<h2>S Sreesanth, during an Instagram live, claimed that Gautam Gambhir kept bad-mouthing him during the Gulf Giants vs India Capitals game in Legends League Cricket, calling him a 'fixer'</h2>

It seems there's no end to the Sreesanth-Gambhir spat. The former Indian teammates were involved in a war of words during a Legends League game on Wednesday, with the umpires stepping in to calm them both down during the match in Surat.
A video circulating on social media also captured a tense moment earlier, where Sreesanth, playing for Gujarat Giants, glared at Gambhir of India Capitals after conceding a six and a four. Gambhir, unimpressed, returned the stare, leading to a verbal clash.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

However, Sreesanth uploaded a video on Instagram soon after, where he ranted against Gautam Gambhir, stating that the former Indian opener always fights with his colleague.

And on Thursday, Sreesanth, in an Instagram live, claimed Gambhir kept calling him a fixer. The 40-year-old said Gambhir didn't even spare the umpires when they tried to calm him down.

"Just want to say this, he kept on calling me, on live television, on the centre wicket, I had not used a single bad word, I had not even used a single abusive word to him. I've only said, what are you saying, what are you saying? I, in fact, kept laughing in a sarcastic way because he kept calling me fixer, fixer, you're a fixer! F**k off, fixer!

#Sreesanth #Gambhir #LLC

<h2>"Anyone who has experienced what I have endured would never forgive you" - S Sreesanth wrote on Gautam Gambhir's Instagram post.</h2>

S Sreesanth, the former Indian fast bowler, has intensified his criticism of Gautam Gambhir following the latter's alleged 'fixer' remark. This row traces back to their confrontation during a Legends League Cricket match and was brought into the public eye <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/watch-s-sreesanth-says-gautam-gambhir-kept-calling-him-fixer-fixer-during-legends-league-cricket-game-1701941299464">through Sreesanth's Instagram live session</a>.
The conflict intensified further after Sreesanth responded to a cryptic Instagram post by Gambhir, which was captioned, "Smile when the world is about attention!"
Commenting on the post, Sreesanth vehemently criticised Gambhir, accusing him of overstepping the boundaries expected of a sportsman and public figure. He expressed shock and disbelief at being repeatedly labeled a 'fixer' by Gambhir.
He wrote, "You have exceeded the boundaries of a sportsman and a brother, and above all, you represent the people. Yet, you continue to engage in conflicts with every cricketer. What is the matter with you? All I did was smile and observe, and you labeled me a fixer? Seriously? Are you above the Supreme Court?"
"You have no authority to speak in such a manner and say whatever you please. You even verbally abused the umpires, and yet you speak of smiling? You are an arrogant and utterly classless individual who lacks any form of respect for those who supported you. Until yesterday, I always held respect for you and your family. However, you used the derogatory term "fixer" not just once, but seven or eight times. You even resorted to using the F-word towards the umpires and myself, persistently trying to provoke me," he added.
In the concluding part of his comment, the 40-year-old said, "Anyone who has experienced what I have endured would never forgive you. Deep down, you know that what you said and did was wrong. I'm sure even God won't forgive you. You didn't even come to the field after that..Come on, God is watching everything."&nbsp;

Virat Kohli's hundred against New Zealand in the World Cup semifinal reignited the conversation about whether Kohli could go past Tendulkar's record of 100 international centuries.

#ViratKohli #SachinTendulkar

<h2>Virat Kohli's hundred against New Zealand in the World Cup semifinal reignited the conversation about whether Kohli could go past Tendulkar's record of 100 international centuries.</h2>

During India's semi-final match against New Zealand in the 50-over World Cup, Virat Kohli achieved his 80th international century, a milestone witnessed by his idol, Sachin Tendulkar. This feat reignited discussions&nbsp;about whether Kohli could eventually surpass Tendulkar's record of 100 international centuries. Brian Lara, the celebrated West Indian cricketer, weighed in on this debate, acknowledging the significant challenge ahead for Kohli.
Lara, in a conversation with Anandabazar Patrika, highlighted the demanding nature of Kohli's pursuit. He pointed out that Kohli, currently 35 years old, would need to maintain a high level of performance for several more years. "If he scores five centuries every year he&rsquo;d need four more years to equal Tendulkar. Kohli will be 39 then. Tough job, very tough job,&rdquo; Lara remarked.
Lara also expressed caution about making predictions, considering the enormity of the task. He noted that amassing 20 more centuries is a formidable challenge, one that many cricketers don't achieve in their entire careers. However, he also shared his admiration for Kohli, expressing his desire to see him equal Tendulkar's record. "My best wishes are with him. I&rsquo;d be very happy if he could score 100 centuries like Tendulkar. Sachin was a dear friend and like I said before, I&rsquo;m a big fan of Kohli.&rdquo;

<h2>AB de Villiers kept playing cricket in the last two years of his career despite an eye injury, which was the result of an accidental kick to his eye by his child.</h2>

AB de Villiers, the former captain of the South African cricket team, recently revealed that he played the final two years of his career with a significant eye injury. The revelation comes years after his retirement from international cricket in 2018, although he continued playing in the Indian Premier League until 2021.
In his last IPL match, de Villiers' team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, faced off against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2021 playoffs.
Speaking to Wisden Cricket Monthly, de Villiers disclosed the details of his eye injury, which occurred not long before his retirement. The injury was the result of an accidental kick to his eye by his child. This incident led to a decline in his right eye's vision.
Remarkably, he managed to continue his cricket career despite the injury. Recalling his doctor's reaction after the surgery, de Villiers shared, &ldquo;When I got the surgery done the doctor actually asked me, &lsquo;How in the world did you play cricket like this?&rsquo;. Luckily my left eye did a decent job for the last two years of my career.&rdquo;

The incident took place during Pakistan's warmup game against the Prime Minister XI, where official broadcasters Fox Cricket ended up using the derogatory term 'PAKI' in the score ticker.

During a warm-up cricket match featuring Pakistan against the Prime Minister XI, Fox Cricket inadvertently used the derogatory term 'PAKI' in their live score ticker, sparking significant controversy.
An Australian journalist highlighted this broadcasting error by sharing a TV grab on social media on the match's opening day at the Manuka Oval. Cricket Australia later addressed and rectified the mistake, extending an apology for the incident.
The term 'PAKI' is recognized as a disrespectful label for individuals of Pakistani or South Asian origin.
Journalist Daany Saeed, who initially brought attention to the issue, shared another post stating Cricket Australia's apology. Saeed explained that the graphic was generated from an automatic feed from a data provider, which hadn't been used for a Pakistan game before. The error was quickly amended manually after being noticed, as clarified by Cricket Australia.

Ahead of the much-awaited T20I World Cup which is scheduled to take place next year, ICC unvieled new logo for the coverted tournament.&nbsp;

The ICC released a new logo with a secret message for the 2024 T20I World Cup. The International Cricket Council (ICC) unveiled a logo that honors both the American "stripes" and the palm trees of the West Indies. To symbolize the fundamental elements of international cricket, the emblem consists of a bat, ball, and energy.
T20 World Cup logo captures inherent drama
ICC claims that the new logo effectively conveys the natural drama that the shortest form carries. In addition, it displays the unwavering energy of Twenty20 cricket while incorporating textures and patterns from the host nation into the new brand identity.

<h2>Luis Rubiales, who was accused of forcibly kissing Spanish player Jenni Hermoso without consent earlier, has now been accused of engaging in unwanted physical contact with two England players.</h2>

Luis Rubiales, the ex-president of the Spanish Football Federation, is now embroiled in another controversy following allegations of inappropriate behavior during the Women&rsquo;s World Cup trophy ceremony.
Rubiales, who was accused of forcibly kissing Spanish player Jenni Hermoso without consent earlier, has now been accused of engaging in unwanted physical contact with two England players. The incident occurred after Spain's 1-0 victory over England in the final on August 20, with footage showing Rubiales kissing Hermoso on the lips.
The new allegations surfaced in a FIFA disciplinary committee report, where Debbie Hewitt, chair of the English Football Association, described witnessing Rubiales's actions. Hewitt recalled Rubiales "cupping and stroking" England's Laura Coombs' face, which she found "slightly odd," followed by him forcefully kissing Lucy Bronze on the face.
Rubiales refuted these claims, criticizing Hewitt for "hypocrisy," as she too embraced players during the ceremony. He condemned Hewitt's portrayal of him as "some sort of creep" as "absolutely disgusting."
Rubiales resigned from his position on September 10 amidst growing backlash and player protests. FIFA also imposed a three-year ban on him in October for his conduct.

After Hardik Pandya's shocking move to Mumbai Indians from Gujarat Titans, GT COO revealed 'wrong approach' by another IPL franchise to siggn Mohammed Shami. 

Gujarat Titans COO reveals 'wrong approach' by IPL franchise to sign Mohammed Shami in addition to Hardik Pandya for IPL 2024

After Hardik Pandya's shocking move to Mumbai Indians from Gujarat Titans, GT COO revealed 'wrong approach' by another IPL franchise to siggn Mohammed Shami.&nbsp;

Ahead of the next IPL season, Hardik Pandya, who captained the Gujarat Titans to a title in 2022 and took the team to the final this year, made the decision to rejoin his former team, the Mumbai Indians.
On the deadline day for player retention, Gujarat Titans first declared that Hardik Pandya will stay, but later Indian all-round player was traded to the Mumbai Indians for cash.
Gujarat Titans COO reveals 'wrong approach'
As per reports, it appears that more players than just Hardik Pandya were courted to leave the Titans. Arvinder Singh, the COO of the Gujarat Titans, claims that a team also contacted star pacer Mohammed Shami to join them for the next year's IPL.
He claimed that, in violation of IPL and BCCI protocol, a different team made direct contact with Mohammed Shami regarding a transfer. The GT COO charged another franchise with using unfair business practices in an interview with News18.
"It's wrong to contact players directly for an IPL trade," he said. &ldquo;Teams ought to adhere to the guidelines established by the BCCI and IPL,&rdquo; he added.
Shubman Gill named skipper of Gujarat Titans
Once Hardik Pandya Pandya's exit was sure, GT team management was looking for their new skipper and 24-year-old opener Shubman Gill became an obvious captaincy choice, having got the coveted 'orange cap' in the last season with 890 runs, second to only Virat Kohli's all-time record of 973.&nbsp;
Having collaborated closely with Gill, Solanki attested to his maturity.
"Over the past two years, Shubman Gill has demonstrated growth in stature and status at the highest level of the game. In cricket, we've watched him develop as a leader as well as a hitter," Solanki said.

Manchester United now sits in the 6th position while Liverpool has now moved up to the 2nd position.

EPL roundup: Relief for Man United coach Erik ten Hag; Man City go down 1-0 against Aston Villa

Manchester United now sits in the 6th position while Liverpool has now moved up to the 2nd position.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has spent the majority of the season in apparent crisis.
Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, spoke this week of his confidence that Manchester City would win an unprecedented fourth Premier League title in a row.
How quickly fortunes can change in soccer. Just three points now separate the rivals after United beat Chelsea 2-1 and the defending champions lost 1-0 at Aston Villa on Wednesday to extend their winless run in the league to four games.
"We are on a journey. We keep calm... We are going in the right direction," Ten Hag said after he put a difficult few days behind him with a morale-boosting win.
The Dutch coach had gone into the game on the back of a 10th defeat of the season at Newcastle over the weekend and reports of player unrest in the locker room.
"(We) Don't get distracted from criticism around us, but we are very critical of ourselves,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We know we are not satisfied and happy. We always want to do things better.' Two goals from Scott McTominay secured the win and moved United up to sixth &mdash; three points off fourth-placed City.
Ten Hag will likely face much greater tests than a Chelsea team that is still struggling from the hangover of a chaotic first season under the ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. Not least against Bayern Munich next week, with a place in the Champions League knockout stage hanging by a thread.
But United's manager would still welcome the change of mood around the club after such a troubled campaign, saying &ldquo;we wanted to send this message to crowd.&rdquo; Now it is Guardiola who is facing tough questions as he was left to assess a winless run that saw City overtaken by Villa after Leon Bailey's 74th-minute winner.
City's previous three games in the league ended in draws, allowing leader Arsenal to extend a six-point lead over it in the standings after a 4-3 win against Luton on Tuesday.
"In these years we have found a way to win games, but we struggled a bit and we have to find a way," Guardiola said.
"It is my job to find a solution. The dynamic changes by winning games." Villa's win saw it move up to third, two points ahead of last season's treble winners. Second-placed Liverpool trails Arsenal by two points after a 2-0 victory at Sheffield United.
LIVERPOOL WINS Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool spoiled Chris Wilder's homecoming party at Sheffield United.
Wilder returned to the relegation-threatened club on Tuesday, having taken the team up to English soccer's top division in 2019 and to a ninth-place finish in the 2019-20.
But he has a fight on his hands to avoid the drop. Goals from Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai consigned last-place Sheffield United to a 12th defeat of the season that leaves it four points from safety.
COOPER PRESSURE Nottingham Forest may be six points above the drop zone, but a 5-0 rout by Fulham has heaped the pressure on manager Steve Cooper.
Forest has lost five of its last six games in the league and only won one in its last 11.
Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez scored two each at Craven Cottage and Tom Cairney completed the rout that has increased speculation about Cooper's future.
BOURNEMOUTH RUN Andoni Iraola is getting things right at Bournemouth. Having had to wait until October for a first win in the league, his team beat Crystal Palace 2-0 to make it three wins out of four in England's top flight.
Bournemouth is now up to 15th in the standings and nine points above the relegation zone.
Eighth-placed Brighton beat Brentford 2-1 to leave it five points off the top four.

India practised in Ahmedabad on the eve of their huge World Cup showdown with arch-rivals Pakistan on October 14. Young gun Shubman Gill who will likely play against the Men in Green at the Narendra Modi Stadium also looked healthy and was seen practising alongside the Indian players.&nbsp; Apart from Gill, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shardul Thakur, and Shreyas Iyer were all sweating it out at the huge stadium that is set to host the blockbuster event in front of a huge crowd of 132,000. Both sides who play their 3rd game of the marquee event have won their first two matches in the 2023 edition of the World Cup.

Cricket World Cup Final pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium receives 'average' rating from ICC

The ICC has given an 'average' rating to the Ahmedabad pitch that hosted the Cricket World Cup final.

<h2>In the three knockouts of the ICC Cricket World Cup, only the India vs New Zealand pitch got a 'good' rating.</h2>

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which hosted the ODI World Cup final on November 19 between India and Australia, received an "average" rating for its pitch from the International Cricket Council (ICC). While the pitch was deemed average, the outfield earned a "very good" rating from ICC match referee and former Zimbabwean cricketer Andy Pycroft.
In the final, Australia triumphed over India by six wickets on a slow and sluggish pitch. India, opting to bat first, set a target of 240 runs in 50 overs, which Australia comfortably chased down in 43 overs, thanks to Travis Head's impressive 137 off 120 balls. <a href="https://www.editorji.com/amp/web-stories/sports/cricket/7-players-who-can-fetch-big-money-during-wpl-auction-1702029916953">7 players who can fetch big money during WPL auction</a>
The ICC has consistently rated pitches used in India's league matches in Kolkata, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, and Chennai as 'average.' In contrast, the pitch at the Wankhede Stadium for the semifinal match between India and New Zealand was rated 'good.' This rating came amidst reports of India using a previously played-on surface for the semifinal.
The Eden Gardens pitch in Kolkata, the venue for the second semifinal between Australia and South Africa, also received an "average" rating from the ICC. This low-scoring match saw Australia chasing down South Africa's total of 212 with seven wickets lost in 47.2 overs. Javagal Srinath, former Indian pacer and ICC match referee, however, rated Eden Gardens' outfield as "very good."
The ICC defines an "average" pitch as one lacking in carry, bounce, or occasional seam movement, but maintaining consistency in carry and bounce. It may offer a degree of turn for spinners but falls short of the "very good" category in terms of carry, bounce, and turn.

<h2>37-year-old David Warner chose not to engage in controversy over Mitchell Johnson's scathing remarks that had cast doubts on Warner's current form and place in the squad.</h2>

Australian opening batter David Warner recently shrugged off critical comments from ex-teammate Mitchell Johnson about his decision to set a retirement timeline. Johnson, in a column, had cast doubt on Warner's current form and referenced his involvement in the infamous ball-tampering incident.
Warner had expressed a wish for a farewell Test in Sydney, part of the upcoming series against Pakistan starting on January 3, 2024.
The 37-year-old chose not to engage in controversy over Johnson's remarks. Speaking at a Fox Cricket event, he said, "It wouldn't be a summer without a headline, would it? It is what it is. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions." This response marked Warner's first public comments following Johnson's harsh criticism.
Warner has scored only one Test century since the summer of 2020-21, but it was a significant double century against South Africa in his 100th Test at the MCG in 2022. Australian selectors remain supportive of Warner, though his successor beyond the Sydney Test is yet to be determined.
Reflecting on his journey, Warner credited his resilience to his upbringing, emphasizing the importance of perseverance amidst media scrutiny and criticism.
Australian Test captain Pat Cummins also voiced strong support for Warner, highlighting the team's protective nature, especially towards long-standing members like Warner and Steve Smith. Cummins stressed the team's recent successes and the positive aspects of Australian cricket, choosing to focus on these rather than Johnson's critical commentary.

S Sreesanth vs Gautam Gambhir: Former Indian pacer served legal notice by LLC - Reports

The ongoing feud between S Sreesanth and Gautam Gambhir took another turn on Friday, with Legends League Cricket reportedly sending a legal notice to Sreesanth.

<h2>LLC authorities had said on Thursday that they will conduct an &ldquo;internal investigation&rdquo; after Sreesanth's outburst against Gambhir.&nbsp;</h2>

The ongoing feud between S Sreesanth and Gautam Gambhir took another turn on Friday, with the Legends League Cricket reportedly sending a legal notice to Sreesanth. The development follows Sreesanth's claim that Gambhir referred to him as a 'fixer' during a match.
According to India Today, the LLC has stipulated that discussions with Sreesanth will only commence once he deletes the videos criticizing Gambhir from his social media platforms.
LLC authorities said on Thursday that they will conduct an &ldquo;internal investigation&rdquo; after Sreesanth uploaded the scathing video on his Instagram. The LLC said if evidence of misconduct is found, it will be "dealt with strictly".
On Wednesday, the umpires had to intervene and separate the two players. Sreesanth was handed a life ban by the BCCI's disciplinary committee due to his alleged involvement in the IPL 2013 spot-fixing scandal.
However, the ban was reduced to seven years in 2019 by the Supreme Court of India.

Juventus midfielder may face a 4-year ban in a doping case in Italy. He had tested positive for testosterone earlier.

Juventus’ Paul Pogba may face a 4-year ban in doping case

Juventus midfielder may face a 4-year ban in a doping case in Italy. He had tested positive for testosterone earlier.

Anti-doping prosecutors in Italy requested a maximum four-year ban for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba on Thursday after the World Cup winner tested positive for testosterone.
Pogba opted not to make a plea bargain with Italy's anti-doping agency, meaning the case will be tried before the country's anti-doping court.
If the four-year ban is confirmed, it could end the 30-year-old Pogba&rsquo;s career.
Four-year bans are standard under the World Anti-Doping Code but can be reduced in cases where an athlete can prove their doping was not intentional, if the positive test was a result of contamination or if they provide &ldquo;substantial assistance&rdquo; to help investigators.
Pogba&rsquo;s positive test was announced in September, stemming from an exam that was carried out after Juventus&rsquo; game at Udinese on Aug. 20. Pogba did not play in the Serie A match but was on Juve&rsquo;s bench.
Pogba has made no public comments on the case.
&ldquo;Humanely, I&rsquo;m sorry for Paul,&rdquo; Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said in October.
The doping case is another negative note for a player who has been bothered by injuries ever since rejoining Juventus from Manchester United in July of last year. He was ruled out of France&rsquo;s run to the World Cup final last year due to a knee injury, played in only six Serie A matches for Juventus last season and two this season.
There&rsquo;s also been a police investigation ongoing in France into allegations that Pogba was targeted by extortionists &mdash; including by his older brother Mathias, who has denied any wrongdoing.
Pogba scored for France in the 4-2 win over Croatia in the 2018 World Cup final. He played in 178 matches for Juventus from 2012-16.
