NEW DELHI: India's leading men's doubles pair,
Satwiksairaj Rankireddy
and
Chirag Shetty
, faced a disappointing exit from the Indonesia Open Super 1000 tournament after their quarterfinal defeat to Malaysia's Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun on Friday.
The previously world No. 1 Indian combination, who were the champions in 2023, succumbed to a 19-21, 16-21 loss in a 43-minute encounter against the aggressive Malaysian duo, who secured their first victory over the Indians in their fifth meeting.

The exit of Satwik-Chirag marked the end of India's participation in the tournament.
The Indian pair appeared to be struggling with their service and returns, as they were outplayed by the Malaysian duo, who had claimed victories at both the Malaysia Masters last month and Indonesia Masters in January.
The Indians displayed poor defensive organisation and anticipation, frequently finding themselves in difficult positions as the Malaysians forced them into errors throughout the match.
Satwik committed net errors, allowing the Malaysians to take an early lead, which they maintained until the mid-game interval.
Despite equalising at 11-all through aggressive exchanges, the Indians failed to capitalise on their opportunities, allowing the Malaysians to establish a lead.

The second game saw the Indians start poorly, trailing 3-7, as the Malaysians effectively used flat shots and court conditions to extend their lead.
Although the Indians showed resilience and brought themselves closer at 16-18, Man's excellent net play and Tee's decisive shot at 20-16 secured four match points for the Malaysians, which they promptly converted to advance to the semifinals.

Eovaldi pitches 5 scoreless innings as Rangers beat Braves 8-3

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nathan Eovaldi pitched three-hit ball over five scoreless innings in his first start since the All-Star break and the Texas Rangers beat the Atlanta Braves 8-3 on Friday night. Eovaldi (8-3) threw 53 of his 86 pitches for strikes as Texas won its fourth straight and handed Atlanta a third straight loss. He struck out seven but walked a season-high four. It was also Eovaldi's first start since the Rangers paid him a $100,000 All-Star Game bonus even though the 35-year-old wasn't selected despite a 7-3 record and a 1.58 ERA. He missed his first start after the break — a matchup with AL All-Star starter Tarik Skubal and the Tigers — with back tightness. Sam Haggerty singled leading off the first against Joey Wentz (2-2) before stealing his 10th base and scoring on a sacrifice fly by Marcus Semien for a 1-0 lead. Jonah Heim hit his ninth home run — a two-out shot in the second for a 2-0 lead. Wyatt Langford had a two-out RBI double in the fourth and Sam Haggerty doubled in a run in the fifth for a 4-0 advantage. Three singles, two walks, a hit batter and a sac fly led to four runs in the eighth. Michael Harris II hit his eighth home run — a leadoff shot off Jacob Latz in the seventh to cut it to 4-1. Wentz allowed four runs in 4 1/3 innings. Corey Seager went 0 for 3 but walked twice to extend his on-base streak to 25 games for the Rangers. Austin Riley went 0 for 4 in his first game for Atlanta since suffering an abdominal strain on July 11. Texas had allowed two runs or fewer in a club-record-tying seven straight games until Caleb Boushley surrendered two in the ninth to end the run. Seager is the only player to have an on-base streak of 24-plus games in each of the last three seasons. Braves RHP Grant Holmes (4-9, 3.81) starts against Rangers rookie RHP Kumar Rocker (4-4, 5.66) on Saturday.

Can Joe Root break Sachin's Test record? Ollie Pope backs batter to chase down Tendulkar

England batter Ollie Pope has backed Joe Root to break Sachin Tendulkar's record of most Test runs. Root, who went up to the No. 2 spot in the list of most runs in the Test format on Friday, July 25, is only 2,662 runs away from the legendary Indian in the post-match press conference, Pope said that while Root was not someone for milestones, he would surely be hungry to reach the summit of this elite list. Root, on Friday, batted magnificently to take England to 544/7 at the end of Day 3. Root scored 150, the 38th century of his Test career, and passed Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, and Ricky Ponting to become the 2nd highest run-getter of all not a massive one for milestones,' Pope said with a laugh. 'But that's a cool one - second most Test runs. I'm sure he was aware.'Pope also backed the batter to go past Sachin Tendulkar.'The way he's batting, I'm sure he'll be driven to be No. 1. He's got the hunger.'| Manchester Test Day 3 Scorecard |The Manchester Test match against India was the 157th of Root's career. This is the least number of matches played by a batter to reach a total of 13,000+ runs. Root averages 57.40 at the moment, the second best amongst the top 5 run-getters in the Test format. His average is only bettered by Ricky Ponting (58.72), who is now 3rd in the list of highest run-getters in the history of the the start of Covid-19, Root has been in exceptional form in Test cricket. Out of his 38 hundreds, 21 have come since March 2020. In this period, the batter has scored 5,810 runs in 65 Tests, towering over the rest of the batters in the world. The second-best batter in this period is Steve Smith, who has 3,250 runs from 46 needs to be mentioned that since the start of Covid-19, Root and the English players have played the most number of Test matches.- EndsMust Watch
