Badminton star Tai Tzu-ying confirms retirement: We lived to witness the fairytale era, watching the shuttle do tricks in a starry sky | Badminton News

Autumnal evenings don’t get more melancholy than the finality of the realisation that Tai Tzu-ying will never play a competitive badminton match again. Autumnal evenings don’t get merrier than knowing with certainty that no matter how abruptly it ends, we lived to witness the fairytale era when Tai Tzu-ying played badminton, watching the shuttle do tricks in a starry sky. On Friday, the Taiwanese officially confirmed her retirement which had been on the cards for a while. “A beautiful chapter has come to an end. Thank you badminton for everything you have given me,” she wrote. Like a safe-haven asset in times of uncertain equity markets, Tai Tzu-ying’s two silvers – at Tokyo Olympics and the 2021 Worlds – could be pegged as her peaks. But the mesmerising shuttler needed neither the Olympic gold nor a World Championship title to contend for the tag of the sport’s greatest artist of all time. Even her competitors would arrive at a quick consensus that no matter how many times they got the better of her, she could …

5 Bollywood separations that shattered fairy-tale romances: Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone to Shahid Kapoor-Kareena Kapoor

Bollywood has countless fairytale romances for its audiences. Not just on-screen but even their off-screen dating made us manifest a relationship like that. However, several celebs who once gave major couple goals ended in heartbreak, leaving all shocked and saddened.  From Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone to Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, here’s a look at some star-studded couples whose real-life romances couldn’t bloom into lasting relationships. 1. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were once the most sizzling couple in the Bollywood industry. They were in a relationship for a few years after first meeting on the sets of Bachna Ae Haseeno. Deepika went to the extent of getting Ranbir’s initials, ‘RK’, tattooed on the nape of her neck to show her love for him. Their chemistry, not just off-screen but even on-screen, was top-notch as seen in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. However, their relationship hit a rough patch, and the duo called it quits.

D-day arrives for Rohit Sharma and Co. to find fairytale end for another dream run

D-day arrives for Rohit Sharma and Co. to find fairytale end for another dream run

India and New Zealand are forces to reckon with in ICC tournaments, however, they have ended on the wrong end many times in the recent past. One of them will get the silverware, the other one will have to bear. Champions Trophy 2025 awaits its champion as favourites collide in Dubai. India have been here before. A dream run in an ICC tournament is not a rare thing for the Men in Blue. What is rare is the fairytale end to a dream run. India somehow got that fairytale ending in the T20 World Cup 2024 after snatching a victory from the jaws of defeat against South Africa. That day ended India’s 17-year-long wait for a T20 World title. This one can end one for a 50-over crown after 12 years.  12 years from when India registered a famous win in Edgbaston with their backs against the walls with MS Dhoni‘s men outclassing England to win their first outright Champions Trophy title. 12 years from when India last got their hands on an ICC ODI title.  So much water has passed …

Rain denies Afghanistan fairytale, but Australia’s heavyweight status is in no doubt | Cricket News

Rain denies Afghanistan fairytale, but Australia’s heavyweight status is in no doubt | Cricket News

Weather had the final say in Lahore on Friday as Afghanistan’s must-win match against Australia was abandoned, a result that saw the world champions qualify for the semifinals. Afghanistan only have a ridiculously impossible mathematical chance now, their dream of making it to another ICC semifinal all but over. But even without the rain interrupting, Australia seemed well on course to win at the Gadaffi Stadium, flying to 109/1 in 12.5 overs in a chase of 274 before no play was possible. It might be a non-result on paper but Australia have once again reiterated their status as ICC tournament heavyweights despite not being at full strength. It might not have been a pitch as flat as the ones we have seen at Gadaffi Stadium so far this tournament, with an average of nearly 340 runs scored per innings in the two previous games. After Azmatullah Omarzai’s late fireworks took them to 273, perhaps Afghanistan could have still made a match out of it with a good bowling and fielding performance. But, after stressing pre-match …
