As Covid-19 cases rise in Mumbai, the Board of&nbsp;Control for Cricket in India or the BCCI is considering having 4 to 5 venues for the upcoming edition of the IPL, news agency PTI&nbsp;reported quoting BCCI sources.
Earlier BCCI&nbsp;officials were discussing hosting this year's IPL&nbsp;in Mumbai&nbsp;itself,&nbsp;which has 4 stadiums- Wankhede, DY Patil, Reliance, and Brabourne. The PTI&nbsp;report quoting BCCI&nbsp;officials said, that it will be risky to have a single-city IPL&nbsp;if there is a steady rise in cases, adding that cities like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Kolkata&nbsp;will be ready to host matches.
The report further said that Ahmedabad&nbsp;will likely host the playoffs and final match of IPL&nbsp;14, which is expected to begin from the 2nd week of April.&nbsp;

Indian all-rounder Yusuf&nbsp;Pathan&nbsp;on Friday announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. The 38-year-old penned an emotional letter, as he ended his 14-year-long international cricket&nbsp;career.
Remembering the day when he first donned the Indian jersey, the&nbsp;Baroda cricketer thanked his teammates and fans and wrote that since childhood his life has only revolved around cricket.
While&nbsp;Pathan&nbsp;was a part of the 2007 T20 and 2011 50-over World Cup-winning squad, he has also won 2 IPL&nbsp;titles&nbsp;for KKR in 2012 and 2014 and one for Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals in 2008.
Yusuf&nbsp;Pathan&nbsp;has played 57 ODIs and 22 T20Is scoring 810 and 236 runs respectively. Yusuf&nbsp;Pathan&nbsp;also has 46 wickets&nbsp;to his name in limited-overs&nbsp;international cricket.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Indian skipper Virat Kohli who guided his side's crucial win at Motera&nbsp;stadium against England has now become the most successful Test captain at home. The 32-year-old surpassed former Indian skipper MS Dhoni's&nbsp;record after India crushed the visitors by 10 wickets on the 2nd day of the 3rd Test. Virat&nbsp;Kohli has now bagged 22 victories out of the 29 Tests he has played as the skipper at home. While India has secured an unassailable&nbsp;lead of 2-1 in the 4 match Test series, the Men in Blue are set to face the English cricketers for the final Test&nbsp;starting 4th March at Motera, Ahmedabad.&nbsp;

After completing a sensational win over England in less than 2 days in the 3rd Test, Team India are now just 1 game away from making it to the World Test Championship final. Team India is in the top spot of the table with 490 points collected and 71%&nbsp;points earned vs points available. New Zealand&nbsp;is in the 2nd spot ahead of Australia and England. With the loss in Ahmedabad, England is completely out of the race and can't possibly qualify for the final. England can spoil India's party if they manage to win the 4th and final Test which will send Australia to the final. For Team India, the equation is simple, they need to either win or draw the 4th Test to book their tickets for the final at the Lords.&nbsp;

Few former cricketers including Kevin Pietersen and Yuvraj Singh feel that pitches like the one in Ahmedabad aren't good for Test cricket

As the Pink-ball Test in Ahmedabad&nbsp;was over within 2 days, many former cricketers criticised the pitch of not being suitable for Test cricket. While former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen&nbsp;tweeted to say that such challenging pitches are fine for one Test but he and the batsmen don't want such pitches anymore. Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh&nbsp;too wasn't very happy with the pitch and questioned if it was good for Test cricket or not. He even went to write that had Anil&nbsp;Kumble and Harbhajan Singh bowled on these kind of wickets they might have bagged a thousand and 800 wickets respectively.&nbsp;

India Vs England, 3rd Test: India finished the game in 842 deliveries, their quickest victory in Test cricket in terms of balls bowled.

It took India less than 2 days to wrap up a clinical win as the hosts crushed England by 10 wickets in Ahmedabad to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the 4-match Test series. India finished the game in 842 deliveries, their quickest victory in Test cricket in terms of balls bowled.
Earlier,&nbsp;the hosts were all out for 145 in the 1st innings as Joe Root claimed his maiden 5-wicket haul in 1st class cricket. India though secured a crucial 33-run lead.
England's 2nd innings ended even before it took off as the visitors were bowled out for mere 81. The 49-run target proved to be a cakewalk for Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma as the openers took India over the finish line without any hiccup.&nbsp;

Axar Patel bamboozled England with figures of 5/32 and claimed his 3rd consecutive 5-wicket haul in just 2 Tests.

Yet another innings and once again Axar Patel made England dance to the tune of his bowling. The local lad bamboozled the visitors with figures of 5/32 and claimed his 3rd consecutive 5-wicket haul. He didn't let the absence of Ravindra Jadeja hurt India one bit and filled his shoes perfectly. Axar didn't just prove to be an ally for Ashwin but went a step further and proved even more threatening. With figures of 11/70 in the Ahmedabad Test, Axar&nbsp;now holds the record of best bowling figures in a pink ball Test.&nbsp;He might have played just 2 Tests, but with 18 wickets already, Axar Patel has become a headache for England.

Ashwin became the fastest overall and 2nd fastest Indian to pick 400 Test wickets in terms of matches

Ravichandran Ashwin isn't just a bowler in the subcontinental conditions, he is a phenomenon. England is getting a first-hand experience of that in the Test series, as the off-spinner once again ran through their batting order in Ahmedabad. During the process, Ashwin became the fastest overall and 2nd fastest Indian&nbsp;to pick 400 Test wickets in terms of matches. While&nbsp;Muralitharan achieved the feat in 72 Tests, Ashwin took just 5 games more. What makes this milestone grander is the fact that only 3 other Indians in the history of Test cricket have claimed over 400 wickets in the longest format.&nbsp;

India lost last 7 wickets for just 31 runs and went from 99/3 to being all out for 145 in the 1st innings.

Day 2 of the 3rd Test started off on a dramatic note as England gave India a taste of their own medicine in Ahmedabad. England&nbsp;spinners asked questions on a bowling friendly track, to which Indian batsmen had no answers. The hosts lost last 7 wickets for just 31 runs and went from 99/3 to being all out for 145 in the 1st innings. Joe Root claimed his maiden 5-wicket haul in 1st class cricket which proved to be the cheapest 5-fer in Tests.&nbsp;A little fightback from Ashwin and Ishant towards the end though helped India secure a crucial 33-run lead.&nbsp;

Prithvi Shaw who was dropped from Team India owing to a poor run with the bat has slammed a record-breaking double century for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare

Prithvi&nbsp;Shaw who was dropped from Team India owing to a poor run with the bat has slammed a record-breaking double century for Mumbai in the Vijay&nbsp;Hazare&nbsp;Trophy vs Puducherry. Shaw slammed 227* off 152 deliveries which is the highest individual score in the&nbsp;Vijay&nbsp;Hazare&nbsp;trophy. Mumbai's total of 457/4 is also the highest team total in the competition's history. Shaw smashed 31 fours and 5 sixes as he decimated Puducherry's&nbsp;bowlers. Along with Shaw, Suryakumar&nbsp;Yadav who has got his maiden Team India call-up smashed 133 off 58 balls.&nbsp; A total of 62 fours and 11 sixes were hit in the match in Jaipur&nbsp;which makes it 314 scored off just boundaries.&nbsp;

English cricketers after Day 1 of the Ahmedabad&nbsp;Test have asked for consistency by the umpires. The two local umpires in the form of Nitin&nbsp;Menon&nbsp;&amp; Anil&nbsp;Chaudhary&nbsp;&amp; the TV umpire Chettithody Shamshuddin are under fire after the visiting side showed displeasure over some decisions. A spokesperson of the English cricket management said that both decisions involving Shubman&nbsp;Gill's dubious catch by Ben Stokes and Rohit&nbsp;Sharma's stumping were checked from only 1 camera angle and the decision was given instantly. While there is no questioning of the decision, the English party wants the umpires to check multiple angles before arriving at a&nbsp;conclusion.&nbsp;

Lionel Messi&nbsp;once again carried Barcelona to a comfortable 3-0 win over Elche in La Liga on Wednesday night. His&nbsp;brace was cushioned by a late strike from Jordi&nbsp;Alba as Elche&nbsp;failed to brach the Catalan defense in the game. The 3-0 win helps Barcelona climb to the 3rd spot in the points table with 50 points. They are 2 points behind Real Madrid and 5 behind Atletico&nbsp;Madrid who have played a game less.&nbsp;

Twin strikes from Bernardo Silva in the first half followed by Gabriel Jesus in the 2nd were enough for Manchester City as they dominated their game agai

Twin strikes from&nbsp;Bernardo Silva&nbsp;in the first half followed by&nbsp;Gabriel Jesus in the 2nd were enough for Manchester City as they dominated their game against&nbsp;Borussia Monchengladbach&nbsp;in the 1st leg of the round of 16 tie in the Champions League. City had complete control over the game and didn't allow the German side to score. Along with defending Champions Bayern&nbsp;Munich, City is touted as the favourites to win the Champions League. The return leg of the tie will be played on 16th March when&nbsp;Borussia Monchengladbach&nbsp;travel to Manchester.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Real Madrid were almost embarrassed on Wednesday night in their 1st leg of the round of 16 tie in the Champions League against Atalanta. After being reduced to 10-men, the Italian side fought hard and prevented the Spanish giants from scoring. It looked like the 13-time winners&nbsp;would be forced into a draw but a late winner from&nbsp;Ferland Mendy&nbsp;sealed the night for Zinedine&nbsp;Zidane's&nbsp;men. This was also Mendy's&nbsp;first goal in the Champions League as Real Madrid scored a crucial away goal in their 1-0 win.&nbsp;

It may have been just the opening day of the all-crucial pink ball Test, but the match is pacing really quickly. England's decision to bat first backfired as the visitors were bowled out for just 112 in the 1st innings. Axar&nbsp;Patel and Ravichandran&nbsp;Ashwin&nbsp;ran through them with 6 and 4 wickets respectively. Indian openers had a watchful start before Shubman&nbsp;Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara&nbsp;fell within a span of 1 run as the hosts were reduced to 34/2. Rohit&nbsp;Sharma carried on and scored a swift half century and is unbeaten on 57. He though lost Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;towards the end of the day as he fell for 27. Though India ended day 1 at 99/3, they trail England by just 13 runs.

Axar claimed his 2nd 5-wicket haul in as many Tests to become only the 3rd India to achieve that feat in both of their first two Test matches.

Axar Patel might be playing just his 2nd Test, but he has already become a headache for England. The spinner picked up his 2nd 5-wicket haul in as many Tests to become only the 3rd India to achieve that feat&nbsp;in both of their first two Test matches.&nbsp;Axar bamboozled England with figures of 6/38 as the visitors were bowled out for a paltry 112 in the 1st innings, their 2nd lowest total in India. Interestingly, 2 of their 3 lowest ever Test scores in India have been in this series.

While most parts were named after Reliance, the 3 premium stands and one of the pavilion ends were named after Adani.
