Dhoni had missed CSK’s opening match against Rajasthan Royals after the franchise confirmed that he would be sidelined for around two weeks due to a calf strain. He did not travel with the squad to Guwahati and was ruled out just before the season opener.

The quarter-finals of the FA Cup take place this weekend as club football returns following the international break.
Manchester City host rivals Liverpool in a blockbuster clash to start the weekend, in what is a repeat of the 2022 semi-final at Wembley. The Reds won out that day, on their way to winning the competition, while City claimed Wembley glory a year later in 2023.
Later on Saturday, Chelsea host League One side Port Vale, the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition, who will be eyeing another upset after defeating Sunderland in the fifth round.

PHOENIX (AP) — Matt Olson, Dominic Smith and Mauricio Dubón hit solo homers, Reynaldo López gave up one run over five innings and the Atlanta Braves coasted to a 17-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night in the opener of a four-game series.
The Braves broke it open with an eight-run fifth, sending 12 batters to plate to take a 10-1 lead. Austin Riley and Michael Harris II had two-run doubles and Ozzie Albies brought home two more with a single.
It was a frustrating inning for the D-backs — partly thanks to technology.

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks were once again undone by a single inning, a recurring issue that resurfaced in their 17-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday to open a four-game series.

The Oklahoma City Thunder got a massive 139-96 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. It was an impressive win for the Thunder, especially since the Lakers have been one of the NBA’s hottest teams over the past month.
From the outside, it looked like the Thunder were overly focused on beating the Lakers.

Phil Parkinson says Wrexham will face a West Bromwich Albion side “scrapping for their lives” when they meet at the Hawthorns in the Championship on Friday.
While Wrexham are looking to maintain their play-off push, West Brom are battling at the other end of the table.
The Baggies are four points above the relegation zone after four games unbeaten, and Parkinson says Wrexham will have to be ready against a team that won 3-2 at the Stok Cae Ras last August when Ryan Mason was their head coach.

When the Chicago Sky looked at their August 8 matchup against the Indiana Fever, they clearly saw something bigger than a normal regular-season game. So they treated it that way.
Instead of keeping it in their usual home arena, Chicago is taking the game to the United Center. That’s not a small adjustment.

Lakers fans are hoping this is not as bad as it first looked.
In the third quarter of the Thunder blowing out the Lakers by more than 30, Luka Doncic tried to drive on Jalen Williams, pulled up sharply for what looked to be a jumper, but then instantly dropped the ball, grabbing his hamstring in pain. After being on the ground for a minute, he limped directly to the locker room under his own power, but was very emotional about the injury.

Look at the Devils delivering maximum damage to a pair of Metropolitan Division rivals this week, although in very different ways.
First, on Tuesday, they rolled over and played dead for a hapless Rangers team that got two points that won’t help them in their race to the bottom for Gavin McKenna.
