Why was Koneru Humpy, undefeated at World Rapid C’ship, denied a shot at tiebreaks even after tying for top spot?

Published by Webster

The Women’s World Rapid Championship 2025 in Doha ended in heartbreak for veteran Indian Koneru Humpy, who failed to defend her Rapid title and had to settle for bronze on Sunday. Entering the 11th and final round tied for first with Zhu Jiner and Aleksandra Goryachkina, the 38-year-old Humpy only needed a win against her 18-year-old compatriot Savitha Shri B to secure the championship outright after Zhu and Goryachkina had already drawn their games. Instead, Humpy faltered from a completely winning position and was forced to split the point, leaving the three-way deadlock intact at the top with each of them being undefeated throughout the event and scoring 8.5 points from 11 rounds.

Rohit Sharma dismissed for first-ball duck but Mumbai maintain undefeated start; Juyal, Rinku shine in UP’s win

Published by Webster

Rohit Sharma experienced the other spectrum of life on Friday after he was dismissed for a first-ball duck in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Group C match against Uttarakhand at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. His team, however, went on to win the match by 51 runs and maintain their undefeated start to the tournament. Wicketkeeper-batter Hardik Tamore top-scored for Mumbai, with an unbeaten 93 off 82 balls. The brother duo of Sarfaraz Khan and Musheer Khan made identical scores of 55, and late cameos from Shams Mulani (48 off 35 balls) and Shardul Thakur (29 off 21 balls) took Mumbai to 331/7 in 50 overs. Opening batter Yuvraj Chaudhary led Uttarakhand’s chase, making a run-a-ball 96, and was supported by J Suchith, who made 51. But none of the other batters offered the requisite support, and Uttarakhand eventually ended up with 280/9 in their 50 overs. Brief Scores: Mumbai 331/7 in 50 overs (Tamore 93 not out, Sarfaraz Khan 55; Bora 3/74) beat Uttarakhand 280/9 in 50 overs (Yuvraj 96, Suchith 51; Shardul 2/28) …

South Africa’s Iron Man with a giant heart, undefeated and unbroken, leads from the front at Eden Gardens for famous win

South Africa’s Iron Man with a giant heart, undefeated and unbroken, leads from the front at Eden Gardens for famous win

Published by Webster

Forty thousand eyes stayed fixed on Temba Bavama for 40 seconds that felt like 40 hours. And Bavuma’s were fixed on the ragged, discoloured ball, lost in the pale blue skies. He ran sideways, took a step to his left, then to his right, before he stationed under the ball to swallow the catch that would bring his team within a blow to winning the Test. The ball calmly dropped in his palms. Forty thousand eyes shut in despair. Bavuma blew a kiss into the skies. An hour later, he was asked to narrate the feeling that tossed in his mind when he ran for the catch. “Well, nothing. Just to catch the ball. I didn’t have time for other thoughts!” With such a straight face and placid eyes, but humour ringing in his tone, that he had the hall in splits. Among contemporary captains, he is the doyen of deadpan humour. He is also the Iron Man of South Africa, the small man with a giant heart, as coach Shukri Conrad described, and arguably …

Holi Box Office: Akshay Kumar’s Kesari Remains The Top Grosser Since 2019, Ranbir Kapoor & Shraddha Kapoor’s Film Follows ( Photo Credit – YouTube ) We’re less than a couple of days away from the festival of colors, Holi. From the box office perspective, Holi hasn’t been among the most lucrative festivals for Bollywood, and there’s one major reason behind it. Usually, on Holi, shows start a bit late. Even if there are regular shows, the occupancy remains lower till the afternoon as people are mainly occupied with celebrations. Due to this, earth-shattering openings are missing on Holi. Still, a couple of films have scored well in the long run after a good start on Holi, and Akshay Kumar’s Kesari is at the top of the list. Kesari is the highest Holi grosser of Bollywood! Akshay Kumar’s Kesari was theatrically released on March 21, 2019. It came on a proper Holi holiday. As expected, it started slowly due to Holi celebrations but picked up well to post a superb total of 21.06 crore net at …

The Indian team on Sunday went the whole mile in the Champions Trophy as an undefeated unit after they defeated New Zealand in the final in Dubai. Reacting to the unbeaten streak, skipper Rohit Sharma lauded the team and said it was a pretty special feat to boast of an unblemished record in such an important tournament. “We went undefeated despite losing all five tosses. Yet, we still won the trophy. Across the five matches we played, we didn’t lose a single one. Winning a tournament without a single defeat is a massive achievement in itself, and it gives me immense satisfaction. To be honest, until we won the trophy, no one really thought about it. But after the victory, it hit us—we had gone through the entire tournament undefeated. That realization made it even more special. It’s difficult to put into words how that feels right now,” the captain said in an exclusive interaction with JioHotstar. “We have an incredibly solid team, and it’s a joy to play alongside such committed individuals.

Marco pushes the boundaries of violence in Indian cinema, but here’s why Kill remains undefeated in gore

Marco pushes the boundaries of violence in Indian cinema, but here’s why Kill remains undefeated in gore

Published by Parlour News

The discourse around Haneef Adeni’s Malayalam film Marco, starring Unni Mukundan in the lead role, reminds one of a bygone era when cinema overwhelmed people and elicited extreme reactions. “A woman threw up on my shirt,” reads one headline, while another proclaims, “It’s not for the faint of heart.” Much like when The Exorcist (1973) made people faint, vomit or leave the show midway. Good ol’ times! (Also Read: Fans surprised to see Marco actor Unni Mukundan speak fluent Gujarati: ‘Bro switching language like Netflix feature’) Unni Mukundan and Lakshya play the leads in Marco and Kill. And, of course, the proclamations of Marco dethroning Kill, Animal or Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire as the most violent Indian film, came soon after. The censor board asking the film’s team to censor or tone down certain scenes only solidified the belief that it ventured into unchartered territory. Fans of gore were in for a ride, but is the film really that good? The answer is both yes and no. Marco pushes the boundaries of violence Commercial …
