[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championship is scheduled to take place from September 27 to October 6, 2019, at the multi-purpose Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar.

 However, men’s 400M is scheduled to start on October 1, 2019, at 1:35 pm IST. The finals will be on October 4, 2019, at 7:20 pm IST. Fans can expect a new champion this year as the current champion Wayde Van Niekerk will not be playing in the upcoming IAAF World Championships.

Michael Norman and Fred Kerley from the US are the leading individuals and the two are world’s top seven one-lap athletes in history. 

Nathan Strother and Vernon Norwood from US will also be participating; both set as personal bests at the US Championships in July and could be a key factor. 

Athletes also have to look out for 21-year-old Jamaican talent Akeem Bloomfield, who surprised everyone with a 43.94 debut run last year. 

Samba and Karsten Warholm will also attend the event and though they may be better known for their world-class exploits in the 400m hurdles, both the players have records in their home town at the 400m events.

Indian National record holder Muhammed Anas Yahiya will not be running in the individual 400m at the IAAF World Championships in Doha. Anas earlier crossed the qualifying mark of 45.30 by clocking 45.21 at the Kladno international meet. In the process, he also broke his national record. However, the Athletics Federation of India has not entered Anas’ name in the individual 400m event but he will be participating in the men’s 4x400m relay and mixed 4x400m relay. The governing body of IAAF recently issued the list of athletes and the name of the 25-year-old was only in the men’s 4x400m and mixed 4x400m relay.

IAAF in a tweet declared that final athlete entry lists for the World Athletics Champs is more than 2000 athletes from 210 teams.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With IAAF World Championships to start tomorrow, September 27, Qatar Airways took to twitter portraying images of embassies of competing nations and spectators greeting athletes arriving in Doha.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

IND vs NZ 2nd T20I: New Zealand cross 200 despite India’s fightback in 2nd T20I

Kuldeep Yadav led India’s spin effort in Raipur as New Zealand lost five wickets before recovering late to post a competitive 200-plus total in the second T20I.

India produced a controlled bowling effort through the middle phase, led by Kuldeep Yadav, but New Zealand managed a late acceleration to post a 200-plus total after being put in to bat in the second T20 International of the five-match series in Raipur on Friday.

New Zealand began positively after losing the toss, with their openers making good use of the powerplay. India, however, pulled things back soon after, with Harshit Rana providing the opening breakthrough before Varun Chakravarthy struck to apply pressure during the early overs.

Kuldeep Yadav emerged as India’s most effective bowler on the day. The left-arm spinner dismissed Rachin Ravindra, who top-scored for New Zealand with a brisk 44, and later removed Glenn Phillips to halt the visitors’ momentum during the middle overs. His spell ensured New Zealand lost wickets at regular intervals despite maintaining a healthy run rate.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav’s decision to introduce Shivam Dube also worked in India’s favour, as the medium-pacer accounted for Daryl Mitchell with a well-disguised delivery. With Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana picking up a wicket each, New Zealand were reduced to five down at one stage.

However, the visitors recovered strongly in the latter part of the innings. Late-order contributions, including finishing touches from Mitchell Santner, helped New Zealand regain momentum and push the total beyond 200, giving them a competitive score on a good batting surface.

India went into the match without Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested, while Axar Patel missed out due to a finger injury sustained in the first T20I. The inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav and Harshit Rana added variety to the bowling attack as India looked to build on their opening-match win in the series.

Bangladesh refuses to play T20 World Cup in India after ICC rejects venue shift request

Bangladesh have declined to play the ICC T20 World Cup in India after their request for shifting matches was rejected by the ICC, citing political tensions.

Bangladesh have decided not to travel to India for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, scheduled to begin on February 7, after their request to shift matches out of the country was rejected by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The decision was announced on Thursday following a meeting involving Bangladesh national team players and Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Nazrul. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had been given a 24-hour deadline by the ICC on Wednesday to confirm its participation in the tournament.

The board clarified that it is keen to take part in the global event but expressed its inability to do so in India amid prevailing political tensions between the two countries. The BCB said it would continue discussions with the ICC in the hope of finding an alternative solution to the impasse.

However, with the tournament drawing closer, Bangladesh’s withdrawal has placed the ICC in a difficult position. As things stand, Scotland are likely to be brought in as a replacement team if Bangladesh’s stance remains unchanged.

The ICC has not yet issued an official statement on Bangladesh’s decision, but preparations for the tournament are continuing as per the original schedule.

India outclass New Zealand by 48 runs to take 1-0 lead in T20I series

Abhishek Sharma’s blistering 84 off 35 balls helped India defeat New Zealand by 48 runs in the opening T20I of the series in Nagpur.

India began the five-match T20 International series on a commanding note, defeating New Zealand by 48 runs in the opening match in Nagpur on Wednesday, with Abhishek Sharma producing a breathtaking batting performance.

Abhishek continued his impressive run in the shortest format, smashing 84 off just 35 deliveries to lay the foundation for India’s imposing total of 238 for 7. His innings, marked by fearless strokeplay and clean hitting, once again underlined his growing importance in India’s T20 setup.

Rinku Singh provided the perfect finishing touch, remaining unbeaten on 44 from 20 balls, as India capitalised on a flat Jamtha surface to pile relentless pressure on the visitors. The pair ensured India ended their innings strongly after a few wickets in the middle overs.

India had earlier lost Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan cheaply, but Abhishek’s aggressive approach never allowed New Zealand’s bowlers to settle. His 99-run partnership with captain Suryakumar Yadav, which came off just 47 balls, shifted the momentum decisively in India’s favour. Suryakumar contributed 32 off 22 balls, playing a supporting role as Abhishek dominated the scoring.

Abhishek’s innings featured eight towering sixes and five fours, with his bat speed and ability to hit straight down the ground proving too much for New Zealand’s pace attack. The lack of express pace in the bowling line-up allowed the left-hander to exploit scoring areas with ease.

New Zealand showed brief resistance in the chase through Glenn Phillips, who struck 78 off 40 balls, and Mark Chapman, who added 39 off 24 deliveries. Their 79-run stand raised hopes of a late push, but the steep required run rate eventually caught up with them.

India’s bowlers struck at crucial intervals to maintain control. Varun Chakravarthy returned figures of 2 for 37, while Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya provided early breakthroughs that ensured New Zealand never fully recovered from the scoreboard pressure.

New Zealand were eventually restricted to 190 for 7, falling well short of the target as India sealed a comprehensive victory to go 1-0 up in the series.
