Unai Emery lifts his 5th Europa League title as Aston Villa decimate Freiburg in final

Istanbul: Aston Villa completed one of the most memorable nights in the club’s modern history by defeating SC Freiburg 3-0 in the Europa League final in Istanbul. With that, the England club ended a 30-year wait for silverware and collected their first major European trophy since 1982. The triumph marked another landmark achievement for manager Unai Emery, whose remarkable record in the competition continued with a fifth Europa League title. Notably, Villa controlled the final from the outset and nearly struck within minutes when Morgan Rogers forced a save from Noah Atubolu. The breakthrough eventually arrived shortly before half-time through…

Ahead of Eid, Mahua moves court over cattle slaughter curbs

The Trinamool Congress has legally challenged a recent notification by the West Bengal government aimed at regulating the slaughter of cows and buffaloes ahead of Eid. During a Calcutta High Court hearing on Wednesday, Member of Parliament Mahua Moitra argued that the new restrictions would severely hit poor cattle rearers across the state, and requested an immediate exemption. The legal challenge was formally brought forward by Trinamool MLA Akhruzzaman. His petition targets a state government directive that explicitly bans the slaughter of bulls, bullocks, cows, calves, and buffaloes unless a "fit certificate" is issued by the authorities. According to…

Why is Matheesha Pathirana not playing vs Mumbai Indians in KKR’s must-win clash in IPL 2026?

Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders are without Matheesha Pathirana for their crucial IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians. The Sri Lankan fast bowler, who made his debut for KKR against Gujarat Titans, walked off after bowling only eight deliveries following discomfort in his calf. The same injury had troubled him during the T20 World Cup 2026. As a result, Pathirana is unavailable for the match against Mumbai, with Rovman Powell coming into the side as his replacement. KKR, however, received a boost with Varun Chakaravarthy returning to the XI after missing the previous games against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans.…

KKR remain alive in IPL playoffs race with typical win over Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens

Kolkata: During their most successful years, Kolkata Knight Riders often relied on a simple but effective approach. Their spinners would control the game in the middle overs before a top-order batter, frequently Gautam Gambhir, guided the chase with controlled aggression at a strike rate around 130-140. After enduring a winless start in their first six matches of IPL 2026, KKR appear to have rediscovered that winning template. Facing Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens, the hosts once again strangled the opposition with disciplined bowling, restricting Hardik Pandya’s side to 147 in the first innings. They lost four wickets in the powerplay…

The move is being viewed as a symbolic demonstration against what players believe is an increasingly uneven distribution of revenue at Grand Slam events. Some of the sport’s biggest figures are understood to be involved in wider discussions…

Washington: Donald Trump has again hinted that a deal to end the conflict with Iran may be arriving soon, but not before he served another warning to Tehran, asking it to sign the deal soon, failing which the US may launch fresh strikes.

The remarks come as media reports that Washington and Tehran may be close to reaching a breakthrough agreement. "We’re in the final stages of Iran. We’ll see what happens."

FIFA World Cup 2026 broadcast still in jeopardy, DD Sports also rejects request

New Delhi: With nearly 20 days left for the FIFA World Cup 2026 to begin, uncertainty remains regarding its broadcasting in India. The issue reached the Delhi High Court earlier in the week, where Prasar Bharati clarified that it does not bear responsibility for securing broadcasting rights for the competition in the country. The matter came up before Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav during proceedings linked to a petition that sought intervention to guarantee telecast access for Indian viewers. The plea requested that major matches from the tournament, including the opener, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final be made available on public platforms…

Cameron Green, Saurabh Dubey rattle Mumbai Indians’ top order in KKR’s must-win clash in IPL 2026

Kolkata: Cameron Green endured a difficult first half of IPL 2026, facing heavy criticism for his limited contribution with the ball. Even after he began bowling regularly, the Australian all-rounder struggled to make an impact, leading to speculation that KKR could alter their combination with Rovman Powell available as an option. Instead, the franchise chose to persist with Green and left out Blessing Muzarabani. A six-day break in the schedule proved to be a turning point. Green rediscovered form with both bat and ball and he carried that momentum into KKR’s must-win clash against Mumbai Indians. The 26-year-old struck early…
