Anahat Singh secured her place in history by becoming the youngest Senior National Squash Champion in over 23 years. The remarkable triumph came as her opponent, Tanvi Khanna, retired midway through the final match due to injury, paving the way for Anahat to claim the prestigious title.

The 14-year-old sensation from India led 6-4 in the second game after losing the opener 9-11 against Khanna, 12 years her senior, when the latter fell down holding her right knee at the Indian Squash Academy. Shortly afterwards, Khanna conceded the match.
Anahat Singh had lost the final last year to top seed Joshana Chinappa. This year, however, Anahat seized the opportunity and emerged triumphant. She came into the limelight as the youngest member of the Indian contingent at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham last year. She defeated Jada Ross of St Vincent and the Grenadines in her opening-round match before losing 1-3 to Wales' Emily Whitlock, the then World No. 19.
Anahat Singh's accomplishment adds a new chapter to the history of Indian squash, underscoring the emergence of young talent in the sport.
Anahat Singh and Tanvi Khanna both were part of this year's Asian Games squad where they, along with Chinappa and Dipika Pallikal Karthik, won the team bronze. Anahat also clinched bronze in the mixed doubles event with Abhay Singh.
Meanwhile, Joshna Chinappa holds the record for being the youngest champion. She had lifted the first of her record 19 national titles at the age of 14 in 2000.
David Warner is the player with the most fifties (and over) in IPL history. Virat Kohli, with 65 fifty-plus scores, is just one fifty away from equalling Warner's record.

Indian Premier League has been one of the toughest yet entertaining cricket leagues in the world since its inception in 2008. Since then, many Indian and overseas batters have gone on to score plenty of runs for their teams. In this article, we will discuss all those batters who have scored the most fifties (and over) in IPL history.
David Warner tops the list with 66 fifties
Currently, former Australian batter David Warner holds the record for the most fifties (and over) scored in IPL history with 66 fifties. Indian legend Virat Kohli follows him on the list with 65 fifties. With his consistency, Virat Kohli can go past Warner any time and become the batter with the most fifties (and over) in IPL history.
Shikhar Dhawan, who is considered one of the best openers in IPL history, has 53 IPL fifties to his name. However, he will not be able to increase that number as he has already hung up his boots.
Among the active player, KL Rahul has the third ost most fifties (and over) and over in IPL history.
Rohit Sharma, with 45 IPL fifties, and KL Rahul with 43 fifties can surely get close to David Warner's number. Rahul has been in tremendous form and has already scored two fifties in IPL 2025. However, Rohit Sharma has struggled to get going this season.
AB de Villiers and Suresh Raina, two of the greatest middle order batters ever to play in Indian Premier League history, also come upon the list with 43 and 40 IPL fifties to their names.
Faf du Plessis (38) is another name among the active cricketers who ranks among the top 10 players with most IPL fifties so far.
The Blues took the lead in the 49th minute of the game through an own goal from the Mariners. However, the 2024-25 ISL League Shield Winners turned the tables around in the 72nd minute when they pulled off the equalizer from the spotkick.
In the added extra time, Mohun Bagan SG netted the winner in the 96th minute to ensure their historic league double: winning the shield and the cup in the same season!
Atletico de Kolkata were the IPL 2014 Champions | Image: X
In the inaugural season, ATK, formerly known as Atlético de Kolkata, were crowned the winner as they defeated Kerala Blasters 1-0 in the final. Mohammed Rafique scored an injury-time goal to win the game for his side under head coach Antonio Lopez Habas. The 2014 season featured eight teams, each playing 14 matches during the regular season.
Who have won the most ISL titles?
ATK have been the most dominant team, having secured the title three times. They were dissolved and merged with Mohun Bagan SG (ATK Mohun Bagan previously), who have won the title twice, in the 2024-25 and in the 2022-23 season.
Chennaiyin FC and Mumbai City FC are the teams who have lifted the titles twice. Hyderabad FC and Bengaluru FC have also won one title each.

IPL 2025, CSK vs KKR: CSK's five lowest totals in IPL history
After their shocking collapse to 103/9 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Friday in IPL 2025 at Chepauk, we revisit CSK’s five lowest totals in IPL history.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK), two of the most successful franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL), are known for their resilience and batting prowess. However, even the mighty yellow army has had its share of forgettable outings.
After their shocking collapse to 103/9 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Friday in IPL 2025 at Chepauk, we revisit CSK’s five lowest totals in IPL history.
1. 79 all out vs Mumbai Indians, Mumbai, 2013
CSK’s lowest IPL total remains the 79 all out against Mumbai Indians in 2013. Batting second at Wankhede, CSK were chasing only 140, but they were dismantled by a relentless Mumbai bowling attack, with Mitchell Johnson and Lasith Malinga leading the charge.
The innings folded in just 15.2 overs, and Mumbai chased the target comfortably, handing CSK a heavy defeat that still stands as their worst batting performance.
2. 97 all out vs Mumbai Indians, Mumbai, 2022
