BCCI CEO Rahul Johri has written a letter to the global cricket governing body, International Cricket Council (ICC), urging it to ensure safety of Indian players in the upcoming ICC tournaments in the aftermath of the dastardly Pakistan-sponsored terror attack in Pulwama that killed more than 40 Centra Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers on February 14. “This communication is being addressed to voice the BCCI’s concerns and sentiments that have emerged after the recent dastardly terrorist attack which was carried out on Indian soil by a terror outfit based out of Pakistan which resulted in the death of 44 (sic) Indian security personnel,” Johri wrote in the letter, a copy of which is in possession of IANS....

While many have recalled her on-court achievements and memorable moments on the tennis court, there have been a few who share a closer relationship with Williams and gave an insight into the lesser talked-about side of the American’s life. Former men’s No. 1 Andy Murray, in one such instance, spoke about Williams’ funny side. On being asked to share something interesting about the 23-time Major winner during his post-match press conference, Murray, who played doubles with Williams at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships, said she made plenty of funny comments to ease out their equation — something the Brit said he wasn’t expecting....

Pant’s 21-ball 49 helped Delhi chase down a target of 163, sealing a spot in the Qualifier 2 against Chennai Super Kings. “The dangerous Rishabh Pant was still around, and he showcased his ability with a savage assault on Basil Thampi.

Rituals seems to put an emphasis on minimalism, from the length of the game to the style of the graphics. The polygonal style works in this case due to the smart color schemes that reflect the mood of each environment. There is a nice juxtaposition between the sterile indoors and the richness of nature, and the often unnaturally saturated color palettes of certain settings tend to help delineate between reality and hallucination....

Ronaldo 10/11 to be CL top scorer The Portuguese superstar has faced criticism this season on the back of an uncharacteristically inconsistent opening to the 2017-18 campaign. Having seen a five-match ban deny him the chance to build early momentum, the four-time Ballon d’Or winner did not register his first La Liga goal until October 14. Ronaldo has, however, still managed to find the target 11 times in 16 appearances this term and is being backed to lead another trophy chase at Santiago Bernabeu....

If Saints Row is known for one thing well, it’s the ridiculousness it embraces. When the series moved away from the Grand Theft Auto-esque realism after its second installment and began to embrace a slightly crazier feel, gamers were won over by the bizarre plot, over-the-top dialogue, and general campiness of the world and gameplay. The game’s affinity for the outrageous carried over into the realm of weaponry as well and over the years the franchise has put us in control of some of the craziest video game guns we’ve ever come across....

Fast-forward to October 2013, and the series appears to be back in rude health, topping 1 million unit sales during its first month of release and garnering a warm and widespread reception from critics.

Scheduled to arrive alongside a slew of new in-game items, ranging from spaced-aged (and absurdly powerful) weapon types to Sci-Fi inspired mission modes, the content also introduces 10 wholly new achievements, as unveiled online today....
