In conditions that looked tough for batting, Rahul returned with scores of 84 and 26 in his two innings of the Nottingham Test match against England. He was the top-scorer from the Indian team in that game. David Gower lauded KL Rahul for keeping his self-belief in challenging conditions. Speaking on Cricket.com’s show ‘The English Summer with David Gower,’ the former England captain said: Appreciating the technique with which KL Rahul batted at Trent Bridge, Gower added:...

It was hard for the selectors to neglect his prowess for long and he was soon fast-tracked into the Test squad for the tour to Australia. Though Rahul endured failures on his debut in the Boxing Day Test at MCG, he announced his arrival on the international scene in the next match with a patient century, showcasing his talent to the world. He continued to impress in the longest version of the game with hundreds in away fixtures against West Indies and Sri Lanka....

Liverpool reached the final of the Champions League last season, knocking out City on the way, but they were 25 points off the record-breaking pace set by Pep Guardiola’s side domestically. The Reds have strengthened in the close season with the likes of Alisson, Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri arriving and boss Klopp says Liverpool are ready to “really go for it”. But the German recognises it remains a sizeable task and likened City to Drago, the formidable rival to fictional boxing character Balboa....

The Reds enjoyed a stunning 2018-19, beating Tottenham 2-0 in the Champions League final and finishing just a point behind Premier League winners Manchester City. They take on Europa League victors Chelsea in the Super Cup on Wednesday and Klopp expects his players to show the same desire for silverware that characterised their previous campaign. When asked by UEFA.com how his side can build on their success, he said: “Stay greedy....

Williamson and Barrett were team-mates at Duke and both were selected in the top three – by the New Orleans Pelicans and New York Knicks respectively – of the 2019 NBA Draft. Williamson was asked about Barrett during a recent interview with SNY. “[Knicks fans] can expect that they’re getting a killer,” Williamson said. Barrett averaged 22.6 points per game as a freshman for the Blue Devils in 2018-19. But, he shot just 30....

In Wondaria Ruins, Kirby will be able to use Light-Bulb Mouth Mode for the first time. When he’s not illuminating the room as Light-Bulb Mouth, he can move at a regular speed. Like every other Mouthful Mode and Copy Ability in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, there is a Treasure Road specifically for the Light-Bulb ability. If players are hoping to attempt this Treasure Road and get the Rare Stone, then they should get an idea of where to place their feet....

Arguably the best-known example of Kirby’s Copy Abilities outside his main adventures is Super Smash Bros., where the pink puffball can steal the neutral-B attack from any opposing fighter. Spin-offs like the golf-themed Kirby’s Dream Course and racing game Kirby Air Ride have incorporated Copy Abilities like Tornado and Sword to great effect, and the Kirby Fighters subseries uses them as stand-ins for alternate characters in a traditional fighting game....

While speaking Wednesday at Minnesota’s mandatory minicamp, the Vikings quarterback admitted his place in the NFL landscape isn’t the strongest and reiterated the need to change that in 2019 if the team hopes to improve its position in the brutal NFC North. “I think the next level, really, is all about winning,” Cousins told reporters. “I’m pretty much a .500 quarterback in my career so far and I don’t think that’s where you want to be and that’s not why you are brought in or people are excited about you....

If this year’s college football season is delayed or canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, ESPN “will likely turn to” play-by-play announcer Chris Fowler and analyst Kirk Herbstreit for its NFL broadcasts, according to Front Office Sports’ Michael McCarthy. ESPN’s “MNF” booth is currently vacant, as the network is moving on from the broadcast duo of Joe Tessitore and Booger McFarland. After trying but failing to land big names like Al Michaels, Tony Romo, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees for its Monday night booth, ESPN is expected to hire a new duo from its pool of current broadcasters....

The court filing came as part of a civil case in California as the House select committee attempts to legally compel attorney John Eastman to provide investigators with emails regarding his work with Trump. Eastman advised Trump and his allies regarding efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in an effort to keep President Joe Biden from taking office. “The Select Committee also has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States in violation of 18 U....

The 29-year-old star is reportedly planning to re-sign with the Warriors. But, Thompson would be open to meeting with the Lakers, now that they’ll have $32 million in cap space, if Golden State does not offer him a max contract when free agency begins June 30, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times. Thompson would also be willing to visit with the Clippers in that scenario, according to multiple reports....

That Klay Thompson guy is pretty good, too. Granted, Thompson defers to the NBA MVP; after their Finals victory against the Cavs, he said Curry was the best player in the NBA. But Thompson might have taken the award for best offseason trick shot from his Splash Brother after sinking a halfcourt shot with one hand . . . while riding a bicycle. You’ve got to see this. MORE: All-Access Golden State Warriors | Curry, Thompson joined by dads in special interview...

The two signed for the Reds just before the transfer window set, giving Klopp a few more options on his backline amid an injury crisis. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are all out with long-term injuries, while Fabinho will also miss out this weekend against Leicester. What did Klopp say? “They have really thrown themselves into everything that is ahead of them, which is what a defender should do," Klopp said....

The Reds are flying high in the Premier League, having extended their cushion at the top of the table to six points on Boxing Day with a 4-0 thumping of Newcastle United at Anfield. With reigning champions Manchester City faltering, Tottenham have moved up to second place as Liverpool seek their first title since the formation of the Premier League. And Klopp will not allow an upcoming last-16 tie against Bundesliga giants Bayern to take focus away from his side’s charge....

A deal is in place for the highly rated midfielder to leave the Bundesliga side and move to Anfield at the end of the season. Recent speculation has suggested the departure of the Guinea international could be accelerated, but Klopp, addressing the media ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League match away to Bournemouth on Sunday, emphatically rejected those reports. Asked if Keita could arrive this season, Klopp replied: “No. He is a player of Leipzig....

Trevor Knight, Oklahoma If you’re only as good as your last game, then Knight is pretty darn good. A run-first quarterback most the season, he showed he could sling it around, too, with a 348-yard, four-TD effort against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. We know he can run — he gained 445 yards (6.6 per carry) last season, but can he throw it consistently? If so, he could be in the Heisman mix because we expect the Sooners to be a championship-level team....

Bryant collided with Kings guard Rajon Rondo on a drive to the basket. Bryant briefly stayed in the game before being checked out on the sideline and eventually jogging to the locker room for further evaluation. The Lakers announced the 37-year-old suffered a left lower-leg contusion and would not return. MORE: Lakers have a potential ‘Showtime’ revivalist in Marcelo Huertas Bryant, who has played through broken fingers and countless sprains, played in just 35 games last season before suffering a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder in January....

The LeBron vs. MJ debate won’t disappear with James still going strong in Year 15, but it’s hard to inject anything of substance into the discussion with all of the angles being beaten into the ground by analysts each day. If only we had someone with a few rings of his own to weigh in on the subject… Oh, here’s Kobe Bryant! Bryant makes a valid point. The tendency to point toward Jordan any time James takes a step on a basketball court can suck all of the enjoyment out of watching the games in front of us....

His death, sudden and staggering, will conjure memories of the legacy he carved for himself by becoming one of the greatest competitors the NBA has ever seen. And part of that legacy will be his inexorable link to LeBron James. MORE: How Bryant’s legacy took shape by pushing Michael Jordan in ‘98 All-Star Game That connection reached a fever pitch in the days leading up to Bryant’s death, which occurred one day after James — playing for Bryant’s Lakers in his hometown of Philadelphia — passed him for third on the NBA’s all-time scoring list....
