<h2>Harleen&nbsp;<strong>Deol out of WPL</strong></h2>

<p>Deol injured her knee during Giants' third group-stage match, against UP Warriorz in Bengaluru. Stationed at sweeper cover, Deol raced to her right to intercept a ball in the first over of Warriorz's innings and immediately clutched her left knee. She limped off the field and has not been seen in action since.</p>

<p>Her returns with the bat haven't been great and scored 8, 22 and 18 in three matches before going off injured. She adds to the already injured plagued squad of Gujarat Giants who have only one win in five WPL matches so far. Gujarat are already without Kashvee Gautam and Australia's Lauren Cheatle due to several medical reasons. Sneh Rana has also missed out on the last two outings for unknown reasons, adding more woes to the depleted Gujarat Giants squad.</p>

Stationed at sweeper cover, Deol raced to her right to intercept a ball in the first over of Warriorz's innings and immediately clutched her left knee. She limped off the field and has not been seen in action since. Her returns with the bat haven't been great and scored 8, 22 and 18 in three matches before going off injured. She adds to the already injured plagued squad of Gujarat Giants who have only one win in five WPL matches so far. Gujarat are already without Kashvee Gautam and Australia's Lauren Cheatle due to several medical reasons. Sneh Rana has also missed out on the last two outings for unknown reasons, adding more woes to the depleted Gujarat Giants squad.

A defeat in that match could see their challenge to make the playoffs suffer heavy dents as RCB currently occupy the third and final spot with six points.

<h2><strong>Rishabh Pant's Recovery Process</strong></h2>

<p>Following the harrowing accident, Rishabh Pant had to undergo surgery in January. He had surgery on his medial collateral ligament (MCL). Pant made his first public appearance at the Arun Jaitley Stadium during Delhi Capitals’ IPL 2023 match against Gujarat Titans in April.</p>

<p>Rishabh Pant’s absence was very much felt in the World Test Championship (WTC) final in which Rohit Sharma’s men had to face a 209-run defeat at the hands of Australia.</p>

<h2><strong>Rishabh Pant's Comeback</strong></h2>

<p>There is still no official word on Rishabh Pant’s comeback. According to multiple media reports, the India wicketkeeper could very well miss the Asia Cup and 50-over World Cup scheduled to be played later this year.</p>

'Not bad yaar:' Rishabh Pant provides major update on his fitness

<p>The year 2022 is about to end. It has been a year full of many sporting events, fulfilling the demands of sports fans across the globe. In India, many upcoming sports personalities made a big name for themselves in 2022. With only a few days left for the year to bid goodbye, Google has released the top 10 most searched people in 2022 in India. The overall list has only one sportsperson's mention. While many would've expected&nbsp;Virat Kohli, Neeraj Chopra, MS Dhoni, etc. to make the cut, it is former Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Pravin Tambe who has topped the list among sports personalities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The reason for Tambe topping the elite list can be due to a biopic on his life, which was released on Disney+Hotstar in April 2022. Actor Shreyas Talpade played the titular role in the movie, which was appreciated by many for its inspirational story and acting. Tambe has had a memorable run as a cricketer. Having not played a single first-class game at any level, he was picked by the 2008 IPL champions RR at the age of 41 in 2013. He, thus, became the oldest debutant in the cash-rich league and made heads turn with a sensational hat-trick in IPL 2014, versus the Kolkata Knight Riders. Following this, he represented Mumbai in first-class cricket and also went on to feature in several leagues across the globe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At present, Tambe is serving as KKR's bowling coach after he was banned by the BCCI from playing any form of Indian cricket post his participation in the T10 league in Covid-hit 2020. It is to be noted that along with Google, Tambe is also the most searched Indian sportsperson on Twitter in 2022. In addition,&nbsp;he occupies the ninth spot in the overall list across the nation.</p>

<p>Surpassing the likes of Dhoni, Chopra, Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Harmanpreet Kaur, PV Sindhu, Sania Mirza, etc. is a huge feat for Tambe in his glittering career.</p>

<p>Regardless of such brilliance in the field, India couldn't get success in the rain-hit match over England. After England scored 177/7 out of 20 overs, India could just reach 54/3 in 8.4 overs before the game had stopped. No play could be conceivable after that as the DLS method needed to come into the spot to determine the destiny of the game.</p>
