After losing the final of 2022 World Test Championship and the 2023 ODI World Cup, the Rahul Dravid-coached side finally got their hands on the world title in 2024, beating South Africa in the ICC T20 WC decider in Barbados.   

India's medal count rose to 20 in Paris, including 3 golds, 7 silver and 10 bronze, breaking the previous best of 19 medals set in Tokyo 2021. Indian para athletes won five medals in the track and field on day 6. 

The last meeting between these sides was back in June in a friendly and it ended 2-1 in favour of Croatia. Luka Modric and Ante Budimir netted either side of Diogo Jota's equaliser.

With a second successive defeat against Bangladesh at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Pakistan becomes only the second team to lose a home Test series against all 10 Test-playing nations. Bangladesh is the only other team to have achieved this dubious distinction.

Duminy is a former South Africa cricketer, who has played 326 international matches and scored 9154 runs across formats. The all-rounder has played for four IPL teams  across eight seasons between 2009 and 2018. 

Duminy is currently also South Africa's white-ball batting coach, having taken up the role in late 2023. The 40-year-old, who has played more than 300 international matches across all formats, was the batting coach of Sharjah Warriorz in the last edition and now steps into a larger leadership role. 

With three wins from six Test matches, Bangladesh have a PCT of 45.83, slightly better than that of England (45). The Three Lions have won eight of their 15 Tests so far.  India are currently sitting at the summit of the table with a PCT of 68.52, while Australia (62.5) are at the second position.

At the 2024 Paris Paralympics there will be 96 athletes from around the world competing in six medal events in wheelchair tennis. The matches will be held at the iconic Roland-Garros Stadium.

Bangladesh needed 185 runs for victory and they achieved it without much trouble thanks to opener Zakir Hasan's  better than run-a-ball 40, and useful contributions from captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (38) and Mominul Haque (34).
