Candidates 2026: Javokhir Sindarov’s whirlwind start makes him firm favourite at halfway stage in Open section | Chess News

3 min readApr 6, 2026 07:19 PM IST The race for the Open event title at the Candidates 2026 tournament has effectively become a two-way battle between Javokhir Sindarov and Fabiano Caruana. However, the Uzbek’s lead is so commanding that even at the halfway stage, it would now be a big shock for pre-tournament favourite Caruana to win the event. Competing in his first Candidates, Sindarov’s dominance has been absolute. He has forced decisive results against five opponents in a tournament where a draw is often as good as a win. He took down Indian hope R Praggnanandhaa, Caruana, Hikaru Nakamura, Wei Yi and Andrey Esipenko while only Anish Giri and Matthias Blübaum could hold him to a draw. Since the introduction of the current Candidates format, a score of 6.0/7 is the best-ever start by any eventual winner, including such names as Magnus Carlsen, Viswanathan Anand, Sergey Karjakin, Caruana, Ian Nepomniachtchi (twice) and D Gukesh. But the Uzbek phenom stands above the rest at the halfway mark, outscoring Nepomniachtchi’s previous-best run by half a …

David has also set a new record for most runs scored by a batter in the death overs (Overs 17-20) of an innings in an IPL match. The Australian scored 68 of his …

IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals pace battery demolishes CSK batting before Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s whirlwind knock secures dominant win | Cricket News

New-look Chennai Super Kings’ attacking approach falls flat as seamers set up big win for Rajasthan Royals. Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals. Sanju Samson in yellow and Ravindra Jadeja in pink. All the talk in the lead-up to the fixture was on the two players who had exchanged their home bases. And Round 1 went Jadeja’s way, as the left-arm spinner played a supporting role to the pacers to give Royals a winning start to the season. From the moment the coin fell their way, they hardly put a foot wrong. Their pace pack, led by Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger, set up the win in the Powerplay itself. Chasing 128 on a tacky pitch, Rajasthan didn’t blink. And leading their charge was 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who hit a 15-ball half-century. His 52 off 17 deliveries, comprising four boundaries and five sixes, made Chennai freeze. The two sixes off Noor Ahmad showed his continuing evolution. After the multiple blows that they faced in the first half of the match, it was Sooryavanshi’s whirlwind knock …

What emoji did these SRH players think of after that Absolute Abhishek whirlwind last night? | Ipl News

After their stupendous 8-wicket win over Punjab Kings with a rollicking chase led by Abhishek Sharma, Sunrisers Hyderabad were in good spirits as their run of losses was halted in style. It brought out the unofficial celebratory song ‘Tigerland’ borrowed from Melburnian Aussie rules football side Richmond. But two reactions were priceless. Travis Head stood jaw-opened and grinning as his Indian teammates joyously crooned the catchy number, not needing to refer to lyrics on smartphones. The second was skipper Pat Cummins who seemed to be searching for an emoji for what has become Abhishek Sharma’s patent celebration. When players were asked about one emoji that best summed up victory, Nitish Kumar Reddy went for the Korean arch-heart, the overhead symbol. 💗. Story continues below this ad Ishan Kishan as is his won’t, didn’t bother to stick to the available emojis, and went with the scary Pushpa neck – saw move. Or was it Marie Antoinette – because it went right to left. Harshal Patel who struck a few braking blows on Punjab’s rampaging stuck to …

Suzhal The Vortex Season 2 review: A whirlwind of characters dished out in an average follow-up to the murder mystery | Web Series

Feb 28, 2025 11:52 AM IST Suzhal – The Vortex Season 2 review: The show returns with a murder mystery as Sakkarai investigates the death of lawyer Chellappa. Suzhal – The Vortex Season 2 review: When directors and writers Pushkar and Gayatri created the web series Suzhal – The Vortex in 2022, it was refreshing and they made their mark creating the first-ever, gripping, long-format storytelling in Tamil for OTT. Since then, the talented couple has created numerous other successful web series and now are back with season 2 of Suzhal – The Vortex. Suzhal – The Vortex Season 2 continues the gripping narrative from its 2022 predecessor but lacks the same depth. The plot As season 2 opens in Kaalipattanam, we find Nandini (Aishwarya Rajesh) in prison for the murder of her sister’s abuser using SI Sakkarai aka Chakravarthy’s (Kathir) service revolver (as seen in Season 1). Lawyer Chellappa (Lal), who’s like a father to Sakkarai, is now fighting Nandini’s case and is hoping to get her released but things take a drastic turn …

India vs England ODI series: In his whirlwind century, Rohit Sharma showed he knows how to construct an innings | Cricket News

India vs England ODI series: In his whirlwind century, Rohit Sharma showed he knows how to construct an innings | Cricket News

If there was anything to worry about Rohit Sharma the ODI player, it was settled in two shots early on in his innings in the second ODI against England at Cuttack. A flicked six over wide midwicket in the second over off Gus Atkinson and a hit over long-off in the fifth over off Saqib Mahmood. Rohit owns that shot – the way the hands move through the line, kicking up the imagery of a father lifting his daughter and throwing her up in joy in one swooping fluid motion. In the one Ranji Trophy game he played and was trolled after getting out cheaply in both innings, he had played that straight hit once; perhaps the confidence-revival kickstarted then. Rohit’s 90-ball 119, including seven sixes, would seem like a whirlwind knock, but a lot of planning went into its construction. “I really broke it down into pieces about how I wanted to bat,” he said after the game. “It’s a 50-over format, a little longer than the T20 format and a lot shorter than …
