Captain Rishabh Pant on Monday admitted it was difficult for his side to fill the void created by the absence of key bowlers as Lucknow Super Giants bowed out of the race to the Indian Premier League playoffs. LSG's six-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad here knocked them out of reckoning for a top-four finish, with the Pant-led side enduring a demanding campaign from their bowling squad, which was stretched thin.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola will make a decision on Jack Grealish's future at the end of the season. Grealish has fallen out of favour with Guardiola since his starring role in City's 2023 treble-winning campaign. The 29-year-old has made just seven Premier League starts this term and was left on the bench as City crashed to a shock 1-0 defeat in Saturday's FA Cup final against Crystal Palace. That snub has fuelled speculation that the England winger could leave the Etihad Stadium during the summer transfer window.
Indian world champion and Olympic gold medalist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra expressed happiness with his 90-metre breaching performance at the Doha Diamond League recently and thanked his new coach Jan Zelezny and physio Ishaan Marwaaha for their support. Chopra had an outing to remember, as he became the first Indian to cross the 90 m mark in the sport on Friday. However, after a monstrous throw by Germany's Julian Weber at the Doha Diamond League, he could not secure the top spot on the podium this time.
Former India cricketer and the 2007 T20 World Cup-winning star Joginder Sharma feels it is time for Chennai Super Kings icon MS Dhoni to "rest". Chennai, a team that boasts five title wins and 12 playoff appearances, was chasing the shadows of its former self as it crashed out of the playoff race in the group stage. After designated captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the tournament, Dhoni took the mantle of leading the beleaguered CSK. Speculations have been going around about Dhoni's future in the cash-rich Indian Premier League after the five-time champions crashed out of the race to the playoffs following a shambolic campaign in the 18th season.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant cited the team's extensive injury list as the biggest reason behind the side's poor show in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign. After LSG were eliminated from the playoffs race, Pant said that the fact that the team didn't get the services of their primary fast bowlers - Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan - led to their underwhelming show this year. However, former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif gave the LSG management a blunt response on the 'excuse', saying the owners shouldn't have retained such injury-prone players.
Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Rathi has been handed a one-match suspension by the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council for repeated breach of the league's Code of Conduct. Rathi had already been penalised twice by the IPL for his extravagant celebrations after taking wickets in LSG's matches. Against Sunrisers Hyderabad, on Monday, Rathi was even involved in a heated altercation with batter Abhishek Sharma, which even prompted the umpires and other players to intervene.
Former India cricketer and 2007 T20 World Cup hero Joginder Sharma believes Test stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who recently bid adieu to the format, still have enough left in their tanks. Just over a month before India's high-stakes tour of England, batting maestro Virat bid adieu to the Test format with a heartfelt note on Instagram last Monday, days after his long-time compatriot Rohit retired from the format. While looking at the future, he admitted their departure has left a void, but bench strength suggests India will recover from the massive loss.
Ange Postecoglou can end Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League final against Manchester United, but even victory in Bilbao on Wednesday might not be enough to save him from the sack. Beating United to break the silverware curse and earn a place in next season's Champions League would be a significant moment in Tottenham's recent history. The north London club haven't won a major trophy since beating Chelsea in the 2008 League Cup final, while their last European silverware came in the 1984 UEFA Cup.
