Team India are all set to play a five-match Test series in England against England right after the conclusion of the ongoing IPL 2025. However, which players will make the squad remains uncertain, especially after a disappointing Test series defeat against Australia down under. Recently, India’s experienced batter Cheteshwar Pujara had an exclusive conversation with RevSportz’s Editor-in-Chief, Boria Mazumdar. In that episode of ‘Backstage with Boria’, Pujara spoke about the future of Test cricket and the BCCI’s decision to ask players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to play domestic cricket. When asked whether it is a concern that many…

Cristiano Ronaldo’s dreams of adding an AFC Champions League crown to the five UEFA Champions League titles he won with Manchester United (2008) and Real Madrid (2014, 2016-18) went up in smoke as Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale caused a massive upset in the semi final by beating Al-Nassr 3-2. The Japanese side had just 25 per cent possession but were clinical with their chances, while Ronaldo alone wasted three excellent chances in added-on time at the end of the game. With three Saudi teams having made it to the last four, you would have got short odds on an all-Saudi final.…

The decision was made during the 41st AINAGOC Board of Directors meeting at Nagoya City Hall on April 28, where Mixed Martial Arts was also approved. Although the specific venue for cricket hasn’t been finalised, it will take place somewhere in Aichi prefecture.

That…

Al-Ahli made full use of home advantage at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah to upset Al-Hilal, four-time Asian champions, 3-1 and enter the final of the AFC Champions League Elite. First-half goals from Roberto Firmino and Ivan Toney put them in control, and Kalidou Koulibaly’s red card for a reckless challenge meant there was no way back for the Riyadh-based Al-Hilal. Firmino won the UEFA Champions League with Liverpool in 2019 and, wearing the captain’s armband, he gave his side the perfect start with a clinical first-time finish past Yassine Bounou after a left-wing cross from Galeno. Toney’s…

Antonio Rudiger has been hit with a six-game ban in the aftermath of the disgraceful scenes towards the end of last Saturday’s Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Rudiger had already been substituted with an injury, but he flung the object in the direction of Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, the referee, after the Madrid bench were incensed by a foul given against Kylian Mbappe. The ban will have little practical impact, since it rules Rudiger out for the last five matches of this LaLiga season and the first one in 2025-26. He is already sidelined after undergoing…

If Arsenal are to reach their second UEFA Champions League final, they will have to do it the hard way, after an Ousmane Dembele goal in the fourth minute gave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) a vital 1-0 victory in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium. PSG, who bossed the early exchanges, had chances late on through Bradley Barcola and Gonçalo Ramos, while Arsenal were left to reflect on a Mikel Merino header ruled out for offside by VAR early in the second half. The goal came from a sniping run by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia down the left. His delightful cut-back with…
