Cricket
2025 Indian Premier League
There was a short interruption in regular programming due to certain… military reasons.
Well, we soon got underway with an updated schedule and put RCB into the finals, one win away from destroying a huge portion of cricket's meme culture.
Sri Lanka W ODI Tri-Series
India lost only one match in the league stage, its match with Sri Lanka in the second round-robin stage. South Africa managed to take only one win, coming against Sri Lanka in the second half of the league stage as well. India took a comfortable win in the final against Sri Lanka.

Despite most of England's top players away at the IPL, they took a commanding innings win over Zimbabwe.

Close matches, with UAE edging Bangladesh out 2-1.
West Indies M Tour of Ireland, 1st-3rd ODIs
A very well balanced 1-1, with the second match being washed out.
West Indies W Tour of England, 1st-3rd T20Is, 1st ODI

Formula 1
Miami Grand Prix
The Sprint started in wet conditions, and Leclerc crashed out during the reconnaissance laps. The delayed Sprint saw a crossover to slicks midway through, and many drivers benefitted from this. Piastri was leading most of the race, but a late safety car let Norris get a cheap pit stop, with the safety car coming in on the last lap. The race might have been red flagged, giving us a battle to the checquered flag, had other events not been scheduled after the Sprint. Verstappen received a 10-second penalty for an unsafe release which dropped him to the last of the classified runners.
Norris started the Grand Prix in pole position, but lost the place to Verstappen in turn 1. The ensuing battle forced Norris off-track and he dropped to 6th. Piastri overtook Verstappen for the lead, seemingly predicting that Verstappen would attempt to defend his position by running Piastri off-track and going for a switchback move instead. Norris eventually managed to get back into second place.
Colapinto replaces Doohan
Franco Colapinto had a wonderful half-season at Williams last year, and was signed to Alpine's reserve driver programme for 5 years over the winter break. 6 races into the season, Colapinto replaced Doohan at Alpine, with the leadership saying he will be on a 5-race evaluation.
Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
Verstappen pulled of an insane move on Piastri at the race start, almost feeling like he had one of those extra-grip mods from the F1 games. From the lead, he controlled the race, taking a cheap pitstop under VSC, and winning.
Monaco Grand Prix
A 2-stop was mandated for this race, but it did nothing for the action. Many drivers managed to slow down the cars behind them to give their teammate a cheap pitstop, and then get the favour returned for them.
Formula E
Monaco E-Prix
Race 1
Rowland managed to hunt down the lead during the final stages of the race and won, making it 3 wins out of 6 races for him.
Race 2
Buemi won for the first time in 6 years, taking advantage of the confusion following Rowland's overeager move on Vergne.
Tokyo E-Prix
Race 1
Vandoorne ended another win drought for a former champion, this time going back 3 years. They team aimed to get their SOC to the Pit Boost window quick and take an early stop, hoping for an interruption in the latter stages of the race. A masterstroke of a gamble.
Race 2
Rowland took yet another win in one of the most dominant seasons Formula E has seen.
