  • RR Vs GT, IPL 2026: Rashid Khan, Jason Holder Destroy Rajasthan Royals in One-Sided Jaipur Clash

    Gujarat Titans produced a complete performance to crush Rajasthan Royals by 77 runs in IPL 2026 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. After being asked to bat first, GT posted a massive 229/4, powered by Shubman Gill’s explosive 84 off 44 balls and Sai Sudharsan’s fluent 55 off 36. Washington Sundar then added late fireworks with an unbeaten 37 from 20 deliveries as GT crossed the 220-mark comfortably. In reply, Rajasthan Royals started aggressively through Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 36 off 16 balls, but wickets kept falling regularly after the powerplay. Rashid Khan completely changed the game with a brilliant four-wicket haul, while Jason Holder picked up three wickets to wrap up the chase quickly. RR were eventually bowled out for 152 in 16.3 overs as Gujarat Titans climbed to second place on the points table.

  • Liverpool Vs Chelsea: Bitter Rivals Settle For Frustrating Draw; Slot Booed By Anfield Crowd

    Amid Anfield boos, directed at Liverpool boss Arne Slot, of course, Chelsea stopped the rot after six successive league defeats. But the 1-1 draw on matchday 36 of the English Premier League 2025-26 severely dented their hopes of playing UEFA Champions League football next season. The Blues conceded an early goal, with Ryan Gravenberch producing a sixth-minute stunner. The visitors from London, thanks to a fortuitous Enzo Fernandez goal, found the equaliser 10 minutes before half-time, and they even enjoyed a good spell in the ceremonial Merseyside. Yet, all they had was one point. In the same breath, the defending champions will rue the missed chances, including hitting the woodwork, twice. The Saturday display evidently left the fans disappointed. For now, Liverpool sit fourth with 59 points, ahead of Aston Villa and Brentford, both with one game in hand, while Chelsea are ninth.

  • DC Vs KKR, IPL 2026: Finn Allen's Unbeaten Hundred Takes Knight Riders To Fourth Win In Row

    Finn Allen struck a 47-ball 100 not out as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) thrashed Delhi Capitals (DC) by eight wickets to secure their fourth win on the trot in match 51 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Friday (May 8). Opting to bowl, KKR spinners led by Sunil Narine strangled the Capitals in the middle overs on a tacky surface to restrict them to 142/8. Pathum Nissanka smashed a quick 50 (29 balls; 5x4, 3x6) but Delhi lost momentum after his dismissal, scoring just 11 runs between the 12th and 16th overs as Anukul Roy (2/31), Kartik Tyagi (2/25) and Sunil Narine (1/17) applied the brakes. Ashutosh Sharma’s late 28-ball 39 (3x4, 3x6), gave Delhi some respite.  In reply, Allen, who came in as Impact Sub for Varun Chakravarthy, hit 10 sixes and five fours to make it a lopsided chase as KKR sealed the win in just 14.2 overs.
