MasterChef India's Karishma Sakhrani opens The Viceroy's Table in Dubai
The menu combines British and Indian flavours.
The UAE is home to world-class restaurants, from homegrown talent to celebrity chefs. Now, MasterChef India finalist Karishma Sakhrani is adding some star power to Dubai's dining scene. Located in the Hyatt Place Hotel, Jumeirah, The Viceroy's Table will open soon and showcase British Indian food.
The Viceroy's Table draws its name from the Viceroys of India, and the last one was Lord Mountbatten, who was the uncle of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. The concept aims to revive old clubs in India.
The Viceroy's Table will have a novel approach to its fusion of flavours. While the full menu has not yet been revealed, we know it will bring together contemporary Indian cuisine and seasonal British ingredients. The menu will include chatpata sharing plates, tandoor dishes and cocktails infused with Indian spices.
Karishma featured on season four of MasterChef India. The competitive cooking programme is based on the original British TV show, MasterChef. The season featured Indian chefs Sanjeev Kapoor and Vikas Khanna as judges. Vikas also has a restaurant in Dubai, Kinara by Vikas Khanna, which is located in JA Lake View Hotel in Jebel Ali.
Hyatt Place Hotel, Jumeirah is also home to a range of restaurants and bars. The venues include Focus Bar for bites and beverages, Focus Restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as international cuisine; and Wox for Pan-Asian food, featuring noodles to wok dishes.

Grebnev reclaims solo leadership with two rounds to go in Dubai chess tourney
Grandmaster (GM) Aleksey Grebnev of Russia once again distanced himself from the field with a hard-fought win against International Master (IM) S. Rohith Krishna of India in Monday night's seventh round of the 25th Dubai Open Chess Tournament at the Dubai Chess and Culture Club. Grebnev captalised on a series of blunders by Krishna in what was otherwise an equal position to dispose of his erstwhile co-leader and take the tournament lead with six points. The 18-year-old Russian is trailed closely by two other teenage grandmasters three years his junior - his compatriot Ivan Zemlyanskii and Sina Movahed of Iran, who both have 5.5 points. Movahed, who turned 15 last week during the tournament's opening day, and Zemlyanskii, two months shy of his 15th birthday in August, scored the biggest scalps of the round after defeating defending champion GM Mahammad Muradli and top-seed GM Nihal Sarin, respectively. Movahed inflicted Muradli's second consecutive loss in the tournament. Muradli was on the backpedal right out of the opening as Movahed sacrificed a pawn to weaken the Azerbaijani's kingside defence. Movahed, however, could not find the precise continuation to convert his advantage until a greedy pawn grab by Muradli on the 39th move allowed the Iranian to launch an overwhelming attack with all his pieces contributing to the onslaught. Muradli resigned three moves later. After being held by two consecutive draws, Nihal, playing the black pieces, once again took big risks to play for a win. The ploy initially worked as he started to create weaknesses around white's kingside, but the Indian failed to find the most accurate way to sustain the offensive, allowing Zemlyanskii to force an exchange of queens that neutralised the attack and left him a pawn up in the endgame. Grebnev will have the black pieces as he tries to protect his lead when he faces Movahed in the next round. In Category B, Fide Master (FM) Mahdi Nikookar of Iran ended his perfect run after a draw with Sri Lanka's Pesandu Rashmitha Liyanage in the seventh round. Nikookar, however, remains the solo leader with 6.5 points, followed by Liyanage and Indian Candidate Master (CM) Alankar Sawai Vandan with six points each. Vandan defeated Armenia's Davit Baghdasaryan. The tournament follows a 9-round Swiss system with a 90-minute time control plus a 30-second increment per move. Games are played every day from 5pm, except the final round on June 4, which starts at 10am. The awarding ceremony is on June 5. The tournament offers a prize pool of $52,000 to be handed out to the winners of both categories. Category A, contested by players with a rating over 2300, has a total prize fund of $39,500 with $12,000 going to the champion, while Category B, open to players rated below 2300, offers $12,500 in total prizes and $2,000 awarded to the champion. Special prizes will also be distributed to top performers among rating categories, unrated, youth, women, and UAE players. Chess fans from around the world can watch the Category A games live on the club's website as well as chess platforms such as and Earlier, International Master (IM) S Rohith Krishna of India defeated defending champion GM Mahammad Muradli to rise to the top of the standings in a tie with Grandmaster (GM) Aleksey Grebnev after Sunday night's sixth round. Grebnev drew with top-seed GM Nihal Sarin on the first board, allowing Krishna to join him for the lead with five points each. Nihal remains in joint second place with 4.5 points, alongside his compatriot GM Bharath Subramaniyam, GM Zemlyanskii, GM Shant Sargsyan, and GM Movahed. Muradli sacrificed a pawn on move six in a delayed Benko Gambit and a few moves later the game reached a position that was previously seen in a game between world number two Hikaru Nakamura and former FIDE world champion Ruslan Ponomariov. Muradli, however, deviated on move 13, a questionable decision that allowed Krishna to gain time to reinforce his central pawns and plant an uncontested knight on the c4-square, the white knight's ideal outpost in the Benko Gambit.

The West Indies skipper picked up from where she had left last month at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Pakistan. Leading the white-ball side on the tour of England, Matthews emerged as the leading performer in the three-match T20I series. The swashbuckling batter scored 177 runs at a hefty strike rate of 137.20, averaging 88.50. The 27-year-old also claimed three wickets and was named the Player of the Series. Following it up in the first of the three ODIs against England, Matthews was also at her all-round best - picking up two wickets and 48 runs in the fixture. Hayley Matthews' magic with the bat | WCWCQ 2025 The South Africa all-rounder led their efforts in the ODI tri-series against India and Sri Lanka. Tyron compiled 176 runs from three ODIs across the month, averaging 58.66, while also nabbing six wickets at an economy of just 5. The 31-year-old all-rounder was particularly impressive in South Africa's final outing of the tri-series against hosts Sri Lanka. With the Proteas batting first, Tyron's 74 helped her side past the 300-run mark to a staggering total. With the ball, the left-arm orthodox spinner then went on to seize her first-ever ODI five-wicket haul - finishing with figures of 5/34. The Indian batting maestro was on song during India's triumphant tri-series in Sri Lanka. Rodrigues amassed 204 runs from the final three fixtures, including the summit clash against Sri Lanka, to help India to a statement win with the Women's Cricket World Cup at home on the horizon. The elegant right-handed batter produced a remarkable performance against South Africa in the run to the final. Having scored her maiden ODI ton earlier this year, Rodrigues went on to score her second in the format, stitching together 123 runs off 101 deliveries, which included 15 fours and a six. In the final against Sri Lanka, Rodrigues produced a crucial knock off 44 to help India to a commanding total, and eventually a 97-run win.
