The day began with the sun shining brightly over the Cricket Ground, as cricket fans draped in their respective national colors started pouring into the stadium.
The pre-match buzz was palpable, with fans engaging in friendly banter and passionate discussions about their favorite players and team strategies. TV pundits and analysts were also on the edge of their seats, predicting the outcome of this fierce rivalry.

The India vs. Pakistan clash in the 2023 World Cup will be etched in the memories of cricket fans forever, as it once again proved that cricket transcends boundaries and brings people together in their love for the game.

Then we are! The day you’ve each been staying for. The day that brings two countries to a deadlock. A match that has come a showpiece event in anymulti-team justice event, especially since the cessation of bilateral series between the two sides. It may have been sorrowfully, tragicomically one- sided in India’s favour in the former decade but recent matches between the two brigades have frequently tended to come the humdingers it has always been known to be.

It’s the match that suckers on both sides of the border, and arguably those living far down from it within other borders, set their eyes when the World Cup schedule was blazoned, andre-announced. The ultimate showdown for which hostel tariffs and flight tickets have soared through the roof. For which people are reserving sanitarium beds. It’s the grand spectacle – India vs Pakistan at the World Cup!

The crash took place soon just after the commencement of the rookie race, for which Shreyas had qualified for pole position. While exiting Turn-1, Shreyas suffered the accident and suffered a serious head injury.

Race promoters Madras Motor Sports Club cancelled all the remaining races scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.

Shreyas was born on July 26, 2010 and studied at the Kensri School in Bengaluru. He had won numerous races at the National level. He had one streak in which he won four races in a row, while participating in the rookie category of the Petronas TVS One-Make Championship.

Shreyas was rushed to hospital where he was declared dead on arrival. His father Copparam Hareesh was by his bedside.

“It is tragic to have lost a rider so young and talented. Shreyas, who was making waves with his prodigious racing talent, was provided medical assistance on the spot immediately after the incident and taken to the hospital,” MMSC president Ajit Thomas said.

“Under the circumstances, we have decided to cancel rest of this weekend’s programme. The MMSC offers heart-felt condolences and our thoughts are with his family.”

Shreyas was planning to compete in the MSBK Championship 2023 at Sepang Circuit, Malaysia, in August. He was to represent team CRA Motorsports in the 250cc category (Group B).

Indian motorsport has suffered its second tragedy this year. In January, 59-year-old stalwart KE Kumar lost his life after a crash in the second round of the MRF MMSC FMSCI Indian National Car Racing Championship 2022 at the Madras International Circuit.

Mukesh Kumar’s journey began with his selection in the Test squad, followed by his inclusion in the One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) squads, making it a tour to remember for the young cricketer. His outstanding performances in domestic cricket, where he showcased his versatility as a bowler, earned him a spot in the national team across all formats.

The rare accomplishment of representing India in Test, ODI, and T20I cricket on the same tour was previously achieved by only one other Indian player, making Mukesh Kumar’s achievement even more extraordinary. As he donned the national jersey in each format, cricket fans and experts praised his determination, skill, and dedication to the sport.

Mukesh’s impressive debut performances demonstrated his ability to handle pressure and adapt his game to different formats, leaving a positive impression on the team management and fans alike. His successful transition from domestic to international cricket highlighted the depth of talent in Indian cricket and boded well for the country’s future in the sport.

As the series between West Indies and India progressed, Mukesh Kumar’s presence added an exciting dimension to the Indian squad. His consistent performances with both bat and ball further solidified his place in the team, setting the stage for a promising career at the international level.

The cricketing world eagerly awaited Mukesh Kumar’s future endeavors as he embarked on what seemed to be a promising and illustrious international cricket journey. His achievement not only made him a source of inspiration for aspiring cricketers but also exemplified the relentless pursuit of excellence and the passion for the game that defines the spirit of cricket in India.

Ashwin, who made his Test debut in 2011, had preliminarily dismissed Tagenarine Chanderpaul’s father, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, during Ashwin’s maiden appearance in Test justice.

In a Test match 12 times agone , Ashwin trapped Shivnarine Chanderpaul in front of the lattices in the alternate innings.

Ashwin, who had 474 Test lattices before this match, sailed a brilliant delivery to dismiss Tagenarine Chanderpaul.

Interestingly, the Chanderpauls feature three times in this unique list, as both Shivnarine and Tagenarine were dismissed by Ashwin, while Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc and South African off- incentive Simon Harmer are the other two bowlers who have fulfilled this feat against the Chanderpauls.

The moment Ravi Ashwin created history!

This achievement highlights Ashwin’s skill and thickness as a bowler in Test justice and adds another noteworthy accomplishment to his formerly emotional Test career.

May be it has got to do with Chanderpaul senior’s life as he retired as late as 2015, while his son made his debut in Tests last time.

The other two bowlers to achieve the feat are England each-rounder Ian Botham and Pakistan legend Wasim Akram.

Their feat was also eerily analogous as they dismissed the New Zealand father son brace of Lance and Chris Cairns.

Going into lunch on Day 1 of the opening Test, Ashwin had formerly picked up 699 transnational lattices across formats with 476 of them coming in Tests.

fabulous former India captain MS Dhoni turns 42 and suckers across the country are celebrating the occasion in their own ways. While there are numerous who would choose to memorize some of the great moments the iconic wicketkeeper- batter has been involved in while playing for India and in the Indian Premier League( IPL) with Chennai Super lords( CSK), some have gone a step further in expressing their love and admiration for Dhoni.

Images popped up on the dusk of the special day that showed giant cut- outs of Dhoni in Hyderabad and in Nandigama, Andhra Pradesh. The cut out in Hyderabad is supposedly 52 bases altitudinous while the one in Nandigama is said to be 77 bases altitudinous. While the former features Dhoni in his India jersey, the cut- eschewal Nandigama features him in CSK’s training tackle. There was also a videotape of milk poured over the cutout in Nandigama.

MS Dhoni is extensively rated as one of the topmost Indian captains of all time and one of the most successful captains in the history of limited- overs justice. He’s the only captain to have won all three white- ball events organised by the International Cricket Council( ICC)- the T20 World Cup, the World Cup and the titleholders jewel. He led India to the 2007 T20 World Cup title in what was his first- ever assignment as captain of the platoon. He also came just the alternate Indian after Kapil Dev in 1993 to have led the platoon to the ODI World Cup title in 2011. He also led India to their first outright palm in a titleholders jewel final in 2013. It was technically India’s alternate titleholders jewel title, having participated the crown with Sri Lanka in 2002. Dhoni was also captain when India climbed to the top of the Test rankings for the first time in 2009.

Dhoni is also a defining figure in the history of the IPL. He has been captain of CSK since the initial IPL season and has led the platoon to a record five IPL titles. He concertedly holds the record for utmost title wins as captain in the T20 league with Mumbai Indians’ Rohit Sharma. also, Dhoni has led CSK past the league stage of the event in all but two seasons.

Dhoni is regarded as one of the topmost finishers in the history of limited- overs justice. He played 90 Test matches before suddenly retiring from the format in 2014, scoring 4876 runs with six centuries and 33 fifties at an normal of38.09. His 294 discharges is the loftiest in Test justice by an Indian wicketkeeper and the fifth-loftiest overall, only behind Mark Boucher, Adam Gilchrist, Ian Healy and Rodney Marsh.

In ODIs, he scored 10,773 runs in 350 matches at an normal of50.57 with 10 centuries and 73 half- centuries. Dhoni played 98 T20Is for India, scoring 1617 runs at a strike rate of126.13 with two partial centuries.

The All England Club’s meadows will be the focus of the tennis world over the coming fortnight as the world’s leading players battle opponents and frequently their own cerebral demons.

History is littered with notorious ‘ tennis chokes ’– matches where a player looked in complete control only to be overcome by pressure with the finishing line in sight.

The late Jana Novotna famously exfoliate gashes after her game unravelled in the 1993 Wimbledon final against Steffi Graf when she was poised to win the title, only to be struck by jitters.

Indeed the great Serena Williams wasn’t vulnerable, losing to Czech Karolina Pliskova after leading 5- 1 in the third set of their 2019 Australian Open quarter-final.

Who could forget the 2004 French Open final when Argentines Gaston Gaudio and Guillermo Coria took it in turns to come overwhelmed by tone- mistrustfulness and pressure over five nervy sets, both declining winning positions until Gaudio eventually triumphed.

This time’s Wimbledon will doubtless throw up further exemplifications and no bone should be surprised, according to Katie Mobed, who has helped several British athletes with their internal approach.

She says tennis is the most emotionally grueling sport.

On Saturday, the West Indies formerly again produced a dismal show with the club — 181 all- eschewal in43.5 overs — and Scotland showed no compunctions in knocking off the target to win with seven lattices in hand and6.3 overs to spare and pile up further discredit on the two- time world titleholders.

Matt Cross( 74 not out off 107 balls) and Brendon McMullen( 69 off 106 balls) added 125 for the alternate gate to seal the palm.

Having lost a pivotal hassle in Super Over eliminator to the Netherlands in a Group A match, which followed a loss to Zimbabwe, the West Indies entered the Super Six round with no points and a net run rate which was inferior to the other brigades.

But since they lost to both Zimbabwe and the Netherlands who both good for the Super Six from Group A — the West Indies carried no points further.
