Aditi Chauhan feels that the under-17 team is not short on preparation for the upcoming World Cup despite the absence of senior nationals in the country since 2019.

But Aditi feels the Indian team is on the right track and would be one of the sides to watch out for in the U-17 Women's World Cup.

Indian Premier League. A total of 70 matches were played since March 26 and this year's cricketing extravaganza was no different than its predecessors -- bringing out the highest quality of cricket almost every single evening over the last one and a half months. Restricted to just 4 venues due to Covid, the groundsmen at the Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne Stadium, DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai and Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune did a fantastic job to ensure that the pitches, which had to be reused, did not bring down the quality of cricket. Balls disappearing into the stands, stumps cartwheeling and fielders defying gravity, taking supernatural catches -- almost every match in the league phase was a blockbuster movie in itself, giving goosebumps and bringing out a wide range of emotions from the fans.
MUMBAI : Liam Livingstone was unable to fire Punjab Kings into the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs but the season's most expensive overseas player is pleased that his performances have at least silenced the critics.
Liam Livingstone took a stunning catch in the field to get rid of Abhishek Sharma and continued his good work with the willow as Punjab Kings defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets in the last league match of the IPL. That the match had no bearing on the chances of both the teams making the playoffs did not stop the crowd from thronging the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday night. AS IT HAPPENEDBut SRH lost the plot midway through their innings after Abhishek and Rahul Tripathi put them on course with brisk knocks. They settled for 157 for eight, thanks in the main to a late charge in the last five overs that fetched them 61 runs. With Shikhar Dhawan (39; 32b, 4x2, 6x2) playing the sheet anchor, the Punjab batsmen went after the SRH attack with gusto. Jonny Bairstow set the tone and though he failed to cash in on a reprieve by Umran Malik off Washington Sundar, the batsmen who followed him down the order wasted little time in helping the team finish the match at 160 for five with 4. 5 overs to spare and finish sixth in the standings.
Nikhat Zareen became the fifth Indian to win a gold medal at the Women's World Boxing Championship when she defeated Thailand's Jitpong Jutamas 5-0 in the fly-weight (52kg) final in Istanbul, Turkey on Thursday. Nikhat was in top form as she used her technical acumen and covered the court well to outwit her nimble-footed opponent. Nikhat thus joined the likes of Mary Kom, Sarita Devi, Jenny RL and Lekha KC to win a gold at the World Boxing Championships. After the historic win, Nikhat said in an exclusive interview to NDTV: "Logo ka bhai hoga, woh toh meri jaan hai. Salman, I am his huge fan. It's my dream to meet him. My dream is to first win the Olympic medal and then go directly to Mumbai and meet Salman Khan."
