NEW DELHI : Megan de Cler's participation in the ongoing women's boxing world championships, defying a boycott by the Dutch federation, and the withdrawal of Kosovo's Donjeta Sadiku have added to controversy at the event in New Delhi.
IPL side Delhi Capitals has joined hands with Microsoft chief executive officer Satya Nadella to own and "operate" the Seattle franchise in the Major League Cricket (MLC), a new T20 franchise league in the USA. The team has been named Seattle Orcas. Orca is a killer whale found in the ocean around Seattle. The league is scheduled to be launched this July. IPL's most successful teams -- Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings -- are also associated with the new league.
This champion is going to rise again, flamboyant former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh said of Rishabh Pant after meeting the wicketkeeper-batter, who is recovering from the multiple injuries he suffered during a horrific road accident. Having made one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the sport, Yuvraj knows a thing or two about what it takes to come back from the brink. Soon after his exploits in the 2011 World Cup, Yuvraj was diagnosed with cancer, for which he took treatment in the US before making a comeback to Indian team.
Delhi Capitals' newly-appointed skipper David Warner said they "have big shoes to fill" this IPL season with Rishabh Pant indisposed and vowed to put in extra effort to lift the title in the India star's absence. Named skipper for the upcoming season in Pant's absence, Warner sent out a special message for the Delhi franchise's regular captain, who is currently undergoing rehab and recovery.

Former England captain Paul Collingwood heaped praises on India's star player Virat Kohli. He said that the batting maestro is back in form and now he is "a threat to all countries". After a wait of 1205 days, Virat Kohli last week finally registered a Test century, bringing up three figures on day four of the fourth Test against Australia in Ahmedabad. Kohli brought up his 28th century in the format. There was a gap of 41 innings between his last Test hundred and this one, with the previous one coming over three years ago against Bangladesh in November 2019. The right-handed batter scored 186 runs as his knock played a crucial role in helping India play out a draw with Australia and eventually book a World Test Championship final with Australia.
A fine bowling performance, coupled with Laura Wolvaardt (57) and Ashleigh Gardner's (51 not out) battling half-centuries helped Gujarat Giants defeat Delhi Capitals by 11 runs and take sweet revenge for their 10-wicket loss earlier, in a Women's Premier League match in Mumbai on Thursday. Chasing 148 for victory, Delhi Capitals were bundled out for 136 in 18.4 overs, with their entire top and middle-order, including captain Meg Lanning (18) and Shafali Verma (8), failing to impress. Marizanne Kapp was the highest run-getter for Delhi Capitals, scoring a 29-ball 36 and her run out at the team's score on 97/6 took the wind out of the side's sails. Tailenders Arundhati Reddy (25) and Shikha Pandey (8 not out) provided some entertainment with a 35-run partnership but to no avail.
