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.
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": 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
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.

New Zealand versus India How a tiny nation in the southern Pacific consistently outperforms its peers in sports
Despite having a small pool of talent, the nation manages to maximize its resources through careful funding, strategic planning, and first-rate coaching.According to a comedian in a tourist film with former prime minister Jacinda Ardern, it's like a worm in the Tasman Sea or a half-eaten mutton chop in the Pacific. The nation where the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed, and the creators of the egg beater. New Zealand may surprise and confound.There are five million people living in this nation, which has an area of one lakh square miles. Its area is about the same as Uttar Pradesh's, and its population is one-fourth that of Mumbai.However, for many years, their stature and power have not stopped them from succeeding in sports. Its cricket team sent India, a nation of 148 million people, as head coach Gautam Gambhir often claims, to its first series defeat at home on Sunday. It had already defeated them to win the mace for the World Test Championship. New Zealand is the side with the most semi-final appearances in 50-over World Cups. All of them have one lakh registered cricket players in their talent pool. There are four times as many in England, Australia, and India.This is a quintessential example of athletic uniqueness. Or "New Zealand doing New Zealand things," as Daryll Mitchell phrased it. The county's level of achievement in many sports is drastically out of proportion to its population. With 80% of their games won this century, the All Blacks are without a doubt the dominant force in rugby union.SportsCricket NewsIndia vs. New Zealand: How a tiny southern Pacific nation consistently outperforms its peers in sports India vs. New Zealand: How a tiny southern Pacific nation consistently outperforms its peers in sports Despite having a small pool of talent, the nation manages to maximize its resources through careful funding, strategic planning, and first-rate coaching.
Pune Test To mimic Jasprit Bumrah's play at the nets, New Zealand hires a throw-down specialist.
Some of the batsmen from New Zealand signaled their throw-down specialist to toss the ball from a more side-arm position halfway through Wednesday's practice session. One of them said, "A little lower, a little lower, that side." However, the muscular specialist's devoted attempts to mimic Jasprit Bumrah's whip-crack action resulted in crazy, wide balls that pitched halfway down the field. The side-arm joke showed that New Zealand batsmen are also afraid of Bumrah, even on a possible turner when India's group of spinners intimidate them. Bumrah hovers and lurks as surely as the cycles of the solar system, regardless of whether the Pune strip unfolds as a turner, semi-turner, or non-turner. His ability to influence the course of the game is impervious to the whims of the weather, the pitch, and the batsmen's reputation. In one creative outburst, Bumrah could mow through batting lineups with the new ball, old ball, semi-old ball, or semi-new ball, and he could change the course of the game to suit his wishes. India will aim to prime and stir their blockbuster seamer in order to recover from the Bengaluru gaffe. On the other hand, Tom Latham and his batting team would be aware of
In their depressing Bengaluru opening against New Zealand, India reached a new low in Test cricket.
On Day 2 of the first Test match against New Zealand on Thursday, the Indian squad reached its lowest point under the cloudy circumstances of Bengaluru. In a home Test, India lost four of their top seven batsmen for ducks for the first time in cricket's storied history.Sarfaraz Khan (0 off 3), Ravindra Jadeja (0 off 6), KL Rahul (0 off 6), and Virat Kohli (0 off 9) all made their way back to the pavilion without posing any problems for the scorekeepers. Ravichandran Ashwin was removed for a golden duck on the opening ball of the second session, leaving India with five ducks overall.aAn thrilling battle between bat and ball resulted from the scorching deliveries of New Zealand pacers, which continued to worry the Indian batters after captain Rohit Sharma left cheaply. By removing more bounce from the surface, ORourke stunned Kohli and silenced the fans at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Glenn Phillips came flying from leg gully to make a spectacular catch after the Indian stalwart gloved the ball to him despite his best efforts to defend it off his toes. This was Kohli's first duck in 32 innings; his previous duck occurred at Wankhede in 2021 against the same opponents.Sarfaraz used the bottom edge of his bat to smack the ball as he finally had his chance. At extra cover, Devon Conway jumped to his right to finish a spectacular catch. KL When Rahul arrived, ORourke welcomed him by slamming the ball into his glove. ORourke returned in his subsequent over to reap the benefits of his labors, having frightened Rahul. Rahul made a mistake and sent the ball down to Blundell's left, becoming India's third duck in a desperate attempt to score. After a missed shot, Ravindra Jadeja quickly came in as the fourth.India's tail attempted, but was unable, to withstand having five ducks on the scoreboard. In the end, India lost for 46.

India is overwhelmed by the mayhem at the Sharjah extravaganza.
It seemed like a dream you hoped would linger longer long before the cloud of sadness descended. As the sun set, the fans—nearly 15,000 of whom were in Sharjah—rushed through the turnstiles, raucous and ecstatic, yelling, singing, waving, and doing anything they could to catch Jemi, Harry Di, or Smriti's eye.It appeared that the days of cramming a stand with schoolchildren and giving out free sandwiches were long gone. It felt like the beginning of a new era, with all of that apathy and systemic indifference (at least in part) behind us. Now, the rocket just needed that fuel to get into orbit.For India to move from being a contender to a champion, they needed that boost. Even if their captain is walking on crutches and moonwalkers, they still need to play like one against the genuine ones, who know how to end games from difficult scenarios. The stage could hardly have been more magnificent for India.The commotion, commotion, color, and craziness were chaotic yet magnificent. Security officers who were accustomed to watching four administrators and five ground crew members argue over countless cups of Irani chai had never experienced such a last-minute tussle, where all pre-match procedures, including complex security measures, needed to be practiced.With good cause, this India vs. Australia encounter was billed as the tournament's main event. It all deserved a thriller because of its grandeur. We also got one. However, it seemed inevitable that the rock stars, who were the main attraction, would end their show in the middle of their performance. Unless Monday night is when Pakistan plays the match of their lives.India's jigsaw was clinically disassembled by Australia, leaving them with a number of problems and few answers. The captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, was devastated and appeared exhausted, both emotionally and physically, as he struggled to breathe in the unbearable October heat. India had Australia on the ropes, as they have on a few occasions, despite all the failed run-out opportunities and dropped catches, as well as the confusion surrounding Asha Sobhana's one-leg hobble shortly before the game, which nobody appeared to take seriously enough at first. Consider the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in Cape Town last year or, more recently, the T20I series in Navi Mumbai in December. Australia momentarily faltered despite India's wobble in the top order, which was caused by the absence of Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues. The opposing duo of Harmanpreet and Deepti Sharma brought India

The tennis player from Spain, who has won over millions of fans worldwide, has a remarkable accomplishment history.Although Rafael Nadal's career has seen many great highs, the 38-year-old has had difficulty in recent years due to recurrent ailments. Nadal expressed his gratitude for the impact that injuries have had on his body and game in a touching letter that was shared in Spanish on X on Thursday."Hi to all of you. "I am here to announce my retirement from the professional game of tennis," said Rafael Nadal. "The truth is that these past two years in particular have been quite challenging. I doubt I've been able to play without any restrictions. "It's clear that this is a tough choice, and it took me some time to decide. However, everything in this world has a start and a finish. The tennis legend stated in the video post, "And I think it's the appropriate time to put an end to a career that has been long and much more successful than I could have ever imagined."Nadal is keen to end his remarkable career on a positive note, even though his choice to retire signifies the end of an era. Before retiring from the professional circuit, he will have one final opportunity to wear his nation's colors as a representative of Spain in the upcoming Davis Cup Finals. "I am very excited that my last tournament will be the final of the Davis Cup and representing my country." In addition, Nadal mentioned that winning the Davis Cup final in Seville in 2004 was one of his first and most treasured professional memories, making it a suitable way to end his career.

He has won 14 French Open titles, demonstrating his unparalleled domination on Roland Garros' clay courts. In addition, Nadal is among the select few athletes who has won each of the four major titles on numerous occasions and held the top ranking in the world for 209 weeks.

"I've spent a lot of time with them and experienced a lot of memorable moments.
India vs. Bangladesh Kanpur nets cues for the second test Bumrah and Axar's troubles against Virat Kohli, and Bangladesh's Shakib dilemma
Jasprit Bumrah bowled Virat Kohli in the nets with about 15 deliveries under the sweltering sun at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium, and he "got him out" four times.When Kohli hit his signature cover drive on the next ball, the local cops, grounds crew, and a few journalists in the stands went crazy. Bumrah retreated and bowled at the fourth stump line, but Kohli edged it because the length was shorter this time.After that, Bumrah switched his assault to the middle and leg stumps, outwitting Kohli twice in a row. After the inside edge struck the pads on both occasions, the ball lobbed. After giving him a smile and teasing him, Bumrah said, "Aakhiri wala toh short leg ka catch tha (The short leg could have catched the last one)." Kohli grinned and went to the parallel net, where Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin were bowling.Kohli's difficulties against spinners have gained notoriety in the recent past. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, an off-spinner, dismissed him for 17 in Chennai, making it the 18th occasion since 2021 that Kohli was dismissed by spinners. In the Kanpur nets, he was having trouble against the Indian spin trio as well, particularly the two left-arm spinners. In an attempt to play inside-out against Jadeja, Kohli missed three straight and appeared frustrated. But what really caught people's attention was when Axar took out the master batsman through the fence. Before Shubman Gill replaced him in the nets, that was the final ball that Kohli played.Shakib is available and fit. During Bangladesh's morning practice, Shakib Al Hasan padded up and faced the local spinners for five to seven minutes on two separate occasions. He stormed off in anger both times, heading for the Bangladeshi dressing room. Shakib bowled only 21 overs in Chennai, going wicketless, and scored 32 and 25 in Bangladesh’s 280-run loss. In the 53rd over of India's opening session, he came into the game. During the broadcast, Murali Kartik mentioned that Shakib had informed him about his shoulder and finger tingling.On Wednesday, though, Bangladesh's head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe played down worries about Shakib's fitness following his finger injury in Chennai. I have not heard from my physiotherapist or anybody else at this time. "He remains qualified for selection," Hathurusinghe informed the press.

Live Updates on the Vinesh Phogat CAS Hearing Verdict CAS postpones Vinesh Phogat's decision regarding his disqualification from the Paris Olympics until August 16.
Disqualification from the Olympics for wrestler Vinesh Phogat: On Tuesday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), after hearing arguments from all sides, again postponed ruling on Phogat's appeal against her disqualification from the Paris Olympics until August 16. This prolongs the wait for the Indian sports community.Vinesh, who last Tuesday easily defeated Yui Susaki of Japan in the women's 50kg freestyle final, was disqualified from the gold medal match against eventual winner Sarah Hildebrandt of the United States after it was discovered that she weighed 100 grams more than the allowed amount during the morning weigh-in.Startled by the surprising turn of events, the defeated wrestler filed an appeal at the CAS last Wednesday, demanding a joint silver medal with Yusneylis Guzman Lopez, a Cuban wrestler who had lost to Vinesh but advanced to the final after the Indian wrestler was disqualified. Sports icons from all over the world supported the 29-year-old wrestler who was competing in her third Olympic Games, Vinesh, stating she doesn't have the strength to continue. Vinesh announced her retirement from the sport a day after her heartbreaking disqualification.
The Olympics gave France a rare sense of unanimity. Let's return to the political game now.
This once-brusque city has become an oasis of unity thanks to the Olympics. However, the political and social unrest that existed before the Games hasn't subsided.PARIS: On the banks of the Canal de Saint-Denis, it is one hour before dawn and the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics has just concluded. But Parisian DJ Sara Zinger is spinning hit after hit for the youthful audience of hipsters, visitors, and volunteers who are wringing the last bit of positive energy out of these Games at a fan zone that lines a highway bridge close to the Stade de France. Whatever their bedtime, they are aware that France is going to awaken from its Olympic fantasy to a hard reality."Everyone was supporting the French athletes, Black or White, and the Olympics helped bring people together," said Mary Mathurin, 21, a student soaking up the last vestiges of this athletic carnival. "But as soon as we stop focusing on the sports, people are going to start arguing with each other again. "More than expected, the Olympics have brought smiles to Paris, a city known for its brusqueness, and have made the city an oasis. They have provided a sincere moment of pride and unanimity for this fragmented country. However, social unrest and political unrest plagued France before a ghostly metal horse rode down the Seine. Prior to the Games, the far-right garnered significant victories in elections throughout Europe, which led President Emmanuel Macron to convene an unexpected legislative session with the apparent intention of impeding its growth.

T20 World Cup 2024 Seventeen Indians will perform for an audience that is primarily Indian.
This occurs when a nation with more than five million cricket players is limited to fielding an eleven-man squad on any one day. This is what occurs when gifted individuals in one country fall between the cracks and succeed independently in another.New York's Nassau County International Cricket StadiumImage courtesy of ReutersNew York: This is not an Indo-American mash-up musical in America, don't get me wrong.This is "THE" cricket match between the United States of America and India. The International Cricket Council inflated the Impact Player rule pertaining to the Indian Premier League.This is due to the fact that good is insufficient in India. Hell, most of the time exceptional is insufficient. However, there are plenty of Indians with strong cricketing backgrounds for a nation eager to construct anything, anything, to capitalize on cricket. Consequently, t exists.
Sourav Ganguly feels the impact player for the IPL should be disclosed at toss.
Saurav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals, speaks to the media on March 27, 2024, the Wednesday before the IPL 2024 T20 cricket match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.Sourav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals and a former captain of India, supports keeping the impact-player rule in place for the Indian Premier League but prefers that teams make their own decisions at the toss.The impact-player rule has gained a lot of attention in the wake of the recent IPL season, in which eight teams scored more than 250 runs. The impact player rule appeals to me. The only issue I have with the IPL is that I wish the grounds were a little bit larger. On the fringes of the Blue Ocean Corporation's International Procurement and Supply Chain Conference, Ganguly told the journalists, "The fences should go a little behind."It's a fantastic competition. With the impact player, your sole option is to make your decision prior to the toss, thus some skill is required there."So, disclose the impact player beforehand since it would need a lot of talent and strategy. But as for the impact player, I am all for it," the former captain of India stated. Ganguly supported Prithvi Shaw, who had a poor IPL season this year, pointing out that he is still a young player still getting used to the shorter format. "Prithvi Shaw is a small child. He's only twenty-three. He's still getting the hang of T20 cricket. He has a great deal of skill and will only grow better. Sometimes we ask too much of people too soon, and I'm confident Prithvi will succeed given his skill set," he continued.
