Iyer, 23, became the fourth-youngest skipper in IPL history by taking over from Gautam Gambhir – who was dropped for the clash at Feroz Shah Kotla – after the Daredevils’ woeful start to the campaign left them bottom of the table, and he began his tenure with a crucial knock in a comfortable 55-run triumph. The India international made his fifty off 29 deliveries before an electrifying partnership with Glenn Maxwell (27) added 73 runs from just 32 balls, helping get Delhi - who announced Junior Dala has replaced the injured Chris Morris in their squad for the remainder of the season - out of sight....

Samarth Tuli, all of 10 years of age, and Laabibah, older only by a couple of years, reflected the bonhomie and camaraderie that filled the Boeing 737 cabin with infectious energy and enthusiasm as 26 athletes from Jammu and Kashmir were among the first to be flown in for the Games. SpiceJet is operating eight flights to make it easy for the young athletes to reach the Assam capital....

MORE: NFL’s highest-paid players | Richest defenders The Texans’ stud defensive end on Sunday unveiled the new branding for his Reebok gear on his social media accounts.

Rovell also noted that Reebok may soon be launching a Watt signature training shoe. So far, according to Rovell, the company hasn’t sold much Watt-related stuff....

If you’ve watched the Cavs on the fast break this season, you may have noticed Smith connecting with LeBron James for some ridiculous alley-oops — and by connecting I mean Smith tosses the ball somewhere in the air and James has to figure out how to reach it.

Morant was selected second overall by the Grizzlies in the 2019 NBA Draft, after Williamson went first to the Pelicans. Williamson, who played just one season of college basketball at Duke before declaring for the draft, was the heavy favorite for Rookie of the Year honors going into the season, but then he suffered a torn meniscus in October, delaying his professional debut until January. He has been spectacular since returning from injury, averaging 23....

On both May 4th (Star Wars Day) and May 5th (Revenge of the Fifth), the newly cast Borderlands movie actor put out a respective Instagram video to commemorate these important days in the world of nerdy stuff. Clad in a bathrobe and some comfy summer wear out by the pool, he began the festivities by acting out a scene from Revenge of the Sith that has become rather meme-worthy in the years since its original premiere....

The beautiful of Malta played host to the 14th edition of the GPI European Poker Awards, sponsored by PokerStars and Swiss watchmaker Roger Dubuis. Europe’s best poker players were in attendance hoping to put take on one of the GPI trophies home by night’s end.

Pinkett Smith previously tweeted that “there’s some healing that needs to happen…so I’m bringing myself to the Red Table,” on July 2, and many were excited to hear the confessional. During the highly anticipated 13-minute episode of Red Table Talk, Pinkett Smith and her husband addressed the alleged affair at the table. They decided to come together and speak up because it got to the point where they had to say something to stop the cycle....

In case you didn’t know… Hudson-Odoi has been subject to a transfer away from Stamford Bridge, with Bayern having approached the Blues not once but thrice; their latest bid being worth £35 million. Germany is turning into a place where young English stars, who quite can’t break into their senior squads, thrive. The above statement’s best justification is Jadon Sancho, who has taken the Bundesliga by storm since his move from Manchester City - a decision that was then billed as risky by many....

The Buccaneers offensive coordinator is expected to interview for the Jaguars’ head-coaching job in the near future, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Jacksonville selected Leftwich with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, and he played for the Jaguars from 2003-06. After starting his coaching career with Bruce Arians’ Cardinals staff in 2016, Leftwich reconnected with Arians in 2019, and he has earned plenty of praise from both Arians and Bucs quarterback Tom Brady over the past two seasons....

MORE: Updated NFL playoff picture for Week 18 Jacksonville was fighting to avoid the NFL cellar in Week 18 last season. This year, it has a chance to qualify for the postseason. The Jaguars are in control of their own destiny entering Saturday’s game against the Titans and will have a chance to secure their first AFC South division title since 2017, and just their second overall. And even if they can’t do that, there is still one scenario that could get them into the playoffs as a wild card....

LAS VEGAS — If nothing else, 21-year-old Jamie Munguia proved Saturday that he’s going to bring excitement to the super welterweight division. Munguia pounded out a unanimous 12-round decision over Liam “Beefy” Smith in a wildly entertaining fight at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, the main event of HBO’s “Boxing After Dark.” He may be a little rough around the edges and his defense has some holes, but Munguia showed that style of pressing forward and launching punches can be punishing....

He’s a vicious thumper whose wrecking ball of a left hook often leaves his foes in heaps of despair. Sadam Ali can attest to that. Munguia used the devastating weapon to punctuate his fourth-round TKO of Ali last May in a bout that had him delivering four knockdowns before being crowned the winner and new WBO junior middleweight champion of the world. The slow-motion replay of Ali crashing to the canvas resembled something out of an ugly high-speed collision between an 18-wheeler and a coupe, with Ali totaled and Munguia walking away unscathed....

It’s an insidious disease that usually presents later in life (people in their 60s) and eventually causes thrombosis (think stroke) in one third of all people affected.

Sonnen has seemingly lent his support to Jake Paul and emphasized that ‘The Problem Child’ made the right decision by refraining from putting himself under scrutiny. Tommy Fury’s father, legendary boxing trainer John Fury, recently suggested that Jake Paul could be using banned PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs). Speaking to Rob Moore, He claimed that Jake Paul hasn’t agreed to undergo VADA testing for his fight against Tommy Fury. However, John Fury was quick to highlight that he’s still confident his son will defeat the YouTube megastar-turned-boxer....

Both teams will be playing their first matches of the tournament. Railways Women have various in-form players which gives them an upper advantage over other one-day trophy teams.

Now there’s a genre that many probably haven’t heard in a long time, while many others hear it on a daily basis. Like Guardians of the Galaxy, Peacemaker looks like it will go back to Gunn’s preferred style of licensing classic hits that fit perfectly with what’s happening on screen. Sure, The Suicide Squad was no slouch when it came to its soundtrack. But in contrast to that film’s rather eclectic range of musical choices, Peacemaker will be much more focused, just like its central character....

In his introductory press conference in Philadelphia, Harden mentioned it would be “go time” after the All-Star break and he upheld his end of the bargain, ready to take the floor against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday....
