Lakshya Sen endured a tough loss but Ayush Shetty and the doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty registered wins as 2022 champions India notched up a commanding 4-1 win over Canada in their opening Group A tie of the Thomas Cup Finals on Friday. However there was disappointment in store in the women’s section as India lost 2-3 to hosts Denmark in their opening Group A tie of the Uber Cup Finals. After Lakshya’s spirited effort ended in a 18-21, 21-19, 21-10 loss to world No. 13 Victor Lai, world No. 4 Satwik and Chirag levelled the tie with a dominant 21-10 21-11 win over Jonathan Bing Tsan Lai and Kevin Lee.

The 20-year-old Ayush, runner-up at the recent Asia Championships, then outwitted world No. 33 Brian Yang 21-13, 21-17 in 39 minutes to hand India a 2-1 lead.

The second doubles pair of Hariharan Amsakarunan and M R Arjun sealed the tie for India with a convincing 21-7 21-15 victory over Ty Alexander Lindeman and Nyl Yakura.

Kidambi Srikanth then outsmarted world No. 77 Joshua Nguyen 21-17 21-12 in the inconsequential fifth match as India wrapped up the match 4-1 to be placed second in the table behind China.

China, 11-time winners and defending champions, beat Australia 5-0.

The top two teams from each of the four groups will qualify for the quarter-finals.

“Really happy with the way we played today… although we were down 0-1, we’re happy that we could get a point for the team and make it 1-0.

“We don’t want to keep so many expectations, we just want to enjoy as much as possible. It’s a long tournament, we have three days break now. There are new people who have come in, they are young and everyone is in good spirit,” Satwik told reporters.

“We just want to have some good memories in 10 days because you don’t get time. It’s a team event, let’s have some fun. We taking one day at a time.” In Uber Cup, India lost 2-3 with hosts Denmark in their opening tie of Group A.

Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu put India ahead with a tough 21-13 18-21 21-17 win over Denmark’s world No 21 Line Christophersen.

World No. 3 Unnati Hooda then produced a late fightback and saved multiple match points before going down 12-21 23-25 against world No. 26 Line Hojmark Kjaersfeldt, who won a silver medal at the 2026 European Badminton Championships early this month.

Tanvi Sharma went down to Amalie Schulz 21-19, 16-21, 16-21 in a 54-minute contest after taking the opening game as India trailed 1-2.

In their must win rubber, the women’s doubles pair of Shruti Mishra and Priya Konjengbam missed two match points before losing the decider to Amalie Cecilie Kudsk and Mette Werge 17-21, 21-11, 21-23 in a one hour and 15-minute battle.

In the final, inconsequential rubber, Tanisha Crasto and PV registered a win after Alexandra Boje and Christine Busch conceded the match in the second game.

The Indian pair had taken the first game 21-19 and were trailing 14-17 when the Danish duo retired after 36 minutes of play.

Lakshya vs Lai

It turned into another energy-sapping contest, reminiscent of the All England semifinal, with Lakshya and Lai locked in long, draining rallies.

Lakshya dictated early with sharp net play and smashes, doing enough to take the opening game despite Lai closing in from 14-18.

Lai hit back after the change of ends, racing to 7-2 and unsettling the Indian with clever deception and changes of pace to lead 11-7.

A 45-shot rally sparked a brief comeback as Lakshya drew level at 12-12, but Lai held firm in the closing stages, edging a tight finish after 19-19 with a net winner and a composed duel.

The decider was one-sided as Lai surged to 4-1 and 10-3, carrying the momentum to 11-5 at the break. Lakshya struggled to keep up as the Canadian mixed precision with power to move to 16-8 before sealing the match when the Indian went long, avenging his Birmingham loss.

India next face Australia and China on Monday and Wednesday.

Sindhu vs Christophersen

Sindhu started slowly before cruising through the opening game but was pushed into a decider by Christophersen.

The Dane raised her intensity in the second, matching Sindhu stroke for stroke from 6-6 to 11-11 and edging ahead 16-15 before forcing the decider as errors crept into the Indian’s game.

Backed by chants from the Indian camp, Sindhu relied on her deception and angles to stay in the contest.

Christophersen mixed pace well early in the third to lead 4-3, but Sindhu responded with three quick points to go 9-8 up and held a narrow edge at the interval.

The Dane again moved ahead 15-12 but faltered with errors as Sindhu drew level at 15-15.

In a nervy finish, Sindhu held her composure, winning six of the last seven points to move 18-16 ahead before finishing with a body smash and a down-the-line winner to seal the match.

Rio Ferdinand moved his family to Dubai last summer after leaving England following his departure from TNT Sports over a decade after becoming a television pundit

Rio Ferdinand’s seven-bedroom Kent mansion is up on the market eight months after the former Manchester United player moved to Dubai.

Ferdinand, 47, is said to have paid around £2.7million for the property back in 2008, the year he won the Champions League and a third Premier League title. Approaching two decades on, its guide price is £10.5million.

Selling at that price would see Ferdinand make almost £8million in profit on a house the family no longer lives in. They – his wife, Kate, 34, and children Cree, five, Shae, two, and Tia, 14 – relocated from Orpington last summer.

The 12,500 sq ft property is in a gated enclave of Farnborough Park inside the M25, and its entire plot is around 1.5 acres. Despite the Mail stating that Ferdinand bought it in 2008, online listings state that Durtnells built it four years later, in 2012.

Inside is a gym and studio as well as an indoor pool complex. However, any new owner would need to reinstate the latter feature after Ferdinand went away from the original design.

He spoke about tax rises in the UK contributing to their move last year. Ferdinand even appeared on LBC to talk taxation.

Sky has upgraded its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle to now include HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, discovery+ and Hayu, as well as 135 channels and full Sky coverage of the Premier League and EFL.

Sky broadcasts more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more with at least 215 live from the top flight alongside Formula 1, darts and golf.

The pundit said: “If things like the health service, for example, were absolutely flying and working perfectly well, then I think people wouldn’t mind paying tax.

“But when there arethere’s things that are falling apart and going wrong in the country, then I sit there and go, ‘we pay towards tax, and is it really going towards the things that are actually benefiting the people that live here?’

“And that’s the big question that needs answering, I think a lot of us know the answer to that.” Ferdinand also spoke about the move being for their children.

He added: “In Dubai, it feels like they’re valued, and the lifestyle means that they’re happy and vibrant with good energy for the kids. Lifestyle, safety, weather – it’s just a new life.”

Kate said at the time: “A new chapter, a fresh start — because if we don’t try, we’ll never know. Ahhh!”

“We’ve talked about this for so long, and now it’s finally real… we’re here, we are making a new home in the place we met! Missing some of our specials already & a bit scared, excited & nervous — but more than anything, ready for fresh starts and new beginnings

Former Super Eagles defender Sam Sodje has shared his thoughts on the Nigeria Football Federation’s move to attract William Osula to represent the national team.

The Nigeria Football Federation has reportedly opened talks with the Denmark-born striker as part of efforts to strengthen the Super Eagles following recent setbacks.

Osula, 22, has represented Denmark U21 and Denmark U19, but he is yet to play for the senior side. This leaves him free to switch allegiance, with Nigeria hoping to convince him to commit ahead of upcoming fixtures, including the Unity Cup and friendly matches against Poland national football team and Portugal national football team in June.

Nigeria have already boosted their squad with the addition of Arthur Okonkwo, whose international switch from England was recently approved by FIFA.

Sodje backs move but calls for local development

Sodje, who was born abroad but chose to play for Nigeria during his career, believes the NFF are right to pursue Osula. However, he also stressed the importance of developing players within the domestic league.

“It’s always good to bring in top players if they are eligible to play for Nigeria,” Sodje said. “But at the same time, we must continue to build and support talents from our local league.

“He’s Nigerian, so I don’t see why he shouldn’t be invited. He will improve the team and give more strength in attack. It’s a good step, but we should also give home-based players the same opportunity.”

Osula’s rising profile

Osula is gradually establishing himself at Newcastle United under manager Eddie Howe. The forward has impressed this season and recently scored in a 2-1 victory over Manchester United.

Despite his progress at club level, the young striker is still eligible to play for multiple countries, including Nigeria, Denmark, France, and England.

Should he choose Nigeria, Osula could become a key figure in the team’s rebuilding process under head coach Eric Chelle. However, the final decision on his international future remains in his hands.

It is the end of an era in NASCAR.

The Athletic reported Friday that Jim France is stepping down as NASCAR’s CEO, and his replacement will be the first non-France family member to run the ship.

The outlet noted that France, who will remain NASCAR’s chairman, will be replaced by NASCAR resident Steve O’Donnell.

France’s father founded NASCAR in 1948, and it has grown into the most popular motorsport in the United States.

Ben Kennedy, France’s great-nephew, will also be promoted from executive vice president and chief venue and racing innovations officer to NASCAR’s chief operating officer.

All the changes are expected to be announced on Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway, where the Jack Link’s 500 will be run on Sunday.

LONGTIME NASCAR CREW CHIEF TELLS WILD STORY ABOUT ONE OF THE SPORT’S BIGGEST CHARACTERS

France took on both roles in August 2018, shortly after his nephew, Brian, stepped down.

France’s 54% ownership stake of NASCAR will remain unchanged. Kennedy’s mother owns the other 46%.

This is hardly the first seismic change for NASCAR this year. Steve Phelps announced in January he was stepping down as commissioner after two racing teams, including one owned by Michael Jordan, filing an antitrust lawsuit against the company.

The suit unearthed inflammatory text messages Phelps sent during contentious revenue-sharing negotiations. Jordan’s 23XI Racing and NASCAR settled their suit in December.

He was named NASCAR’s first commissioner last season after a courting process for the same role by the PGA Tour. The opportunity with the PGA was revealed during December testimony in the trial.

France, however, is reportedly insistent that the lawsuits had nothing to do with his decision to step down, and it has been a thought for a long while.

Night No. 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, as the Minnesota Vikings shocked the world by selecting Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks. Now, it’s time for Rounds 2 and 3 on Friday night, and VikingsTerritory‘s writers have recommendations.

The board still offers value. Minnesota needs the right fit.

We asked our staff to name one player the Vikings absolutely cannot leave Friday night without, and here’s how they replied.

Day 2 Brings Minnesota a Chance to Balance the Roster

Need Vikings-themed draft recommendations for Friday night? We got ’em.

1. Connor Lew | C, Auburn

Recommender: Henrique Gucciardi

I initially didn’t like the Banks pick, but I feel better about it after sleeping on it. If they are comfortable enough to pick Banks coming off an injury-riddled season, then selecting Lew at either 82 or 97, who, to me, is the best center in the Draft, coming off a torn ACL, is a likely scenario.

2. A.J. Haulcy | S, LSU

Recommender: Adam New

Haulcy lands the Vikings the true deep safety that they desperately need. Getting to 49 would be a great result.

3. Malachi Fields | WR, Notre Dame

Recommender: Brevan Bane

I have been pounding the table all offseason for the big-body WR out of Notre Dame, and the Vikings passed on Makai Lemon in the first round. Fields would give the Vikings a loaded WR room without the first-round investment some were scared of this year.

4. Sam Hecht | C, Kansas State

Recommender: Cole Smith

There are several positions the Vikings should address, but I’ll be shocked if they don’t end the night with a new center. I think Kansas State’s Sam Hecht is their preference, but Florida’s Jake Slaughter, Auburn’s Connor Lew, and Iowa’s Logan Jones are viable options as well in the third round. It’s Hecht for me.

5. Germie Bernard | WR, Alabama

Recommender: Sean Borman

Bernard has sure hands, can line up anywhere, and can get after it in the open field. Giving Kyler Murray 3 legit WR’s and Hockenson (and maybe a rookie TE) to target is a good way to ensure you’ll be able to move the ball consistently on offense. Not to mention the Jordan Addison insurance.

6. Treydan Stukes | DB, Arizona

Recommender: Josh Frey

The Vikings added a big-body to their DT room last night, but there’s still work to be done on the defensive side of the ball. Treyden Stukes can serve as the new free safety for the Vikings, and this is a team that is still trying to find a replacement for Camryn Bynum.

7. Jonah Coleman | RB, Washington
— or —
Jaishawn Barham | EDGE, Michigan

Recommender: Dustin Baker

The Vikings cannot delay the young running back predicament any longer — they need one. Jadarian Price would’ve been a sweet prize in Round 2, but the Seattle Seahawks ruined that.

Minnesota should draft Coleman in Round 3, either at pick No. 82 or 97. He’s the best pass-blocking tailback after Jeremiyah Love in this class, meaning when he morphs into the RB1, he won’t have to come off the field on 3rd Down.

If Coleman isn’t an option, the Vikings should draft Michigan EDGE Jaishawn Barham at No. 82. Andrew Van Ginkel will be a free agent in 2027; let’s plan for his possible off-ramp.

t8. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren | S, Toledo

Recommender: Tony Schultz

After last night’s surprise pick of Caleb Banks, the Vikings need to address the best player available and a position of need. He may be the third choice at the position, but let’s hope that McNeil-Warren is still on the board.

Taking him will patch a lot of the hurt that fans think they have endured for not following everyone’s mock drafts. He can make it to 49 because the path is pretty clear, with the number of good corners available and the team’s needs ahead of him. If they can add Sam Hecht and Emmett Johnson, that’s just icing on the cake.

t8. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren | S, Toledo

Recommender: Janik Eckardt

Everyone sent safety Dillon Thieneman to the State of 10,000 Lakes in mock draft season, but the Vikings went in a different direction. Some, however, thought Toledo’s McNeil-Warren would be an even better fit. Safety remains a need for Minnesota, and McNeil-Warren is one of the top players on the board. It remains to be seen if he’s falling to 49; it might be time to call some other front offices to move up a little.

t10. De’Zhaun Stribling | WR, Mississippi

Reccomender: Kyle Joudry

Size, speed, and blocking. Looks like a very good option to compete at WR3.

t10. De’Zhaun Stribling | WR, Mississippi

Reccomender: Wes Johnson

The Vikings need to come away with some combination of the following at the end of day 2 (WR, C, and S). Luckily, many players fit that bill. The Vikings have flirted with later-round WRs over the past few years, but let’s face it, historically, WRs taken after pick 60 are rarely anything more than serviceable.

The Vikings need impact after losing Jalen Nailor to the Raiders this offseason. Enter Top 30 prospect Stribling from Ole Miss. Stribling has been a late draft riser, and many view him as a plug-and-play pro. He’d be a can’t-miss selection in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Was it Dillon Thieneman? How about Kenyon Sadiq? Nope — the Minnesota Vikings swerved in Round 1 on Thursday night, drafting Caleb Banks, a defensive tackle from Florida, who, heading into the draft, possessed 2nd-Round stock, according to pundits. Fans will warm up to the pick in time, but for now, one clear loser emerged from Round 1: existing Vikings DT Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins.

The depth chart changed, and one young defender now has a tougher, perhaps obsolete, path.

Ingram-Dawkins had a very tentative grasp on a starting job, but if Banks is ready by September, Ingram-Dawkins will remain a depth DT.

Minnesota’s iDL Situation Got Crowded Fast

Can’t win ’em all.

The Banks Pick and Fallout

Minnesota needed a defensive tackle; it hadn’t drafted one in Rounds 1, 2, or 3 since 2013, when Sharrif Floyd — also from the University of Florida — joined the purple team.

ESPN’s Kevin Seifert wrote, “The Minnesota Vikings made one of the boldest and riskiest selections Thursday in the first round of the NFL draft, choosing Florida defensive lineman Caleb Banks at No. 18. Banks has twice broken his left foot in the past year, costing him most of the 2025 season at Florida and requiring surgery after the NFL scouting combine in March.”

“He sent a letter to NFL teams last week that identified the injury as a broken fourth metatarsal bone and projected he would be ready to resume football activities in June. He was healthy enough to participate in the Senior Bowl but rebroke the foot at the combine in what Banks called ‘a freak accident.’ Banks said he was practicing his drill starts the night before his on-field workouts and felt a pop.”

Banks now has a singular mission: make plays on Sundays, remain healthy, and completely erase the memory of fan-driven draft-night drama. In a couple of years, it won’t matter whether Minnesota selected him at No. 18 or No. 49, as long as he develops into a cornerstone of Brian Flores’ defense.

His path to being a 1st-Round pick was far from straightforward. As recently as December and January, most draft analysts projected Banks as a 1st-Rounder. They just did. He solidified this reputation at the Senior Bowl, and consistent mock drafts placed him in the latter half of Round 1. At that point, his stock appeared stable.

However, the NFL Combine brought an unexpected setback. Banks fractured a bone in his foot, an injury that immediately pushed him into 2nd-Round projections. That’s what happens with pre-draft injuries. From there, his draft stock continued to slide. Each passing week brought increased scrutiny and questions, particularly given his history of injuries and this new foot problem.

Consequently, with his draft stock continuing to slide, he became a popular target for the Vikings at Pick No. 49 — a position that, only recently, had emerged as an ideal landing spot.

Ultimately, Minnesota chose not to wait and selected him in the 1st Round instead. The Vikings reached per pundits’ draft standards.

Ingram-Dawkins Takes a Backseat

Did Vikings fans expect Ingram-Dawkins to start in Week 1 of 2026? Not really. However, with all the mock-draft steam that singularly focused on the aforementioned Thieneman, a safety from Oregon, as the Vikings’ 1st-Round pick, one had to wonder if Ingram-Dawkins had impressed coaches behind the scenes. While that’s still possible, it was not enough to avoid the Banks pick. And yes, so long as Banks’s foot is good to go, he will start sooner rather than later. He’s already 23.

Ingram-Dawkins had to think there was an outside chance that he would be tapped on the shoulder to start next to Jalen Redmond this autumn. That outlook plunged and then some on Night No. 1 of the draft. As of Friday morning, Ingram-Dawkins looks like “just another 5th-Round pick.”

The Skinny on TID

Former general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah picked Ingram-Dawkins late in the draft last year, and he played about 250 defensive snaps as a rookie — significant playing time for a late-round defensive tackle. His knack for batting passes, evident from his Georgia tape, showed up right away.

The Vikings’ initial offseason moves have been particularly beneficial for him. With players such as Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargave moving on in free agency, the depth chart opened up. Had the 2025 season started in early April, Ingram-Dawkins likely would have been in the starting lineup.

Ingram-Dawkins will likely make the active roster late in August, but fans must revise his standing on the team.

Possible Next Losers?

Ingram-Dawkins may not be the only “loser” on the Vikings’ roster. Minnesota has eight picks remaining, with three more before the end of Round 4.

These players could reasonably be demoted if general manager Rob Brzezinski selects a player from their position:

• Blake Brandel (center)
• Tai Felton (wide receiver)
• Theo Jackson (safety)
• James Pierre (cornerback)
• Jay Ward (safety)

Pierre might be a reach to call him a “loser,” but if the Vikings draft Jermod McCoy, for example, McCoy will swoop in for a CB3 job before too long.

Minnesota is expected to draft a center on Friday night, making Brandel the top candidate for post-draft “loser” status.
