LONDON: This year’s Indian Premier League is serving up a thrilling climax and two of South Africa’s cricketing greats, AB de Villiers and Chris Morris, are delighted with how the 18th event is unfolding.
QASSIM: When the women competing in Rally Jameel come to Saudi Arabia, they not only get to discover the Kingdom’s terrain, but its people and culture. Spanish driver Noelia Benitez, competing in the all-female race — which began April 21 in Jordan and ends April 26 — for the fourth consecutive year, told Arab News: “It’s a fun week — drivers and co-drivers enjoy every minute of it.” For Benitez, the rally is about more than just the racing. “We’re not just enjoying sitting behind the wheel and competing for the title,” she said. “The race takes us through the stunning landscapes of Tabuk, AlUla, Hail and Qassim and showed us the culture and traditions of Saudis in different places.
In a gesture of respect and solidarity, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) paid tribute to the victims of the terror attack in Pahalgam before the IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at the Eden Gardens here on Saturday. To honour those who lost their lives, a minute's silence was observed before the start of play. KKR and PBKS players also wore black armbands during the match to pay tribute to the victims of the terror attack. The customary ringing of the Eden bell, which has been the tradition for several years before the start of a match, was not done on Saturday as a mark of respect.
Punjab Kings all-rounder Glenn Maxwell's abysmal form continued in the IPL 2025 as he was dismissed for just 7 against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday. Maxwell, who was bought in the mega auction for Rs 4.2 crore, returned to the playing XI after two matches but he was dismissed cheaply by KKR spinner Varun Chakravarthy. Before this match, Maxwell scored just 41 runs in the competition leading to a lot of criticism from both fans as well as experts. On Saturday, Maxwell made a tentative start to his innings and although he did slam a boundary, the Australian international was clean bowled on the very next boundary. Former India batter Suresh Raina was not happy and delivered a brutal verdict on the struggling star.
Chennai Super Kings are on the brink of elimination from the playoffs race in IPL 2025. With seven losses out of nine, the five-match time champions are facing the worst time of their life. On Friday, they suffered a shocking five-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad at their own fortress, Chepauk. Apart from being on the losing side, the match also had an intense moment after CSK skipper MS Dhoni gave a taunting response to Shaik Rashdeed as the 20-year-old's fielding error handed SRH an extra run.
Having a conversation with Axar Patel is like talking to one of your best friends instead of the captain of a cricket team, stated Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Jake Fraser-McGurk. Axar has made a bright start to his life as DC skipper, with the side now in second place in the points table, via six out of eight wins. Fraser-McGurk has been out of DC's playing eleven after a tough run of form and recalled how talking to Axar gave him some comfort. Axar is just one of those players who leads everyone, and everyone follows him, I guess. He's an amazing talent, and the way he plays just makes everyone really proud to be at Delhi Capitals.”
A 'genius' like Virat Kohli doesn't need to put in extra hours perfecting his play against spin, said RCB spin-bowling coach Malolan Rangarajan on the Indian superstar's improved strike rate against spinners this Indian Premier League. Questions have been raised over Kohli's play against spinners in the middle overs even previously in the IPL but talking about last year, Malolan said it wasn't fair to single out Kohli. "It wasn't only Virat last season who was not batting at the desired strike rate. It was the whole team. So I think the whole team got together. And that's precisely what happened. That's part one," said Malolan on the eve of the away game against Delhi Capitals here on Sunday.
BEIRUT: Shining young Lebanese footballer Celine Haidar is refusing to let a critical head injury she sustained after an Israel airstrike keep her down, and is determined to recover and return to the pitch. “No pain, no gain … I am very gratified with where I’ve reached in my rehabilitation. Actually I’m surprised … I want to return to football once I complete my physiotherapy and retain my fitness,” Haidar, a 20-year-old youth international, told Arab News on Saturday. Speaking at Mgr Cortbawi Institute and Rehabilitation Hospital, where she has stayed since waking up from a two-month coma in January, Haidar said she does not recall what happened on the ill-fated day of Nov.
