The background The past couple of months have been terrible for Rahul. First, he was brutally trolled for his poor form in the overseas tour against Australia. Then things got even worse when he was caught in the controversial episode of Koffee with Karan. Both Rahul and Pandya suspended from the Indian team for the New Zealand tour as their comments were deemed to be sexist and misogynistic. The ban was lifted later and Rahul joined India A team to play England Lions while Pandya joined the national team to play against New Zealand....

The first glimpse at Knack 2 also revealed that the game may have a few vehicular segments available for co-op players, although we’re not entirely sure what each player will be respectively controlling. Much like the first game, each environment will feature highly destructible objects, baddies of all sizes, and plenty of nature-oriented locations. It looks like some of the main cast will be returning, although nothing is currently known about the plot for Knack 2....

World number four McIlroy posted a two-over 74 in the first round and, though he improved on day two, a one-under 71 was not enough to see him into the weekend. It marks the second straight missed cut for McIlroy, who suffered the same fate at the Irish Open, and his third in four events as he continues to struggle in a year blighted by injury problems. He made the turn in 33 after birdies at the third, fourth and seventh, but he was unable to recover ground after he doubled the 13th for the second time in as many days and will go into next week’s Open in a very poor run of form....

But it is a decision, and there are alternatives, from companies such as Kobo. In this article we review the Kobo Aura One, a large-screen eReader with exceptional water-resistance and good night-time reading features. Design & build quality The Aura One is a plain, somewhat generic-looking, slightly larger-than-average eReader. The front, admirably, is the sort of design that tries not to be noticed, presumably to place all attention on the book you’re reading; there are no visible buttons, and even the Kobo logo, dark grey on black, is barely noticeable (except in some of the company’s brightly lit press photos)....

Few would have given the tournament’s only winless side any hope of causing an upset at the Rose Bowl, but a superb bowling performance, restricting the favourites to just 224-8, had Afghanistan firmly in the contest at the halfway stage. And that was still the case with Mohammad Nabi at the crease but, with 12 needed off four balls, the former captain holed out off the bowling of Mohammed Shami, who cleaned up Aftab Alam and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to finish the game with the first hat-trick of this year’s competition....

Thanks to a 204 run partnership between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant for the sixth wicket while chasing 463, the Indian side almost made an astonishing comeback, however, they were stopped by Adil Rashid.

If the decline began in 2011, it reached a pinnacle with the retirements of Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardena and Tillakaratne Dilshan.
