These are not the early days of T20, like you saw in the nascent days of 50 overs cricket in which scores of even 125 in 50 overs or 183 in 60 overs were defended successfully by India. This is the T20 era where players grow up in this format and are going to make mincemeat of the opposition when the target is well within their reach and the conditions are perfect for batting. The Indian team under Virat Kohli may have had six full non-match days between their first and second games, and the skipper remarked at the toss as a matter of fact, “it’s ridiculous we are playing two matches in 10 days”.
Unlike many other sports, the men’s football tournament at the Olympics is not a top-level tournament, and since 1992, an under-23 tournament with each team allowed three over-age players. Due to the success of the Olympic football tournaments, FIFA, with President Jules Rimet as the driving force, again started looking at staging its own international tournament outside of the Olympics. On 28 May 1928, the FIFA Congress in Amsterdam decided to stage a world championship itself.
Three players share the record for playing in the most World Cups; Mexico’s Antonio Carbajal (1950–1966) and Rafael Márquez (2002–2018); and Germany’s Lothar Matthäus (1982–1998) all played in five tournaments. Matthäus has played the most World Cup matches overall, with 25 appearances. Brazil’s Djalma Santos (1954–1962), West Germany’s Franz Beckenbauer (1966–1974), and Germany’s Philipp Lahm (2006–2014) are the only players to be named to three World Cup All-Star Teams. Brazil, Argentina, Spain and Germany are the only teams to win a World Cup outside their continental confederation; Brazil came out victorious in Europe , North America and Asia . Argentina won a World Cup in North America in 1986, while Spain won in Africa in 2010.
The cumulative viewership of all matches of the 2006 World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet. There’s always planning going into the game, but this was a great performance against a side that puts up a fight. The surface wasn’t easy to find rhythm on, and the way the openers came out really set things up for the chase. It’s just about adapting to the conditions as well as we can. The way the spinners kept applying pressure was commendable and it was a complete performance.

The World Cup happens every four years in order to have enough time for the qualification tournaments and playoffs among national teams to take place. Additionally, four years provides the host country adequate time to plan the logistics of the tournament and how to best accommodate an influx of millions of fans. Men’s football has been included in every Summer Olympic Games except 1896 and 1932.
He did not bowl in the warm-up games and the first game. He was then taken to scans after being hit while batting. India are missing the 6th bowler and Pandya has been playing as a finisher.
The rotation policy was introduced after the controversy surrounding Germany’s victory over South Africa in the vote to host the 2006 tournament. However, the policy of continental rotation did not continue beyond 2014, so any country, except those belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments, can apply as hosts for World Cups starting from 2018. This is partly to avoid a similar scenario to the bidding process for the 2014 tournament, where Brazil was the only official bidder. In 1914, FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic tournament as a “world football championship for amateurs”, and took responsibility for managing the event.
