Usman Khawaja, Australia’s opener, scored a half-century as his team overcame the loss of David Warner early on to defeat a revamped West Indies assault in Adelaide’s day-night Test. On a sluggish but lively Adelaide Oval pitch, Khawaja was mostly trouble-free in the opening session of the game after acting captain Steven Smith decided to bat. In the last over before the dinner break, he completed his 19th Test half-century after surviving an early short-ball barrage from West Indies fast Alzarri Joseph. This allowed him to eclipse 1000 Test runs for the year. As he and Marnus Labuschagne, who struck…

Following his departure from Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has been strongly connected with some of the biggest teams in the world. The 37-year-old striker is now a free agent after the Red Devils made the announcement that he had left the organization with immediate effect. This season, Ronaldo had already been frequently mentioned in connection with leaving Old Trafford, but a candid TV interview with Piers Morgan was the tipping point.

The Verdasco revelation attracted a lot of interest in the tennis world since some said that many players take drugs to assist them focus and concentrate…
England will take a chance on losing in order to win Test matches, as Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes often emphasized. This was confirmed in Rawalpindi. With around 100 overs remaining in the match, provided the light was favorable, the visitors made a valiant declaration of their second innings, requesting Pakistan to chase 342 for victory. Pakistan had reduced their target by 80 runs at the end of another shortened final session, but they had also lost two of their first-innings century players, Abdullah Shafique and Babar Azam, and veteran batter Azhar Ali had to retire hurt after suffering a…
Fans may have feared the worse if Harry Kane failed to score in either of England’s World Cup group games. Instead, as Southgate’s Three Lions prepare for Sunday’s last-16 match against Senegal, the Lions of Teranga, at Al Bayt Stadium, there is a rising sense of hope. Kane, who is only two goals behind Wayne Rooney for most goals scored for a country, has yet to find his footing in Qatar, barely managing a shot on goal. The England captain, who led all scorers at the 2018 World Cup with six goals, has not benefited from a foot injury sustained…

Mishra frequently responds to tweets critical of India or attempts to insult Indians.

With Ravichandran Ashwin becoming the first player to ever “retire out” in the history of the Indian Premier League cricket event, Rajasthan Royals employed a novel strategy in their matchup against Lucknow Super Giants. Rajasthan moved Ashwin up to number six after losing key batsmen Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, and Rassie van der Dussen as they dropped to 67-4 in the tenth over. Riyan Parag, who was regarded as Rajasthan’s finisher, was demoted in favor of Ashwin to aid in his team’s reconstruction.

In this series, stars like Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli will make their comebacks after India was ousted from the T20 World Cup last month. Although the Men in Blue may have lost yet another chance to break their ICC championship drought, another World Cup year is quickly approaching, therefore it’s time to start over. The two biggest talents in Indian cricket, Rohit and Kohli, look at their last opportunity to win the World Cup since they are likely…
A matchup against one of the league’s best teams and its best player should undoubtedly go a long way in persuading the Laker’s front office to end the inactivity that has defined them since the previous trade deadline if they are still compiling data before deciding how or whether to improve this roster. The Lakers play Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night in Milwaukee (who will also reportedly have Khris Middleton back from injury as well). Giannis has consistently outperformed Anthony Davis in their previous encounters, but this is by far the latter’s greatest performance since the…
Cristiano Ronaldo reacted violently to being replaced during Friday’s 2-1 World Cup loss for Portugal against South Korea as his annoyance overcame him once more.

In what is probably going to be his last participation in a significant international competition, Ronaldo is hoping to win the World Cup with Portugal. The 37-year-old scored against Ghana in Portugal’s opening World Cup game but was unable to score against Uruguay and South Korea. Ronaldo was doubtful with regard to his injuries going…
Hip-hop genius Kanye West, who is currently receiving harsh criticism for his slew of antisemitic remarks, has also in the past offended members of the black community. The multiple Grammy winner went to the TMZ newsroom in 2018 and spoke about some contentious topics there. He was spotted discussing his choice to wear the “Make America Great Again” cap. He is a fervent fan of the previous president, Donald Trump. The native of Chicago made a public declaration of love for the 45th US President. West would make a crude remark about slavery while referring to himself as much more…
