Uttar Pradesh Wrestling Association: Noida witnessed a packed house on Sunday evening as fans filled the Noida Indoor Stadium for the high-octane Pro Wrestling League final between Delhi Dangal Warriors and Haryana Thunders. It was the leagues first final since 2019, marking its return after a long suspension triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the absence of several top international wrestlers and familiar Indian stars, the Pro Wrestling League drew strong crowds throughout the tournament, underlining its enduring connection with Indian wrestling fans. The finale began on a spiritual note, with renowned musician Rasraj Ji Maharaj (Raj Kumar Gaur) holding the audience spellbound with devotional performances dedicated to Lord Shri Ram and Lord Hanuman. The evening was attended by several dignitaries, including PWL chairman Dayaan Farooqi, CEO Akhil Gupta, Wrestling Federation of India president Sanjay Singh, former WFI president Brij Bhushan Singh and Uttar Pradesh Wrestling Association president Karan Bhushan Singh. Making a much-anticipated comeback after six years, the league had last been staged in 2019 before being forced off the calendar due to the pandemic. This time, however, the organisers ensured the revival lived up to expectations, keeping fans engaged with vibrant on-ground entertainment and a steady presence of celebrities.

Ranji Trophy: Karnataka, Jharkhand, Andhra, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir Qualify For Quarter-finals
IS Bindra Stadium: Karnataka, Jharkhand, Andhra, Uttarakhand and Jammu & Kashmir sealed their places in the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals after getting favourable results on the last day of their seventh round league matches. At the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Karnataka captain Devdutt Padikkal smashed an unbeaten 120 off 85 balls to steer his side to a stunning chase of 250 in just 27.5 overs against Punjab and clinch the last quarter-final spot. The left-hander, elevated to captaincy after Karnataka suffered a heavy defeat to Madhya Pradesh in the last game, aced the chase with a commanding knock and was supported by Mayank Agarwals brisk 53 off 36 balls. Saurashtra, who had beaten Chandigarh by an innings and 56 runs, looked set to hold the last quarter-final berth from Elite Group B after Madhya Pradesh sealed their spot. But their hopes hinged on Karnataka failing to win in Mohali. Padikkals emphatic knock ensured otherwise happened. Karnatakas bowlers had earlier restricted Punjab to 256 in the second innings, but the effort took 101 overs, leaving time a factor. Padikkal responded with urgency, racing to his first fifty in 42 balls and his second in just 32 deliveries, before sealing victory by hitting the winning runs. In terms of Elite Group A, Jharkhand, Andhra and Vidarbha were locked on 31 points at the top of Group A. But bonus point wins separated them, Jharkhand advancing with three, Andhra with two, while defending champions Vidarbha bowed out with only one against their name. Though Vidarbha beat Uttar Pradesh in Nagpur, they will miss the knockouts by a whisker and that means a new Ranji Trophy champion will be crowned this season. Vidarbha will be ruing the loss they had at the hands of Andhra, which ultimately proved to cause their downfall. In terms of Elite Group C, after Bengal beat Haryana to become table-toppers and enter the knockouts in Rohtak, Uttarakhand followed them into the quarter-finals after beating Assam by an innings and 42 runs. Mayank Mishra picked up 6-86 as Uttarakhand bowled out Assam for 278 after forcing them to follow-on. Captain Kunal Chandela's double-century in the first innings handed Uttarakhand the initiative early and they never let go of it in a dominating clash in Dehradun. In Elite Group D, with Mumbai forced to draw against Delhi, thanks to visitors skipper Ayush Doseja making an unbeaten 159, Jammu and Kashmir marked their progression into the knockouts as the second best side. J&K had taken a massive lead of 603 runs in the first innings against Himachal Pradesh, who were bowled out for 168 in the first innings and were in trouble at 26/2 in their second essay. But due to overnight rain, no play was possible on day four at the Amtar cricket ground in Nadaun.
