NEW CHANDIGARH: They call him the Prince, and on Friday he played like one. Not the ceremonial kind, but the kind who shows up when the kingdom needs him most, takes the sword off the wall, and gets on with it.
Shubman Gill didn’t just chase down the target of 215 so much as he dissected it. On a night when Rajasthan Royals had once again ridden the exhilarating batting of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the Gujarat Titans captain offered a masterclass in a different art form altogether.
There was no frenzy, no desperate slogging, no sense of a side under pressure in a knockout game.

West Ham United could have signed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for €20m but paid €35m for Nikola Vlasic instead
West Ham United and Newcastle United were both keen on signing Paris Saint-Germain attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Georgian was available for €20 million in 2021, but the Hammers decided to spend €35m on Nikola Vlasic, then at CSKA Moscow. However, the Croatian lasted just one season at the London Stadium club and is regarded as a West Ham flop.

After going 5-12 in 2025, it was clear that the Washington Commanders needed to make some big changes this offseason.
That’s exactly what they did, especially on defense. The team added Leo Chenal, Odafe Oweh, K’Lavon Chaisson, Amik Robertson, and others in free agency, while adding star linebacker Sonny Styles in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. It’s clear that Dan Quinn’s defense should be better than it was in 2025, and if Jayden Daniels can play close to his 2024 form, this team could be scary.

Oscar Cluff joined Purdue men’s basketball to elevate his game en route to his professional career.
The competition – national champion Michigan, Final Four teams Illinois and Arizona and several others in a tough Big Ten – provided a platform to showcase his pro potential.
After Thursday’s pre-draft workout with the Golden State Warriors, Cluff also name-dropped the other side of those competitions. When asked what about his one season as a Boilermaker made him a better NBA prospect, the 6-foot-10 center credited Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer and Trey Kaufman-Renn.

Walk through Arsenal‘s Sobha Realty Training Centre and the psychology of Mikel Arteta’s rebuild is written into the building itself. On the walls. In the gym. In the corridors. Some messages are clear, others more cryptic.
“Everything matters.”
“Have you made your car faster?”
“Me x me = we.
