A day after shedding tears on being dismissed in what many former and current England cricketers called a pathetic way of being dismissed, England’s Charlie Dean on Sunday tried to run out non-striker during the final of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy 2022 which is being played on Sunday at the same venue.

Playing for Southern Vipers against Northern Diamonds, Dean was bowling the 8th over of the game and decided to playfully run out non-striker end player Linsey Smith, who managed to keep her one leg inside the return crease.

With a caption, Charlie Dean less than 24 hours later, England’s Barmy Barmy shared a video of the same on social media.

Dean was into her run-up when she tried to emulate the same dismissal that had cost England the match on Saturday. However, non-striker Smith had her foot well within the crease. The two then shared a laugh over it.

Dean’s act led to Twitter full of reactions with most of them praising the all-rounder for moving on quickly from the controversy and showing a strong character.

After the incident, England was looking heartbroken with Dean breaking down and their dressing room wore a stunning look at the turn of events.

During the post-match presentation, team India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was probed over the dismissal and she gave a befitting reply to the critics.

However, when Deepti felt that the match is slipping out of India’s hands, she showcased excellent game awareness to run out Dean for backing up too much. Dean’s dismissal helped India win the match by 16 runs

Fans go wild as Shahid Afridi gets javelin lessons from Olympic medallist Arshad Nadeem

Arshad Nadeem’s name is synonymous with a seismic shift in Pakistani sporting history. His gold medal win at the 2024 Paris Olympics wasn’t just a personal triumph; it was a watershed moment for the nation. Before Paris, Pakistani athletes had never stood atop an Olympic podium in athletics.

Nadeem’s achievement, a breathtaking 92.97m throw that shattered the Olympic record, instantly elevated him to a level of national icon rarely seen. He transcended the realm of mere sportsmanship, becoming a symbol of national pride and a source of unparalleled inspiration.

His popularity now eclipses even the country’s most celebrated cricket stars, a feat previously unimaginable. The sheer magnitude of his accomplishment resonates deeply within Pakistani society; it’s a victory that resonates far beyond the athletic field, inspiring hope and ambition in a nation yearning for global recognition.

The impact of his win is evident in the enthusiastic response to a recently viral video. The footage depicts Nadeem, in a surprisingly casual setting at a Jeddah school, patiently instructing none other than cricketing legend Shahid Afridi in the art of javelin throwing. The scene itself is a testament to Nadeem’s newfound status – a celebrated Olympian tutoring a national sporting icon.

Their shared presence created a palpable energy, further emphasizing Nadeem’s remarkable ascent to national hero status. The video’s viral spread is a clear indication of the widespread adoration and respect Nadeem commands.

The significance of Nadeem’s triumph extends beyond Pakistan’s borders. His victory also marked the end of Neeraj Chopra’s reign as Olympic champion. Chopra, the Indian javelin star, had to settle for silver, a result he later attributed to injury issues in an interview.

While Chopra’s explanation is understandable, it serves to further underscore the magnitude of Nadeem’s victory – a victory that not only secured a first for Pakistan but also dethroned one of the world’s foremost javelin throwers. Nadeem’s remarkable achievement in Paris is a story of dedication, perseverance, and ultimately, triumph on the world’s biggest stage; a story that will be told and retold for generations to come.

Venkatesh Iyer suffers injury during Ranji Trophy, gives scare to KKR fans ahead of IPL 2025

His absence in the upcoming season would be a significant blow to KKR’s campaign, potentially disrupting their carefully crafted strategies and team dynamics. The acquisition of Iyer himself was a high-stakes gamble.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are facing a potentially devastating blow ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Venkatesh Iyer, the star all-rounder who commanded a staggering ₹23.75 crore at the recent mega-auction, has suffered a serious injury during a Ranji Trophy match. The incident occurred while playing for Madhya Pradesh against Kerala at the Greenfield Stadium.

While batting at number six, Iyer twisted his right ankle, bringing a premature end to his innings after just three balls faced. The injury appeared severe, forcing him to immediately retire hurt. Eyewitnesses described Iyer collapsing on the pitch in pain, requiring immediate attention from the team physio.

He subsequently left the field with the physio’s support, a stark image that sent ripples of concern through the KKR fanbase. Later, he was seen in the dugout, wearing a single pad and resting his injured leg, further emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

The timing of the injury couldn’t be worse. Iyer was instrumental in KKR’s IPL 2024 title victory, delivering a stellar performance with 370 runs in 15 matches (13 innings). His impressive average of 46.25 and a remarkable strike rate of 158.79, punctuated by four fifties, solidified his position as a key player within the team.

His absence in the upcoming season would be a significant blow to KKR’s campaign, potentially disrupting their carefully crafted strategies and team dynamics. The acquisition of Iyer himself was a high-stakes gamble.

Released by KKR after the 2024 season, he was unexpectedly snapped up in a fierce bidding war against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The ₹23.75 crore investment underscores the franchise’s belief in his abilities and their willingness to go to extreme lengths to secure his services.

Now, the team finds itself nervously awaiting a prognosis on his injury, hoping for a speedy recovery that would allow this prized asset to return to the field. The extent of the injury and the subsequent recovery timeline remain uncertain, leaving KKR fans and management alike in a state of anxious anticipation.

Shami’s fitness under scrutiny after omission from first T20I against England

Mohammed Shami practices bowling at the nets, with knee heavily strapped.

Mohammed Shami’s anticipated return to international cricket has been further postponed as he was notably absent from India’s lineup for the first T20I against England. This decision has intensified discussions around the fast bowler’s fitness levels.

Despite showing signs of recovery and actively participating in pre-match training sessions, the 34-year-old pacer’s exclusion by skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who chose the playing XI after winning the toss, has raised eyebrows. Shami, observed bowling intensely at the nets while targeting a two-stump line, also had his left knee heavily strapped, a detail that did not go unnoticed during his practice.

The veteran pacer, who has been sidelined for over a year, recently shared his journey of recovery and his determination to return to the field. At a recent Cricket Association of Bengal event, Shami expressed his relentless desire to play for the country and mentioned his active participation in domestic cricket across all formats to regain his form.

Despite this, concerns about his knee swelling post-training sessions linger. Suryakumar Yadav had previously shown confidence in Shami’s recovery, hinting at his inclusion and emphasizing the bowler’s experience as a valuable asset to the team.

However, on the eve of the match, despite Shami’s rigorous training and a subsequent session where he bowled with full intensity, he appeared cautious while walking back to the dressing room, hinting at persistent unease.

This ongoing saga not only affects Shami’s immediate future in the Indian squad but also puts a spotlight on the team’s preparations for the upcoming Champions Trophy, particularly with uncertainty surrounding another key pacer, Jasprit Bumrah.

As the selectors, including Chairman Ajit Agarkar, deliberate on the team’s composition, the emphasis on Shami’s readiness highlights the challenges of managing athlete fitness at the highest levels of cricket. Agarkar has remarked on the strategic importance of reintroducing Shami through shorter formats as a buildup to more intense international engagements.

As the series progresses, all eyes will remain on Shami’s recovery trajectory and his potential impact on the team’s dynamic, especially in the white-ball setup.
