On Monday evening (April 11), the Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans (GT) lost their first-ever game in IPL 2022 after being unbeaten post three outings. Facing an inconsistent Kane Williamson's Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the Gujarat team fell behind by 8 wickets at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai.

While it was a tough encounter for skipper Hardik, who lost his first game as an IPL captain, the all-rounder tried his level best to keep the new franchise's unbeaten streak alive. The flamboyant cricketer returned with an unbeaten 42-ball 50*&nbsp;and later also chipped in with a wicket&nbsp; (4-0-27-1) in SRH's 163-run chase to play his role with distinction.&nbsp;

During his unbeaten half-century, Hardik achieved a huge record as well. The 28-year-old all-rounder smacked a huge 86-m six, off Aiden Markram, to become the fastest Indian to hit 100 maximums in IPL history. Here's the video of his monstrous hit:

Gujarat Titans' skipper Hardik Pandya becomes fastest Indian to hit 100 IPL sixes with 86m shot - Watch

Match 22 of IPL 2022 will see two highly-followed teams take on each other. The defending champions and winless Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will lock horns with a high-flying Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai on Tuesday (April 12).&nbsp;

The clash will be a marquee affair as it reunites old friends and teammates. Faf du Plessis will try to keep his emotions in check as he is will lead RCB against his previous franchise, which gave him thundering success for more than five years. CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja and former captain MS Dhoni will also reunite with Virat Kohli. Thus, the match is sure to turn heads as cricket fans will be spoilt for choices with many big names involved in the CSK-RCB clash.&nbsp;

Talking about CSK, the Yellow Army has no end to their miseries. With no Faf, Ruturaj Gaikwad hasn't found his rhythm and is facing the pressure at the top. The likes of Moeen Ali, Robin Uthappa, and Ambati Rayudu also need to step up and be more consistent. Dhoni's presence and power-hitting are required for the Chennai setup whereas Jadeja will have to be more proactive and think out of the box to produce favourable results for his franchise.&nbsp;

On the other hand, RCB is moving ahead confidently. They've ticked quite a few boxes with openers and finishers doing the job and bowlers also chipping in at regular intervals. Harshal Patel and Wanindu Hasaranga have been most successful with the ball, however, the former's absence -- due to personal reasons -- will test RCB if CSK gets going.&nbsp;

Match prediction for CSK-RCB clash: While CSK enjoys a better head-to-head record, the momentum is with RCB at the moment. With dew to be a big factor in the evening game, toss will once again have a big role with the winning captain opting to bowl first (no-brainer). Despite a key bowler out of action, RCB is expected to keep CSK winless, who are struggling with their Deepak Chahar-less bowling unit.&nbsp;

CSK vs RCB, IPL 2022 prediction today: Who will win Chennai Super Kings-Royal Challengers Bangalore match?

KL Rahul was going to be one of the main batters for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their stiff 166-run chase versus the one-time winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 20 of the IPL 2022 edition. However, captain Rahul fell for a first-ball duck in LSG's run-chase, to push the team on the back foot before they eventually lost the clash by mere three runs.

Talking about Rahul's dismissal, he was left gobsmacked by an absolute jaffa from RR pacer Trent Boult who bowled an inswinger from round the wicket. The delivery left Rahul with no time to react as the right-hander saw his stumps getting rattled in a jiffy. Here's the video of Rahul's dismissal:

In-form American and current world No. 1, Scottie Scheffler carded a final round 71 at the famed Augusta National to earn his first major title and fourth win on the PGA Tour here on Sunday. Scheffler, who went 10-under for the tournament, finishing three strokes ahead of Northern Ireland`s former world No. 1 Rory McIlroy, became the first player to win four times in a six-start stretch on the PGA Tour since Australian golfer Jason Day in 2015. 
 
Scheffler held off the chasing pack to further cement his position as No. 1 on the FedEx Cup standings and Official World Golf Ranking. The American also became the sixth player to win in his first PGA Tour start as world No. 1 and sixth world No. 1 to win the Masters as he aggregated 10-under 278 for the tournament. 
 
Tiger Woods finished 47th in his first start since the 2020 Masters and some 14 months after a horrific car mishap, which led to serious leg injuries. Among Asians, South Korea`s Sungjae Im settled for a second top-10 finish in three starts at the Masters. A cold putter proved to be a bane for the 24-year-old in his chase for major glory as he signed for a disappointing 3-over 75, finishing nine back of Scheffler.

Defending champion Hideki Matsuyama closed with a 72 to finish tied-14th, which was a commendable effort considering he was battling a back injury for a month leading up to the Masters. 
 
After missing birdie attempts on his first three holes, Im dropped the first of six bogeys at the par 3 fourth hole, and it was subsequently uphill for the two-time PGA Tour winner, who was runner-up in his Masters debut in 2020. 
 
"It was a little bit disappointing. I missed a lot of putts," rued Im, who averaged 1.83 putts per green in regulation, his highest of the week. "Overall, I think top-10 is good, and I am happy especially when I didn`t play well." 
 
The top-10 guaranteed a quick return to the year`s first major which Im intends to keep knocking on the door as he feels Augusta National is suited to his precision game. "It is good to secure an invitation early," said Im, who was the first-round leader following a 67. 
 
"I will keep the same strategy... play for the cut, and then try to compete for a win. The Masters was my dream since I was a kid and watched this on TV. I always hoped to play at Augusta National and compete with the greatest golfers, and competing for the trophy. This is huge." 
 
Im leaves Augusta National with every belief he has garnered greater knowledge and understanding of the nuances at the challenging layout. 
 
"Accuracy is more important than power here. Finding the right side of the green is key. It is very important to place the ball where you can make par. If not, you can easily three putt," he said. 
 
"I was top of the leaderboard and was able to compete for a win. It was also the first time I played in front of patrons and I enjoyed the atmosphere and roars. It makes the tournament enjoyable and I will never forget this experience." 
 
Matsuyama, who made history as Asia`s first Masters winner 12 months ago, traded five birdies against as many bogeys as he held his head high to finish inside the top-15. He later presented the Green Jacket to Scheffler, who defeated Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland by three strokes with his 10-under 278 aggregate. 
 
"I`m happy I was able to play all four days," said Japan`s first male major champion. "I struggled to play the type of golf that I was envisioning. I wish I was able to contend a little more." 
 
Leaderboard 
 
1. Scottie Scheffler 69-67-71-71-278 (-10);

Masters 2022: In-form American and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler emerges champion at Augusta

Yuzvendra Chahal wasn't retained or brought back by his seven-year-old franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) ahead of IPL 2022. Thus, he was attained by one-time winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) and the wily wrist spinner is delivering the goods for the inaugural champions in the 15th season of the cash-rich league.

In match 20 of IPL 2022, on Sunday evening (April 10), the RR franchise faced the in-form KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. After two successive wins and then a loss, RR had to return to winning ways and they did courtesy Chahal's match-winning 4-0-41-4. He accounted for the scalps of Quinton de Kock, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya and Dushmantha Chameera to guide his side to a narrow three-run win, in defence of 166 (being asked to bat first).&nbsp;

Courtesy his spell, Chahal scripted a new record as he became the second-fastest to the 150-wicket club in IPL (in his 118th match). He is the fourth Indian -- all spinners -- to enter the elite club.

In addition, Chahal also attained the Purple Cap and now has 11 wickets to his name in the current season. At the post-match presentation, he stated, "Backed myself. My main strength is my mind. Didn't want to divert from what I usually do. I was always ready to bowl at anytime from overs 1-20. Enjoyed de Kock's wicket the most. He could've changed the game. Had seen him step out, had an intuition he'd come again (Badoni). Bowled it wider. Don't think a lot about my bad games."

Apart from Chahal, Trent Boult's opening spell, Shimron Hetymer's attacking 59&nbsp;and debutant Kuldeep Sen's emphatic last-over propelled RR to their third win of the season. They are now at the top of the points table.

After Sanju Samson-led RR were asked to bat first and they rode on Shimron Hetmyer's 59 to post 165-6, Boult's opening spell tilted the game in RR's favour before they eventually won the close contest by three runs, at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

As Rahul &amp; Co. came out to bat in their 166-run chase, the Lucknow skipper was left gobsmacked with an absolute peach of an inswinger from the New Zealand speedster. Thus, he was dismissed off the first ball of the run-chase before Boult also claimed Krishnappa Gowtham's wicket. He ended with 4-0-30-2 whereas Yuzvendra Chahal returned with 4 for 41 to take RR to a 3-run win.

Here's the video of Rahul's dismissal by Boult:

While many thought it was Sri Lanka's former pacer and RR's current fast bowling coach Lasith Malinga's idea to ask Boult to bowl an inswinger from round the wicket, the Kiwi revealed the real mastermind and credited his compatriot James Neesham -- who was warming the RR bench -- for the memorable wicket.

At the post-match presentation, Boult revealed, "It was a late call at breakfast, and it was Jimmy Neesham's idea to go with that plan against KL Rahul. I don't want to give him too much credit (laughs). My role with the new ball is to take as many wickets as possible. It's a pretty simple game for me at the top and get it to swing. The humidity and the overheads assisted it."

Meanwhile, Rahul opined on the unplayable delivery and said, "I didn't see it (the ball that got him from Boult), if I did I could have done something about it. Have to give it to him. Was a good ball."

There is no shortage of&nbsp;cricketing action amid the IPL 2022 edition. In match 18, the five-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI) locked horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the&nbsp;Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on Saturday evening (April 09).

While the contest proved to be a dull affair, the match made heads turn when a fan ended up breaching the security and stormed into the middle to meet Virat Kohli and MI skipper Rohit Sharma. At that time, Kohli-starrer were involved in their modest 152-run chase after having asked MI to bat first.

The fan first ran towards Kohli and reached a fist pump as the latter was wearing his batting gloves. On the other hand, he then went towards Rohit, who was stationed at short covers. The Mumbai captain didn't come in contact with the fan, due to Covid-19 guidelines and bio-bubble restrictions, but gave him a virtual hug. Here's the video:&nbsp;

Yuzvendra Chahal was the star performer for Rajasthan Royals (RR) as the Sanju Samson-led franchise beat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by three runs to end the debutant team's three-match winning streak, on Sunday evening (April 10) at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.&nbsp;

As RR were asked to bat first, they were struggling at 67-4 before Shimron Hetmyer's 59 propelled the team score to 165-6. While Trent Boult's opening spell put RR ahead in their defence of 166, Yuzi Chahal rose to the occasion to strike at regular intervals and leave LSG behind in the contest. While Chahal had a memorable day with his performances making a mark, his anger at the umpire also made heads turn.

The incident took place when the 31-year-old wrist-spinner came onto bowl the 18th over. The RR spinner resorted to a leg break which was pitched outside off-stump, with Sri Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chameera going for a slog sweep and missing it completely. While it seemed fairly evident that the ball was within the marker when it passed the stumps, it was adjudged a wide by the on-field umpire. Thus, this left Chahal lose his cool and argue with the umpire:

Despite what seemed like an umpiring error, Chahal-starrer RR didn't pay a heavy price as the bowler removed Chameera on the very next delivery. Chahal accounted for the scalps of Quinton de Kock, Chameera, Ayush Badoni and Krunal Pandya.&nbsp;

At the post-match presentation, Player-of-the-Match Chahal said, "Backed myself. My main strength is my mind. Didn't want to divert from what I usually do. I was always ready to bowl at anytime from overs 1-20. Enjoyed de Kock's wicket the most. He could've changed the game. Had seen him step out, had an intuition he'd come again (Badoni).

IPL 2022: Yuzvendra Chahal loses his temper at the umpire during RR vs LSG encounter – Watch

Barcelona striker Luuk de Jong scored a header in added time to give his side a 3-2 win at struggling Levante after a remarkable, end-to-end game in which his side gave away three penalties. Barca are the first team in LaLiga to win a match after conceding three penalties and De Jong`s last-gasp goal saw them record a seventh consecutive league win, lifting them into second in the standings on 60 points after 30 games.

But they are still a long way behind leaders Real Madrid, who have 72 points from 31 after beating Getafe 2-0 at home on Saturday. Levante are 19th on 22 points. Levante took a surprise but deserved lead against a lacklustre Barca in the 52nd minute when captain Jose Luis Morales scored from the spot after a foul by Dani Alves.

Moments later the hosts earned a second penalty, for a handball by Eric Garcia, who had prevented Levante from taking the lead in the first half when he scrambled a shot from Morales off the line. This time striker Roger Marti stepped up to take it and his effort was saved by Barca goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The visitors quickly made Levante pay, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang heading home a cross from Ousmane Dembele in the 59th minute.

Teenage midfielder Pedri then gave Barca the lead in the 63rd, thumping a first-time shot into the bottom corner after being teed up by 17-year-old Gavi, who had also been hauled on from the bench in the second half. Levante then won a third penalty of the second half when Dani Gomez latched on to a through ball and was tripped by Barca defender Clement Lenglet. Gonzalo Melero assumed taking duties and made no mistake against Ter Stegen to level in the 83rd.

But there was time for one final twist in an enthralling encounter when substitute De Jong connected with a Jordi Alba cross and headed into the bottom corner in the second minute of added time. "The fact we won while conceding three penalties shows we are very competitive and have a winning mentality," said Barca coach Xavi.

"I was concerned about this game because Levante are a difficult side with great players and they have beaten sides like Villarreal and Atletico Madrid. We`ve earned three golden points that keep us in the fight." 
But when pressed on whether Barca had a chance of catching runaway leaders Real, the coach added: "It`s very difficult because Real Madrid seldom slip up. But if they drop a few points in the next two weeks we can start to believe a little more."

La Liga: Barcelona register emphatic victory despite conceding three penalties versus Levante

The action will continue in IPL 2022 as the high-flying Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on the Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match 21 on Monday evening (April 11) at the&nbsp;Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai. It will be the only clash of the day after the doubleheaders in the weekend.&nbsp;

Talking about the GT franchise, the Hardik Pandya-led franchise have been on a roll. They remain the only unbeaten side in the competition after three successive victories. In their previous encounter, Gujarat were challenged for quite some time -- by Punjab Kings (PBKS)&nbsp; -- before they emerged on top with a last-ball six off Rahul Tewatia. Opting to bowl first, Gujarat had restricted PBKS 162-9, after Liam Livingstone's breathtaking 27-ball 64, before they were asked to chase 190.&nbsp;

In reply, Shubman Gill's 96, Sai Sudarshan's 35 and Rahul Tewatia's last two-ball sixes propelled Gujarat to an emphatic win. On the other hand, SRH come into this clash after finally opening their account with a convincing 8-wicket win versus defending champions and winless Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Courtesy a combined bowling effort, SRH restriced CSK to 154-7 and chased down the score with Abhishek Sharma's fireworks (50-ball 75) along with Rahul Tripathy's 15-ball 39*.

SRH vs GT, IPL 2022 prediction today: Who will win Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans match?

Merseyside Police is investigating an incident where Cristiano Ronaldo apparently slapped a mobile phone out of a fan`s hand as the Portuguese left the field after Manchester United`s loss at Everton. Footage taken by @EvertonHub, shows Ronaldo knocking the device to the floor after Everton`s 1-0 victory over the Red Devils at Goodison Park.

Merseyside Police have now launched an investigation, a spokesperson confirmed. "We can confirm that we are liaising with Manchester United Football Club and Everton FC following reports of an alleged assault at the Everton v Manchester United football match at Goodison," a statement read as per Sky Sports."As players were leaving the pitch at 2.30pm, it was reported that a boy was assaulted by one of the away team as they left the pitch. Inquiries are under way and officers are currently working with Everton Football Club to review CCTV footage and are carrying out extensive witness enquiries to establish if an offence has taken place."

"Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Merseyside Police social media desk via Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook Merseyside Police Contact centre quoting reference number 228 of 9 April 2022," the statement added.After the incident, Ronaldo acknowledged what had happened and issued an apology to the affected supporter."It`s never easy to deal with emotions in difficult moments such as the one we are facing," he wrote in an Instagram post."Nevertheless, we always have to be respectful, patient and set the example for all the youngsters who love the beautiful game. I would like to apologize for my outburst and, if possible, I would like to invite this supporter to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship," Ronaldo added. Coming to the match, Anthony Gordon`s first-half strike was enough for Everton to beat Manchester United 1-0 at Goodison Park and boost their hopes of Premier League safety.Marcus Rashford twice went close for Man Utd but he was denied brilliantly on both occasions by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Everton took a fortuitous lead just before the half-hour through Gordon, whose shot deflected off Harry Maguire and went in.Man Utd rallied in the second half but Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo were kept out by Pickford as Everton held on for a vital three points. The first win in three matches keeps Everton 17th, now with 28 points, four clear of the bottom three.Man Utd are seventh on 51 points, six behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.&nbsp;
