England centre-back John Stones has called time on his decorated Manchester City career on Tuesday (Apr 28), announcing his exit at the end of the season. Since joining Pep Guardiola's City as a 21-year-old (from Everton in 2016), Stones has lived his football dream at the club, winning six Premier League titles and a Champions League crown, alongside several more silverware. He represented City in 293 matches across all competitions, scoring 119 goals. He, however, is on the brink of completing a treble this season, with Man City battling Arsenal for the PL title and facing Chelsea in next month’s FA Cup Final.&nbsp;"It has been my home for the past 10 years, and it will be my home for the rest of my life," Stones said in an emotional social media post. "It's been a rollercoaster in many ways.&nbsp;"I came as a kid, and I'm now leaving as a man -- becoming a father, a husband and, on the pitch, a very fulfilled player, I suppose, in living all my dreams out and lifting all the things that I came here to achieve.&nbsp;"At the start of my career here, I never would have thought I would be in this position. Firstly, to achieve everything but to have the love, the bond with everyone. Every dream has been smashed out of the park."

Cricket veteran and renowned broadcaster Sunil Gavaskar has addressed a recurring issue in IPL 2026: Duration. While several games have usually exceeded the three-hour mark, a few have even lasted longer than four hours, testing fans’ patience. And even though the BCCI punishes team captains for the slow over rates, delays remain a lingering issue.&nbsp;Gavaskar pointed out how too many people entering the field during play, and allowing reserve players and support staff to frequently walk onto the ground, even for handing over drinks, is causing significant delays.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-will-keep-happening-dc-skipper-axar-patel-reacts-after-horror-loss-vs-rcb-1777361739990">IPL 2026 | 'Will keep happening': DC skipper Axar Patel reacts after horror loss vs RCB</a>&nbsp;"Often, one sees the unnecessary sight of reserve players stepping onto the ground to give a bottle of water to a fielder near the boundary. That should not be allowed, as it effectively means more than 11 players on the field while play is on, even if it is between deliveries," Gavaskar wrote in his Mid-day column.&nbsp;"During strategic time-outs too, one often sees half a dozen people on the field, including batters who are yet to come in.&nbsp;"That is taking liberties too far.

Sunil Gavaskar slams ‘unnecessary’ IPL delays, calling for run penalties and stricter limits on staff entering the "sacred" playing field. Read his fix for 4-hour matches.

Cricket veteran and renowned broadcaster Sunil Gavaskar has addressed a recurring issue in IPL 2026: Duration. While several games have usually exceeded the three-hour mark, a few have even lasted longer than four hours, testing fans’ patience. And even though the BCCI punishes team captains for the slow over rates, delays remain a lingering issue. Gavaskar pointed out how too many people entering the field during play, and allowing reserve players and support staff to frequently walk onto the ground, even for handing over drinks, is causing significant delays.

That should not be allowed, as it effectively means more than 11 players on the field while play is on, even if it is between deliveries," Gavaskar wrote in his Mid-day column. "During strategic time-outs too, one often sees half a dozen people on the field, including batters who are yet to come in. "That is taking liberties too far. Apart from two reserve players carrying drinks and two members of the coaching staff, nobody else should be allowed on the ground,” he continued.

Delhi Capitals (DC) played their last two IPL 2026 matches at home ground - Arun Jaitely Stadium - lost both, unfortunately, but in drastically different ways.

The Open, scheduled to run from July 16-19 at Royal Birkdale course in England, will be implementing a new policy to control the behaviour and misconduct by players. The tournament, one of golf's four mjaors along with the Master, US Open, and the US PGA, will hand a two-shot penalty to the players if they breach the policy. The news was shared by Mark Darbon, CEO of the Open's parent organization R&amp;A on Monday (Apr 27). The new policies will be implemented across all four majors starting with the Open as Masters, year's first golf major, being already done.<h2>Why Open is implementing two-shot penalty for players?</h2>The new policies of two-shot penalty over misconduct has been implemented to enforce proper behaviour of the players. In the Masters earlier this month, Spain's Sergio Garcia was in the spotlight for damaging a tee box in a frustation for which he was reprimanded. Scotland's Bob MacIntyre also drew a warning from the officials for using abusive language heard over microphones.Speaking to BBC, Darbon shared the reason behind implementing the policy and said: "You want passion from players, you want passion from spectators, but there's a fine line, and one of the amazing things about this sport are the values and integrity that underpin it.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/-fucking-awesome-says-ufc-chief-and-trump-ally-dana-white-on-white-house-correspondents-dinner-shooting-1777265577519">'It was f*****g awesome': UFC chief &amp; Trump ally White on WHCA dinner shooting</a>"So we will watch that line very closely. We, like many of the other major events, are looking to implement a new code of conduct policy that will be in place this summer here at Royal Birkdale. And it will give us another measure by which to help influence and control that behaviour."<h2>How will the two-shot penalty impact players?</h2>The details about the two-shot penalty policy aren't out yet. Darbon has said that the technical aspects will be 'shared closer to the Championship.' The penalty, however, could very well be the difference between the players qualifying for the final rounds on the weekend as well as their ranking on the leaderboard once the tournament is over which, in turn, could affect their prize money and international ranking as well in addition to the title hopes.

For Ashu Malik, the road to the 2026 Asian Games isn’t just about mat sessions; it’s about redefining preparation altogether. At the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS), Malik has found a system that pushes him beyond the rhythms of the Pro Kabaddi League. “The difference starts with discipline,” he explained in an exclusive interview with WION. Unlike the unpredictable diets during league travel, IIS offers tailored nutrition, controlled environments, and structured recovery systems. From sauna baths to ice recovery and pool sessions, the emphasis is clear: performance is built off the mat as much as on it.&nbsp;But Malik isn’t just relying on facilities; he’s dissecting his own game. Speed and conditioning have become central to his focus, especially given the physical toll kabaddi demands. “Sometimes it’s small technical gaps, like not reaching a defender or missing a bonus because of a leg lift,” he says. “These are the margins I want to improve.” Training alongside 40-plus elite players has added another dimension. Kabaddi’s inherently team-driven nature means feedback is instant and constant. Teammates analyse raids in real time, offering tactical insights that a raider might miss in the moment. That collective intelligence, Malik believes, is invaluable.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/cricket/ipl-2026-kohli-creates-run-scoring-history-9000-runs-amid-rcb-s-bowling-masterclass-vs-dc-1777344524614">IPL 2026 | Kohli creates run-scoring history amid RCB's bowling masterclass vs DC</a>&nbsp;Then there’s the presence of seasoned stars like Pawan Sehrawat and Naveen Kumar. For Malik, the dynamic is less hierarchical and more collaborative. “We learn from each other. Sometimes I ask them questions, sometimes they ask me. That exchange helps everyone grow.” One of the biggest takeaways from the camp has been a renewed respect for recovery. Malik emphasises that training without proper rest is counterproductive. Strength and conditioning, often overlooked by already-fit players, has also become a non-negotiable part of his routine, crucial for longevity and injury prevention.&nbsp;Looking ahead, Malik is clear-eyed about India’s biggest threat. “Iran will be our toughest competition,” he says, pointing to the familiarity both teams share due to overlapping leagues and exposure. But that familiarity cuts both ways; India knows Iran just as well. Among the emerging talents, Malik singles out Deepak Shankar as one to watch, a young player already making a strong impression in camp and tipped for a bright future. In a sport where margins are razor-thin, Malik’s preparation shows a shift in Indian kabaddi’s approach, more scientific, more holistic, and more relentless than ever before.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won the IPL 2026 match against Delhi Capitals (RC) on Monday (Apr 28) in Delhi by 9 wickets. Bowling first, RCB bowled DC out for a mere 75 runs and achieved the under-par target in 6.3 overs. With the win, defending champion RCB are now second in the 10-team points table with 12 points from six wins and two losses in eight games. As for DC, things have gotten even murkier as they slipped down to the seventh spot with just six points from three wins and five losses in eight matches played. 75 is DC's third lowest score in the franchise history behind 66 and 67 in IPL 2017 against MI and Punjab Kings (then Kings XI Punjab), respectively.<h2>Bhuvneshwar-Hazlewood blow away Delhi</h2>DC's innigs could never get going after Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood hit Test match lengths and shared seven wickets between them for just 17 runs in 6.3 overs bowled combined.

<h3>Joshua’s first fight since late 2025</h3>First up for Joshua is 35-year-old Prenga, who has 20 wins -- all by knock-out -- in his 21 fights as a professional, although he has yet to face an opponent anywhere near the Briton's class. &nbsp;Joshua is an Olympic champion from London 2012 and a two-time heavyweight champion in the professional ranks. He has 29 wins, 26 by KO, and four defeats, two by KO, in his career. He won the IBF heavyweight title in 2016 with a second-round knockout of Charles Martin and went on to add the WBA, WBO and IBO belts before losing them in a shock seventh-round stoppage defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019. &nbsp;Joshua won back his belts in an immediate rematch six months later but lost them to former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in 2021. He has had two more heavyweight title fights since then, losing a rematch to Usyk in 2022 and losing to fellow Briton Daniel Dubois by fifth-round KO for the IBF title in 2024. &nbsp;Joshua then underwent elbow surgery and also had a shoulder injury. &nbsp;His only fight since then was the mismatch against Paul. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Fury made his comeback after a 16-month-long retirement two weeks ago with a unanimous points victory over Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov. A couple of days later, Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said that negotiations had begun to arrange a bout between the British heavyweights in November.&nbsp;(With inputs from AFP)&nbsp;

Anthony Joshua is back! The former heavyweight champion has announced his in-ring return for the first time since suffering injuries in a car crash in Lagos last December. Joshua will face Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on July 25, according to the latest announcement. Meanwhile, following his last fight against YouTuber star Jake Paul, Anthony lost two of his close friends in the same crash in Nigeria a week later. Anthony beat Jake Paul in a fifth-round knockout. Besides, the 36-year-old has been in talks to face Tyson Fury, his great Briton rival, later this year in a bout that many fans feel is at least five years late. "It's no secret I've taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready for stepping back into the ring, and this is the next step on that journey," Joshua said in announcing the July 25 bout in Riyadh.

Dhoni, who has been out of action since the start of the tournament, continues to remain on the sidelines. While CSK stated two weeks as his return timeline, Dhoni has been absent since, keeping everyone on their toes on his potential and perhaps final appearance for the remainder of the season.&nbsp;Per Fleming, Dhoni’s recovery (from the calf injury) has suffered another setback, further stretching his stay on the sidelines.

Lucknow Super Giants head coach Justin Langer did not hide his disappointment after the team suffered their fourth consecutive home defeat, going down to Kolkata Knight Riders in a nail-biting Super Over clash during IPL 2026 on Sunday (Apr 27). Speaking after the match, Langer pointed to the team’s inability to adapt the pitch as a main factor and explained that while the earlier red-soil surface had suited attacking cricket, the black-soil track used in this game behaved very differently.&nbsp;&nbsp;"It's frustrating. I thought the wicket on the red soil was very good, fast and bouncy, really exciting for cricket. And we didn't adapt today to the black soil, which was slower, lower and spun a little bit," Langer said.&nbsp;He also acknowledged how the continued struggles at home have been tough on everyone associated with the franchise, including fans, admitting that the side has not adapted to conditions as effectively as required.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I feel for the fans, I feel for our supporters, I feel for everyone who follows us, that we're not adapting to the conditions as well as we should be," he added.&nbsp;Despite the setback, Langer remained optimistic about LSG's playoff chances, stressing the importance of staying positive during a difficult phase. "We're making it hard for ourselves, but you have to be hopeful. We'll keep being positive. We've got seven days off now, so it's a chance to look at things, if we need to make any changes," he said.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-will-lucknow-super-giants-make-the-playoffs-check-qualification-scenarios-1777276003887">IPL 2026: Will Lucknow Super Giants make the playoffs? Check qualification scenarios</a>&nbsp;On the decision to send Nicholas Pooran out in the Super Over, Langer &nbsp;defended the call, citing the batter's strong record against KKR spinner Sunil Narine.&nbsp;&nbsp;"We knew Sunil Narine would bowl it. If you look at Nicky's (Nicholas Pooran) record, he has seen Narine more than anyone. We felt if anyone could win a Super Over, it's him. You back your best players," he said. However, Langer admitted that Pooran has been out of form, though he backed the West Indies batter to regain confidence soon. "He's working on it. Even great players go through this. You can't fake confidence. We are working with him every day. Sometimes this is a tough game," he added. KKR edged out LSG in a thrilling Super Over clash in IPL 2026 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday night. Chasing a tense finish, LSG needed seven off the final ball when Mohammed Shami launched a six over long-off to force the game into a Super Over. Earlier, Mohsin Khan's sensational five-wicket haul (5/23) rocked KKR's top order, but Rinku Singh's brilliant unbeaten 83 off 51 balls, featuring seven fours and five sixes, sparked a remarkable recovery. His late onslaught, including four consecutive sixes in the final over, lifted KKR to a competitive 155/7.

IPL 2026 | 'It's frustrating': Coach Justin Langer reacts to LSG’s fourth consecutive home loss

Lucknow Super Giants took on Kolkata Knight Riders in their eighth IPL 2026 clash on Sunday (Apr 26) but ended up on the losing side in a tense Super Over finish. Both teams posted identical totals of 155 in their 20 overs.
