Last year’s I-League champion Minerva Punjab have failed to find their mojo so far. The club is reeling at the bottom of the table with just one point from two matches. They drew at home against Churchill Brothers before losing their away match against debutant Real Kashmir. Moreover, the injury of Japanese striker Yu Kuboki has harmed their chances. Minerva already sold their star striker Chencho Gyeltsen to Bengaluru FC....

Hindustan FC remain at the top of the group after today’s draw with seven points from three matches. Pune, on the other hand, struggle at the third position with four points from as many games. The Delhi based football club remained unbeaten after the first three matches in the group stage.

Two of the games in Delhi were washed out due to immense thunderstorm and lightning. Sportskeeda is yet to get a notice from the League Committee if a rematch is on the cards or the points are to be divided.

Salgaocar are currently placed in the sixth position on the nine-team table, with 12 points from 11 games. After languishing in the relegation zone for the majority of their campaign, the Vasco-based side now have the opportunity to find themselves in the fourth position, if they pick up all three points versus DSK. The Goans had a dismal start to the season under former coach Malky Thomson which saw them lose their opening four matches....

It’s been a big week for political protesters. First, there were the thousands who gathered for an anti-war demonstration in the capital Saturday.

He was dragged from the meeting after he stood up and began shouting that the panel should probe the White House’s late response to the disaster....

“For the last 11 days, I was literally cut off from the society as none of the telephones or cell-phones were working. There was no internet connections.

I would like to inform all my friends and relatives that we are safe," he said....

“Rankings hardly matter. What is important is I have been playing consistently. I want to keep it going. I got to the No. 1 spot after a lot of hard work and good performances on court. So, I don’t want to be sitting and feeling bad thinking I am no longer World No. 1. Instead, I am happy that I am able to beat top class Chinese players. And if I keep playing well, it’s possible that I will become No....

But eventually it was T20 series where he got back and was the second highest scorer in the two-match series which ended in a stalemate. “T20 went pretty well, but unfortunately I couldn’t capitalize in ODIs. Batting at that position (Number Five) was something new to me,” he said. “Probably I was too keen to do well, and made some wrong judgments at that point of time. But I am working hard and I will keep doing my best and hopefully I will play for India again....

Ibrahimovic required surgery after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury during United’s 2-1 win over Anderlecht in the Europa League in April. Following the surgery Raiola claimed the doctors were so impressed with the condition of the ex-Sweden international’s knee that they wanted to study it at some point in the future. However, Musahl has now downplayed such suggestions. “It was a routine surgery. There were no complications,” the German doctor told Die Welt....

The moment at which a batsman can be out ‘handled the ball’ has been limited to when he is playing the ball or its immediate aftermath, i....

It takes a special kind of skill, attitude and culture that moulds Australian cricketers into champions everytime they play on the big stage. While New Zealand were worthy finalists, they were unable to rise to the occasion and we got a one-sided final. That isn’t to say that the tournament wasn’t thrilling. Over 6 weeks, cricket teams from around the globe (I use the word globe lightly here) gave a wonderful display of their talents as we found new heroes to admire, villains to hate and bid goodbye to some legends....

This match means more than just three points to The Blues’ coach Albert Roca, whose side is on the ropes with respect to form and are struggling to churn out much needed victories. The reigning domestic champions currently sit fifth in the league and EIGHT points behind their guests to the Garden city - albeit with the advantage of a game in hand. ‘We didn’t have a personal problem’ - Mata happy under Mourinho at Man Utd...

Reflecting on the performance, coach V Soundararajan claimed he was pleased with the full-time result. The gaffer mentioned that his side lacks strength in the attack and will focus on the same in the upcoming matches. “I’m satisfied with the result.

In the team, I want to correct our forward section....
