It's the clash of the top 2 in IPL, as Chennai Super Kings host Delhi Capitals at 8 PM on Wednesday. Though both sides are through to the playoffs, they still have a lot to play for. Both CSK and DC will be eyeing a top 2 finish, as it will give them a 1 match cushion in the next stage. The yellow army have lost 3 of their last 5 matches, whereas Delhi is on a phenomenal run and have tasted victory in 6 of their past 7 outings. But Dhoni's men, who have lost just 1 match at home this season, are a force to reckon with in their own backyard.

After India's back to back poor performances&nbsp;against New Zealand&nbsp;in ODIs&nbsp;&amp; then the 1st Test, former Indian skipper&nbsp;Kapil&nbsp;Dev criticized the team for making constant changes &amp; not including the 'in-form' KL&nbsp;Rahul.&nbsp;The World Cup-winning captain said that if there was no security over a cricketer's place then it will affect their form. Kapil&nbsp;addressed the faults in the batting order and said that&nbsp;the Test batters were&nbsp;not able&nbsp;to conquer conditions. After losing the 1st Test by 10 wickets, Team India will play the 2nd and final test starting Saturday.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Decision Review System will be introduced for the Ranji&nbsp;Trophy's&nbsp;semifinals&nbsp;and the Final match, with each team getting 4 referrals per innings. The system will be featured&nbsp;for the first time in Indian domestic cricket when&nbsp;Saurashtra&nbsp;will take on Gujrat&nbsp;on Saturday. BCCI&nbsp;took the decision after umpires committed&nbsp;a few howlers in the last season.&nbsp;Interestingly&nbsp;2 key components of the DRS,&nbsp;the Hawk-eye and Ultra edge will not be implemented.

Was the crushing in Wellington a one-off defeat or is it something to bother for Team India and their think tank as they prepare for the 2nd Test vs New Zealand. While Captain Virat&nbsp;Kohli played down the chatter after the Test match, the reality is that this was the first loss for his side in Tests in the ongoing World Championship. A loss is a loss but a 10-wicket defeat was nothing short of a gut punch. Despite the loss, India still sits on top of the points table but can't afford to slip further. While Kohli&nbsp;himself struggles on the pitch as he hasn't scored a hundred in the last 20 innings, the core performers of Team India like Cheteshwar Pujara, Mohd&nbsp;Shami and Jasprit&nbsp;Bumrah&nbsp;too failed to make a dent in Wellington. The 2nd Test vs New Zealand&nbsp;starts on Saturday and the fans will be hoping for a complete turnaround by Team India.&nbsp;

This one is not for the faint-hearted. A footballer by the name of&nbsp;Jane O'Toole playing in Scottish women's&nbsp;league dislocated her kneecap while playing the game. Normally, players wait for the doctors but this woman punched the kneecap back into the place. Shockingly, Jane went on to complete the game but lost&nbsp;the match 7-0.&nbsp;
