Novak Djokovic to pursue legal action after Australia cancels visa

Novak Djokovic, the number one in the world, decided to challenge Australia’s cancellation of his visa.

According to a report in the “Sydney Morning Herald”, Djokovic had to be detained at Melbourne Airport for eight hours, but failed to lodge a complaint with border officials.

As the Australian border guards said he failed to provide proper evidence of entry into Australia, the defending Australian Open champion may now be ordered to leave Melbourne as early as Thursday night.

According to the guidelines, people who have not received the Covid-19 vaccine must show evidence at the border.

Australian Health Minister Greg Hunter confirmed that Australia cancelled the entry visa of the world’s number one Novak Djokovic on Thursday.

Earlier, Djokovic landed in Australia to participate in the Australian Open on the grounds of medical exemption. The specific vaccine exemption cited by Djokovic caused great controversy and aroused strong opposition from the Australian public. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Thursday that Djokovic is not an exception and the same rules will apply to everyone.

“Mr. Djokovic’s visa has been cancelled. The rules are the rules, especially on our borders. No one can override these rules. Our strong border policy for Australia is caused by the new crown virus in the world. One of the countries with the lowest mortality rate is crucial, and we will continue to be vigilant,” Morrison wrote on Twitter.

The Serbian, who won the Australian Open nine times, is the most successful player in the history of the tournament. He is currently tied with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in 20 professional Grand Slam tournaments.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
