“There are two kinds of angry people in this world: explosive and implosive….” And then there is Virat Kohli – The angry young man of Indian cricket. It all began with a cheeky single. The batsman ran for a quick single, the bowler stood his ground, there was a collision and bang, and the fireworks started. In a game that features Chris Gayle carting his opposition to all parts of the ground, very rarely does anything else becomes the talking point....

The Indian team is currently the number 1 ranked Test team in the world and is in the midst of an extended purple patch as the team has remained invincible at home and has beaten Sri Lanka and West Indies in their own backyard. “I believe this team under Virat has the quality and capability of winning Test matches outside the sub-continent.

Just when things were looking all hunky-dory between the Indians and the Aussies, a small gesture seems to have created a hell of a lot of trouble. All hell seems to have broken loose after the cameras caught Virat Kohli making an “obscene” gesture ” towards the SCG crowd. We all know just how unruly the Aussie crowd can be at times but literally provoking the already battered Indian players is just very poor behavior....

The Reds came into Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Anfield facing intense scrutiny after their poor start to the new season was extended by a 4-1 defeat at Napoli six days earlier. That result also led to some honest conversations at the club’s Kirkby training complex, with Klopp reminding the players of their responsibilities in a bid to spark a turnaround.

Dmitry Baltrukov, 43, is one of many municipal deputies for Smolninskoe in St. Petersburg who appealed to the country’s parliament last month to remove Putin from power on the charge of high treason over the Ukraine war. The price: a 44,000 ruble ($758) fine for “discrediting” the Russian army, and now, the official has been ordered to enlist and serve in Ukraine, something he believes is a deliberate attempt to “get rid” of him, given that he does not meet the defense ministry’s criteria to be drafted....
