MADRID: Spanish football giant
Real Madrids Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo is leading the race for the European
Golden Shoe with 27 goals.
The award is presented each
season to the leading goal
scorer in league matches from
the top division of every European national league, reports
Efe.
Ronaldo increased his credit
after the four goals he scored
against Celta Vigo on Saturday
during a La Liga game that Madrid won 7-1. IANS

PERCENTAGE GAME: Rest of India's Karun Nair combined patience with judicious shot selection to top
IRANI CUP
er big off-break, and his captain
and wicketkeeper Aditya Tare
effected a fine leg-side stumping.
Mumbai then countered an
unlikely tough customer in Saurashtra left-arm seamer Jaydev
Unadkat for nearly two hours.
The second new ball, claimed
in the 87th over, eventually did
the trick as Abhishek induced a
nick that landed safely into the
big hands of Suryakumar Yadav
at second slip. Karun and Unadkat added 91 runs for the eighth
wicket.
An ailing Ankit Rajpoot did
not bat and Rests first innings
folded up at the fall of Karun a
few minutes before the conclusion of play.
In the last five minutes, the
AMOL KARHADKAR
home teams left-handed opener Akhil Herwadkar was flummoxed by a delivery from offspinner Jayant Yadav that hastened off the pitch and found its
way to hit the stumps.
The match has, perhaps, lost
relevance in terms of a contest,
with Mumbai up by 299 runs
with nine wickets in hand.

SHOOTING
Nagpur to host
three Kings XI
games
MUMBAI: Nagpur has been con-
firmed as the second home venue for Kings XI Punjab for the
ninth edition of the Indian Premier League, to be played from
April 9 to May 29.
The Hindu understands that
the Vidarbha Cricket Associations Stadium in Jamtha, on
the outskirts of the Orange
City, will host three of Kings
XIs seven home games during
the 2016 edition. The decision
has been communicated to the
Kings XI Punjab officials, who
had requested the switch.
Meanwhile, the newlylaunched Rajkot franchise, Gujarat Lions, is likely to play two
or three of its home games at
the Holkar Stadium in Indore.
The decision is likely to be finalised in a week.
Nagpur will thus host IPL
games after six years. In 2010,
the city had hosted three home
games of Deccan Chargers, the
erstwhile Hyderabad franchise.
