Joshua making changesfor Ruiz rematchNEW YORK
Anthony Joshua says he has
been forced to make “drastic
changes” to his lifestyle in a
bid to win back the
heavyweight titles he lost to
Andy Ruiz earlier this year.
“There will be no aftershock
after the first fight. I will be
smarter. Getting knocked
down was good. If I am
smarter, I know I can pull it
off. I don’t want to say it will
be ‘Joshua 2.0 I know what I
was doing before was
working, I just have to tweak
little things and I will be
perfect,” he said. AFP

taking but Sanju holed out toJanneman Malan at sweepercover off�� George Linde.
Shikhar Dhawan (51) wascircumspect after taking ahit on the neck as he tried toplay the ramp shot off�� Beuran Hendricks. ‘However, heslowly found his rhythm toreach his second consecutive fi��fty. He fell soon after,charging at spinner Linde.
But his 137run stand withSanju for the second wicketfl��attened the visitors. Captain Shreyas Iyer cameo’s enabled the hosts set the visitors a daunting target.
Early wicketsThe South AfricaA chasewas scuppered by the fall ofearly wickets. However, KyleVerreynne and Reeza Hendricks took on the Indianspinners to raise hopes.
Kyle (44) played a few audacious strokes before Washington Sundar had himcaught at deep to end thethreatening thirdwicketstand. Reeza Hendricksplayed well for his halfcentury but didnt get enoughsupport from his teammates.‘

A starstudded Indian OilCorporation (IOC) hasn’tplayed very well, even theteam management admittedit as much. A few of itsplayers fell ill on arrival, afew have injuries. As a teamthat adjusts to the situationand plays well within its limitations, IOC has done thatreasonably well.
When it takes on CentralSecretariat (CST) in the semifi��nals of the MCCMurugappa Gold Cup AllIndia hockey tournament here onSaturday, it will hope its starplayers — all internationalsincluding Deepak Thakur,V.R. Raghunath, S.K. Uthappa, Aff��an Yousuf, GurjinderSingh and Roshan Minz —rise to the occasion andmake it count.
After a moderate performance, CST upped the antein a mustwin match againstPunjab and Sind Bank, witha thumping show. But it willhave to come up with so
mething special to overcomeIOC.
Under the radar
Punjab National Bank (PNB)was under the radar in itsfi��rst two matches. It lost badly to Bengaluru HA, butslowly got into the groovewith a win over Air Force.Against Indian Army, itplayed to a wonderful structure, defending well and attacking in waves.
Mandeep Mor showedwhy he is rated so high witha wonderful drag fl��ickagainst IOC in their lastgroup match for a 33 draw, agoal that ensured it reachedthe knockout.
PNB’s head coach Romesh Pathania will hope histeam puts up a strong showagainst Indian Navy, whichhas been the best team,without a doubt.
Possessing only a juniorInternational in Sunny Malik, Navy has been exceptional. If the performance inthe group stages is any indication, Navy will be the teamto beat.
