Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor, Mayweather wins, career record at 50-0

Sports

Floyd Mayweather had to wait till the 10th round before sealing a win via technical knockout against Conor McGregor in their bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, today. McGregor started the bout well and exceeded the pre-bout expectations, putting Mayweather under pressure on many occasions. However, Mayweather’s experience started to show from the seventh round, as he began to dominate proceedings.

Cornering Anil Kumble was a disgraceful act, a blunder by Virat Kohli

Sports

Virat Kohli usually knows exactly where his off stump is. One of the best batsmen in the world at the moment, Kohli prides himself on his exceptional judgment. Apparently, there is an exception to this rule. When Kohli toured England last for a Test series, he endured a rare failure. At first he left the ball poorly, and having stumps and confidence rattled, he then nibbled at everything outside off to be repeatedly caught behind. On his successful trip to England for the Champions Trophy 2017, Kohli's judgment at the crease was spot on; his decisions as skipper were astute; off the field, however, he made the kind of blunder that can only lead to a lifetime of regret. Kohli pole-axed Anil Kumble as coach. To not want to work with someone is reasonable, but the honourable thing to...

‘Losing respect’ for Virat Kohli for sledging, says Ian Healy

Sports

Wicket-keeping great Ian Healy says he is “losing respect” for Indian captain Virat Kohli for his constant sledging of the Australians in the ongoing second cricket Test but other former Aussie players see it differently. Healy said Kohli disrespected Australia and the Indian captain should tone down his trademark on-field aggression. He also said that Kohli’s confrontational attitude is putting pressure on his teammates. Former Australian player Simon Katich, however, offered a totally different assessment. He felt neither side crossed the line while the tension was understandable considering the magnitude of the series between the two top-ranked Test sides.Kohli was on a sledging spree on day two of the second Test in Bangalore.

Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2017 final in jeopardy after Lahore bomb blast

Pakistan, Sports

To decide on the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore as the venue for the Pakistan Super League 2017 final by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was nothing but a message to the various cricket nations across the world that Lahore still has the capability to host high-intensity matches, with the best safety and security. A major blow to those hopes was dealt after Monday night’s Lahore bomb blast, that left at least a reported 15 people, which included top police officers, dead and several injured. The bomb blast, which reportedly has been carried out by a suicide bomber from the Islamist terrorist group ‘Jamaat-ur-Ahrar’, took place outside the Punjab Assembly in Lahore. The shocking terror attack has sent shockwaves across the domestic and international cricketers participating in the o...
