Former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has been dealt a cruel blow as he has been ruled out of the ICC men’s ODI World Cup 2023 in India later this year after injuring his knee in the opening match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 while attempting a catch on the boundary for Gujarat Titans. Williamson will require surgery on his injured right knee, after scans on Tuesday confirmed he’d ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while fielding for the Gujarat Titans. “The standard rehabilitation timelines mean that Williamson is now unlikely to be fit and available for selection at this…

The stakes have rarely been this high when the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers meet, with Wednesday night’s matchup between the teams a legitimate showdown as the regular season nears a close. Known as a rivalry in proximity only, especially from the Lakers’ side, Wednesday’s game is poised to be remembered regardless of who wins. Both teams enter 41-38 with three regular-season games remaining, although the Clippers technically are in sixth place in the Western Conference, which would give them a guaranteed spot in the first round of the playoffs.

The delay is in stark contrast to the 2019 event, when the dates and venues for the tournament in England and Wales were announced more than a year out in keeping with usual practice for major sporting events. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has previously co-hosted three ODI World Cups and organising the 10-team event in October-November should present no major difficulties for the world’s richest board. However, soured political relations between India and Pakistan have complicated matters and cricket finds itself caught in the geopolitical crossfire between the feuding neighbours, who play each other only…
After the worst first half of his 20-year career where he scored just three points, LeBron James exploded for 30 after the halftime break. Still, the four-time MVP couldn’t carry the LA Lakers to a much-needed win over their rival, the LA Clippers. Despite the gutsy effort on the second night of a back-to-back set, some fans still couldn’t resist taking shots at “King James:” After playing 38 minutes in the Lakers’ 135-133 overtime win against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, James didn’t have his legs early on. He was 1-6 from the field and had more turnovers…

Every year the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction gives hopes to the fans supporting their respective franchises as they eagerly wait for some stellar additions in the squad which can help them in the regular season.

Kolkata Knight Riders have won the Indian Premier League title twice, in 2012 and 2014. But since then, they couldn’t get their hands on the trophy. The last time they reached the IPL final was in 2021, when Eoin Morgan led them to the final of the tournament. But they lost to the Chennai Super Kings to end the season as runners-up. But the 2022 season was worse, as they couldn’t reach the playoffs either. KKR finished at 7th place on the table with only six games out of 14. The franchise retained its core players ahead of the auction…
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s laid-back style of leadership, and the franchise’s penchant for banking almost exclusively on 30-year-old T20 veterans, is in stark contrast to the format’s characteristic. But Chennai have solid results to back this strategy – they have won the IPL four times and finished runners-up five times since the tournament started in 2008. Chennai are known to give the players they pick a long rope and expect them to do much of the problem solving on the pitch rather than in team meetings. That has made Chennai an attractive team for players who want to take their game…

IPL 2023 Rajasthan Royals: Rajasthan Royals entered the IPL 2008 season as underdogs, with media and critics giving them faint chances of winning. However, the team, led by legendary Shane Warne, upset Mumbai Indians in the semi-final and Chennai Super Kings in the final to clinch the inaugural trophy. Australia’s Shane Watson played the key role in the team’s success with 472 runs and 17 wickets and helped Rajasthan win 13 matches out of 16 in the tournament.
