But give importance to other sports too, otherwise where will we get sporting culture from? And cricket, Bollywood will always be our focus.

Shivam Dube (Image Credit- Twitter X) IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third match of the ongoing three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka (IND vs SL) is being played today on Wednesday, August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Let us tell you that in this match, all-rounder Shivam Dube has been seen bowling very tight, due to which Sri Lanka could not open its hands in the powerplay against India. So after performing averagely in the first two ODIs against Sri Lanka, Dubey was expected to perform better in the third ODI. Dubey has lived up to the team’s expectations. Captain Rohit handed the ball to Dubey in the powerplay itself against the host Sri Lanka who won the toss and chose to bat first. Dubey came to bowl the second over of the Sri Lankan innings and he conceded only 2 runs in this over. After this he bowled the fourth over and in this too he conceded only 1 run. After this he bowled the sixth over of the Sri Lankan innings and in this over Dubey conceded only 1 run. After this, Dubey came to bowl the 8th over and he gave 5 runs in this over. Dubey gave only 9 runs in the powerplay in the four overs he bowled, due to which Team India was successful in tightening the screws on the host team from the beginning. Shivam Dube is looking like a different beast with the new ball. The development that Dube has made in his bowling over time is truly amazing. pic.twitter.com/HgTwtfr1Pr — Vishal.

Well, now it will be interesting to see whether Team India is able to achieve this target or not?
Paris Olympics 2024: When Vinesh Phogat missed out on creating history, the cricket world gave such reactions
Vinesh Phogat (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Vinesh Phogat is the 2024 Paris Olympics winner Seeing the way India’s star female wrestler Vinesh Phogat won three matches one after the other and made it to the finals on 7 August in the Paris Olympics, everyone believed that Vinesh would definitely bring a gold medal for her country. But this dream of Vinesh Phogat as well as crores of Indians has been shattered. Vinesh Phogat had made it to the finals by winning all her three matches in the women’s 50 kg category on Tuesday. During this time, Vinesh also defeated Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Susaki. Meanwhile, on Wednesday morning, news came that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified. This means that she has been declared ineligible to play in the final match. Vinesh Phogat’s weight was 100 grams more than the prescribed weight and due to this she was disqualified. Hearing this news, millions of Indian fans including Vinesh were disappointed. Actually, according to the rules regarding weighing, the wrestler’s weight is taken on the day when he has to fight. The matches of every weight category are held within two days, so the wrestlers who reach the final or repechage have to get weighed on both days. The wrestler has 30 minutes for the first time while getting weighed. They can weigh themselves as many times as they want within 30 minutes. During this time, it is also checked that the wrestler does not have any infectious disease and his nails are cut very short. Wrestlers who have to compete for the second consecutive day are given 15 minutes to weigh themselves. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) confirmed that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified due to being overweight. The association said, “The Indian team is saddened to report that Vinesh Phogat has been disqualified from the 50 kg category of women’s wrestling. Despite the best efforts made by the team overnight, this morning her weight was a few grams more than 50 kg. There will be no further comment by the team at this time. The Indian team requests you to respect Vinesh’s privacy. She would like to focus on the current competitions.” Paris Olympics 2024 Vinesh Phogat: Cricketers gave such reactions on Vinesh Phogat being out A day of relentless fights, defying the craziest of odds, breaking the world number 1’s perfect streak.
