The young all-rounder from Bengal so far has justified his selection in the playing XI. He made two significant contributions to lift RCB’s middle order after a top-order failure. After a steady 20-ball 27 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Ahmed produced a masterclass on Tuesday, scoring a 26-ball 45, decorated with four boundaries and three sixes. Praising the youngster, Faf du Plessis said that Ahmed can hit the ball long despite having a lean physique....

Saha recently revealed that after India’s series defeat in South Africa, Dravid asked him to consider retiring from international cricket, as he was no longer a part of the team’s plans. The 37-year-old also mentioned BCCI president Sourav Ganguly’s assurances to him, wondering ‘why everything changed so fast’. In the press conference after India beat West Indies by 17 runs in the third T20I on Sunday, the first question Dravid received was about Saha’s remarks....

Appearing on an episode of Real Quick With Mike Swick podcast, the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) patriarch compared the ways Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev operate. Mendez said: Mendez likened the the former UFC champion and the rising lightweight contender to boa constrictors who effortlessly constrict their opponents once they’ve got a hold of them. However, Islam Makhachev is sleeker and more fluid on the ground than Khabib Nurmagomedov, according to the future Hall-of-Fame coach....

Accompanying the game’s announcement was a brilliant cinematic trailer that offered a 6-minute look at the premise of Overwatch and its universe. Some said it was a trailer that resembled Pixar’s own animated works, invoking a feeling very close to “I want to watch more of this.” Blizzard is known for releasing amazing trailers for their games, and Overwatch successfully keeps that trend alive. Now, judging by that trailer (take some time to go re-watch it right now if you want) players may be expecting a full on story mode or campaign that brings all these characters and their stories together; something for people that enjoy single-player experiences....

Also expect the revival of Capture the Flag, the classic FPS game mode that has players running around a map looking for an objective to return back to their base. It’s a simple yet fun mode that the Overwatch developers have been building on over the past few years. It’s going to be interesting to see what they add this time around. On top of all the returning cosmetics, seven brand-new skins have leaked before the event starts....

Pachinko is an epic historical novel that follows four generations of a Korean family in both their home country and Japan, and it is set over the course of several decades. The story mainly follows young girl Sunja from 1910 to 1989, charting her life and the lives of her family as they struggle with racism in Japanese-occupied Korea and Japan. Here is everything you need to know about the novel’s TV adaptation....

“Lindsey Graham, a political parasite with a record of lies and personal betrayals,” the ad begins. “He was barely holding on before becoming Donald Trump’s sycophant. Now he’s despised and desperate. He’s always been weak, but these days, he’s just an embarrassment.” The ad intercuts clips of Graham throughout the years including an April 2017 clip from Fox & Friends in which Graham praised Trump, stating, Keep it up, Donald....

Before the rule change, those who were undergoing crucial life-saving medical treatments, and their caregivers, in the U.S. could qualify for a “deferred action” plan that delayed deportation until they were well or had been fully treated. There are about 1,000 medical-related deferred action applications each year. Last week, some of those who had been accepted into the program began to receive letters telling them they’d be forcefully deported from the country if they did not leave voluntarily within 33 days....

They reached the UEFA Champions League final the subsequent year, defeating the then nine times European champions Real Madrid in the semi-final but were let down by a late Arjen Robben goal in the final against Bayern Munich. Things did not start clicking together in a snap for the club, it needed years of contemplation, adjustments and drudgery to gain back the respect they garnered from the footballing world once upon a time....

Now there is another addition to the trend, joining the likes of Crypt of the NecroDancer and Titan Souls. It comes in the form of Not A Hero, a 2D cover-based shooter from Roll7, the creators of BAFTA-winning indie skateboard title OlliOlli. The developer’s new game, however, is an entirely different beast. Not A Hero tasks players with helping BunnyLord, a human-sized purple rabbit (from the future) in the running for an upcoming election....

PSG are the favourites on paper, given Messi, Neymar and Mbappe have been firing on all cylinders this season. Messi and Mbappe are coming off a prolific 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign in Qatar. Muller heaped praise on the duo but appears unfazed by their threat, sending an ominous message that against Bayern, their exploits could ’take a break'. Speaking at a recent press conference, the German said (via AS):...

Speaking to Sky, Andrews stressed that his government would not be applying for exemptions that allow unvaccinated individuals to ply their trade in the region, despite the federal government’s go-ahead. This suggests unvaccinated players will not be allowed to participate in the 2022 Australian Open even if they agree to quarantine for two weeks. Andrews’ comments come in stark contrast to previous statements made by Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who insisted that unvaccinated individuals should be granted permission to carry out their activities in the region provided they quarantine....

Starr seemed to defend himself on Twitter, clarifying that he was not to be blamed for Brady’s retirement. Star’s message, however, seems to be a response to NFL wives reaching out to him about his very recent dating post. Though the identity isn’t revealed, Star is apparently in a relationship with an NFL player. Star, who last moved to Wyoming, is apparently spending time with his ‘NFL boo’ in the state....

Agassi and his wife Steffi Graf were invited to be part of the 2020 Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, where they spoke at length with noted Indian sports journalist Ayaz Memon. The American began by revealing that Roger Federer’s genius was clear to him right from the first time they locked horns on the tour (Basel 1998). The then 17-year-old Federer got a 6-3, 6-2 beatdown on that day, but showed enough glimpses of his extraordinary talent to leave a lasting impression in Agassi’s mind....

After an initial reprieve, the Serb’s visa was revoked for a second time by Immigration Minister Alex Hawke on Friday following which he was detained. The Federal Court upheld Djokovic’s visa cancelation order on Sunday, ruling that the 20-time Grand Slam winner will have to leave Australia immediately. The ATP said the court’s verdict marks the end of a “deeply regrettable series of events.” It also asserted that more time was needed to “take stock of the facts” and reflect on the situation....

The Sky Blues released their starting lineup for their second Premier League game of the season, and the £100 million-man was named among the substitutes. Despite winning the league in his first year at the club, Grealish was widely considered a disappointment as he struggled to find his best form. He netted only six goals and made four assists in 39 appearances in all competitions, including scoring and assiting just thrice each in the Premier League....

Earlier this week, Delaware’s Sen. Joseph Biden paid a visit to Libya, where he met with Kaddafi and addressed the country’s People’s Congress. Biden praised Kaddafi for his recent moves, but prodded him to make more reforms and move his country toward democracy. But old habits die hard in Arab dictatorships. The “leader of the great Al-Fateh Revolution,” as he is known, still clings steadfastly to the strange ideology contained in his Green Book, a blend of Nasserite socialism, Islamic law and desert folk wisdom....

Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe remains at the top of Real Madrid’s wishlist (via Marca) and is expected to join them for free this summer. Los Blancos supposedly offered €200million for his services last summer, but PSG turned down the amount to keep him for one more season. Barcelona, on the other hand, have rarely been linked with Mbappe. However, if Minguella’s claim is to be believed, the club came mighty close to signing him from Monaco in 2017....

Before a fallout, Punk and Cabana were very close to each other. During the post-All Out media scrum, The Second City Saint took multiple digs at his former friend while speaking to journalists. The former AEW World Champion also took shots at The Elite, which led to a backstage brawl. Since then, CM Punk hasn’t been featured on television and is likely to be done with the company. On the Wednesday night show, Cabana emerged as Chris Jericho’s mystery opponent and unsuccessfully challenged him for the Ring of Honor World Championship....

Earlier today, the Queen Of Harts was a guest on Out of Character with Ryan Satin to talk about her WWE career. During the interview, WrestleMania 37 was brought up, and Natalya made it a point to let the world know just how important her husband Tyson Kidd (real name TJ Wilson) is to WWE behind the scenes. Natalya says Tyson Kidd is a big resource for the WWE Women’s roster Natalya says that Kidd doesn’t want to brag or boast about what he does for the WWE Women’s division, so she’s going to do it for him....
