We've been sloppy throughout tournament, says Gambhir

Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir today blamed his fielders for their 48-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL.

David Warner smashed a 59-ball 126 to power Sunrisers to an imposing 209-3. They then returned to restrict KKR to 161-7 in their stipulated 20 overs.


Disappointed at their fielding effort, Gambhir said: "We need to improve in our fielding, we've been very sloppy throughout the tournament. We really need to pull up our socks.

"It all depends on concentration, how much you can focus and how much every run means to you, it's not like we don't know how to field.

"We dropped Warner today and that's what cost us.

Bowler's couldn't have done much, but credit goes to him for the shots he played."

In the 10th over, Warner was dropped by Chris Woakes when he played a lofted drive off Kuldeep Yadav. With Woakes spilling a sitter, it went for a six.

Sunrisers captain Warner, who was adjudged the Man of the Match, described it as an outstanding performance and praised his bowlers for their effort.

"It was outstanding, we generally look to bat first and set the tone with a positive intent from ball one. We managed to maintain the run rate of 10 an over, which was amazing," Warner said.

"We (him and Dhawan) keep working around the strike and we've been gelling together over all. Credit to out bowlers: to Siraj, the way he's been learning and performing; Bhuvi is amazing.

Mariah Carey to headline Brighton Pride 2025: Iconic comeback set to break records

This summer, music legend Mariah Carey is set to light up the stage at Brighton Pride, marking her first UK performance since her 2019 Royal Albert Hall shows. Scheduled for August 2, 2025, at Preston Park, Carey’s highly anticipated appearance follows the cancellation of the 2020 event due to COVID-19. Known for her chart-topping hits like "Fantasy" and "Always Be My Baby," her performance is expected to draw massive crowds. Tickets go on sale February 20, and demand is expected to be high.

Paul Kemp, Brighton Pride’s Managing Director, shared his excitement, recalling the disappointment of 2020. “We’re thrilled to finally welcome Mariah this year,” Kemp said. “Pride is a celebration of love, diversity, and unity, and having a global icon like her headline makes this year’s event even more special.”

Are Kanye West and Bianca Censori breaking up after the viral Grammys stunt?

Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, and his wife, Bianca Censori, are once again at the centre of divorce rumours, this time following a series of controversies surrounding Ye. Reports suggest that the couple’s relationship has been strained due to Ye’s recent actions, including allegations of antisemitism and the backlash from selling swastika-themed merchandise.

Sources claim that Censori, 30, reached a breaking point, unwilling to be associated with Ye’s controversies any longer. The tension reportedly escalated after Censori’s near-nude appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, which drew widespread criticism. While Ye defended her bold outfit, calling her “smart, talented, brave, and hot,” the incident allegedly deepened the rift between them.
