PM Modi is on a two-day official visit to Sri Lanka. The PM arrived in Colombo on Friday night for bilateral discussions and the signing of several key pacts between the two nations. Later on Saturday, he met the members of the Sri Lankan World Cup-winning side that defeated the Mark Taylor-led Australian team by seven wickets in the final at Lahore. "Cricket connect! Delighted to interact with members of the 1996 Sri Lankan cricket team, which won the World Cup that year. This team captured the imagination of countless sports lovers!" wrote the PM on 'X'.
The internet went on overdrive on Saturday when the official broadcaster showed footage of Pan Singh and Devika Devi, MS Dhoni's parents, during the Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals match in Chennai. It was the first time Dhoni's parents dropped in to watch an IPL game here since their son's association with CSK began in 2008. Dhoni's wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva too were in attendance, though they often attend IPL matches at Chennai.
CHENNAI: Lokesh Rahul led the way with 77 off 51 balls as Delhi Capitals beat Chennai Super Kings by 25 runs on Saturday to continue their winning start in the Indian Premier League. Rahul hit a maiden half-century for his new franchise, including six fours and three sixes, as Delhi notched up 183-6 in 20 overs. Abishek Porel contributed 33 off 20 balls. In reply, Chennai were restricted to 158-5 (20 overs), with their top-order lacking the firepower needed for such a chase. It was Delhi’s third straight win to start off this season — only the second time they have achieved this feat in IPL history, the last such occasion was in 2009. The Capitals thus climbed atop the points’ table with six points.
Hardik Pandya is under a lot of focus after Mumbai Indians' loss against Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL 2025 match on Saturday. The atmosphere was electric when Mumbai managed to bring the equation down to 29 needed from 12 deliveries in pursuit of a daunting 204-run target in Lucknow's home den. Lucknow skipper Rishabh Pant turned to the franchise's most experienced quick, Shardul Thakur, and handed the responsibility to see off the penultimate over.
Real Madrid vs Valencia LIVE Streaming, La Liga: Real Madrid take on relegation-battling Valencia as they aim to stay alive in the La Liga 2024/25 title race. With Barcelona leading La Liga and playing later on the day, Real Madrid will be hoping to beat Valencia. Los Blancos trail the Blaugrana by just three points, and need to win to keep the pressure on. However, many Madrid players were involved in the gruelling 4-4 draw in the second-leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final mid-week against Real Sociedad, so there may be some fatigue. Despite the threat of facing Arsenal in the Champions League next week, Carlo Ancelotti is unlikely to rest stars like Vinicius Jr, Kylian Mbappe or Jude Bellingham.
