Djokovic was taking on the highest-ranked opponent of his Melbourne campaign so far in World No. 6 Rublev, but he took command early and barely looked back in the pair's maiden Grand Slam meeting.

Mohammed Siraj becomes the new number one bowler in ICC Men's ODI Rankings
It's a remarkable rise for Siraj, who only returned to India's ODI setup in February last year following a three-year hiatus from the format and was even named in Men's ODI Team of the Year for 2022 on Tuesday.

IND v NZ: Conway blames lack of enough partnerships for New Zealand's 90-run defeat in third ODI
Chasing a mammoth total of 385/9l, New Zealand got off to the worst possible start as Hardik Pandya removed Finn Allen for a duck in the very first over. However, the early wicket didn't affect Conway and Henry Nicholls much as they raised 106 runs for the second wicket before Nicholls was out.
