IND vs ENG: ‘Gill must have felt shell-shocked' as captain
Former England captain Alastair Cook has said that Shubman Gill was 'I imagine felt shell-shocked' as a captain during England's successful final-day chase in the first Test at Leeds. England chased down 371, 350 of it came on the final day, as Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley pummelled the Indian bowlers. Cook notes that near the end of the game, Gill had taken backseat, letting others to handle the captaincy calls. 'You could see lots of people out on the field making decisions and getting involved with DRS calls, and they got all of those wrong. You can read all the leadership books you like but until you are out there, there is no other feeling like it. I imagine he [Gill] would have felt shell-shocked,' Cook wrote in his column in UK newspaper The Sunday Times. Cook also made a point that Gill slipped up in India's second innings, in the evening of the fourth day's play. 'I think in India's second innings a more established captain might have thought 'we're 340 ahead and five down, let's put some pressure on England'. As it was they were bowled out with a lead of just over 370 anyway, but it might have helped their situation to have attacked a bit more.' He also wrote about how Gill could have tried a few different things in England's second-innings chase. 'I thought Jadeja could have bowled into the rough slightly slower — instead he bowled in the way he might have done in India. I sympathised with the India captain, Shubman Gill, in that fourth innings. I felt India could have tried more things. They could have had a go with a 7-2 offside field or tried bouncer warfare,' Gill wrote. Looking ahead, Cook had couple of suggestions for the playing XI of India for the second Test at Birmingham. 'They might have to leave out either Karun Nair and Sai Sudharsan and play Nitish Kumar Reddy, who can bat and also bowl some phantom seamers, and then they can play Kuldeep Yadav as an extra spinner.' A few days ago, another former England captain Nasser Hussain too had made similar observations on Gill the captain. 'I saw someone finding his way. He [Gill] didn't quite have that on-field aura of Rohit and Virat Kohli. I thought he followed the ball a lot and was reactive rather than proactive,' Hussain said on Sky Sports. 'When Rohit and Kohli captained, you looked down and you immediately knew who was in charge but when I looked down in this game I saw two or three captains, captaincy by committee.'

Wimbledon's youthful buzz: Smelling of teen spirit ahead of the Championships
Jannik Sinner of Italy (AP Photo/Kin Cheung) Before Monday's start to the world's most famous tennis championships, a sense of quiet efficiency settles over Wimbledon . Everything is in place. The landscaping is perfected so that the purple flowers and green creepers show off Wimbledon's iconic colours in just the right blush, even as an Indian summer sun beats down on the grounds. Players and their entourages, mostly dressed in pristine white with a few outliers in all black, move between the practice courts and locker rooms. All around them is an unmistakable sight — the young boys and girls who make up one of Wimbledon's most cherished traditions: the ball boys and girls. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Fondly called the BBGs, they stand out in their famous Ralph Lauren uniforms, which in the official stores retail at eye-watering prices. They are an overwhelming presence at the Championships. Hundreds of young people work through the summer here, manning front desks, merchandise stalls, hospitality venues and the hallowed courts. They chatter away in small groups, go through their drills, roll out and roll in the covers at the uncovered outside courts, practice setting up the net posts and measuring net heights. They bring a vibrant, youthful energy to a tournament where even the biggest stars are barely out of their teens. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like "척추관협착증 통증 때문에 걷기 힘들때"..."비수술치료"로 통증 개선 하세요! ort02a_강남정형외과병원 지금 예약 Undo MLC 2025: Unmukt Chand's road to redemption in America Watched by millions worldwide, the BBGs make their job look effortless during live broadcasts. But behind the scenes, they go through rigorous training to be selected and prepared. Becoming a coveted BBG is fiercely competitive. Around 1,000 kids from local schools and institutions apply each year, but only 250 make the cut. Of these, about 170 are new recruits from the ninth and tenth grades while around 80 return for a second year. The average age is just 15. Many spend two years on the job. It is striking to think that girls were inducted only in 1977 and made their Centre Court debut as late as 1985. On Saturday, the biggest draws for fans at the practice courts were defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. Conveniently for those lucky enough to be there, they trained at two ends of the day. In the morning, Alcaraz hit with Joao Fonseca, the 18-year-old Brazilian star many believe is the next big thing. Inside the red-velvet roped enclosures of the Aorangi Practice Courts, Spanish filled the air as Alcaraz and Fonseca laughed and chatted while drilling forehands, backhands, lobs and serves under the watchful eyes of coaches Juan Carlos Ferrero and Guilherme Teixeira. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? 'I was excited about hitting with him,' Alcaraz later said at a press conference. 'The last time I hit with him was in 2023. He's not an experienced player on grass yet, but his style is aggressive. He loves to hit big forehands and go to the net. I'm sure he will get the level on grass really soon.' Just a few steps away, the contrast in resources is easy to see. Two women players slug it out on the next court with just one coach each, while Alcaraz's practice area buzzes with an entourage of seven or eight. Nearby at the Aorangi Arena, other players focus on strength and mobility. Coco Gauff sharpens her footwork using cones while Alexander Zverev works with resistance bands and others lift medicine balls. The word 'movement' is heard often. Both Alcaraz and Sinner highlight its importance when they speak to the press later in the day. It feels surreal at times to walk the grounds and suddenly realise the player ahead with her trainer is Emma Raducanu or that the wavy-haired blond young man behind you is Zverev. Young kids carrying giant tennis balls have the best chance of collecting treasured autographs, as the players find it impossible to say no to tiny fans. Every few steps, stars pause for selfies with adults or bend down to sign for children. Everything at Wimbledon might look timeless and calm. But underneath it all, the grounds come alive with the energy of these young faces, who make sure every match runs perfectly — all while dreaming, perhaps, of their own Centre Court moments one day. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

India a key beneficiary of global portfolio diversification: Jonathan Schiessl
"The move we are seeing from global and US investors to broaden out their global portfolios to not just be US plus a little bit of other stuff and certainly we are seeing that happening and there is quite a bit of money coming out and searching for homes and EM is certainly benefited from that and India remains a big beneficiary of that," says Jonathan Schiessl , Westminster Asset Management . It is turning out to be a great patch for global equities . I mean, just not Indian equities, S&P 1% away from its all-time high, Nasdaq at an all-time high. The same market in the month of April and when I say same market, equities in the month of April were nervous because of tariff implementation. Is that adjustment over now? Jonathan Schiessl: You are quite right. If you look at where equities are globally and you look at the worries that markets have ingested, it is quite extraordinary really to see where we are. I think what has happened, there is certainly a case of exhaustion with regards to the constant news flow coming out of Washington, the tariffs, what is going on geopolitically in the Middle East, and investors are just for the moment ignoring it. And obviously, as the index is pushing higher, it is sucking in more and more of the bears who are being forced to reallocate back into equities. So, it is difficult, but there are clearly a lot of concerns that still remain out there and then, obviously on top of all that we have got seasonality, usually this is, the latter half of June and the next couple of months seasonally, usually the pretty much the worst part of the year for markets. Which have come back into India, are they a function of just the weakness in the dollar index and do you think it will continue? Jonathan Schiessl: Yes, I mean, if you look at ETF flows , obviously they have been very positive coming into India and into emerging markets as a whole. Certainly, the move we are seeing from global and US investors to broaden out their global portfolios to not just be US plus a little bit of other stuff and certainly we are seeing that happening and there is quite a bit of money coming out and searching for homes and EM is certainly benefited from that and India remains a big beneficiary of that.
