appeared miffed and took a dig at India's Test captain
Shubman Gill
for missing out on a well-deserved triple century in the second Test against England at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham.
Gill scored a commanding 269 in the first innings but fell 31 runs short of becoming the first Indian to notch up a triple ton in over a decade.
"A player's hunger should never die. Just saying 'I've scored 200' or 'I've made 250' — okay, well played, fine. But I never say 'well played'. That's your job, brother — but why did you get out?" Yograj said.

"Go make 300, then 350, even 400 — those will come too. But you have to try. My attitude is that getting out at any stage is a criminal offence, brother.
How did you get out? Were you tired? Played a shot straight into someone's hands?" he added.
"This player (Shubman) is really good, and maybe every Indian cricketer — all eleven — have come out of his training. So that's a big thing for you, and for Shubman too. The hard work he's put in over the last seven years is finally bearing fruit now," he said.
In the second innings, Gill produced another masterclass, smashing a majestic 161 off just 162 deliveries, helping India declare at 427/6 in 83 overs.

Gill dazzled with his elegant strokeplay, hammering 13 fours and eight sixes in what became his eighth Test century, fifth against England, and third in just his fourth innings as India's Test captain.
With a match aggregate of 430 runs, Gill is now the second-highest run-scorer in a single Test match, behind only England's Graham Gooch (456 runs). He also became the first player in Test history to score both a double century and a 150 in the same match.

hailed Gill's remarkable achievement.
"Well played, star boy. Rewriting history. Onwards and upwards from here. You deserve all of this," Kohli said in his Instagram story.
Gill began the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series with a sublime 147 in the first innings of the first Test at Headingley in Leeds. However, despite his century, India went on to lose that game by five wickets.

Colorado Avalanche add veteran coach Dave Hakstol to revamp power play unit

USA TODAY Sports The Colorado Avalanche have added experience to their coaching staff by hiring former Seattle Kraken and Philadelphia Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol as an assistant coach. The move comes after a disappointing postseason performance on the power play, prompting the team to part ways with assistant Ray Bennett. Hakstol will be tasked with revitalizing a talented unit led by stars like Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar. Dave Hakstol joins Colorado Avalanche staff to improve power play led by Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar Hakstol, 56, brings a wealth of NHL experience to the Avalanche bench. His most recent stint was as the head coach of the Seattle Kraken, where he led the expansion team to the playoffs in 2023 and notably eliminated Colorado in a seven-game first-round series. Prior to that, he coached the Philadelphia Flyers for parts of four seasons, finishing with a record of 134–101–42. The Avalanche struggled mightily on the man advantage in the 2025 postseason, going just 3-for-22 in a seven-game series loss to the Dallas Stars. That underwhelming performance prompted a coaching shakeup, and Hakstol will now be responsible for restructuring the power play. Despite having elite talent in MacKinnon and Makar, Colorado also allowed seven short-handed goals during the series, exposing deeper issues with special teams execution. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Merkur Slots jetzt spielen Merkur24 Undo General manager Chris MacFarland called Hakstol 'a valuable addition' and praised his extensive coaching background, both in the NHL and at the collegiate level, where Hakstol led the University of North Dakota to seven Frozen Four appearances in 11 seasons. A strong fit alongside Jared Bednar's bench Hakstol joins a coaching group led by head coach Jared Bednar and including Nolan Pratt, goaltending coach Jussi Parkkila, and video coach Brett Heimlich. The Avalanche are looking to bounce back after another promising regular season ended early in the playoffs. In addition to his NHL résumé, Hakstol has won two silver medals as an assistant with Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship (2017, 2019), coaching players like MacKinnon and goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood. The hiring of Dave Hakstol signals the Colorado Avalanche's commitment to addressing one of their most glaring postseason weaknesses. With a deep roster and renewed focus on special teams, Colorado will look to make a deeper playoff run in 2025–26 under a more experienced and balanced coaching staff.

"Stone cold killer": Joe Burrow's coach once warned his parents that he could've been a criminal mastermind

Joe Burrow's ice-cold composure had his coach comparing him to Dexter. (Getty Images) Long before Joe Burrow became Joe Cool and started torching NFL defenses with the calm of a heart surgeon, he had already left one adult genuinely shook with how unbothered he was even as a nine-year-old. And we're not talking about some random rec league youth basketball coach, who was also a sociology professor at Ohio University, once told Joe's parents that their son was so emotionally controlled, so laser-focused, he could either be a first responder… or a serial criminal. Joe Burrow gave off 'serial killer vibes' at 9, according to his sociology professor coach 'His blood pressure doesn't change. Thank God he's not using his talents for bad—he could be the next Dexter.' Yes, Dexter. The fictional serial killer. The context behind the quote is just as wild. Joe's team was down late in a game, and he coolly dropped nine points in the final 30 seconds, including seven straight free throws to complete the comeback. While the crowd lost its mind, Joe? Ice cold. No flex. No emotion. Just business. That was the moment his coach, studying human behavior as part of his actual job, realized Joe Burrow was built differently. And maybe a little scarily. We've seen this same demeanor time and again in the NFL, throwing darts in a collapsing pocket, calmly dissecting playoff defenses, walking into Arrowhead and treating it like his backyard. This isn't something Joe Burrow learned. It's just how he's wired. Even his childhood coach could see that 'killer instinct' from day one. 'He is a stone-cold killer,' the coach reportedly added, clearly impressed, but also a little shook. Good thing Joe chose touchdowns, not true crime Thankfully for Cincinnati (and let's be honest, the entire population), Joe Burrow's laser-focused intensity and eerie calmness found a home on the football field not in some Dexter-style double life. Imagine what that level of emotional control could've meant in the wrong hands. It's no surprise, really. Burrow has become known for staying ice-cold under pressure whether it's the national title game or a playoff drive in Arrowhead. But what's chilling is that his now-famous composure was spotted way before he ever threw a football on national TV. A college professor-slash-coach saw that steely stillness in 9-year-old Joe and seriously wondered if he was too calm to be normal. The kid could hit game-winners and walk away like he just took out the trash. No emotion. No heartbeat spike. Just... silence. He didn't just earn the nickname 'Joe Cool' in college, he was born that way. Calm, calculated, and quietly dangerous. And that's exactly what makes him terrifying to play against.
