विराट- मयंक की फिफ्टी, मजबूत स्थिति में भारत

किंगस्टन सलामी बल्लेबाज मयंक अग्रवाल (55) और कप्तान विराट कोहली (76) की अर्धशतकीय पारियों की बदौलत भारत ने वेस्टइंडीज के खिलाफ दूसरे टेस्ट मैच के पहले दिन अपनी स्थिति मजबूत कर ली है। पहले दिन का खेल खत्म होने पर भारत ने 5 विकेट गंवाकर 264 रन बना लिए हैं। युवा बल्लेबाज ऋषभ पंत (27)और हनुमा विहारी (42)क्रीज पर डटे हुए हैं। वेस्टइंडीज के कप्तान जेसन होल्डर ने भारत के दोनों सलामी बल्लेबाजों को चलता किया जबकि चेतेश्वर पुजारा का विकेट पदार्पण कर रहे रहकीम कोर्नवाल को मिला। भारत ने घसियाले पिच पर लोकेश राहुल (13), चेतेश्वर पुजारा (6), मयंक अग्रवाल (55), कप्तान विराट कोहली (76) और उपकप्तान अजिंक्य रहाणे (24) का विकेट गंवा दिया है। मयंक अग्रवाल ने अपनी अर्धशतकीय पारी के दौरान 127 गेंद में सात चौके लगाए। इससे पहले वेस्टइंडीज के कप्तान जेसन होल्डर ने टास जीत कर भारत को बल्लेबाजी का न्यौता दिया। राहुल और अग्रवाल ने मुश्किल पिच पर पहले आधे घंटे बिना कोई जोखिम उठाए बिताया। वेस्टइंडीज के शुरूआती गेंदबाजों केमार रोच और शेनोन गैब्रियल पिच से ज्यादा फायदा नहीं उठा सके। कप्तान होल्डर ने सातवें ओवर में खुद मोर्चा संभाला और उन्होंने राहुल का विकेट लेकर पहले विकेट के लिए 32 रन की साझेदारी को तोड़ा। गेंद पिच पर टप्पा खाकर बाहर की तरफ निकल रही थी और राहुल के बल्ले का बाहरी किनारा लेते हुए स्लिप में खड़े कोर्नवाल के हाथों में चली गयी। छह फिट पांच और 140 किलो वजनी कोर्नवाल को कैच पकड़ने में कोई परेशानी नहीं हुई। राहुल ने 26 गेंद की पारी में दो चौके लगाये। पहले ड्रिंक्स ब्रेक के समय टीम का स्कोर 13 ओवर में एक विकेट पर 36 रन था। राहुल के आउट होने के बाद मैदान पर उतरे पुजारा एक बार फिर संघर्ष करते हुए दिखे। उन्होंने 15वीं गेंद पर खाता खोला और 25 गेंद में छह रन बनाकर आउट हुए। कोर्नवाल ने पुजारा का विकेट लेकर अपने अंतरराष्ट्रीय करियर का शानदार आगाज किया। (एजेंसी इनपुट के साथ)

भारत vs वेस्ट इंडीज: टीम इंडिया का टारगेट क्लीन स्वीप

किंगस्टनवेस्टइंडीज के खिलाफ दो मैचों की टेस्ट सीरीज का पहला मैच जीतने के बाद भारतीय टीम का मनोबल ऊंचा है। पिछले मैच में विंडीज टीम का प्रदर्शन अपने होम ग्राउंड पर बेहद निराशाजनक रहा था। टीम हर विभाग में जूझती दिखी थी। ऐसे में इस मैच में भी को कोई खास चुनौती मिलने की संभावना कम ही दिख रही है। हालांकि पिछले मैच में कुछ भारतीय खिलाड़ियों ने भी अपने प्रदर्शन से निराश किया था। लिहाजा, उनके लिए इस मैच में खुद को साबित करने का मौका होगा। पंत को परफॉर्म करना होगा युवा विकेटकीपर बल्लेबाज ऋषभ पंत को महेंद्र सिंह धोनी का उत्तराधिकारी माना रहा है। लेकिन, पहले टेस्ट मैच में वह पूरी तरह फ्लॉप रहे। इसके बाद कई पूर्व क्रिकेटरों ने उनकी जगह इस मैच में ऋद्धिमान साहा को मौका देने की बात कही है। हालांकि इस बात की संभावना कम दिख रही है। लेकिन, इतना तय है कि अगर ऋषभ को टेस्ट टीम में अपनी जगह पक्की करनी है तो उन्हें इस मैच में परफॉर्म करना होगा। पढ़ें: बदलाव की संभावना कमपिछले मैच के प्लेइंग XI में रविचंद्रन अश्विन को शामिल नहीं किए जाने को लेकर कप्तान की काफी आलोचना हुई थी। उनकी जगह रविंद्र जाडेजा को शामिल किया गया था। लेकिन, जाडेजा ने अपने ऑलराउंड प्रदर्शन से सभी को जवाब दे दिया। इसके बाद इस मैच में भी अश्विन को बेंच पर ही बैठना पड़ सकता है। पढ़ें: मंयक-पुजारा ने किया था निराशतेज गेंदबाजों ने जिस तरह का प्रदर्शन किया था इसे देखते हुए इस विभाग में भी बदलाव नहीं होंगे। बल्लेबाजी में ओपनर मयंक अग्रवाल और अनुभवी चेतेश्वर पुजारा ने निराश किया था। लेकिन, इन दोनों की जगह पर कोई खतरा नहीं दिख रहा। जहां तक विंडीज की बात है तो टीम पहले मैच में हर मोर्चे पर विफल रही थी। बल्लेबाजी में कोई भी बल्लेबाज अर्धशतक तक नहीं लगा पाया था। सबसे ज्यादा 48 रन रोस्टन चेज ने बनाए थे। पढ़ें: इन भारतीय रेकॉर्ड्स पर भी होंगी नजरें

• विराट कोहली इस मैच में जीत दर्ज करते ही टेस्ट क्रिकेट में सबसे ज्यादा जीत दर्ज करने वाले भारतीय कप्तानों के मामले में महेंद्र सिंह धोनी को पीछे छोड़ सकते हैं। दोनों के नाम अभी 27-27 जीत दर्ज हैं। धोनी ने 60 मैचों जहां इतनी जीत दर्ज की हैं वहीं विराट ने 47 टेस्ट मैचों में ही इतने मैच जीते हैं।
• 8 विकेट 118 रन देकर कपिल देव ने 1982-83 में लिए थे वेस्ट इंडीज के खिलाफस, जो कि किसी एक टेस्ट में किसी भारतीय गेंदबाज का सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्रदर्शन है।
• 1 विकेट और लेते ही ईशांत शर्मा एशियाई देशों के बाहर सबसे ज्यादा विकेट लेने वाले भारतीयों की लिस्ट दूसरे नंबर पर पहुंच जाएंगे। पिछले मैच में उन्होंने कपिल देव (155) की बराबरी की थी।

आज है हॉकी के जादूगर मेजर ध्यानचंद का जन्मदिन, जानें खास बातें

नई दिल्ली हॉकी के जादूगर का आज 114वां जन्मदिन है। आज ही के दिन सन 1905 में इलाहाबाद में उनका जन्म हुआ था। इलाहाबाद में पैदा हुए को खेल जगत की दुनिया में 'दद्दा' कहकर पुकारते हैं। ध्यानचंद के जन्मदिन को राष्ट्रीय खेल दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाता है। इसी दिन सर्वोच्च खेल सम्मान राजीव गांधी खेल रत्न के अलावा अर्जुन, ध्यानचंद पुरस्कार और द्रोणाचार्य पुरस्कार आदि दिए जाते हैं। इस बार खेल रत्न पुरस्कार पैरा ऐथलीट दीपा मलिक और पहलवान बजरंग पूनिया को दिया जाएगा। दद्दा के जन्मदिन के इस मौके पर जानते हैं उनसे जुड़ी 10 अहम बातें... 16 साल की उम्र में ध्यानचंद भारतीय सेना के साथ जुड़ गए। इसके बाद ही उन्होंने हॉकी खेलना शुरू किया। ध्यानचंद को हॉकी का इतना जुनून था कि वह काफी प्रैक्टिस किया करते थे। वह चांद निकलने तक हॉकी का अभ्यास करते रहते। इसी वजह से उनके साथी खिलाड़ी उन्हें 'चांद' कहने लगे थे। 1928 एम्सटर्डम ओलिंपिक गेम्स में वह भारत की ओर से सबसे ज्यादा गोल करने वाले खिलाड़ी थे। उन खेलों में ध्यानचंद ने 14 गोल किए। एक अखबार ने लिखा था, 'यह हॉकी नहीं बल्कि जादू था। और ध्यानचंद हॉकी के जादूगर हैं।' 1932 के ओलिंपिक फाइनल में भारत ने संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका को 24-1 से हराया था। उस मैच में ध्यानचंद ने 8 और उनके भाई रूप सिंह ने 10 गोल किए थे। उस टूर्नमेंट में भारत की ओर से किए गए 35 गोलों में से 25 गोल इन दो भाइयों की जोड़ी की स्टिक से निकले थे। इसमें 15 गोल रूप सिंह ने किए थे। एक मैच में 24 गोल दागने का 86 साल पुराना यह रेकॉर्ड भारतीय हॉकी टीम ने 2018 में इंडोनेशिया में खेले गए एशियाई खेलों में हॉन्ग कॉन्ग को 26-0 से मात देकर तोड़ा। क्रिकेट के सर्वकालिक महान बल्लेबाज माने जाने वाले सर डॉन ब्रैडमैन ने 1935 में ध्यानचंद से मुलाकात की थी। ब्रैडमैन ने ध्यानचंद के बारे में कहा था कि वहऐसे गोल करते हैं जैसे क्रिकेट में रन बनाए जाते हैं। विएना के एक स्पोर्ट्स क्लब में ध्यानचंद के चार हाथों वाली मूर्ति लगी है, उनके हाथों में हॉकी स्टिक हैं। यह मूर्ति बताती है कि उनकी स्टिक में कितना जादू था। ध्यानचंद की महानता का अंदाजा इसी से लगाया जा सकता है कि वह दूसरे खिलाड़ियों की अपेक्षा इतने गोल कैसे कर लेते हैं। इसके लिए उनकी हॉकी स्टिक को ही तोड़ कर जांचा गया। नीदरलैंड्स में ध्यानचंद की हॉकी स्टिक तोड़कर यह चेक किया गया था कि कहीं इसमें चुंबक तो नहीं लगी। ध्यानचंद ने 1928, 1932 और 1936 ओलिंपिक में भारत का प्रतिनिधित्व किया। तीनों ही बार भारत ने ल्ड मेडल जीता। एक मैच में ध्यानचंद गोल नहीं कर पा रहे थे। उन्होंने मैच रेफरी से गोल पोस्ट की चौड़ाई जांचने को कहा। जब ऐसा किया गया तो हर कोई हैरान रह गया। गोलपोस्ट की चौड़ाई मानकों के हिसाब से कम थी। बर्लिन ओलिंपिक में ध्यानचंद के शानदार प्रदर्शन से प्रभावित होकर हिटलर ने उन्हें डिनर पर आमंत्रित किया। इस तानाशाह ने उन्हें जर्मन फौज में बड़े पद पर जॉइन करने का न्योता दिया। हिटलर चाहता था कि ध्यानचंद जर्मनी के लिए हॉकी खेलें। लेकिन ध्यानचंद ने इस ऑफर को सिरे से ठुकरा दिया। उन्होंने कहा, 'हिंदुस्तान ही मेरा वतन है और मैं जिंदगीभर उसी के लिए हॉकी खेलूंगा।'
