We are sitting here today and talking openly. I am not that kind of person. I would never be jealous of my own teammates.' 'Even if you were jealous at one point in time, I think it's justified. That is my point, and I will never take it wrong because we are all human. Naturally, it is bound to be like that. Some people believe I retired because Washington Sundar has come. All of this is the perspective of others,' Ashwin said.

(Source: X) Australia came from behind to stun West Indies by three wickets and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match T20I series at the Sabina Park in Kingston on Monday. The architect of the win was debutant and star cricketer from Preity Zinta's Punjab Kings team – Mitchell Owen. The Tasmanian all-rounder making his international debut, smashed a half-century coming into bat at the number six position and also picked up a crucial wicket of Shai Hope when the Windies batter. Owen put on 80 runs for the 5th wicket off just 40 balls with all-rounder Cameron Green, who notched up 51 off 26 balls. Owen was signed up by PBKS for Rs 3 crore as replacement for injured Glenn Maxwell in the IPL 2025 season. He only played in one match, scoring only 0.

He also clobbered the last ball of that over for six. Russell was playing in his second-last international match in his career after deciding to retire after the second T20I game vs Australia. Owen hit three sixes in one over from Akeal Hosein that went for 20 runs and included a dropped catch when he was on 26. He also survived a very narrow miss on 42. Owen was at the non-striker's end and was out of his ground when Cameron Green hit a drive straight back down the pitch and it went through spinner Gudakesh Motie's hands and hit the stumps. After a long delay to check with ultra-edge technology, there was no evidence of any touch from Motie and umpires confirmed Owen was not out.

The Open: Scottie's Irish high! World no. 1 strolls to a fine win along the coast for his 4th major
Scottie Scheffler of the United States kisses the Claret Jug trophy as he poses for photographers after winning the British Open golf championship at the Royal Portrush Golf Club, Northern Ireland, Sunday, July 20, 2025. (AP Photo/Jon Super) Portrush (Northern Ireland): Scottie Scheffler was like a lonely man taking a leisurely walk along the Irish coast on a crisp morning, except that it was at the crowded sun-bathed Royal Portrush late on Sunday evening. Starting the day at 14-under and four clear of the field, he had no problems save that errant bunker shot, which stayed back in the fairway bunker on the eighth hole. He came out with a double bogey, but did not have to sweat much. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! He repaired that damage and ended the day with a 68 after earlier rounds of 64-67-68 for a 17-under total and a four-shot win over Harris English (66) and five clear of Chris Gotterup (67) to make it a 1-2-3 for the Americans. Scheffler's fourth Major brought him his maiden Open and he has now completed three-fourths of his journey to the inevitable Career Slam. Meanwhile, English and Gotterup wrote their unique stories. English for the second time finished runner-up behind Scheffler in a Major this year. This one came despite his regular caddie, Eric Larson, being denied a work visa to enter the UK on account of a past drug related conviction. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A genetic disorder that is damaging his organs.

Then he turned his life around as a caddie. English took on his longtime putting coach Ramon Bescansa as his bagman, who came from over Spain, where he was caddying for Liv golfer, Abraham Ancer. Gotterup, playing alongside English, won the Genesis Scottish Open last week to qualify for the 153rd Open and he made a it a successful first trip across the pond by finishing third. There seemed to be two battles out there at the picturesque Royal Portrush Club. One featured Scottie Scheffler versus Scottie Scheffler and the other featured a dozen others battling for minor places. As English and Gotterup finished second and third, Wyndham Clark (65), Matt Fitzpatrick (69) and Li Haotong (70) were tied fourth. Defending champion Xander Schauffele (68), who moved nicely from 7-under to 10-under by the 12th, stayed alongside Rory McIlroy, who ebbed and flowed through the day. Rory rose from 8-under to 10-under only to fall back to 8-under with a double and then rose again to 10-under at the finish. Completing the trio at tied-seventh was Robert MacIntyre, who again showed his Major promise after a runner-up finish at US Open last month and it was his third Top10 at the Open since his debut at the same Portrush. Bryson DeChambeau (64), the day's best scorer, came back from the brink after Day 2, and was tied-10th. Indian American Akshay Bhatia finished T-30th. IndoBritish Aaron Rai finished T-33rd.
