Australia beat India by 35 runs in the fifth and final ODI to win in New Delhi since 1998 and to win their first series in the soil of India after so long .


Usman Khawaja hit a dazzing century to help Australia to win the most memorable series . . Khawaja’s second hundred of the series came on a challenging surface as Australia posted 272/9 in 50 overs . India started losing wickets at regular intervals . Only Rohit Sharma shines out among all and middle order disappoints all .
India got the upper hand when they got the bowling first as they can know about how the pitch would behave . India lost Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli within the first 15 overs . Rohit got a lifeline on 53 when Glenn Maxwell dropped a sitter off Adam Zampa with the score on 128/4 (26.1 overs) . .However, he failed to capitalise on the chance and was dismissed by the leg-spinner one over later .

With the team in trouble and the series on the line , the match was perfectly set for India to watch the capabilities of its World Cup hopefuls . Both Rishabh Pant and Vijay Shankar got the starts but failed eventually .
At that point , Australia had India by the scruff of their neck . But the pair of Kedar Jadhav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar worked very hard to resurrect the hopes  of Indians and take them closer to the target .

After electing to bat first Australia began quite well with the pair of Aaron Finch and Usman Khawaja bringing up their third half-century in this series . But it was Finch’s dismissal by Jadeja which sent a few alarms ringing about the surface as the ball gripped and spun sharply off the pitch . From thereon another 50-run partnership, this time between Handscomb and Khawaja took Australia to a commanding position (175/1 in 33 overs) . Then they keep on showing their game .

In the end Australia took the game . This tour of Australia to India made them won by 35 runs .

United need another Nou Camp Miracle By Utkarsh Gulati | 10th April, 2019 The United left-back gave Barca a deserved lead on 12 minutes when he deflected Luis Suarez's header into his own net, with the goal confirmed following a VAR review. United responded well by dominating the ball and threatening  Barca in front of the goal, but their chances went in vain for they failed to register a single shot on target in the Champions League for the first time since 2005.  Having overcome a two-goal deficit to knock out Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 United need to another moment of inspiration to progress to the semi-finals when they travel to the Nou Camp on April 16.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE ARGENTINE SUPERSTAR  By Utkarsh Gulati FC Barcelona are set to face Olympique Lyon in this year’s UEFA Champions League Round of 16 in a bid to add another trophy in their cabinet, but with their domestic rivals and European giants Real Madrid eyeing for a historic fourth UCL trophy in a row, the pressure to perform is immense on the Catalans this year. We sat down with the five times Balon D’or winner and the all-time goal scoring forward of FC Barcelona Leo Messi. The calm and collected Argentine is pretty confident about his claims of Barca going all the way through in the tournament this season despite getting embarrassed by the hands of AS ROMA last season in the Quarter Finals, a stage they have failed to qualify from for the last three years. “What happened last year was unexpected. ROMA got the better of us for we were not offensive in the second leg and that came to haunt us. We have learnt from our mistakes and are ready to break th...
