  The future of two teams depended on a single match. A win for Delhi Capitals would take them into the play-offs, while a defeat would have opened the door for Mumbai Indians. In the end, Delhi kept their composure and defeated UP Warriorz in the final league match to qualify for the Women’s IPL play-offs as the third team. The result meant elimination for defending champions Mumbai Indians, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, who paid the price for their earlier loss against Gujarat and finished fourth in the group. Batting first, UP Warriorz struggled right from the start. Captain Meg Lanning was dismissed for a duck, and although opener Deepti Sharma scored 24, no other batter in the top or middle order could make a meaningful contribution.

In the middle overs, Sri Charani chipped in with two...

  Coming from behind with remarkable composure, Carlos Alcaraz continued his dream run by conquering the Australian Open and asserting his dominance on the biggest stage. At the Rod Laver Arena, Novak Djokovic had briefly revived hopes of a historic 25th Grand Slam after taking the opening set, but those dreams were decisively shattered by the Spanish sensation. Alcaraz defeated the Serbian legend 2–6, 6–2, 6–3, 7–5 to clinch his maiden Australian Open title and complete a Career Grand Slam at just 22 years of age, becoming the youngest player in history to achieve the feat. Reaching the final itself had demanded extraordinary resilience from Alcaraz. In the semifinals, he endured a gruelling five-and-a-half-hour battle against Alexander Zverev, while Djokovic’s path, particularly his win over Jannik Sinner, was comparatively less exhausting. This raised a crucial question: could the 38-year-old Djokovic still match the energy and intensity of the youthful Alcaraz in a Grand Slam f...

  With the T20 World Cup just around the corner, Indian fans are once again dreaming of glory on home soil. The five-match T20I series against New Zealand was meant to serve as the final rehearsal. In the fifth T20I at Thiruvananthapuram, India posted a massive 271 and eventually restricted New Zealand to 225, winning the match by 46 runs and the series 4–1. While the margin looks comfortable on paper, the match itself exposed worrying signs, especially in India’s bowling. There are hardly any concerns about India’s batting. Suryakumar Yadav rediscovered his form at the right time, while Ishan Kishan produced a sensational century. However, the bowling unit told a different story. The performances of Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy failed to inspire confidence and left head coach Gautam Gambhir visibly concerned. The bowling attack that once turned matches around in the previous T20 World Cup now appears to be India’s biggest weakness. Another area of concern is Sanju Samson’...
