Mahesh Pithiya, who the Australians have been using as a net bowler due to the uncanny resemblance with Ashwin's action, finally met his idol at the Vidarbha Cricket Ground.

IND vs AUS: Touched Ashwin's feet, he asked what I have been bowling to Aussies - Mahesh Pithiya

Mahesh Pithiya, who has been in the news for being the 'duplicate Ashwin', revealed how his meeting went with his idol in Nagpur.
Here's what he said.

Mahesh Pithiya, who the Australians have been using as a net bowler due to the uncanny resemblance with Ashwin's action, finally met his idol at the Vidarbha Cricket Ground.

Mahesh Pithiya, an off-spinner from Baroda, has been in the limelight ever since Australia chose him to be a net bowler for them.
The reason - the uncanny resemblance to R Ashwin's bowling action.
In an interview with PTI, Pithiya revealed how he got Steve Smith out 5-6 times on the first day. The 21-year-old also spoke about how his meeting went with his idol Ashwin.

Pithiya said he touched Ashwin's feet when the veteran spinner was about to enter the nets. He added that India's veteran spinner hugged him and asked what he has been bowling to the Australians.
While Pithiya has only just started his journey in first-class cricket, he'd be hoping to emulate his idol in the coming years. For now, he's the duplicate who the Australians are hoping can help them prepare for the big challenge.

IND vs AUS: 'Ready to bat in middle-order if team wants' - KL Rahul

With less than 48 hours to go for the first #INDvAUS Test, India remain tight-lipped about their playing combination.

Check out what KL Rahul said about Shubman Gill's inclusion, India's 3-spinner strategy and more.

With less than 48 hours to go for the first Test, vice-captain KL Rahul refused to spill the beans on India's Playing XI.

&nbsp;"We still haven't decided on the final playing XI. It's going to be a really tough decision. There are guys who have performed exceedingly well and there are a few spots open. There are a few discussions going on," - That's what Indian vice-captain KL Rahul said when he was asked whether Shubman Gill will play in the middle-order in the first Test.
With less than 48 hours to go for the Nagpur match, India remain tight-lipped about their playing combination.
When asked whether the pitch that Steve Smith described as 'pretty dry' will see India go in with 3 spinners, Rahul said there will be a temptation to play 3 spinners but they'll have to wait for the first day of the match to see how the wicket looks and then decide on their XI.
The 30-year-old also said that he is "ready to bat in the middle-order if the team wants."

The Premier League has charged reigning Champions Manchester City with more than 100 alleged breaches of its financial rules.

Points deductions, Pep Guardiola to leave? Worst case scenario for Manchester City

Pep Guardiola to end his tenure at the Etihad?
Points deduction or relegation?

Football finance expert answers what's the worst-case scenario for Manchester City.

#ManCity #EPL

The Premier League has charged reigning Champions Manchester City with more than 100 alleged breaches of its financial rules.

According to football finance expert Kieran Maguire, manager Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City if the club were found guilty of breaking the English Premier League's financial fair play rules.
Following a four-year investigation, City were charged on Monday with over 100 breaches of the league's financial rules between 2009 and 2018.
Kieran Maguire - a senior teacher in accountancy at Liverpool University - thinks Guardiola would end his seven-year tenure at Etihad Stadium "within 24 hours" if the club are found guilty.
Maguire is also of the opinion that some of City's Premier League rivals would be in a favour of a points deduction, which would harm the club's Premier League title hopes and could jeopardise their place in future Champions League seasons.
