T20 World Cup | Quick Comment: Ishan Kishan deserves credit for making his own luck even as Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson ran out of it | Cricket News

4 min readFeb 15, 2026 08:36 PM IST Runs have flown at such a relentless rate from Ishan Kishan’s bat since his return to the India team that it feels difficult to fathom that he spent two years without a trace of his name in conversations regarding international cricket. It needed an immeasurable amount of fortune and runs in domestic cricket at the right time for Ishan to be named in the squad for the ongoing T20 World Cup. Against Pakistan in Colombo on Sunday, he put on another masterful T20 innings. His 40-ball 77 was not merely a bit of stat-padding. On a tacky pitch and having seen his partner in early destruction, Abhishek Sharma, depart for a duck in the first over, he manipulated fields and stepped out his crease with abandon, while his assessment of the conditions and ease in stroke play spoke volumes of his confidence and form.

African Nations Cup needs a World Cup winner to get the recognition it deserves | Football News

N’Kono was nicknamed the ‘Black Spider’ for his immaculate reflexes; he conformed to the African stereotypes of flashy attires, snake-hips that swayed during celebrations and was once arrested mid-match for allegedly performing black magic on the ground. He was not the only one in history too. As decades rolled on, numerous footballers from Africa became idols for young footballers in Europe and the world. George Weah became an icon in Serie A; Samuel Eto’o, Didier Drogba and Mohammed Salah were revered as club talismans; Africa hosted a World Cup, it would co-host one in 2030; it exports elite footballers (124 players across 62 clubs in Europe’s top five); scouts from Europe dig every corner of the vast continent in search of unpolished football gold as they once did real gold and diamonds; African nations continue to win admirers in World Cup; Morocco, semifinalists in Qatar, is a genuine powerhouse. …
