The triumph of spiritIndia's remarkable come-from-behind victory, after being 0-2 down against Brazil, ensured the country's place among the Davis Cup powerhouses. It was for the 45th time in the history of the championship that a team had pulled off such a dramatic victory. By Kunal Diwan.
Dramatic rally from the jaws of defeatRohan Bopanna did the unthinkable by clinching India a historic first-ever win from being 0-2 down. High on his U.S. Open doubles final, Bopanna rose even higher against Brazil in the World Group play-off, and with him soared India, retaining its spot in the World Group, writes Kunal Diwan.
Alex Ferguson seems to have unearthed a gem in Mexico's Javier Hernandez and has been praised for having the intuition to clinch the deal before the World Cup started. By Tom Bowles.

Immortal conquestThe success in the Cooch Behar Cup, Gladstone Cup and a hat-trick of victories in the Trades Cup saw Mohun Bagan play in the prestigious IFA Shield, mainly a preserve of the British sides, as the first ‘native' outfit.

The news is so bad Imagine you are, for instance, Jonathon Trott and Chris Broad, the England batsmen who set a world record in the third Test against Pakistan. Their celebrations lasted only a few hours before they learned that there were allegations against Pakistan that meant their great rescue act may have been tainted. By Ted Corbett.
