2. Kapil Dev – 43 Wickets
India's first World Cup-winning captain, Kapil Dev, was instrumental in India's 1986 series win in England. A crafty swing bowler and a dependable all-rounder, Kapil picked up 43 wickets in 22 innings, showcasing his knack for rising to the occasion in English conditions.

2nd Test: Jaiswal makes 87, Gill unbeaten on 42 as India reach 182/3 at tea
Birmingham: Yashasvi Jaiswal's promising knock ended in him making 87 while captain Shubman Gill showed enormous patience to be unbeaten on 42 as India reached 182/3 in 53 overs at tea on day one of second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test against England at Edgbaston on Wednesday. It was a session where old-fashioned attritional cricket took centrestage, as India made 84 runs in 28 overs. Though Jaiswal fell 13 runs short of his sixth Test hundred, Gill continued to hold fort in his unbeaten 109-ball knock laced with just three boundaries. With Rishabh Pant unbeaten on 14 off 28 balls, India will look to pile more runs, as another session of toil awaits England's bowlers. The second session began with Gill and Jaiswal picking up singles whenever an opportunity came. While Jaiswal got a boundary by slicing over the slips, Gill got his boundaries off edges through gully twice, while being severely tested on playing around his front pad. Woakes continues to test Gill around the middle stump line in the hope of getting him playing across his front pad, but the Indian skipper, batting outside the crease, handled it well with his sturdy forward defence. With Tongue and Bashir coming in, Jaiswal and Gill got a four each as they brought up the fifty-run partnership. But Stokes once again pulled a rabbit out of a hat to get England a vital breakthrough, as Jaiswal tried to cut one away outside off and got a thin edge behind to keeper Jamie Smith, with the England skipper ecstatic in his celebration. While Gill continued to be happy in getting singles on both sides of the wicket, Pant took his time and respected some good bowling coming his way before dancing down the pitch to smack a half-volley from Bashir over long-on for six. The duo knocked off singles in the last two overs before tea break arrived. Brief Scores: India 182/3 in 53 overs (Yashasvi Jaiswal 87, Shubman Gill 42 not out. Rishabh Pant 14*; Brydon Carse 1-26, Ben Stokes 1-33) against England

Ankeet Chavan to coach Mumbai Under-14; Omkar Salvi retained as Ranji coach
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has appointed former left-arm spinner Ankeet Chavan as head coach of Mumbai Under-14 team. Chavan was one of the three Rajasthan Royals players who was banned for life for the alleged spot-fixing in 2013. They were allowed to resume their competitive cricket two years ago after the Indian cricket board had reduced their ban to seven years. Chavan continued to play club cricket in Mumbai for Karnataka Sports Club and later cleared his Level-1 exam as for coaching. 'I'm looking forward to it (on his new assignment). It's a second innings for me and there is always a turn around. I really want to thank MCA for showing faith in me. Coaching was certainly on my mind and I know what challenges it has going ahead. As it's Under-14 cricket I want to work on the basics of players and show them the path so that they can improve their game,' Chavan told The Indian Express. In 2013, the BCCI disciplinary committee had found S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Chavan guilty of spot-fixing in the IPL and had handed them life bans. However in 2015, a Delhi trial court dropped all charges against these players for lack of evidence. However, the BCCI continued to impose a life ban. In June 2021, the BCCI reduced the ban of all cricketers involved in spot fixing scandal to seven years. Chavan played 18 First-Class matches and 20 List A games apart from 13 IPL matches. The MCA announced its appointments of coaches and selectors across age group cricket on Wednesday. The MCA has decided to retain its head coach of the Ranji Trophy team Omkar Salvi for next domestic season. MCA president Ajinkya Naik in a statement said, 'His (Salvi) outstanding leadership and coaching over the past two seasons have played a vital role in the team's strong performances. His ability to bring out the best in players has been exceptional.' On the back of his Ranji Trohpy show, Salvi was appointed as bowling coach of Royal Challengers of Bangalore last season. Sandip Patil will also continue as the chairman of the selection committee.

Manolo Marquez and AIFF part ways mutually; Federation to put out advertisement for head coach role
The Manolo Marquez chapter in Indian national team football ended on a rather anticlimactic note as the All India Football Federation (AIFF) mutually agreed to part ways with the Spaniard on Wednesday. The decision was one of the many taken at the AIFF Executive Committee Meeting today. 'Mr. Marquez did not resign. After discussions with the AIFF, it was mutually agreed that he will not continue as India (men) coach. Accordingly, he was let go,' M. Satyanarayanan, the acting general secretary of the AIFF, told Sportstar. Marquez, who guided Hyderabad FC to the Indian Super League (ISL) title in 2022 and won the Super Cup with FC Goa this year, had succeeded Igor Stimac as India coach a year ago. ALSO READ | AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey: We must evaluate if we had a structured youth development system 10 years ago But he has failed to replicate his club success at the international level. India did not win any competitive match under the Spaniard, despite Sunil Chhetri, India's record goalscorer, coming out of retirement earlier this year. His last match was a 0-1 loss to Hong Kong, India's first competitive defeat to the opponent in 32 years. Marquez was in two minds after the draw with Bangladesh in the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers in March and had eventually made up his mind to move on. However, there were discussions between the AIFF and the coach, with the latter pushing for Marquez to continue. That ultimately hinged his decision on the third round qualifier against Hong Kong on June 10, where the loss acted as his breaking point. The Blue Tigers played eight matches under him, including friendlies, losing thrice and winning just once, a 3-0 victory over the Maldives. FILE PHOTO: Khalid (left), like Marquez, has been a coach in the Indian Super League (ISL) and is the only Indian manager in the league. | Photo Credit: BISWARANJAN ROUT India, which was ranked 99th in the FIFA rankings in July 2023, has now dropped to 127th, with no wins in competitive football since November 2023. The Federation will now put up an advertisement for the vacant position, with Jamshedpur FC head coach Khalid Jamil one of the names expected to be on the shortlist as a replacement. Khalid, like Marquez, has been a coach in the Indian Super League (ISL) and is the only Indian manager in the league. He has taken two ISL sides, Jamshedpur FC and NorthEast United FC, to the ISL Cup semifinals, while the former was the Super Cup runner-up last season. 'Jamshedpur FC has not officially received an offer from AIFF for Khalid, and he has a contract with the club till 2026. If at all such an offer comes, the club will decide then,' a source told Sportstar.
