JEDDAH : Al-Nassr ensured all three Saudi Pro League sides reached the Asian Champions League Elite semi-finals as Stefano Pioli's side handed Yokohama F Marinos a 4-1 defeat on Saturday.
In a gesture of respect and solidarity, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) paid tribute to the victims of the terror attack in Pahalgam before the IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at the Eden Gardens here on Saturday. To honour those who lost their lives, a minute's silence was observed before the start of play. KKR and PBKS players also wore black armbands during the match to pay tribute to the victims of the terror attack. The customary ringing of the Eden bell, which has been the tradition for several years before the start of a match, was not done on Saturday as a mark of respect.
Punjab Kings all-rounder Glenn Maxwell's abysmal form continued in the IPL 2025 as he was dismissed for just 7 against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday. Maxwell, who was bought in the mega auction for Rs 4.2 crore, returned to the playing XI after two matches but he was dismissed cheaply by KKR spinner Varun Chakravarthy. Before this match, Maxwell scored just 41 runs in the competition leading to a lot of criticism from both fans as well as experts. On Saturday, Maxwell made a tentative start to his innings and although he did slam a boundary, the Australian international was clean bowled on the very next boundary. Former India batter Suresh Raina was not happy and delivered a brutal verdict on the struggling star.
Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou insists he has moved on from his “boyhood” crush on Liverpool as he targets being a party pooper at Anfield on Sunday.
Shreyas Iyer, former Kolkata Knight Riders captain, will be back at the Eden Gardens - this time as Punjab Kings skipper for an IPL 2025 match on Saturday. Iyer was instrumental in leading KKR to its third IPL title in 2024. Even after that title-winning run, Iyer was not retained. After KKR's decision, Iyer had said: "Yes, obviously disappointed, because when you don't have a certain line of communication and if you get to know things one week prior to the retention date, then obviously something is lacking over there. So I had to take a call. Whatever is written is supposed to happen. But other than that, I would just like to say that the time I spent over there with Shah Rukh Sir, the family, all of them, was phenomenal."
Virat Kohli and K L Rahul will headline the battle of anchors while Mitchell Starc versus Josh Hazlewood in the pace department can only add more spice to the contest between the in-form Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL in New Delhi on Sunday. Things can change rather quickly in the IPL but on current form, both DC and RCB are expected to make the play-offs. Two points at the Feroz Shah Kotla will significantly help the winning team in that context.
April 26 : Jannik Sinner held onto his world number one ranking ahead of his return from a three-month doping ban, but the Italian does not expect his comeback to be as smooth when he takes to the court again at the Rome Masters next month. Sinner has not played since winning the Australian Open at the start of the season and accepted a ban in February following a deal with the World Anti-Doping Agency, which had challenged a tribunal’s decision to clear him after two positive tests. The 23-year-old was allowed to return to training on April 13 and his suspension will end on May 4, before his competitive return at the Italian Open, which gets underway three days later. Sinner, who spent time building fitness mindful of the French Open starting on May 25, was assured of retaining the top ranking for his home tournament after his closest challenger Alexander Zverev crashed to an early defeat in Monte Carlo. “We’re training very hard. Hopefully we’ll get some momentum going again ahead of the clay season.
Bryson DeChambeau opened with an 8-under-par 63 to take a one-shot lead over fellow major champions Cameron Smith and Jon Rahm at LIV Golf Mexico City on Friday. DeChambeau eagled his first hole of the day, the short par-4 second at Club De Golf Chapultepec, and was 4 under through three. He carded just one bogey before finishing birdie-birdie-par-birdie. In the thin air of Mexico City, DeChambeau averaged 370 yards per drive with three 400-yard drives, per a reporter. “Yeah, 370 is about right,” DeChambeau said.
