Former South African captain Shaun Pollock said that the Chennai Super Kings should not remain so patient with Suresh Raina and must hand a few chances to Robin Uthappa.  Formerly an Orange Cap winner in 2014 when he won the IPL title with Kolkata Knight Riders, Uthappa was bought by the Chennai Super Kings in the 2021 IPL Auction. The senior Indian cricketer, who was a part of India’s 2007 ICC World T20 triumph, has not managed to get a single game and questions are starting to hurl in at MS Dhoni.  However, the CSK skipper maintains his stance saying…

With the way the table is languishing right now, MI and RR might confirm a place in the playoffs by sneaking into that fourth position if they can win their final two games. That would be a bare minimum for either of these teams to get into the final four stages, as only once in the tournament history a team managed to enter playoffs with just 12 points. The Royals are coming into this game after a win that should boost their morale twice as much as any other performance this season. Against the high-flying Chennai Super Kings, youngsters Yeshasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube chipped…

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finds himself in a precarious position, with the side dropping points in Saturday’s Premier League game against Everton (1-1) as Anthony Martial’s first-half strike was cancelled out by Andros Townsend’s counter-attacking goal.

Watford, who regained that status in top flight, having finished second in the Championship last season, are off to a disappointing start, with two wins and four defeats in their opening 7 matches. Munoz replaced Vladimir Ivic last December and guided the club on a sensational win to gain automatic promotion. The club entered the first division with massive aspirations this season and got a senastional start to the season with a 3-2 win against Aston Villa at home. https://twitter.com/WatfordFC/status/1444598096697217024 The Hornets decided to sack Munoz right after the 1-0 defeat…

The IPL broadcasting rights war will commence soon, with the current 5-year cycle coming to an end next year. The undisputed leaders of the industry, Star India, will be favourites to regain it for another five years, but this time, they will have much tougher competition. Currently owned by Walt Disney, Star Networks managed to win the deal for 2018-22, and their bid was higher than what Sony paid for the first 10 years. This time, it is being said that a potential merger between Sony and Zee networks will result in them challenging Star for the broadcasting rights together. https://twitter.com/StarSportsIndia/status/1440959434272886791 Besides the…

A financial crisis is largely the reason why Barcelona found themselves in a horrible situation, but the cutting out they had to because of the wage bill limit, apparently, wasn’t enough. The Goal report that the Catalans are still 300 million euros beyond the LaLiga salary limit. In August, Barca had to let go of their talisman Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, alongside some other exits that helped them save 200 million per annum.  This now means that Barcelona will have to unregister some of their players or lower the wages of those who are a part of the club. This will be…
