Insult Of 1.5 Billion Indians: Navjot Singh Sindhu Calls For 'Stringent 'Punishment' Against Travis Head     Former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sindhu was not happy with Travis Head and demanded a severe punishment for him after India's humiliating 185-run loss to Australia in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Head was the difference maker for Australia with the ball after a rare batting failure when he took out Rishabh Pant on the last day of the game. With an 88-run partnership before the crucial wicket shortly after the tea break, Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal seemed to be leading India to safety.   Pant played an unusual knock of 30 runs in 104 balls as India batted to save the match. Head forced the 27-year-old to make a mistake, though, as he tried a big shot but found the fielder at long-on. Fans took notice of Head's celebration of Pant's dismissal when he gestured with his finger to the other pa...

In the afternoon session, when Australia was down six for 91, Jasprit Bumrah took three quick wickets to pull the tourists back into the match. However, the hosts rallied after an outstanding fifty from Marnus Labuschagne and a hard-fought fifty-run partnership between Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland.   Jaiswal had an unmemorable time on the field during the fi...

India's captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, Is no longer affordable Women's cricket in India is at a turning point. The team, once hailed as the next great force in world cricket, is now captained by a man whose leadership lacks the same spark as her erratic batting. The power hitter who once raised millions of people's hopes, Harmanpreet Kaur, now appears to be a burden to the team as a batter and a leader. First, let's talk about her lack of captaincy. Harmanpreet consistently lacks the bravery, initiative, and poise required for leadership. Her strategy lacks vision during pivotal games when the opposition is in control. No effort is made to unite her players, and there is no sense of urgency to innovate. Instead, her notorious temper erupts as apparent frustration takes over.   One example is when she blamed a young Shreyanka Patil for giving up runs in a crucial over in her post-match remarks. A leader builds confidence, assumes responsibility, and protects her ...
