Hi there 🤖 👋

India’s chase began strongly as Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag added a century opening stand. But a flurry of wickets put England in the driver’s seat and India were under immense pressure. Mohammad Kaif and Yuvraj Singh rose to the occasion, scoring 87 and 69 respectively, helping India win by 2 wickets with three balls to spare. Sourav Ganguly celebrated the win by taking his shirt off and spinning it wildly while standing at the Lords balcony, something which has become an iconic moment in Indian cricket history....

Romain Grosjean and Mark Webber finished in third and fourth position respectively while Lewis Hamilton was able to manage only a fifth place.

I was watching the sectors times closely. Mark started with a purple sector and Nico and Romain then had a purple sector, but fortunately my last sector was strong enough....

And if there’s one team who is poised to become the first franchise to occupy the vacated throne, it has to be the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks.

This marks a 5th career Masters 1000 quarterfinal for Coric who sets up a quarterfinal against Matthew Ebden....

Rain-affected games can often add spice to cricketing contests. However, there is also a risk of the game getting called off altogether. Should the final be washed out, India and New Zealand will be declared joint-winners of the inaugural World Test Championship. However, the same would act as a dampener for weeks of build-up. So one hopes that the WTC final between the two top-class sides gets a befitting finish....

While speaking with Newsweek, attorney Daniel Wagner, said, “my experience with this building is that it seems that a lot of the structural components in 2015 were corroded, which has been brought to the attention of the board and management but may have fallen on deaf ears.” Wagner continued, “Even as recent as April 2021, significant corrosion of the steel, expansion and cracking of the concrete and breaking of the stucco was observed and the board of the directors was notified accordingly by the residents....

Aptly called ‘The Wall’, P R Sreejesh singlehandedly kept India in contention till the last moment of the championship as he prevented countless blinders and well-placed penalty corners from finding the back of the net....

Each year, at least a couple tight ends inch closer toward the top portions of the draft that was once staunchly reserved for only running backs and wide receivers. Last year, Rob Gronkowski was a late first-round draft pick in many leagues. This year, even after another injury-plagued campaign, he projects as a second rounder. Travis Kelce and Greg Olsen are getting some love in the third round of 2017 drafts, too....
