New Delhi: Shai Hope etched his name in history books with a sensational century in the second ODI between the West Indies and New Zealand in Napier. The WI skipper led from the front and played one of the finest knocks in the history of 50-over cricket to lift the visitors from a precarious position to a strong first-innings total and gave his side hope of levelling the series after a narrow defeat in 1st ODI . Put into bat in a rain-curtailed match that was reduced to a 34-overs-a-side due to heavy downpour, the visiting batting line-up was put to a test by the Kiwi pacers, who pegged the Caribbean side back by picking up wickets at regular intervals. That 's when Hope took matters into his own hands and singlehandedly took West Indies to 247 for 9 in 34 overs. Hope showed remarkable composure and courage to score freely amidst the chaos that ensued at the other end. Hope batted intelligently with the lower order and completed his 19th ODI century and first against New Zealand...

New Delhi: FIFA has been accused of sabotaging plans to manage player welfare issues by consulting with "fake" unions, as per a report in BBC Sport . FIFPro, the world players ' union, revealed that the world governing football body is "creating FIFA-friendly organisations for consultation processes rather than engaging with the recognised football representative bodies". FIFPro accused the world body of using "similar strategies with agents and fans" and called them out over the "concerning pattern". FIFA, on Wednesday, announced a series of measures after conducting a meeting on player welfare in Rabat, Morocco, over the weekend.

New Delhi: Security has been tightened for the visiting Sri Lankan cricket team after the recent militant attack in Islamabad, Pakistan. On a white-ball tour of Pakistan for a three-match ODI series, Sri Lanka have already played one match, which they lost by a narrow margin of six runs on Tuesday at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. According to sources, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who also holds the political post of Federal Minister for Interior, held a meeting with officials of the Sri Lankan team and assured them of foolproof security.

The meeting was held after Pakistan 's military actions in areas inside Afghanistan, which comprise TTP camps. Pakistan 's...
New Delhi: Novak Djokovic has expressed confidence about winning the 25th Grand Slam to script an outright record of most Major singles titles despite being given a "slap from reality in the last couple of years". Djokovic, who holds the record of winning the most singles Grand Slam titles in men 's tennis, is level with Margaret Court 's all-time record of 24 Majors. Still, the landmark title has eluded the Serbian since his win at the US Open 2023 more than two years ago. The emergence of Spain 's Carlos Alcaraz and Italy 's Jannik Sinner has been the biggest roadblock for the former world number one, who has been unable to overcome the challenge presented by the Next-gen superstars in Grand Slam events. Alcaraz and Sinner, the top two players, have split the past eight Major titles between them. The Serbian icon met Sinner and Alcaraz in the semi-finals at three of the four majors this year, but injury and fatigue issues significantly hindered the performances...

New Delhi: Delhi cricket slumped to a historic low on Tuesday after suffering a humbling loss in the Ranji Trophy against a spirited Jammu and Kashmir by seven wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Registering their maiden win against seven-time champions Delhi is a landmark moment for the J&K side. For Delhi, though, it is one of the lowest moments in its rich domestic history. Since 1960, Delhi and J&K have played each other 43 times, and 37 of those games ended in outright wins for the former, but after more than six decades of waiting, the domestic minnows finally broke the duck. Chasing 179, J&K, who needed 124 runs on the final day with eight wickets in hand, lost just one wicket as opener Iqbal (133 not out off 147 balls) and veteran batter Paras Dogra saw their team home without any difficuilties. After defeating the record 42-time Ranji champions Mumbai last season, J&K continued to take big strides with another famous win. It was a collective effort by the team...
