It’s been quite the week in sport. The Indian women’s hockey team kicked things off by winning the FIH Nations Cup, beating New Zealand 2-0 in the final and securing a return to the FIH Pro League.


Meanwhile, in football, Lionel Messi added yet another record to a career already overflowing with them. The Argentine star became the highest goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history, surpassing Miroslav Klose and proving that, somehow, there are still milestones left for him to conquer.


But while Messi continues to make history, another player is having a major moment. Erling Haaland has scored four goals in two World Cup games so far and seems to be winning over fans just as quickly. Between the fan edits, TikToks, interviews with everyone from Jisoo to Channing Tatum, and endless discussion about his flowing locks, Haaland is fast becoming football’s newest internet favourite.


And finally, Wimbledon is bringing one of its most beloved traditions a little closer to home. Ahead of this year’s Championships, the All England Club has partnered with Delhi’s Kuremal Kulfi to launch a limited-edition Strawberries and Cream kulfi inspired by the tournament’s iconic dessert. If a trip to Centre Court isn’t on the cards this summer, this might be the next best thing.
