Arshdeep Asks Siraj To Change Dialogue: 'I Only Believe In Myself And Jassi Bhai'
Siraj made the viral statement after the 2024 T20 World Cup win over South Africa. Bumrah brought India back in the game when the Proteas needed 30 runs off the last five overs to kick off the late steal and end India's 11-year-long wait for an ICC title. Siraj wasn't in the 11 and when asked about his emotions afterwards, remarked, 'I only believe on Jassi bhai, because game-changer player he is, only one guy – Jasprit Bumrah' (sic).

'Shocking' - Magnus Carlsen takes another swipe at World Champion Gukesh
Gukesh lost to R Praggnanandhaa. (Screengrab) A day after having an incredible Rapid event, Classical World Champion Dommaraju Gukesh saw a dramatic freefall on the first day of the Blitz event at the SuperUnited Rapid and Blitz Chess Tournament in Zagreb on Saturday. The 19-year-old managed just 1.5 points from nine rounds in the Blitz event as he lost seven of his nine games. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Gukesh's lone win came against World No. 3 Fabiano Caruana. R Praggnanandhaa, the other Indian in the fray, had a mixed day where he scored 4.5 to slip to fourth in the overall standings with 13.5 points. He ended his day on a high with a win over fellow countryman Gukesh in the ninth (and final) round. Poll Who do you think will win the final day of the SuperUnited Blitz? Magnus Carlsen Jan-Krzysztof Duda R Praggnanandhaa With a score of 7.5/9 on the opening day of the SuperUnited Blitz, Magnus Carlsen has now emerged as the sole leader going into the final day. "Obviously, the score is shocking—and from what I could see, the games weren't very good either," Carlsen said of Gukesh's performance. "The good thing for him is that it could not have gone any worse. It's never easy to have an overnight lead in these tournaments; 4 points over me and 3 over Duda is a lot. "But it doesn't feel like that much when you don't have the experience. So far it's been poor, but hopefully for his sake he can calm down and play with a different attitude tomorrow—because now he doesn't have anything to lose, really." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo Gukesh was at his prime in the rapid section, wherein he won as many as six games, including one against Carlsen, but the Indian was way below par in the blitz, which saw him losing six games on the opening day of the fastest version of the game.

Women's Euro 2025: England becomes first reigning champion to lose an opener
England set a number of unwanted firsts as it began the defense of its Women's European Championship title by losing to France 2-1 on Saturday. Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sandy Baltimore scored two quickfire goals towards the end of the first half as France recorded a ninth straight win and stunned the defending champion. Keira Walsh reduced the deficit three minutes from time but it wasn't enough to prevent England from becoming the first titleholder to lose its opening match at a women's Euros. 'The positive is that I've not seen us like that ... for a while,' England captain Leah Williamson told British broadcaster ITV. 'We hold ourselves to higher standards in individual battles and we improved on that throughout the game, which is good.' The defeat also ended England coach Sarina Wiegman's remarkable flawless record in the competition, after winning 12 out of 12 matches across two tournaments as she steered first the Netherlands to the title and then England. 'We're frustrated because we had such three very good weeks and we trained really well, but that's never a guarantee that of course you win the game,' Wiegman said. 'You have to do things really well and we just didn't get it right at those moments.' The Lionesses next face the Netherlands on Wednesday (July 9, 2025), before taking on Wales in their final group match four days later. The Netherlands beat Wales 3-0 in the early match in Group D. It was a statement victory for France, which — despite being without injured captain Griedge Mbock — was in firm control for most of the match, apart from the opening 15 minutes and a tense finale after Walsh's goal. However, France coach Laurent Bonadei was quick to dismiss any suggestion his team was emerging as one of the favorites 'I won't change my position on our status. At the moment we haven't won anything, we are still challengers with a lot of ambition," he said. "We showed a lot of courage tonight and the ability to compete with a very good team. 'But we just won one match, there are still two left in this group." England got off to a strong start and Lauren James — starting her first match since a hamstring injury at the start of April — almost gave England the lead within 40 seconds with a clever run into the box but fired narrowly over. Alessia Russo thought she gave England the lead in the 16th minute, turning in the rebound after Lauren Hemp's shot was saved but it was ruled out for a tight offside decision on Beth Mead in the buildup. 'No one expected that to be disallowed,' Wiegman said. 'We had to get out of that better, it was a huge surprise that it was disallowed." As England appeared to deflate after that call by the video assistant referee, France grew in ascendancy and broke the deadlock in the 36th. Elise De Almeida won the ball in her own half before surging down the right and threading the ball through to Delphine Cascarino, who put in a low cross for Katoto to tap in at the back post. France doubled its lead just three minutes later. Baltimore mazed her way into the area, close to the byline, and Lucy Bronze inadvertently kept the ball in play with her attempted tackle, allowing the Chelsea forward to curl into the far side of the net. France was almost out of sight at the start of the second half, with Hannah Hampton having to scramble behind her and grab the ball before it crossed the line, after fumbling an effort from Grace Geyoro. England hadn't even had a shot on target before it got back into the game late on. A corner was cleared only to the edge of the area for Walsh to calmly control before firing into the top right corner for only her second international goal. The Lionesses almost completed an improbable comeback in the final minute of stoppage time when France goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin missed her punch and Hemp turned it goalwards but Selma Bacha cleared it off the line. The France players fell to the ground after the final whistle, as if in relief, before Bacha led the celebrations in front of their fans — branding a huge France flag as the supporters waved smaller versions in a sea of blue, white and red.

Were India worried about Bazball? Morne Morkel reflects on visitors' late declaration
Morne Morkel has defended India's decision to go for a late declaration on Day 4 of the Edgbaston Test against England on Saturday, July 5, and said that they weren't worried about England and Bazball. India scored 427 runs in their second innings with Shubman Gill leading the way with 161 runs and useful contributions from Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh India were piling on the runs and setting up a target of 608 for England to chase, many of the fans and pundits felt it was a bit of an overkill in the end, as no team has chased more than 418 in the history of Tests. India did get 16 overs at England and reduced them to 72 for three during this time as the hosts still have a big mountain to climb. ENG vs IND 2nd Test Day 4 Updates But the rain in Birmingham may not be the best friend of the visitors as showers are predicted on Day at the press conference after the day's play on Saturday, Morkel said that the team did have a talk about declaration but felt that it was still a good wicket to bat on. The India bowling coach said that the team wanted to get into a good spot as the weather was something beyond their control."That's a good question. We did speak about it a lot of the day. But I think we see that it's still a good wicket. Even our boys were batting quite comfortably towards the back end at 4 or 5 runs an over. With you having the extra day, I mean, weather, you can't really control that. It was getting us into a comfortable position with the bat, and then, obviously, tonight, have 20-plus overs at them and hopefully gloomy grey skies, and get the two or three wickets, and we got that, which is a bonus for us," said Morkel."So yeah, tomorrow morning that first hour is gonna be crucial. We saw this morning that, you know, if you get the ball in the right area, there was a little bit of assistance and yeah, we just need to be on the money with that tomorrow."Were India worried about Bazball?Morkel was asked if India were worried about the Bazballing England and their intention to chase down any target put in front of them. Morkel refuted the notion and said that if a team scores more than 500-plus runs on the final day, then they deserve to win the No, not really. I think if a team scores 500+ on the final day, then they deserve to win. So, I think it was just a little bit more time. Ideally give an hour, a little bit more than an hour at them tonight, with Day 5 around the corner," said are chasing their first-ever win at Edgbaston on Sunday.- Ends
