Australia dominate India in women’s Test, Day 2
On Saturday, Annabel Sutherland stole the show and thanks to her all-round brilliance, Australia’s women cruised past India on the second day of the Pink Ball Test in Perth. Chasing India’s first-innings 198, Australia piled up 323. Sutherland smashed 129 of those, marking her fourth century in just seven innings. That put Australia 129 runs ahead, and then they ripped through India’s top order again, leaving them struggling at 105 for six by the end of the day.
Sutherland wasn’t done. With the ball, she grabbed two wickets for just 15 runs. Ellyse Perry chipped in too; she scored 76 and, together with Sutherland, put on 128 for the fourth wicket. India, in reply, lost their sixth wicket with only 82 on the board. By stumps, Pratika Rawal (43) and Sneh Rana (14) were hanging on and trying to give India a glimmer of hope.
Chennai Super Kings launch new jerseys for IPL 2026 season
Chennai Super Kings just showed off their new jerseys for IPL 2026 on Saturday. At the CSK jersey launch, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad stood next to Ayush Mhatre, with Managing Director and CEO Shenu Agarwal joining them on stage. This season, Ashok Leyland’s logo now sits proudly on the Chennai jersey. It’s still that classic yellow, but now there’s a bold stripe running from shoulder to waist. It is layered with an army-style pattern fitting. Since Dhoni’s connection to the Territorial Army is well known, he’s always loved that military touch.
CSK isn’t wasting any time. Their pre-season camp is already up and running. Assistant coach Rajiv Kumar and assistant bowling coach R Sriram are leading the sessions. Out on the field, one can spot the familiar faces like Dhoni and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Alongside them, Prashant Veer, Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, and Mukesh Choudhary are putting in the training hours too. The team looks fired up and ready to go.
