<p>Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have their task cut out in a bid to stay alive in the playoffs race in IPL 2022 edition. The Ravindra Jadeja-led Yellow Army have not hit the ground running so far in the 15th season of the IPL, with only one win from six games.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The defending champions and four-time winners CSK got off the mark with a win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) -- in what was their fifth encounter -- and were on top versus Gujarat Titans (GT), in defence of a competitive 171, before David Miller-Rashid Khan's blitz took Gujarat past the finish line. While Chennai's batting has been expressive, their bowling has continued to let them down in crunch situations. Given they are facing arch-rivals and five-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI), who are the only team yet to get off the mark in IPL 2022, CSK will churn out their best XI to get the better of Mumbai on Thursday evening (April 21).</p>

<p>Serena Williams and Sir Lewis Hamilton, two of the biggest athletes in the modern era,&nbsp;are reportedly backing Sir Martin Broughton's bid to buy the English professional football club, Chelsea, with the superstars prepared to invest in buying the Stamford Bridge club.</p>

<p>According to a report in the Sky News, the seven-time Formula One champion Hamilton and the 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena are prepared to pledge as much as a whopping £10million each to the deal. As per speculations, the Chelsea FC is expected to be sold for around £2.5bn. It is reported that Sir Martin was in touch with the superstar duo Hamilton and Serena for quite some time and the deal is finally set to be taken forward.</p>

Chelsea, the current Champions League holders, have been up for sale since March following Russian owner&nbsp;Roman Abramovich being hit by sanctions from the government due to his ties to the country's&nbsp;president Vladimir Putin.

<p>There were a lot of speculations regarding the fate of the Delhi Capitals (DC) face-off with Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Wednesday evening (April 20) after the outbreak of Covid-19 cases in the Delhi camp.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With another foreign player in Tim Seifert testing positive for Covid-19, after Mitchell Marsh, the match went ahead as planned. The Rishabh Pant-led Delhi franchise stepped onto the field battling a lot of stress, confusion and not a perfect prepration in the build-up to the game. However, the one-time runners-up&nbsp;didn't put a foot wrong to thrash Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab by nine wickets at the Brabourne Stadium Mumbai to claim match 32 convincingly in IPL 2022.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the post-match presentation, a jubilant Pant said, "Obviously there was confusion in our camp because in the morning we got to know that Tim (Seifert) is also positive. There was some confusion, nervousness and what are we going to do now kinda feeling, but we spoke in the team meeting and pointed out on what we can focus, there was so much noise from the outside that we thought we will focus on the match.

West Indies white-ball captain Kieron Pollard on Wednesday announced his retirement from international cricket though he will continue to freelance in private T20 and T10 leagues across the globe. The 34-year-old Pollard, who made his ODI debut back in 2007, fittingly played his last series against India, a country which has become his second home due to his long association with Mumbai Indians. "Hi all, after careful deliberation, I have decided to retire from international cricket. It was a dream of mine to play for West Indies since I was a 10-year-old boy and I am proud to represent the West Indies for over 15 years in T20 and ODI format of the game," Pollard announced on his official Instagram page.

<p>Russian and Belarusian players will not be allowed to compete at Wimbledon 2022 because of the invasion of Ukraine, the organisers confirmed in a statement on Wednesday. With this decision, men`s world number two Daniil Medvedev of Russia and women`s world number four Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus are the highest-ranked players to be affected.<br />
<br />
Ian Hewitt, Chairman of the All England Club, said that in the circumstances of such unjustified and unprecedented military aggression by Russia, it would be unacceptable for the Russian regime to derive any benefits from the involvement of Russian or Belarusian players with `The Championships`.<br />
<br />
"We recognise that this is hard on the individuals affected, and it is with sadness that they will suffer for the actions of the leaders of the Russian regime. It is therefore our intention, with deep regret, to decline entries from Russian and Belarusian players to The Championships 2022.<br />
<br />
"We have very carefully considered the alternative measures that might be taken within the UK Government guidance but, given the high profile environment of The Championships, the importance of not allowing sport to be used to promote the Russian regime and our broader concerns for public and player (including family) safety, we do not believe it is viable to proceed on any other basis at The Championships," he said in a statement.<br />
<br />
With this decision, men`s world number two Daniil Medvedev of Russia and women`s world number four Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus are the highest-ranked players to be affected.<br />
<br />
"On behalf of the All England Club and the Committee of Management of The Championships, we wish to express our ongoing support for all those impacted by the conflict in Ukraine during these shocking and distressing times," he said.</p>

<p>"We share in the universal condemnation of Russia`s illegal actions and have carefully considered the situation in the context of our duties to the players, to our community and to the broader UK public as a British sporting institution. We have also taken into account guidance set out by the UK Government specifically in relation to sporting bodies and events.<br />
<br />
"Given the profile of The Championships in the United Kingdom and around the world, it is our responsibility to play our part in the widespread efforts of Government, industry, sporting and creative institutions to limit Russia`s global influence through the strongest means possible," he said in a statement.<br />
<br />
However, Ian Hewitt said that if circumstances change materially between now and June, we will consider and respond accordingly.<br />

On Tuesday evening (April 19), Kohli returned with a golden duck in RCB's face-off versus KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), where the former won by 18 runs.</p>

<p>Seeing Kohli's poor run of form, India's former opening batter and internet sensation Wasim Jaffer shared a hilarious post. Here's what he shared depicting the former RCB skipper's barren run as the post&nbsp;went viral in no time:</p>

<p>Talking about Kohli, he&nbsp;has now gone 100 matches across all formats without a century - 17 Tests, 21 ODIs, 25 T20Is and 37 IPL games. Speaking on his poor form, former India head coach Ravi Shastri has suggested Kohli to opt for a long break. "I&nbsp;am going straight to the main guy here. Virat Kohli is overcooked. If anyone needs a break, it's him. Whether it's 2 months or a month-and-a-half, whether it's after England or before England. He needs a break because he has got 6-7 years of cricket left in him and you don't want to lose that with a fried brain. He is not the only one. There might be 1 or 2 in world cricket going through the same. You need to address the problem upfront," Shastri told on Star Sports.</p>


Virat Kohli has had a poor run in IPL 2022 so far. In seven outings for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the 33-year-old Kohli has managed only 119 runs at 19.

IPL 2022: Wasim Jaffer wins the internet with hilarious post depicting Virat Kohli's poor form

<p>Former world number three Pam Shriver said she had an "inappropriate and damaging relationship" with her coach which began when she was 17-years-old, and warned that coaching relationships are common in tennis. In a Telegraph column published on Wednesday, the 22-time Grand Slam doubles champion said she started working with Australian coach Don Candy at the age of nine and he helped her reach the U.S. Open final in 1978 as a 16-year-old.</p>

<p>Shriver said the pair began an affair, which lasted just over five years, when she told the 50-year-old Candy she had fallen in love with him. "I still have conflicted feelings about Don," Shriver said. "Yes, he and I became involved in a long and inappropriate affair. Yes, he was cheating on his wife. But there was a lot about him that was honest and authentic. And I loved him. Even so, he was the grown-up here. He should have been the trustworthy adult... Only after therapy did I start to feel a little less responsible. Now, at last, I`ve come to realise that what happened is on him."</p>

<p>Shriver added that the relationship with Candy, who died in 2020, impacted her time on court as well as the ability to form normal relationships later in life. She said the affair ended when she started looking for a new coach, although she kept Candy on as a consultant, and described the following four seasons as the best of her career.</p>

<p>"Don never abused me sexually, but I would say there was emotional abuse. I felt so many horrendous emotions and I felt so alone," Shriver said. The 59-year-old, who has been working as a broadcaster since retiring from tennis in 1997, said she has seen "dozens of instances" of abusive coaching relationships in tennis in the last four decades.</p>

<p>"I think it`s possible to educate young athletes, but you probably have to start before they even reach puberty," Shriver said. "By the time they graduate to the main tennis tour, many patterns have already been set. "And then there`s the coaches. The best way to protect their charges is to put them through an education process before they arrive on tour.</p>

<p>"The point has to be made very clearly: these kinds of relationships are not appropriate, and there will be consequences for those who cross the line."</p>
