Erling Haaland continues to set records in win over Leicester City

Erling Haaland continued his jaw-dropping assault on the Premier League on Saturday as he netted a first-half brace to equal Mo Salah’s single-season goal-scoring record in Manchester City’s 3-1 victory over beleaguered Leicester City. Haaland increased his haul to 32 goals to tie Salah’s mark for a 38-game season – and the 22-year-old Norwegian scoring machine has eight games still to play. Only four days earlier, Haaland had become the first player in English football to score a record 45 goals in a season in all competitions during City’s 3-0 win over Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. .@ManCity close the gap at the 🔝 pic.twitter.com/SANwjDCXlV — Premier League (@premierleague) April 15, 2023 On Saturday, that record tally increased to 47 goals. ...

We were 10 runs short: LSG skipper KL Rahul

Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul on Saturday said his side could not execute the plans while batting and were 10 runs short as they lost their IPL match against Punjab Kings by two wickets here on Saturday. Invited to bat, LSG made 159 for 8 in 20 overs with Rahul top-scoring with 74 but PBKS chased down the target with three balls to spare. “I think we were about 10 runs short towards the end. The dew came in and it seemed to help the batters (of PBKS) a little bit more. We did not execute well with the ball,” Rahul said at the post-match presentation. “If a couple of batters get in, play good knocks, we can get to 180-190. Unfortunately, today, few of the batters hit good shots but got caught just on the boundary line. On another day, we would have got those 10-15 runs extra that...

IPL 2023: Kings cut Giants down to size as Raza and Shahrukh Khan ace chase

Synopsis: Gritty KL Rahul set a 160-run target with 74 but a cool Sikandar Raza led a masterly chase before the imperious Shahrukh Khan sealed the finish The cool Raza Punjab were 75 for 4, 85 runs adrift of the target in the 12th over, when Sikandar Raza sashayed down the pitch to wallop K Gowtham over long-off. And as the captain Sam Curran, fresh to the crease, reached for the mid-pitch chat, Raza patted his back, and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, ‘don’t worry, we shall get this done’. It wasn’t a faint boast. In the next over, against Krunal Pandya, who much to his captain KL Rahul’s visible disappointment, kept bowling short and on the leg and middle, Raza tonked two sixes and a four. The crowd and camera oohed and aahed as in all three occasions the fielder was Yudhvir Sing...

LSG vs PBKS, IPL 2023 Emotional Rollercoaster: Shahrukh is a box-office hit, KL bursts on Avesh, Zaheer Khan’s tips help Yudhvir Singh

Shahrukh Khan is a box-office hit When he smashed his first ball from Mark Wood for a stunning six over long-on, it was clear the adrenalin was rushing. But could he control it? He showed he could, by choosing the balls and areas to hit, and staying till the end. When he tonked Ravi Bishnoi for the match-winning four in the final over, he pumped his fist and kept running to his team-mates. On air, Matthew Hayden had turned a big fan: “I like his hitting technique; he stays still, doesn’t commit.” 11 years and a case of mistaken identity later, Harpreet Bhatia ends IPL drought  Nearly 11 years after he last played an IPL game (10 years, 332 days), Harpreet Singh Bhatia has made his comeback in the IPL. In fact, by his telling, he might have got into IPL in 2017, but a case of mistaken id...

For a Bangalore guy, it is a dream to be playing for RCB: Vyshak

On top of the world: Vyshak impressed on debut, scalping the prized wickets of Warner and Axar. There was a long-standing quibble among fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore that they did not have a local player to connect with. On Saturday, pacer V.
