Fellow spinner Ravichandran Ashwin accounted for the first three wickets, sending back Kiwi skipper Tom Latham (15), Will Young (18) and Devon Conway (76). From then on, it was Sundar all the way.

The Kiwis never recovered from the blows, with the next five wickets falling for just 58 runs, as Sundar ran through the lower order. Apart from Ravindra, the tall off-spinner castled Tom Blundell (3), Mitchell Santner (33), Tim Southee (5) and Ajaz Patel (4), hitting the off-stump with unerring consistency. In reply, India ended day 1 on 16/1, with Yashasvi Jaiswal (6 not out) and Shubman Gill (10 not out) at the crease. Skipper Rohit Sharma was cleaned up by Tim Southee for a nine-ball duck.
coming-soon-nrai-s-franchise-based-shooting-league-of-india
The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) on Wednesday announced the sport's first-ever franchise-based league in the country. The competition will be called Shooting League of India. The proposal, mooted by NRAI president Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo, has received approval from the national federation's governing body. A window for the same is being chalked out, post receiving approvals from the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), the sport's global governing body. The first edition of the league will be held in March. Making the objectives behind the franchise league clear, NRAI Secretary-General Sultan Singh said, We want to have all 15 Olympic events as part of the SLI, but we will try to innovate and tweak some formats so as to make them more exciting to watch on telecast or livestream. We also want to have unique ownership and team composition, which will help in bringing in newer audiences and sponsors to the sport. More details will be shared soon. Shooting, particularly after the performance in the recent Paris Olympics has received a huge fillip in its popularity and we thought that this was the right moment to launch a league, Narayan Singh Deo said. We have seen how well-organised franchise leagues have not only helped in popularising the sport even further, but most importantly have brought in new audiences and revenue for them and their athletes. We owe it to our athletes to make the sport self-sustainable, he added. At the Paris Olympics, Indian shooters made history by winning three medals in a single sport, which was a first in the country's history. Shooting in its purest Olympic form and format is not considered television-friendly. However, we have all deliberated upon it extensively and feel that we may have arrived at a winning formula, he said. Let's keep our fingers crossed as all is in the interest of the sport and its super athletes, who have brought glory to the country on global platforms consistently over the last few decades, Deo added.
isl-should-kerala-blasters-bench-adrian-luna-against-bengaluru-fc
In his press conference before the match against Bengaluru FC, Kerala Blasters manager Mikael Stahre termed the fixture a tough home match. On the face of it, this seems odd. After all, Bengaluru would have to contend with the home teams fanatical fans. But, going by the performances of the two teams, it is evident that Stahre was right to highlight how difficult the game would. The league leaders have been that good. After five matches, Bengaluru have a near-perfect recordfour wins, including an impressive 3-0 win against ISL Shield Winners Mohan Bagan Super Giant, and one draw, which was against ISL Cup winners Mumbai City, away from home. Incredibly, the team is yet to concede a single goal in the competition this season. Captain Sunil Chhetri has three goals and one assist already and even at 40, the retired national team legend is still arguably Indias best player, thanks primarily to his football intelligenceunmatched within the country's national talent pool. Having an Indian player as a goal threat is a major advantage for the team because every other ISL team depends heavily on foreign players for goals. Therefore, having Chhetri in the squad frees up an extra slot for the team to field a foreign player elsewhere on the pitch. Centre-back Chinglensana Singh will miss the match against the Blasters after being shown a red card in the 1-0 win against Punjab. For most teams in the ISL, this would be a major blow. But, in the case of Bengaluru, it could be argued that it would make their defence stronger with the towering Australian Aleksandar Jovanovic expected to start. The only problem for Bengaluru is that new signing Jorge Pereyra Diaz is yet to get going in the league. However, even this is bad news for the other teamsthat Bengaluru are playing well without one of the leagues most talented attackers firing on all cylinders. The Blasters fans have seen up close how devastating the 34-year-old Argentine can be during his one season in Kerala, and they have to hope that he does not find his form against their team. In fact, it was Diaz's goal in the added time that knocked the Blasters out of Durand Cup earlier this year, in Bengaluru's 1-0 win in the quarterfinal. The Blasters have shown great improvement since their disappointing opening match loss to Punjab. Noah Sadaoui has been electric and has formed a great understanding with Jesus Jimenez. Captain Adrian Luna is making progress in terms of improving his match fitness, but it may be too early to expect a massive impact from him. What is important for the team is that he plays enough minutes to enable him to get back to his best later in the season. Kwame Peprah can consider himself unlucky if he does not get a start after impressing from the bench. But, Jimenez is the right choice as he helps the team recycle the ball by dropping deep; Peprah is more of a threat on the counter-attack and in later stages of matches against tired defences. The team has scored in every game so far, and with Sadaoui, Jimenez and Luna, and the threat of Peprah from the bench, the Blasters are a good bet to be the first team to breach the Bengaluru defence this season. The problem for the home team will be at the other end of the pitch. The Blasters are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and have conceded first in four of five matches so far. The attack is foreign-player heavy, which means that the Indian players will have to be trusted in crucial roles in defence and midfield. If the coach is unwilling to make the tough call of dropping Luna for this match, he will once again restrict himself to being able to pick only one out of Milos Drincic and Alexandre Coeff. Ideally, for this match, the Blasters need Coeff as the defensive midfielder and Drincic in defence. But, the indications are that Luna will start. So, we may see a midfield of Vibin Mohanan and Mohammed Azhar again. There were many, fans included, who celebrated the record sale of Jeakson Singh. Bengaluru may well be the match that exposes the lack of defensive nous in the Blasters midfield. It is often said that attack is the best defence. But in this case, defence will be the only defence.
While Team India was taking on New Zealand in Maharashtra, Australian batting great Micheal Clarke made news in the country on Wednesday for his comments on the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Former Australian captain Clarke used a cuss word while talking about the Australian squad for the upcoming Test series against India. Clarke strongly argued that the Australian selectors need to bring in a specialist opener to take on Rohit Sharma and Co. as the experiment using Steve Smith in the slot failed to yield the desired results. The Baggy Greens should give an in-form player from the domestic circuit a call-up instead of asking batters to change their regular position, he said. Clarke told Sky Sports Radio that Australia made a mistake by asking Steve Smith to open the innings. We made a mistake in getting Steve Smith to open the batting in Test cricket, so let's not make the same mistake. Let's pick a specialist opener, whoever is best equipped, he said. Elaborating further, Clarke said Cameron Bancroft deserves to open for Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. I would probably go with Cameron Bancroft because he's been the leading run scorer for the last two years in Shield cricket. I care about Shield cricket. I think he's earned the right to be selected based on runs, the multiple World Cup winner said. Clarke argued that players like Josh Inglis, who has been successful down the order can't be promoted to open the innings. An in-form middle-order batter can't be asked to open against a quality international side just because your specialist openers are struggling in the Shiled to make runs. It is in this context that Clarke made a derogatory remark on air. ...It's not just about who's making runs right here, right now. That is not how you select an Australian cricket team. ...The problem they (Australia) have at the moment is the top three contenders who are specialist opening batters are not making runs in Shield cricket.Who gives a s**t? It's been two Shield rounds on wickets that are seaming -- who cares? It can't just be about making runs in the two Shield games, Micheal Clarke said. Since Steven Smith was part of the conversation, many who didn't hear the radio programme in full thought he used the cuss word to abuse his former teammate Smith. The first Test of the Border-Gavaskar trophy is scheduled to start at Perth's Optus Stadium on November 22.
