Welcome to your sports round-up! Today, we're covering cricket, Scrabble, and hockey, bringing you the latest from around the world.
Kohli the Chaser: A Cricket Legend
Virat Kohli continues to cement his legacy as one of the greatest cricketers of all time. Australia captain Steve Smith has lauded Kohli as "arguably the best chaser" in ODI history. But what makes him so good?
While statistics undoubtedly play a role, it's Kohli's unwavering focus and ability to perform under pressure that truly set him apart. His aggressive batting style, combined with a strategic approach to chasing targets, makes him a formidable opponent. He consistently delivers match-winning performances, solidifying his place as a modern-day great.
"He is one of the best chasers I have ever seen, if not the best," said a cricket analyst.
Pakistan's Scrabble Prodigy
From the cricket pitch to the Scrabble board, we turn our attention to Pakistan, where a young prodigy is making waves. Bilal Asher, the world under-14 Scrabble champion, exemplifies the growing popularity of the game among Pakistani youth. In Karachi, schools and parents are actively promoting Scrabble as a tool for language development and future opportunities.
The roots of English in the country's colonial past provide a unique context for this trend. Scrabble is seen as a way to enhance language skills and open doors to future success. Asher's achievements are inspiring a new generation of Scrabble champions in Pakistan.

"It’s the fruits of what these kids have been working for," said Billerica coach, highlighting the team's commitment. With their sights set on the championship, Billerica is proving to be a force to be reckoned with.
