MINNEAPOLIS: Five players and two coaches were ejected after a wild brawl broke out during the Minnesota Timberwolves’ clash with the Detroit Pistons in the NBA on Sunday.
After coming out to bat at the No. 9 spot, MS Dhoni featured as a No. 7 batter for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 6-run defeat against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Sunday. The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has seen Dhoni bat quite down in the order, ranging from No. 7 to No. 9. Having already produced a few fine cameos with the bat, there are many who wonder why the franchise isn't sending Thala up the order, at a position where his explosiveness can benefit the team more. After the defeat against the Royals, CSK coach Stephen Fleming solved this mystery, putting the topic to bed forever.
Eighteen-year-old Oh Jun-sung defeated French youngster Thibault Poret in a seven-game Men's Singles thriller to win his maiden WTT Star Contender title at WTT Star Contender Chennai 2025 on Sunday. In Women's Singles, 16-year-old Miwa Harimoto, an Olympic medallist in Paris 2024, defeated her compatriot Honoka Hashimoto 4-2 to win her first crown at this level. Earlier in the day, Manav Thakkar's historic run came to an end in the penultimate round, leaving him as the sole Indian male player to have reached a WTT Star Contender Semifinal. South Korea's Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin, meanwhile, won the Mixed Doubles title with a straight-games victory.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) played out a hard-fought match in IPL 2025, with the latter narrowly winning by six runs. However, after the game, Indian cricket fans got to witness a heartwarming moment. Despite defeat, CSK talisman MS Dhoni walked up to embrace and share a light moment with RR's head coach Rahul Dravid, who was on crutches. Dravid had suffered a leg injury before IPL 2025 after getting injured in a local match in Bengaluru, and was in a wheelchair until recently.
Chennai Super Kings' 'Thala' MS Dhoni produced another unfulfilling performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. Taking up the No. 7 spot in the batting order, Dhoni produced a few fireworks before getting caught in the deep by Shimron Hetmyer on the bowling of Sandeep Sharma. Seeing Dhoni depart, the entire Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati went silent despite it being the home ground of the Royals. Fans were hoping to see another successful chase from the bat of the master MS Dhoni, but Hetmyer ensured that he didn't let that happen by taking a brilliant diving catch at the deep mid-wicket boundary.
Rajasthan Royals leg-break spinner Wanindu Hasaranga's love for South Indian movies was the underlying factor behind his 'Pushpa' style celebration against Chennai Super Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The Sri Lankan ball tweaker's four-wicket haul inspired the Royals to their first win in the 18th edition of the cash-rich league on an action-packed Sunday. Out of his four scalps, Hasaranga punched the return ticket of the Super Kings batters, a ball after conceding a maximum on three occasions.
ROME: Victor Osimhen left in September. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia departed in January.
GUWAHATI, India: Nitish Rana’s batting blitz combined with a four-wicket haul by Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga led Rajasthan Royals to their first victory of this IPL season against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Rajasthan depended on a 36-ball 81 by Rana to post 182-9 after being invited to bat first at their second home in Guwahati. Hasaranga then turned on the heat with his leg-spin to help restrict Chennai to 176-6 and a six-run win to bounce back from two losses in the T20 tournament. The left-handed Rana put on 82 for the second wicket with Sanju Samson to lay the foundations. Afghanistan left-arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmad once again proved his worth as he broke the stand with the wicket of Samson, who is Rajasthan’s regular captain but playing only as a batsman due to an injury. Rana reached his fifty in 21 balls and bludgeoned the bowlers with 10 fours and five sixes in his stay at the crease. Veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin cut short Rana’s knock as he had the batsman stumped to check Rajasthan’s surge. Stand-in-skipper Riyan Parag hit 37 off 28 balls before being bowled by Sri Lankan pace bowler Matheesha Pathirana. Pace spearhead Khaleel Ahmed dismissed Jofra Archer for a duck for his second wicket. Noor and Pathirana both returned figures of 2-28. In Chennai’s reply, Archer struck in the first over to have Rachin Ravindra caught behind for a duck as he celebrated his first wicket this IPL season. Archer had a disastrous start to the tournament when he went for 76 in his four overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad for the league’s most expensive bowling figures ever. Hasaranga struck with his first ball to send back Rahul Tripathi before skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad attempted to put the chase on track
