Featuring for about 70 minutes of a stunning 6-4 win over Philadelphia CC, Messi signalled to the bench before being subbed off. The 2022 World Cup hero powered a brace of assists in a frenetic first half, during which eight goals were scored between the sides, an all-time Major League Soccer (MLS) record.

The 18-year-old, who has been on a sparkling form, is set to undergo scans on Monday when he reaches Mumbai, where the Super Kings play their next fixture on Thursday. Mhatre, who came in as Impact Player during the chase, was on 30 off 12 deliveries when he injured his hamstring while running a double. He appeared in pain and was immediately attended by team’s physiotherapist Tommy Simsek. The Indian Express understands that Mhatre’s injury isn’t as bad as one feared with the batsman not experiencing any pain as of now. However, the real extent of the injury would be known only on Monday when he goes for a test.

Rezoana Mallick Heena, the sparkling youngster, looks to re-dazzle after an injury hiccup

There was a glaring miss at the Asian U20 Athletics Championships held in Dubai in late April. Despite possessing an immensely talented quarter-miler at the youth level, India missed out on the women’s 400m gold. The defending champion, 16-year-old Rezoana Mallick Heena, could not make it to the continental championships as she was yet to recover from a hamstring injury sustained in November last. Her absence was felt even more when the Indian 4x400m mixed relay team were pipped by China in the final. Early in 2023, the scenario around women’s 400m was much more promising.

She also rechristened the Championships record of 53.02s set by Salwa Eid Naser of Bahrain eight years ago but …
