Deadly Crowd Crush Mars Celebration for Indian Cricket Championship
At least 10 people were killed and dozens were injured on Wednesday in a crowd crush outside a stadium in the Indian city of Bengaluru as thousands celebrated a Premier League cricket championship, officials said. The crowd had gathered outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium a day after the city's popular cricket franchise, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, had won its first title in the cash-rich Indian Premier League's 18-year history. A hastily arranged victory parade had been canceled after officials determined that the risk of a stampede was too great. But a celebration inside the stadium proceeded, with the team bused in instead of arriving by parade, and people were trampled at the gates as they tried to push their way in. Six bodies and 19 injured people were taken to Bowring Hospital in Bengaluru, the south Indian tech hub also known as Bangalore, said Manoj Kumar, its director. Officials at a second hospital, Vydehi, told reporters that four bodies and 12 injured people had been taken there. The authorities said the toll could rise further. 'It was a lot of pushing near the gates, and it was really difficult for the police and stadium staff to control the crowd,' said Siddharth H.N., a graduate student who had arrived to take part in the celebration. Opposition parties in the state of Karnataka, where Bengaluru is the capital, raised questions about the hasty arrangements for the festivities. 'The state government should take full responsibility for this tragedy,' B.Y. Vijayendra, the Karnataka chief of the Bharatiya Janata Party, which leads the national government but is in the opposition in the state, told reporters. 'The state government never cared about prior preparations. They were more interested in publicity.' Siddaramaiah, the chief minister of Karnataka, who represents the governing Congress party in the state, said the plan for a parade had been canceled after the crowd had become too large and unruly. 'This tragedy has overshadowed the joy of the victory,' he said on social media. The deputy chief minister, D.K. Shivakumar, said that 5,000 police officers had been deployed to provide security for a parade, but that they could not use force against the 'young, vibrant crowd' as it grew 'uncontrollable.' He declined to confirm the number of dead. The Indian Premier League is one of the world's richest sports leagues, and the Bengaluru team is perhaps its most popular. The loyal fan following is attributable in large measure to the longstanding presence of its biggest star, Virat Kohli, who has been its face since the league's inception. Late on Tuesday, the Bengaluru team finally seized its first championship, defeating the league's Punjab franchise in front of a crowd of more than 90,000 people in the western city of Ahmedabad.

Saints Play of the Day: Malcolm Jenkins saved the game after a 95-yard catch
Saints Play of the Day: Malcolm Jenkins saved the game after a 95-yard catch Jenkins saved a TD, set up a goal-line stand after a 95-yard catch There are 95 days to go until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2025 regular season, which makes this day-saving tackle by Malcolm Jenkins on a 95-yard catch by Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson our pick for the Saints Play of the Day, which you can see here. Trailing the Saints by a touchdown, 28-21, the Buccaneers offense took over at their own 5-yard line midway through the third quarter. Quarterback Josh Freeman took the snap and dropped back to throw from inside his own end zone -- finding Jackson had beaten Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson off the line. Strong safety Roman Harper broke on the pass too late, and Jackson corralled the catch with both defenders looking up at him from the turf. His mistake was thinking he was safe. Jackson began to pull up after crossing midfield into New Orleans territory, which gave Jenkins enough time to catch up to him. The free safety tackled Jackson a few yards short of the goal line, setting up the Saints defense for a stand with their backs against the wall. LeGarrette Blount tried to break through on three consecutive carries, but New Orleans denied him, and on fourth down they dropped Freeman for a big loss and turnover on downs. The Saints ended up winning in what had been a miserable start to their 2012 season, and it was largely thanks to Jenkins coming through in this clutch moment.

Former Liverpool star's son signs for Arsenal in LANDMARK deal
Once you become a Liverpool player, you enter into a family former, current and future players. Some might not be looked at as fondly as some of the others because of decisions they made when leaving the club, but they all donned the Liverbird on their chest at some point. Advertisement As you would expect, Trent Alexander-Arnold's legacy now falls into the camp of Steve McManaman and Michael Owen rather than Steven Gerrard. Each player's situation dictates how the fans see them. In the case of Raheem Sterling, the fans are largely in agreement that he will be booed - he was a homegrown talent who had made his way into the first-team at 18 years old, but after three years he left in search of greater playing time. In the grand scheme of things, his reputation is middling. Sterling's son signs for Arsenal Well, regardless of how his relationship with the fans is, you might've expected his children to follow his pathway and join the Liverpool academy if they wanted to become professional footballers. Advertisement However, the Englishman has decided to take his kids elsewhere, with North London's Arsenal taking his fancy, which could suggest one of two things. Firstly, the relationship with the Reds might be pretty non-existent now, given he spent seven years at Manchester City, so his time on Merseyside somewhat pales into insignificance. But secondly, his loan spell from Chelsea to Arsenal has seemingly made a big impression on him, despite the move failing to work out for either party in footballing terms. Sterling didn't get the minutes he was after and he was unable to a difference to the Gunners' attacking threat, perhaps due to a mis-match between the team and the player or merely a sign of decline. Sterling didn't get the minutes he was after and he was unable to a difference to the Gunners' attacking threat, perhaps due to a mis-match between the team and the player or merely a sign of decline. Advertisement Put simply, however, the academy at Arsenal is what has taken his attention from his most recent endeavour. It was announced yesterday that his nine-year-old son Thiago will be joining the program.
