India vs Afghanistan 1st ODI Live Streaming: After a dominant win in the one-off Test, India are set to face Afghanistan in the first ODI of the three-match series on Saturday in Dharamsala. The spotlight will be on Rohit Sharma, who had a decent IPL season, although concerns over his fitness persist. Having nursed a hamstring niggle during the IPL, Rohit has now regained full fitness just in time for the series. Meanwhile, star batter Virat Kohli will miss the games due to a rare hamstring injury. With the 2027 ODI World Cup on the horizon, Shubman Gill and his team will be keen to test their squad depth against Afghanistan.
India are scheduled to play around 25 ODIs before the mega event, giving the team ample opportunity to experiment with players and combinations. However, the start to Gill’s ODI captaincy has not been smooth, with two losses in three series. Working alongside head coach Gautam Gambhir, Gill will be aiming to strengthen his influence in the dressing room.
Here are the live streaming and live telecast details of the India vs Afghanistan 1st ODI match:

IPL 2026 | Delhi Capitals Wins By 6 Wickets Against Mumbai Indians: Redemption For Sameer Rizvi
Nigeria’s Samuel Ogazi has won the men’s 400 metres gold medal at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games after producing a strong performance in the final.
Ogazi crossed the finish line in 44.25 seconds to claim the Commonwealth title and add another gold medal to Team Nigeria’s growing medal tally.
The Nigerian took control of the race on the final bend before pulling away from his rivals in the home straight to win comfortably.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Jereem Richards finished second in 44.82 seconds to take silver, while South Africa’s Zakithi Nene won bronze after clocking 45.21 seconds.
Ogazi’s victory adds another major athletics medal to Nigeria’s impressive campaign in Glasgow and further highlights the country’s strength in sprint events.
Fellow Nigerian Edidiong Okon Udo also featured in the final but finished eighth in 45.81 seconds.

The gold medal is another major achievement in Ogazi’s developing career and further establishes him as one of the leading 400m runners in the Commonwealth.
His impressive performance was one of the highlights of the athletics programme, as Nigeria continued to combine strong results in athletics and weightlifting at the Games.
For Ogazi, the Commonwealth title is a major step forward and another sign of Nigeria’s continued success on the international athletics stage.
Former wicket-keeper Deep Dasgupta remarked that Kuldeep Yadav has to be in the playing XI for the upcoming Tests against Sri Lanka at all costs, as opposed to his recent track record in terms of selection. The left-arm spinner missed out on the T20I squads for the England and Ireland tour as well as the Asian Games 2026. While he was named in the ODI squad, he did not get a chance during the 1-2 series loss against Harry Brook and co.
Kuldeep Yadav was not even considered for selection when both Jasprit Bumrah and Washington Sundar were ruled out of the series finale against England. On that occasion, the team management went with a four-pronged seam attack, but ended up losing the contest after conceding 387 in the first innings.
Since then, Kuldeep Yadav has been on a solid run for Yorkshire in the Royal One-Day Cup. The spinner picked up eight wickets in four matches, gathering some serious momentum ahead of the Test series in Sri Lanka.

Deep Dasgupta stated that the team management did not agree with the fans and pundits’ opinion of Kuldeep Yadav, and backs him to be in the playing XI in Sri Lanka.
“Kuldeep Yadav has to be in the playing XI, has to be. I was expecting him to be in the playing XI for that third ODI against England at Lord’s. Not only me, but a lot of the others were expecting him to be seen. Unfortunately, those making the team did not see him, that is a different issue,” Dasgupta said on his YouTube channel.
Kuldeep Yadav has featured in one Test in Sri Lanka in his career, where he picked up five wickets. It was also his first overseas appearance after a strong debut during the 2016-17 Border-Gavaskar series against Australia.
“Opportunity to play with even four spinners” – Deep Dasgupta backs bold bowling combination for SL vs IND 2026 Tests
The former India cricketer believes that the team management may have to think about fielding as many as four spinners in the squad, since the conditions might demand so.

“I think it is a good squad, based on the conditions there are more spinners than seamers. So, there is an opportunity to play with even four spinners, because it has happened it in the past as well, where both Sri Lanka and their opposition have walked out with four spinners. So, I think it was important to have that extra spin bowling option in the squad,” Dasgupta said.
“I think the squad was along expected lines, to be fair. Ideally, Washington Sundar would have been the first-choice off-spinner, but he is not there because of injury. I can’t think of any name that should have been in the squad, but is not there,” he concluded.
Team India handed off-spinner Saransh Jain his maiden national call-up after the injury to Sundar during the ODI series in England. The visitors also have other options like Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Manav Suthar in the squad.
The second half kicked off Saturday with what seemed a clear aim of ending Infantino’s decade-long presidency.
“No option should be off the table,” said European football body UEFA, whose president Aleksander Čeferin has led the fight against Infantino in a seismic week for FIFA.
“The current FIFA leadership has not only lost UEFA’s confidence but also that of many other members of the football family.”
Infantino was forced to scrap the plan early Saturday after his senior adviser who sat on a White House panel resigned and Asia’s football body joined Europe and North America in opposing it.

UEFA, the governing body of European football, issued its blistering statement hours after FIFA announced it was withdrawing its private equity plan.
“We cannot keep going on like this with secret schemes on fast-track timescales, cooked up by faceless individuals and of dubious benefit to the game,” UEFA said. “We must identify those responsible and hold them to account.”

“It is right that, in the coming days and weeks, UEFA will work with its associations and in close cooperation with other confederations to reflect on how this happened and devise a plan to make sure that it cannot occur again.”
Norwegian football federation president Lise Klaveness, an elected member of the UEFA executive committee, said steps must be taken to protect the integrity of the sport.
“The entire framework of international football cooperation was unnecessarily put at risk in pursuit of individual interests rather than the best interests of the game,” Klaveness said Saturday. ”This has been visible to many for a long time, including those of us elected to positions intended to safeguard checks and balances and provide ongoing oversight. We have to recognise that these mechanisms have not worked well enough.”
The president of the Asian football confederation, Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, said “the future of global football must always be shaped through proper consultation, collective dialogue and respect for the established governance structures of our game”.

Infantino’s audacious bid fell apart after UEFA’s 55-member nations agreed Thursday to boycott the World Cup and all other FIFA competitions. North America’s CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation also said they opposed the plan.

Infantino’s senior adviser, Carlos Cordeiro, a former Goldman Sachs banker who represented the football body on the White House Task Force for the World Cup, resigned on Friday and urged other senior FIFA staff to speak out.
Hours later, FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Lamour issued a statement to The Associated Press, saying FIFA staff were deceived by Infantino’s lack of openness in planning the sale over recent months and that the project must not continue.
“It is the project of one person,” wrote Lamour, a longtime colleague of Infantino at both FIFA and UEFA. “Not only must this project not go ahead … but the time has now come for football political leaders to ask themselves the right questions and make the right decisions.”
Infantino had proposed spinning off FIFA’s commercial businesses – including World Cups and Club World Cups for men and women – into a $20 billion subsidiary with 20 percent owned by private investors.
A tumultuous week in international football is at least the third time Infantino has rocked it with an ambitious plan many in the sport saw as reckless.
But the fallout from FIFA’s Kushner-backed plan is the first time UEFA has acted quickly to create momentum for removing the man who was its former long-time employee.
Advertisement
In 2018, Infantino pushed a secretive offer of $25 billion from Japan’s SoftBank to create new competitions that posed a long-term risk to continental events for clubs and national teams.
In 2021, Infantino proposed playing World Cups every two years instead of four – an idea that also angered the International Olympic Committee, where he is an elected member.
Both plans created big rifts in the sport and were eventually dropped by FIFA.
Despite the turmoil, Infantino was re-elected unopposed in 2019 and 2023.

The third time shapes to be different.
November 18 is the deadline for candidates to enter the next presidential contest, exactly four months ahead of the vote in Rabat, Morocco, where FIFA has its African headquarters.
FIFA statutes allow Infantino one more four-year term in office. The failed spinoff venture seemed like a way to create a commissioner-like role for Infantino beyond 2031, likely paying much more than his current annual salary and a bonus deal of more than $6 million.
It would take 106 votes to ensure a majority in a contested election. Continents surely do not vote uniformly en bloc, but most of Europe’s 55, plus Asia’s 46 and CONCACAF’s 35 FIFA members would be a solid base.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano can match his career high in wins when he faces the Milwaukee Brewers in the second game of their three-game series on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif.
Soriano (9-6, 3.29 ERA), rumored to be on the trading block heading into Monday’s trade deadline, won a career-best 10 games last season while also losing 11 games. It will be just his second career start against the Brewers. The first one didn’t go well.
Soriano’s final start of the 2025 season came Sept. 17 at Milwaukee when he was charged with the loss in a 9-2 setback. He allowed three runs on two hits and two walks in just 1 1/3 innings and left after taking a line drive with a 107.4 mph exit velocity by Jake Bauers off his right forearm.
Soriano walked off the field under his own power after that comebacker and X-rays of the arm were negative afterward, but he didn’t pitch again the rest of the season.
Soriano will be sad to see the calendar flip to August after a July that saw him go 1-1 in four starts with a 2.74 ERA. He allowed just 14 hits and seven earned runs in 23 innings with 16 strikeouts and comes in off a 4-3 victory at San Francisco on Sunday where he allowed one unearned run on three hits over five innings while striking out five.
Advertisement
“I thought he was really good today,” Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said after the game.
Left-hander Robert Gasser (3-4, 4.71), who never has faced the Angels, will try to give Milwaukee the series win. He is 3-1 with a 3.92 ERA in his last seven starts with 33 strikeouts in 39 innings pitched.
Gasser, who was obtained by the Brewers from the San Diego Padres on Aug. 1, 2022, as part of a trade for reliever Josh Hader, comes in off an 8-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday that saw him allow two runs on five hits in six innings with no walks and four strikeouts.
Advertisement
Milwaukee started a stretch of 17 games in 17 days with a 6-2 victory in Friday’s series opener. Brice Turang and Jake Bauers both homered during a five-run fifth inning, and rookie left-hander Shane Drohan allowed two runs on four hits over six innings to pick up the win.
It was Drohan’s fourth consecutive start of six-plus innings with six-plus strikeouts.
“He was fantastic,” Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy said of Drohan, postgame. “He was in control. This is a tough lineup for him to navigate with all the righties, and he did a great job. This kid has been, I don’t know how many in a row, but this has been probably six or seven in a row that he’s been in the sixth (inning). He’s kept us in every game he’s pitched.”
“Super impressive,” Bauers said of Drohan. “The guy is stone cold. He’s stone cold in the clubhouse, he’s stone cold in the dugout and he’s stone cold on the mound. I don’t know how he does it. It’s a pleasure to watch him pitch and work behind him.”
The Arizona Cardinals had some sleeper buzz heading into 2025 off the back of a solid season and a busy offseason. But they were quickly left behind in the NFC West and wound up with their worst record since the merger. As a result, the team is rebooting at head coach and quarterback, with Mike LaFleur taking over after three successful seasons as offensive coordinator of the Rams and former No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray now in Minnesota. This figures to be a bridge season to the team’s next franchise quarterback and, in perhaps the toughest division in football, the Cardinals are the favorite to win the fewest games in the league in 2026.
We’re taking a look at everything you need to know before making Arizona Cardinals futures bets below, including odds, trends, 2026 schedule, offseason changes and more before sharing our preseason betting strategy for the team. Odds are via DraftKings.
The Cardinals’ win total saw a slight dip after the Rams traded for Myles Garrett on June 1, with Arizona listed at Under 4.5 (-150) before the trade but -170 on that number after the trade, putting their standard win total down to 3.5 with juice on the Over. Their odds to win the NFC West also dropped from +9000 to +10000.

The Cardinals are coming off their worst season since going 3-13 in 2018 with by far the worst scoring offense in football the year prior to Murray’s arrival. That team finished -200 in point differential versus -133 for the 2025 Cardinals, a team that only got five starts from Murray and saw the defense finish 29th in scoring.

As alluded to above, the Cardinals weren’t nearly as bad as their record suggests, with their first five losses all by four points or fewer. The offense ranked 16th in yards per rush and ninth in third-down success rate, though the passing attack finished 26th in yards per play. While the defense finished 24th in yards per rush and pass play, it had trouble getting off the field, giving up the most first downs per game in the league.

With Murray gone, journeyman Gardner Minshew and third-round pick Carson Beck join the mix at quarterback to compete with Jacoby Brissett, but the biggest addition to the unit came on draft day when Arizona used the No. 3 pick to add Jeremiyah Love to the mix at running back, a controversial selection for a team with so many needs. Second-rounder Chase Bisontis and free-agent addition Isaac Seumalo will give the team a new set of guards, while Elijah Wilkinson will likely take over at right tackle for a rebuilt offensive line. Nick Rallis remains at defensive coordinator despite the regime change, and he’ll have to manage the losses of Jalen Thompson, Dalvin Tomlinson and Calais Campbell, among others. Only two Day 3 picks were used on the defensive side of the ball.

Arizona Cardinals futures picks
This doesn’t feel like great value, but it’s really the only way I’d be looking to bet the Cardinals this season. I don’t see where last year’s terrible defense (that didn’t even change defensive coordinators) got better, with the team more focused on fixing the offensive line and then using their top draft pick on a running back. New head coach Mike LaFleur did his best work under two offensive savants in Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay, and his one chance running an offense on his own resulted in two awful Jets seasons in 2021-22. The next two favorites for fewest wins are the Jets and Dolphins, who get to play each other and could take themselves out of the running if they can split the series. This season should be all about getting in position to draft the quarterback of their choice in 2027.
Hockey India’s decision to change the national team’s jersey colour from blue to saffron has now taken a political turn. The federation recently unveiled the jerseys for the men’s and women’s teams for the upcoming FIH Hockey World Cup, drawing sharp criticism over the move. Former captain Viren Rasquinha questioned the decision to move away from the iconic blue colour, calling it illogical. The controversy intensified when Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey wrote to the Executive Board members seeking clarity on the discussions and decision-making process that led to the change.
While the federation initially described the shift as a technical adjustment aimed at improving player visibility on blue turfs, Tirkey’s communication has revealed deep internal disagreements and apparent procedural lapses within India’s hockey administration.
As Tirkey’s remarks continue to gain attention, a report by The Indian Express has further fuelled the controversy. According to the report, five members from the men’s and women’s teams claimed they were not consulted before the decision was made.
Advertisement
“I wasn’t asked or consulted. It is not true,” one team member told The Indian Express on the condition of anonymity.
“I was not aware of the change in jersey colour nor was I part of an official meeting where this was discussed,” an executive committee member told the paper.
Captain Harmanpreet Singh defends the move
“We are not paying much attention to these things. It was a collective decision by the team and the coaches. There was no mistake in it,” Harmanpreet said during an interview with RevSportz.
Advertisement
Meanwhile, Indian hockey vice-captain Hardik Singh expressed his thoughts on the new Team India jersey for the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup, saying that the blue-coloured jersey would often clash with the blue-coloured Astroturf surface and that trying out the Orange colour is a “team strategy” and a “tactic”.
“The jerseys are very good. Because we want to try something new. Because our previous jerseys matched the AstroTurf. And we were facing some issues. And I think if orange jerseys are beneficial for us, then why not try that? This is the team’s strategy. It is a tactic. It is a strategy for us to try new things. For us, we are going to represent the nation. That is the most important thing for us right now. And, we want to leave India on a positive note,” Hardik told ANI.

McConnell may have taken the only gold but it was a successful Games for the boxing team as a whole with half of the 12-strong squad taking home a medal.
Michaela Walsh and Kaci Rock also leave Glasgow with a silver while Willie John McCartan, Garyn McAllister and Jude Gallagher, champion four years ago, all claimed bronze.
There was much made of the age profiles of the squad heading over to Glasgow, with eight aged 25 or under and nine competing at their first Games.
While Louis Rooney, Janssen Hill, Eoghan Quinn and JP Hale all fell at the first hurdle, they were the only four to not win at least one bout.

Nicole Clyde and Caitlin Fryers made it to the quarter-final stage while McCartan, McAllister and Gallagher exited at the semi-finals.
Some did receive the luck of the draw, with Walsh, Rock, Walsh, Hill, McAllister and McCartan going straight through to quarter-finals where they were one win away from a medal, but they still had to seize the initiative and push on.
For Walsh, it was a fourth successive medal at the Games, her third silver to add to the two from 2014 and 2018 and the gold from 2022.
She joins bowler Neil Booth, shooter Martin Millar plus Mike Bull and Lady Mary Peters from athletics on four medals at the Games.
Advertisement
Only shooter David Calvert has won more with eight.
She was “speechless” to hear her name mentioned among those greats, but her achievements demonstrate her longevity and she’s not finished yet.
“I’m proud of my performances throughout the whole tournament. I have Europeans now in six weeks and I’m using this as a springboard to that and I’m ready to go again,” she said.
“[Four medals] It’s obviously an amazing achievement. I’m lucky, I love boxing and I’m doing what I love. It’s a lifetime of work and it’s amazing for the medals to show that.”
Advertisement
While Walsh is used to such an occasion, it was easy for younger members of the team to be overawed at a first multi-sport competition, but Rock showed maturity beyond her years, particularly in fighting back to win the semi-final after losing the first round.
For Rock, like McConnell, it’s a first major medal at her first Games and she believes it is just the start for her and many of her team-mates.
“I think so many people doubted our team because we’re a younger, fresher and inexperienced team but we have six medals coming home.
“We’ve proven we’re only getting started and there’s so much more to come.”

The Colts were one of the best teams in the NFL over the first half of last season and entered their Week 11 bye with an 8-2 record. But that’s when the schedule turned brutal, with both games against the Texans and Jaguars down the stretch along with road trips to Kansas City and Seattle plus a home game against the 49ers. To make matters worse, starting QB Daniel Jones suffered an Achilles injury that left the team scrambling at quarterback. Jones’ recovery will likely dictate how 2026 goes for Indianapolis, as the Colts seem likely to head into the season with Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson again behind him on the depth chart.

The market hasn’t been impressed with the Colts’ offseason, as their win total market projection has dropped since the start of the offseason. However, if Jones continues to receive positive health updates after participating in drills at OTAs, that could change as Shane Steichen has managed to win at least eight games in each of his three seasons coaching the team while juggling quarterbacks.

Since last winning the division title in 2014, the Colts have managed fewer than seven wins twice and more than nine wins twice, with six seasons at eight or nine wins. The defining trait of that period has been instability at quarterback, as the team has finished with seven different leading passers in seven seasons since Andrew Luck’s surprise retirement.

The Colts ranking fifth in DVOA suggests their first half shouldn’t just be written off as solely due to their schedule, and Pythagorean wins (based on point differential) put them closer to a 10-win team than an 8-9 team. Not only did Indy rank top 10 in yards per pass and run play on offense, the Colts played strong situational football and led the league in goal to go situations. The defense finished second in yards allowed per rush but struggled more against the pass and ranked just 26th in sack rate.

Most of the Colts’ focus this offseason was on defense, including bringing in two potential new starters with their first two picks in linebacker C.J. Allen and safety A.J. Cauley. Not as much was done to address the mediocre pass rush with Arden Key the primary new face. On offense, the sole move of note involves bringing in Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to replace Michael Pittman in the offense, with the team’s loss at right tackle expected to be addressed internally after Jalen Travis played well in limited action as a rookie.

The Colts have a brutal three-game start to the season with facing the Ravens, Chiefs and Texans before a trip to London, so things could get ugly early, particularly if Jones isn’t ready for Week 1. They’ll get to scrap a road game for international play, and the schedule gets more manageable after that, with plenty of winnable home games on tap.

Indianapolis Colts futures picks
Steichen has worked wonders with what he’s been given during his tenure as quarterbacks have come and gone, but this team appears to be a house of cards ready to fall. I can’t expect the offense to look anything like it did last year with Jones coming off a major injury plus questionable receiving depth, and this team could be one or two key injuries away from focusing on the pursuit of the No. 1 overall pick, particularly with a tough opening two months on the schedule. Those looking to take a little more risk can throw a sprinkle on the Colts to finish last in the division at +245.
European football’s governing body UEFA welcomed the news on Saturday, calling it a “victory for the whole game.”
In a statement on Saturday, Infantino said: “Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place.”
What did UEFA say about Infantino’s scrapped plans?
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has lost the “confidence” of UEFA after his plan to allow private investment in the World Cup was withdrawn following a global backlash.
“The current FIFA leadership has not only lost UEFA’s confidence but also that of many other members of the football family,” UEFA said, while adding that the “task of rebuilding trust in FIFA” had only just begun.

While the European body welcomed the withdrawal of a proposal unanimously rejected by itself and also by other confederations, it did not hold back in its criticism of Infantino.
UEFA said “we cannot keep going on like this with secret schemes on fast track timescales”, and that now was the time for responsible parties to come together and prevent it happening again.
“It is right that, in the coming days and weeks, UEFA will work with its associations and in close cooperation with other confederations to reflect on how this happened and devise a plan to make sure that it cannot occur again,” they said.
UEFA said on Thursday that its members had unanimously agreed to boycott all FIFA tournaments, including the World Cup, unless the plan was withdrawn.
What were FIFA chief’s Infantino’s private investor plans?
Infantino’s proposal would have created a commercial subsidiary, the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), to run competitions like the World Cup, selling broadcasting and sponsorship, tickets and hospitality.
Under the plans, FIFA would sell minority stakes in FFE to private equity investors. The proposed investor consortium was to be led by “Thrive Eternal,” a fund run by “Thrive Capital,” which was founded by Joshua Kushner, the brother of US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
FIFA unveils controversial World Cup investor plan
Infantino’s plans met with global backlash
European teams are the reigning champions of FIFA’s three leading competitions, the men’s and women’s World Cup, and the Club World Cup.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and CONCACAF, which runs the sport in North America and the Caribbean, soon joined UEFA in condemning and rejecting FIFA’s plans, although they stopped short of threatening a boycott.

As the opposition to Infantino’s plans grew, his senior advisor Carlos Cordeiro resigned in protest on Friday.
Later on Friday, the world governing body’s chief operating officer, Kevin Lamour, slammed Infantino, saying the plans were “the project of one person” who had “deceived” FIFA staff.
