France star Kylian Mbappe returned to training with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday after scoring a hat-trick in the World Cup finals as the team were forced to lose. 3 days after the end of the World Cup, PSG joined the team for training.

However, despite PSG players being given 10 days off, Mbappe was pictured at the French champions’ training ground.

“Kylian Mbappe returned to training on Wednesday,” PSG tweeted.

Mbappe, who finished the World Cup as the World Cup’s top scorer with eight goals, is not expected back until January and PSG has yet to announce whether he will be available for their Ligue 1 match with Strasbourg on December 28.

Kylian Mbappe ලෝක කුසලානයෙන් පසු PSG සමග පුහුණුවීම් අරභයි. 

ප්‍රංශ තරුවක් වන Kylian Mbappe බදාදා පැරිස් සෙන්ට් ජර්මේන් සමඟ නැවත පුහුණුවීම්වලට පැමිණියේ ලෝක කුසලාන අවසන් මහා තරඟයේදී ගෝල ත්‍රිත්වයක් ලබා තිබියදීත් කණ්ඩායමට පරාජයට පත් වීමට සිදු වීමට සිදු විය. ලෝක කුසලාන තරගාවලිය අවසාන වී දින 3ක් යන්නටත් මත්තෙන් PSG කණ්ඩායම හා පුහුණුවීම් හා එක්ව තිබේ. 

කෙසේ වෙතත්, PSG ක්‍රීඩකයින්ට දින 10 ක නිවාඩුවක් ලබා දී ඇතත්, Mbappe ප්‍රංශ ශූරයන්ගේ පුහුණු පිටියේදී ඡායාරූප පෙනී සිටියහ. 

“Kylian Mbappe බදාදා නැවත පුහුණුවීම්වලට ආවා,” PSG ට්වීට් සටහනක් තබමින් ප්‍රකාශ කරනු ලැබීය.

ගෝල අටක් සමඟ ලෝක කුසලානයේ ඉහළම ගෝල ලාභියා ලෙස ලෝක කුසලානය අවසන් කළ Mbappe, ජනවාරි වන තෙක් නැවත අපේක්ෂා නොකළ අතර දෙසැම්බර් 28 වන දින Strasbourg සමඟ එහි Ligue 1 තරඟය සඳහා ඔහු තෝරා ගැනීමට තිබේදැයි PSG තවමත් ප්‍රකාශට පත් කර නොමැත.

உலகக் கோப்பைக்குப் பிறகு Kylian Mbappe PSGயில் பயிற்சியைத் தொடங்கினார்.

உலகக் கோப்பை இறுதிப் போட்டியில் ஹாட்ரிக் அடித்த பின்னர், அணி தோற்க வேண்டிய கட்டாயத்தில் இருந்ததால், பிரான்ஸ் நட்சத்திரம் கைலியன் எம்பாப்பே புதன்கிழமை பாரிஸ் செயின்ட் ஜெர்மைனுடன் பயிற்சிக்குத் திரும்பினார். உலகக் கோப்பை முடிந்து 3 நாட்களுக்குப் பிறகு, PSG அணியில் பயிற்சியில் சேர்ந்தார்.

இருப்பினும், PSG வீரர்களுக்கு 10 நாட்கள் விடுமுறை அளிக்கப்பட்ட போதிலும், Mbappe பிரெஞ்சு சாம்பியன்களின் பயிற்சி மைதானத்தில் படம்பிடிக்கப்பட்டார்.

“கைலியன் எம்பாப்பே புதன்கிழமை பயிற்சிக்குத் திரும்பினார்” என்று PSG ட்வீட் செய்தது.

உலகக் கோப்பையில் எட்டு கோல்களுடன் உலகக் கோப்பையில் அதிக கோல் அடித்த எம்பாப்பே, ஜனவரி வரை எதிர்பார்க்கப்படமாட்டார், மேலும் டிசம்பர் 28 அன்று ஸ்ட்ராஸ்பேர்க்குடனான லீக் 1 போட்டிக்கு அவர் இருப்பாரா என்பதை PSG இன்னும் அறிவிக்கவில்லை.

Kusal Mendis Falls Short in High-Stakes IPL Eliminator Clash

Published

Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis failed to rise to the occasion during a crucial IPL 2025 Eliminator as Gujarat Titans fell short in their chase against Mumbai Indians at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in New Chandigarh.

Chasing a steep target of 229, Gujarat Titans needed early momentum. While opener Sai Sudharsan led the charge with a composed 80 off 49 deliveries, Kusal Mendis—expected to play a key supporting role—could not live up to expectations on this competitive stage.

Mendis, who had the platform to make an impact, started aggressively with two sixes in his 10-ball 20 but threw away his wicket in an uncharacteristic manner—getting out hit wicket to Mitchell Santner. In a high-pressure match where composure was vital, Mendis’s dismissal was a major setback for GT, stalling their momentum during a promising phase of the innings.

This was an opportunity for Mendis to demonstrate consistency and reliability at the highest level of franchise cricket, especially with the eyes of selectors and fans fixed on performances under pressure. However, the lack of game awareness and a reckless approach led to a soft exit at a crucial moment.

GT eventually managed 208/6, falling short by 20 runs. With Mendis’s early exit, the middle order was left exposed to the mounting run rate, and despite brief resistance from Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia, the chase fizzled out.

While Mendis has shown flashes of brilliance in previous matches, this performance serves as a reminder of the demands of knockout-stage cricket. With playoffs being the toughest test of mental and technical strength, Sri Lanka’s white-ball star must tighten his game to deliver when it matters most.

Nuwan Thushara Shines as RCB Storms into IPL 2025 Final

Published

By

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) booked their place in the grand finale of IPL 2025 with an emphatic 8-wicket victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 2, chasing down 102 runs in just 10 overs. The match, held in Ahmedabad, saw RCB continue their dominant form in the playoffs, with Sri Lanka’s very own Nuwan Thushara making his presence felt on the biggest T20 franchise stage.

Thushara, who has been a consistent figure in RCB’s bowling attack, picked up a crucial wicket in the Qualifier 1 against Lucknow Super Giants and has steadily built a reputation as a reliable powerplay bowler. His unique slingy action and accuracy have made him a fan favourite in Bengaluru and among Sri Lankan cricket fans. Although he took just 1 wicket in the latest game, his economical spells have contributed significantly to RCB’s campaign.

RCB’s victory against PBKS came on the back of a brilliant bowling effort, bundling Punjab out for a mere 101. RCB’s top order made light work of the target, finishing the chase with 60 balls to spare – the most dominant playoff win in IPL history in terms of balls remaining.

Sri Lanka’s IPL participation this year has been headlined by Nuwan Thushara, whose breakthrough season is setting the tone for more Lankan stars to shine in the league. His performance is also a testament to the growing impact of Sri Lankan pace bowlers in franchise cricket worldwide.

RCB will now face either Gujarat Titans or Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 Final on June 3rd at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Thushara is expected to play a key role as RCB aims to secure their maiden IPL title.

As the cricketing world gears up for a blockbuster final, Sri Lankan fans will be cheering on Thushara, hoping he brings IPL glory back to Bengaluru – and pride to Sri Lanka.
