Showing no mercy on underfire Shakib Al Hasan after Bangladesh's defeat to Team India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, legendary Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag targetted the veteran all-rounder with another explosive statement. Unbeaten Team India, led by skipper Rohit Sharma, outclassed Bangladesh by 50 runs to strengthen their bid for another semi-final berth at the ICC T20 World Cup.

Over the past years, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has become synonymous with the Chennai Super Kings. Since being roped in by the franchise in the inaugural edition of the league in 2008, Dhoni has led the CSK to a joint-record five IPL titles, with the most recent win coming last year. Dhoni, fondly called ‘Thala’ by the CSK fans, is adored by the franchise's loyalists, and in recent years, the loudest cheers and fervent support from CSK supporters have been primarily reserved for their iconic wicketkeeper-batter.
However, former India opener Virender Sehwag has made an interesting revelation on the franchise's picks ahead of the opening season. CSK did successfully bid for Dhoni at the auction, but the former Indian captain was not the side's first choice; Sehwag revealed that VB Chandrashekar, the former India cricketer who was given the responsibility to buy players at CSK, had phone-called him before the auction.

Legendary Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag delivered a brutal verdict on Shakib Al Hasan after Bangladesh slumped to a loss against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday. Chasing a modest target of 114, Bangladesh looked in control before losing the plot completely as the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led side lost the match by 4 runs. Shakib could last just 4 balls as he was dismissed by Anrich Nortje after scoring just 3. Sehwag said that Shakib should have retired from the T20 format long ago and even insisted that his numbers in the shortest format of the game has been 'shameful' lately.

Manu Bhaker on Sunday scripted history as she won India's first medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She secured the bronze medal in the women's 10m air pistol final to end India's 12-year wait for a shooting medal in the Games and become the first-ever markswoman from the country to finish on the podium. Following the historic win, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar shared a stunning message as he led the wishes from the cricket fraternity for Bhaker.
In his incredible post for the bronze medallist, Tendulkar, who overcame many a hurdle in his illustrious career, highlighted Bhaker's redemption story. In 2021, at the Tokyo Games, the 22-year-old was reduced to tears after her pistol malfunctioned during the qualification of the same event. Later in 2023, she almost contemplated retirement, before she fought her way back, secured an Olympic quota and subsequently, a medal.

The former English skipper has recently gone past the 12,000 Test runs mark. It has come against the same team against whom Tendulkar hung up his boots, the West Indies. In the ongoing third Test against WI, Root not only get to his fifty but bailed the hosts out a precarious situation. Chasing the visitors’ 282 score, England were 54-4 and Root kept his wicket intact. When he was at 27, Root went past Brian Lara’s tally of 11,953 runs. And now, the Yorkshireman has breached the 12,000-run mark, thus becoming only the second Englishmen after Alastair Cook and the seventh overall.
