Serbia demands Australia to stop treating Djokovic as ‘criminal’

Serbian Foreign Minister Nemanja Starovic asked Australia to move the world’s number one Novak Djokovic to a better hotel because the defending Australian Open champion remained in immigration detention after his visa was cancelled center.

This request was a real waiver after Victoria’s Acting Prime Minister Jacinta Allen revealed that the Australian Tennis Association had not notified the government of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s government letter.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Starovic said in a statement: “We hope that the ambassador will take action personally to allow him to move to a residence suitable for the best athletes in the world, not criminals or illegal immigrants.”

Starovic also said that the Serbian people believe that Djokovic has become a victim of the Australian political game.

Djokovic won his court bid on Thursday and was therefore not immediately expelled, which allowed the defending Australian Open champion to stay in Melbourne at least until Monday. Djokovic decided to challenge Australia’s cancellation of his visa. After he had to be detained at Melbourne Airport for eight hours, he decided to fight it, but there he presented his case to border officials, but was unsuccessful.

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 apply to everyone.

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.
