Pakistan and Islamabad United opener Sahibzada Farhan cemented his place in history after joining the ranks of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler in the elite list of players who have struck four T20 centuries in a calendar year.

Rollercoaster Carries Rory McIlroy To Masters Glory At Last

Rory McIlroy put major championship miseries behind him with a heart-stopping victory at the Masters on Sunday that was nearly as nerve-wracking as some of the near-misses that came before. "You know, there was points on the back nine today, I thought, 'Have I let this slip again?'" McIlroy admitted after giving up the solo lead three times before rolling in a four-foot birdie putt at the first playoff hole to beat Justin Rose.

"Rohit Sharma Not Helping": Mumbai Indians Asked To Demote Ex Skipper In Batting Order

Rohit Sharma's poor run of form hasn't allowed Mumbai Indians to set the tone in the IPL so far, believes former Indian women's captain Anjum Chopra. The former MI captain has been reduced to an impact sub for the Hardik Pandya-led side with a string of low scores, 0,8, 13, 17, and 18, that cut a sorry figure in the IPL. MI fashioned a 12-run win in their recent game against the Delhi Capitals on Sunday and are saddled in the seventh position in the ten-team points table with four losses and two wins.

Shoaib Malik's PSL 2025 Participation Faces Brutal Criticism: "Draw A Line..."

The inclusion of 43-year-old Shoaib Malik in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) has led to a lot of controversy. The former Pakistan captain is currently playing for Quetta Gladiators. However, his old teammate - Mohammad Yousuf - was not in favour of his participation as he requested the organisers to 'draw a line' while deciding who can play in the competition. Shoaib Malik was appointed as the mentor of domestic Pakistan side Stallions for the Champions One-Day Cup last year. As a result, Yousuf said that he needs to decide whether he wants to be mentor or a player in order to avoid any conflict of interest - an issue that has plagued Pakistan cricket in the recent past.

Karn Sharma Reveals 'Game-Changing Moment' Amid Rohit Sharma vs Hardik Pandya 'Credit' Debate

Mumbai Indians looked on the brink of their 4th defeat in the last 5 games as Karun Nair rallied Delhi Capitals' charge in the hunt for the target of 206 runs. Karun's knock of 89 runs off 40 balls laid the foundation for DC's run-chase, but his departure resulted in what was the start of a collapse. Though Delhi had the likes of KL Rahul, Axar Pate, Tristan Stubbs, and Ashutosh Sharma left in the batting unit, Impact Player Karn Sharma spun his web around the batters to shift the game in MI's favour. Many feel that Rohit Sharma's instruction from the bench to opt for the new ball changed the course of the game. Spinner Karn has broken his silence on the matter
