The science underlying Hardik Pandya's trademark no-look sixes and his bent bat

The science underlying Hardik Pandya's trademark no-look sixes and his bent bat

When Hardik Pandya knocks his signature no-look sixes, he does so with a casual demeanor; his timing, skill, and power make it appear effortless. His front-curved bat, a novel invention that has been around for a while but has mostly gone unnoticed, helps the star clear the rope.The groundbreaking "bat tweak" started in the 1990s when Sachin Tendulkar asked his bat manufacturer a question. He had seen that after a while of use, his bats would have a wonderful sweet spot—the wood would get compressed, giving the willow a "good dent." Tendulkar said, "Is it possible to have a readymade sweet spot?" The bats were no longer flat as a cutting board, and the response was "yes." They were convex as well.Hardik is a leading contender in the arms battle among six-hitters thanks to his abilities, conditioning, and bat. His bat has about 200 percent more curve than the competition, according to Sanspareils Greenlands (SG), a manufacturer based in Meerut.Hardik has two requirements: the ball must strike the sweet point of the curve and take off at the exact angle that will allow it to travel the furthest. As an SG engineer notes, it's all about the physics. The ball must take off from the bat at a 45-degree angle in order for its trajectory to form a perfect parabola in the air and travel the farthest. The batsman has a better chance of obtaining the perfect angle when the willow is bent.The throwing wedge on golf clubs has an angle that provides elevation. With the curve's assistance, we were able to provide an excellent angle. When struck with the proper force at a 45-degree angle, it travels over 90 meters. Here, that is the science. The ball is lofted by the curve. Anand remarked, "Hardik worked that out."To illustrate the workings of their Arc series bat, the SG engineers draw schematics on their notebooks and use 3D animation on their laptops. Few are longtime employees who have worked at the company for more than ten years and are unwilling to be identified. They are assets that the business cannot afford to lose or identify in a highly competitive market. One may comprehend why T20 cricket has turned into a batsman's game just listening to them. They discuss how the bat's surface lengthens and the sweet spot enlarges as the curve's degree increases.In comparison to a flat bat, a bat with a longitudinal curve has a longer surface if you measure along the curve, such as with a string. The sweet spot or high-performing zone expands as a result of this increased surface area. This implies that even with imperfect timing, the bat has more "forgiving space" to hit the ball accurately. According to a mechanical engineer who serves as Hardik's sounding board, "curving the bat helps increase the area where you get powerful, clean shots."

Axar Patel leads DC to a decisive victory over Rishabh Pant's LSG on a night that contrasts for the captains.

Axar Patel leads DC to a decisive victory over Rishabh Pant's LSG on a night that contrasts for the captains.

Returning to Lucknow for the first time since his unsatisfactory dismissal from the team, KL Rahul ended the game with a spectacular six to go undefeated in a run-chase with a 42-ball 57.On a night full of stories at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium, the Delhi Capitals won by 8 wickets in a 160-run chase, solidifying their status as this season's title contenders. KL Rahul, who is making his first appearance in Lucknow after his unsatisfactory dismissal from the team, ended the game with a spectacular six to go undefeated in a run chase with a 42-ball 57. In the twelfth over of their respective innings, LSG and DC both lost their second wicket. Axar Patel entered when a composed Abishek Porel collapsed. At this point, DC was only under a little pressure to take a few wickets, but it might have grown complicated because new batters take time to get comfortable. With two sixes over the midwicket zone, his favorite hit against spin, Axar took out Ravi Bishnoi in the very next over after Avesh Khan had dismissed him after four dot balls.In the following over, facing Avesh once more after being outscored by a few deliveries, he decided to take a chance and hit a four to try to clear the fielder at mid-off. The most impressive stroke came from Shardul Thakur, who took up a not-so-short ball with the weight still on his backfoot and sent it over long on for a six.

Greatness of Virat Kohli Has Been Reduced

Greatness of Virat Kohli Has Been Reduced": Harbhajan Singhs Huge IPL 2024 Warning

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in this city continues to be a peak that the Royal Challengers Bangalore hitter has yet to reach for the relentless run machine that is Virat Kohli. Kohli has amassed 7263 runs from 237 matches, seven hundreds, and a strike average of 130, setting him apart from the other players in the IPL. However, at the Chepauk, where he averages just thirty and has a strike-rate of eleven1, that dominance wanes. In light of this, former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh stated that Kohli must put up a stronger effort when RCB takes on the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings in the opening IPL game of the season on March 22 at the Chepauk.In terms of his overall performance at that location, Virat's greatness has diminished. It's a challenging place to bat, particularly when you're the opening batsman up against a strange bounce similar to a tennis ball.The legendary Ravindra Jadeja bowls stump to stump for them (CSK). He's going to turn the oddball, then make it stay low. It's quite difficult," Harbhajan stated to Star Sports. In fact, Harbhajan stated that Kohli will need to find a way to bat longer because the star batsman has been out of the game three times in his last five innings against CSK due to Power Plays.A match-winning performance is possible if he is truly ready to bat for roughly 20 overs, as two hundreds at the easily accessible Chinnaswamy do not always translate to the same at Chepauk "said the man. Kohli has a mediocre record against the Super Kings and has yet to score an IPL century at Chepauk. In 30 games, the 35-year-old has amassed 985 runs against CSK, with a career-high of 90.The former CSK player Harbhajan stated that in order for RCB to have a genuine chance of winning the elusive IPL title, Kohli needed to get back to his 2016 form. "It is crucial that he has a season similar to 2016 because the team will advance if Virat continues to score runs. I'm not sure if they'll end up winning the cup. "But I think they have a lot of good batting because of the brilliant players they have on the team, including Virat, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, and a few others like Patidar. and everybody hopes Virat can repeat his success from 2016," he continued.

Mohun Bagan Wins 3-1 Against East Bengal to Secure ISL Playoff Spot

Mohun Bagan Wins 3-1 Against East Bengal to Secure ISL Playoff Spot

At the Salt Lake Stadium on Sunday, Mohun Bagan defeated their bitter rivals 3-1 in their Indian Super League return leg thanks to one of their best performances of the year. After Cleiton Silva's missed penalty kick in the 14th minute, Mohun Bagan scored three goals in as many minutes through goals from Jason Cummings (27th), Liston Colaco (36th), and Dimitri Petratos (45' penalty). This gave Mohun Bagan a 3-0 lead at the half. East Bengal pulled one back through a goal from Saul Crespo (53rd), his first-ever ISL goal, but Mohun Bagan were back to their best and made sure there would be no more slippage to preserve the 3-1 score. With the victory, Mohun Bagan moved up to the playoff spot and past Mumbai City in the standings based on goal differential. With one game remaining, Mohun Bagan remains the clear favorite for the Shield despite the fact that both teams now have 36 points apiece. East Bengal has lost and is no longer in the play-off race. In the eighth minute, Petratos found an unmarked Cummings with a cross from the left, giving Mohun Bagan an early chance, but Cummings' header went wide. East Bengal was given a penalty in the thirteenth minute after Cleiton, who had the ball, was tripped by Vishal Kaith. In the end, though, Kaith made a stunning save by extending to his left in order to preserve the Cleiton spotkick.Suddenly, Cummings found himself in a position to score from the edge of the box after the goalkeeper of East Bengal gave a rebound, giving Mohun Bagan the much-needed lead. Before Sahal took possession, Joni Kauko started the move from the midfield, but an East Bengal defender's mishandle allowed Petratos to get the ball. The Australian attempted to score quickly, but the diving goalkeeper blocked it. Cummings scored with a right-footed strike to the upper left corner after gaining possession of the ball quickly.

Big IPL 2025 Sacrifice Announced by Sanju Samson, Who Will Be Changing His Role To...

Big IPL 2025 Sacrifice Announced by Sanju Samson, Who Will Be Changing His Role To...

The possibility of playing as a fielder has been discussed by Sanju Samson, who was signed by RR for Rs 18 crore.In the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, Sanju Samson, the captain of the Rajasthan Royals (RR), may relinquish his wicketkeeping responsibilities. After being signed by RR for Rs 18 crore, Samson has hinted at the possibility of switching to fielding and handing up the wicketkeeping duties to young Dhruv Jurel. Samson also disclosed that he spoke with Jurel about the same thing, particularly as the latter was eager to hold onto the wickets following his recent promotion to second-choice Test wicketkeeper for India."We believe that Dhruv Jurel should wear the gloves in the IPL given his current status as a Test wicket-keeper, even though I haven't stated this on air. It was a conversation. We'll probably be sharing gloves. As a fielder, I have never captained. That could be difficult. "I understand where you are coming from, Dhruv, and I think you should also keep for a few games as the team's leader," I informed him. Nothing should come before the team, but we'll see how we can work it out. Samson stated in a discussion on Ab de Villiers' YouTube channel that "the team should come first and the individual must be given importance."Earlier this year, during the home series against England, Jurel made his Test debut. But now that Rishabh Pant is fully recovered, Jurel has lost his spot to the seasoned player. Jurel was benched for the matches in Adelaide and Brisbane, but both Pant and Jurel participated in the first Test match against Australia in Perth. You can only listen to the newest music on JioSaavn.com. Unless there is an injury, it is unlikely that Jurel would continue to participate in the series.  

"Why not the same award? Same gold, same pride."The Paralympic champion from India screams foul amid the Manu Bhaker issue.

Archer Harvinder Singh, a gold medallist at the Paralympics, accused the renowned Khel Ratna award of "discriminating" against him by leaving his name off the suggested list. The removal of double Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker from the original list, which only included men's hockey player Hamanpreet Singh and Paralympic gold-winning high jumper Praveen Kumar, has sparked controversy, despite a sports ministry spokesperson attempting to defuse the situation by stating that the list is still pending. Three years after winning the nation's medal in archery at the Tokyo Games, Harvinder, who won India's first-ever Paralympic gold medal in Paris, questioned why different athletes were held to different standards when their accomplishments were same."The Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award was given to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic gold medallists, but what about the Paris 2024 Paralympic gold medallists? Why not the same prize for the same competition, gold, and pride? On X, Singh wrote.  

How India's domestic T20 batting embarked on a six-hitting rampage in 2024

How India's domestic T20 batting embarked on a six-hitting rampage in 2024

In the longer formats, transition appears to be inevitable. Losing the lone ODI series in Sri Lanka for the first time in 27 years; declining Test standards both at home and away. Even though the ICC Champions Trophy is quickly approaching, a number of legendary players are nearing the end of their 50-over careers.India's T20 season had already begun with the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), while the senior squad was finishing up a series in South Africa following their World Cup victory. Most batters learned new techniques and improved their ability to hit big blows, which was the main lesson learned from the 133-match tournament.In 2022, the Impact Sub Rule was introduced in SMAT, which planted the seeds for the tectonic upheaval. One possible explanation is the BCCI's attempt to increase the IPL's entertainment value. Since then, the entire system has embraced the principle, resulting in an astounding increase in scoring rates. The elimination of the Impact Sub rule for the 2024 SMAT didn't slow down the six-hitting rise because muscle memory has started to take over intuition.

An ex-Indian star names-drops Sachin Tendulkar in a massive piece of advice, asking,

An ex-Indian star names-drops Sachin Tendulkar in a massive piece of advice, asking, "Can Virat Kohli Do That?"

In the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane, Virat Kohli's batting woes persisted as the great batsman was once again removed cheaply.In the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane, Virat Kohli's batting woes persisted as the great batsman was once again removed cheaply. When Kohli edged a pitch off Josh Hazlewood to Alex Carey behind the stumps, it was just another example of his struggles with balls beyond the off-stump that ultimately led to his demise. Aakash Chopra, a former hitter for India, feels that given his difficulties against similar deliveries, Kohli ought to have left the ball alone. Chopra added that Kohli could be inspired by Sachin Tendulkar's knock in Sydney, where he did not play a single cover drive in his 241 innings."I recall that Sachin Tendulkar kept going out to deliveries outside the off-stump during the Sydney Test match. Is Virat Kohli capable of that? The former India opener stated on YouTube, "He will have to do that because if he keeps getting out like this, the vulnerability will be exposed even more." Chopra added that while playing against Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, Kohli's difficulties against short-pitch deliveries were once again evident. "You are aware that Kohli is not playing at his best right now. "So, what lies ahead?" he continued. In the meantime, KL Rahul gave tailenders Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep credit for their undefeated 39-run stand for the final wicket that prevented a follow-on in Tuesday's third Test match against Australia.On rain-soaked Day 4 in Brisbane, the pacers gave it their all to save India from a precarious scenario. At stumps, India was 252/9, with Bumrah going undefeated at 10 runs and Akash still undefeated at 27 from 31 balls. India is still 193 runs behind, and the outcome of the game is contingent upon Wednesday's weather. "When the lower order contributes and scores runs, it's fantastic to see. We often talk about that in our meetings, and the bowlers put a lot of effort into improving their batting as well. It's encouraging to see that they could go there and form that small partnership and avoid the follow-on, as it makes a big difference to know that there's aIt was a fantastic contest in the final 30 minutes, when they batted not just the runs they scored but also the spirit they shown to keep the bouncers at bay. I'm glad they were able to play some very entertaining shots. The wickets have a lot of bounce and pace, so it's great to go behind the ball, defend well, leave the ball, and smash some fantastic strokes. Both they and we as a group will feel much more confident as a result," he continued.  

The greatest accomplishment of Ravichandran Ashwin is his ability to consistently win Test cricket matches.

The greatest accomplishment of Ravichandran Ashwin is his ability to consistently win Test cricket matches.

With the most player of the series accolades in Test cricket and the second-highest five-wicket hauls in an innings, Ravichandran grabbed 537 wickets in Test cricket, ranking second only to Anil Kumble as his nation's top wicket-taker.The spiritual quest produced excellent results. He claimed the most player of the series honors in Test cricket, the second-highest five-wicket hauls in an innings, and 537 wickets in Test cricket, ranking him second only to Anil Kumble as his nation's top wicket-taker. He was one of India's greatest match-winners in the longest format, as seen by his strike rate (50) and average (24), which are the best of any Indian spinner in any period. Not to minimize the six hundreds and fourteen half-centuries interspersed with spectacular cover drives, but Ashwin, the match-winning spinner, dominates his fellow supporting cast members. He was maybe the most complete off-spinner India has ever produced, fusing post-modern devilry with traditional virtues and classicism and neo-classicism. While standing in the past, he leaped forward and welcomed the future. The experts were mesmerized by his bowling, which included lovely drift, spectacular drops, and enormous side-spin. He also experimented with action and release points, flicked the ball with his index finger, reverse-flitted the ball, bowled seam-up, and occasionally broke his legs. He disorganized the various batsmen's plans and unpeeled the many layers of spin-bowling.He eliminated the best, including Steve Smith, Joe Root, and Kane Williamson, and bowled to the best. He was the undying kryptonite of a left-hander. Ben Stokes (12), David Warner (11), Alastair Cook (9) and, most notably, his stunning dismissal of Kumar Sangakkara four times in 23 balls during the final series for Sri Lanka were among his bunnies.He was a tribute to all the different types of spinners that India has created. He was as lively as Harbhajan Singh, as stoic as Anil Kumble, and as classical as the legendary quartet. There was artisanship, grit, artistry, and magic. The search for spin bowling's ultimate meaning and purpose, however, was at its core.  

Regarding his relationship with Gukesh, Viswanathan Anand said,

Regarding his relationship with Gukesh, Viswanathan Anand said, "He's a fun guy, laughs a lot… we often sit and discuss chess."

Sometimes even Viswanathan Anand is taken aback. On the chess board, the five-time world champion has witnessed a variety of chaos. However, when the storm clouds begin to build up above the chessboard, there's a peculiar rumble in the air.It was not going to be one of those days on Thursday. Because of this, Anand was only partially watching game 14 of Gukesh vs. Ding Liren's World Chess Championship match at home when everything in the chess world changed in an instant.Ding had made it possible for Gukesh to become the sport's 18th world champion with a single rook move.History can occasionally appear when you least expect it to. such as Thursday. I didn't watch the last game of the 14th World Championship live; I was just kind of sitting around. I thought the match would eventually end in a draw and proceed to tiebreaks the next day. I continued to watch the game. In an interview with The Indian Express, Anand recalled, "But you know how it is, you put your attention into doing something else at home, and you glance at the game occasionally to see what's happening, then you go back to doing something else."Everyone in the sport has been astonished by Gukesh's ascent to the top. Even if chess success occurs considerably earlier than in most other sports, it is nevertheless unprecedented for a youngster to win the world championship. "Being 18 years old is simply an incredible age to win a world championship. His attitude, in my opinion, was ultimately what made him successful. He simply arrived in Singapore prepared to compete in all 14 games. Ding, Gukesh's opponent, appeared to falter occasionally during games. He put in a little too much effort to earn a draw in the fourteenth game. He was still somewhat torn. Gukesh persisted in striving to win every day. And his attitude and persistence paid off in the end," Anand remarked.  

Rohit Sharma hints at playing as the opener in the third Australia Test after taking Gavaskar and Shastri's recommendations.

Rohit Sharma hints at playing as the opener in the third Australia Test after taking Gavaskar and Shastri's recommendations.

Rohit Sharma is expected to return as an opener in the third Test match against Australia, according to hints made during India's training session on Thursday.According to India's training session on Thursday, captain Rohit Sharma is expected to have been influenced by cricket greats Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar. Sharma will be starting as an opener in the third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia. India, having won the first Test in Perth, lost by 10 wickets in the pink ball Test in Adelaide, putting the five-Test series at a 1-1 draw. Brisbane's Gabba will host the start of the third Test match on Saturday. In India's first training session in Brisbane, the out-of-form Rohit, who batted at No. 6 for the country in the second Test, spent a significant amount of time facing the new ball, according to 7news.com.au. Following the second Test on Monday, the squad practiced at the Adelaide Oval after arriving in Brisbane on Wednesday.As Rohit kept himself occupied with slips training, the training session initially suggested that India would persist with their current opening combination of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal for the third Test. The two began in the nets. Shortly after, however, he took Rahul's place in the nets and faced the new ball against Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, and Jasprit Bumrah—something he had not done in the lead-up to the last Test.

Which team will prevail in today's encounter between Australia Women and India Women in the third One-Day International?

In the third ODI, the women of Australia and India will continue their current ODI series. The next match between the two teams will take place on Wednesday, December 11 at the Western Australia Cricket Association Ground in Perth. It is important to remember that the Australian women have already won the series after winning the first two One-Day Internationals.But in their next match against the women of Australia, the Indian women would be hoping for a consoling win. The team is hoping for a better performance in the next match after struggling in the previous two ODIs.The three-match series against the seven-time reigning world champions has been a brutal reality check for India, who have struggled in all three areas—batting, bowling, and fielding. India's fragility was brought to light in the second ODI with a record-breaking 122-run loss. Despite occasional outbursts of brilliance, the batters never really tried to match Australia's 371/8.

Alzarri Joseph, a bowler representing the West Indies, was fined 25% of his match fee for using foul language in a conversation with a match official, a violation of Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct.In the first ODI encounter against Bangladesh, which the hosts won by five wickets, bowler Alzarri Joseph of the West Indies was fined 25% of his match fee for violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct by using foul language in a conversation with a match official. Joseph was judged to have violated "the use of an audible obscenity" in Article 2.3 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel. Additionally, just minutes before the second ODI began, the ICC said in a statement on Tuesday that Joseph had been given one demerit point added to his disciplinary record, which was the first offense in a 24-month period. Before play began on Sunday, Joseph got into a heated argument with the fourth umpire, using derogatory and abusive words when the umpire asked him not to enter the field while wearing spikes.There was no need for a formal hearing because Joseph acknowledged the offense and agreed to the punishment suggested by Jeff Crowe of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees.The accusation came from fourth umpire Gregory Brathwaite, third umpire Asif Yaqoob, and on-field umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Leslie Reifer. Level 1 infractions are punishable by one or two demerit points, a minimum of an official reprimand, and a maximum of 50% of the player's match fee.

At the news conference following the game, Gukesh stated, "Perhaps I had an advantage at one point."Game 9 of the world chess championship finished in a 54-move draw between challenger D Gukesh and holder Ding Liren, leaving little drama on the board.Thursday's game didn't have any incredible turns and turns like the previous several. The evaluation bar could have napped for four hours and then woken up to see that there were just two lone kings remaining on the board after the game ended in a tie."Very accurate play on both of our parts. During the news conference after the game, Gukesh stated, "Perhaps I had an advantage at one point." "A draw can occur when both players play correctly. "This was entirely different from recent games, where players have made mistakes and inaccuracies and momentum has fluctuated greatly. In their YouTube recap videos, former world champions Magnus Carlsen and Vladimir Kramnik have criticized the caliber of play in this world tournament.The current world champion was questioned about if he knew about the criticism and whether it had an impact on him. Yes, I have heard that Gukesh routinely exaggerates his position while I consistently underestimate it. Additionally, I saw someone claim that even though I was winning, I was still playing out draws. I am unaffected by it. They're simply being honest," Ding remarked, grinning sheepishly.  

Farmers' demonstration in real time: tear gas shells fired at the Shambhu border, barricades removed

Farmers' demonstration in real time: tear gas shells fired at the Shambhu border, barricades removed

Live update on farmers' protests: On Friday, December 6, a Punjabi "jatha" (group) of farmers, led by the non-political Samyukta Kisan Morcha and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, intends to march from the Shambhu border to the Delhi Parliament. A legal guarantee of the minimum support price for crops, a debt forgiveness, no increases in power rates, pensions for farmers and agricultural laborers, and justice for those who were harmed in Lakhimpur Kheri in 2021 and during the farmers' protests in 2020–21 are among their demands.Around 1 pm today, the farmers are expected to start their foot procession from the Shambhu border.Section 163 of the BNS, which forbids the unlawful gathering of groups of four or more individuals, has been enforced together with the deployment of enhanced security at the Shambhu border in the Ambala district of Haryana.Farmers and security forces may clash in Haryana if permission to cross the border is denied, as has happened in the past when protests were put down on February 13 and February 21 of this year. The farmers have stated that they had notified the relevant authorities about their plan in advance, but the police have asserted that the farmers did not seek prior permission prior to the protest.Important points: With security troops stationed at the Singhu border, Delhi police have prepared for the farmers' protest and are "ready to tackle any situation," a representative told PTI. One of the farmers' protest leaders, Jagjit Singh Dallewal, has been fasting until death for the past ten days near the Khanauri border. In the last ten months, the protesting farmer unions have made three attempts to march to the nation's capital. Police and farmers clashed during the first two attempts, which took place on February 13 and 21. Farmers from Uttar Pradesh who had been demonstrating against government land purchases between 1997 and 2008 in Gautam Buddha Nagar for more than ten days earlier this week called off their protests after receiving promises.

Cricket Australia is prepared to combat racism and stop an incident similar to that of Mohammed Siraj during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The man behind Cricket Australia's Multicultural Action Plan, Michael Napper, outlines the steps they have taken to educate immigrants about Australian culture and recruit students from the subcontinent to attend all kinds of cricket matches.A local cricket fan was carrying a banner that said, "Benson & Hedges Final: Bus Drivers versus Tram Conductors," during the Benson & Hedges World Championship of Cricket final match between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. During 2020–21, a group of Australian spectators threw a string of racist epithets at India pacer Mohammed Siraj, including "Brown Dog" and "Big Monkey." Cricket Australia created the Multicultural Action Plan with the express purpose of combating racism.First and foremost, I believe we must recognize that racism is still there in society and hasn't disappeared. It remains. And regrettably, it will be there for a while," Michael Napper, the creator of Cricket Australia's program to interact with multicultural audiences, told The Indian Express from Melbourne."We understand that something shouldn't exist in sports. And it should simply be a location where everyone is welcome to join in the celebration. Therefore, I fervently hope that we have gotten past all of those notorious occurrences," he says. Napper outlines the plan they have created to guarantee that racism has no place in Australian cricket at any level. There would be measures to guarantee that a fair procedure is followed, whether at the highest level or at the grassroots level.  

World Chess Championship: ‘Mistake after Mistake’ – how ex-world champions described level of play in Ding Liren-Gukesh clash

World Chess Championship: ‘Mistake after Mistake’ – how ex-world champions described level of play in Ding Liren-Gukesh clash

The match between Ding Liren, the current FIDE world chess champion, and D Gukesh, the challenger, got underway quickly. The Chinese grandmaster won the first game before letting his opponent tie the score in the third. After three straight draws, both players are tied with three points apiece going into Tuesday's Game 7.However, the caliber of play in the title matchup thus far has left former world champions Magnus Carlsen and Vladimir Kramnik feeling let down.To be honest, I am somewhat dissatisfied with today's game (Game 6). Even Game 5 wasn't very good, but today's play was incredibly poor from both players, especially for a professional. During his analysis of game 6 on his YouTube channel, former world champion Kramnik blasted, "It's a very disappointing level.""This game is really weird. Both players were making strategic errors one after the other. As though they don't understand the role. I may be outdated, but it's quite simple! They're excellent calculators and players, of course. They have amazing math skills. However, I anticipate a world championship match to be a little more, like an exchange of ideas! Human ideas, human play! I would much prefer watch a chess engines world championship if I wanted to appreciate chess as merely a computation game!  

Is Rohit Sharma's position at number four in this pink ball practice game a sign that he will bat lower in Adelaide?

Is Rohit Sharma's position at number four in this pink ball practice game a sign that he will bat lower in Adelaide?

IND vs. AUS: Since KL Rahul batted as brilliantly as he did in the first Test, there has been discussion about Rohit Sharma's batting position. If Rohit had been in a more affluent line of work, things could have turned out differently.Rohit Sharma didn’t open, choosing to bat at No.4 in the Prime Minister’s XI pink-ball game at Manuka Oval, generating obvious thoughts about his batting position in the Adelaide Test. After KL Rahul's confident opening batting in both innings of the Perth Test and his mentoring of Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second dig there, it does make sense. Resuming his position that he had created for himself, Shubman Gill batted at three and scored a tidy fifty.Additionally, it enables Rohit, who has been a little too impulsive as an opener in the most recent Test matches, to go into a middle-order position. He chased a ball that was well outside off of Charlie Anderson and edged it to the slips, however he only lasted 11 balls against PM XI. A sizable portion of the audience fled the venue after realizing that Virat Kohli was not on the field and had already left. Prior to Sarfaraz Khan taking over, Rishabh Pant did not bat either. Pant kept for the first half of the PM XI's batting innings.Since Rahul batted as brilliantly as he did in the first Test, there has been discussion about Rohit's batting position.  If Rohit had been in a more affluent line of work, things could have turned out differently. He was the quintessential Test opener when he was at his best, taking no chances, letting a lot of balls get to the 'keeper, and opening up slowly. However, he has recently been a little hurried, attempting to establish his influence over the proceedings as soon as possible. Because he doesn't have to confront the moving pink ball, the middle-order position gives him more breathing room and reduces problems.For India, everything else went really smoothly. To test their batting under the lights, they decided to bowl first after winning the toss. In stark contrast to the afternoon, when it was very flat, the pink ball did move around a little, especially when it was brand-new. Even after they "won," India continued to bat, chasing down the 241-run goal, making the match itself somewhat of a friendly. The game was shortened from 50 overs to 46 due to mid-afternoon rains, and Sam Konstas, the 19-year-old opener who has just gained national recognition and was considered for the Perth Test, hammered an aggressive hundred.
