Candidates: Javokhir Sindarov’s red-hot form continues with fourth win, Pragg and Co now have to shed safety-first approach | Chess News

5 min readNew DelhiApr 4, 2026 12:08 AM IST In the history of the Candidates Tournament in its current format, no player had ever scored 3.5 points from the first four rounds. Uzbek sensation Javokhir Sindarov not only matched that mark but has gone one step ahead, surging to 4.5 points in five rounds while casually tearing down Hikaru Nakamura’s defences as if for fun in Cyprus on Friday. The 20-year-old, the youngest in the 8-player lineup, is toying with the world’s elite in what is widely considered the most brutal gauntlet in chess, the final step before a shot at the World Championship title. If his win against Fabiano Caruana in the previous round was a lesson in calculated domination, his game against Nakamura was an outright dismantling. Playing at the picturesque Cap St Georges Hotel and Resort in Pegeia, perched above the deep blue Mediterranean, Sindarov made the extraordinary look routine to secure his fourth win. The colours don’t matter to Sindarov anymore. With all the stars aligning, he caught Nakamura in his …

How a boxer gave chakma to a red-hot Virat Kohli in 2016 IPL final to help Sunrisers Hyderabad pull off a heist | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Years later, Barinder Sran could recall the biggest moment of his IPL career with a glee: The Virat Kohi wicket in the 2016 final in front of a loud Chinnaswamy Stadium crowd. “Unko chakma dene ke liye slower ball dali thi! (I bowled a slower ball to deceive him!),” he recounts, laughing. But in that precise moment, the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler could feel his nerves fray, his heart pound. His first two overs had cost 29 runs. Kohli smoked his second ball of the third over for a gorgeous six over extra cover. Royal Challengers Bengaluru were strolling at 140 for 1 in 13 overs, chasing 208. The knock was supposed to be the pinnacle of Kohli’s most prolific season (973 runs). Then, the left-arm seamer gathered his wits. A plan took birth. “We knew that Virat would step out and hit if you keep mid-off up. He stepped out to the first ball of the third over and hit over cover. That is what we planned,” Sran tells The Indian Express. He sent the …

Red-hot Alexander Hendrickx strikes twice as Kalinga Lancers reach final; Toofans beat HIL GC in Eliminator

Published by Webster

It was always going to be that man. Alexander Hendrickx might not be top of the goalscoring charts, thanks to Kane Russell’s early flurry of hat-tricks, but the incredibly consistent Belgian superstar has now scored in all but one of Kalinga Lancers’ matches this season. He struck twice more against Ranchi Royals on Friday in Qualifier 1 to power his side into the title clash where either Hyderabad Toofans or Ranchi Royals await, based on the result of Qualifier 2. Hendrickx brace was the difference in a high-quality match against Royals as Lancers prevailed 2-1 at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium on Friday. Mandeep Singh pulled one back for the after Hendrickx’s double strike gave table-topping Lancers a 2-0 lead but the Royals couldn’t find the equaliser. Earlier in the day, Hyderabad Toofans defeated HIL GC 2-0 in the Eliminator clash to book their spot in Qualifier 2, eyeing a place in the final for a second straight year. Shilanand Lakra (16′, 39′) stole the show as he scored a brilliant brace to help his side …

Red-Hot Iga Swiatek Demolishes Ex-US Open Champion In Australian Open 2025

Published by Webster

A relentless Iga Swiatek stayed on course for a maiden Australian Open title as she powered into the second week with a statement victory over Emma Raducanu on Saturday. In battle of former US Open champions, Swiatek easily had the measure of Raducanu as she romped to a 6-1, 6-0 triumph, rattling off 11 consecutive games from 1-1 in a brutal display. Five-time Grand Slam winner Swiatek hit 24 winners to Raducanu’s nine on Rod Laver Arena. “I played a few shots that I thought after them, this is what I practise for to play these kind of shots, and that’s why I really enjoyed today’s match,” said Swiatek, who was at times untouchable, committing just 12 unforced errors. “I felt really confident, so at the end I could push for even more. “Having converted all these break points as well was important, so I’m really happy with today’s performance.” It was the first time that Raducanu, the 2021 Flushing Meadows winner, had reached the third round in Melbourne. Swiatek, the 2022 champion …

Red-Hot Atalanta Ready For Real Madrid After Snatching Serie A Top Spot

Red-Hot Atalanta Ready For Real Madrid After Snatching Serie A Top Spot

Published by Webster

Atalanta roll into Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid believing they can make more history as the new Serie A leaders aim for a top-eight finish and to push the 15-time kings of Europe closer to a shock elimination. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team are in red-hot form and after moving top of the pile in Italy are in the unprecedented position of facing Madrid with some pundits making them favourites for the win in Bergamo. “That’s a matter of opinion, I’m not exactly very convinced but if that’s what people want to say that’s fine by me,” said Gasperini after Friday’s win over AC Milan. Confidence is understandably high at Atalanta who are on a club-record run of nine straight wins in Serie A and for the first time in their history genuine league title contenders. And Atalanta have been just as explosive in the Champions League, building on last season’s historic Europa League triumph to sit fifth in the table with 11 points from their first five games. Atalanta could easily …

He now has nine goals from seven matches thus far. Singlehandedly pulling NorthEast United up in the ISL 2024-25 standings, Ajaraie has undoubtedly been the signing of the season for the Highlanders. In NorthEast United’s 3-2 win over Odisha FC in Matchweek 7 in the ISL, Ajaraie scored twice and provided an assist to Guillermo Fernandez’s goal. The Moroccan also contributed defensively with two interceptions and four clearances. He completed 19 out of 27 attempted passes, showcasing his all-around impact on the NorthEast United set-up. Ajaraie opened the scoring for NorthEast United in the 12th minute, combining with Parthib Gogoi and firing from a distance to beat Amrinder Singh, giving his …

FIH Hockey Pro League: Defence stands tall as India hold red-hot Australia to a 2-2 draw | Hockey News

Published by Webster

When the FIH Pro League lineup for the Odisha mini tournament was confirmed, it was immediately obvious that the Indian men’s hockey team would face four stern – and important – tests over two legs against Australia and the Netherlands. With Paris Olympics as the aim, these were the games where India would have to show what level they were at. On Saturday in Rourkela, Harmanpreet Singh’s men held Australia for a hard-fought 2-2 draw before losing the shootout 0-3 to miss out on a bonus point. With that result, India finished with three draws in regulation time against the two powerhouses and lost once 4-6 against Australia in a crazy match. Harmanpreet gave India the lead with a drag flick (20′), before Blake Govers equalised from a penalty stroke (23′). Amit Rohidas, a local hero from hockey hotbed Sundergarh, fired India into the lead again from a Penalty Corner again (30′). Tom Craig (53′) took the match to the shootout where India’s forwards missed all of their chances. Johan Durst pulled off some incredible …

Simone Inzaghi Pushing Red-Hot Inter Milan To New Heights As Atletico Madrid Come To Town

Published by Webster

Simone Inzaghi is on the verge of a major breakthrough at Inter Milan as the Serie A leaders push towards the first Serie A title of his coaching career and eye another deep run in the Champions League. Inter are in red-hot form as they await the visit of Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, eight wins from eight in 2024 giving them the Italian Super Cup and a nine-point lead over Juventus in Italy’s top flight — with a game in hand. Inzaghi has long been viewed as a cup coach, one who can win the domestic knockout baubles but isn’t capable of challenging for football’s biggest prizes.  But last year’s run to the Champions League final and their imperious current campaign in Serie A suggests that Inzaghi belongs at the top table. Inter have two points fewer than reigning champions Napoli — who charged to the Scudetto with five matches to spare — did at the same point last season. However Inter have scored a goal more and have a better goal difference …
