During Donald Trump's visit to India on Monday, February 24, the US President gave a special mention to cricket greats Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. However, he stumbled over their names. In a speech during a rally with the prime minister, Narendra Modi, at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad – the world’s largest cricket stadium – Trump incorrectly pronounced the name of India’s greatest ever player Sachin Tendulkar. Viewers noticed this and took to Twitter to comment on it. "Something about Donald Trump's pronunciation of Sachin Tendulkar tells me he isn't a huge cricket fan," @AndySilke wrote in reaction to the video.   The US President also has a problem pronouncing Virat Kohli's name, an error Twitter users feel a president shouldn't make, since he should have been prepared by practising the pronunciation of the names ahead of his speech. Reacting to Trump's error, Cricket’s governing body, the International Cricket Coun...

Tyson Fury has made his first social media post since his stunning victory over Deontay Wilder, wishing the Bronze Bomber a quick recovery while also calling him 'dance partner' of the century. Fury brilliantly beat the American fighter Wilder on Saturday night to become the new WBC world heavyweight champion in a much-anticipated rematch. He floored Wilder twice in a stunning display before the towel was thrown in by the Wilder's corner in the seventh round. Fury instead of taunting Wilder like many fighters do after beating an opponent, rather sent him a message of love alongside a picture of him kissing Wilder's forehead.                     Fury posting on Instagram, wrote: ‘Love and respect to the dance partner of the century, @bronzebomber #speedyrecovery’

Former Manchester United defender, Gary Neville, has compared Arsenal captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with the Gunners legend, Thierry Henry, after the Gabonese international scored a brace in his side’s Premier League 3-2 win over Everton on Sunday. Two goals from Aubameyang and a strike from Eddie Nketiah gave Mikel Arteta’s men all three points against Everton at the Emirates Stadium. Neville said Aubameyang’s first goal against the Toffees reminded him of Henry when the former France striker was playing for Arsenal. “Aubameyang’s first goal against Everton is a classic Thierry Henry’s goal,” Neville told Sky Sports. “Everything about the goal just reminds me of Henry. “How Aubameyang went through on goal, the sprint and finish including how he placed the ball far wide was brilliant. “That is how Henry finishes when he was playing for Arsenal but now it is Aubameyang. The Gabonese has a lot of paces and run.” Arsenal’s next fixture is against Olympiacos in the E...
