IND vs ENG 5th Test: Mohammed Siraj's bizarre blunder leaves Prasidh Krishna red-faced
Harry Brook has been England's most dangerous presence at the crease so far on Day 4 of the fifth and final Test, pushing India onto the back foot with his aggressive approach. But one moment in particular summed up the dramatic swings in this match and left India pacer Prasidh Krishna red-faced.
In the 35th over of England's chase, Brook top-edged a pull shot off Prasidh and the ball went high into the air. Mohammed Siraj at long leg took the catch cleanly, prompting Prasidh to break into celebration. The pacer stretched his arms out wide in triumph, walking in front of Brook as if the contest had turned.

However, he had missed one crucial detail.
Siraj, in the act of completing the catch, had taken a step back and touched the boundary cushions with his foot and then crossed it altogether.
That meant it wasn't a wicket, but rather, six runs.
Brook, fully aware of the situation, calmly walked back to the crease, while Prasidh's face quickly turned to one of disappointment. His celebration abruptly ended as he realised what had happened. Siraj, too, had his hands on his head in disbelief, visibly frustrated at his misjudgment.
However, things remained jovial between Siraj and Prasidh as the two shared an embrace at lunch.

Connor McDavid Trade Bombshell to the Bruins: NHL insiders say it could guarantee a Stanley Cup win
Insiders call Connor McDavid a 'Stanley Cup cheat code' (Imagn Images) As NHL free agency and trade talks ramp up, one name continues to dominate every rumor mill—Connor McDavid. With his contract situation still unresolved in Edmonton, speculation is heating up across the league. Among the teams linked to the Oilers captain, the Boston Bruins have now entered the conversation—and some local media believe a potential McDavid deal could change everything. Bruins insiders make bold Stanley Cup prediction if Connor McDavid lands in Boston During the August 1 episode of Bruins Beat, reporters Evan Marinofsky and Conor Ryan briefly entertained the fantasy of Connor McDavid wearing a black and gold jersey. Marinofsky tossed out the question, 'What if McDavid ended up with the Bruins?' Ryan's response was immediate and emphatic: 'I mean, they'd win a cup. They would, yeah.' Should Bruins TRADE Pavel Zacha? | Bruins Beat That may sound like a stretch—but Ryan doubled down. Calling McDavid 'the easiest cheat code,' he drew a parallel to another generational athlete: 'I think McDavid is so dominant now that he's kind of like LeBron during his prime, right? Where, like just him alone, you're going to be in the third round if not in the final.' Ryan also acknowledged the financial weight that a McDavid contract would carry—likely in the ballpark of $15.5 to $16 million per year, a new NHL record. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Study Shows Surprising Link Between Aging & your Pillowcase Blissy Learn More Undo Yet he argued that even at that cost, McDavid would be worth every penny. Connor McDavid's uncertain future has the entire NHL holding its breath After another playoff letdown for the Oilers in June, McDavid's long-term commitment to Edmonton has come under question. The 2024 Conn Smythe winner has recorded at least 90 points in all nine of his NHL seasons—yet remains without a Stanley Cup. His contract talks have reportedly stalled, and the league is taking notice. McDavid made his priorities clear in a recent interview: 'Winning is the most important thing… If I feel there's a good window to win here over and over again, then signing is no problem.' That statement leaves the door open for other franchises—like the Bruins—to make their pitch. Whether Boston is a serious contender or just a fan-fueled fantasy, one thing is certain: until McDavid re-signs, the NHL rumor machine won't slow down. Also Read: Connor McDavid to the Maple Leafs?

Rollercoaster ride from local rinks to global podium: Skater boys from Gurgaon shine at Asian championships
Gurgaon: "Jab bacche chalna seekhte hai, inhone skating karni shuru kar di thi (the age at which kids learn how to walk, these two had started skating)," Suman Yadav said of her son Krish (17) and his friend Devansh Sharma (18). With the exception of different schools, Krish and Devansh have been inseparable since childhood. They'd go to practice together and hang out at each other's houses often. It was in 2019 that they stepped into the rink of competitive skating for the first time. The duo, who initially trained in speed skating but shifted to inline hockey due to infrastructure necessities, was selected for the National Sub-Junior Championship that year.

The big break came in 2023, when Krish and Devansh – together once again – were chosen to represent India's under 19 team in inline hockey at the 19th Asian Championship held in China. The team's last-place finish only fueled the teenagers' ambition, and years of practice and dedication paid off this week. The two, along with another Gurgaon resident Kaviin Raghav, were part of India's 16-member team that won the bronze for inline hockey at the 20th Asian Roller Skating Championships, held in South Korea's Jecheon this July. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Knee Pain Keeping You Up at Night? This Trick Could Help Instantly Read More Undo "When we first wore the Indian jersey in 2023, it felt like a dream come true. This medal feels even more special because we came from a place of failure. We worked harder, and finally reached the podium," Devansh, still standing alongside Krish at his house in the city, told TOI. The Indian team, according to the teens, met its toughest opponent in Taiwan at the Asian Roller Skating Championships, but went on to win comfortably with a score of 3-1. The boys then defeated Iran and South Korea before being pitted against China in the match for a bronze. India led 2-1, but the opposition pressed hard. "Krish literally put his body on the line. He took several hits from the puck — he has bruises all over — but he didn't flinch. That medal was earned with blood and grit," Devansh said. Krish added, "This championship was a rollercoaster for all of us. We learned new things and made new friends. This championship was one of the best experiences I have had in my journey till now." Kaviin, the son of two electrical engineers who moved to Gurgaon from Tamil Nadu when he was only six months old, said he came into the mix later, but has been close to Devansh and Krish for a decade now. "We have been playing together for 10 years. They are like my brothers, and they really supported me throughout this journey. They have played in three internationals, and as it was my first international (competition), they helped me deal with nervousness and anxiety," he said. On the bronze medal, Kaviin said, "Representing the Indian national team was a proud moment for me. Not only for me, but for my family, my friends and my entire society." The journey to the international stage wasn't easy for either. "We began practising in basketball courts because there were no proper skating rinks… The first rink we trained at came up in Samaspur village, and later we moved to a better facility at Vivekanand School," Devansh said. Infrastructure wasn't easily available, but the skaters' families rallied behind them. Devansh's grandfather, Colonel RK Sharma (retd), was a constant presence. "He might skip a society meeting or a family function, but he never missed picking up Devansh from practice. He's like a coach, driver and biggest cheerleader -- all rolled into one," said a family friend. Col Sharma said Devansh's father is in the Merchant Navy and his mother works for a corporate firm in the city. "They (parents) are busy with work… I've seen Devansh and Krish's passion up close. I'm proud to support them however I can," the 75-year-old said. India's, and the team's performance in South Korea has enthused the local community, but it has also given them reason to appeal the govt for support. Families say they have spent Rs 5-6 lakh each on training camps, equipment, diets and travel — all from their own pockets. "There's zero financial aid, no infrastructure support and no acknowledgement from the state. These kids have the talent and the drive, but how long can families keep funding everything on their own," questioned Krish's father Narender Yadav, a businessman, said. Krish's mother Suman said the families had even protested outside the then-Haryana sports minister's house in 2019. "We were hopeful things would change with a new govt, but the silence continues," she said. Haryana's current sports minister did not respond to requests for comment till Sunday night. For now, the boys are back to their routines, training harder and dreaming bigger. "We don't want to stop here. We want to win the World Championships for India, maybe even the Olympics, if the sport is introduced someday," said Devansh.

Patrick Mahomes shares sweet field moment with son Bronze after surprise visit from Brittany Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes shares sweet field moment with son Bronze after surprise visit from Brittany Mahomes (Image Via X) Patrick Mahomes , the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, returned to training camp in late July 2025. Right as things heated up with football, a sweet surprise arrived. For many, it's not usual during the season but this moment caught attention. His wife Brittany Mahomes made a surprise visit to see him at practice. That special gesture brought smiles and family togetherness right when football was back in the spotlight. Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes bring the kids Brittany Mahomes showed up at the Kansas City Chiefs' training facility at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, with Sterling (four-years-old) and Bronze (two-yrs old). Reporters Pete Grathoff and Tammy Ljungblad of the Kansas City Star noted that 'the kids got to see dad at work', a rare treat since 'bring your kids to work day' normally falls during NFL offseason and doesn't often coincide with training camp. Photographer Tammy Ljungblad captured a touching photo of Patrick Mahomes with their young son Bronze on the field. It was a candid, charming moment showing a father at work and a family connecting in between drills. Brittany Mahomes' visit was small but meaningful: a reminder that family stays close even while the season begins.

In mid-July 2025, ESPN surveyed NFL coaches, executives, and scouts, and ranked Patrick Mahomes as the No. 1 quarterback in the league heading into the 2025‑26 season. While Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills came in at No. 2 and Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals at No. 3 in those rankings, Patrick still got about 60 percent of first‑place votes, less than past years, but enough to hold the top spot. Analysts mentioned that although Patrick Mahomes' dominance dipped slightly in percentage of first‑place votes, he continued to lead the NFL in passing categories since 2018. That includes yards, touchdowns, and yards per attempt. One coach remarked that 'tier one quarterbacks are historically good,' and Patrick Mahomes still sits at the peak of that tier going into the new season.
