Train smarter, not harder — Ramji Srinivasan decodes how IPL’s OG superstars can stave off injuries

As the partnership blossomed, Mumbai’s bowlers struggled to make an impact, as none could find a breakthrough. It turned into another wicketless outing for Jasprit Bumrah, adding to Mumbai’s concerns.

Earlier, Arshdeep Singh gave Punjab the perfect start by removing Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav off successive deliveries, becoming the first Punjab Kings bowler to claim 100 IPL wickets.

Though Mumbai recovered through Dhir and de Kock’s counterattack, the total proved insufficient on a good batting surface, as Punjab’s clinical chase underlined its dominance and consistency this season.

With the chase executed with authority and calm, Punjab Kings once again showcased its depth and balance, leaving MI with plenty to ponder as its campaign continued to stutter.

#World #Athletics #denies #athletes #permission #change #nationality #Turkiye">World Athletics denies 11 athletes permission to change nationality to Turkiye

World Athletics on Thursday refused the applications of 11 elite athletes seeking to transfer their allegiance to Turkey in a hammer blow to the country’s medal chances at the 2028 Olympics.

Four top Jamaicans, including 2024 Olympic men’s discus gold medallist Roje Stona, and a quintet of Kenyans, among them former women’s marathon World Record-holder Brigid Kosgei, were among the 11 concerned.

The full list included Kosgei’s compatriots Catherine Relin (Selin Can) Amanang’ole, Brian Kibor, Ronald Kwemoi and Nelvin (Can) Jepkemboi, Stona’s fellow Jamaicans Rajindra Campbell, Jaydon Hibbert and Wayne Pinnock, Nigeria’s Favour Ofili and Russian Sophia Yakushina.

Turkey had been offering long-term financial support to recruit foreign track and field stars with the aim of winning a host of gold medals at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

The move was prompted by Turkye’s dire performance at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, where it failed to win a single gold among its eight medals across all sports.

But World Athletics deemed otherwise, saying that approval of the applications “would impinge upon and compromise the imperatives” underlying eligibility rules and transfer of allegiance regulations.

A World Athletics panel found that the applications “formed part of a coordinated recruitment strategy led by the Turkiye government acting through a wholly owned and financed government club”.

Their aim, track and field’s body said, was “to attract overseas athletes through lucrative contracts, with the aim of facilitating transfers of allegiance and enabling those athletes to represent Turkiye at future international competitions, including the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games”.

“Given the common features across the applications, the panel assessed them together and determined that such an approach is inconsistent with the core principles of the regulations.

“These principles are designed to safeguard the credibility of international competition, encourage member federations to invest in the development of domestic talent and maintain confidence among athletes that national teams are not primarily assembled through external recruitment.”

World Athletics concluded: “As a result of the decisions, the athletes are not eligible to represent Turkiye in national representative competitions or other relevant international events.”

  • Deadspin | Neymar on potential MLS move: ‘I honestly don’t know’  Neymar in Santos’ match against Cruzeiro at Estadio Urbano Caldeira, Santos, Brazil, on Dec. 7, 2025.   Brazilian star Neymar said he is still weighing his next move despite reports linking him to FC Cincinnati.  “I honestly don’t know,” the 34-year-old forward told ESPN on Thursday.  He added that he intends to finish his current contract at boyhood club Santos, which expires at the end of this year.  Neymar, captain of the club in Brazil’s Serie A, has been limited to eight matches in 2026 due to a knee injury. He has four goals and three assists.  Reports earlier this month said that FC Cincinnati officials were exploring options to bring Neymar to MLS this summer.   Neymar rejoined Santos, where he began his professional career from 2009-13, in 2025. He is best known for his time with world powerhouses Barcelona (2013-17) and Paris Saint-Germain (2017-23), playing alongside current MLS superstar Lionel Messi with both clubs.  An ankle injury slowed Neymar before his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, leading to a stint with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, where his brief tenure was halted by a torn anterior cruciate ligament.   A fixture on the Brazilian national team starting in 2013, Neymar hasn’t played for his country since 2023. He has stated publicly his desire to be on Brazil’s FIFA World Cup team this summer in North America.  –Field Level Media   #Deadspin #Neymar #potential #MLS #move #honestly #dontNeymar in Santos’ match against Cruzeiro at Estadio Urbano Caldeira, Santos, Brazil, on Dec. 7, 2025.
