Riding on his title-winning run at the Orleans Masters Super 300 tournament, India's Priyanshu Rajawat jumped 20 places to achieve a career-best world ranking of 38 in the latest BWF rankings issued on Tuesday.

Former Indian cricket team coach Ravi Shastri has lashed out at the Indian pacers for getting injured too often. It is worth noting that the Indian pace department has been constantly dealing with the injuries to players. Some star pacers like Deepak Chahar and Jasprit Bumrah have been struggling to recover properly. Shastri pointed out that recurring injuries to fast bowlers is frustrating for both -- the BCCI and the franchises. He added that the pacers need to make sure that they recover properly before making a comeback.
Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Rinku Singh was at his best on Sunday as he slammed five sixes in the final five balls to help his side register a historic three-wicket victory over defending champions Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2023 game. KKR needed 29 runs off the final over and barely anyone would have imagined the side to win the game. Umesh Yadav took a single on the first ball to give the strike to Rinku, who slammed five sixes off the last five balls to take his side home.
Delhi Capitals continued their winless streak in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 as the David Warner-led side slumped to a six-wicket loss against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday. With 5 runs needed in the final over, MI looked quite comfortable but disciplined bowling from Andrich Nortje put pressure on Cameron Green and Tim David. With 2 runs needed in the final ball, David played the ball straight to Warner at deep mid-off but his wayward throw to Abhishek Porel allowed the batters to complete the double and seal the victory. In a video going viral on social media, head coach Ricky Ponting and Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly were seen reacting to the effort.
Rohit Sharma created history with a well-deserved fifty for Mumbai Indians during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter against Delhi Capitals on Tuesday. The knock proved to be crucial for his side as they registered their first win of IPL 2023 with a last-ball finish. Thanks to the half-century, Rohit became the highest run-scorer against DC with 977 runs from 33 matches. Kohli held the top position with 925 runs but he was dethroned after the match-winning knock from the Indian cricket team skipper. Rohit enjoys an average of 32.56 and a strike rate of 131.14 in IPL.
Virat Kohli slammed his 46th half-century in the Indian Premier League on Monday against the Lucknow Super Giants. The former RCB captain reached the 50-run mark in 35 balls, registering his second fifty of the season. However, it took Kohli 10 balls to move from 42 to 50 and his batting approach did not go down well with former New Zealand player Simon Doull, who was commentating the match. Doull felt that Kohli was "concerned about the milestone".
Novak Djokovic made a winning return to competition in the Monte Carlo Masters on Tuesday but was made to work by his 198th-ranked Russian opponent as two-time defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced when his rival retired injured. Djokovic is back on court after failing to get a waiver to enter the United States for last month's Indian Wells tournament and Miami Open due to his anti-Covid vaccination stance. The world number one was in danger of losing the opening set against Russian qualifier Ivan Gakhov before easing through 7-6 (7/5), 6-2 in 1hr 47min.
The Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians registered its maiden win in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 as it defeated Delhi Capitals by six wickets in a last-ball thriller at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. It was MI's first win in three matches, one which saw the team climb to the eighth spot (2 points in 3 games, NRR -0.879). For DC, it was the fourth straight loss in as many games as it remained at the bottom of the 10-team table (0 points, NRR -1.576). Lucknow Super Giants (6 points in 4 games, NRR +1.048), Rajasthan Royals (4 points in 3 games, NRR +2.067), Kolkata Knight Riders (4 points in 3 games, NRR +1.375) and Gujrat Titans (4 points in 3 games, NRR +0.431) hold the top-four places.
