New Delhi, May 27
Sonnet Club scored a crushing eight-wicket victory against HDFC Bank in the seventh Lala Hari Ram Aggarwal Memorial Day-Night Cricket Carnival at the Karnail Singh Stadium.

Chandhok dominates at Silverstone
Our Sports Reporter

New Delhi, May 27
Indian Formula 3 star Karun Chandhok completed a clean sweep at the Silverstone Grand Prix when he emerged victorious in round 10 of the championship.

This followed his two pole positions and win in round 9 of the championship.

The 19-year-old was all fired up after a totally dominant performance through the weekend.

At the start, he fought off an aggressive Ernesto Viso but by the time the cars came past the pits for the first time, Chandhok had pulled out three or four car lengths over the Venezuelan driver.

Karun then struggled a little bit, due to a vibration from the front end of the car.

Chandhok recorded his fourth race win for the season, completing his perfect set of two pole positions and two race victories for the weekend. Karun was happy with his week end’s work. Chandhok, supported by J K Tyre, next races on June 22, giving him a well-deserved break back in India.
