ENG-W vs IND-W: Smriti Mandhana becomes 2nd Indian to score hundred in women's T20Is
Despite the brilliance from Mandhana, India could only get 47 from the powerplay overs, with the stand-in skipper scoring 31 of them. However, things changed in the seventh over as Mandhana hit Sophie Eccelstone for two sixes and got 19 runs from the over. The momentum was carried on by the southpaw as she got to her fifty in 27 balls and with a boundary. After Shafali's wicket, Mandhana found the perfect partner in Harleen Deol, who started off with the right intent and blasted Linsey Smith for three boundaries in an over. The duo brought up their fifty partnership in quick time as Mandhana raced to the nineties with some elegant strokeplay. Maiden T20I Hundred for Smriti Mandhana!

Taking to X, Erigaisi expressed his displeasure. 'Worst experience flying with the British Airways. Involuntarily downgrade, rude employees, no communication, bags delayed for over 48 hours,' Erigaisi said in his post. 'This is frustrating. Messages, emails, forms everything done & submitted. It's been over 2 days and still no word. I don't know how an airline can afford to treat its customer in this way. Even worse part is I've to fly back with you,' added Erigaisi, ranked third in the world. However, British Airways is yet to respond on the issue. It is also unknown Erigaisi's travel and source destination. Erigaisi's post went viral in no time with several users complaining the same. Erigaisi was also suggested to take a Qatar Airways or an Emirates flight. "British Airways is one of the worst airlines in the world. If you ever travel to Europe, you should take Qatar Airways or Emirates. If you travel to Asia, you should pick Singapore Airlines or Cathay Pacific. If you go to US, you should take Qarar Airways, Singapore Airlines or United. If you go to Canada, you should take Singapore Airlines or Air Canada," am X user wrote. Erigaisi will compete in one of most important tournaments in September - FIDE Grand Swiss 2025 in Uzbekistan from September 3 to 16.

From Jahhvi Kapoor to Urvashi Rautela, all the Indian celebrities spotted at Wimbledon 2025
The 2025 edition of Wimbledon saw a notable turnout of Indian celebrities at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, as several public figures from film, fashion, and sport were spotted attending the tournament. Among the first to draw attention were Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas, who were seen in the Royal Box on Centre Court. The couple, regulars at major global events, were captured watching the semi-finals, drawing notice from media and fans alike. Chopra opted for a muted, tailored look in keeping with the tournament's dress code. Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli were also present at the venue, making a rare public appearance together. The couple kept a low profile, watching the matches quietly from the stands. Their visit came as a surprise to many fans, particularly as Sharma has largely stayed away from the spotlight in recent months. Actor Janhvi Kapoor was spotted alongside her rumoured partner Shikhar Pahariya. Kapoor wore a blue-and-white gingham dress from Miu Miu, a label she has frequently sported since her Cannes appearance earlier this year. Veteran actor Neena Gupta also made headlines for choosing to wear a saree to Wimbledon, breaking with the event's typically western dress code. She shared images from her visit on social media, including one with her daughter Masaba Gupta outside the Centre Court North East Hall. Sachin Tendulkar and Anjali Tendulkar were seen applauding key moments from the Royal Box. Tendulkar, who has often spoken about his interest in tennis, appeared relaxed and engaged during the match. Sonam Kapoor arrived in a white pantsuit, leaning into a business-formal look for the occasion. Preity Zinta, attending with husband Gene Goodenough, opted for a retro polka-dot dress. Also in attendance were Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar, who made a coordinated appearance in neutral-toned outfits. Meanwhile, Urvashi Rautela drew attention with a white lace gown and a set of four Labubu dolls she carried during the match that generated significant buzz online.
