Leicester Tigers beat Clermont Auvergne 27-17 in the second leg of their Heineken Champions Cup round-of-16 tie to secure a comfortable passage into the quarter-finals of the competition.
Bajrang Punia, debilitated and frustrated by his knee injury, was warming up for his 65kg freestyle bronze-medal bout. It was the biggest stage of them all -- the Olympics. He had landed in Tokyo virtually on one leg, carrying a knee injury he suffered in Russia barely a month or so before the Games. But his valor had shone through in the Japanese capital. Bajrang, though, lost in the semis to Azerbaijan's Haji Aliyev. Now, it was either an Olympic medal or an agonizing wait of another three years. With that playing on his mind, Bajrang virtually decided to put his career on the line. "Remove the (knee) brace for now, we'll take care of the injury later," he told the physio. Summoning every inch of his energy reserves, Bajrang beat Kazakhstan's Daulet Niyazbekov 8-0 to win an Olympic bronze medal. But the effort took its toll, on his knees. For more than six months after that, Bajrang had to be in rehab mode, and returned only late last month for the selection trials ahead of the Asian Championships beginning April 19. Ahead of his departure for the tournament in Mongolia, TimesofIndia.com visited the Sports Authority of India centre in Sonepat, where Bajrang was part of the national camp for the Indian men's wrestling team. A candid Bajrang sat down for an exclusive interview with TimesofIndia.com on the sidelines of the arena , taking questions on his life on and around the mat, and also on what it's like to be a newly-married man (Bajrang married wrestler Sangeeta Phogat of the famed Phogat wrestling family in November 2020).
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has spoken about five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians' devastatingly poor season so far. Vaughan, while speaking to Cricbuzz, has said that it is difficult to see Mumbai making a comeback this season after losing six games on the trot. He also said that this could be a season where Mumbai discovers players for the future and also gave his opinion on skipper Rohit Sharma, whose graph according to him hasn't shot up since taking over as India's captain across all formats earlier this year.

Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he is 'so happy' for Newcastle United supporters after the Leicester City boss witnessed the rebirth of one of the most 'iconic football clubs in Britain' during his side's 2-1 defeat on Sunday. Much-changed Leicester actually took the lead at St James' Park through Ademola Lookman in the 19th minute but, crucially, Newcastle did not fold as the Magpies did in the reverse fixture back in December.
