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&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.

As the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/ahmedabad-s-motera-stadium-10-things-you-should-know-1614078140350" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Motera&nbsp;Cricket Stadium</a> in Ahmedabad was renamed to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/motera-cricket-ground-renamed-as-narendra-modi-stadium-1614152030765" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Narendra&nbsp;Modi&nbsp;Stadium</a>, fans started to notice that the stands were named after Reliance and Adani.
While most parts were named after Reliance, the 3 premium stands and one of the pavilion&nbsp;ends were named after Adani.
India will play the 3rd and 4th Tests vs England at this venue, which is also hosting 50% fans.

Apart from the Sports Enclave and Stadium, a sports complex will also be built and the 3 will be equipped to host any international sports event.

At the&nbsp;inauguration of the&nbsp;Narendra Modi Stadium,&nbsp;Home Minister Amit Shah brought up the possibility of India hosting the Olympics. He said that combining the sports complex, enclave and stadium in Ahmedabad, India will be ready to host even the Olympics in just six months. Such has been the size of infrastructure they have created. Shah also said that&nbsp;Ahmedabad will now be known as the Sport City of India. The stadium has 76 corporate boxes, Olympic level swimming pool, indoor academy, four dressing rooms for athletes, food courts and GCA club house.&nbsp;

India Vs England 3rd Test, Motera Stadium: 6 of the last 8 men's Tests in India have been won by the toss-winning side

The pink ball Test in Ahmedabad didn't start off as per India's liking as Virat Kohli lost the toss and England opted to bat first.
Interestingly, Kohli has&nbsp;won just 2 of the last 13 tosses against England. Moreover,&nbsp;6 of the last 8 men's Tests in India have been won by the toss-winning side.&nbsp;
The reason why India was looking for the coin to come down in their favour was the fact that Virat has never lost a Test after winning the toss.&nbsp;

Along with the President, Home Minister Amit&nbsp;Shah, Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports&nbsp;Kiren&nbsp;Rijiju&nbsp;&amp; Gujarat CM Vijay&nbsp;Rupani&nbsp;were also present at Motera&nbsp;stadium which was reconstructed at a cost of ₹800&nbsp;crore.
The world's largest cricket stadium is being promoted as the Sports Capital of the world and many former sports persons were present at the inauguration.
The 1,32,000 capacity facility will only get to host 50% fans due to the Covid-19 restrictions as India hosts England in the 3rd Test which will be a day-night affair.&nbsp;

Tiger Woods has undergone successful surgery to fix his broken leg after the crash in Los&nbsp;Angeles&nbsp;on Tuesday. Woods was rescued&nbsp;from the wreckage of his car by first responders and was rushed to a hospital. In a statement from his team, Woods is now responding to treatment and is conscious. The medical update also confirmed that Woods suffered multiple fractures in his leg and a rod was inserted during the surgery. A number of screws were also put in place to hold his ankle together. The team provided all the necessary medical updates as the surgery and subsequent rehabilitation is likely to keep Tiger out of a golf course for a long time.&nbsp;

The 200 run mountain in cricket was mostly considered impossible till Sachin&nbsp;Tendulkar&nbsp;conquered that peak 11 years ago in Gwalior. Sachin&nbsp;became the first to score 200 runs in ODIs&nbsp;as India thrashed South Africa by 158 runs. In his innings of 200 not out, the master blaster faced 147 deliveries with 25 hits to the fence and 3 over the ropes. Since then, 5 individuals have crossed the 200 run mark with Rohit&nbsp;Sharma leading the pack with a score of 264. While the highest score might be with Rohit, cricket fans will never forget the 200-run knock of Tendulkar&nbsp;which made fans and cricketers believe that 200 was not an impossible individual target to get.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sergio Perez got the chance to drive Red Bull Racing's&nbsp;RB15 for the very first time as the team got down to testing for a 2-day period in Silverstone. Calling the experience a dream come true, Perez focussed on his training and preparations as the team worked hard in the cold and wet conditions at the Silverstone.&nbsp;&nbsp;The 31-year-old from&nbsp;Guadalajara, Mexico has moved to Team Racing Point to Red Bull and will partner Max Verstappen&nbsp;for the Austrian racing side.&nbsp;

Defending Champions Bayern&nbsp;Munich thrashed Italian side Lazio&nbsp;4-1 in the 1st leg of the round of 16 tie in Champions League in Rome. The home advantage didn't matter for Lazio&nbsp;as they could only score once during the game and that too in the 2nd half. For Bayern&nbsp;Munich,&nbsp;Robert Lewandowski&nbsp;became the league's 3rd highest goal&nbsp;scorer with his 9th min strike. 17-year-old Jamal Musiala&nbsp;and Leroy Sane also got on the scoresheet&nbsp;as Lazio&nbsp;also contributed to the scoreline with an own goal. The 4-1 away win gives Bayern&nbsp;a huge advantage ahead of the 2nd leg clash which will be played on 17th March.&nbsp;

Olivier&nbsp;Giroud&nbsp;scored a spectacular&nbsp;overhead goal which powered Chelsea to a crucial 1-0 win over Atletico&nbsp;Madrid. The away win came in Spain which gives the English side advantage ahead of the crucial 2nd leg of the round of 16 tie. After many early chances to score, Thomas Tuchel's men finally got ahead on the scoresheet in the 70th min due to the brilliant goal from Giroud&nbsp;as it remained the only strike of the game. Although the blues have the advantage, they will certainly miss Mason Mount and Jorginho&nbsp;in the 2nd leg as the pair picked up yellow cards in the game on Tuesday night and will be out of action in the return leg due to card accumulation.&nbsp;

Golf legend Tiger Woods was involved in a major car crash in Los Angeles after his vehicle rolled over multiple times.&nbsp; He is reported to be in a surgery after multiple leg injuries sustained due to the accident. According to the LA County Sheriff's department, Woods was rescued from his vehicle by first responders and taken to hospital and his life is not in danger. With 15 Major titles in golf, Tiger has been one of the legends of the game and was rebuilding his career back after a series of back surgeries. In 2009 Woods was involved in another car accident which led to admission of his infidelity and breakdown of his marriage. In 2017, he was arrested for driving under the influence of prescription drugs and was found asleep behind the wheel.

With the final 2 Tests vs England scheduled to be played at the Motera Cricket Stadium, Ahmedabad is coloured with the shades of cricket.

With the final 2 Tests vs England scheduled to be played at the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/ahmedabad-s-motera-stadium-10-things-you-should-know-1614078140350" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Motera&nbsp;Cricket Stadium</a>, Ahmedabad is rolling out the red carpet for the Pink Ball Test.&nbsp;Special arrangements have been made for the inauguration of the largest cricket stadium in the world by&nbsp;the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind.
He&nbsp;will later&nbsp;interact with the players of Indian and England cricket teams. Motera&nbsp;has a capacity of 1.10 lakh spectators but only 50% of tickets have been sold as per <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Covid-19 guidelines</a>.
Clearly, cricketing fever is tightly gripping Gujarat as top cricketers will stay in the city for almost a month.

Former New Zealand&nbsp;cricketer Simon&nbsp;Doull&nbsp;feels that his country has always been overlooked at IPL for second-rate Australians. His jibe came after India's R Ashwin&nbsp;lauded&nbsp;New Zealand's&nbsp;Devon Conway for his blazing performance against Australia in the first T20I, just days after IPL&nbsp;auctions ended where Conway found no buyers. The 29-year-old smashed an unbeaten 99 in only 59 balls.&nbsp;Praising him,&nbsp;Ashwin&nbsp;tweeted Devon Conway is just 4 days late. But Doull&nbsp;felt it did not matter. He went on to compare the selection of players from Australia and New Zealand&nbsp;and said that since IPL&nbsp;started 94 Aussies participated in the lucrative league&nbsp;at a combined 886cr whereas only 31 NZ players were&nbsp;selected at 212 cr.&nbsp;
