Ishant Sharma touches the new feat

0

Ishant Sharma becomes the 3rd Indian pacer and the 6th Indian bowler to take the 300 Test Wicket. Before that Anil Kumble [619], Kapil Dev [434], Harbhajan Singh [417], R Ashwin [382], Zaheer Khan [311] have reached the milestone.

Ishant Sharma needed 2 wickets yesterday to reach the milestone. At first, he took the wicket of Jos Buttler. He didn’t have to wait much longer for his second. He took the wicket of Jofra Archer in the very next ball.

Ishant Sharma made his debut in against Bangladesh in May 2007. But he proved his worth against Australia at WACA, in 2008. He made his mark in the fast bouncy pitch of Australia.

After reaching the milestone Ishant said, “Yes, it has been a rollercoaster ride till now. I have enjoyed it. I have had a lot of experiences in my career. There have been mentors who have taught me how to bowl in the subcontinent and how to bowl when I travel abroad.”

He also thanked former Australian pacer Jason Gillespie for his great advice. Ishant said, “A lot of people would tell me I need to increase the pace of my fuller deliveries. No one told me how to do that. When I went to play County cricket, Gillespie told me the solution. He said to increase the pace of fuller deliveries, you don’t just release the ball but hit the deck so that it should hit the knee roll. Earlier, I would put cones during nets. That’s okay for a youngster who wants to get his area right. For someone like me, I need to see where my ball is finishing rather than where it’s pitched.”

Ishant Sharma’s teammate and Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said, “Ishant is one of the most hardworking cricketers I’ve seen. He has done that for more than one reason because being that tall itself requires a lot of facets to be managed through a career which spans 14 years. The Ishant that went to Australia and got Ponting then has gone on so many other tours, had his share of injuries. For a fast bowler to play close to 100 Tests (98 Tests) is not a joke. It is a fantastic, fantastic achievement. I would really want to see him get to 400 and then 500 Test wickets to sort of set a road map for a lot of Indian fast bowlers.”

Real Madrid to turn to the academy to make up for injuries

0

Real Madrid are having a tough time keeping their players fit this season, and Eden Hazard once again finds himself on the injury list, plunging the Belgian into further frustration regarding his Madrid career. In addition to the winger, Rodrygo, Sergio Ramos, Fede Valverde, Dani Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez, Isco and Alvaro Odriozola are also out.

This lengthy list of players sidelined could see Zinedine Zidane turn to the Real Madrid Castilla team to make up the numbers and give the youngsters the chance to help the first team in times of dire need. 

Victor Chust is reportedly viewed as the heir to Sergio Ramos at the club, with the 20-year-old playing the entirety of the 2-hour match that saw Madrid succumb to Alcoyano in the Spanish Cup. 

Miguel Gutierrez has been regularly training with the first team, and Zidane have the player his Madrid debut in a friendly against Fenerbahce in 2019. He is being viewed as a direct replacement for Marcelo and a competitor against Ferland Mendy for game time. 

Elsewhere, on the attacking midfield front, Sergio Arribas and Takuhiro ‘Pipi’ Nakai are two prospects that can offer Zidane some selection headaches in terms of options in midfield. Arribas has already made a few appearances for the first team off the bench and is being preferred over Isco already.

Los Blancos’ chances of retaining their title are getting slimmer with every passing match day, with the odds being stacked against them in the form of injuries and inconsistencies. All that said, Madrid did manage to win their last outing in the league against Huesca. 

Zinedine Zidane’s team face Getafe tomorrow at home, with a chance to go second ahead of Barcelona. However, the win won’t come easy despite bookmakers favouring the reigning champions to make short work of the visitors.

Manchester City officials in contact with Messi and co.

Lionel Messi is towards the end of his Barcelona contract and is being heavily linked with moves to Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, who happen to be the only two clubs who can afford the Argentinian’s massive wages in the modern-day. 

According to a report by Mois Llorens and Rodrigo Faez of ESPN, Manchester City officials remain in contact with people around Messi in an attempt to persuade him to reunite with Pep Guardiola in England. 

Fati, Coutinho and Messi impress as Barca break the curse of Balaidos

The approach taken by the Premier League club is said to be the furthest thing from aggressive, and will see them be very patient in their attempts to sign the player should his contract truly run out with the only club he has ever played for professionally. 

City have a few contract situations to sort out themselves, with Sergio Aguero’s future being uncertain, as the striker is entering the last few months of his contract with the club. 

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano and Francesco Porzio revealed on their podcast that Messi would wait for the Barcelona presidential elections to take place and would wait to see the new project at Barcelona and how he can be a part of it. 

FC Barcelona want Aguero in a free transfer

Should the 6-time Ballon d’Or winner be left unsatisfied with what he sees, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City will be at war to convince the player to sign for their club. While the French Champions can offer a reunion with Neymar, a move to City can see Messi play with Aguero and reunite with Pep Guardiola once again. 

Veteran guard Derrick Rose gets traded to New York Knicks from Detroit Pistons

0

Derrick Rose will be reuniting with former head coach Tom Thibodeau as he returns to the New York Knicks. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Detroit Pistons came to an agreement, on Sunday afternoon, to trade Rose to the Knicks in exchange for Dennis Smith Jr. and a 2021 second-round pick.

Rose had sat out the last few games for the Pistons and on Saturday night the news came out that he and the organization had decided that a trade was in their mutual best interests.

Dennis Smith Jr., the No. 9 pick of the 2017 draft, has appeared in just three games this season. In 2019-20, he made 34 appearances and averaged 5.5 points with a woeful 39.9 shooting percentage. He has greatly struggled this season for New York. So much so that he asked for a G League assignment to get minutes and reps. With the Pistons, he may not need such an assignment.

The Knicks, meanwhile, are a few games under .500, but that is much better than what anyone expected, and also has them in place to chase one of the last playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. Entering Sunday, they were in seventh place and only 1.5 games behind the fifth position. This deal is a clear signal that they’re desperate to snap their postseason drought, which dates back to 2013.

This trade seems like a clear win for the Detroit Pistons. They were nearing an important deadline for Rose. They had gotten him for a favourable price in the 2019 offseason, signing him to a two-year, $15 million contract, and the clock was running.

In 2011, a 22-year-old Derrick Rose was named the youngest MVP in league history after averaging 25.0 points and 7.7 assists for the 62-20 Chicago Bulls. Getting him on the move soon, was imperative, and the Pistons knew it. This deal with the Knicks for Dennis Smith Jr. and undetermined draft assets seems like a suitable deal.

NBA Trade Deadline 2021: Everything you need to know

0

On Saturday, more than 90 players who signed as free agents become eligible to be traded. It will mark the unofficial onset of trade season in the NBA. Since mid-November, several big names have already been traded, including James Harden, John Wall, Russell Westbrook, Victor Oladipo, Chris Paul, and Jrue Holiday.

28 out of the 30 teams (only the Charlotte Hornets and New York Knicks have room) do not have cap space and will need to trade salaries that match within 125%, 175% or $5 million. Teams including the Boston Celtics ($28.5 million), Oklahoma City Thunder ($27.3 million and $19.5 million), Denver Nuggets ($9.6 million), Philadelphia 76ers ($8.2 million) and Miami Heat ($7.6 million) can acquire a player without sending back salary because of a previously created trade exception. The Golden State Warriors have a $9.25 million disabled player exception, but they can only use it to trade for a player who is on an expiring contract.

Two stars who could’ve been on the move, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Rudy Gobert — both signed massive extensions to remain with the Milwaukee Bucks and Utah Jazz, respectively, taking two big pieces off the board. Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal is the biggest star who could be considered available. While Beal has not hidden his displeasure at times on court recently while suiting ho for the Wizards, there has been no indication he has asked out of Washington.

The New Orleans Pelicans have already engaged teams on veteran guards Lonzo Ball and JJ Redick. The Houston Rockets could potentially move Victor Oladipo again and forward P.J. Tucker, who is also on an expiring contract. Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier is on an expiring contract and is expected to draw interest.

Out of the teams hoping to win a title this year, four of them — the defending champion Lakers, the Clippers, the Bucks, and the Brooklyn Nets — have no first-round picks to trade for quite a few years to come, making it difficult to find a way to add a difference-making player.

The Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks, two teams on the fringe of the playoff race, both have already traded their 2021 first-round pick. The Jazz, who find themselves near the top of the West, owe the Memphis Grizzlies a pick that has protections all the way out to 2024.
