NEW DELHI: Ishan Kishan was the undisputed star with the bat as India sealed the T20I series against Zimbabwe on Saturday, but it was a comical run-out miss behind the stumps that had social media buzzing long after the final ball.

The wicketkeeper-batter, who smashed a brilliant 81 off 44 deliveries to earn the Player of the Match award, became the centre of attention for an amusing fielding lapse during Zimbabwe’s chase. Kishan later saw the funny side of the incident, joking about it during the post-match presentation.

The viral moment came in the 15th over when Zimbabwe’s Tadiwanashe Marumani nudged the ball towards deep backward point. A mix-up between the batters left both stranded near the bowler’s end, presenting India with what appeared to be a straightforward run-out opportunity.

However, Kishan casually underarmed the throw towards the stumps, seemingly believing the batter had already made his ground. The throw neither hit the stumps nor reached Ravi Bishnoi for a backup attempt, allowing Zimbabwe to escape.

Realising what had happened, Kishan immediately placed his hand on his head with a sheepish grin as teammates and fans were left in disbelief.

Anthony Joshua looks to clear the final hurdle ahead of a long-awaited clash with Tyson Fury as he takes on Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.

‘AJ’ will compete in his first significant bout under the coaching of Team Oleksandr Usyk after his event with Jake Paul last year. The fight also marks his return following a tragic car crash in Nigeria, which killed two of his closest friends, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele.

In the opposite corner is Albania’s Prenga, who has 20 knockouts from 20 wins and just one defeat, but has fought nowhere near this level. The 35-year-old is seen very much as a warm-up for Fury – a fight that could be finalised and announced as early as next week if ‘AJ’ does the business.

Nowacki becomes just the fifth person to ever win a Commonwealth Games medal while representing Jersey.

The last time Jersey made it onto the podium was in 1990 when Colin Mallett won the island’s only gold medal in fullbore shooting, before teaming up with his father Cliff to win pairs bronze.

Four years earlier, bantamweight boxer John Sillitoe won bronze in Edinburgh, while Jersey’s first-ever medal was also in the ring when Albert Turmel won welterweight bronze in Perth in 1962.

Islanders have won medals for England – diver Dot Macready won 10m gold in 1934, while more recently Serena Guthrie was part of the England team that won netball gold in 2018.

In 2006 Rebecca Herbert was part of the England hockey team that won bronze, while there were two bronze medals in 2002 for islanders representing England – Elizabeth Cann in badminton and swimmer Simon Militis in the 200m backstroke.

With two more events to go, Nowacki has the chance to equal Colin Mallett as the only islander to win two medals.

But at the age of 18 who would bet against the swimmer going on to become the most decorated Commonwealth Games athlete in Jersey’s history?

As it relates to veteran receiver DeAndre Hopkins, Minnesota could be confronting a “now or never” scenario. The Vikings FA option and former All Pro is getting an opportunity to see if he wants to start his coaching career, doing so over in New England.

On Friday, Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team sent along the update: “#Patriots HC Mike Vrabel says WR DeAndre Hopkins is with the team helping out in a potential coaching/personnel role as he figures out his future and what he wants to do next.”

Others made note of the development.

Mike Reiss, for instance, wrote, “DeAndre Hopkins is here visiting the Patriots, per Mike Vrabel, with Vrabel saying Hopkins is considering the possibility of a coaching career.” Various other spots — Sports Illustrated, Yahoo Sports, and so on — commented on the news on social media. Why all the fuss?

Vikings FA Option DeAndre Hopkins May Turn to Coaching

Hopkins, 34, is getting very close to the end of his career. As the dalliance with coaching suggests, the time may be over as it relates to Mr. Hopkins catching passes on Sunday.

In his prime, Hopkins was among the best in the game.

For the Vikings, the intrigue largely rests in his capacity to shore up the depth alongside his built-in chemistry with Kyler Murray. The pair played together with the Cardinals, putting a fright into corners for several seasons. Hopkins’ best year in Arizona arrived in 2020 — Justin Jefferson’s rookie season — a year where he tossed up 115 catches, 1,407 yards, and 6 touchdowns.

DeAndre Hopkins commands a pile of respect around the NFL as an accomplished talent who works hard and who has proven to be a winner. He understands the game well and is a leader, making his transition to coaching a logical move. Plus, he has a connection to Patriots coach Mike Vrabel from their shared time together with Tennessee in 2023.

That is, of course, as long as no team comes calling.

The NFL’s website passed along the news (among various other spots) that Hopkins wanted to play alongside Murray again. Since that time, the Vikings have added Jauan Jennings, seemingly eliminating the need for an older receiver who boasts good size and high compete. At the same time, though, Tai Felton has appeared to stumble, creating some intrigue about how things will unfold for the depth receiver jobs.

In 2025, Mr. Hopkins played for the Ravens, serving in a depth job. He had 22 catches for 350 yards and a pair of touchdowns. PFF was impressed by his play, tossing over an impressive 81.3 grade for his efforts.

In all likelihood, the Vikings will desire young, cheap talent in the WR4 and WR5 jobs. Hopkins therefore faces an uphill battle to command one of those spots in Minnesota even if he did sign for a bargain deal. Think 24 instead of 34 as the age that will create the most interest here.

Furthermore, there will be an emphasis on those players contributing on specials. Whoever functions as a depth receiver isn’t likely to demand a ton of targets within the Kevin O’Connell offense.

As a result, these depth guys need to find a way to help the team without getting the ball a ton. Being a bulldozer as a blocker would be a nice way to prove one’s value. Or, perhaps, be like Myles Price, who is an assassin as a returner. Hopkins doesn’t appear to be an option on specials apart from perhaps the “hands team” for an onside kick.

DeAndre Hopkins would add value to the Vikings. He’ll someday get into the Hall of Fame as one of the best of his generation. For several months, though, Minnesota could have signed him but opted not to do so. Seeing Hopkins put pen to paper to formalize a coaching contract could be the final move in ending the speculation.

With four fourth places in Birmingham in 2022, Richards was looking for his first Commonwealth medal to complete the set of Olympic, world and European podium positions.

Wales opted for an entirely different quartet in the pool in the final after Kieran Bird, Harry Milne, Medi Harris and Meghan Higgs had qualified fourth fastest in the heats.

Sutton and Taylor had qualified for their respective individual semi-finals in the 100m backstroke and 100m breaststroke, but both pulled out with a full focus on the relay.

The policy paid off and Taylor brought Wales back from fifth to third on the final leg.

Earlier, Rose Williams finished fourth in the women’s S14 200m freestyle final.

The S14 category covers swimmers who have an intellectual impairment, which typically leads to the athletes having difficulties with regard to pattern recognition, sequencing, and memory, or having a slower reaction time, which impact on sport performance in general.

Tyler Melbourne-Smith finished sixth in the 400m freestyle final, while Lewis Fraser qualified for the 100m butterfly final to be staged on Sunday evening.

Eve McMahon has claimed a bronze medal at the Los Angeles Sailing Grand Slam on the waters that will host the sailing competition at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

McMahon secured her place on the podium after a composed performance in Friday’s Final Series in San Pedro, California, bringing to a close a week of racing against many of the world’s best Olympic sailors.

Racing took place inside the bay in ideal conditions of 10–13 knots of breeze, with both McMahon and fellow Irish sailor Finn Lynch having qualified for the new-look Final Series.

The Women’s Dinghy (ILCA 6) Final Series began after a short delay while the light morning breeze settled across the course. Starting the day level on points for third overall, McMahon delivered when it mattered most, finishing third in the opening Final Series race to strengthen her grip on a medal position.

She backed that up with a fourth-place finish in the final race to secure the bronze medal, ending the regatta just two points behind silver medallist Charlotte Rose (USA) and four behind Britain’s Hannah Snellgrove, who took gold after leading for much of the week.

World Championships in Dublin

Looking ahead to the rest of the season, the multiple Olympic medallist added, “We’ll take a short break now before getting straight back to work preparing for the World Championships in Ireland in September. There’s still plenty to improve, but that’s where our focus is now. Racing for a world title on home waters is a huge opportunity and we’ll do everything we can to be ready.”

In the men’s Finals, Finn Lynch began the day in fourth position but an entanglement with two competitors at one of the marks resulted in a first final race finish of 10th putting the medal opportunity out of reach. Lynch finished the regatta with an eighth place that gave him a final position of seventh overall. The final result was bittersweet in that Lynch missed a medal but will now have the confidence to know he is a contender for the podium in two year’s time.

Paris 2024 Olympic champion Matt Wearn secured gold, with Cyprus’ Pavlos Kontides taking silver and Britain’s Michael Beckett completing the podium.

Attention now turns to the ILCA World Championships in Dún Laoghaire, Dublin, with the ILCA 7 World Championship taking place from 23–30 August and the ILCA 6 World Championship following from 5–12 September. This will be the first time since 2001 that Ireland has hosted a World Championship for an Olympic sailing class, presenting the Irish sailors with a rare opportunity to compete for a world title on home waters.
