The Mumbai batter led the charge and made a strong 100-run stand with Shardul Thakur that helped the drowning Indian side make a return in the marquee Test.

India's Ajinkya Rahane who is making a Test comeback after a year hushed his critics with a sturdy 89 against Australia on Day 3 of the World Test Championship final. After a collapse on Day 2, the Mumbai batter led the charge and made a strong 100-run stand with Shardul Thakur that helped the drowning Indian side make a return in the marquee Test.

Sahal Abdul Samad and Lallianzuala Chhangte scored in the 2nd and 14th minute respectively as the 101st-ranked Indians emerged victorious

A dominant India struck two quick first-half goals to beat lower-ranked Mongolia 2-0 and begin their Intercontinental Cup campaign on a winning note on Friday.
Sahal Abdul Samad and Lallianzuala Chhangte scored in the 2nd and 14th minute respectively as the 101st-ranked Indians emerged victorious over their opponents placed 183rd in the world, at the Kalinga Stadium in hot and humid conditions.
India, the 2018 edition champions, dominated the match for the most part, attacking and creating chances while the Mongolians were left to defend their citadel. The home side had 65 per cent possession in the match.
The only worrying part for head coach Igor Stimac was the inability of his attackers to find the opposition net on numerous occasions in the second half.
Captain and talisman Chhetri had a relatively quiet day as he played deeper than usual and was replaced by Rahim Ali in the 71st minute. Lalengmawia Ralte also was not up to the mark and he was replaced by Jeakson Singh.
India made a fast start and were 2-0 up inside 15 minutes with strikes from Sahal and Chhangte.
Midfielder Anirudh Thapa found himself in the clear on the right flank in the second minute and he pulled one back into the middle of the penalty box. The Mongolian keeper got a hand to it but Sahal was there to fire home with a low left-footer.
There was a brief period when the Mongolians tried to settle down, keeping the ball to themselves but the Blue Tigers were on the prowl and scored soon from a corner.
Thapa was involved yet again as his 14th-minute corner and Sandesh Jhinghan's header rebounded off a Mongolian defender on the goal-line and Chhangte was in hand to poke the ball into the net.
Three minutes later, Udanta Singh got the ball from captain Chhetri inside the Mongolian box and he appeared to have been tripped by a defender. The Indians shouted for a penalty but the referee had none of it.
Mongolia also had their own penalty claim in the 37th minute when their midfielder Baljinnyam Batmunkh was at the receiving end of a sliding tackle from behind by Anwar Ali but the referee turned down the visiting side's claim.
India were clearly the dominant side in the first half with 53 per cent possession and seven shots at opposition goal of which three were on target.
The home side dominance continued in the second half but they found it hard to break down the Mongolian defence. The Mongolian defence did better in the second 45 minutes than the first as they brought more men to deny the Indians from scoring.
Udanta had a clear run inside the Mongolian box in the 55th minute after a Sahal flick but he failed to keep his shot down. Udanta and Sahal were replaced by Rohit Kumar and Naorem Mahesh at the hour mark in search of goals.
The introduction of fresh legs led to a flurry of shots at the Mongolian goal, though without success. Rohit nearly scored in the 83rd minute but his header off a Thapa corner got the fingertips of the Mongoian goalkeeper and ricocheted off the woodwork.
Just before the start of the match, both sides observed a minute's silence to pay respect to the victims of the Odisha train tragedy.

WTC Final 2023 | Former Pakistan cricketer accuses Australians of ball tampering

He went on to question Pujara's dismissal as well and said, 'Green bowled with the shine pointing towards Pujara and the ball rocketed back in'&nbsp;

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has accused the Australian team of ball tampering in the World Test Championship final against India.&nbsp; Slamming the commentators, match officials and BCCI for not noticing their tactics that led to the collapse of India's batting order on Day 2, the 52-year-old gave evidence for his claims.&nbsp; On his YouTube channel, Ali blamed Pat Cummins' team for altering the ball in the 15th over.&nbsp; He first explained the reverse swing and then spoke specifically about the wickets of Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara. While Kohli fell to Mitchell Starc's bouncer, Cameron Green outbowled Pujara with a straight-forward delivery. Explaining the mechanism behind the 2 deliveries, Ali described reverse swing and said, 'Reverse swing is when the shine is on the inside and the ball comes back in'. He also pointed out that a Dukes ball will not reverse in 15-20 overs and can last till 40 overs at least.&nbsp; Noting that this was not the case when Starc bowled to Kohli with the ball's shiny end pointing outside, he said 'the ball moved the other way'&nbsp; He went on to question Pujara's dismissal as well and said, 'Green bowled with the shine pointing towards Pujara and the ball rocketed back in'&nbsp; This is not the first time that the Australians have been accused of ball tampering, in 2018 David Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft were found guilty of tampering with the ball.&nbsp; On Day 2, Australian bowlers wreaked havoc on India's top order as they had reduced them to 151/5 after posting a mammoth 469-run target in the first innings.&nbsp;

However, it was the pep talk at halftime which seemed to do the magic as the Cityzens went on to score two more goals courtesy of Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan in the 46th and 53rd minute respectively.

It was just another day in the office for Manchester City as they came from a goal behind to beat Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool 4-1 on the day without league's topscorer Erling Haaland to keep their title hopes alive in the Premier League on Saturday.
Liverpool took the lead via Mohammed Salah in the 17th minute as City seemed to wake up after falling behind and kept the pressure on Liverpool to eventually find the equaliser through Julian Alvarez in the 27th minute.
However, it was the pep talk at halftime which seemed to do the magic as the Cityzens went on to score two more goals courtesy of Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan in the 46th and 53rd minute respectively.
Jack Grealish got the cherry on the top with City's fourth in the 74th minute as De Bruyne found him to place the ball quite comfortably past Alisson in the bottom right corner.

<h2>A clean catch or not? Controversy erupted over Cameron Green's catch of Shubman Gill in the second innings.&nbsp;</h2>

Shubman Gill's wicket in the second innings caused a huge controversy on the fourth day of the World Test Championship final.
Chasing a mammoth 444, India were off to a fantastic start at 41/0 after just 7 overs.
However, a Scott Boland delivery kicked up from a length to take the shoulder of Shubman Gill's bat.&nbsp;
Cameron Green, who had taken a blinder in the first innings to send Ajinkya Rahane back, dived to his left and seemed to have taken another sensational catch just millimetres above the ground.
However, Gill wasn't sure and when the third umpire was asked to check, replays were inconclusive, with many wondering if the ball had just kissed the grass before Green snaffled it.
Third umpire Richard Kettleborough though adjudged it to be a fair catch after going through multiple replays, stating Green's fingers were underneath the ball when he completed the take.&nbsp;
The third umpire's decision didn't go down too well with the Indian fans, who were fuming why the benefit of the doubt didn't go to the batter.&nbsp;
Even captain Rohit Sharma couldn't quite hide his frustration when the OUT decision flashed on the big screen, much to the disappointment of 90% of the fans at the ground.

With Asian Games coming up, Indian wrestlers have told the media they won't be taking part in the tournament if Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh isn't behind bars.

Indian Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik has alleged that the minor complainant in the sexual harassment case against former WFI Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh changed her statement under pressure.
"There's huge pressure on us to compromise," she said during an interview with NDTV, accusing Brij Bhushan of getting his men to call and threaten the complainants.
Protesting wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik said that the 'minor' wrestler's father is going through depression because of the pressure he has been put under, following which he also withdrew the complaint.
With the Asian Games coming up, Sakshi Malik has told the media that they won't be participating in the games if Brij Bhushan isn't arrested by then.

According to sources, Phogat was accompanied by women constables.
"At 1.30 pm women officers took Sangeeta Phogat to Brij Bhushan's official residence in Delhi. They were there for half an hour. They asked her to recreate the scene and recall the places where she faced harassment," sources said.
The Delhi Police's Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing sexual harassment allegations against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president and BJP MP from Kaiserganj, Uttar Pradesh is likely to submit in the court its investigation report in the two cases registered against him by next week, officials said on Wednesday.

Neeraj Chopra: Indian Olympic Champion to miss Paavo Nurmi Games 2023

After missing the FBK games in the Netherlands last month, Olympic Gold medallist Neeraj Chopra has now pulled out of the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland.

#NeerajChopra #PaavoNurmi

<h2>After missing the FBK games in the Netherlands last month, Olympic Gold medallist Neeraj Chopra will also give the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland a miss.</h2>

Indian Olympic Champion Neeraj Chopra has withdrawn from the highly anticipated Paavo Nurmi Games 2023. The prestigious event, which has been a celebrated fixture in Turku, Finland since 1957, holds the esteemed title of a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event.
Neeraj gained significant recognition at last year's Finland meet, astonishing spectators with a national record-breaking throw of 89.30m, securing a well-deserved silver medal.&nbsp;
Just last month, Neeraj had withdrawn from the FBK Games in the Netherlands, citing a muscle strain sustained during training. This setback further prolonged his absence from the major competitive arena, spanning approximately eight months since his victorious performance at the Diamond League 2022 finals in Eugene, Oregon, back in September.
However, Neeraj did make a triumphant return to form on May 5th of this year at the Doha Diamond League, showcasing his exceptional talent and determination with a winning throw of 88.67m at the esteemed Qatar Sports Club.
Unfortunately, Neeraj's absence won't be limited to just the Paavo Nurmi Games; he will also miss the National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championships 2023. Fans will have to wait until June 27th for his next scheduled appearance at the Golden Spike Ostrava in the Czech Republic.
Despite these setbacks, Neeraj's sights are firmly set on two major upcoming events. He plans to compete in the highly anticipated World Athletics Championships in August, followed by the Asian Games in September, where he will aim to win another Gold medal.
Interestingly, Neeraj won't be the only high-profile athlete missing from the Paavo Nurmi Games. Johannes Vetter, a former world champion from Germany, has also made the difficult decision to skip the event. These two renowned competitors, who previously clashed at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, were expected to reignite their captivating rivalry at the Finnish meet.
