SRH out of contention after washout vs DC
Agencies
Sunrisers Hyderabad hopes of reaching the Indian Premier League play-offs are over after rain washed out their match against Delhi Capitals, reports BBC.com.
Needing to win their last four matches to have any chance of qualifying, Sunrisers' bowlers did their job by restricting the Capitals to 133 for7.
It could have been worse for the visitors who were 29-5 but Tristan Stubbs hit 41 not out and Ashutosh Sharma 41. Sunrisers captain Pat Cummins took 3-19.
Sunrisers' bid was ruined, however, when the drizzle that arrived late in Delhi's innings turned into torrential rain during the interval.
The players were unable to return to the field.
The point moves Sunrisers - beaten finalists last year - up to eighth but with three matches left they are seven points outside of the top four.
Delhi remain fifth, having missed the chance to move into the top four, but the point is more than looked likely during their batting effort.

Test cricket still the pinnacle in eyes of Kohli
Agencies India great Virat Kohli has reflected on his Test career for the first time since announcing his retirement from the format, calling it 'five levels' above other formats in the midst of Indian Premier League (IPL) glory, reports Interviewed in the moments after Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally lifted the trophy after 18 years of trying, a jubilant Kohli was given an opportunity to reminisce on his career in whites, providing perspective even as confetti fell on him in Ahmedabad. 'This moment (the IPL win) is right up there with the best moments I've had in my career, but it's still marks five levels under Test cricket. 'That's how much I value Test cricket. That's how much I love Test cricket.' On top of his 9230 runs at 46.85 in a revered career in whites, Kohli also featured in two World Test Championship Finals across the first two cycles of the competition. He then played a key role in India's third WTC campaign, finishing third behind South Africa and Australia, who meet at Lord's for the 2025 World Test Championship Final. The right-hand batter went on to push the next generation to pursue success in the red-ball format, even in a new era where white-ball cricket has claimed a bigger foothold in the game. 'I would just urge youngsters coming through to treat that format with respect. 'If you perform in Test cricket, you walk around anywhere in the world, people look you in the eye, shake your hand and say 'Well done, you played the game really well.' 'If you want to earn respect in world cricket all over, take up Test cricket, give your heart and soul to it and earn the respect from legends.' Kohli bowed out of Test cricket with 30 centuries, and India won 40 times in the 68 matches he captained, making him the most successful skipper for his country in the format.

'Eleven people have died and 33 others are injured,' he said.

India's NDTV broadcaster also reported that at least 11 people died. Local TV news channels showed footage of police shifting the injured and those who fell unconscious to ambulances. DK Shivakumar, the deputy chief minister of Karnataka, told reporters that 'the crowd was very uncontrollable'.
