England's Hypocrisy Exposed? Oval Curator, Coach Brendon McCullum Stand Next To The Pitch Day After Gambhir Row
India head coach Gautam Gambhir 's heated altercation with Surrey pitch curator Lee Fortis on Tuesday sparked a major controversy, ahead of the fifth and final Test at The Oval, starting July 31. Fortis spoke rudely to Gambhir's support staff for standing close to the pitch, triggering a strong response from the Indian head coach. According to India's batting coach, Shitanshu Kotak, the curator insisted they remain at least 2.5 metres away from the deck. Gambhir blasted Fortis after the same, saying: "You can't tell us what do" A day after his clash with Gambhir, Fortis has now come under the scanner once again. In a viral picture, Fortis was seen standing close to the pitch, alongside England head coach Brendon McCullum and home team skipper Ben Stokes. Wednesday's open access pitch inspection was in complete contrast to events from the previous day, where the Indian team was denied access to the same. Interestingly, Fortis has been accused of being hostile to visiting teams in the past. According to rumours, he had a similar heated incident with the Indian Women's cricket team when they played the 3rd T20I against England Women at The Oval earlier this month. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak had to step in to defuse the situation, escorting Fortis away while Gambhir continued to argue from a distance. The incident, captured on video, quickly went viral on social media, adding to the tension surrounding the Test series finale. India, trailing 1-2 in the five-match series, arrived in London just a day earlier after a gutsy draw in Manchester. The team was welcomed at a reception hosted by the Indian High Commission, where Gambhir delivered a passionate speech reflecting on the series. The heated exchange is the latest flashpoint in a series filled with emotional flare-ups - from Shubman Gill 's displeasure at England's delayed re-entry at the Lord's, to the standoff at Old Trafford where Ben Stokes and his team bristled after Indian batters refused an early handshake, prioritising their centuries instead. With the series on the line and tempers already flaring, the final Test at The Oval, starting on Thursday, promises to be a charged affair both on and off the field.

Winning in England is always a challenge: Sachin Tendulkar on India Women's triumphs in ODI, T20I series
Mumbai: Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar has complimented the Indian Women's team for winning both the T20I and ODI series on their recent tour of England and said winning in England is always a challenge. India Women won the T20I series 3-2 and then emerged 2-1 winners in the ODI series with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur striking a century in the third and final match. With the team winning both the series in England for the first time, Tendulkar has shared his thoughts on their successful tour of England in the India Cricket Community on Reddit. "Winning in England is always a challenge, and doing it across both T20Is and ODIs speaks volumes about the team's preparation and mindset," said Tendulkar in his post on Reddit. He also noted the performance of the most experienced batters -- Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, as both of them struck hundreds at opposite ends of the series. "Smriti's hundred in the first T20I set the tone early in the tour. Harmanpreet's century in the final ODI built on that momentum. Kranti followed it up beautifully with the ball, picking up six wickets in a pressure situation. Others played their part too, stepping up in key moments across both series," said Tendulkar. The former India captain and the legendary batter said the team will gain a lot of confidence from these performances with the World Cups in the two formats up ahead. "These performances will give the team a lot of confidence going forward. With two World Cups on the horizon, this will be vital for the belief it builds. Well played, Team India," wrote Sachin Tendulkar in his post.

2nd Women's T20I: Jemimah Rodrigues, Amanjot Kaur star in India's 24-run win vs England
Team India (Pic credit: BCCI) BRISTOL: Fighting half-centuries by Jemimah Rodrigues (63, 41b, 9x4, 1x6) and Player of the Match Amanjot Kaur (63 not out, 40b, 9x4, 1-28 in three overs) and their 93-run stand for the fourth wicket in just 55 balls helped the Indian women's team down England by 24 runs in the second match of the T20I series at the Seat Unique Stadium on Tuesday night. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Continuing their fine show, the Indian Women's team thus took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Having beaten the hosts in the first T20I by a record margin of 97 runs, India now have the chance to wrap up a rare T20I series win over England in England and make history when they play the hosts on Friday (July 4) in the third T20I at The Kia Oval in London in a night match. It was the first time that England lost a Women's T20 International at Bristol. Poll Do you think the Indian women's team can win the T20I series against England? Yes, they will win the series No, England will come back It will be a close contest Asked to bat first by the hosts, the Indian Women's team out up a formidable score of 181 for four in 20 overs - the second highest WT20I total at Bristol - which looked highly unlikely when it slumped to 31 for three in the sixth over, as opener Shafali Verma (3), last match's centurion and in-form batter Smriti Mandhana (13) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (1), returning after missing the first match due to a head injury she suffered in the warm-up match, were out cheaply. Smriti Mandhana Post Match Press Conference Playing in her landmark 150th T20I, Mandhana stroked two boundaries in her first four deliveries, making her and Shafali the most successful pair in terms of most runs as an opening partnership in Women's T20Is history. However, the Indian vice-captain succumbed to a brilliant catch by Lauren Bell off Em Arlott. However, Rodrigues and Amanjot, who had only scored 92 runs in 13 T20Is with 41 not out being her highest score, completely changed the complexion of the match, thus bringing alive the sizeable number of Indian supporters in the nearly 15,000 crowd here. After Rodrigues, who stroked a 33-ball half-century, was out in the 15th over, explosive 'keeper-bat Richa Ghosh blasted a quickfire 32 not out (20b, 6x4), adding 57 in an unbeaten fifth wicket partnership in 34 balls, giving the perfect finishing touches to the innings as India plundered 117 in the final 10 overs even as they were 64 for three after 10 overs. During her cameo, Ghosh, playing her 64th T20I, crossed the 1000-run landmark in WT20Is. For England, pacer Lauren Bell was the standout with the ball, taking two for 17 in four overs. India then put in a spirited show with the ball to restrict the England women's team to 157 for seven in 20 overs. Like India, England too suffered a bad collapse at the start of their innings, as they slumped to 17 for three in the fourth over, with Sophia Dunkley (1), the out-of-form Danni Wyatt-Hodge and new skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt (13) all losing their wickets early in the piece. The key wicket of Sciver-Brunt was scalped by Amanjot Kaur, who had the England captain caught at mid-on by her counterpart Harmanpreet Kaur. Wyatt-Hodge ended her run of three successive ducks, but was out for just one when she was caught at mid-off off Deepti Sharma, second time in a row that she had succumbed to Deepti's off-spin. Tammy Beaumont (54, 35b, 8x4, 1x6) and 'keeper-bat Amy Jones (32, 27b, 4x4) added 70 in just 49 balls for the fourth wicket to stage a fightback, but a fine piece of pick up and throw at point by Sneh Rana ended the dangerous-looking partnership. Towards the end, seasoned left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone (35, 23b, 4x4, 1x6) used the long handle, but India had the game in control. Left-arm spinner Shree Charani, who took four for 12 on her T20I debut in the first match, once again produced an outstanding show, returning figures of two for 28 in four overs. After the match, Harmanpreet Kaur and her team gladly posed for pictures with India's Mixed Disability team, which had earlier in the day played a match against its English counterparts at the same venue, losing by seven wickets. Late selection meeting between Gautam Gambhir, Shubman Gill and Ajit Agarkar near pitch? Brief Scores: India 181-4 in 20 overs (Jemimah Rodrigues 63, Amanjot Kaur not out 63, Richa Ghosh 32 not out; Lauren Bell 2-17) beat England 157-7 in 20 overs (Tammy Beaumont 54, Sophie Ecclestone 35, Amy Jones 32; Shree Charani 2-28) by 24 runs.
