India go down to Jordan in friendly football match

Hamza Aldaradreh was played through behind the India defence on the 20th minute, but he failed to control the ball, as Gurpreet Singh Sandhu rushed off his line and collected the ball.

IPL 2022: Siraj missed a trick by not bowling an outswinger against Buttler, says Tendulkar
"Yashasvi's explosive start gave Buttler some breathing space. Buttler was batting on 6 after 7 balls. After that, he targeted Siraj as he knew the bowler was leaking runs. I think Siraj missed a trick against Buttler. He did not bowl a proper outswinger. He was bowling in-cutters with an angled seam and cross-seamed deliveries. He could have tried a regulation outswinger," said Tendulkar in a video on his Youtube channel on Saturday.
