<h2>After a thrilling victory against England, Shai Hope recalled the advice from former Indian skipper MS Dhoni.</h2>

West Indies captain Shai Hope delivered a breathtaking knock, reminiscent of MS Dhoni's finishing prowess, guiding his team to victory against England. Hope's remarkable hundred, highlighted by three sixes in the penultimate over, drew parallels to Dhoni's renowned ability to steer the team to triumph in crunch situations.
Reflecting on the victory and his Dhoni-inspired approach, Hope shared the advice he got from the former Indian captain a few years back. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Hope said Dhoni's advice, emphasizing that he 'always had a lot more time than he thought' had stuck with him &lsquo;throughout the years.&rsquo;
Hope recalled the guidance from Dhoni as he faced Sam Curran in the 49th over, smashing three sixes in four balls to secure a thrilling victory for the West Indies.
Hope's exceptional knock of an unbeaten 109 runs off 83 deliveries played a pivotal role in West Indies securing a 1-0 lead over England, chasing down a target of 326 runs. His remarkable innings was acknowledged as he earned the Player of the Match title.

<h2>The Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq argument which took the IPL by storm in summer came to an end during the World Cup and the younger player has spoken at length about it.</h2>

The infamous Virat Kohli-Naveen-ul-Haq spat in the IPL was perhaps one of the most talked about incidents in 2023.&nbsp; And even after the game was over, the fight reportedly wasn't.&nbsp; Naveen had taken to his Instagram and posted a photo of a mango and wrote, 'sweet mangoes'.&nbsp; Fans were quick to assume it was a dig at Virat Kohli, who is also fondly known as 'Cheeku'.&nbsp; But now, months later, Naveen has cleared the air.&nbsp; In an interview for his IPL team, the Lucknow Super Giants he revealed, 'I had told Dhaval bhai (LSG team logistics) that I wanted to eat mangoes. And he got mangoes that night itself. When we went to Goa, he brought mangoes.'&nbsp; 'So I was sitting in front of the screen and eating mangoes. There was no picture or anything (of Kohli), it was a Mumbai Indians player on the screen. So I wrote 'sweet mangoes' and everyone took it in a different way. So even I didn't say anything, I just left it. I thought it was mango season, so people's shops should also do well,' Naveen concluded.&nbsp; In the recently concluded Cricket World Cup, Naveen and Kohli put an end to their differences and hugged it out during an India-Afghanistan clash.&nbsp; Naveen also spilled the beans on his patch-up with the India star during his interview and also revealed what the two cricketers spoke about.&nbsp;

India to bid for 2029 World Athletics Championships 

AFI vice president Anju Bobby George said that as the country plans to bid for the 2036 Olympics, hosting the 2029 Athletics Worlds would be very good.&nbsp;

India is set to bid for the 2029 World Athletics Championships after dropping its earlier intention to host the 2027 edition of the prestigious tournament, a top official of the national federation said on Sunday.
The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) was earlier considering to bid for the hosting rights of the 2027 World Athletics Championships but it is now learnt that it has dropped the plan and is instead looking to host the 2029 edition.
"Yes, we are interested in bidding for the 2029 World Athletics Championships," AFI senior Vice President Anju Bobby George told PTI, on the sidelines on the sidelines of the AFI Annual General Body meeting.
"India has expressed interest to host the 2036 Olympics and 2030 Youth Olympics. So, it will be very good if we can host the 2029 World Athletics Championships," said the legendary long jumper.
The time period for the formal bidding for the 2029 World Athletics Championships is not known yet. The World Athletics has published the bidding timeline for the 2027 World Athletics Championships -- which began early this year -- but not for the 2029 edition.
The last edition of the World Athletics Championships was held in Budapest, Hungary in August and the next one will be held in 2025 in Tokyo.

The young left-arm pacer conceded 37 runs in his first three overs and nobody expected him to defend 10 runs with Australian skipper Matthew Wade on strike.&nbsp;

Arshdeep Singh felt that it was simply divine intervention and unhinged faith from his skipper Suryakumar Yadav which enabled him to defend 10 runs in the final over of a thrilling fifth T20 International, wherein India pipped Australia by just six runs.
The left-arm seamer has been profligate at the death in T20Is for more than one year and after giving away 37 runs in his first three overs on Sunday, no one would have thought that he would be able to defend just 10 with the dangerous Matthew Wade on strike.
"I gave away too many runs but God gave me another chance and the support staff believed in me. To be honest, nothing was going in my mind. Surya bhai told me whatever has to happen will happen," a beaming Arshdeep said at the end of the match, having nailed those block-hole deliveries, giving away only three runs.
On his own bowling, he said,"A lot of lessons learnt but I will come back from the mistakes." Skipper Surya felt that the young team ticked all boxes in a comprehensive series win by 4-1 margin.

EPL round-up: Six-goal thriller at Etihad Stadium, Liverpool edge Fulham; Chelsea's second home win

Sunday's results kept Arsenal two points clear at the top of the table, with Liverpool second and City in third.

Tottenham's Dejan Kulusevski headed a dramatic late equaliser in a six-goal thriller at Manchester City on Sunday after Liverpool staged a sensational comeback on a breathless afternoon in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola's champions led 2-1 at the break thanks to a Phil Foden goal after Spurs captain Son Heung-min had scored at both ends, but Giovani Lo Celso's superb strike made it 2-2. Substitute Jack Grealish looked to have secured City's first Premier League win in three games when he struck in the 81st minute but the visitors refused to lie down and Sweden international Kulusevski rose to power home from Brennan Johnson's cross, stunning the Etihad crowd.
The game ended in controversy after play was initially allowed to go on after Erling Haaland was fouled as he played Grealish in on goal before it was then called back.
Sunday's results mean Arsenal remain two points clear at the top of the table, with Liverpool second and City in third.
Earlier, Liverpool appeared set for their first home defeat in the Premier League since October 2022 when they trailed 3-2 to Bobby De Cordova-Reid's goal in the 80th minute.
But they turned the tables in dramatic fashion through Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who struck in the 87th and 88th minutes for a 4-3 win over Fulham.&nbsp;
Chelsea recorded just their second Premier League home win of the season against Brighton, despite being reduced to 10 men when leading 2-1 before half-time, with Gallagher picking up a second booking.
Enzo Fernandez scored his second from the penalty spot in the 65th minute and Chelsea held on despite a late Joao Pedro goal.

Mohamed Salah: Egypt's football star calls on world leaders to come together for Gaza | Israel-Hamas War

'All lives are sacred and must be protected. The massacres need to stop. Families are being torn apart' - Mohd Salah has voiced his support for Gaza amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas War. 

<h2>Mohamed Salah, who plays for the Egypt national team and Liverpool FC, voiced his support for Gaza amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas War.&nbsp;</h2>

Egypt football captain Mohamed Salah voiced his support for Gaza in a video message on October 19.&nbsp; Calling on world leaders to come together to prevent further slaughter of innocent souls, Salah said, 'There has been too much violence, heartbreak and brutality,' adding that Gaza must receive humanitarian aid immediately.&nbsp; He also spoke of the airtstrike on a Gaza hospital that reportedly killed over 500 Palestinians stating that scenes from there were horrifying.&nbsp; The 31-year-old Liverpool forward emphasised, 'All lives are sacred and must be protected. The massacres need to stop. Families are being torn apart.'&nbsp; He concluded with a singular message, 'Humanity must prevail.'

A national-level shooter and Air Force officer lost his thumb in a gun related accident at New Delhi's Karni Singh shooting range.

National level shooter loses thumb in bizarre gun accident at Karni Singh Range

An Air Force corporal, who was preparing for the National Shooting Championships, lost his thumb in a bizarre explosion at Delhi's Karni Singh range.

<h2>An Air Force corporal, who was preparing for the National Shooting Championships, lost his thumb in a gun-related accident at Delhi's Karni Singh shooting range.</h2>

A national-level shooter partially lost his left thumb when the 10m air pistol cylinder he was filling with compressed air exploded at the Karni Singh Range.
The incident, which left everyone shocked, occurred on Saturday evening.
Pushpender Kumar, a corporal with the Indian Air Force, was training at the shooting range for the National Championships, currently underway in Bhopal when he suffered severe damage to his left thumb, which required immediate hospitalisation.
He is currently admitted to the Indian Army's R&amp;R hospital here.
A national coach told PTI on condition of anonymity that while Pushpender was filling compressed air into the pistol cylinder from the main cylinder, the incident happened.
Air pistols and air rifles have a sleek gas cylinder attached just below the barrel. When the shooter presses the trigger, the compressed gas in the cylinder is released, which hits a hammer inside the air gun, ejecting the lead pellet.
The air pistol's cylinder has to be filled after a certain number of shots with the help of a compressor or a portable cylinder.
Earlier, carbon dioxide used to be the preferred gas to fill the cylinders but with the advancement in technology, compressed air cylinders, which look like smaller versions of LPG cylinders, are used to fill the air pistol cylinders.
Pushpender belongs to the Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh and, while he has not competed in internationally, he is a senior member of the IAF team.
He had lost his mother nearly a month back.
"We are hopeful Pushpender will make 90-95 per cent recovery post surgery," said the coach.
"Air pistol cylinders have to be replaced after a certain period of time and the gun manufacturers do it for free. Thankfully, Pushpender's shooting arm is safe." The coach added that he had not come across such an incident in his career "though (gun) vendors say such incidents do happen".
It is not known whether the air pistol was personal or belonged to the Air Force.
"It is sad that he will not be able to compete in the national championships currently underway in Bhopal. His mother had passed away some 15-20 days back. As far as I know, he has not played internationally. He usually trains at the Karni Singh range in Delhi," the coach added.
The coach said that international rifle shooter from Meerut, Ravi Kumar, who is also with the IAF, was with Pushpender at the Army hospital to take care of him.
Kumar, a World Cup bronze medallist, told PTI that Pushpender is doing well post surgery and should be released from hospital soon.
"He is doing fine and should be discharged in the next 2-3 days," said Kumar.
Another pistol coach at the Karni Singh range said that it is important that air pistol and rifle shooters replace their gun cylinders every 10 years or as directed by the weapon manufacturer.
"There is a possibility of a mishap if the refill cylinders are not replaced as directed by the manufacturers. I don't know the exact cause of the blast but one should not take it lightly as once the validity expires anything can happen," he said on condition of anonymity.
"Pushpender is a good shooter and I have known him for a long time. What I have been told is that he has undergone a major surgery. He is around 28-30 years old. Usually what happens is that the pressure gauge indicator on the air weapon's cylinder starts malfunctioning, giving incorrect reading. It leads to overfilling of the cylinder, which causes it to burst," he added.&nbsp;

<h2>"If we have success then fabulous, if we don't, then I know we will go down in the style that we want to go down" - Brendon McCullum on India series</h2>

In the upcoming five-Test series against India, England, under the coaching influence of Brendon McCullum, is committed to maintaining the 'Bazball' style of play, characterized by an aggressive and initiative-seeking batting approach. McCullum, the former New Zealand captain, expressed his unwavering belief in this strategy, regardless of the outcome, emphasizing the team's clear attacking intent for the marquee series.
"Bazball," a term derived from McCullum's nickname 'Baz,' has been officially recognized by the Collins dictionary as "a style of test cricket in which the batting side attempts to gain the initiative by playing in a highly aggressive manner."
Acknowledging the formidable challenge posed by India, McCullum stated, "I am excited about it because you want to test yourself against the best side and I genuinely believe that India is the best in their own condition. It is going to be a good challenge for us. If we have success then fabulous, if we don't, then I know we will go down in the style that we want to go down,"&nbsp;
During his address at the Royal Challengers Bangalore Innovation Lab's Leaders Meet India, McCullum shared insights into the essence of 'Bazball.' "We are playing the game because we love cricket and want to be as good at cricket as we possibly can," he affirmed. The attacking style of play has not only brought immediate success but has also allowed England to unlock the potential of younger players over the past 18 months.
Reflecting on the origin of 'Bazball,' McCullum recalled his iconic IPL knock of 158 off 73 balls, describing it as a life-changing moment. "That day provided the platform, the forum, and the opportunity to change my life," he remarked, underscoring the transformative impact of his fearless innings.
As England gears up for the challenging series starting January 25, the 'Bazball' ethos remains at the forefront, symbolizing the team's commitment to an aggressive and fearless approach on Indian pitches.

Jofra Archer to miss IPL 2024 after ECB tells him to manage workload ahead of T20 World Cup

<h2>Jofra Archer, who has been plagued by multiple injuries, suffered a recurrence of his elbow stress fracture while playing for MI during the IPL in May.</h2>

England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has instructed Jofra Archer to skip next year's Indian Premier League (IPL) in order to manage the injury-prone pacer's workload in the run-up to the 2024 T20 World Cup, according to a report.
Archer, who was bought by Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2022 IPL for a whopping INR 8 crore, was released by the franchise last week. His name doesn't figure in the list of players who have registered for the IPL auction, set to be held on December 19 in Dubai.
Archer, who has been plagued by multiple injuries, suffered a recurrence of his elbow stress fracture while playing for MI during the IPL in May. The 28-year-old Barbados-born cricketer hasn't played any professional cricket since then and also missed the ODI World Cup.

"... the ECB believes that it will be easier to manage Archer's comeback if he is in the UK in April and May under its supervision than if he is in India on the books of an IPL team looking to get their money's worth from him," 'ESPNCricinfo' reported.
As per the report, he has signed a new two-year contract with the ECB and ahead of the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the United States from June 4 next year, the board has "opted to take as much control over Archer as possible." Archer had briefly travelled to India for the World Cup but returned to the UK after less than a week due to elbow pain. ECB is hopeful that the pace spearhead will be a part of England's squad for the T20 World Cup "We take that bet with him that we want him back fit and able to play for England, because of the upside," former England opener and current managing director (men's cricket) Robert Key had said last month "You start looking at things like the Ashes in two years, the T20 World Cup&hellip; Jofra adds so much to that," he had said back then.
As many as 34 England players, including Harry Brook, Adil Rashid and Chris Woakes, have registered for the IPL auction.
While the likes of Moeen Ali, Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Jason Roy, Mark Wood, Will Jacks and Reece Topley have been retained by their franchise.
Test skipper Ben Stokes, who is in rehab after undergoing surgery on his left knee, and Joe Root have both opted out of the cash-rich league.&nbsp;

Should Virat Kohli be in India’s T20 World Cup squad? Here’s what Sanjay Manjrekar said

35-year-old Virat Kohli will have to show he is the better pick than the youngsters, former Indian cricket Sanjay Manjrekar said as India prepares for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

After Virat Kohli opted out of the limited-overs leg of India&rsquo;s tour of South Africa, his inclusion in the upcoming T20 World Cup remains uncertain.
Speaking on Kohli&rsquo;s chances for the marquee tournament, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said that the 35-year-old will have to show he is a better pick than the youngsters who are currently playing.
Manjrekar said the selection dilemma also extended to Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, both of whom may be considered for captaincy in the T20 World Cup.
&ldquo;I believe the approach should be extremely simple. We have played a lot of World Cups and haven't been able to win them,&rdquo; the former cricketer said on Star Sports.
The Kohli-Rohit duo has been missing from all Indian T20I squads since the 2022 World Cup in Australia.With notable performances from younger top-order batters like Shubhman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswal in recent times, the selection committee is spoilt for choices at the moment.

<h2>South African pacers Gerald Coetzee, Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi have been excluded from the ODIs but will feature in the T20Is and Tests against India.</h2>

South Africa's captain, Temba Bavuma, and pace maestro Kagiso Rabada have been rested for the white-ball segment of the upcoming series against India. The duo is slated to make their return for the two Test matches, with a strategic focus on red-ball cricket.
The Proteas are set to host India for a comprehensive series, featuring three T20Is, three ODIs, and two Tests, commencing with the T20 format on December 10 in Durban.
Cricket South Africa clarified the decision, stating, "Captain Temba Bavuma and Kagiso Rabada are amongst a group of players that have been omitted for the white-ball leg of the tour in order to play red-ball cricket as emphasis is placed on the Test series for which both will return."
During Bavuma's absence in the white-ball fixtures, Aiden Markram will assume the captaincy responsibilities.
The Test squad welcomes wicketkeeper-batter Tristan Stubbs for the first time, while Heinrich Klaasen is excluded from the red-ball squad.
Notably, pacers Gerald Coetzee, Marco Jansen, and Lungi Ngidi have been excluded from the ODIs, marking a low priority for the format after the 50-over World Cup. However, the trio will be part of the squad for the T20Is and Test matches that follow the ODI series.
Given the significance of World Test Championships points and the upcoming T20 World Cup, both South Africa and India have introduced new faces in their ODI squads. This includes the uncapped pair of medium pacer Ottniel Baartman and all-rounder Mihlali Mpongwana. Additionally, David Bedingham (Test) and pacer Nandre Burger (all three formats) have earned their maiden national call-ups.
