PV Sindhu Exits In Pre-Quarters Of Japan Masters, India's Campaign Ends

India's campaign came to a premature end as double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu crashed out in the pre-quarterfinals of the Kumamoto Masters Japan Super 500 badminton tournament on Thursday. World no. 20 Sindhu was the lone Indian in contention after the exits of Lakshya Sen and women's doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand. Sindhu squandered a game lead to lose 21-17 16-21 17-21 against Canada's Michelle Li, ranked 23rd in the world, in a women's singles match that lasted one hour and 15 minutes. It was neck and neck between the two shuttlers in the first game before Sindhu took a marginal 11-8 lead and from there on kept her nose just ahead to take early advantage.

"It Will Be Retirement...": Ex-Australia Skipper's Explosive Take On Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli

Former Australian cricketer Michael Clarke expressed that if star India batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli fail to perform during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, they could retire from the format. With the first Test set to take place at Perth from November 22 onwards, two Indian veterans will be looking at a make-or-break BGT series after a horrific home season against Bangladesh and New Zealand. Speaking at ESPN's Around the Wicket podcast, Clarke said, "If it is their last time here in Australia, I think it will be retirement. They would not be dropped, but in the same breath, I think every cricketer knows that if you are not making runs or taking wickets, there will be conversations around that kind of a thing."

Goa's Snehal Kauthankar and Kashyap Bakle stitched up the highest partnership of unbeaten 606 in Ranji Trophy's history on day two of their Plate Group match against Arunachal Pradesh on Thursday.

By lunch, he was unbeaten on 305, with Bakle, who provided ideal support, poised on 280 not out.
