Kapil Dev running backwards from mid-wicket and pulling off a stunner to dismiss Vivian Richards off Madan Lal had changed the 1983 World Cup final. Back in 1983, the Indian audience had missed the live action of that catch, thanks to Doordarshan’s customary ‘rukawat ke liye khed hai’ impediment. But through several replays and video playbacks, it was etched on our collective memories. Ranveer Singh didn’t have the license to err. From his running steps to catching style and technique,…

The Suns and Warriors meet for the third time this season, and they’ve split the first two with each team protecting their home floor. Normally, this would mark a time for the NBA to bask in some holiday cheer.

Carroll has the potential to be a centerpiece player for the next contending D-Backs team and getting him back and healthy in 2022 should be No. 1 on the holiday…
