New Delhi: Another dramatic twist in the race for IPL 2026 Orange Cap and Purple Cap after Gujarat Titans’ defeat Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 on Friday for the final clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore.Despite Rajasthan Royals crashing out of the tournament, teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi retained the Orange Cap with another breathtaking innings. The 15-year-old scored 96 runs in just 47 balls in New Chandigarh, taking his tally of runs to 776 in 16 matches this season.However, his valiant effort was not enough to take RR to the final.The biggest threat to Suryavanshi’s Orange Cap now comes from Gujarat Titans’ opening pair of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarshan, who once again performed brilliantly while chasing the crucial target.Gill scored a brilliant century in Qualifier 2 and moved up to second in the standings with 722 runs, while Sudarshan’s fluent half-century helped him move up to third with 710 runs.With GT now heading into the IPL 2026 final against RCB in Ahmedabad on Sunday, both Gill and Sudarshan will get one final chance to overtake Suryavanshi in the race for the tournament’s highest run-scorer award.The list of top five run getters is currently dominated by batsmen from playoff teams. Sunrisers Hyderabad stars Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan are at the fourth and fifth positions with 624 and 602 runs respectively.RCB’s batting icon Virat Kohli also remains in controversy. Kohli is currently placed sixth with 600 runs and can still rise in the standings during the final.

A pregnant Ghanaian woman and her young son have been held at Washington Dulles International Airport for more than a week, with the pair being held in a windowless detention cell despite serious health concerns, according to lawyers.Annabella Gyasi, 38, arrived at Dulles Airport last Tuesday with her four-year-old son after traveling from Ghana for a medical appointment in Ohio. According to an emergency court petition filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Virginia, the boy was born with deformed hands and was scheduled to be evaluated at Akron Children’s Hospital on May 30 to determine whether he is now old enough for surgery.Instead of boarding their connecting flight, Gyasi and his son were detained by US Customs and Border Protection officers.The couple first traveled to the US in 2024 for treatment for the child, but later returned to Ghana after doctors advised he was still too young for surgery.Gyasi is more than four months pregnant and told immigration officials she feared returning to Ghana because of the harassment she and her son faced. His lawyers say that statement led to his detention.“Ms. Gyasi traveled to the United States legally to get the medical care she needed for her son, but the illegal detention and inhumane treatment she is experiencing at Dulles is putting her son’s health at risk as well as her own,” Sophia Gregg, senior counsel for immigrants’ rights at the ACLU of Virginia, said in a statement.Legal filings allege Gyasi has been hospitalized twice since arriving in the US due to pregnancy-related complications, including vaginal bleeding and dizziness. Despite receiving treatment, he was returned to the airport detention facility after both hospital visits. Doctors raised concerns that she was not eating enough and experiencing stress while in custody. They also allege that repeated requests for additional food for both mother and child were refused.According to the ACLU, Gyasi ultimately agreed to sign the deportation paperwork because she feared for the health of her unborn child and believed it was the only way to secure adequate food. His legal team later informed the authorities that the decision was taken out of frustration.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has rejected the allegations of abuse.“These allegations are false,” the department said in a statement.He added: “Everyone in CBP custody, including this individual, has access to appropriate care, including medical evaluation by a doctor, medication, and food.”Immigration officials argued that Gyasi could not use a tourist visa to enter the country because she had said under oath that she wanted to seek asylum and did not plan to return to Ghana.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday flagged the “worrying trend” of women misusing laws on dowry harassment, domestic violence and POCSO by filing frivolous and vexatious complaints against husbands and in-laws. The court said that the genuine cases are being blurred and obscured due to the “huge” number of false cases filed by the spouses as a way of “arm twisting” to reach a more attractive settlement.A bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan said that nowadays when a relationship turns sour, a “marital bouquet” is presented against the estranged husband and wife.“This set of cases often involves spurious and hollow allegations and false claims of harassment, cruelty and marital difficulties, often bearing little or no substance and generally not supported by any material or other documentary evidence,” the bench said.The Supreme Court said, “We also take judicial cognizance of the fact that the courts of law are being misused and the burden of such vague and vexatious litigation between spouses is increasing.”The bench said that there are many cases where women are actually looking for relief from the acts of their spouses and the onus is on the courts to separate the wheat from the chaff. It added that care should be taken to ensure that the rights and liberties of innocent parties are not trampled upon or arbitrarily taken away by dishonest and baseless litigation.“A recent trend in this regard is when the wife resorts to filing false complaints under the POCSO Act, alleging that the husband has committed undesirable acts of a sexual nature against the minor daughter. At the center of such a suit is a child who is often used by his mother against his father, against his will and wishes, to make false and vexatious complaints against his father… out of revenge or a high monetary settlement As a tactic of arm twisting to get by or simply to annoy.” Said.The court passed the order quashing criminal proceedings under POCSO filed by a girl against her father, uncle and other family members. The court said there was no evidence to prove the allegations and the girl was taught by her mother.“Courts have to exercise utmost restraint while considering such suits and criminal proceedings as any missteps and excesses can have a cascading effect on the mental and physical health of the parties involved and the sanctity of the institution of marriage.”

Iga Swiatek is once again advancing at Roland Garros. The four-time French Open champion defeated fellow Polish player Magda Linette 6-4, 6-4 in Paris on Friday to book her place in the fourth round. The win also gave Swiatek a brief chance at revenge after Linnett defeated her at the Miami Open earlier this season. The win was Swiatek’s third consecutive win at this year’s tournament and kept alive his hopes of adding another Roland Garros title to his collection. Next, she will face Marta Kostyuk, who reached the fourth round after defeating Viktorija Golubić in straight sets and extending her clay-court winning streak. However, after her latest win, Swiatek wasn’t just talking about tennis. Instead, he shared how Rafael Nadal’s lessons have helped him deal with difficult moments and stay focused during matches. Nadal, who won Roland Garros a record 14 times, spent time working with Swiatek earlier this year and says those conversations will continue to help him on court.

Iga Swiatek says Rafael Nadal’s advice and mentality will continue to help him at Roland Garros

Speaking after her win over Magda Linette, Swiatek explained that Nadal’s biggest influence was not just technical advice. “There were some technical tips, but the most you can learn from Rafa is his approach to the game and he also showed that it is not always easy,” Swiatek said.“It seems like when he lifts his trophy on TV, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes. Even the best players in the world struggle sometimes. He got over it and worked at this thing and never gave up.“Rafa is the perfect example of that and he can share some stories with me too, which is amazing because he’s really open to advice and I really appreciate that.”Swiatek began teaming up with Nadal’s former coach Francisco Roig at the beginning of the clay-court season. This partnership began after his coaching relationship with Wim Fiset ended. Roig was part of Nadal’s team during many of the Spaniard’s great successes and has also worked with Emma Raducanu and Giovanni Mpeteschi Pericard.So far, Swiatek and Roig have worked together during tournaments in Stuttgart, Madrid and Rome. Although she has not won a title since the partnership began, her performance in Paris shows that she is gaining confidence at the right time. Roland Garros has been one of the most successful tournaments of Swiatek’s career. It won the trophy in 2020 and then won three consecutive titles from 2022 to 2024. Over the years, very few players have managed to stop him in Paris.Now, having been assured of another fourth round appearance, Swiatek remains one of the strongest contenders for the title. Her next challenge against Marta Kostyuk is expected to be much tougher, but the lessons she learned from Rafael Nadal will continue to help her as the tournament reaches its biggest stage yet.
