#VaibhavSooryavanshi can finish IPL2026 with 3 Awards

Emerging Player, Orange Cap & MVP

55 from Gill/67 from Sai can take away 🟠 cap. With a good final Rabada can be MVP

But RCB can still make the season memorable for the kid

Emerging player winning the MVP - stuff of dreams

Akash Singh #IPL2026 #RRvLSG

vs CSK: 4-0-26-3
vs RR: 3-0-54-1 (so far)

What changed? The Southpaws!

Against CSK, Akash bowled all 24 balls to RHB.

Against RR, 15 off the 18 balls were bowled to LHB. The 3 balls he bowled to Jurel went for just a run.

Rohan Pandit this IPL

Obstructing the Field decision against Angrish Raghuvanshi today.

Giving Klaasen out despite the fielder Phil Salt touching the boundary rope.

Eventually those teams will be deducted off Fairplay points becasue of the batters' appeals. Sad!

Opened a new door. Let's see what's on the other side! @bbctamil

[Football Away Days @FBAwayDays]

Crystal Palace have become the first club to offer an aftercare programme for released players that don't have a future in football.

The three-year aftercare package will support released academy players in making a way of life, outside of football.

This is a fantastic thing for the club to do, hopefully the first of many. 👏

[Aarti Sankaran @coach_aarti]

The bail/ LED bails debate has been settled. The WPL committee has given a statement that the bails have to be fully dislodged. So @gaayven was right. For all those who were unkind. Pls remember she is one of the best. The fault is that we weren’t informed.

Six months back, I asked her if she would make it to India U-19 this year. She said "I'll open the batting for India and you will watch it!" She has made it happen today! ❤️

Go well, Kamalini!💪

சிறந்த மனிதர்களெல்லாம் வரலாற்றால் நினைவுகூறப்படுவதில்லை. சிறந்த கதை கொண்ட மனிதர்களே வரலாறாக மாறுகிறார்கள். இது, டென்னிஸ் அரங்கில் யுத்தம் செய்த, காயங்களோடு போரிட்ட போர்வீரனின் கதை. காயங்கள் நிறைந்த காதல் கதை! நடால் ❤️

[Roger Federer @rogerfederer]

Vamos, @RafaelNadal!

As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.

Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.

I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.

And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more. 

OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.

We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.

I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.

I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.

And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.

Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.

Rafa that!

Best always, your fan, 

Roger

ஒருவேளை, ஒரு தங்கத்தைக் கழுத்தில் மாட்டியிருந்தால் அவள் கதைக்கு முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கலாம். அந்தத் தங்க முலாம், போராளி என்ற அவள் அடையாளத்தை மறைத்திருந்திருக்கலாம். வெறும் ஒலிம்பிக் சாம்பியன் என்று மட்டுமே அவள் எதிர்காலத்தால் நினைவுகூறப்பட்டிருக்கலாம்.

தமிழ் தெரியா பெரும்கண்டம் 'தல' என்ற வார்த்தையை மந்திரமாய் ஒலிக்கிறது

இவன் செல்லும் பாதையெல்லாம் மஞ்சள் கம்பளம் விரிகிறது

நரை தெரிகிறது.வலியும் புரிகிறது

ஆனால் அவன் இல்லாத ஒரு களத்தை ஏற்க மனம் மறுக்கிறது

காத்திருப்போம். 2025ல் அன்புடென்னில் அவனை மீண்டும் அரவணைப்போம்

One bad thing that happened with SRH’s crazy innings is that it had erased the relevance of ‘Pune Warriors India’.

That team was known only for conceding the highest IPL total.

Not anymore!

12 ஓவர்களாக கில்லின் Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V பிளான் தொடர்கிறது

10: ஸ்பென்சர் ஜான்சன்
11: சாய் கிஷோர்
12: மோஹித் ஷர்மா

மும்பைக்கு எதிராக சாய் 13வது ஓவர் வீசினார். ஆனால், கடந்த ஓவரில் 15 ரன்கள் கொடுத்திருக்கிறார். மீண்டும் அவருக்கே கொடுப்பாரா?
