3 min readUpdated: Apr 19, 2026 09:51 AM IST Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka came under heavy criticism following one of his team’s early defeats in the IPL 2026 season. In video clips that later went viral on social media, Goenka was seen having an animated chat with LSG captain Rishabh Pant. Fans recalled an incident from 2024 when Goenka was seen having a stern chat with former skipper KL Rahul after a defeat. However, Goenka downplayed concerns of any rift with Pant, who was snapped up for a record Rs 27.50 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction and went on to replace Rahul as captain. However, LSG’s fortunes have not gotten better since Pant’s team failed to make the Playoffs last season. With three defeats in five matches, Lucknow stand eighth on the standings thus far this year. Speaking on NDTV, the 65-year-old Goenka said that purported rifts with Pant were only fabricated stories on social media. “You know, with Rishab, there has never been a scolding situation, ever. This is …

Where do Praggnanandhaa, Vaishali and Divya Deshmukh stand after four rounds at the Candidates? A mixed bag so far | Chess News

What started as an event full of hope for Indians has given a reality check after the first four rounds and 32 fighting games across the open and women’s sections at the Candidates Tournament 2026 in Cyprus. The three Indians in the fray – R Praggnanandhaa, R Vaishali, and Divya Deshmukh -– have endured a battling start. While none of them had entered as overwhelming favourites of the 14-round tournament, the standings on the first rest day reflect just how tough the challenge has been. Praggnanandhaa started his campaign on a perfect note. Riding on an extraordinary opening preparation against Dutchman Anish Giri, the 2023 World Cup finalist landed a huge blow with the white pieces to begin his campaign with a win. His game against Wei Yi in the second round ended in a draw, but Pragg once again showcased brilliant preparation against the Chinese grandmaster. It was the third round that came as a shocker for Pragg, where he was outplayed by his longtime childhood rival, Javokhir Sindarov of Uzbekistan. Sindarov, the youngest …
