After India's crushing 10-wicket win against England in the third Test in Ahmedabad, which saw the contest get wrapped inside two days, several former cricketers were highly critical of the pitch. Many, including India's 2011 World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh, felt it was not an ideal track for a Test match.

There are some highly-coveted quarterback prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft, but not all of them played the same level of competition. When it comes to results against Power Five opponents, one of the quarterbacks sticks out for the wrong reasons. Right now, there are five quarterbacks who are projected to go off the board in the first round — Trevor Lawrence , Justin Fields , Mac Jones , Trey Lance , and Zach Wilson.
