Watch More Royals Run Riot as Sooryavanshi Blitz Leaves CSK Shell-Shocked in Guwahati Rajasthan Royals made it look embarrassingly easy in Guwahati on Sunday 30th March 2026 dismantling Chennai Super Kings inside 13 overs to win by eight wickets with 47 balls to spare. Chennai, asked to bat first after losing the toss, never got going. The Royals' pace duo of Nandre Burger and Jofra Archer tore through the lineup with raw pace and hostility, leaving Chennai with precious little to show for their efforts. Only Jamie Overton offered anything resembling a fight, scratching together 43 off 36 balls before the tail folded. The entire innings was done and dusted for 127 in 19.4 overs — well below a competitive total. The chase barely lasted long enough to call it a contest. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi came out swinging from ball one and reached his half-century off just 15 deliveries — one of the fastest fifties in IPL history. He finished with 52, and by the time he was dismissed, the ga...

Watch More Tudor Out, De Zerbi In? Spurs Sack Another Manager as Relegation Battle Turns Desperate Igor Tudor is gone. Seven games, zero wins, and a club sliding towards the Championship — Tottenham have cut their losses and parted ways with the Croatian by mutual consent in one of the most calamitous managerial spells in the club's modern history. The numbers tell a grim story. Five defeats and two draws. Fourteen goals conceded, three scored. The defensive solidity Tudor was supposedly brought in to provide never arrived. Instead, the team looked tactically all over the place, and reports from the training ground suggested his relationship with senior players had broken down completely. Daniel Levy had seen enough. Spurs now sit just two points above the relegation zone. For a club that was in Champions League finals not so long ago and owns one of the finest stadiums in world football, the prospect of dropping into the Championship is almost unthinkable. Survival isn't ...

Watch More Bastoni Says Yes: How One Phone Call Could Reshape Barcelona's Entire Summer Alessandro Bastoni has given FC Barcelona the answer they were hoping for. The 26-year-old Inter Milan and Italy centre-back has reportedly responded positively to initial approaches from the Catalan club, signalling his personal willingness to join Hansi Flick's project at the Spotify Camp Nou. It is, by any measure, a significant moment in Barcelona's summer planning — and one that could have ripple effects across the entire transfer window. Barcelona identified Bastoni as their primary defensive target for good reason. He is left-footed, commanding in the air, and exceptionally comfortable bringing the ball out from the back — qualities that suit Flick's style down to the ground. His arrival would fill the gap left by Iñigo Martínez's departure and, perhaps more importantly, give teenage sensation Pau Cubarsí an experienced partner to grow alongside. Cubarsí himself has ...

Watch More Former WWE Star Ariel Reveals She Always Lost Bra and Panties Matches on Purpose — Because Fans Demanded It. Former WWE Diva Shelly Martinez, best known as Ariel, has opened up about one of wrestling's most talked-about — and now largely forgotten — match formats: the Bra and Panties Match, where two women competed to strip each other down to their underwear. Speaking on her Too Much Information Podcast, Martinez said she has absolutely no issue with the concept and admitted she always knew going in that she'd be on the losing end. "I have no problem with it. When I have done them in the past, I always lost because everyone wants to see Shelly Martinez in her bra and panties. I always went into it knowing I'm gonna lose — because that's what they want. That's what the fans want." Although she never took part in a Bra and Panties Match during her actual WWE stint, Martinez reckons the format still has legs. She suggested a modern-day bout...

  Watch More The Crown Stays Firm: RCB’s Masterclass at the Chinnaswamy Signals a New Era of Dominance The air at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on the opening night of the 2026 IPL season wasn’t just filled with the usual Bengaluru humidity; it was thick with the electric expectation of a fan base greeting their defending champions. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) didn’t just walk onto the field to begin a new campaign; they marched out to defend a legacy. By the time the final ball was struck under the floodlights, RCB had dispatched Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 6 wickets, proving that their maiden title the previous year was no fluke, but the dawn of a dynasty. The evening began with a tactical victory for the home side as RCB won the toss and elected to field, banking on the Chinnaswamy’s reputation for favoring second-innings chases. The decision paid immediate dividends. Debutant Jacob Duffy turned the "Cathedral of Cricket" into his personal playground, ripping thro...

Watch More The North London Masterclass: Arsenal Overpower Leverkusen to Reach the Final Eight The lights of the Emirates Stadium have witnessed many historic European nights, but few felt as clinical or as inevitable as the one that unfolded on March 17, 2026. In a tactical chess match that pitted Mikel Arteta’s disciplined Gunners against a resilient Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal emerged with a 2-0 victory, securing a 3-1 aggregate win and a coveted spot in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. It was a performance defined not by desperation, but by a profound sense of maturity and top-flight pedigree. The tension heading into the second leg was palpable. Following a gritty 1-1 draw in Germany, the tie hung in a delicate balance. Leverkusen arrived in London with a clear blueprint: absorb pressure, frustrate the home crowd, and strike on the counter. For the first half-hour, the plan held firm. However, Arsenal’s patience proved to be their greatest weapon. The deadlock was fina...

  The $1.7bn Handshake That Never Happened: Why Rajasthan Royals Just Reset the IPL Market Watch More Rajasthan Royals have pulled the plug on a massive $1.7 billion (roughly £1.35bn) takeover bid from US investment firm Columbia Pacific Capital Partners (CPCP). It’s a move that has sent shockwaves through the sporting financial world. The offer was as serious as it gets. CPCP reportedly promised to settle the entire bill within a fortnight. However, the Royals’ top brass—led by Manoj Badale ’s Emerging Media Ventures and backed by RedBird Capital —said no. And it wasn't just about the money. The owners are playing the long game. Word behind the scenes is that they had reservations about the deal’s structure and whether the buyers actually had the chops to turn the Royals into a global powerhouse, rather than just treating the club as a trophy asset. In short: they believe the club is worth significantly more than $1.7bn, and they’re happy to sit tight. The Knock-on Effect...

Max Dowman: Arsenal 's 16-year-old makes Premier League history in Everton rout Watch More Most lads his age are stressing over GCSE mocks . Max Dowman spent his Saturday rewriting the record books. The Hale End graduate came off the bench in the 89th minute of Arsenal's 2–0 win over Everton at the Emirates — and in the space of a few frantic seconds, became the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history at just 16 years and 73 days old. It had been one of those frustrating afternoons for the Gunners. Everton sat deep, Arsenal probed without reward, and the clock crept towards full time. Then Mikel Arteta threw the teenager on, and the game changed completely. Within moments of his introduction, Dowman whipped in a cross of real quality — the kind you'd expect from someone twice his age — which Viktor Gyökeres turned home to finally break the deadlock. But the kid wasn't done. Deep into injury time, with Jordan Pickford stranded upfield, Dowman seized o...

watch more USA 5-3 Canada: The Night the Americans Turned Up the Heat and Booked Their Semi-Final Spot There are rivalries, and then there is USA versus Canada . This one never needs a build-up or a backstory — both sides know exactly what is at stake the moment they share a sheet of ice, and neither is ever willing to give the other an inch. This latest chapter delivered everything the fixture promised, ending in a breathless 5–3 victory for the Americans that did more than just settle the afternoon's argument. It punched their ticket to the semi-finals and left Canada searching for answers. The opening exchanges were frantic from the first drop of the puck. The USA came out sharp and purposeful, drawing first blood before the crowd had properly found its voice. Canada, never a side to wilt under early pressure, responded almost immediately, and the first period turned into a breathless back-and-forth that somehow managed to feel like a chess match played at breakneck speed. Th...

watch more From the Streets of Delhi to World Cup Glory: The Incredible Resurrection of Sanju Samson This isn’t just a cricket story. This is a story of sacrifice, a father’s unshakeable faith, and a comeback for the ages. Imagine being a young boy in Delhi, dreaming of the blue jersey , but finding every door slammed shut. Sanju Samson was that boy. Despite the talent burning in his eyes, the Delhi national team selections remained out of reach. Most would have packed up their kit bag and called it a day. But not the Samsons. The Ultimate Gamble Sanju’s father, a Delhi Police constable , saw something the selectors didn't. In a move that defines "all-in," he resigned from his stable job, uprooted his family, and moved back to Kerala . They traded the security of a government salary for a precarious dream. There were financial struggles, quiet nights of worry, and the crushing pressure of a father’s sacrifice resting on a son’s shoulders. The Trial by Fire Kerala gav...

watch highlight  India Do It Again — And This Time, They Did It at Home India hammered New Zealand by 96 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday to win the 2026 T20 World Cup — and in doing so, became the first side ever to defend a T20 World Cup title on home soil . It wasn't even close. Put in to bat, India's top order made New Zealand's bowlers look thoroughly ordinary. Abhishek Sharma came out swinging and set the tone immediately, before Sanju Samson took over and played the innings of the tournament — a commanding 89 that mixed old-fashioned strokeplay with pure muscle. Ishan Kishan chipped in with 54, Shivam Dube hit a few lusty blows at the death, and by the time the last ball was bowled, India had reached 255/5. A World Cup final record. New Zealand knew, even then, what was coming. The chase lasted barely long enough to be called one. Jasprit Bumrah ran through the top order like a wrecking ball, finishing with 4/15 in figures that were...

Watch highlight  Seven Runs From Glory: England's Heroic Chase Falls Just Short as India March On It was the sort of match that reminds you why cricket gets under your skin and never quite lets go. On a sweltering Thursday evening at the Wankhede, India scraped past England by just seven runs in a T20 World Cup semi-final that had absolutely no right to be as dramatic as it was. The defending champions are through to the final against New Zealand . England, magnificent in defeat, are on the plane home. Samson Tears It Apart England's captain Harry Brook won the toss and asked India to bat — a decision that must have felt rather clever for about four overs and absolutely catastrophic for the next sixteen. Once Sanju Samson got going, there was precious little anyone could do about it. Samson was in one of those moods. He smashed 89 off 42 balls — seven sixes, a blur of footwork, and the sort of clean hitting that makes the ball sound different coming off the bat. It equalled...

Watch highlight   Liverpool's Late-Night Nightmare: Wolves Snatch Dramatic Win to Dash Top-Four Hopes Tuesday night's match at Molineux was supposed to be straightforward for Liverpool as they chase a Champions League spot, but it turned into one of the worst nights of their season. Wolves won 2-1 with a last-gasp goal in the 94th minute from Brazilian midfielder André, breathing new life into their relegation battle whilst potentially ending Liverpool's hopes of a top-four finish. For most of the game, Liverpool did what they usually do under manager Arne Slot—they kept the ball and controlled the pace. But they couldn't break down Wolves' stubborn defence. The drama started in the 78th minute when Rodrigo Gomes caught Liverpool napping and put Wolves ahead. Mohamed Salah looked to have rescued a point with an equaliser just five minutes later, but Liverpool's relief didn't last long. The killer blow came deep into injury time. As Liverpool pushed forward...

Watch live here America's Winter of Gold: Team USA Shatters Records in the Italian Alps The 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics will go down as the moment America truly conquered the snow and ice. Team USA arrived in Italy with sky-high expectations — and then blew right past them. A record-breaking 12 gold medals, 33 in total, made this the most successful Winter Games in American history, and it wasn't even particularly close. The road to that record wasn't accidental. Years of careful investment in athlete development, and a sharp focus on disciplines where America has real strength, quietly laid the groundwork for what unfolded across the Italian Alps. When the time came, the athletes delivered. One of the defining moments came in the mixed team aerials. With barely any room for error, Kaila Kuhn, Connor Curran and Chris Lillis put together a stunning run of jumps that left their rivals trailing. Kuhn set the tone early, Curran kept the pressure on, and Lillis — the o...

Watch highlight Samson's 97 Breaks Hearts and Records as India Storm into the Semis Eden Gardens has witnessed countless memorable nights in its long and storied history, but what unfolded on March 1, 2026 will be talked about in Kolkata for years to come. In a virtual quarter-final for the 2026 T20 World Cup, India overhauled a daunting 196 to defeat a formidable West Indies side by five wickets, booking their place in the semi-finals with four balls to spare. The West Indies came out swinging from the first ball. Shai Hope and Roston Chase tore into India's pace attack during the Powerplay, setting the tone for an innings that never relented. Jasprit Bumrah offered some resistance with a disciplined 2 for 36, but Rovman Powell and Jason Holder had other ideas in the closing overs, their brutal hitting lifting the Caribbean side to 195 for 4. It felt like a total that might just be beyond India — the highest successful T20I chase at this ground had never come close to that f...
