At the MCG, India’s Virat Kohli single-handedly snatched the match away from Pakistan and won it for India. He scored an unbeaten 82 runs knock and mark his presence at the 'Big G'.

India’s Golden Man:

How can we forget Neeraj Chopra when we are talking about the Indian sports top moments? Unfortunately, he could not participate in the  Commonwealth Games due to an injury, but he made sure to cover up for that at the World Athletics Championships. He became only the second Indian and the first Indian male to win a medal at the World Athletics Championships. Neeraj also became the first Indian to win the Diamond League title in September.

The BCCI declared that both men and women will be getting the same match fee.  They will be getting INR 15 lakhs for the Test, INR 6 lakhs for ODI, and INR 3 lakhs for the T20I. Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary took to his Twitter handle and wrote, “I’m pleased to announce BCCI’s first step towards tackling discrimination. We are implementing a pay equity policy for our contracted BCCI women cricketers. The match fee for both Men and Women Cricketers will be the same as we move into a new era of gender equality in Cricket".
