It’s starting to happen again. That PV Sindhu-shaped juggernaut is starting to gather pace, smashing and slashing past opponents.   Just in time for a title run at a marquee tournament too. Friday brought the first big test of Sindhu’s campaign in Tokyo. Her group stage opponents are both ranked outside the top 30 and had never beaten Sindhu in BWF events. Israel's World No 58 Ksenia Polikarpova was dispatched in 28 minutes. Hong Kong's Ngan Yi Cheung, the World No 34, lasted 35 minutes. Mia Blichfeldt, the World No 12, met her in the last-16 round. She too was shown the exit door without the complication of a three-game encounter. Akane Yamaguchi, though, was expected to be a different test of character for Sindhu. The Japanese shuttler, ranked No 5 in the world, has made a name for herself on the circuit by being a relentless retriever, so zealously dedicated to the cause that she doesn’t think twice before flinging herself across the court to return a shot. But, in the e

PV Sindhu is on course for a second consecutive Olympic medal after fighting her way into the semi-finals of the women’s singles event by defeating local hope Akane Yamaguchi in straight games. Sindhu, who settled for silver after losing to Carolina Marin in the gold medal match in Rio five years ago and has since won the World Championships among her many accomplishments, next faces Chinese Taipei’s Tai Tzu-ying, against whom she has a 5-13 head-to-head record. Tzu-ying qualified for the last four on the back of a come-from-behind win against Thailand’s Ratchanok Intanon on the same day as Sindhu’s win over Yamaguchi.  The Hyderabadi shuttler, on the other hand, registered a 21-13, 22-20 scoreline to advance. Sindhu faces Tzu-ying in Court 1 at the Musashino Forest Plaza in the Japanese capital on Saturday, 31 July, the match starting at 3.20 pm Indian Standard Time. A week later, Yamaguchi again beat Sindhu, this time in the quarters, at the Japan Open. Here's her road to th

Star Indian shuttler PV Sindhu has been one of the brightest medal prospects among the 120 sportspersons from the country taking part in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics. Despite India drawing blank in several quarters, especially in disciplines like shooting where the nation of a billion-plus expected a rain of medals, things have been looking promising so far in badminton where the shuttler from Hyderabad has kept her campaign alive with a series of hard-fought wins to stay on course for a second consecutive Olympic medal, having lost to Carolina Marin in the gold medal match in Rio five years ago. Sindhu took a step further towards realising her dream of winning India's first-ever Olympic gold medal in the sport when she defeated local favourite and one of the world's top shuttlers Akane Yamaguchi, beating her in straight games 21-13, 22-20 to set up a semi-final clash against Chinese Taipei's Tai Tzu-ying on Saturday. Here are all the details you need to know as far as the

In India, every year more people die of road traffic injuries or road accidents than of malaria, tuberculosis or HIV. In 2019 alone, over 1.51 lakh people died  due to injuries caused by road accidents. This was more than the total deaths caused by the three diseases combined. In 2019, malaria killed 7,700 people, the human immunodeficiency virus killed 58,960 while tuberculosis claimed 79,144 lives. The situation, however, seems to be improving. Between 2018 and 2020 India witnessed a drop in road traffic injuries. While 1,40,843 road accidents were reported in national highways and expressways in 2018, they fell to 1,37,191 in 2019. The number of road accidents reduced further to 1,16,496 in 2020 (provisional data). The reduction in road traffic injuries was witnessed across all the seven major regions - south, north, east, west, north-west, north-east and central India. NHs and expressways in south report maximum road traffic injuries However, government data show that road acci

“We’ve got 11 players to choose from and all eleven are playing,” said India coach Rahul Dravid on the eve of the second Test against Sri Lanka. As many as four debut caps were handed during the second T20I, which India lost by four wickets . There has been no dearth of opportunities for youngsters on this tour. Much has been talked about India’s bench strength and that has been put to test in the ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka. And some players have really grabbed this opportunity with both hands, standing out with some noteworthy performances. These can prove to be really rewarding, given we have a T20I World Cup later this year. Here, we take a look at a few players who have impressed on the Sri Lanka tour: Prithvi Shaw With the Australia tour, where he was dropped after playing a single Test, behind him, Prithvi Shaw appeared a man on a mission as he worked on his technique alongside former India batsman and his coach Pravin Amre. And he returned with a bang, becoming th

On 16 July, seven days before the Olympics began in Tokyo, Julius Ssekitoleko, 20, a weightlifter from Uganda went missing from his hotel in Osaka, Japan. With Tokyo under a state of emergency due to the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, his disappearance made world news. He was found four days later, far away from Osaka, in Mie. And was then sent back to his homeland as Japan police did not find him involved in any crime. On his return on 23 July, the Ugandan government through a statement said that they are committed to Ssekitoleko's continuous rehabilitation to help him in his career, "but also help him understand how such acts of misconduct can not only affect him as an athlete but also other athletes in the sports sector and the nation at large". It seemed after Ssekitoleko returned to his homeland, it will be the end of this lost and found story but it was not to be. What transpired after his landing in his homeland tells more about the weightlifter and draws

23:27 (IST) That brings us to the end of India's tour of Sri Lanka, the Men in Blue starting off with a dominant victory in the first ODI, only for Sri Lanka to fight back from that defeat and compete hard in every game thereafter. Both teams end with a series victory apiece, with Sri Lanka winning their first bilateral series since the Dasun Shanaka-led side completed a 3-0 sweep over Pakistan in an away campaign in 2019. The 2-1 victory is also their first series win over India in 13 years, the side last having beaten the Indians 3-2 in a one-day series at home in 2008. Here's hoping the youngsters in the two sides will have learnt their lessons moving forward in a World Cup year, and the selectors of the two sides will have had a better idea of what their squads look like for the T20 extravaganza that takes place in the UAE in October-November this year. For now, it's time for us to bid you all good night! 23:27 (IST) Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka : First of all
