The Karnataka batsman, who made his international debut during the last tour of the African country in 2015, has played only four One-Day Internationals (ODIs) but his unbeaten 104 against Australia to chase down a mammoth 332 in Sydney caught everyone’s attention. Notwithstanding the impressive performances, the fierce competition in the national side forced Pandey to warm the bench on most occasions but the 28-year-old now wants to make sure he is a regular member of the playing XI....

(Eds: Updating with quotes and other details) New Delhi, Jan 11 (PTI) Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul were Friday suspended pending an inquiry into their outrage-evoking comments on women during a TV show, ruling them out of the ODI series against Australia starting Saturday. The cricketers, who have been in the eye of a storm following their sexist remarks on ‘Koffee with Karan’, were omitted from the line-up for the opening match in Sydney....

At a media conference here, 29-year-old Advani, the only Indian to have won both World billiards and IBSF snooker championship, said he was finding it difficult to divide time between the two disciplines and also missing his family during long stays in England, where much of the professional snooker is being played. “It was a constant dilemma, having to decide between billiards and snooker, with tournament dates clashing and I finally reached the decision to let go of my pro tour card....

New Delhi, May 2 (PTI) Young Rishabh Pant cracked a blistering 69 while captain Shreyas Iyer (50) hit his fourth half-century of the season as Delhi Daredevils kept themselves in the race for IPL play-offs with a nervy four-run win over Rajasthan Royals here tonight. The Royals invited Daredevils to bat but were guilty of feeding the home batsmen with deliveries either too short or too full, making the job easy for the hosts after rain made it a 18-over per side affair....

But he has the footwork, instincts and coordination to make the baddest moves on the football field as arguably the best middle linebacker in the NFL. Kuechly has been named Sporting News’ Defensive Player of the Year and that comes as a shock to absolutely no one. A first-time Pro Bowler, Kuechly was fourth in the league in the regular season with 156 tackles. He also intercepted four passes and recorded two sacks....

The move will sideline Luongo for at least a week, and means that James Reimer will likely start Florida’s home opener Thursday against Columbus. The Panthers did not update the severity of Luongo’s injury Sunday. Luongo got hurt when teammate Frank Vatrano fell into him during Saturday’s second period. Reimer will be backed up, at least in the short term, by Michael Hutchinson. Florida signed Hutchinson over the summer in an effort to stockpile goalie depth, a move that Panthers coach Bob Boughner says was critically important....

While all of the characters on Paper Girls are full of depth, and they are definitely the strongest part of the show, Tiffany stands out, especially when she meets her adult self and learns what really happens to her in the future. RELATED: Paper Girls Review Camryn Jones plays Tiffany Quilkin on Paper Girls, a girl on the cusp of teenagehood who loves Math, science, and who dreams of attending MIT....

We already know a good deal about the story and gameplay details about Paper Mario: The Origami King from a recently-released trailer. However, there are still more details about the game that are capable of drawing some attention. In a recent interview with Game Informer, the development team spoke about the game’s structure and progression. Instead of the game being divided into chapters that take place in their own dedicated areas, players can travel from region to region in a seamless open-world design....

Pardew has overseen a dismal run of form since his appointment in November 2017 and leaves the club 10 points adrift of safety with six games remaining. Frank De Boer lost his job at Crystal Palace just four games into the Premier League season, while Craig Shakespeare (Leicester City), Ronald Koeman (Everton), Slaven Bilic (West Ham), Tony Pulis (West Brom) and Paul Clement (Swansea City) all left their clubs before the end of December....

The Original Poster (OP), known as u/PowerfulAd2907, posted about the situation in Reddit’s popular “Am I The A**hole” forum where it received nearly 11,000 upvotes and 3,000 comments.

Vixens Fitness in Paragould—a city in the northeastern part of the state—has since removed its entire Facebook page, where it originally announced the Pole4Kids class. The program was described as a pole-dancing class for mothers and their children to attend together. However, some families in the area expressed outrage for something they feel could sexualize children. Megan Brown, the co-founder of Hope Found of Northeast Arkansas, is one vocal critic speaking out against Vixens Fitness offering the program....

The Bianconeri have already tied up the signings of Federico Bernardeschi, Douglas Costa and three others this summer, while PSG look set to spend by pursuing a high-profile forward such as Alexis Sanchez or Neymar. Your complete guide to the ICC Both clubs have also lost key players over the past year or two, though, and face important pre-seasons as they look to put themselves in position to compete for the Champions League....

But this game was won because of Duke’s relentlessness on the offensive glass, a charge that was led Saturday night by Amile Jefferson. Duke pulled down 16 offensive rebounds that led to so many second-chance opportunities (that especially showed up among free throws, as the Blue Devils were 27-for-31 from the line compared to UNC's 14-for-19), and the avalanche was too much for the Tar Heels to overcome. It helped that James Michael McAdoo was in foul trouble much of the night, but rebounding is about attitude, and the Blue Devils brought plenty of that vs....

The Frenchwoman ended a 10-year drought on the Tour with her Istanbul Cup triumph back in April, but the wait for a fourth career title was much shorter thanks to this success in Quebec City. American qualifier Pegula, featuring in her maiden WTA final, showed few signs of any early nerves as she raced into a 4-1 lead in the first set, only to be broken back in game seven....

Age Related Wear and Tear of Facet Joints Facet joints are synovial joints, which means they come complete with a surrounding capsule and an inner self-lubricating capacity. This type of structure enables a normal, healthy facet joint to glide easily and smoothly, and perhaps most importantly, pain free. But facet joints are prone to wear and tear, especially as we age. In fact, it’s inevitable. While not all instances of wear and tear related degeneration will produce pain or other symptoms, degeneration does develop, at least to some extent, in anyone who gets old enough....

The announcement of Painkiller’s return is just one of the many to come from Koch Media. The German-Austrian company has been giving gamers a lot to look forward to this summer, thanks to the announcement of close to a dozen different games. Koch Media also introduced the gaming world to an all-new publishing label known as Prime Matter, which the newest Painkiller game will fall under. Game Rant attended a Koch Media pre-show where some information on the newest Painkiller game was provided....

The last time I saw Benazir Bhutto was in August 2007. We had tea at the Pierre Hotel in New York with her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, and their teenage son, Bilawal. “Look who I brought you,” she said to me, beaming a mother’s smile. I was happy to meet in person the young man whose birth had been a delicious political deceit. As we’d written in her 1989 memoir, “Daughter of Destiny” (Simon & Schuster), General Zia instructed his intelligence agents to determine her due date so he could time the elections to coincide with her confinement....
