Indonesia Open: Sindhu goes past Okuhara, Sen crashes out
Jakarta: Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu fought her way into the second round of the Indonesia Open Super 1000 badminton tournament while Lakshya Sen made an early exit after a hard-fought loss in the opening round on Tuesday. Sindhu edged past her long-time rival Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in a thrilling one-hour and 19-minute women's singles match, winning 22-20, 21-23, 21-15. Sindhu and Okuhara were locked in a hard-fought battle marked by unforced errors and multiple game and match points. In the opening game, the Indian shuttler displayed nerves of steel, saving a game point and firing timely attacking shots to edge it 22-20. The second game saw Sindhu take a narrow early lead before trailing 7-11 at the interval. She rallied back strongly and earned two match points with a powerful cross-court smash. But repeated errors allowed Okuhara to draw level at 20-all and the Japanese shuttler eventually took the game 23-21. In the deciding game, both players adopt a cautious approach, avoiding unnecessary risks. Sindhu led 11-9 at the break and then found her rhythm, stringing together a series of winners to race ahead 20-12. She earned eight match points and converted the fifth to seal the victory and advance to the round of 16. After the match, Sindhu remembered her past meetings with Okuhara in 14 years and the bond they share off the court. "14 years. 20 matches. From my longest to the shortest World Championship finals — always with her. We've shared wins, losses, and a rivalry only we understand. Keep fighting, Nozomi. The court's never quite the same without you," she wrote on X. Meanwhile, the 2021 World Championships bronze medallist Sen put up a spirited fight against world No. 1 Shi Yu Qi of China but eventually went down 11-21, 22-20, 15-21 in a tightly contested first-round men's singles match that lasted one hour and five minutes. The 23-year-old made a strong return from a back injury that had sidelined him from last week's tournament in Malaysia, showing commendable grit despite the defeat. Down 11-17 in the second game, he staged a determined fightback, saving a match point and eventually snatching the game 22-20 to force a decider. However, the momentum didn't last, as world No. 1 Shi Yu Qi regained control in the third game to close out the match. In other matches, Anupama Upadhyaya bowed out following a straight-games defeat to South Korea's Kim Ga Eun. Later in the day, HS Prannoy and the men's doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty are scheduled to take the court.

‘Please god, just once': RCB fans seek divine help ahead of IPL 2025 final, visit temples, take holy dips
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans are not ready to leave anything to chance this year and are seeking divine intervention for their favourite team to win the IPL 2025 final against Punjab Kings (PBKS). RCB have qualified for the Indian Premier League final thrice in the past, losing all three times in 2009, 2011 and 2016. However, this year, the RCB fans have taken it upon themselves to bring some extra luck to Virat Kohli and his team, led by Rajat Patidar. Donning team jerseys, RCB fans are visiting temples, taking holy dips and performing special prayers in the name of star player Virat Kohli. Fans have also flooded social media platforms with comments asking God to help RCB win. 'Please, god, please, just once,' said a fan. 'Rcb ko jitwane me Bhagwan madad karna,' said another fan. A fan said: 'Dear GOD. Please be kind to RCB one last time.' 'The backhand team is more stronger than the on-field team,' a user quipped. RCB will face PBKS today, June 3, in an attempt to end their title drought in the competition. Neither team has won a single IPL series in 18 years. While the RCB was close three times, PBKS qualified for the final only once in 2014 when they were known as Kings XI Punjab. Royal Challengers Bengaluru were the first team to qualify for the final. They finished the league stage in second spot with 19 points from 14 games before beating Punjab Kings by eight wickets in Qualifier 1 to book their berth in the final. Virat Kohli has been RCB's go-to man with the bat this season, having accumulated 614 runs at an average of 55.82 and a strike rate of 146.53 this season. On the bowling front, Josh Hazlewood has been their leading wicket-taker with 21 scalps in 11 games at an average of 15.80 and an economy of 8.30. Punjab Kings topped the league stage with 19 points from 14 games and a better net run rate than RCB. However, PBKS lost their Qualifier 1 game against RCB, which led to them facing Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 2 clash. They won by five wickets to secure their spot in the summit match. Skipper Shreyas Iyer has been Punjab Kings' best batter this season with 603 runs at an average of 54.82 and a strike rate of 175.80. He also made a match-winning 41-ball 87 not out against MI in Qualifier 2 to help guide PBKS into the final. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has been Punjab Kings' main man with the ball, having claimed 18 wickets in 16 games at an average of 26.55 and an economy of 8.79. In terms of the head-to-head record between the sides, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings have played each other 36 times, with both teams winning 18 times each.
