New Delhi: Sanju Samson took a brilliant catch to dismiss Devon Conway in the first T20I between India and New Zealand at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Wednesday, January 21. Chasing the 239-target, the Blackcaps got off to a poor start as fast bowler Arshdeep Singh removed Conway for a duck on the second ball of the first over. He bowled a full delivery, and the New Zealand opener was looking to play a cover drive, but got a thick edge. The ball was dying on the keeper, and Sanju moved low to the left and grabbed a one-handed stunner. This was the fourth time in 13 balls that Arshdeep removed Conway in T20Is. After his dismissal, the visitors lost two more wickets as Hardik Pandya removed Rachin Ravindra, and Varun Chakarvarthy dismissed Tim Robinson for 21 runs. The Blackcaps were 54/3 in 7 overs.

The Los Blancos moved to the second position in the standings with five victories in seven matches. The Brazilian international, who was booed by Madrid fans in the recent matches, provided three assists and also scored one goal for his club.

"My last year has been difficult; I haven 't been able to play the way I want, but it 's always important to keep going. I 'm human too. I get upset by what people say, but every two or three days, we have the opportunity to prove ourselves," Vinícius told TNT Brasil.

New Delhi: The five-match T20I series between India and New Zealand begins today at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. The series is crucial for both sides as they look to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup , which is scheduled to begin on February 7 in India and Sri Lanka. New Zealand will enter the T20I series on the back of a significant performance, defeating the Men in Blue 2-1 in the ODI series on Indian soil for the first time in their cricketing history. However, the Blackcaps have struggled against India in the shortest format, failing to win the last four T20I series. Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah are available for the hosts after being rested ahead of the World Cup. Their return massively improves both the batting depth and bowling firepower. Head-to-head record India and New Zealand have played 25 T20I matches against each other. Out of these 25 matches, the Men in Blue have won 14, and the Kiwis have emerged victorious in 10...
New Delhi: New Zealand defeated India by 41 runs in the third ODI at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday, January 18. The Kiwis registered their first-ever ODI series victory in India. Virat Kohli and Harshit Rana played brilliant knocks, but the visitors made a solid comeback to bundle India out for 296 runs in 46 overs. This is the first defeat for India in Indore after winning seven ODI matches. This is also the first time since October 2022 that India lost a home ODI after winning the toss. The Men in Blue registered another unwanted record in the Gautam Gambhir era after losing a Test series to the same opposition in 2024, and then suffering another Test series defeat against South Africa in 2025 at home. The Men in Blue looked in complete control of the chase when Kohli and Harshit Rana were batting in the middle. But the veteran batter fell for 124 runs while the pacer departed for 52, moments after scoring his maiden ODI half-century. Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips smash...
New Delhi: Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez hit back at the club legends Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt after they predicted that the Argentinian 's diminutive stature would lead to striker Erling Haaland manhandling him in the Manchester derby on Saturday. But it didn 't happen in the match as Martinez expertly tackled Haaland brilliantly throughout the game at Old Trafford. Haaland failed to score as Manchester United registered a clinical 2-0 win in the 198th derby. Before the game, Scholes took a dig at Martinez during The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast , saying that Haaland would "throw him in the net" after scoring, while Butt said that the Norwegian striker would "pick Martinez up and run with him". He further added that Haaland would treat him like a "little toddler". 'He can say whatever he wants ': Martinez After the derby, Martinez replied to Scholes’s remarks, saying that he can say whatever he wants. "I told him already, if he wants...
New Delhi: New Zealand 's Daryl Mitchell continued his excellent form against India, notching up his second consecutive ODI hundred in the series decider at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday, January 18. He scored 137 runs off 131 balls with the help of 15 boundaries and three maximums. Mitchell was removed by Mohammed Siraj in the 45th over with a slower delivery as Kuldeep Yadav took a good catch. As Mitchell was walking off the field, Indian batter Virat Kohli, who was standing near the boundary ropes, playfully pushed him off the ground in a moment of pure banter. With his fourth ODI hundred against the Men in Blue, Mitchell equalled Nathan Astle 's record for the joint-most tons by a Kiwi batter in India. He also became the second New Zealand batter with the most ODI centuries against India, just one behind Nathan Astle, who scored five.

New Delhi: Australian Open organisers faced massive backlash on the opening day of the tournament on Sunday as frustrated fans queued for hours at the gates of Melbourne Park, complained for confusion over the sudden suspension of ticket sales. With heightened security at the Australian Open following the Bondi Beach shooting incident in Sydney last month, hundreds of fans gathered outside the venue in hot weather conditions before the event officials paused sales of the cheaper "ground pass" tickets just after the first hour of play due to heavy demand. Ground passes are priced at A$65 ($43) for adults during the day sessions, offering access to the outer courts and are massively popular among fans at the year 's first Grand Slam. Tournament director Craig Tiley also confirmed in the morning that only the expensive tickets to the main showcourts were available for sale, but fans were unaware of it as they queued outside the venue.

New Delhi: Team India will take on New Zealand in the third ODI at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday, December 18. The three-match series is currently levelled at 1-1. Ahead of the final ODI, Indian captain Shubman Gill arrived in Indore with a special water purifier worth Rs 3 lakh. According to an NDTV report, the purifier is capable of purifying even RO and packaged bottled water. Gill has reportedly installed the purifier inside his personal hotel room.
