Apart from India's dominating show against Sri Lanka in the first Test in Galle, the one thing that was back on display was Rishabh Pant 's constant chatter behind the stumps. From becoming a weatherman with statements like, " Bhai chalo chalo jaldi, waha se badal bhi aa rahe hain (Brothers, let's get going quickly, clouds are approaching from there)," to egging on the bowlers with one-liners such as, " Phir sabhi milkar talwar chalayenge! (Then we'll all swing the sword together)," Pant just didn't stop. Ajinkya Rahane , who has played with Pant for a long time, said that while it is entertaining, it can sometimes be distracting too. "He is always like this. He is very entertaining. The Sri Lankan players don't understand Hindi, but if you keep talking like this, the batter's focus wavers. You have to focus in the slips and at short leg, and the bowlers start getting angry. If there is an edge and the ball goes by your side, a...

SC Delhi produced a remarkable second-half comeback to defeat debutants FC Raengdai of Manipur 5-1 on Sunday and set up a semi-final clash against Kolkata heavyweights East Bengal in the Durand Cup.

Day 1 of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Galle witnessed a scary moment as KL Rahul 's shot struck Nishan Madushka on the helmet. After winning the toss, India skipper Shubman Gill opted to bat first as the visitors began their 600th Test match. Openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal looked in fine touch and provided India with a solid start. However, during the 10th over, bowled by Prabath Jayasuriya , Rahul's shot crashed into Madushka, leaving players and spectators stunned. On the fifth ball of the over, Rahul attempted a low sweep. Madushka, stationed at short leg, realised he was in trouble and tried to duck, but the ball struck the centre of his helmet. The impact immediately prompted Sri Lanka's team physio to rush onto the field. Seeing Madushka down, Rahul initially hesitated before taking a single, but Jaiswal had already crossed halfway down the pitch, leaving him with no option but to complete the run. Afterward, Rahul immediately went over t...

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has hit out at the hosts' batters following a dismal day one performance against Bangladesh in the ongoing first Test, adding that their early season rustiness meant they were outplayed and outwitted by the visitors' bowling line-up. Australia were bowled out for a paltry 198 after opting to bat first, with Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud tearing through the lineup with figures of 6-55. Now with Bangladesh's lead crossing 150, it meant the focus is back on Australia's shoddy batting performance, where barring Steve Smith (71), no one made a notable contribution. "There was a lot of early-season rustiness, they haven't played for a long time, but you can't excuse some of the technical issues and flaws we saw from the top order in particular. I was surprised Australia actually chose to bat, especially with Bangladesh coming off just 54 in the warm-up game. “The Australian seamers on that wicket yesterday morning would ...
