On the eve of the second Test in Visakhapatnam, Virat Kohli had hinted there might be a surprise in the India XI, but not even he would have thought the rabbit he pulled out of the hat could become such a hit. Jayant Yadav, on Test debut, provided his team with vital lower-order runs and then conjured a wicket out of nowhere in the field, and even made excellent use of the DRS..India finished the second day with a lead of 352 runs. That is massive enough on its own, but add to it England ending the day five down on a pitch that has been encouraging variable bounce and turn and there is little question over who has the upper hand. Jayant, a 26-year old offspin-bowling allrounder from Haryana, played no small part in tipping the balance. His first contribution was with the bat, showing stout defence against Englands spinners and the stomach for a fight against their fast bowlers, who targeted him with the short ball.Since the time I remember, since I have started playing serious cricket, not in the streets but in an academy, I have dreamt of this day, he told Star Sports after stumps. This dressing room is full of people who make you comfortable. KL Rahul, a recent debutant, told me what to expect on debut. Its good I didnt do anything yesterday, gave me time to process the emotions and formulate my plans.Also contributing to Jayants composure on the field was an old friend.Me and Jayant go a long way back actually, R Ashwin said at the post-match press conference. Two-three years ago he came down to Chennai, he was staying near my house for about two weeks. He practised with me and I know the boy really well. He is someone who can really understand what I say and we have a very, very good rapport. I felt really happy for him, the way he came out and batted positively. His body language was great. Every bit of communication between us was auguring into the partnership getting deeper, so I kind of enjoyed it. Very happy for him to have got his first wicket as well.The two of them put on a 64-run partnership for the eighth wicket that took India to 455. Jayant made that total look a lot bigger in the 21st over of the England innings, when he instigated a fantastic run-out. Joe Root placed a flick to the right of midwicket, from where Jayant made good ground to catch up with the ball. Only, instead of stopping, steadying himself and then throwing, he took another step forward, leapt up, and hurled a throw at the wicketkeepers end, having rotated his body to face the strikers end.Root, having watched all this, changed his mind about a second run and his partner Haseeb Hameed, who had come halfway down, couldnt scramble back in time. Wriddhiman Saha also had a hand in the dismissal, running forward to collect the ball and flicking it back onto the stumps, much like his predecessor MS Dhoni.Sometimes these kind of games are broken through run-outs, Ashwin said. And more than anything else, somebody like Jayant who is making his debut and getting such momentum through a run-out and then later on going to get a wicket, really happy for him.To cap it off, Jayant took his first Test wicket - Moeen Ali, lbw. The batsman had been down the pitch when he was struck on the pad, which factored into umpire Dharmasenas on-field call of not out, but Jayant felt he was struck in line. Saha must have known Moeen hadnt charged out too far and together they convinced Kohli to go for a review. It came back as three reds.With the review, Wriddhiman Saha did the job of convincing the captain for me, Jayant told Star Sports. We both thought it was out. Cant wait to start doing this again tomorrow. Jets Jerseys China . Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz.

CLEVELAND -- Before the Browns?unveiled a statue of Jim Brown on Sunday, the Hall of Fame running back made a lighthearted plea.I hope it looks like me, Brown quipped as he stood on the dais, the statue still covered by a tarp.When the statue was revealed a few moments later -- after a small glitch when a protective blanket around the statues head had to be removed by hand -- Brown, who retired from football 51 years ago, took it in and gave his approval, calling the statue fantastic.The statue is the first to honor the Browns history outside FirstEnergy Stadium. It was commissioned by team owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam in February and was sculpted by David Deming.Its a great moment, Brown said, because I feel it throughout my body, particularly in my heart and in my mind.In a ceremony attended by several former Browns players, coach Hue Jackson and Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, Brown said what meant a great deal to him was the diversity of people in attendance, including community representatives, members of the Browns front office and fans who ringed the outside of the presentation.When I look at the audience, Brown said, about 95 percent of the people I know personally, and most of them I know through [the] work that they do and the work that I do and the work that we do together in the community to make it a better community. And thats a fabulous kind of thing to feel, the diversity, the ones who have the money that hhave put up their money, the ones who work in the community and risk their lives.ddddddddddddThe statue shows Brown in stride, his body contorted as he seems to run to his right. Included is his signature face mask, with two single bars in front of his mouth.In a video shown before the unveiling, Deming asked Brown what he hoped the statue would convey. Browns answer: Determination.Jimmy Haslam had several options for the first statue -- legendary coach Paul Brown, quarterback Otto Graham and place-kicker Lou Groza among them. Haslam chose the guy who led the league in rushing in eight of his nine seasons.I think its pretty hard to argue with what Jim did as a player, Haslam said. Im sure youd get arguments from various franchises about whether hes the greatest NFL player of all time, even the greatest NFL running back, but I think itd be pretty hard to argue that hes not the greatest Cleveland Brown of all time.When you mention the Cleveland Browns -- and I never obviously had the opportunity to meet Mr. Paul Brown -- but when you mention the Cleveland Browns, I think the first thing everybody thinks about is Jim Brown. I think one of the reasons we have such a tremendous fan base today is that so many of us grew up watching Jim Brown play and remember 32 and how he dominated for nine years. ' ' '
