Ankita Raina could not win the crucial second singles and later lost the decisive doubles match with partner Prarthana Thombare as a historic play-offs place slipped out of India's grasp after a 1-2 defeat to New Zealand in the Billie Jean King Cup in Changsha on Saturday.

"Hardik Pandya Is Injured. He Is Not Admitting It": Ex-New Zealand Star's Explosive Remark
Former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull believes that Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya has suffered an injury but he is not admitting it. The comment came after Hardik opened the bowling for Mumbai Indians in the first two matches in IPL 2024 but refrained from bowling a single delivery in the next two encounters.

Doull said that there is something wrong with Hardik and it is his 'gut feeling' that the all-rounder may be suffering from some injury.

"No Need To Become Selfish": IPL Winner's Humongous Verdict On KKR
Kolkata Knight Riders' unbeaten run in the IPL 2024 finally came to an end as the Shreyas Iyer-led side was defeated comprehensively by Chennai Super Kings on Monday. The KKR batters, who have been quite impressive in the competition till now, failed to produce their usual performances and the side could only manage to score 137/9 in 20 overs. KKR batters opted for their trademark aggressive approach but with the Chennai pitch assisting the bowlers, Ravindra Jadeja and Tushar Deshpande took two wickets each to hand CSK the advantage. After the match, a fan on social media questioned whether KKR should have changed their approach and someone should have played a more 'selfish' knock for the team.
