World number 1 Novak Djokovic won his 4th Mubadala title on Sunday by beating South Africa's Kevin Anderson 4-6, 7-5, 7-5. With this win, the Serbian has now equalled Rafael Nadal's record who too has won the same number of Mubadala titles. Though Djokovic lost the 1st set, he made a strong comeback to win the final 2 sets. The 14-time Grand Slam champion who won the Wimbledon and US Open this year is now eyeing his 7th Australian Open title starting next month.

There may be just 2-3 weeks left before the Indian team flies to Australia for their high-profile tour, but the Australian Cricket Board is still&nbsp;negotiating over India's quarantining Down Under. In a statement the board said that this is an extremely detailed and complex plan that places the health and safety of the community,&nbsp;players and staff as paramount and there is clarification required&nbsp;in order to finalise arrangements. Team India is scheduled to quarantine in Brisbane, where they are due to play 3 T20I and as many ODIs in Queensland in late November&nbsp;and early December, before moving on to Adelaide for the first of the 4 Tests. Indian team and many Australian cricketers will directly travel Down Under from UAE&nbsp;straight after the IPL.

World champion PV Sindhu's&nbsp;Instagram&nbsp;post from England surprised many as she was supposed to be in the ongoing national camp for Olympic hopefuls. But why did she leave the camp midway and landed in London? The Indian shuttler&nbsp;clarified that she had travelled to the UK to work on her recovery and nutrition. According to a report in the Times of India, Sindhu&nbsp;had informed the coaches at the&nbsp;Pullela Gopichand Academy that she will stay there for about 2 months. A few reports had earlier indicated that she left the country following tensions in her family. But the former World number 2 has denied any such rift.

Opening up on the criticism for sticking to the same team&nbsp;despite a terrible season, Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni&nbsp;said that him and the team management didn&rsquo;t see the spark in their youngsters to push them into the playing XI. After the loss against Rajasthan, MSD&nbsp;said that the reason why he didn't chop and change much was because he didn't want insecurity in the dressing room. Dhoni&nbsp;added that maybe going forward, they will give more chances to the youngsters and probably&nbsp;they will play without pressure. 3 time champions Chennai failed to find a winning combination in the 13th edition of the IPL&nbsp;which proved to be their nemesis.&nbsp;

IPL Points Table after Match 37: Chennai vs Rajasthan &nbsp;

3-time winners Chennai Super Kings lost their 4th match in 5 outings as they went down without a fight to Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals. Batting first on a slow looking track in Abu&nbsp;Dhabi, Chennai managed a below-par 125/5 from their 20 overs. Ravindra&nbsp;Jadeja&nbsp;scored 35 but the rest failed to put up a show. The spinners from Rajasthan&nbsp;dominated the proceedings as Gopal&nbsp;&amp; Tewatia&nbsp;gave away just 32 from their 8 overs. The men in pink in reply got off to a poor start as they lost 3 wickets for just 28 runs. Jos Buttler&nbsp;and Steve Smith prevented further damage as they guided home their team to the 4th win in 9 games this season. Steve Smith scored an unbeaten 26 but Jos&nbsp;Buttler&nbsp;took the game away from Chennai Super Kings with a stroke filed 70 off 48 balls. Royals secured 2 points to climb to the 5th spot&nbsp;as Chennai slumped to the bottom of the points table once again.&nbsp;

Former India captain MS Dhoni&nbsp;became the first cricketer to play 200 matches in the Indian Premier League. The major landmark came as Chennai Super Kings' captain played against Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals in Abu Dhabi on Monday. One of the oldest players in the league, Dhoni&nbsp;has played for Chennai Super Kings and also for Rising Pune&nbsp;Super Giants for 2 seasons when CSK&nbsp;was banned. With 200 matches, Dhoni&nbsp;leads the list ahead of Rohit&nbsp;Sharma and Suresh&nbsp;Raina&nbsp;who have played 197 and 192 matches respectively.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Coming from a thrilling double super over win over defending champions Mumbai&nbsp;Indians, Kings XI Punjab now face&nbsp;the top-placed Delhi Capitals on Tuesday at the Dubai International Stadium. While struggling Punjab has won just 3 games out of 9, KL Rahul's men will look to keep up with their pace in the upcoming matches in order to make it to the playoffs. Following their close win against CSK, Delhi Capitals are oozing confidence with a total of 7 wins out of their 9 games so far. Chris Gayle's return has helped the team but inconsistent Punjab&nbsp;still needs to&nbsp;address its middle-order and death bowling issues. Although their last encounter saw the match going into a super-over with DC emerging as the winners, it is Punjab that&nbsp;enjoys a&nbsp;14-11 head to head record against Delhi.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will have another shot at getting some momentum going as they lock horns in Abu&nbsp;Dhabi&nbsp;on Monday. Both teams have had more failures than victories and have managed just 3 wins each from their respective 9 games. CSK&nbsp;and Royals need to win each of their remaining 5 games now in order to qualify for the playoffs on their own.&nbsp;Though batting is a concern for both the teams, one thing in Chennai's favour is the fact that they enjoy a 14-9 head-to-head record against Rajasthan. But the Royals got the better of&nbsp;CSK&nbsp;in a high-scoring game in Sharjah&nbsp;earlier in the tournament. Come Monday, both sides will fight for survival.

The Pakistan Cricket Board wants ICC&nbsp;to assure visas for its players and officials for next year's World T20 scheduled to be held in India. In a chat with PTI, PCB&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Wasim&nbsp;Khan said that there is a 'Host Agreement' that states very clearly that host nation&nbsp;will have to provide visas and accommodation for teams&nbsp;that are due to participate in the T20 World Cup and&nbsp;directive and confirmation will clearly need to come from the government. Khan added that they have asked&nbsp;for a deadline till December-January, which they believe is the right thing.&nbsp;

Praveen Dubey&nbsp;has replaced Amit&nbsp;Mishra&nbsp;for the remaining&nbsp;Delhi Capitals' IPL campaign this season, confirmed the franchise on Monday. Dubey&nbsp;who is already stationed in&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;as&nbsp;RCB's&nbsp;net bowler was picked up by RCB&nbsp;for the 2016 IPL. The 27-year-old however, did not play any games for Banglore and was released after 2 seasons.&nbsp;The decision came after Amit&nbsp;Mishra&nbsp;was ruled out of the tournament due to a ring&nbsp;finger injury in the right hand.&nbsp;Karnataka-based&nbsp;Dubey&nbsp;who has played 14 domestic T20 matches for his state has taken 16 wickets so far.&nbsp;

While the 3-time IPL&nbsp;champions Chennai Super Kings are already in troubled waters,&nbsp;CSK&nbsp;Coach Stephen Flemming&nbsp;said that Dwayne Bravo could be out for a few days or a couple of weeks owing to his right groin injury. Bravo who was unfit to bowl the final over for CSK&nbsp;on Saturday has been desperately disappointed after Delhi Capitals won the match by 5 wickets, told the head coach. When asked about a&nbsp;replacement,&nbsp;CSK&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Kasi&nbsp;Viswanathan&nbsp;clarified that it is unlikely that the team will have a replacement at this stage and went on to explain that if a new person comes in, he will have to be quarantined before joining the squad.&nbsp;

Liverpool's&nbsp;Premier League&nbsp;title defence dealt&nbsp;a big blow on Sunday as star defender Virgil van Dijk will undergo surgery on his right knee after damaging ligaments&nbsp;in a challenge by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford during the Merseyside derby. Though the Premier League champions&nbsp;did not give a timescale on Van Dijk's absence, but an injury of that nature is likely to keep the Netherlands international out for a long period with reports that he&nbsp;could miss the rest of the season.&nbsp;Van Dijk was the subject of a reckless lunge by Pickford&nbsp;and the centre-back&nbsp;hobbled gingerly around the field to the changing room.

Kolkata Knight Riders batsman&nbsp;Rahul Tripathi&nbsp;was reprimanded for breaching IPL's&nbsp;code of conduct during KKR's&nbsp;thrilling Super Over win vs the Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad. Though IPL&nbsp;didn't furnish the nature of the offence but Tripathi&nbsp;admitted&nbsp;to the Level 1 offence 2.3 of the Code of Conduct.&nbsp;For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee's decision is final and binding.

In one of the most sensational comebacks in West Ham history, The Hammers fought back from 3 goals down to hold Tottenham to a 3-3 draw in the Premier League on Sunday night. The Spurs were on a rampage as they netted all 3 goals in the first 16 minutes. But West Ham turned the match on its head in the dying minutes of the game. 2 goals in the last 8 minutes and another in injury time stunned the Spurs.&nbsp;West Ham are now the first team in Premier League history to avoid defeat in a game having trailed by 3 or more goals as late as the 81st minute.&nbsp;Tottenham on the other hand have failed to win any of their opening 3 home games of a Premier League season for just the fourth time.&nbsp;

All 12 women wrestlers who had&nbsp;assembled at SAI centre in Lucknow, including Olympic qualifier&nbsp;Vinesh&nbsp;Phogat, have tested negative for Covid-19. National coach Kuldeep&nbsp;Mallik&nbsp;told PTI&nbsp;that&nbsp;light training will began from Monday with the focus on general fitness, gym training, running and exercise. Mat training will start from October 26. 4 more wrestlers including Rio Olympics&nbsp;bronze medallist Sakshi&nbsp;Malik&nbsp;will join the camp on October 25.&nbsp;The camp was postponed twice due to the pandemic but will now continue till December 31.

Never in the history of cricket did a match go into a double Super Over but that changed on Sunday. Kings XI Punjab fought tooth and nail as their campaign hung by a thread and beat Mumbai Indians in a double Super Over. Chasing 177, KL Rahul once again led Punjab from the front and smashed a 51-ball-77 and became the first&nbsp;Indian player to score 500 runs in 3 consecutive IPL seasons. He though couldn't take his side over the finish line as the game ended in a tie and for&nbsp;the&nbsp;first time in IPL history both games of a double header went into a Super Over.&nbsp; If that wasn't enough, it also couldn't separate the 2 teams as the scores were tied once again. Mumbai managed 11 runs in the second Super Over, which Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal chased down with ease. Punjab's 2nd consecutive win means that they can still qualify for the playoffs on their own, given they win the remaining 5 games.

Kolkata Knight Riders have now made it a habit of winning nail-biting games as KKR pulled off yet another thriller. This time beating Sunrisers Hyderabad in a Super Over. Batting first, Kolkata had a slow start until Dinesh Karthik and Eoin Morgan's 58-run stand in the last 5 overs powered KKR to 163/5. Chasing which, SRH were off to a strong start and scored 58 runs in the powerplay overs. But Lockie Ferguson had other plans. Playing his first game of the season, he rattled the Sunrisers with a spell of 3/15. David Warner came lower down the order and took SRH's hopes alive with a gritty 47. In the process, he also became the first foreign player to complete 5000 runs in the IPL. But SRH managed 163/6 as the game went into a Super Over. Ferguson once again worked his magic and cleaned up both batsmen to restrict Hyderabad to just 2 runs, which KKR chased down with ease. They have now won 5 of their 9 games.

7 months after being crowned the I-League champions, Mohun&nbsp;Bagan&nbsp;were finally presented with the trophy on Sunday. The club had won the championship on March 10 with 4 rounds to spare but since the season ended abruptly because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the celebrations had to wait. Though the ceremony happened in the presence of just a few selected invitees, but thousands of fans filled the streets of Kolkata as the trophy was carried out in an open vehicle&nbsp;parade. Fans though gave almost no importance to social distancing and many people were spotted without masks as they danced on the streets. Mohun&nbsp;Bagan&nbsp;had announced its merger with Indian Super League's current champions&nbsp;Atl&eacute;tico de Kolkata&nbsp;in January.
