KKR Star Unhappy With Coach Chandrakant Pandit Over Objection On Dining With Rival Player: Report

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) haven't found the same groove this season that saw them lift the Indian Premier League (IPL) title last term. The franchise only has three wins in nine matches, placing them 7th in the points table, in a bit of flux over playoff qualification. Even the team's pacer Harshit Rana said that the team doesn't have the same 'thrill' as it did in the last campaign when Gautam Gambhir was with the support staff. The situation, hence, raises many questions on the role of head coach Chandrakant Pandit, whose management style hasn't gone down well with multiple players.

"No Fear...": Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Audacious Remark After Slamming Record IPL Ton

After smashing a scintillating century against Gujarat Titans (GT), Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi, aged 14, expressed his happiness following the knock, saying that the accomplishment feels like a "dream" and there is no fear in his batting. Suryavanshi, aged just 14 years and 32 days, registered his name in cricket history books as the youngest centurion in T20 cricket and the fastest Indian centurion in IPL history, making a mockery of a 210-run chase along with his batting partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal. Speaking in the post-match presentation, Suryavanshi said, "It feels really good. It was my first century in the IPL in my third innings. What I've been practicing for the last three-four months, the result is showing. I don't see the ground so much, just focus on the ball. There is no fear. I do not think much about the bowlers, I just focus on playing."

Inter looking to power back up ahead of Champions League match at Barcelona

MILAN: Strange things happen when Inter Milan plays Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals. The last time the two teams met in the final four of Europe’s elite club competition, in 2010, Barcelona had to make a 15-hour journey by bus to Milan after an ash cloud caused by the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull shut down air space. Barcelona lost that first leg 3-1 and a stout defensive performance by Inter in the return match saw it advance to the final 3-2 on aggregate — where it beat Bayern Munich to clinch a historic treble under Jose Mourinho. Inter is hoping it won’t have to make a similarly arduous journey after an unprecedented blackout brought much of Spain and Portugal to a standstill Monday. Power had almost fully returned to Spain early Tuesday morning and Inter’s charter flight was still scheduled to take off for Barcelona at 5 p.m.
