These were Sachin Tendulkar’s words to Yuvraj Singh before the start of the Cricket World Cup 2011. With the next edition is around the corner, the Indian team has many things to be worried, but what it needs the most is a person to recreate the magic created by Yuvraj Singh in the last World Cup. Vomiting blood, chronic coughing, observed while even on the field, coupled with breathing problems: this man overcame them all and fought for the game’s biggest trophy as if his life depended on it....

One such cyclist is Ghaziabad’s Sanjeev Sharma, who recently completed the coveted Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) ride, a 1,200 km route from Paris to Brest in Brittany on France’s Atlantic coast, and back to Paris in 81 hours, 22 minutes and 20 seconds at the speed of 14.93 kph. The history, prestige, and challenge of PBP attract riders from around the world, and the fact that it is only held every four years merely adds to the sense of occasion....

The light pink walls and sturdy iron gates are manned by a thick-set security guard, who offers a friendly welcome before letting you through to the crisp, white main building and a sweeping tree-lined path that ducks down to the gymnasium and a football pitch bearing the name of the institution’s most famous former pupil. Children aged from three in kindergarten through to the eldest at 17 attend Colegio Valsassina at a monthly cost of around €600....

A Universal Vaccine Against COVID Three years into the pandemic, scientists are still engaged in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the coronavirus: They devise a vaccine that provides immune protection, only to have the virus mutate into a form that at least partially evades that protection. It happened in 2021 with the Delta strain of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, and has continued through a succession of Omicron sub-variants. To outsmart the coronavirus, scientists have been working on vaccines that are more broadly effective against SARS-CoV-2 and all its variants—and perhaps against other coronaviruses that harass us humans....

That’s right, college football’s most prolific pass-catch combination paid their dues on East Carolina’s “Scout Team O.” Carden, a two-star quarterback from Texas, took snaps at wide receiver, tight end and even a few at linebacker. Hardy, an in-state walk-on who played quarterback as a senior in high school, adjusted to the only available role at slot receiver. Somewhere in those one-sided reps, the fast-talking Hardy made a bold prediction for Carden....

The Good — The “Krusher” roars back to set himself up for the golden ticket. All Sergey Kovalev had to do was go to his hometown of Chelyabinsk, Russia and take care of Anthony Yarde and a likely showdown with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in November would be at the proverbial end of the rainbow. Yarde didn’t make it easy as his speed confused Kovalev in the first couple of rounds. When Kovalev figured it out by blasting Yarde with the jab and keeping him at bay and looking to have control of the fight, Yarde nearly finished him off in the eighth round by landing a series of hard shots that staggered Kovalev....

There was the miracle of Southern Indiana, where he took over a program that had won 10 games and in three years won the Division II national championship. TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS: East | Midwest | South | West There was the miracle of Milwaukee, where he took over a program that never had been to the NCAA Tournament and got them to two, including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2005. And there was the grandest of all, at Tennessee, where he took over a team that had gone 14-17 and won the SEC East title in his first season....

Credit-file freezing is relatively new. Two years ago only four states had laws allowing it; now 39 states and the District of Columbia do. When you freeze your file, nobody—not even you—can use it to open a new account. You can lift the freeze temporarily if you want to apply for a mortgage, car loan or new credit card yourself. “We recommend that everyone consider it,” says Gail Hillebrand of Consumers Union....

Garcia won back-to-back titles in Wuhan and Beijing, beating Simona Halep in the final of the latter to move past Konta in the Race to Singapore rankings at the start of this month, but withdrew from the ongoing Tianjin Open with an injury. Her withdrawal gave Konta an outside chance of qualifying for the Oct. 22-29 event, although she would have had to reach the finals of the Moscow tournament to overtake Garcia....

As confirmed in a recent update for Friday the 13th: The Game, the single player component will be stratified into three separate components that link together to create the entire experience. A standout element of the impending mode is the challenges that come bundled with it, which Illfonic’s Casey Holtz revealed will pay homage to the classic Friday the 13th film series. Holtz dished up details on the new mode, which wasn’t available at launch, in a new post on the game’s subreddit....

The announcement was made by ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, who received word from Hunter Campbell, the UFC’s Chief Legal Officer. UFC 272 takes place on March 5 from inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This will be the first major non-title PPV fight since 2015 without Conor McGregor or Nate Diaz. Masvidal and Diaz fought inside Madison Square Garden in 2019, for the BMF championship, but the fight was set to main event without the title at one point....

He’s out now. An HBO stand-up concert called “Bring the Pain” that first aired last June raised Rock from semi-obscurity to the ranks of Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. An album version of this edgy, killingly funny concert, titled “Roll With the New,” will be released by Dream Works Records next month. He’s got his own half-hour talk show on HBO, kicked off with Johnnie Cochran and Prince last week....

Take away the warm winter sunshine and palm trees and it could almost be, well, Britain. And that’s how the good folk of Gibraltar like it. To be sure, the tiny colony lies 2,000 miles from the mother country, at the southernmost tip of Spain. And yes, the view from the famous Rock (that vast hump of limestone) takes in Africa. But so what? Three centuries of British rule have made Gibraltar into everything a patriot would hold dear....
