When Mark Zuckerberg famously said: "The biggest risk is not taking any risk", KL Rahul ought to have paid attention. The India player is too good a batter to not take on the bowlers at any stage of a game, but his conservative middle-overs approach did not help Lucknow Super Giants' cause in the eliminator against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
India's Rohan Bopanna and his Dutch partner Matwe Middelkoop marched into the pre-quarterfinals of the French Open men's doubles event with a straight set win over Andrey Golubev and Fabrice Martin here on Thursday.

Lovlina Borgohain has been elected as the chair and a voting member on the Board of Directors for the Athletes' Committee, the International Boxing Association (IBA) said on Thursday. Borgohain received the highest number of votes during the election held at the 2022 Women's World Championships. "I feel honoured to have been elected as the chair of IBA's Athlete's Committee, I expected to become a member, but never thought that I will also become the chair of the committee, this will help me promote Indian boxing and especially women boxing to other boxers of the world," Borgohain said in a release.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore found an unlikely hero in their Eliminator match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 against Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday. Batting first, RCB's top batting stars like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell failed to get going but the unheralded Rajat Patidar, playing only his seventh game of the season, scored 112* as his side reached a massive 207/4 in 20 overs. The Du Plessis-led team ultimately won by 14 runs and booked a berth in the Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals.
Indian hockey, the script has been differently written since the 1980 Moscow Games. India's Olympic hockey legacy in an unmatched feat spread across eight gold medals. But it's also one that had gathered dust over decades and is littered with rare triumphs, occasional near misses, frustrating mediocrity and the nadir of wooden spoons -- until the Tokyo Olympics arrived. The team in Tokyo, like many of its predecessors since 1980, had to blow that dust off history pages in search of inspiration. It happened, and the effort resulted in a podium finish -- a bronze medal after a 41-year wait. With that medal came an opportunity -- an opportunity to become ruthless on the field, an opportunity to woo back the fans who were once again talking about hockey, an opportunity to manure the sport and help it grow like in the distant past, an opportunity to revive the legacy. But what has followed is over-experimentation and lack of transparency.
British tennis star Emma Raducanu has revealed the struggles of adapting to life on the WTA Tour.
CoA), appointed to run Hockey India, on Thursday said it won't object if Elena Norman continues to work for the federation but she must relinquish her positions in the managing committee and executive board of the sports body. The CoA also said that it will soon find an appropriate candidate to manage the day-to-day affairs of Hockey India. Being the CEO of the organisation, Norman was a part of the Hockey India's Executive Board and several Committees but did not have voting right.
IOA vice-president Anil Khanna on Thursday categorically rejected Narinder Batra's claim that he is still the chief of the apex sports body, saying his continuation in the top job will be a contempt of court. Veteran sports administrator Batra was on Wednesday removed as Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president after the Delhi High Court struck down the position of 'Life Member' in Hockey India, courtesy which he had contested and won the apex body's elections back in 2017. Khanna took over as acting chief after HC order.
