Following a proposal to reintroduce V10 engines in Formula 1, FIA has now officially confirmed that the proposal has been rejected at a meeting at the Bahrain Grand Prix between FIA and F1 to discuss engine options. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem had advocated for the return of V10 engines, despite new 2026-2030 engine regulations that are in contrast with Sulayem’s suggestions. Senior members from F1 including CEO of FOM Stefano Domenicali, FIA Single-Seater Director Nikolas Tombazis as well as a number of team figures such Toto Wolff, Fred Vasseur and Christian Horner, were present at the meeting. While the…

The Indian Premier League has always been a tournament that has thrived on territorial dominance with its home and away format. But this season the ‘home advantage’ debate keeps heating up, and last night it was once again back in the spotlight—when Kolkata Knight Riders handed Chennai Super Kings a crushing 8-wicket defeat at the impenetrable fortress of Chepauk. Unfortunately, this wasn’t just one back night for CSK, the franchise has now lost five games on the trot. The ‘home advantage’ debate was sparked earlier this season when Ajinkya Rahane publicly expressed that he would prefer a spin-friendly track at…

The very essence of the Indian Premier League is home advantage, roaring local fan bases and iconic fortresses. The madness of Wankhede, the intimidation of Eden Gardens, the batting paradise of Chinnaswamy and the fortress of Chepauk. But in the past few seasons, something bizarre has been unfolding—the concept of ‘home advantage’ has been increasingly diminishing, with teams no longer dominating at home, instead frequently losing. Several factors come into play, and at the forefront is the ‘pitch’ with franchises vocalising about a lack of collaboration with the pitch curators. At the forefront of this growing anomaly is Kolkata Knight…

There are certain stories, certain interactions that will always stay with you, and a ten-minute conversation with Rani Rampal proved to be one of the most impactful ones that I have had in my life. All because of how raw, real and honest it was. From broken beginnings to unshakeable resolve, born in mud and dust, a dream held together not by luck but by sheer grit and determination. Rani’s story is about a young girl who once watched women play hockey in Kurukshetra and thought: “Maybe if I play, I could change my life, or I will die in…

A young, promising and talented 22 year-old batter walking off the field, dejected, having been ‘retired-hurt’ by the coach is never a sight cricket fans want to watch. As Tilak Varma walked off the field in the last game after a sluggish innings, the young batter found himself in the headlines, alongside the MI skipper Hardik Pandya and Head Coach Mahela Jayawardene, who had made the decision to sub-out Varma. The bizarre incident took social media by storm. In hindsight, the sub did not change anything for MI; they were already on a downhill slope with Mitchell Santner replacing Tilak…

On Sunday evening, as Mumbai Indians (MI) prepared to play their fifth match of the IPL 2025 season, news that fans had eagerly been waiting on finally dropped—Jasprit Bumrah back in the MI squad after an injury layoff of almost two months. While the Mumbai-based franchise will be ecstatic about Bumrah’s return to a lineup that seems lacklustre without him, his comeback means more than just that. In the fifth and final Test between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground last January, when skipper Bumrah walked off the field, into the dressing and then out to car that…

MS Dhoni carries with him a sense of nostalgia and reminiscence every time he steps out on the field and yesterday the entire nation was glued to their screens ahead of the CSK game at Chepauk with bated breath. The anticipation wasn’t for the game in itself, but there was one thing that had everyone talking—it was the question on everyone’s minds: Is this MS Dhoni’s final season in the IPL? Fans speculated left and right and the news of Dhoni’s parents in the stadium only added fuel to the fire. But of course, Dhoni being Dhoni, no one really…

In the backdrop of the opening ceremony, and an opening match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the energy at Eden Gardens was electric. A star-studded opening ceremony, the added factor of Virat Kohli and Shahrukh Khan’s presence and a sea of purple and gold. Three days before the game, when the KKR team bus rolled into the stadium, a mob of supporters swarmed the entrance, eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of their heroes—fans, unaware of the training schedule, would stand outside the Eden Gardens all day, unbothered by the Kolkata heat.
