It has been a bit gloomy for Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) after his lukewarm ODI World Cup stint. Though he has been entrusted with the duty to lead the Men in Blue for the IND vs AUS T20I series, that is not the end of it. Furthermore, SKY has been chosen as the skipper of the India team for the IND vs SA T20I series, but the World Number 1 T20I batter has been dropped from the IND vs SA ODI series. It is safe to say that Suryakumar Yadav didn’t have a poor World Cup, but it was not great, so to say. He did play quite a few handy innings but that is not enough for the ODI squad. Critics blamed SKY for a rather lackluster knock in the IND vs AUS World Cup Finals where fans wanted SKY to go all guns blazing to help India post a decent total on the board. With the India Cricket Team’s focus now turning to the shortest format of the game (T20 World Cup fast approaching), SKY has a big role to play. He has been good in the ongoing IND vs AUS T20I series and will look to seal the series with a...

More than the trade deal of Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians, AB de Villiers is perplexed that Gujarat Titans named Shubman Gill as the captain rather than Kane Williamson. De Villiers feel that Williamson, who has a truckload of leadership experience with regards to captaincy, would have been a great choice as captain and allowed Gill to just play freely as the batter. However, GT took a huge punt and named the 25-year-old Indian opener as their new captain. De Villiers thought by not naming Williamson as the captain, GT missed a golden opportunity ahead of the IPL 2024 season. “The minute I saw Kane Williamson’s name as a retained player, I thought there was a fantastic opportunity to give an experienced player who has done it before an opportunity to captain for you. Give Shubman Gill the opportunity just to cement in all the formats in Indian cricket and just to have another good season at the IPL,” De Villiers said on his YouTube Channel. For the uninitiated, Gill does not have...

Jorge Masvidal, the first-ever BMF champion of the UFC, has taken issue with transgender female competitors who go up against cisgender female competitors. The phrase “transgender female” refers to a person who changes from being a cisgender male at birth to a transgender female. On the other hand, a person who identifies as a cisgender female and who was born as one is referred to as a cisgender female. Transgender women have competed against cisgender women in a number of globally recognized sports. There have been some transgender female athletes in women’s MMA, including Fallon Fox and Alana McLaughlin. Jorge Masvidal On UFC Allowing Transgender Athletes to Compete It’s problematic to discuss transgender athletes competing in competitive sports because more and more globally renowned sports have either banned or permitted transgender female athletes to participate. The iKon Fighting Championship mixed martial arts organization and the Gamebred FC bare-knuckle M MA promotio...

However, both of their upgrades went in the opposite direction. McLaren found time with every upgrade they put on, while Aston Martin became slower and slower.
