The Indian No.3 was watchful against his nemesis, Pat Cummins, in the first session but took on Nathan Lyon with his deft footwork. However, the most eye-catching phase of his innings came on either side of the new ball. After lunch, Cheteshwar Pujara came with all guns blazing and took the attack on Cameron Green and Lyon. After the new ball was taken, Pujara hit Cummins for three consecutive boundaries, putting Australia’s pace spearhead under the pump....

England currently finds themselves 2-1 down with one Test left in the series. Following their defeat in Ahmedabad, they are also out of contention for the ICC World Test Championship final.

Things slowed down dramatically for the hosts and Hardik Pandya’s late hits (31* off 21) ensured India had a respectable total on what looked like a sensational batting wicket.

Kohli looked in great nick as he raced away to his 63rd fifty in ODIs in India’s chase of 297 against South Africa, but was dismissed three balls after reaching the landmark. Kohli looked to sweep Shamsi, but got a top-edge that lobbed up for a simple catch for South Africa captain Temba Bavuma.

Rahane and Pujara, who have endured a prolonged lean run with the bat, failed to deliver the goods in the South Africa series as well. Agarwal, who made a bright start to the series, was also found wanting as the series wore on. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakaash Chopra reflected on the reasons behind India’s defeat.

Arshdeep Singh then breathed fire in the second over and scalped three wickets to stun the opposition....

After suffering their biggest loss in T20 Internationals in terms of runs on Wednesday night, India don’t have a lot of time to introspect with just 24 hours separating the two games. It was the kind of day when nothing went right for India who let New Zealand amass 219 before surrendering meekly in the steep chase. Opener Tim Seifert took the Indian bowlers to cleaners with a 43-ball 84 and visitors must have a plan to contain him on Friday....

The pair picked 33 wickets in six ODIs as India marched to a historic maiden bilateral series win on South African soil. With the ODI/T20 strategy moving towards wrist spin, Adams believes India are in an advantageous position if they can keep playing the duo regularly. “If you look at the way cricket has gone in recent times, it has become more in favour of batsmen. So it is great for India that they are able to include both in the same playing eleven," Adams told PTI....

Conservatives had criticized Trump for allegedly siding with Democrats after the president signed the stimulus package on Sunday. Some MAGA supporters claimed that Trump had caved into pressure after he had initially suggested that he wouldn’t sign the package unless it removed “pork” spending for “wasteful” projects. Trump drew further conservative ire when he said that the package should include $2,000 checks for each American adult rather than the $600 allotted, something congressional Democrats had long sought....
