Kerrin Hands calls walking soccer "the biggest sport no one's heard of."
Back in the Indian team after a long gap of eight years, batter Karun Nair on Saturday expressed his delight and said he was "awaiting this call" after amassing big runs in the 2024-25 domestic season. Having last played in 2017, Nair was dropped from the team soon after becoming the second triple centurion in Tests from India. "Grateful to get back, happy and proud and fortunate. Found out like all of you found out (about his selection). Was eagerly awaiting the call, got a lot of messages from close ones," Nair said after playing a pivotal role in Delhi Capitals' six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in the IPL here.
Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are the most successful teams in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), having won five titles each. However, both sides are going through a recent slump, failing to qualify for the playoffs last season, and currently sit in the bottom half of the points table. While MI are seventh with six points, CSK sit rock bottom with just two wins so far. CSK beat MI when the two sides met earlier this season, but that win came under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) continued their poor home run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, registering their second successive defeat at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium following a loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) on Thursday. The Red and Gold outfit has looked like a different team this season, with their middle-order and bowling making contributions that give hope for a maiden trophy run. While they have looked unstoppable away from home, with three big wins against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and five-time champion teams Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), they have registered two back-to-back losses after posting totals in the 160s at Bengaluru.
Australia legend Ricky Ponting believes Rohit Sharma is still going strong and a sense of unfinished business was behind his decision to continue playing and leading India in the 50-over format until the 2027 ODI World Cup to be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Barring the ODI World Cup, Rohit has won all ICC titles while captaining India. He came agonisingly close to laying his hands on the 50-over world title at home in 2023, only to lose to Australia in the final.
Skipper Meg Lanning struck 69 off 49 balls as Delhi Capitals produced a solid batting effort to beat UP Warriorz by seven wickets and register their second win in the Women's Premier League in Vadodara on Wednesday. Sent into bat, UP Warriorz rode on opener Kiran Navgire's quick-fire half-century to post 166 for seven. But the total was not enough as besides Lanning, Annabel Sutherland played a crucial 35-ball 41-run knock and was ably supported by Marizanne Kapp (19 not off 17) and opener Shafali Verma (16 off 16). Delhi completed the chase with a ball to spare.
Vangelis Pavlidis scored his sixth goal in this season's Champions League to give Benfica a 1-0 win away to 10-man Monaco in the first leg of their knockout phase play-off tie on Wednesday. Pavlidis scored the only goal of the game three minutes into the second half in the principality, with Monaco handicapped in their comeback attempts as midfielder Moatasem al-Musrati was sent off shortly after. Benfica, twice winners of the European Cup in the 1960s, will now hope to finish the job in the return leg in Lisbon next Tuesday, February 18.
The new football rules are very much in their infancy, so drawing too many definitive conclusions at this early stage is something of a fool's errand.
