Barcelona will become the first sports team to generate revenue exceeding one billion Euros, as they expect an income of 1.047 billion Euros for the 2019/20 campaign. BARCELONA - Barcelona will become the first sporting club to earn more than a billion Euros ($ 1.10 billion) in revenue this season, the club stated on Tuesday. The clubs statement on Thursday said they had achieved record sales of 990 million Euros last season and expecting an increase of 1,047 million Euros for the 2019/20 campaign. "This figure represents a new record in the sporting world and means exceeding internal expectations as the strategic plan approved by the board expects profits to reach 1 billion Euros in 2021," he added. The club, owned by their fans, predicted a relatively modest profit after tax of 11 million Euros this season and said it owed 217.2 million Euros. The Catalan club invested 255 million Euros for the players in the closing season, most of which was spent prising Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid for 120 million Euros and recruiting Frenkie de Jong from Ajax Amsterdam for 75 million Euros. Barcelona chief executive Oscar Grau said they also tried to sign Dutch defender Matisse de Ligt, who joined Juventus, adding that they wanted to sign Neymar back from Paris St Germain, but they did not want to compromise the club's financial stability. "We worked hard to get Neymar and we did everything possible," he told reporters. "We made two offers, one including players and the other without them, but we felt Paris St Germain didnt want to sell him." "We won't lose control when it comes to players. We want the best team, but we also want to be sustainable." Bara's accounts also revealed that they expected to spend 1.007 million Euros this season, an increase of 34 million Euros, but said they would cut their salary bill by 18 million compared to last season, a 3% reduction.

Kolkata: India's fast bowlers have a rare moment in the sun after uniting to dismantle Bangladesh in the first day and night test on Indian soil.Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, and Mohammed Shami led 19 of the Bangladeshi wickets to fall in Kolkata, which is rare in the subcontinent areas where spinners are ruling the field.The 17 wickets world record taken by pacemakers in a home test in 2017 against Sri Lanka, as well as in the gardens of Eden in Kolkata, was exceeded.In the first Pink Ball test for both sides, India beat Bangladesh by an innings and 46 races in just over two days to sweep the series."It has always been in the cards that pacers in India make the decision, but Bangladesh should be disappointed by the lack of implementation and the struggle of its batsmen," the former Indian batsman VVS Laxman wrote in The Times of India on Monday.Skipper Virat Kohli has been all praise for his pacers and said workload management was the key to keeping them in top shape."They have gained more experience, and now they are playing well," Kohli told reporters after India won the unilateral victory on Sunday."They are responsible for their own preparation, their physical shape and communication.We want you to be fresh for test cricket, and don't worry about anything else."They also feel confident that if they don't play, we have players in reserve to come and do the job if needed. So the strength of the bench helps us a lot too."The three-day run continued despite the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, a Yorker specialist who is recovering from a fractured back.Shami and Yadav took 24 wickets between them in India's 3-0 test in South Africa last month.The spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja threw a total of only seven overs against Bangladesh, who fell for 106 and 195."It often doesn't happen in India when the spinners barely turn their arms in the test match," Indian fast bowler Irfan Pathan wrote on Twitter.However, the real test of Indian team will come in January and February, when India plays two tests in New Zealand, a friendly sailor.Read More: IPL 2020 Auction: Players who could be released by franchises CSK, RR, RCB, MI, and others

India and West Indies will aim to come out with the final punch and outclass each other when they battle it out in the series decider at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.With the series closed in 1-1, the Indian hosts will face the West Indies two-times World Champion in the virtual final match at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Hosts will search for eight wins in a row over the West Indies in all their forms after the second T20I loss.The West Indies recovered to put the series on par with a comfortable victory over India in the second T20I in Thiruvananthapuram after Virat Kohli helped the hosts dominate the opening of the series in Hyderabad. Visitors did well to keep the hosts to a manageable total of 170 after winning the toss and decided to bowl first. Lendl Simmons and Evin Lewis achieved a healthy opening of 73 runs before both Shimron Hetmyer and Nicholas Pooran led the West Indies to a convincing victory in the end.The Indian fielding was well below average at the first T20I. Dropping catches and many misfields led to say that if performance doesn't improve, the result won't be enough. The hosts are also good chasers, but they have to learn to defend goals.The vice-captain of India, Rohit Sharma, said the hosts did not trust the "very unpredictable" side of the West Indies which was well led by his fellow Indian team mate from Mumbai Indians, Kieron Pollard."They are unpredictable as a team. You never know what can happen on a particular day. Even in the first game, they played very well. It was Virat's brilliance that led us to the goal. With the West Indies, this always expected, said Rohit SharmaOn the other hand, the West Indies will imagine their chances of closing the series after their amazing return. For visitors, Wankhede brings good memories of the ICC 2016 World Cup semi-finals when Windies beat India and won the title.West Indies coach Phil Simmons said the team would rely heavily on Captain Kieron Pollard at the third T20 International Championship to decide the series against India, because his understanding of the field due to IPL exposure would be "invaluable" for bowlers."Kieron Pollard has played a lot at this place, while others haven't played much," Simmons said. "I think the experience they got from here is invaluable especially to Captain (Pollard), because he's been here for 10 years" at pre-match press conference.Here are the squads of both the teams:India: Virat Kohli (captain), Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Sanju Samson.West Indies: Kieron Pollard (captain), Fabian Allen, Brandon King, Denesh Ramdin, Sheldon Cottrell, Evin Lewis, Sherfane Rutherford, Shimron Hetmyer, Khary Pierre, Lendl Simmons, Jason Holder, Hayden Walsh Jr, Keemo Paul, Kesrick Williams.HIGHLIGHTSWith the series locked at 1-1, hosts India take on two-time world champions West Indies in the virtual finalWest Indies bounced back to bring the series to parity with a comfortable victory over India in the second T20IIndia will be eyeing eight successive series win over West Indies across formatsRead More: India's squad for West Indies series: Rohit Sharma's workload, out-of-form Shikhar Dhawan in focus

On Friday, the International Hockey Federation (FIH) introduced a new world ranking system for 2020, which will act as a match-based account instead of tournaments for a "better reflection of current performances".The new system will be in effect from January 1 next year. FIH said the new world ranking system was launched after 12 months of comprehensive research, analysis, and testing.The FIH rankings have been in place since 2003 and were originally designed to assign teams to different groups. The old model allowed countries to earn rating points two or three times a year.The FIH cited "numerous restrictions" for the championship-based system for change.This includes limited opportunities for the lower-ranked teams to earn points and the "subjectivity" required to determine the strengths of the five continents to calculate continental rating points. The fact that more than 60 percent of international hockey games have not made any qualifying points has made an increasingly strong case for changing focus," said the federation said in a statement.The match-based world ranking system includes the exchange of points between two teams competing in every match permitted by FIH.The number of points exchanged depends on three factors: the outcome of the match, the relative classification of teams and the importance of the match.FIH said that the new model eliminates much of the subjectivity surrounding continental weighting by creating a fair system for all.The decision to introduce a new global ranking system was taken after a one-year trial period.“By using all the official international matches that have been played since the end of the Rio 2016 Olympics, a working model for the new system has been created, which allows continuous monitoring, evaluation and adjustment throughout 2019."The results of the testing phase indicate that the new system was more dynamic and immediately reflected the current form of the current global ranking system and was subsequently approved by the FIH Executive Board," said the world body.The implementation of the new system for calculating the global FIH rankings will not affect existing placements: each country will start in 2020 in the same arrangement and with the same number of ranking points that ended in 2019.Commenting on the decision, FIH Development and Sports Director John Wyatt said, "As a sport, we are constantly striving to innovate and provide opportunities for our member countries."As with any launch of a new system and introduction of changes, it will take some time for everyone to amend, and we will constantly monitor the rating to ensure that it is accurate and fair to everyone.Read More: Test Events for Hockey (Sr. Men) in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo

In ODIs, India had previously suffered a 10-wicket defeat to New Zealand (1981), West Indies (1997), South Africa (2000) and South Africa (2005). With the loss, India also conceded a 0-1 lead to Australia in the three-match series. However, the hosts will have a chance to bounce back in second ODI in Rajkot.In the series opener, Australia captain Aaron Finch and David Warner hit brilliant centuries to forge the highest Australian partnership against India as they chased down 256 runs with 12.2 overs to spare.Asked to bat, India made a slow start to their innings and lost Rohit Sharma early. Virat Kohli's idea to step down the order also did not pay off as he was dismissed for 16 runs by Adam Zampa. At a moment, India did not look like crossing the 250-run mark, but some resilience on top of the order by Shikhar Dhawan (74) and important cameos by Rishabh Pant (28) and Ravindra Jadeja (25), saw them put up 255 runs on board.In the second ODI, Virat Kohli might alter the playing XI, in search of a series-saving victory.Read More: Australia tour of India, 2020 schedule, team player,live scores

HAMILTON: India is expected to achieve its first victory in the T20 International Series in New Zealand, and only a special return for hosts with difficulties in the third match here on Wednesday will delay what appears to be inevitable.India won the T20 Internationals in Auckland by six and seven texts margins, to beat 2-0.The third successive win in Seddon Park would give them their first victory of the T20I series on New Zealand soil, an achievement they had not achieved twice before. India lost 0-2 under Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 2008-09, and last year, India lost 1-2.Overall, this Indian team has seen an increase in luck and has not been defeated in the five T20 series since the ODI 2019 World Cup, including the current team against Black Caps. The only competition they didn't win was against South Africa when the three-game series ended in a 1-1 draw after a match was canceled.However, their current win from T20I will not make any major change to the ICC ranking. Currently, India is ranked fifth in the T20I ranking and needs to win the remaining three games, this series 5-0, to advance to fourth from the current fifth.New Zealand is currently in sixth place. Pakistan, Australia, England and South Africa are ranked high on the leaderboard.The biggest concern at the moment is the progress towards the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia later this year. However, in this context, the team's management is sure of the calm that several parts of the puzzle are starting to fit in, at the right time.This is mainly due to the performance of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer in recent months, especially on the tour so far.As such, no changes are expected in the Indian T20 team. On Tuesday, there was an optional training session with Captain Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah, who were missing the action in the past games.The support team worked closely with these players who have not yet had a chance to play in the series. Ravi Shastri pays much attention to the Washington Sunder, while batting trainer Vikram Rathour was extremely busy with Rishabh Pant. Both are expected to rest again on Wednesday.There is a possibility of a change in the Indian composition. Kuldeep Yadav was out of the first two games in Auckland.Chahal provides more control and moves his spin away from most of the right-handed batsmen in the black caps team and, therefore, against the swing arch.Yadav is more adventurous on his journey, and the angle of his spin could have been easy fodder within the short borders of Eden Park.It remains to be seen if Kuldeep Yadav returns to competition in Seddon Park. In addition, there is little chance that Chahal, Yadav will play together, a move that India has avoided since the ODI World Cup.From New Zealand's point of view, this is the last chance for Colin de Grandhomme to make a good impression. The all-rounder on the team will be replaced in the last T20I by Tom Bruce.Grandhomme has played as a striker so far in the series, and he has 0 and 3 scores in the first two games.New Zealand is not very concerned about its bowling performance in this series, despite India's relative ease of chasing totals in the first two games. Its main concern is the rivalry with Indian bowling, especially Jasprit Bumrah, who has regained much of his pace.In both games, they could not take him, either at the beginning or during the death overs. For its part, India mixed well with things in the second T20, keeping Jasprit Bumrah until later in the power play.New Zealand performed poorly in Eden Park late, but it's record in Seddon Park is steady. They have won seven of the nine T20I games that they played here, and hope to prevent India from taking advantage of this game indisputably.Teams IND VS NZIndia: Virat Kohli (Capt.), Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul (wk), Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini, Washington Sundar.New Zealand: Kane Williamson (Capt.), Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, Scott Kuggeleijn, Colin Munro, Colin de Grandhomme, Tom Bruce, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Tim Seifert (wk), Hamish Bennett, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Blair Tickner.

A total cancellation will see the BCCI lose in excess of Rs 2,000 crore in revenue, while each franchise will lose more than Rs 100 crore and compensation is not an option.The current COVID-19 pandemic could see the cancellation of IPL 2020. It is known that while the franchise is preparing for the worst, Canada's top Chamber of Commerce and Industry officials do not seem very optimistic. On Tuesday, IPL franchises were to be held over the phone to discuss future workflows. But it is unlikely to happen now, you know."Given the current situation, I feel this year's IPL may not happen. That's what it looks like," a franchise official told Indian Indian.Total cancellation will cause BCCI to lose more than Rs. 2 crore in revenue, while each franchise will lose more than Rs. 100 crores. Compensation is not an optionPrivileges cannot get any compensation. (In case of cancellation) The money will not go to anyone. "Compensation is out of the question," the official said.The CEO of the franchise agreed and stated that there could be no contingency plan in the event of cancellation.Meanwhile, the room is not even thinking about IPL right now. “Nobody knows about the future. We don’t know when the travel restrictions/visa restrictions (until April 15 until now) will be applied, when things will be settled. A senior British Chamber of Commerce and Industry official told this newspaper” Until then, there is no point (thinking In IPL). "And even if it is established here but it continues in another country ... this is also not clear to us. Japan, the host of the Olympic Games, is talking about a possible delay. This (outbreak) is much greater than any sport or IPL. "Even for truncated IPL, the tournament should start in late April or early May as it cannot extend beyond the first week of June. In 2009, when the IPL was held in South Africa, 59 games were played in 37 days.Unlike the Premier League, for example, IPL does not have the option to wait indefinitely. The Premier League is considering resuming the season in June, but the Indian League T20 cannot exceed the first week of June as there is no other window.The Chamber of Commerce and Industry official did not show much confidence in the IPL contract in September at the expense of the Asia Cup.Even if the British Chamber of Commerce and Industry pressures it, given that the Pakistan Cricket Council (PCB) will host the Asian Cup this year, its suspension may not work, given the prickly relationship between the two chambers."Now, you cannot start thinking about anything.

It becomes more difficult for the Olympics.However, the NRAI almost finished the best possible team for the Tokyo Games two weeks ago. But before the chosen names were sealed, the Tokyo Games were postponed for a year.The shooting was the best medal bet in India over the last four Olympic Games. Last year was an exceptional game for Indian shooters, with three shooters ranked first in the world. India also impressed with its victory in 15 places for Tokyo, its best moments. With 21 golds, six silvers and three bronzes, India ranked first in archery in the ISSF ranking last year. For most holders of other Olympic sports, delaying means another year of training. For shooters, who earn the quota place for the country and not for themselves, an additional 365 days of uncertainty, insecurity and possibly excessive training.NRAI will have a hand in hand. They have to choose the perfect team for the 2021 games without compromising the safety of the archers.The federation can have two options: go ahead and announce the team based on the tests taken over the past 15 months, or continue testing for another year and wait to find the best archers right before the games.NRAI has not yet shared her plan with archers. Repeated attempts to obtain the views of the President of the Federation on the subject were futile.Whatever the NRAI option, it will not be the same.If they decide to go ahead with the first scenario, which is to select the team based on previous tests, they will have no control if the shooters run out of shape before the actual games.If they continue to test for another year, this means 27 months of continuous testing and the possibility of archers burning.Apurvi Chandela, who won the stakes in 2018, said he would keep shooters on hold by not announcing that the team would put too much pressure on them. "I feel that if the team is announced now, shooters can focus on the Olympic Games and train with only positive pressure," Apurvi told TOI."I agree that the current model is important, and to ensure that the chosen shooters are in good condition before the games, the federation can check the archers' performance, for example in December or January, if they do not find that." The performance of the archers is satisfactory, you can replace it with the following lead-in Arrangement. They will have time. "Abhishek Verma, who got the stake in the 10-meter pistol, also echoed, thinking about Apurvi. "In the past two years, prospects have won medals at most major events. There is nothing else they can prove next year," said Verma.Gagan Narang, former world bronze medalist and former London games, while supporting Apurvi and Abhishek reviews, feels that well-chosen archers should be watched and a set of reserve archers should be ready. "The main challenge is to always be able to choose the best" suitable "shooting game within a year in the hope that it will peak at the right time. We can only hope that the system will provide a fair opportunity for the best shooter to be the determinant."Read More: Coronavirus Pandemic Affects On Sports Events

Men's World Boxing ChampionshipsIndia lost the rights to host the 2021 Men's World Boxing Championships to Serbia on Tuesday after the International Boxing Association claimed that the national federation had not paid host fees, which claimed that AIBA "acted in haste".The Indian Boxing Association acknowledged the delay but blamed "procedural complications" arising out of AIBA's failure to solve "problems" regarding the account to which the funds would be transferred.An estimated $ 4 million was due to be made on December 2 last year.“After New Delhi failed to fulfill its obligations to pay the host fees as stated in the terms of the host city agreement, AIBA terminated the contract. Therefore, India will have to pay a cancellation fine of $ 500,000,” said in a statement.The elite competition, which would have happened for the first time in the country, will be held in the Serbian city of Belgrade."Serbia has everything to organize a major event for athletes, coaches, officials and, of course, for boxing fans," said Mohamed Moustahsane, AIBA President.BFI is chaired by Ajay Singh, who also owns Spicejet Airlines. AIBA has been suspended by the IOC due to poor financial management.“The AIBA account was frozen in Lausanne. AIBA was planning to make some previous payments through an account in Serbia. Since Serbia is on the gray list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF countries), Indian banks do not usually do so by sending money to Serbia. AIBA may not solve these problems, "read statement from BFI to PTI."We have reason to believe that the decision to relocate the WCH-2021 was taken quickly without proper consultation with the BFI ... the punishment is shocking and surprising."Both sides are working towards a friendly settlement. BFI is confident that the penalty will be suspended and that we will host the world championship in the future," he added.The National Authority held the Women's World Championship in 2018 and won the rights to host the Asian Championships later this year just a few weeks ago.AIBA said she was glad to have found a new host for the event, which will take place in the Olympic year now that the Tokyo Games have been postponed in light of the COVID-19 pandemic."It is a major step towards the new competition system and also the financial stability of our organization, which will depend less and less on Olympic funds," said Mustafa."Because of the rescheduling of the 2020 Olympics, the AIBA Executive Committee will discuss with the host country the possible dates to adjust," he added."We believe that we will maintain the planned schedule and will hold the world championship in 2021 after the Games if the pandemic situation is under control." The head of the Serbian Boxing Federation Nenad Borovcanin welcomed the Championship back to Belgrade after 43 years."After the 1978 historical championship in the capital, Yugoslavia, this is the second time that our nation has returned as a host. I firmly believe that the Serbian Boxing Federation will do a great job of organizing this tournament ..." he said.Read More: AIBA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING

Stressing the importance of the mental fitness trainer, Dhoni said: "The mental fitness trainer should not be the one who comes for 15 days, because when you come for 15 days, you only share the experience. If the mental fitness coach is still with the player, he can understand the areas that affect his sport. " Badrinath believed that MFORE's main objective was to eliminate mind-induced interference and allow the athlete to reach his true potential. "We have been working on this project for about 8-10 months. What we have is a group of 20-25 coaches and sports psychologists from around the world. Our idea is to make the athlete interact with them. We can then to propose specific programs, we have essentially created a platform which allows the athlete to regularly do his mental training.

Remembering Balbir Singh Sr, who died on Monday at the age of 96, 1975 World Cup India hockey team Ajit Pal Singh spoke about the influence Balbir Singh had on the team as manager.It will be difficult to follow the impact of the three-time Olympic gold medal victory by Balbir Singh Senior on the hockey legend against Indian hockey. Sometimes he did, even without raising a hockey stick. Balbir Singh was the director of the Indian hockey team that beat Pakistan 2-1 in an exciting competition to win the first World Cup in 1975. India's only success at the world championship remains to this day. Recalling the legend of hockey, who died on Monday at the age of 96, Indian hockey captain Ajit Pal Singh spoke of Balbir Singh's influence on the team.In an exclusive telephone interview with the Hindustan Times, Ajit Pal expressed his condolences for the disappearance of Balbir Singh and described him as an ideal man."It is really sad news that we lost an excellent Indian hockey column. Balbir Singh was a great player, a great coach and a great coach. We were lucky because he was with us during the Cup from the world of 1975 and that he managed to win. He was perfect in all aspects of life: a balanced man. "In addition, he spoke of the dynamics he shared with the manager at the 1975 World Cup in Malaysia. "In 1975, our team got the perfect match, with everything in the right place. When the team (manager, players, coach, captain) clicks, it can only succeed. Winning the 1975 World Cup was a team effort. ""My relationship with Balbir was very friendly, off the pitch and on the pitch. He was an older player and was a father figure. We admire him for his advice." It was a perfect mix. "In the league, India suffered a terrible 2-1 loss in the group stage match against a weak Argentine team. The defeat forced India to beat West Germany in its next game to advance to the semifinals. Ajit Pal recalls how Balbir Singh motivated the whole team to break the fast."The Argentinian team was not good. They had a casual coincidence and they scored. We tried to get many chances, but we couldn't find a draw. It was disappointing for the players. The team was disappointed and frustrated. "The next morning, Albert Ji called us for a meeting. He said at the meeting, "Look, guys, whatever happened yesterday, forget it. Now, today and tomorrow, we have these two days to prepare for Germany. Today, we have to focus, we need to eat well, relax well, and chat. Ajith Pal said, "You can, God willing. Losing in Argentina doesn't mean you can't beat Germany. "India comfortably beat West Germany 3-1 to book a ticket to the semi-finals, while Malaysia beat 3-2 to reach the final match against Pakistan. "Being a great hockey player, his essence was how to motivate and discover the need of the hour, what are the kids talking about?" Ajit Pal said: "He was a very bright man, because he was a great player himself."The former Indian hockey superstar recovered from the last game against Pakistan, which was a very tense relationship. Pakistan got off to a good start, scoring an early goal. India rebounded strongly in the second period, then defeated its rivals 2-1 to lift the cup."The team was great and (Balbir Singh) seated at the side of the field, we were really motivated. Ajit Pal said:" I was very lucky because I am the team leader and we won the cup. "Balbir Singh Ji wanted the team to move forward together. It was a truly unforgettable experience in 1975, and we were very successful. We celebrated the World Cup victory across India, and it was a great time for hockey.

"Even if they had some kind of collision in that match, that was just part of the game," said Bhatia, who was part of the KKR team in that match."Later on, I didn't see them fighting (Gambir and Kohli).

Wisden utilized CricViz, the detailed cricket analysis tool for his performance analysis.The amazing Jadeja MVP rating was 97.3, second only to Muttiah Muralitharan from Sri Lanka, which made him the Most Valuable Player in test format in the 21st century."It might be surprising to see Ravindra Jadeja, one of the best all-rounder in India, as number one in India. After all, it is not always an automatic choice in the test team. However, when he plays, he is chosen as a frontline player and has batted number 6, Which contributes to the high turnout in the game, " Cricviz’s Freddie Wilde told Wisden."The 31-year-old’s bowling average of 24.62 is better than Shane Watson and his 35.26 batting average is also better than Shane Watson." The average differential of 10.62 between batting and bowling is the second-best in this century scoring more than 1,000 points and taking 150 wickets. He added that it is an all-rounder vehicle of the highest quality.After making its debut in 2009, Jadeja represented India in 49 Tests, 165 ODIs, and 49 T20Is so far.The 31-year-old’s bowling average of 24.62 was better than Shane Warren and his 35.26 average batting was better than Shane Watson.Earlier on Monday, Jadeja was trending on Twitter with fans participating in an online discussion on "Who's the Best", Ravindra Jadeja, or Krunal Pandya.However, the comparison between the two seemed completely unfair given that Jadeja is a seasoned activist and Krunal Pandya made its debut in India in 2018 and only appeared in 18 T20I so far.Also Read: IPL News: Rajat Bhatia talks about the ugly dispute in IPL between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli
The stage for the IPL to take place this year has been decided after the postponement of the T20 World Cup. © TwitterHighlights• The postponement of the T20 World Cup opened a window for IPL 2020• The BCCI has considering two places: India and the United Arab Emirates• The International Cricket Council postponed the T20 World Cup on MondayThe International Cricket Council announced on 20 July, the postponement of the 2020 World Cup, paving the way for the establishment of a window for the Indian Premier League.The postponement of the ICC T20 World Cup has opened a window to this year's Indian Premier League. The rich league appears to be back after being postponed in April due to a Coronavirus pandemic. However, concerns remained over the place. BCCI has two places to consider: India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Their favorite site is India, but as the incidence of coronavirus infection increases, they decide to get a backup site. The United Arab Emirates also hosted the first phase of IPL 2014.A proposal to organize the league will be sent to the government after the IPL Board meeting this weekend, with two windows proposed to organize 60 games.BCCI prefers the window between September 26 and November 7, while broadcasters want to host it between September 26 and November 14, to make the most of it during the Diwali weekend.However, the Indian team is traveling to Australia for a series of four tests, starting from December 3, the council will have to plan a clear quarantine window before starting the chain.For the time being, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will seek to provide plans for the biosafety site and process of bringing in players, ensuring their health and safety in the midst of an endemic epidemic.On Monday, the International Cricket Council revealed the revised dates for its next three global events in men's cricket, including the 2023 World Cup in India.The International Cricket Council said in a statement that Men's T20 World Cup 2021 will be held from October to November 2021 with the final on November 14, 2021.It added that the ICC T20 2022 World Cup will take place from October to November in 2022 with the final on November 13, 2022.The International Cricket Council did not mention the location of the T20 World Cup finals in 2021 and 2022.Also Read: IPL News: Rajat Bhatia talks about the ugly dispute in IPL between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli
The Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council will meet over the weekend in a conference call, followed by a meeting with key stakeholders: franchisees, broadcasters, and central sponsors.The meetings will chart out the "final plan" for the tournament, which will take place in the UAE from September 19.This comes after reported on concerns raised by the dealership about the arrangements being made for the 13th edition of the IPL. "In all these years of the IPL, the responsibility for accommodation, hospitality, travel, etc., during the IPL, was with the owners of the team. Nothing will change this year. The only change will be in the POEs regarding COVID "President Brijesh Patel said, also confirming the dates for the Meetings.BCCI decided to share its plans with UAE on MondayBio-secure bubble: Strict protocols being put in place. Each franchise agency will create its own bubble in which the team only interacts with the limited number of people in its ecosystem or assigned to them by the BCCI. A similar bubble will be created for employees of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, broadcasters, etc. Only through pre-designated coordinators will anyone be allowed to interact with people outside of their bubble.Revenue pools: Since the 60 IPL matches were played in 51 days, there will be no change in the distribution of the CBI's central income group.Gate money: If IPL were not to happen, franchises would not have sought any income. Letting go of gate money, the board says, is "pittance".Travel & accommodation: The franchise must specify its own travel and residence arrangements in the United Arab Emirates. Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry will coordinate with UAE authorities to guarantee "discounted hotel rates" and share them with concessions. Thereafter, the franchise would have the right to compromise on the options available to BCCI or to make its own arrangements. The franchise will take its players to the Emirates and vice versa, as is the case during the IPL in India each year.Medical assistance: Franchises will organize their own medical teams and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will organize a central medical team. Once the players and support staff arrive in the UAE, the burden of proof will fall on the dealer, who in turn will coordinate with the BCCI medical team 24/7. The medical team of each franchise will remain with their teams in the security bubble.Player replacement & loaning: There will be no change in player policy and franchises will be free to travel with additional players to avoid last-minute travel.The Board and the Board are working in fine detail to prepare a draft of these policies to be discussed at Saturday's meeting and then shared with the concessions.

IPL 2020 is about to start in the UAE after months of uncertainty and a lot of last-minute planning. The first match in the Indian Premier League this season will be played between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. MI and CSK were the finalists in 2019, a classic that saw MI come home with only one race left.IPL has been played in South Africa and the UAE as well in previous years. Getting ready for cricket after a long break may be the biggest challenge than a change of venue.Neither team will be severely affected due to the unavailability of Australian and English players during the first week of IPL, which is a good thing too.The MI vs CSK IPL 2020 match will take place at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on September 19, 2020.TEAM PREVIEWS:Mumbai IndiansEveryone will talk about the 5 matches the Mumbai Indians played and lost in the Emirates, but we are not sure if that is important. It was 2014 and we don't think it applies. After that, India won the AFC Asian Cup in the Emirates, and Rohit Sharma was one of the best players.Predicted TOSS MI VS CSKThe team that wins the toss may want to play first just to see what the court has to offer. However, we don't think the surface will change much in 20 times.Pitch and conditionsWe can be reasonably sure that it will not rain in Abu Dhabi in mid-September. The stadium at Sheikh Zayed Stadium will be flat, on the slower side, and without much bounce. A typical subcontinental cycle doesn't mind CSK at all.We've seen scores of around 150-160 on par in the other T20 tournaments that have been played here in the past.MI VS CSK Betting TipsWe will support the defending champions to win their first match in IPL 2020. That wasn't something they had done much in the past, but this time, their team looks a lot stronger than what CSK has to offer. Table. A better hitting squad, a smaller group of players, and more strength in their setup give the Mumbai Indians the advantage.He would lead the batting again and possibly open the batting alongside Quinton de Kock, as he did last season. Rohit Sharma has had a quiet moment in IPL over the past few years and only managed 405 injuries in 2019. It's a good comeback, but not for someone like Rohit, the white ball legend in India.Increase the possibilitiesPetway has a weird thing that has grown up now with six-year-old Rohit Sharma. The market is at 2.50 instead of 1.50. We think it's a good bet. Go to Betway to place a bet.Quinton de Kock scored 529 times while SuryaKumar Yadav had scored 424 times the previous season. These are three of which MI will launch its IPL 2020.We think multiplication number four is ready to be caught. Ishan hit Kishan most of the time, but he never made it his own. MI could choose to add Chris Lynn to the trade order and maybe switch to Rohit in order in the past (unlikely) or just start with Kishan.Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, and Hardik Pandya form the strong core of this team. Bullard was in great shape and looking better than ever. It will be one of MI's wild cards this season. This leaves the four shooters. Rahul Shahar did enough to secure the start, while JaspreetBumrah is an automatic pick. Trent Boult and Mitchell McLennan could be the other bowler's MI is looking for.This is a very solid assortment with almost all bases covered. The depth at the spinning pins and hitting position # 4 are the only potential weaknesses we can see.Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings (MI vs CSK) Predicted SquadsMumbai Indians (MI) Squads Aditya Tare, Anmolpreet Singh, Anukul Roy, Dhawal Kulkarni, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, JaspritBumrah, Jayant Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Lasith Malinga, Mitchell McClenaghan, Quinton de Kock, Rahul Chahar, Rohit Sharma, Sherfane Rutherford, Surya Kumar Yadav, Trent Boult, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Chris Lynn, Saurabh Tiwary, Digvijay Deshmukh, Prince Balwant Rai Singh, Mohsin KhanChennai Super Kings (CSK) SquadsMS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Piyush Chawla, Dwayne Bravo, Sam Curran, Karn Sharma, Shane Watson, Shardul Thakur, Ambati Rayudu, Murali Vijay, Josh Hazlewood, Francois Du Plessis, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar, Lungi Ngidi, Mitchell Santner, KM Asif, Narayan Jagadeesan, Monu Kumar, RutuRaj Gaikwad, R.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will be in a positive mood. Army Orange has reached the qualifiers for the past four seasons, and won the championship in 2016. This year, David Warner and his company will begin their campaign against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Monday, 21 September at Dubai International Stadium. When it comes to their rivalry, there isn't much to separate them. For the competitors, led by Virat Kohli, a challenging road awaits them. With no qualifiers taking place in the last three seasons, RCB will be under some pressure. At the auction, they managed to bring in some big names, and Adam Zamba joined them too. However, all that matters is producing products in the field.Scope and conditionsThe court in Dubai was good to beat. Scoring in a power game can be decisive for both teams. Spinners are more likely to play a role, especially after the field expands. As it is a night game and the dew factor in mind, teams can advance first after winning the draw. The weather is expected to be warm, with a temperature of around 35 ° C.Playing Combinations for SRH vs RCBSunrisers HyderabadProbable XIDavid Warner (c), Jonny Bairstow (wk), Manish Pandey, Priyam Garg, Vijay Shankar, Abdul Samad/Abhishek Sharma, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed/Siddarth Kaul, Shahbaz Nadeem.Royal Challengers BangaloreProbable XIAaron Finch, DevduttPadikkal, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers (wk), Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Chris Morris, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Adam Zampa, Navdeep Saini, Dale Steyn/IsuruUdana.The best possible outcomes of SRH versus RCBDavid Warner - Sun Raisers HyderabadDavid Warner was undoubtedly the most prolific foreign hitter in IPL history. Regardless of the conditions, the South has made races. After winning the Orange Cape several times, he is expected to be back at his start. Warner is also running after the COVID-19 pandemic after playing the ODI and T20I series against England.Virat Kohli - Royal Challengers BangaloreVirat Kohli is someone who does not resort to high-risk strokes and prefers to work in the middle. Playing since 2008, he's the Challengers' running top scorer and in IPL history with over 5,000 rounds to show for his efforts. He also has five centuries of his name, four of which came in 2016 when he scored nearly 1,000 points in one copy of the T20 Championship.Head to HeadOverallPlayed- 15 | RCB won- 6 | SRH won- 8 | N/R- 1At neutral venues (outside India)This will be the first time when the two teams will play against each other outside India.Average first innings score: 138 (Last four T20Is played at this venue)Record of chasing teams: Won – 1, Lost – 3, Tied – 0Broadcast DetailsMatch timings – 06:00 PM local time, 07:30 PM ISTTV – Star Sports 1, Star Sports 2, Star Sports 1 Hindi, Star Sports 1 Select, Star Sports 1 HD, Star Sports 2 HD, Star Sports 1 Select HD, and Star Sports 1 HD Hindi.Live Streaming – The match can be streamed online on Disney + Hotstar VIP.The prediction is for Sunrisers Hyderabad to win the match.Read More: Dream11 IPL 2020- Location, Sponsers, Schedule, Logo, Squads, Prize Money
Finally, the wait is over and I now have the Indian Premier League for 2020. The tournament we have all been looking forward to has got off to a great start. After a thrilling duel between the Indians in Mumbai and Chennai Super Kings in the first match, the Delhi Capitals and the 11th Kings of Punjab made an explosion. The start of IPL definitely made the wait worthwhile, as the tournament had only just begun.Next in the tournament is the Chennai Super Kings who will face the Rajasthan Royals. While the Super Kings have already had a picnic, it will be the first game for the royals. The Chennai Super Kings looked rusty at the start of their first match but were back to their usual best condition before the match ended. The Rajasthan Royals have a good squad coming from England and considering these players have been playing for quite some time already, the royals may not need a warm-up. CSK and RR, the two great and fiercely competitive teams meet on September 22, 2020, at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah.TEAM PREVIEWSRAJASTHAN ROYALSRajasthan Royals is perhaps one of the least glamorous teams in the tournament, and it is definitely rich in talent. While they pride themselves on their patriotic talent, this time they have some great international T20 players available. They took center stage when disagreements surrounded the Indian Premier League and thus were banned from participating in the tournament for two years, 2016 and 2017. They haven't been able to do much since then as they failed to qualify for the qualifiers on neither side. Later seasons.But this time, Rajasthan Royals has a solid squad, at least on paper, and that's mainly because of their strong top-ranking. Jos Buttler, Steve Smith, David Miller, and Robin Uthappa are some of the game's best advocates. Ben Stokes' participation in the tournament is still under the clouds, but he is sure not to be a part of the squad in the first matches of the Rajasthan Royals. Jos Butler, who has been isolated from his family according to the protocol, will also come out of his upcoming Royals game. Given the way Butler has been, his absence is definitely a major setback for the royal family.Although it is not their greatest strength, the Rajasthan Royals is full of resourceful Indian players who have proven themselves on the national circuit. Shreyas Gopal is an experienced baseball player and is as good as any player in the competition. He's also impressed the past year and with potentially favorable conditions for the spinners, Gopal will have a vital role to play. With Stokes and Buttler not playing in Game 1, the onus is on Sanju Samson and Yashasv Jaiswal to get the Royals off to a good start on the ball. While Sanju Samson is well known for his skills, Yashasvi Jaiswal broke aside thanks to his excellent U19 cricket performance. Along with Ryan Parag, Jaiswal will undoubtedly be the one to watch out for.Rajasthan Royals had a distinct weakness in Bowling Death, but with Tom Curran the way it is, there may be no need to fix Death Bowling problems. Curran was brilliant against the Australians in the recently concluded T20I series and with Archer ready to play alongside him, the Royals had two players who are good at killing. Slow launches from the UAE have to match the likes of Unadkat and Tye, providing management with a good number of options to choose from.While the royals had a solid squad on paper before the tournament began, Jus Butler's absence definitely leaves their plans a little muddled. Since the deck will likely slow down as the game progresses, the importance of quickly scoring a new ball cannot be overstated. Given that, a lot will depend on the likes of Robin Uthappa and Jashasvi Jaiswal. While they are not short of talented Indian players, the royal family is definitely lacking in Indians who have good local experience behind them. Their group is made up of mainly young Indians, and this could be a weakness that CSK might look to exploit.Rajasthan Royals is one of those teams rich with stellar players, who can all defeat them again a day. However, the absence of Stokes and Butler definitely takes the balance out of the squad. Since there aren't many experienced Indians at their disposal, they are highly dependent on their foreign players, especially Archer and Smith. The conditions in Sharjah are sure to suit them and if their foreign players can serve as a good example then the Royal Family team will be a tough team to deal with.CHENNAI SUPER KINGSWith Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh withdrawing from IPL 2020, the Chennai Super Kings appeared to be in trouble. However, as he always does, not only did MS Dhoni manage to fill the holes in the opening match, but he also managed to lead his team to another victory. It wasn't easy and there were some apparent weaknesses, but a win will definitely instill a lot of confidence in the team.The Chennai Super Kings victory in the first match was a tale of two halves. They looked tense and unprepared for the first half of the first half, but they dressed up again with great spells from Sam Curran and Piyush Chawla. Ravindra Jadeja and Lungi Ngidi brilliantly rushed out to knock out five wickets between them in the event of death changing the tone of the match. Mid-stage, CSK dropped its momentum with them, but that momentum was short-lived as they lost Shane Watson and Murali Vijay early on in the chase.Pave de Plessis seemed irritable throughout his inning, but a superb shot from Ambati Raudeau failed to press Fave de Plessis as the duo added 115 points to finish third. With an impressive appearance from Jadeja and Curran, Faf du Plessis sealed the deal when CSK won the match with four extra balls and five wickets in hand.While the Super Kings had many positives to glean from the opening match, their biggest comfort was a superb Fave win in third place, an area that Suresh Raina has owned for a long time. Given that CSK sealed the deal without injuring MS Dhoni or Kedar Jadhav, it says a lot about depth in the hitting lineup. They hit it deep with Deepak Chahar available to reach 10th place and that could be a nice advantage in critical situations.With Fave de Place in third place, the struggle for third place appears to have disappeared. With that being said, management will be wary about the top spots as Murali Vijay and Shane Watson didn't get off to a good start. These are the early days of the tournament, and while we expect MS Dhoni to stick with Watson, Murali Vijay may not have a long rope. He was never comfortable against James Pattinson and gave in to one on the inside, falling for the lead. With RetragJaquad and N Jagadisan in the team, CSK will definitely start looking for these options soon. We can even see a change in the next match with Gaikwad or Jagadeesan instead of Vijay. Sam Curran's excellent performance puts Dhoni in a nice pickle to choose between Dwayne Bravo and Sam Curran when the Caribbean player gets into shape.The Chennai Super Kings have never been such a scary team. At least it was never as terrifying as the Mumbai Indians or the Royal Challengers in Bangalore. The secret to their success so far has been the captain of MS Dhoni and the team efforts of the Chennai Super Kings always. They are very good at adapting to conditions and that will be very helpful this year. They have done well against the strong side of Indians in Mumbai and they should keep doing well in the upcoming matches as well.Predicting TOSS RR VS CSKBoth sides have preferred to play first in both games so far, and those decisions made sense at last with the pictorial spray in both games. Although the deck will likely slow down as the game progresses, splashing might make hitting a lot easier in game 2. Also, this is the first game on this deck and both sides will want to look at it before hitting. So, hopefully, the captain who wins the field will pass first.Pitch and conditionsThe average first-half results in the UAE hover around the 155-round mark and the average first-half winning score is just under 170. Although in various places, the totals in the first two matches were around the race mark of 160 and made for exciting competitions. We expect the surface in Sharjah to be a lot more friendly to strikes and shooters will have to work harder, especially in fatal situations. The weather will likely be hot and players' fitness will be tested again. Needless to say, the chances of rain are slim. As was the case in the first two matches, splashing could be a factor, causing the ball to hit the bat a little better in the second half of the second half. Given this and the usual nature of the surface, the team hitting first must look for at least 170 passes on the board.Predicting RR vs CSK DREAM11Check out the Dream11 fantasy squad for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) match of 2020 which will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings.

By winning their previous game, the Super Kings will be cheerful. On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals are not out on the field yet, and with Joss Butler and Ben Stokes absent, things have not started well for them. Also, Steve Smith hasn't played in a while due to concussion protocols and getting involved under the roof either. Since foreign unity was an important part of the royals' strategies, the absence of Butler and Stokes would be a factor. Given that and the fact that the Chennai Super Kings have already played and won a match, putting your points on winning the Super Kings should be the way to go on that next showdown.Our favorite bets:Top Hitter Team - Rajasthan Royals - Stephen Smith, 4 @ 1xBetWith Gus Butler and Ben Stokes absent, the onus is on Steve Smith to lead the team with the club. He is the most experienced player on the team and likely has a good number of installments available to play with. Steve Smith is an excellent spin and paced player, and it'd just be a matter of settling for big goals. There aren't many candidates other than him in the Royals field to score big points. This is an excellent bet with a good risk ratio.Highest Editorial Association - Rajasthan Royals, 1.85 @ BetwayIt looks like the opening duo of the Chennai Super Kings are undecided in their match against Mumbai and hopefully, it will happen again. Murali Vijay looked grumpy and Shane Watson had a slow start. Moreover, the duo will have Guofra Archer Bowling, who is in for a brilliant run in the England Series against Australia. On the one hand, the Royals' opening pair is likely new and better prepared to take on CSK's core basketball players.Total score (20 plus) - Ambati Roudou - 17.5 more, 1.83 in PetwayAmbati Rayudo looked great in the opening match and was named man of the match for his winning performance. Momentum and shape generally play a big role in this form of the game and Rayudu will be looking to get the most out of his look. With a superb shot from behind, he would slide with confidence and score more than 17 points which should be a walk in the park for him.When will the next wicket fall, Chennai Super Kings, Fall Of Wicket 1 - 20.5 Under, 1.83 @ 1xBetThis bet can be considered an extension of the second bet. The primary Chennai Super Kings duo is an Achilles heel and is unlikely to qualify in the next match. Rajasthan Royals has a decent new ball attack and picking up a small gate of irregular hitters shouldn't be a big challenge, especially given that these hitters don't have good match practice.Player Performance - MS Dhoni - Overall less than 33.5, 1.83 @ 1xBetNot likely to be a game in which huge totals are scored. Moreover, with the typical Ambati Rayudu and Faf du Plessis case, MS Dhoni is unlikely to be able to handle adequate deliveries. There is also the possibility that both Curran and Jadeja will be upgraded to lead him, mainly for a left-to-right combination in the middle. We saw MS Dhoni use these tactics in their first game, too. Given all these factors, the only real chance of earning MSD Points is behind logs and we don't think that earning many points is only possible through wicket maintenance. Sure, that sounds like a decent proposition for those looking to keep it safe. Read more: Dream11 IPL 2020- Location, Sponsers, Logo, Schedule, Squads, Prize Money
The first matches of IPL 2020 were exciting! We've already seen Super-Over, the value of the experience and many players have improved tremendously. There have also been some disappointments, but it is too early to dismiss someone.This next match will be held between Kolkata Knight Knights and Mumbai Indians. KKR is the last team to start and will be playing their first IPL match. For their part, the Mumbai Indians were defeated by the Chennai Super Kings in their first match.Both teams are very strong and they have really great talent. Can KKR exit the blocks in an instant or will the Mumbai Indians learn from their mistakes in the first match?The KKR vs MI IPL 2020 match will take place at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on September 23, 2020.TEAM PREVIEWSKOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERSKolkata Knight Knights will watch every match so far and learn. We've seen that the stadiums so far have had an amazing pace and bounce off it. The lawnmowers left lawn on the roof to prevent breakage and allow the ball to hit.This is something KKR will enjoy.His strength struck him. We look forward to seeing Shubman Gill open throughout the 2020 IPL season. He is a great talent, but he really hasn't had such a wonderful year that he will see him push for a place in the Indian team. He would have Sunil Narain at the top if he was fit. Narain has missed CPL's last few matches and has probably only rested as a precaution.KKR has the option to choose Tom Banton instead of Narine or maybe switch to Rahul Tripathi in order to add another foreign player. Personally, we'd love to see Pantone out there, but KKR's bowling beats aren't the strongest.Nitesh Rana, Ewen Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, and Andre Russell make up a very powerful medium system. Morgan was in great shape with a six-hitter, while Russell also had a productive CPL.We're not sure if Russell will really throw a lot this season, but it could be very dangerous if the roofs continue to offer some bounce.KKR's bowling attack is slightly weaker. Pat Cummins was very expensive in England, Kuldeep Yadav had his worst year in IPL 2019 and had to be eliminated, while the Indian speed squad lacked experiencePrasidh Krishna and maybe Shivam Mavi could start. This is where adding someone like Lockie Ferguson could be helpful if Narine isn't available.MUMBAI INDIANSThe Mumbai Indians continued their tradition of starting slowly and losing a match to CSK they should have really won. Now they will also face a tough test against KKR.Mumbai looked rusty in their previous game. Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Cook looked good before shedding it. The same can be said of Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya as well.We are also not sure if Saurap Tiwari would be the better option in fourth place. He scored 42 of 31 deliveries, but he's not the best in the spin and looks a bit suspicious against bowling at close range.For some strange reason, Kieron Pollard is still underrated by the Mumbai Indians. They don't send him to command and let him hit as much as he can. His performance always drops in sixth place due to a lack of available deliveries or hitting partners.The strength of the average order in Mumbai Indians is as good as the KKR, if not better.Jaspreet Bomrah was strangely elusive in the previous match. He didn't seem confident enough for his workers to try and ended up conceding many kicks. Trent Bolt was Mumbai's best shooting player in the previous match. Your ability to collect early terrain will again be crucial.Mumbai picked James Pattinson for their first match, but we can easily see him replaced by Mitchell McLennan or Nathan Coulter-Nile.The strengths of the Mumbai Indians team will not change or disappear overnight. However, her slow start and current form of the main players are cause for some concern.KKR VS MI TOSS PREDICTIONThe launch will be very important. We saw that the field became better to hit in the second half and the spray made things more difficult for bowlers. Hitting second would be a huge advantage.PITCH AND CONDITIONSWe've all come to the IPL 2020 thinking it's going to be low-score competitions in dust pots that are perfect for deer. Well, the curators did their job very well and managed to give us beautiful hitting fields on the bouncy surfaces and the lawn.The squares contain enough pitches that this trend can continue during the first weeks of IPL before the skins start to slow.The Mumbai Indians played their first match on this intact ground. The ball hit the racket well and hardly any turn was offered. There was also a lot of dew favoring the second hitting side.KKR VS MI DREAM11 PREDICTIONDream11 team and Dream11 tips for KKR vs MI IPL 2020KKR VS MI PLAYING 11 WICKETKEEPER:o Q Kock BATSMEN:o S Yadavo S Gillo R Sharmao E Morgan (vc) ALL-ROUNDERS:o K Pollardo A Russell (c) BOWLERS:o T Boulto R Chaharo P Krishnao P CumminsKKR VS MI BETTING TIPSThe importance of the gift in this competition cannot be overstated. The splash factor will flip things hard in favor of side chase, so keep that in mind while placing your bets.But overall, we think KKR has an excellent chance of making a little surprise in this competition. He has the batting to be able to match the striking power of Mumbai Indians. A KKR bowling attack can also benefit from the additional recoil offered.Bet KKR to win.Our favorite betsHexagon winner - Mumbai Indians ($ 2.10) (10 creeks)We don't think any team in IPL 2020 will have the six-strike power that Mumbai has, although KKR comes close. Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Kirun Pollard, and Suryakumar Yadav are excellent. I hope Andre Russell never owns one of his popular games.Total Eoin Morgan Points: Over 20.5 ($ 1.83) (Petway)Morgan is in the shape of his life and his support has been very profitable for us this season. You will be in the top 4 or 5 for sure and have a lot of problems to deal with. His ability to six whales and the way he attacks the flirt make him the best candidate to win that bet.Total people over 11.5 ($ 1.83) (1xBet)There is enough power six hits for this team to make this our best bet. The stadium was good in the opening match and expected to be the same. We don't think it's a problem that a total of six in the match is 12 or more.

The sixth match of the Indian Premier League 2020 will take place between Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.Kings XI Punjab kicked off its 2020 IPL campaign on a strange note. They started the match with a fire attack from Mohamed Al-Shami, which ended with numbers 4-0-15-3. Sheldon Cottrell also gave a good role, picking up two wickets from his four sums and conceding 24 times. But they let the match slip by in the second half of the bowling rounds. Then the team quickly lost their home and were reeling at 55/5 when Mayank Agarwal played a superb kick in the rear.However, when they hit the win, Agarwal threw his share and the team failed to make a run in their last three handovers. The match went to super and Punjab lost the match. KXIP will return in full force after their failed confrontation against Delhi.On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team finished on the right side of the streak against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Devdutt Padikkal and AB de Villiers set an explosive half-century record for the team, while Navdeep Saini and Yuzvendra Chahal improved their play when their team needed them.However, there are many problems in the Bangalore lineup, such as the weak bowling links Shivam Dube and Umesh Yadav, which Punjab will try to exploit.Read More:Top 10 Fantasy Cricket Websites in IndiaMatch Analytics and OddsThe form of RCB would suggest your cricket betting on this match should be with RCB to win.Let's have a look at the probable playing XI of both teams:Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) - Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers, Josh Philippe (wk), Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav, Dale Steyn, Yuzvendra ChahalKings XI Punjab (KXIP) - Lokesh Rahul(c & wk), Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan, Glenn Maxwell, Nicholas Pooran, Krishnappa Gowtham, Chris Jordan, Sheldon Cottrell, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed ShamiCricket Betting Tips and Match Predictions* - PrePlayWho will win the toss? - Kings XI PunjabWho will win? – Kings XI PunjabTop Batsman (Runs Scored) – Devdutt Padikkal (Royal Challengers Bangalore), KL Rahul (Kings XI Punjab)Top Bowler (Wickets were taken) – Yuzvendra Chahal (Royal Challengers Bangalore), Mohammed Shami (Kings XI Punjab)Most Sixes – AB de Villiers (Royal Challengers Bangalore), KL Rahul (Kings XI Punjab)Man of the Match – KL Rahul Team Scores Batting First – Royal Challengers Bangalore 165+, Kings XI Punjab 180+Match Handicap Kings XI PunjabIndian Premier League 2020 Live Cricket Streaming - bet365 live cricket streaming page allows you to watch cricket live.

CSK VS DC IPL 2020The Chennai Super Kings will face the Delhi Capitals in the seventh match of the Indian Premier League 2020. The match will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and is scheduled to start at 6:00 pm local time. Both CSK and DC have a lot of firepower in their teams, but somehow they didn't live up to their expectations. As for CSK, apart from Faf Du Plessis and AmbatiRayudu, they haven't managed to make an imprint in the tournament yet. The same goes for the capitals of Delhi, which despite winning their match against the 11th Kings, Punjab, were not at their best. There were some good shots from Shreyas Iyer and Marcus Stoinis, but neither happened for a big shot. However, Mohamed Al Shami's performance on the ball will bring a break for the Delhi Capitals. The game is expected to end on a tightrope with CSK gaining a slight advantage due to his experience in the batting order.CSK 14 -6 won the record over Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League and will look to continue his streak. However, the capitals of Delhi cannot be ruled out because they also have a great squad that, in their day, can blow their opponents away.CSK vs DC IPL 2020 Live streamingTV Channels: Fox Sports, Kayo Sports, Sky Sports, SuperSports, BeIN Sports, Start Sports 1, Star Sports 1 HD, Star Sports Select, Star Sports Select HD.Live Broadcasting: Hotstar.

The second-ranked teams struggled to be chased in the field.Weather reportThe weather in Dubai is expected to sweat players, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius.Toss PredictionThe match will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. Dubai Stadium provided some assistance to pacemakers with the new ball and is expected to play the same. Hitting wasn’t that easy on the ground with teams that settled on around 150 in previous matches. Any result above the 160 marks in this area should be difficult for the opponent.Read More: Top 10 Fantasy Cricket Websites in IndiaChennai Super Kings Team News & Playing 11Chennai Super Kings Team NewsAmbati Rayudo missed the match against the Rajasthan Royals, but he is expected to return to the team for the next match. It would be a big boost for the Chennai team who sweat the hitter look. Aside from him, Faf du Plessis' figure is also a positive sign for Chennai Super Kings. However, players cannot win your matches and CSK needs players like Shane Watson, Kedar Jadhav and MS Dhoni to do well in the upcoming matches.For Chennai, their players were the strongest midfielders, but RR hitter brought them to the cleaners in the previous match. MS Dhoni can bring Imran Tahir in place of Lungi Ngidi and Shardul Thakur can replace Piyush Chawla.Chennai Super Kings Key PlayersFaf du Plessis: Faf had a great touch in both of their matches. Once again, you will have the Chennai key in the middle order. He is a skilled player at turning the shot and can hit hard when necessary. With Ashwin and Axar Patel on the DC squad, he's a key figure in CSK's hit squad.Shane Watson: Shane Watson is one of those players who won't beat you in matches on a regular basis, but in his day, he can only defeat an opponent. Watson looked good at the previous game, as we assume a big shot is pretty close.Deepak Chahar – Deepak Chahar has been great in Chennai for the past few seasons. MS Dhoni trusts the shooter and almost every time he delivers his captain. It will be important for the new ball.Chennai Super Kings Team FormChennai started their tournament with a win against Mumbai Indians but was outplayed by Rajasthan Royals in their last game.Chennai Super Kings Predicted Playing 11Murali Vijay, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Plessis, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar, Shardul ThakurDelhi Capitals Team News & Playing 11Delhi Capitals Team NewsDelhi Capitals started their tournament with a spooky victory over Kings XI Punjab in their debut match of the 2020 IPL Championship, they were good at the match but definitely not at their best. Players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer started out but couldn't make it big. Shikhar Dhawan Road and Prithvi Shaw will also give headaches to Delhi capitals. Marcus Stones did well, but his fortitude is always in question. One positive thing for DC is their bowling that looks pretty settled with Rabada and AnrichNortje bowling splendidly. Axar Patel too had a fabulous game against Punjab. The only change that could be expected from them is Mohit Sharma being replaced by either Ishant Sharma or Avesh KhanDelhi Capitals Key PlayersPrithvi Shaw: Prithvi Shaw couldn't deliver the score in their final game, but we all know how devastating the opening matches can be. With this kind of attack on Chennai, Pretty Show will definitely envision himself achieving a great result.Shekhar Dhawan: Dhawan will also be excited to be participating in the tournament. He didn't have enough time to curl in his last game, but he is hoping for a big hit against the Chennai Super Kings.• Kagiso Rabada: Rabada could become a trump card for DC with its extra speed. The Chennai beginners have been fighting at a real pace and Rapada definitely poses a huge threat to them with the new. With the old ball too, he has the skills to stop the flow of running in death situations.Delhi Capitals Team FormDelhi’s first game ended in a tie but the Capitals held their nerves to emerge victorious in the Super OverDelhi Capitals Predicted Playing 11Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shimron Hetmyer, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravi Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ishant SharmaChennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals PredictionBoth teams have a strong team but Chennai just have a slight advantage over Delhi due to their vast experience teamCSK vs DC Dream11 PredictionWicket-keeper: MS Dhoni is not at his best, which makes picking goalkeepers easy. Rishabh Pant with a score of 9.5 is the most viable option for his team.Batsmen: You need players who can play big hits on your team. Shreyas Iyer has been at its best lately at 9.5 and it's one of my top picks. Shekhar Duan is 10 years old another hitter you don't want to miss. From Chennai, the choice is very simple. It should be one of the Faf du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, or both.You can also pick Shane Watson with 9.5 points as on his day; It will give you a lot of cool points.All-rounders: You have a lot to choose from in the off-road division with players like Sam Curran (8.5 credits), Marcus Stones in (8.5), Ravindra Jadeja in (9), and Axar Patel (8.5) in competition. You can also go to the Dwayne Bravo, but it's a risky option because you don't know if it's fit to play and bowling.Bowlers: In the bowling section, you can choose KagisoRabada in 9.0 with Deepak Chahar in 8.5. Imran Taher is also likely to play and can reach his team with 9.5 pointsCaptain/Vice-captain: As for the leader, Faf du Plessis could be a good choice with Shreyas Iyer. For Vice Captain, you can go to Shikhar Dhawan or Shane Watson because they are two great players. Read More : Dream11 IPL 2020- Location, Sponsers, Logo, Schedule, Squads, Prize Money
The Kolkata Knight Riders played their first match against the Indians in Mumbai, and they showed signs of rust because they couldn't even get close to the Mumbai Indians' total of 195 and only managed to take 146 rounds, losing the match 49 times.KKR's Mavi impresses:Shivam Mavi’s speed and control was a discovery for the Kolkata Knight Riders against MI as he only conceded 32 exaggerated 4 runs and collected two wickets, which is great considering the high-scoring match.Sunil Narain was a bank for KKR as always. Andre Russell is also impressed with his collection. Sandeep Warrior finished 3-0-34-0 but showed some good signs of improvement and is a work in progress for Kolkata. Unfortunately for them, Culdeb Yadav and Pat Cummins did a lot.Kolkata batting rusty against MIPursuing a giant goal, his initial group Shubman Gill and Sunil Narine were unsuccessful. Narine will have two more chances to unlock, after which there can be a change at the top of the order if the off-road vehicle is down.It was a surprise move by KKR to bring Dinesh Karthik to # 3. He's impressed with his 23-ball spell in the penalty area, but Karthik is perhaps better suited to the role of a spiker. Ewen Morgan and Andre Russell looked a long way from Kolkata and with their eliminations, Kolkata's hopes of winning their first game of the season also evaporated.However, Kolkata will be back stronger in this game with a match under his belt now and after he has tested his combinations between them. Read More: Top 10 Fantasy Cricket Websites in India Injury concerns for HyderabadWhile the Kolkata Knight Riders were rusty in their first meeting, Sunrisers Hyderabad's loss in their first game of the season was a mixture of poor execution and shame.For starters, Mitchell Marsh, SRH's multi-skilled player chosen over Mohamed Nabi, was only able to throw four balls before he had to leave. Marsh was excluded from the season with Jason Holder chosen as his replacement.SRH will likely go with Muhammad Nabi for this game. If Ken Williamson has recovered from his quadriceps muscle injury, it can be added to boost the average sexual and reproductive health ranking.David Warner wasn't lucky enough to be knocked out in the last game. Both Johnny Bayerstow and Manish Bandy were killed by reckless shots after the set.SRH depend on bowling to bail them out:SRH, however, was impressed, as Bhuvneshwar Kumar stood out. Although he did not collect any share, Bofneshwar only admitted 25 times out of the four sums. Off-road young man Abhishek Sharma went so far as to throw a couple of overs as he picked up a wicket and conceded 16 rounds.With Afghan bowling duo Muhammad Nabi and Rashid Khan preparing to return together, Hyderabad is hoping for its first win at the table.Matching and probability analysis:The SRH model may indicate that your cricket bets in this match must be with SRH to win.Here's the probable playing XI of both teams:Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) - David Warner (c), Jonny Bairstow (wk), Manish Pandey, Priyam Garg, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, Mitchell Marsh, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, T NatarajanKolkata Knight Riders (KKR) - Sunil Narine, Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan, Andre Russell, Dinesh Karthik(c & wk), Nikhil Naik, Pat Cummins, Kuldeep Yadav, Sandeep Warrier, Shivam Mavi Read More: Dream11 IPL 2020- Location, Sponsers, Logo, Squads, Prize Money- PitchHigh
RCB vs MI Dream11 IPL 2020 Prediction, Playing 11How to recover after hitting 97?Virat Kohli will have to rally his forces, to be an inspiring figure not only with his leadership skills but also with bats when they face the Mumbai Indians on Monday. MI has a lot of control over RCB when it comes to head-to-head stats, with the defending champions winning 16 out of 25 matches. In its last eight competitions, RCB has only managed to win once. So look at the psychological advantage that four-time IPL Champions have over Virat Kohli's team.MI might not change its winning combination, but the RCB can make some changes to its bowling setup with its pacemakers taking a lot of punches against KXIP.WEATHER FORECASTAnother hot day in Dubai.

As DC pursues a hat-trick of wins, SRH, led by David Warner, will aim to score its first win of the season, having lost two of its previous matches against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).In their first match against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), which entered Super Overseas, Marcus Stoinis and Kagiso Rabada ensured DC's victory before fully defeating the star-studded Chennai Super Kings in the next match. In beating, DC's top ranking from Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw would look to lay the groundwork for a grand total. While Shaw looks great with willow, Dhawan offers something special. Rishabh Pant and Ayer were also in great shape. While the duo rescued DC after a high-profile breakdown against KXIP, they also made valuable contributions against the CSK. Additionally, Australian off-road driver Marcus Stoinis has proven his worth with both a bat and a ball and is expected to make late-night fireworks with Shimron Hetmeyer. In the bowling division, South African duo Kagiso Rapada and Enrich Norte are in great shape so far. The DC Team Management only hopes Nortje is a little cheap like his countryman.

However, for the first time in the tournament, they will be playing outside Sharjah, where they have achieved great success.Their opponents in the game, the Knight Riders, are back on the winning path after losing their first game. They have been very supportive against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), but NRR is an area they are looking to improve.

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) started with a victory, but then fell into a pair of heavy defeats against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and the Delhi Capitals (DC). The victory also pushed them down the score table with a net execution rate of -0.840.His next match will be against David Warner Sunriser’s Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday 2 October at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Overall, the CSK dominated sexual and reproductive health in the number of face-to-face encounters. This time, however, the Sunrisers look a little more balanced than the Yellow Army.In the last game against Delhi Capitals (SRH), SRH scored his first points in the tournament, with a 15-point win. Ken Williamson's return from injury also boosted his hitting squad and the New Zealand captain won the gold medal early on.Scope and conditionsThe pitch in Dubai has improved for hitting over a period of time. The striking teams first gained a huge advantage on the surface. Spinners are more likely to play.The hitter will have to rely on singles and doubles, because crossing long limits may not be that easy. The temperature will be around 35 degrees and the dew will likely play a role.Read More: Top 10 Fantasy Cricket Websites in IndiaPlaying Combinations for CSK vs SRHChennai Super KingsProbable XIAmbati Rayudu, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (C & WK), Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Piyush Chawla, Deepak ChaharSunrisers HyderabadProbable XIDavid Warner, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Abdul Samad, Abhishek Sharma, Priyam Garg/Vijay Shankar, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, T NatarajanProbable Top Performers for CSK vs SRHShane Watson– Chennai Super KingsShane Watson didn't have the best of IPL, having only scored 51 points with an average of 17.

With an explosive batting formation that completes Bowling's emotional death, the Mumbai Indians will have their nose in an IPL match against Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan Royals may need to tweak the Indian squad a bit as they try to pull their IPL campaign out of the current rot against the super-confident Mumbai Indians on Tuesday. Starting with a blow in Sharjah, the royals suddenly collapsed onto larger land in Dubai and Abu Dhabi as the willow bearers did not show half the threat as they did during the first two matches.“The last two matches did not go as planned after a very good start to the tournament. But I think this is how T20 cricket works.” Steve Smith, captain of the royal team, said on the eve of the match. “I hope tomorrow I can score a few games. I missed the last two games, but it's happening. "On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians have been solid in the last two games and are currently at the top of the table thanks to a better execution rate compared to Delhi Capitals, who also stand at six points. After a shocking loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in "Super Over", the defending champions once again bounced back in style, defeating Kings XI Punjab and Sunners Hyderabad by 48 and 34 rounds respectively.Read More: Top 10 Fantasy Cricket Websites in IndiaMI vs RR WEATHER FORECASTMI vs RR Dream11 IPL 2020 Match 20_Predicted XIs, Weather Forecast_Google ScreenshotMI vs RR 2020, IPL Live Streaming DetailsTV Broadcast: Star Sports Network.Online Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar VIPMI vs RR Pitch ReportThe stadium at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, is fairly balanced and offers a lot of support for both hitters and bowling. The hitter will have to play himself before he takes his shots. They should aim to target the shorter side of the Earth. In previous matches in Abu Dhabi, Al Nada played his part and not well. The mystery remains over whether to hit first or hunt in Abu Dhabi. The Mumbai Indians, despite playing three matches here, are not chased yet. On the other hand, the royals were easily disfigured after hitting first in their only match on the court.MI vs RR Head-to-HeadPlayed- 23 | Mumbai Indians won- 11 | Rajasthan Royals won- 11 | NR- 1MI vs RR Fantasy TipsQuinton de Kock, Jos Buttler (VC), Ishan Kishan, Steve Smith (C), Suryakumar Yadav, Riyan Parag, Krunal Pandya, JaspritBumrah, Rahul Chahar, Jofra Archer, and Shreyas Gopal.MI vs RR Probable Playing XIsMumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (C), Quinton de Kock (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, JaspritBumrah.Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler (wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal/Robin Uthappa, Sanju Samson, Steve Smith (C), Riyan Parag.

Dream11 IPL 2020, Match 30In their previous meeting, the Royals lost to the Capitals by 46 runs.Delhi Capitals (DC) have had decent outings thus far in the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Having won five out of their first seven games, Shreyas Iyer and Co aren’t far away from qualifying for the playoffs, barring a miraculous slump.However, in their last match, the Capitals lost to the Mumbai Indians (MI) by five wickets at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The Capitals are next scheduled to lock horns with the Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday, October 14 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.Moreover, DC is unbeaten in this IPL in Dubai, having won three games. The Royals, on the other hand, are placed sixth in the points table, despite beating David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). They can’t afford to be complacent either.Pitch and ConditionsThe pitch in Dubai has been a decent one for batting. Batters have found their way, but even the bowlers haven’t done bad.

RR vs SRH Dream11 IPL 2020 Prediction, Playing 11In another high-effort Indian Premier League match on Great Thursday, Rajasthan Royals Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Match No. 40. The royals led by Steve Smith are sixth in the standings with eight points and still have little chance to advance to the next round. On the other hand, SRH is one point six points below it and thus has four points to memorize. RR failed to shoot Chennai Super Kings (CSK). His tactic of demoting Jos Butler to fifth, however, managed to finish the match unbeaten at 70 and lead the team to victory. Ben Stokes, Sanjo Samson and Robin Uthapa should provide a good start, while the responsibility for turning them falls to Butler and Smith. Samson has been in decline since the first two games of the season and will be looking to improve his performance.RR captain Guofra Archer (39 wickets from 31 matches) will once again lead the reins and seek support from Stokes, who has yet to make a difference. The other players, Tiwatia, Shrias Gopal, Ankit Rajput and Kartik Tiyagi were too cheap for the ball against CSK. On the other hand, SRH is on the verge of losing a tipping point, and winning alone is what keeps them optimistic. The 2016 champions are based largely on the top four: Johnny Burstow, Warner, Manish Bundy and Ken Williamson. They still couldn't find a finisher in their middle order. It was this factor, along with Williamson's injury, that drove Warner down the standings in his previous match against the Kolkata Knight Riders. He ended up pushing the match into super.RR vs SRH Pitch And Toss ReportWith first-round average scores of 174, the Dubai International Cricket Stadium saw its fair share of excitement in IPL 2020. The Bolins succeeded in this place, with enough movement available off the field on the roof to keep them interested. Despite the dimensions of the playing field in their hands, the teams preferred to see outside the inaugural stage as the pacemakers dominated the center with a bowling swing.RR vs SRH Fantasy TipsJonny Bairstow, Priyam Garg, David Warner (VC), Jos Buttler, Steve Smith, Abdul Samad, Ben Stokes (C), Jofra Archer, Rashid Khan, Kartik Tyagi and T Natarajan.RR vs SRH Predicted Playing XIRajasthan Royals: Ben Stokes, Robin Uthappa, Sanju Samson (WK), Steve Smith (C), Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Ankit Rajpoot and Kartik Tyagi.Sunrisers Hyderabad: Jonny Bairstow (WK), David Warner (C), Kane Williamson/Mohammad Nabi, Priyam Garg, Manish Pandey, Abdul Samad, Vijay Shankar, Sandeep Sharma, Basil Thampi, Rashid Khan and T NatarajanRR vs SRH Full Squads Rajasthan Royals: Steve Smith (C), David Miller, Manan Vohra, Riyan Parag, Robin Uthappa, Shashank Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ben Stokes, MahipalLomror, Shreyas Gopal, Tom Curran, Anuj Rawat, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Akash Singh, Andrew Tye, Aniruddha Joshi, Ankit Rajpoot, Jaydev Unadkat, Jofra Archer, Kartik Tyagi, Mayank Markande, Oshane Thomas, Rahul Tewatia, Varun Aaron.Sunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner (C), Jonny Bairstow, Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, ShreevatsGoswaRR, Virat Singh, Priyam Garg, WriddhimanSaha, Abdul Samad, Vijay Shankar, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Jason Holder, Abhishek Sharma, B Sandeep, Sanjay Yadav, Fabian Allen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Sandeep Sharma, Shahbaz Nadeem, Siddharth Kaul, Billy Stanlake, T Natarajan, Basil Thampi.Read More About- Match 39- KKR VS RCB
CSK vs MI Dream11 IPL 2020 Prediction, Gameplay 11Given their history and success in the Indian Premier League, a match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians is sparking a lot of interest. However, given how the season has turned for both teams so far, one seems clearly favorable. CSK is completely discolored. They started on a note promising a victory over the defending champions, but have since fallen to the bottom of the pile. MI rebounded from their season-opening loss and are third on the points table.CSK vs MI head-to-headChennai and Mumbai have met 29 times before including once this season. Historically, MI has been the dominant player with 17 wins so far. On the other hand, CSK won 12 matches. Their last encounter was also the first match in the 2020 IPL Championship when CSK won by five wickets.CSK vs MI Pitch and Toss ReportSharjah was a hitter's paradise when the season started. And as he progressed, the bowlers began to have a lot to say now. Stability then shooting appears to be the best strategy now, and it's something many CSK hitters prefer. MI also have hitters that take a vacation before going to the hammer and pincers. However, they also have a pair of great hitters that have proven capable of chasing shooters from the very first ball. The team that has scored second in the last two games has won here. However, the first team had won the previous treble.CSK vs MI Fantasy PredictionsQuinton de Kock (captain), Faf du Plessis (vice-captain), Krunal Pandya, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Ambati Rayudu, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Sam CurranCSK vs MI expected playing XICSK: Sam Curran, Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav/N Jagadeesan, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Piyush Chawla/, Josh HazlewoodMI: Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit BumrahCSK Squads vs Complete MIChennai Super Kings: MS Dhoni (captain), Josh Hazlewood, Murali Vijay, Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Lungi Ngidi, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla, Imran Tahir, Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur, Sam Curran, N Jagadeesan, KM Asif, Monu Kumar, R Sai Kishore, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Karn SharmaMumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (captain), Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Aditya Tare, Anmolpreet Singh, Anukul Roy, Chris Lynn, Dhawal Kulkarni, Digvijay Deshmukh, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, James Pattison, Jasprit Bumrah, Jayant Yadav, Mitchell McClenaghan, Mohsin Khan, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Prince Balwant Rai, Quinton De Kock, Rahul Chahar, Saurabh Tiwary, Sherfane Rutherford, Suryakumar Yadav, Trent BoultRead More About: RR VS SRH Match no. 40.
KKR vs KXIP Dream11 IPL 2020 PredictionBelatedly by four wins in a row, Kings XI Punjab hopes to preserve the Giant as they face the revival of the Kolkata Knight Riders in a mid-table match here on Monday. Punjab is ranked fifth on the points table after winning five matches in 11 games, while Kolkata is slightly better, as it ranked fourth with 12 points. A Punjab victory would lift them to the top four, while a KKR victory would lift them to 14 points, like the top three teams in the competition, boosting their chances in the play-off. As the race to the playoffs rages, both sides know the value of winning on Monday. KXIP regained its form, ending its five-game losing streak with a victory over third-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then, the team led by KL Rahul has never looked back, defeating the two best teams in the tournament, the Indians from Mumbai and the capital cities of Delhi, plus Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, they must also win the remaining matches in order for the playoffs to take place. KXIP has hitters that match the style of Rahul, the tournament's top scorer in Running, and Mayank Agarwal. The presence of the illustrious Chris Gayle has inspired the team, and since his inclusion in the eleventh game, the Punjab team has never lost a match. Nicholas Pooran also looks dangerous, but Glenn Maxwell's precarious form remains a concern.KKR will also be enthusiastic after its landslide win over formidable Delhi Capitals and will try desperately to maintain the winning momentum. After an embarrassing loss of eight wickets to Royal Challengers Bangalore, the champion twice regrouped and caused a 59 round loss to Capitals, who is second on the points table. Promoted to the open tour, Nitesh Rana plunged into his new role and took a whirlwind of 81 while he was competing in 115th place with Sunil Narine (64). The spinning leg of Varun Chakravarthy then shattered the mid-ranking of the DC with five points.KKR vs KXIP Presentation ReportThe cricket stadium in Sharjah has slowed dramatically, with new bowlers recently taking over. When the tournament started, Sharjah tape gave a lot of running and support to the batsmen who enjoyed hitting this wicket, but it's not the same anymore. The likes of Siraj and Bolt enjoyed conditions due to the show's early swing, which must also be the case in this game. Interestingly, shooters will be the key to luck on both sides, and hitters should be able to play their natural game once they get used to the rhythm of the surface. However, the dimensions of the floor prefer the mixture because the straight boundaries are very small. With the likes of Gail, Rahul, Buran, Morgan, and Russell, we can look forward to a race festival on Monday. Both teams will look to the chase by winning the lottery, with a competitive total number of 170 in that location.

SRH VS MI PredictionPlaced fifth within the eight-team standings with twelve points, SunRisers Hyderabad ar simply a win far away from securing a competition berth and that they can get to dish out one thing special after they face a rampaging urban center Indians within the last league match of the Indian Premier League in Sharjah on Tuesday. With eighteen points, defensive champions urban center have ticked all the boxes to this point, and stopping their juggernaut will certainly be a herculean task for David Warner’s team. Hyderabad should have drawn confidence from their consecutive 2 wins against Old Delhi and the city. However, the challenge on Tuesday might probably be a special one.Warner, Wriddhiman Saha, Manish Pandey, and Kane Williamson, SRH boast a solid top-order, and that they have a power-hitter within the middle-order within the variety of all arounder Jason Holder, United Nations agency has been pretty good in each department of the sport — batting and bowling. In bowling, pacers Sandeep Sharma and T Natarajan have conjointly regained their confidence whereas ace leg-spinner Rashid Khan continues to be their go-to man.On the opposite hand, urban centers have the foremost balanced facet within the league. Batting mainstay Ishan Kishan and all-rounder Keiron Pollard have crammed the void within the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma, who is injured. Whereas Kishan, the Jharkhand stumper-batsman, has provided flying starts at the highest, Pollard has crystal rectifier the team quite well in Rohit’s absence. Opener Quinton De Kock and Suryakumar Yadav are the opposite in-form batters whereas Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and Pollard kinda solid lower middle-order. Speedsters Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult can all over again look to bother the SRH batters with their deadly pace whereas Rahul Chahar, Krunal, and Pollard would be keen to supply further support to them.Toss: 7:00 PM IST in SharjahTime: 7:30 PM ISTSRH VS MI Dream11 Team Ishan Kishan, Wriddhiman Saha, David Warner, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Manish Pandey, Kieron Pollard, Jason Holder, Krunal Pandya, Rahul Chahar, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Rashid Khan (VC).Predicted XI'sSunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner (C), Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Abdul Samad, Abhishek Sharma, Jason Holder, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, Rashid Khan, and T Natarajan.Mumbai Indians: Chris Lynn, Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Anmolpreet Singh/Saurabh Tiwary, Kieron Pollard (C) Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Rahul Chahar, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Mitchell McClenaghan, and Jasprit Bumrah/Dhawal Kulkarni.Squads:Sunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner (C), Abhishek Sharma, Basil Thampi, Yarra Prithviraj, Billy Stanlake, Jonny Bairstow, Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Shahbaz Nadeem, Shreevats Goswami, Siddarth Kaul, Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan, Vijay Shankar, Wriddhiman Saha, Abdul Samad, Fabian Allen, Jason Holder, Priyam Garg, Sandeep Bavanaka, Sanjay Yadav, Virat Singh.Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (C), Saurabh Tiwary, Chris Lynn, Anmolpreet Singh, Suryakumar Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Anukul Roy, Prince Balwant Rai, Sherfane Rutherford, Jasprit Bumrah, James Pattinson, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Trent Boult, Dhawal Kulkarni, Rahul Chahar, Jayant Yadav, Mitchell McClenaghan, Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, Aditya Tare, Digvijay Deshmukh and Mohsin Khan.

Teqball, a new simple, and brilliantly fun soccer game revolutionize the world of football. All soccer stars, major football clubs, and national teams have been infected with the teqball virus. Teqball's Jirjili Morani talks about the challenges associated with developing this new sport, and the role that intellectual property (IP) plays in enhancing the company's ambitions to promote and ultimately transform the sport globally. In an Olympic sport.What was the inspiration for Teqball?Teqball, the company, was founded by Gábor Borsányi, Gyuri Gattyán, and Viktor Huszár. Gabor, the creative force of the team, came up with this idea when he was a professional young soccer player. When he couldn't reach a soccer field, he and a friend were training to pass a soccer ball across one of the many table tennis tables outside apartment buildings in Budapest. Later on, he realized that by simply adding a curve to the top of the table, he could create a more fun game, which we call teqball.So what exactly is Teqball?Teqball is the company responsible for developing an innovative sports product for use in an emerging soccer-based sport, which can be played by both professionals and amateurs, including people with disabilities. The game combines the fast speed of table tennis with soccer skills and excitement. One of the great advantages of teqball is that you don't need a team of people to play, you just need a friend. We call it teqball because you need technology to play and you can play it with regular football.The company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Budapest, Hungary, where our R&D center is located. We employ around 130 people, compared to 38 last year, many of them under the age of 30. The main goal of the company is to create value through the power of sport. This is what drives us.So is teqball rules exclusive for soccer?When we started developing teqball, we were very focused on soccer, but in reality, you can play five different games at the Teqball table: teqball, teqis, teqpong, qatch and teqvoly. At the moment, teqball is the most advanced. For example, the various teqball cups we organize are focused on soccer. In the future, we plan to develop other games in individual sports majors and organize Teq games where athletes can compete in all Teq sports. That would be a great event.Tell us more about teqball rules.The Teqball table is roughly the size of a table tennis table but has a curved surface and a solid mesh for the ball to bounce if not hit properly. This means that players can only rely on their skills and abilities. There is no luck in the game. All you need is an opponent at the other end of the table to start the game. It is a great way for soccer fans to develop their technical skills, focus, and stamina.Teqball is the only training method in the world that gives players a high level of contact with the ball. That's why football players take them. There are a large number of international footballers who already play football in their spare time, with no incentive for us to improve their skills in handling the ball or just for fun. It is also very good for heating and cooling. We have created a series of training to ensure players get the most out of their soccer experience and can develop their soccer skills on the field with our equipment.Our intellectual property is our most valuable asset, and protecting it gives us the freedom to build new business relationships without fear of endangering our intellectual property assets.And your product range?We have Teqball ONE, which is extremely durable, sturdy, and floor standing. Municipalities use it in public parks and we use it in professional football competitions. We also have a small portable version called Teqball SMART, which is perfect for schools. And later this year, we will launch a more expensive version, which will sell for around 700 euros; It is much easier and allows us to greatly increase our production capacityWas creating a curved table a challenge?Developing a table with a flat surface is simple, but creating a curved table that is completely soft, lightweight, quiet, and easy to assemble and ship presents a number of difficult technical challenges.Finding the right materials and the best way to put everything together took a lot of research, experimentation, and patienceAlso Read: Pickleball RulesHow did you get people interested in teqball and about teqball rules?At first, it was hard to convince people to try the game, but once they did, they became addicted. We share it with all our knowledge of the football world. We knew we needed to get to a point where people would see their favorite soccer stars playing soccer and using our gear. Now many of the best soccer players and soccer clubs, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea, and national teams are playing teqball. They started playing spontaneously, without any sales promotion from us, because they really enjoyed playing the game. This really helped boost teqball's popularity as a sport.Earlier this year, Teqball was officially recognized by the Asian Olympic Committee as a sport. This is a big step forward for us as it means teqball is now an official sport in 45 Asian countries. It also paves the way for teqball's inclusion in the upcoming Asian Games, the world's second-largest sporting event.How did you establish football as a professional sport?Once we decided to promote it as a professional sport, we realized the need to create an association to oversee teqball governance, and in 2017, FITEQ, Teqball's international federation, was created. It is based in Lausanne, Switzerland. We started this process shortly before the first Teqball World Cup kicked off in 2017 in Hungary. An indication of the rapid growth in popularity of the sport is that 20 countries participated in the Teqball World Cup 2017 in Hungary, and the Teqball World Cup 2018 in Reims, France, in which 42 countries participated.At what point did you realize the importance of intellectual property?When we came up with the idea of teqball, it was clear that we needed to protect it. Because of its simplicity, anyone can copy the idea. So we understood the importance of intellectual property from the start. We have ensured that all potential partners have signed well-regulated confidentiality agreements (NDAs) and have taken steps to protect the schedule design and other technical elements. To date, we have sought protection in about 50 different countries and made use of the various cost-effective filing and registration systems offered by WIPO, including the PCT and the Hague System for International Design Registration. Industrial, to do so.Our intellectual property is our most valuable asset, and protecting it gives us the freedom to build new business relationships without fear of endangering our intellectual property assets. Intellectual property rights are essential to our future business plans in terms of creating a global network for the manufacture and distribution of our tables to ensure that sports fans who want to play table tennis have access to our products at reasonable prices. In South America, for example, high import duties make our products very expensive. With a local Teqball table manufacturing and distribution partner, we can facilitate access to them at reasonable prices. We are already working with a partner in China for this. In Europe, our online store will be our main point of sale, as this will allow us to offer customers more flexible payment options (for example, down payment followed by monthly installments). We see this as an important way to make sport available and accessible to everyone. The real value to us is not the number of tables we sell, but the number of players we attract into the game. We sell sports and also bring fun to exercise. Intellectual property rights also play an important role in allowing us to promote and develop sport in the long term.How about the importance of care?In the medium term, we plan to develop brands for different teqball competitions, such as Teqball World Championship and Teqball World Series. Each of these competitions will need to be supported by an effective IP strategy to attract sponsors, the media, the best players, and, of course, the spectators. At the first Teqball Beach Games in Lupa Beach near Budapest in 2018, we have already signed sponsorship agreements with major companies like BMW and Hublot. Given the excitement surrounding the Teqball brand, our goal for the upcoming Teqball World Championship in 2019 and 2020 is to take Teqball sponsorship and teqball rules to a new level by expanding our sponsorship program to many first-class sponsors.Also Read: ISL ( Indian Super League ) 20-21 Updates

Mumbai City club hosts Northeast United in the international league on Friday, and the islanders need to win to return to the top four after Odisha lost to FC Goa on Wednesday.Mumbai entered the game after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Hyderabad, when a late penalty kick from Marko Stankovic deprived Jorge Costa's team of all points and left them with a share of the spoils.Northeast's hearts were also shattered by their death in their final match, and injury-time winner Balwant Singh was sentenced to their third consecutive loss as they fell 1-0 to ATK.

Jorge Costa loves a steady line-up, and the only change will be whether Modou Sougou is fit enough to be a starting player, in which case he will replace Serge Kevyn.For NorthEast, it just wasn't as good in Asamoah Gyan's absence, and they'll likely feel once again the worst part of not having enough offensive ammo. Andy Keogh and Simon Lundevall are still settling in a new team, a new system, and a new country, so players like Redeem Tlang and Martin Chaves really need to step up and score goals for Robert Jarni 's side.

On the other hand, Mumbai will look to recover after a poor performance in Hyderabad, and Sougou's return should propel them to victory.Prediction: Mumbai City FC 2-0 NorthEast United
The second round is underway in the Indian Premier League (ISL) as the teams are slowly establishing themselves and trying to form the right groups from their teams. Kerala Blasters FC Northeast United are hosting the Goa Medical College Stadium in Bambolim on Thursday.The Kerala Blasters lost the first game of the season to ATK Mohun Bagan, 0-1.

With a win and tied in the Indian Premier League 2020-21, Hyderabad FC are soaring as this is the best start to the season in ISL. Under Manolo Marquez, the club is undergoing a rebuilding process and could even challenge a place in the extension this season.Under the contract, Owen Coyle's Jamshedpur FC enters the match with a loss followed by a 2--2 draw. Despite the adverse results, Jamshidpour appears to be on the right track with Nereus Valskis, the league's top scorer last season, finding his golden touch in front of goal.Cowell will also be happy with Jackichand Singh and Valskis who cooperated well in attack. The former was a big part of FC Goa's offensive that helped the club reclaim winners from the previous season.In a goalless draw against Bengaluru FC, Joel Chianese and Louis Sastre were eliminated in the first half due to injuries. Both players will miss the match against Jamshedpur FC. Forward Fran Sandaza is unlikely to take over the field either.

The seventh season of the Indian Super League (ISL) enters its third week with two former champions on paper. Two-time ISL champion club, Chennai, is set to face the 2019 champions Bengaluru FC at GMC Stadium in Bambolim, Goa.Preview Chennai FCChennai coach Chapa Laszlo will face a challenge when his team faces well-known enemies of Bengaluru FC. Marina Machans kicked off her campaign in the 2020-21 ISL championships with a 2--1 victory over Jamshedpur FC. Midfielder Anerod Thapa and New Deal player Ismael Goncalves advanced in that match.However, after a racy offensive performance, Chennai FC was relatively weak in their second showdown against Kerala Blasters FC. To compound his troubles, striker Jacob Sylvester missed a penalty kick and missed his first goal in the AFC Champions League.The attack was in good shape against Jamshedpur FC but lacked the much-needed bit of pitch against Kerala Blasters. Chennai will have to face a well-disciplined, well-trained Bengaluru FC team.Bengaluru FC Team PreviewBengaluru FC only managed to draw with Hyderabad in the 50th game of coach Carles Quadrat in charge of the team. The blues weren't at their best considering the high standards that were set.Sunil Chhetri and his cohorts lacked the offensive momentum for which they have always been famous for in ISL. Bengaluru FC scored two goals and none of the prime forwards was able to score.Quadrat will be happy with his defensive setup because Trio Fran Gonzalez, Juanan and Harmangot are news that have established their baseline well. Bengaluru used Ashique Kuruniyan's pace well along the flanks to provide defensive support and aid in offensive play.Predict the Chennai FC Bengaluru matchThe matches between the two teams have always been exciting with a tendency to score many goals. The match record is locked in three wins for every match ending in a draw.Indian soccer fans can look forward to a thrilling showdown as the two southern giants face each other. Given what it looks like in the ISL so far, we'd expect the two sides to finish in terms of level.Prediction: Chennaiyin FC 1 - 1 Bengaluru FCAlso Read: ISL 2019-20: ATK MOHUN BAGAN VS ODISHA FC MATCH PREDICTION, PREVIEW AND WHERE TO WATCH

The 2019/20 ISL (Indian Super League) season has been unforgettable for Hyderabad FC. The club came to ISL (Indian Super League) as the new avatar for Pune City FC, which has multiplied due to various financial problems and unpaid salaries for some players. However, despite the spirited way in which they got into the league, Hyderabad FC didn't live up to the hype.The club was unable to maintain a clean sheet throughout the entire season and has only scored two wins in its 18 matches. HFC also failed to score wins in December and January, ensuring it is cemented further down the table at the end of the season. The club finished 10th at the table with just 10 points from 18 matches dedicated to this season.On the other hand, Bengaluru has also had a forgotten season with their high standards. After winning a title every year of their existence, they finished the 2019/20 season without any titles. It is clear that the Blues had serious problems facing goal.With Miku gone and with club captain Sunil Chhetri without getting younger, Carles Quadrat had major loopholes to fill in XI in the match. Deshorn Brown, Kevaughn Frater, and Manuel Onwu ran a placement test, and none of them solved the problem.One would expect both Bengaluru Football Club and Hyderabad to grapple with the issues in the 2020-21 ISL (Indian Super League) season. While Carles Quadrat has hired players like Clayton Silva and Christian Upseth, Hyderabad has gone ahead with much-needed roster reform. The club's first signature was Spaniard Manolo Marquez. With 32 years of coaching experience under his belt, Marquez's coaching credentials are well known in some football circles.ISL Live Bengaluru vs Hyderabad Although there isn't much meaningful history in the Bengaluru FC matches against Hyderabad, the next match in Fattorda promises to be fun.Bengaluru FC will play the game after losing points to FC Goa in their first game of the season.

Carles Quadrat's men would undoubtedly suffer after the result, but they were confident of entering the match against Hyderabad FC.As far as Hyderabad FC is concerned, they scored an impressive 1-0 win over Odisha FC. The result was not only a rare victory but also his first clean sheets. However, as the win gives them much-needed confidence in the match against the Bengaluru side, Manolo Marquez will be aware of the threat the Blues could pose.Needless to say, a good match is expected in Fattorda between Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

The brand surpassed cricketer Captain Virat Kohli, who was awarded Rs. 1.29 crore and pocketable Rs. 1.38 million rupees during the year.Each Indian cricketer pays Rs. 15 Lakhs, Rs. 6 lakhs, and Rs. 3 lakhs for each test, ODI and T20I played respectively. Now, players holding A+ grade contract earn a salary of Rs. 7 million rupees every year except for the same. In this sense, given that both Bumrah and Kohli are A + players and the former has played most of the games in this calendar year, he is the one who made the most money.What if Virat Played?Had Virat Kohli played the 2020 Final, Boxing Day Test against Australia won by India, he would have emerged as India's best cricketer ahead of Jasprit Bumrah. But due to paternity leave, this was not possible.Ravindra Jadeja is the third-highest paid cricketer.Rohit Sharma is not in the top fiveIndian Vice-Captain Rohit Sharma has yet to find a place in India's top five income countries this calendar year. This was due to the fact that due to fitness issues, the white ball leg was completely missed from the Australia Tour, as well as the first two test matches. The Junior was only able to play 3 ODI matches and 2 Match Test this calendar year, thus earning only Rs. 30 lakhs.Third on the list is Ravindra Jadeja, who has earned Rs. 96 lakhs over the course of a calendar year. The off-roader could have won more, but the injury kept him out of the starting line-up during the last two-quarters of the World Cup against Australia, as well as the first round in Adelaide.Also Read: Rajeev Shukla set to become BCCI vice-president

While it's easy to focus on the likes of Patrick Mahomes and LeBron James, American athletes aren't the only ones who can make huge sums of money. If you want proof of this fact, look no further than Roger Federer. During his time on the tennis court, the Swiss star earned more than his fair share of the cash.Although Roger Federer net worth is millions, Ace Tennis is not entirely obsessed with living the luxury life. In fact, you already have a simple plan for your retirement.Roger Federer’s legendary tennis careerIn the tennis world, some legendary names have stood the test of time. Although it hasn't been called a profession yet, it's actually safe to put Roger Federer in this category.Roger Federer appeared on the scene in the late 1990s, making a name for himself in the youth circle. Joined the ATP Tour as a teenager in the summer of 1998; The following year, he made his Grand Slam debut at the French Open.While there were some growing pains along the way, Roger Federer showed he had what it took to play at the highest level; In 2001, he dueled with Pete Sampras in a classic five-set match at Wimbledon. The Swiss star achieved final success in 2003, earning his first singles title at Grand Slam, defeating Andy Roddick at the All England Club. From there, the rest is history.Despite turning 39 in August 2020, Roger Federer is still a staple in the tennis world. The Swiss may have missed a step in recent years, but his resume - 20 Grand Slam titles, 11 runners-up times, and countless other records - speaks for itself.Also Read: Darts Rules: How To Play Darts | Players and equipment | ScoringTurning tennis success into a $450 million net worthDue to the individual nature of tennis, Roger Federer did not sign massive group contracts like most North American athletes. However, this fact did not prevent him from amassing a huge net worth.According to Forbes, Roger Federer has earned more than $ 130 million in profit over the years. However, these funds represent only a small portion of your earnings. Due to his stellar status, "the Swiss have an unparalleled portfolio of lucrative endorsement deals".Roger Federer has dealt with companies like Mercedes-Benz, Rolex, Credit Suisse, Barilla, and Wilson Sporting Goods, each generating millions of dollars annually. He also moved from Nike to Uniqlo in 2018, where he signed a 10-year deal worth $ 300 million.As you'd expect, these income streams combine to make Roger Federer incredibly rich. The Swiss star's net worth is estimated to be roughly $ 450 million.Roger Federer has a simple plan for his retirementNo professional athlete, not even a dominant player like Roger Federer, can keep playing forever; In the end, Father Time catches up with everyone. While the Swiss star isn't ready to call it a career yet, he knows exactly what he will do upon retirement.As per Roger Federer net worth, he could spend his free time doing whatever his heart desires. However, he seems to have a pretty casual plan up his sleeve.“After my career, I'm not going to sit on the couch,” Roger Federer told NZZ in German, according to a quote posted by Business Insider. "I recently bought an old bus from the 1960s. I can't wait to take it. Europe is small, everything is easily accessible. Traveling is easier than ever."While Ace Tennis is no stranger, your European retirement trip will be a little different; With no sporting obligations, Roger Federer will be ready to just relax."I would like to visit all the cities and countries in which I was a tennis player, completely relaxed and without the stress of sports," he explained.That feeling is something we can all deal with, even without millions of dollars in the bank.Also Read: Virat Kohli Net Worth 2020

The Rules of Carrom or KaromCarrom or Karom is a game that has long been played in India and Southeast Asia, but the game has become increasingly popular in most parts of the world over the past century. There are a lot of differences in the carrom rules though there are an international regulatory body and several major national bodies, even these differences in the carrom rules depending on the situation. Masters Games build the following carrom rules on the UK Carrom Club rules(Carrom Rules), adapting them for simplicity whenever possible.EquipmentThe following dimensions vary greatly and are only presented as an example of a tournament board. Carrom Board is a flat, square, and smooth wooden board that can be 72 cm or 74 cm square and should be placed 60 to 70 cm above the ground(some of the carrom Rules). At each corner there is a circular hole that can be 51 mm in diameter and under each hole, there is a grid to catch billiard-like pieces. Two lines are drawn on the table along the diagonals. These are "fault lines". In the center, there are two concentric circles: the central circle is the size of one piece, and the main circle is about six times larger in diameter. Outside the circles and slightly inward on each side of the board, there are two straight lines parallel to the edge of the board. The distance between them should be approximately 3.8 cm and the long, thin space between them before the diagonal fault lines at each end ends with a red circle of 3.8 cm in diameter. This thin rectangle with circles at each end is called the "baseline", and the nearest baseline to a player in the area from which the player's striker should play.There are nine dark or black pieces and nine-light or white pieces plus a red piece called the "Queen". The smooth wood pieces are slightly smaller than the front piece, which is between 3.8 cm and 4.4 cm in diameter. People often have their own strikes which can also be bone or dentin and are usually somewhat heavier than the cut, although they may vary in weight from one-half to four times the weight of the piece. On some boards, potato starch, chalk powder, or other lubricant is used to make the pieces slide more easily over the surface of the plate; The most common lubricant is boric acid.PreparationTo decide who goes first, the player must hold a hidden piece with one hand. If the opponent correctly guesses which hand, the opponent chooses who goes first, otherwise, he chooses the player who hides the piece. The person who plays first aims to put the white pieces in a pocket.The game is played by two opponents seated opposite each other. To start, the queen is placed in the center of the board. Six pieces are placed directly around the queen in a circle, each touching the queen and her neighbors. The remaining twelve pieces are placed around the inner circle of six, with each outer piece touching the inner circle. Pieces must be switched in both circles. The two circles were oriented so that the queen, a white piece of the inner circle, and a white piece of the outer circle were in a straight line indicating the center of the side of the board where the player who would play first sits.ObjectivePlayers take turns playing. The turn consists of one or more hits. The player wins by putting all the pieces of the chosen color in their pockets first. However, no player can win until one player has "covered the Queen". To cover the queen, the player must place one of his pieces in his pocket right after the queen's pocket. If the queen is in her pockets but not covered, the queen is returned to the board. Both players usually try to cover the queen in addition to trying to win the game because the player who wins and covers the queen also gets extra points.StrikingFor each shot, the player must place the striker inside the baseline or in one of the two circles at each end of the baseline.The front inside the baseline should touch both the front line and the backline.An attacker cannot "cut the moon": must be placed partly inside the baseline and partly inside the circle.The player must hit the striker with his finger in order to cross the front end line; It is not allowed to do this horizontally or backward.The striker must not hit the piece on or behind the forward baseline until the attacker has crossed the forward baseline.When hitting, the player's hand or arm must not cross the diagonal lines of the bean at either end of the baseline.Basic rulesIn the first round, the player is allowed three attempts to "break", that is, disturb the central set of counters.It doesn't matter which piece the attacker hits first and it doesn't matter if the attacker doesn't hit any.If the attacker punches the queen and/or one or more pieces of his color, the player retrieves the attacking player and makes another hit.If the player does not pocket any piece or makes a mistake, the turn ends.Also Read: Pickleball RulesCovering the QueenA player can only put a pocket and cover the Queen if that player already has at least one piece of that player's color.If a player pockets the Queen before he is allowed to cover her, the role continues, but the Queen returns to the center at the end of the turn.If the player places the Queen and one of his private pieces in the same role, that is important and that player has covered the Queen. The said player must have already obtained at least 1 Piece to cover the Queen as usual.When a player places the Queen in the pockets but does not cover them, the opponent returns the Queen as close as possible to the central circle.Other RulesThe pieces that are returned to the center can be placed above the other pieces within the main circle.If the pieces stand on their edge or overlap with another piece, they are left as they are until they are moved again in the normal course of play.If the firing pin stops under another part, the firing pin should be removed with the least possible discomfort in the cover part.FoulsWhen a player commits a foul, the turn ends immediately and a penalty is imposed. The penalty is for the opponent to return a pocket piece to the board anywhere within the main circle. Any other pieces that must be returned to the board are also placed inside the main circle by the opponent. Naturally, pieces are placed to give the opponent an advantage.The error is recorded in the following situations:The striker is pocketed.Leave the racket or any other piece of the board.The player places the opponent's piece. If the queen is also hit by the pocket, the opponent returns her to the center with the penalty piece. Any other pieces that were placed in the pocket on the same hit remain in the pocket.The player places the opponent's last piece. Regardless of whether or not the Queen is covered, the opponent's piece is returned to the center in addition to the penalty piece.The player places the last piece before covering the queen. In this case, both the pocket piece and the penalty piece are returned to the center.The player breaks the carrom rules of hitting.The player touches any piece in play, except for the front.The first player to attack fails to break the meters with three attempts.Where a penalty is incurred but no pocketed pieces exist to return, the penalty is "owed" until a piece becomes available. If a penalty is owed, when a piece becomes available due to being pocketed, the piece is returned to the center by the opponent at the end of the turn. Should the opponent forget to do this before the start of the next turn, any owed penalties are lost.ScoringAt the end of the game, the winner scores 1 point for each opponent's piece remaining on the board. If the winner also installs the queen, an additional 5 points are scored. Thus the game's maximum score is 14 points.Usually, the match is played at 29 points and the match is played, if the winner's score reaches 24 points or more, 5 additional points are not added to cover the Queen.DoublesCarrom rules play four people at a rate of two. For the doubles game, the partners sit opposite each other and the turns continue in a clockwise direction. Other than that, the game is exactly the same as in the singles game. However, the game has a different character, because the pieces behind the baseline can be safely left for the partner to handle, unlike the singles game where the pieces located behind the baseline can only be. It moves by an opponent or bounces off the edges of the board.Also Read: TEQBALL: Teqball Rules | Teqball Challenges | Teqball players

IPL Auctions 2021 - No major sponsor on board yet:The biggest cricket league in the world, the Indian Premier League (IPL), once again has no sponsors. The relationship between IPL and title sponsor Dream11 ended on December 31 with a very remote chance to renew the deal with the flagship fantasy platform. Neither the official IPL website (Iplt20.com) nor any of the IPL press releases bear the Dream11 name or logo.Senior BCCI Officer in Sponsor Status IPL 2021. We are told that it is likely that the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) will make a new bid for the main sponsor, as a return to the former sponsors VIVO is not possible."Bidding for the new main sponsor is the only possible option currently available. The IPL deal for 2020 was almost half of it and we cannot continue it. A return to LIVE is also unlikely in the current situation. A Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry official said:" The final decision will be made on the new bid. And sponsor the title soon. "It should be noted that BCCI suspended its 440 Cr sponsorship deal with VIVO in the wake of anti-China sentiment ahead of IPL 2020. This led to Dream11 entering as a title sponsor, but for 222Cr, which is nearly half the price of the VIVO bargain. While signing the agreement, Dream11 tried to negotiate with BCCI to extend the rights to IPL 2022 also at the same price. But BCCI held up and the deal was eventually signed for only one season, i.e. IPL 2020.Will the auction take place without the main sponsor on board?The Board of Directors decided to hold the IPL Auctions 2021 on February 18th in Chennai, which is less than 3 weeks old. It will be difficult for BCCI to terminate the main sponsor before IPL auctions 2021.The IPL Auction is a widely broadcast and televised event in which the Main Sponsor, in particular, earns a large number of Miles and it currently appears that the auction in Chennai will be held without the Main Sponsor.Options with BCCI -1) Renegotiate the deal with Dream11:- Seems unlikely. This could put BCCI in a legal mess. The title sponsorship tender published by BCCI prior to the IPL 2020 was for only one year and if BCCI decided to renegotiate the agreement with Dream11 for another year, that would be contrary to the terms of the bid and could be challenged by the competing parties.2) Return to VIVO:- BCCI has all contractual rights to return to VIVO as the main sponsor. But the question is, will they risk defying the public sentiment that is still against China and Chinese companies? Once again, the choice appears unlikely.3) Bid for the main sponsor:-This appears to be the most feasible option in the current circumstances. This gives everyone involved a fair chance. Even BCCI can get a prime sponsor of similar value to what VIVO promised thanks to the massive audience numbers of IPL 2020.The problem with choice is lack of time. The Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) is unlikely to launch a tender in the next few days and complete the paperwork ahead of IPL auctions 2021.So don't be surprised if auctions for the world's largest cricket league take place without a major sponsor on board on February 18.Also Read: India vs England 2021 | England tour of India Full Schedule, venue, dates - All you need to know

IPL 2021 Big Update: Chinese mobile maker Vivo, which has suspended its IPL sponsorship rights for the 2020 edition, is considering exiting the Indian Premier League by transferring its rights to Interested bidders, which may include Dream11 fantasy gaming platform and startup Unacademy Tech Education.Dream11 was the IPL title sponsor for the 2020 release, taking the rights to Rs 222 crore, which is nearly half (Rs 440 crore) of what Vivo paid annually for a five-year contract.It is understood that in the prevailing situation where the geopolitical relations between China and India are in a delicate state, Vivo realizes that it is unwise to continue the partnership for the remaining two years.“It is almost final for Vivo to exit the IPL address sponsorship agreement by mutual consent with the board. It has been suspended for the 2020 edition. However, there is a clause that allows them to transfer their outstanding responsibilities as sole sponsors for the title to the new winner. If the board agrees in principle, it could happen.

Soon after, Ashwin knocked out Sibley (16) and England dropped to 16/2 in eighth.Skipper Joe Root (6) failed to leave a mark when he defeated the ball sent by Axar Patel, as a result of which the left arm turnover scored his first test cricket lead.

Indian hockey striker Dilpreet Singh, who was training at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Center in Bangalore as part of the potential major-male group, plans to make the cut in the Round of 16 final that he will represent to India in the prestigious Tokyo Olympics, set to begin in July.The 21-year-old striker said that since there are no major competitions in 2020 affected by the epidemic, he takes every training session as an opportunity to make a strong case for a place on the Olympic team. We don't want to worry about factors that are not under our control. I don't want to wait for the chance to play a match for India to defend myself but to make the most of the opportunity here in the camp to show my skills and prove myself. "We give 100 percent of each training session," Dilpreet said in a statement.Speaking of his development and the opportunity for him to train with senior players again in the camp, the youngster added: "I've been working on my technical game. I improved my end. Watching the older players playing and spending time with them helps the younger players gain confidence and of course improve." We ask our veteran players for advice and guidance, and they have been of great help to us at all times. "Dilpreet, who was part of the teams that won the silver and bronze medals at the Breda Hockey Champions Cup 2018 and Asian Games 2018, respectively, returned to the junior starting group after the 2018 World Cup.Speaking of the omission, the boy from Amritsar said, “I was very upset with myself because I was a part of almost every major tournament and I was looking forward to appearing in the Olympics as well. But the omission of the senior core group affected me so much and made me realize that I had squandered the golden opportunity and I had to work harder. "However, a year later, after doing well in potential youth basics, Dilpreet was called up for the FIH Pro League match against World Champion Belgium."I started from scratch. I trained hard in the junior camp to at least get a place in the first team. He used to follow every first-team training exercise. I was in constant contact with the top players for that and asked them for guidance, and finally, in 2020, I'm back." "To the main group of the FIH Hockey Pro League. The postponement of the Olympic Games gave players like me the opportunity to improve the situation and make the most of it. The choice of teams is not in my hands, I focus on giving 100 percent on the field and improving day after day."Also Read: The 47th FIH Statutory Congress will happen in Delhi

Heading into Test 3 against England, India has a lot to think about when it comes to picking the eleventh man in the eleventh game. The third round will be a day/night pink ball match at Ahmedabad Baker Stadium which opens up different possibilities as the conditions are not so simple. According to the sources, the team management has not yet decided whether to play 3 rotors or 3 pacemakers in the third test. For this reason: Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Hardik Pandya, and Muhammad Siraj have been asked by the team management to remain ready for the match.India’s Playing XI for 3rd Test:Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant, R.Ashwin, Axar Patel, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah Fight for 11th Spot between – Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Hardik Pandya, and Mohammed SirajIndia vs England 3rd Test – Why so much uncertainty over playing XI?Reason: In the second test in Chennai, where the wicket was a band controller, India came out with three spindles and two pacemakers. But the day/night test is a different game. Not only does the SG ball have a thick lacquer coating to prevent wear and tear, but the field is also expected to have some turf to hold it together for five days.All this points to a snacker's help, at least for the first day. But if the pitch is set up in such a way as to assist spinners like the first two tests in Chennai, it would be preferred to use the third rotor, which can provide the depth of hitting. There are three options: Kuldeep Yadav or Washington Sunder.For a simple and fourth option, India has to choose between Hardik Pandya or Muhammad Siraj, and Umesh Yadav has a choice in the eleventh.PINK Ball Test – 3rd Spinner or the 3rd Pacer in Indian XI?With Ravindra Jadeja absent due to injury, the selection of the Indian team was a nuisance. In his absence, the main question was about who would partner with Ravichandran Ashwin. Before the third test, it can be assumed that India will present Ashwin and Axar Patel, who passed the second test. But the option to place a third roulette game cannot be ruled out.Kuldeep Yadav: Kuldeep's contribution to India's victory in the second Test was very limited. He only threw 12.2 exaggerated and closed two windows. With the bat, he fell on the flop, scoring three runs. But it is only vertigo on the team, and it might come in handy in day/night conditions.Washington Sunder: One of the options India could go along with, the Washington Sunder is a player who can strike well to provide India with a depth that reaches into India. If Sayed Mushtaq Ali Cup matches were considered, Motera Stadium could be easy to turn, meaning that aside from Ashwin and Patel, Sander might be the other option.- Indian bowlers got 19 wickets per match and they all went with pacemakers.- Indian spinners Ashwin & Jadeja only fired 7 savers in 2 rounds with no success.Third pacer slot:Here the circumstances are at stake. Since the test is a day/night thing, dew can be a factor like the lawn on the court. Furthermore, the only day/night test in India in Eden Gardens against Bangladesh showed that the locksmiths rule the ball with the pink ball, returning 19 fields for the match.With Muhammad al-Shami injured, as well as Bumrah and Ishant Sharma, who will be playing their 100th Test, India can put in a third pacemaker as the hitting lineup is expected to remain the same unless they retire due to late injuries.Umesh Yadav: Umesh Yadav, one of the pacemakers featured on India's first day/night test at Eden Gardens, has an impressive record at home. In his last five home events, Yadav has won 33 wickets. But as he returns from the injury, it could be risky to press him too soon. However, it could still be the third-best pacemaker choice in India if the team management decided to opt for a specialized pacemaker and the players failed to make much progress.Hardik Pandya: Looking at bowlers who have limited hitting skills other than Ashwin, Pandya might be the perfect guy to enter the game XI. He can strike and he can be a pacemaker between half and he can play 10-15 games a day. But Pandya is also back from an injury and throwing 15 times a day could become a problem. If chosen, it will be after a long absence of more than two years.Also Read: INDIA vs ENGLAND 2nd Test: Ashwins solid century helps India set 482-run target for England

IPL 2021 – CSK Skoda deal falls apart: The Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) did not start well for MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings. First, Mutout, the long-term front-shirt partner refused to renew the title sponsorship contract with Team Doni. Now the deal with Czech car manufacturer Skoda has collapsed in favor of CSK.It is noteworthy that Skoda has been reported to have signed a 25 Cr deal with CSK as the main sponsor of IPL 2021. But for unknown reasons, Skoda decided to withdraw from the deal. According to CSK management sources, online fashion company Myntra is listed as CSK's new senior partner for this season.We contacted Myntra management, but they declined to confirm the development. It is worth noting that the agreement between CSK-Myntra will be in the range of 22-23 kronor, which is slightly less than what CSK expected from the market.Founded in 2007, Flipkart acquired Myntra in 2014. The company later acquired the online fashion store Jabong in 2016. Since then, it has grown into one of the largest online fashion sites in the country.Is performance the reason why CSK is struggling with sponsorships?MS Dhoni’s CSK has always been a hit with sponsors. Three of the IPL champions did not fight for endorsements. According to some industry experts, things have changed now. Team performance in the IPL 2020 and team age may influence the CSK this year according to a few experts.“IPL is all about performance. When CSK was performing, Dhoni was on top of the world – brands were lining up CSK’s doors. With performance getting patchy by the day and Dhoni in retirement mode – it will be a little tough for CSK this year”, according to one of the top industry experts dealing in IPL team sponsorships since its inception.CSK’s squad for IPL 2021CSK retained players – MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, N Jagadeesan, Faf Du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sam Curran, Ravi Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Mitchell Santner, Josh Hazlewood, Shardul Thakur, Karn Sharma, KM Asif, Imran Tahir, R.

The World Trade Center Finals will be played on June 18.If the IPL 2021 Finals end on June 6 as previously planned, it will be difficult for the Indian team to acclimate to the testing format at any given time. Also, to fulfill the current Covid-19 regulations in the UK, India will have to arrive at least 7-8 days in advance.Currently, many of the 'yes' and 'but' are related to the IPL deadlines and schedule. A senior BCCI official, “We have several things to consider before we start with the IPL 2021 deadlines and the WTC Finals is one of them.” End of IPL 2021: The European Central Bank also wants IPL 2021 to end at the end of MayOn the other hand, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) also wants England's IPL players to terminate their IPL commitments at the end of May so they can take part in two Test Series against New Zealand. The first round of the Test Series between England and New Zealand starts on June 2 and the European Central Bank wants players like Ben Stokes, Joss Butler, Johnny Bairstow, and Jofra Archer to be available for the match against the world's No. 1 ranked Kiwi.Under the UK's sporting elite exemption, British cricketers can resume training and play here upon their return from abroad if they are in a regulated tournament bubble-like IPL and test negative for Covid. -19 Before embarking on your journey.IPL 2021: IPL Chairman Brigesh Patel Says GC Meeting Soon "Will Address Franchise Concerns"IPL 2021 - IPL GC Meeting: Meanwhile, when IPL President GC Brijesh Patel contacted Thursday for his official copy of IPL 2021 dates, schedule, and venues, he reported that all issues will be addressed at the IPL Board of Directors meeting.

Rohit Sharma has returned to the Indian T20 as well as the Rishabh Pant form. So where does this leave Kuala Lumpur Rahul's 11th India center? Rishabh Pant's phenomenal return will lead to many interesting developments at the top of the ranking.The Pant's inclusion means that KL Rahul, who until a few months ago was a goalkeeper's first choice, is unlikely to be wearing large gloves. Both Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma were key players at the start of the match until recently, but Rahul's emergence as a strong white-ball specialist sparked the competition.Dhawan recently earned a score of 150 in the Vijay Hazare Cup for Delhi, and when it comes to Rohit, there's nothing to dispute.So where does team management fit in with Rahul, who was a successful player in the IPL? Will he be placed in the middle-ranking because Dhawan is not suitable for hitting less? These are two closely related questions and there will be a follow-up question in the answer.With Captain Kohli himself in third and two revolutionaries like Pant and multi-level player Hardik Pandya expected to play the big shots in fifth and sixth places, where would you best leave Rahul? The only place it can be assigned is number 4, but Shreyas Iyer and Suriyakumar Yadav are also fighting for a place.If one closely follows the XI player picking pattern, Surya, the emotional favorite, will have to wait for his turn because Shreyas has done nothing wrong.But when it comes to a three-way fight between Rahul, Shreyas, and Surya, the man from Karnataka defeats the boys from Mumbai with his combination of punches and the ability to shift gears.This means that among KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Surya, only one will make it to Indian Play XI.India Playing XI – Headache is a bowling combination too? Likewise, in the percussion section, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, once India's greatest white ball advocate, returns after a long break and will face a duo fight with Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur.For Bhuvneshwar, his experience and being a better Rami player in death compared to Shahar puts him in good shape, but he hasn't played much cricket except for some Mushtaq Ali matches.The same goes for Chahar, the tough bowler who excels at swinging but is more than just one trick with no contrast during the tenth stroke. Shardul is a cunning soccer player who can swing him at a fast pace and between the three of them, he can use the long handle to get the best spin.Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, and Axar Patel are the three expected winners in the eleventh game on the Slow Cliffs of Motera. In another three-way fight, Thangarasu Natarajan, with his variety of yorkers, has a better chance to start compared to Navdeep Saini.In total, there are far too many good players and too little space for them all with three safe choices: Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jaspreet Bumrah who are already resting or recovering from injury.Once they return, that will be a major concern of management, but they won't mind.India’s T20I squad: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Ishan Kishan (wicket-keeper), Yuzvendra Chahal, Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur.Also Read: Kieron Pollard hits Six 6s in an over against Sri Lanka
UEFA Champions League Live: Juventus FC vs Porto: After a head-to-head match, the 10-man Porto advanced to the next round of the UEFA Champions League despite losing 3-2 at Allianz Stadium.After beating Lazio 2 goals, Pirlo made 3 changes to the starting line-up. Leonardo Bonucci entered the defense to replace Bernadcci, Arthur replaced the suspended Danilo, and Cristiano Ronaldo was chosen before Dejan Kulusevski.Porto stuns Juventus: visitors take the initiativeIt took the Portuguese team just 19 minutes to top the lead in the draw. It was Corona who pushed the ball to Marija's right side, who quickly directed it at Taremi.Tarimi protected him from a Demiral who caught him from behind trying to catch the ball, but the referee, after consulting with the VAR, pointed the point in the 17th minute. It was Sergio Oliveira who placed the penalty kick in the lower-left corner to send it. Chase the wrong way in the 19th minute.Juventus vs Porto: Federico Chiesa's magic gives Juventus a tie and the main goalThe teams entered the first half and Juventus lost in the second half. However, it didn't take long in the second half to find the equalizer when Federico Chiesa hit a sudden forehand past Marchesen in the upper right corner.Within his two goals with an advanced goal for the Italian national team. In the grand scheme of things, Juventus equalized in the 63rd minute when Cuadrado moved one meter of space to the right side of the field to direct a dramatic cross to the far post.It was Kiza who got the ball header. The video assistant referee confirmed the Italian player's exit and stopping the goal.Juventus x Porto: The match went into extra timePorto score the equalizerRabiot sarcastically dropped Diaz for a yellow card and took a silly free-kick. It was Sergio Oliveira who completed his brace by finishing a low free-kick under the wall. Szczesny managed to get it but couldn't help himself as Porto scored his second away goal in the 115th minute.Juventus' counterattackIt only took another two minutes for Andrea Pirlo's men to lead the game. They were still losing their equalizing goals, but Adrien Rabiot rose high in the center of the area to header past Marchesen in the upper left corner.Porto fired a possible penalty in the 120th minute, but the VAR referee denied this.FC Porto is advancing in the Champions League quarter-finals.Also Read: FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2020-21
With Rohit Sharma returning to the T20I, India captain Virat Kohli confirmed that his first partner would be KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan would be with the team as a third start.“We cannot accommodate all three openers in the playing XI. Out of Dhawan and Rahul, only one will find a place in the XI. KL (Rahul) and Rohit (Sharma) have been consistent performers. Those two will start,” Virat Kohli said at a hypothetical press conference ahead of India's first T20I match against England on Friday in Ahmedabad.India faced a dilemma in picking first place against England in the five-game T20I series, as Rohit's return to the team would mean Rahul or Dhawan are excluded. Dhawan was not, however, in bad shape, scoring half a century against Australia and following him by 153 in the Vijay Hazare Cup. But in Rahul, India, you get an exploding opener that can slow you down depending on the situation. Rahul's vector preservation abilities are an added bonus as well.“It’s quite simple, KL and Rohit have been performing at the top of the order for us and those two would start. If Rohit takes a rest or KL has a niggle or something Shikki (Shikhar Dhawan) obviously comes back as a third opener,” Kohli said.Virat Kohli's decision to go with Rahul in place of Dhawan was supported by former India batsman at VS Laxman and former coach MSK Prasad. Laxman said that given the T20 World Cup, Rahul would be a better pick despite Dwan's level.“It will be a tough question, as far as the selection of the second opener is concerned. There’s no doubt about that because Rohit Sharma is an automatic choice in white-ball cricket. I will still go with KL Rahul because over the last few months and years I think the Indian team management went with KL Rahul as an opening batsman and he has done really well in that position,” Laxman said on Star Sports’ Cricket Connected show.Ind vs Eng 1st T20: ‘Bhuvneshwar Kumar key to India’s plans’The other place already occupied in the starting line-up against England is Hovneshwar Kumar's pacemaker. Bovanishwar, returning from injury, will lead India's swift attack in the absence of Jaspert Bumrah and Muhammad Shami. Kohli said throwing the UP remains key to India's plans for the T20 World Cup to be held in India in October.“Bhuvneshwar is shaping up really well. He's back, he's in good shape. He has done very well to get back to his highs and looks like a smart worker, and we've seen him in the past. He continues to bring this experience to the field that will be vital to us.” Kohli said at the conference The journalist "has a clear understanding of what he wants to do in the future."Bhuvneshwar last played for India in the T20I series against the West Indies in December 2019 and was sidelined due to injury. But he returned to IPL and local cricket after his recovery.“He wants to contribute towards many more Indian wins in the coming months. Obviously in the T20 World Cup, we would need our most experienced T20 bowler and he is right up there with anyone else in the world in the start, in the middle, and in the death as well. He is a guy you can bank on and I am very glad to have him back. Hopefully, he can build strongly from here and be as ready as he is now for the World Cup,” Kohli said.Also Read: IPL 2021 DATES
India beat world number 1 England by 7 wickets to draw the 5-match series 1-1. Virat Kohli and rookie Ishan Kishan made impressive shots in the Indian victory by chasing a goal that scored 165 times with two goals.Brilliant Kishan scored in his debut 56 (32 balls).On the other hand, Captain Virat Kohli was unbeaten in 73 out of 49 balls. Kohli completed his 26th place in the international T20 and in the process became the first player to score 3000 T20.In the center, Rishabh Pant played a small cameo with 12 balls out of 26 times.IND beat ENG in 2nd T20: Earlier, India started very poorly, with KL Rahul being returned to the wing without scoring any goals. But Virat Kohli with apprentice Ishan Kishan played brilliantly to lead India on the path to victory.They both added 94 seconds to wicket 60 balls. Ishan Kishan looks particularly good, scoring 56 with 4 Sixes and 5 Limit punches.Kishan's debut with Suryakumar Yadav begins today as Virat Kohli decided once again to put Rohit Sharma to rest.IND defeated ENG in 2nd T20 - Indian bowlers broke out in death to limit England to 164/6. In the last 5 hikes, Indian bowlers Shardul Thakur, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Hardik Pandya have only given 35 shots and have not allowed England to finish the boom.IND beat ENG by 7 WICKETS, wins 2nd T20 – Series Tied at 1-1Follow Live Updates – Indian Innings –Batsmen RB4S6SSRLokesh Rahulc Jos Buttler b SM Curran06000.00Ishan Kishanlbw b AU Rashid563254175.00Virat Kohli (C)Not out734953148.98Rishabh Pant (WK)c JM Bairstow b CJ Jordan261322200.00Shreyas IyerNot out8800100.00Extra3 (b 0, w 1, nb 1, lb 1)Total166/3 (17.5)Yet to BatSA Yadav, HH Pandya, Washington Sundar, SN Thakur, B Kumar, YS ChahalBOWLINGOMRWECONSam Curran412215.50Jofra Archer402406.00Chris Jordan2.5038113.41Tom Curran2026013.00Ben Stokes1017017.00Adil Rashid403819.50England Innings- 164/6 in 20 overs Batsmen RB4S6SSRJason Royc B Kumar b Washington Sundar463542131.43Jos Buttler (WK)lbw b B Kumar01000.00Dawid Malanlbw b YS Chahal242340104.35Jonny Bairstowc SA Yadav b Washington Sundar201511133.33Eoin Morgan (C)c RR Pant b SN Thakur282040140.00Ben Stokesc HH Pandya b SN Thakur242110114.29Sam CurranNot out6510120.00Chris JordanNot out00000.00Extra16 (b 1, w 5, nb 0, lb 10)Total164/6 (20)Yet To BatTK Curran, Jofra Archer, AU Rashid BOWLINGOMRWECONBhuvneshwar Kumar402817.00Washington Sundar402927.25Shardul Thakur402927.25Hardik Pandya403308.25Yuzvendra Chahal403418.50INDIA vs ENGLAND 2nd T20: Surya Kumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan are making debuts today.

The 50 slopes of Ishan Kishan at the 2nd International T20 Meeting between India and England made Shekhar Dhawan's way back in the Indian T20 chart of things very difficult. Ishan has been talked about as a talent since his age-group days, but there was a small crack in his armor. The young man had difficulty knowing when to attack and when to defend. But all of this appears to be fading after he led India to a 7 wicket win with 56 of 32 impressive balls.India captain Virat Kohli, who collaborated 94 of 54 balls with the lefty hitter, was among the first to give Ishan the credit for the win. "A special reference to Ishan, the way he's struck," Kohli said in the presentation. "It completely changed the game. We were one for nothing. I tried to do my best, but then I took the game completely away from the competitors. Follow his instincts. Hit the quality at the start."Ishan's rise has put Dhawan in a very difficult position. The Delhi-born was the winner of the India match at ICC events, but with a decline in the form of new names making their way into the squad, the team leader may have to make very tough decisions in the coming days.Ishan Kishan arrives, where Shikhar Dhawan in Indian XI stands Dhawan's biggest advantage to India is his attacking style at the top, as well as the advantage of being left-handed.In comparison, Ishan Kishan is more aggressive in his approach. With him, the combination of left and right on top is still intactDhawan breaks down the bowlers on top and his temperament is top-notch. Kishan is capable of destroying attacks, but his temper will only be measured when he faces more difficult situations than he faced on Sunday.Ishan Kishan's ability to 6 hits is a huge advantage over Dhawan. His 30 games in IPL & 4 vs Eng at 2nd T20 are great proof of that.Another feature Kishan brings is his skill as a dedicated wicketkeeper. He could be a huge endorsement of Rishabh Pant.Duane clearly has a tough competition now with the arrival of Ishan KishanRelying on a game he mastered under the strict supervision of four-time Indian Premier League Champions (IPL) Mumbai Indians (MI), Ishan was the biggest team between India and England. Show all the qualities of the "X factor" that Kohli talks about often.“When you play in the IPL with as dominant as him, against the high-end bowlers, we saw him hitting the international speed bowlers with six top players,” Kohli said."He's a daring character. You should continue to support your instincts. We had a conversation in the middle where he understood and analyzed the game very intelligently. He knew he was hitting the ball really well, so he kept using his chances. But it was counted. He was not reckless. That's what you want to see at Youth… The attendance, it looks great, is still retreating but with the realization of the game situation and I think today that the counter-roles for him and our partner [94 rounds of 54 balls] were something the team needed and presented. The team.”Ishan Kishan’s arrival can be bad news for Rahul too?Rahul now faces stiff competition from Ishan. Karnataka's hitter has not been able to utilize his potential in the series yet. In the two matches he played, Rahul was back on a golden duck.Rohit, who missed his first two matches against England, will definitely be with the Indian national team for the T20 World Cup in October. But outside Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, and Ishan Kishan - the team leader will have to rule out 1. In the current scheme of things, Kishan will have little advantage over his big counterparts.Also Read: VIRAT KOHLI, ISHAN KISHAN SCORE BRILLIANT HALF CENTURIES, INDIA COMFORTABLY BEAT ENGLAND BY 7 WICKETS
India team dropped 2--1 in the 5-match T20 series. One misstep, India will lose the series at home against England. This is why Indian captain Virat Kohli is in trouble. The decision to be made by Virat and the Indian Research Center has to do with KL Rahul's struggle.India v England: KL Rahul has had three failures: Virat Kohli now has to decide whether to continue with Rahul and remain involved in one of his most trusted lieutenants or move on to other options and save the series.While Virat Kohli and India coach Vikram Rathore supported Rahul on top, saying he had been the best hitter in T20 for the past 2-3 years, along with other players on the team, it would be tough to justify inclusion. In the eleventh play of the fourth T20."Those things change very quickly. For us, he's been a hero. If you look at their stats over the past two or three years, they are probably better than everyone else in world cricket in the T20s. One of our best hitters will still be with Rohit in the part." We have no worries there. T20 is a very instinctive game. We know that once you start playing positive and you get some shots, it's about five or six balls like this, and all of a sudden they return to that area, "Kohli said after the match.Rahul also had Rathore's endorsement. The Indian striking coach said Rahul was India's top hitter in T20 with an average of over 40 in the past year."Anyone can go through the lean phase. Last year, I think KL was our best hitter in the T20 format. He averages over 40 with a strike rate of 145. So three mistakes don't change that fact. He's probably the best hitter we have at this." He did well for us last year. I think this is the moment when we need his support as a team. I am absolutely sure that he will come out of this difficult phase that he is going through, "Rathore said at the post-match press conference.India Playing XI for 4th T20: Should KL Rahul continue?After the captain and coach's remarks, despite grades 1, 0, and 0, ITRC will likely continue with Rahul and Rohit Sharma in the lead. But if Rahul fails again and India loses, the same think-tank will have some tough questions to answer before the match.India Playing XI for 4th T20: Should Yuzvendra Chahal make way for Axar Patel?India vs England: While there has been a lot of talk about the inauguration of India, the performance of the Indian leader, Chahal, is now also subject to the scanner. Chahal was unable to simulate his performance in IPL for India. In his last 12 games by T20I, Chahal has averaged 43.6 and an economy of 9.27. In his third T20 against England, he came back with expensive numbers, conceding 41 points in 4 sums.This is not talking about Chahal being included in India's eleventh game for the fourth T20. Alternatively, with Washington Sundar performing well as a second-round, Axar Patel could lead the India cargo, especially after his rich exploits in the Test series against England. Although he played in 1st T20, he did not complete his quota, conceding 24 times in three runs without any wicket. But given Chahal's bad form on the show, Patel might wink in front of him.IND vs ENG: INDIA Likely Playing XI – 3rd T20Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel / Yuzvendra Chahal, Shardul Thakur & Bhuvneshwar KumarAlso Read: Virat Kohli: Superb looking tattoos and their meaning

With India striker Shreyas Iyer excluded from current Ind vs Eng series and unlikely to be available for IPL 2021, the big question is who will lead Delhi Capitals in this year's IPL. According to sources at Delhi Capitals (DC), Rishabh Pant, India's biggest match-winner of the past six months, is likely to be responsible for driving DC during the season.Based on the information available, DC promoters Kiran Kumar Gandhi and Barth Jindal in consultation with Coach Ricky Ponting will receive the last call soon."The team is still gathering all the information about Shreyas' injury case. The team promoters and head coach will make the final decision on who will coach us, but it is clear that Rishabh Pant Deputy Commander should be the automatic selection," said one of the sources closely associated with the Delhi Capitals.Besides Pant, Delhi Capitals has a few other candidates such as Ajinkya Rahane, Steven Smith, Shikhar Dhawan, and R Ashwin in the team who have had experience with a leading IPL franchise in the past, but DC is unlikely to look to another source. . Beyond the pant.According to the source, the Delhi Capitals management is likely to announce the name of the new captain before the end of this week.IPL 2021: What is the status of Shreyas Aire? Will it be available for the second stage of the IPL?Shreyas Iyer dislocated his shoulder while playing during the first ODI match between India and England on Tuesday. Based on the information available, Ayer is currently in severe pain and is likely to undergo surgery.In the event that Iyer undergoes surgery, he will be out of the game for at least 4 months. As a second scenario, if surgery is not required, it will take at least 6 to 8 weeks to return. In both scenarios, Iyer is unlikely to appear in IPL 202I this year."You will have to undergo surgery. So it not only looks like the first part of an IPL, but Iyer will miss the IPL completely. It could take at least four months before you can go online again. A source said the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry" Severe pain. "Iyer took the helm of the Delhi team in mid-2018 and under his leadership, the team has performed well since then, once they reached the play-off rounds as well as last season.Ayer is unlikely to play for English County Lancashire in the one-day tournament. On Monday, Lancashire announced that Iyer would sign the tournament, starting July 23.Iyer, 26, suffered the injury in the eighth inning of England when he dived into Johnny Bayerstow's blast from Chardoll Thakur's pacemaker. He looked with great pain as he left the field, clutching his shoulder.DC will not only miss Ayer as the leader but also as a formidable hitter.

With DC captain Shreyas Air disqualified for the entire IPL season, the Delhi Capitals management called an emergency meeting to decide on the seasoned captain. Based on the information available, DC promoters Kiran Kumar Gandhi and Barth Jindal along with Coach Ricky Bunting will be participating in a conference call today to decide on the captain's name for the IPL 2021.We were informed on Thursday that Rishabh Pant is the preferred candidate to lead the Delhi Capitals. The DC promoters, the coach, and a few other members of the administration will likely give their stamp of approval to the same, although according to the sources, deliberations on some other names are not excluded."The team promoters and the head coach will make the final decision on who will coach us, but it is clear that Rishabh Pant Deputy Commander should be the automatic choice," said one of the sources closely associated with Delhi Capitals.IPL 2021 Delhi Capitals Captaincy – Names that can be discussed for captaincy role?Besides Pant, the capitals of Delhi currently have several options for the position of captain. They have Ajinkya Rahane, Steven Smith, and R Ashwin in their ranks. All of these names have experience from the leading IPL franchise in the past, but the source told us that DC is unlikely to look beyond Pant.Of all the potential candidates, only Pant is not an IPL franchise yet.Ashwin - Leading Indian superstar KingsXI Punjab for two seasons in 2018, 2019. Overall, Ashwin has 28 games experience, 12 wins, and 16 lost. His record for KXIP was not overly encouraging. Although considered one of the game's best readers, DC is unlikely to hold back in handing the Captain to a player who has failed as captain with some other perks.Stephen Smith - 43 games, 25 won, lost 17. Smith has a lot of experience driving the IPL franchises, but what works against him is that his place in the squad is not very secure. He also failed to live up to expectations as captain of the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2020; There is no chance that the metropolitan administration will give Smith leadershipAjinkya Rahane - Highly successful as captain of the Indian Test Team in Australia. But he has had a captain disaster for the Rajasthan Royals, he's unlikely to go with Rahani as captain. His team captain's record says: 25 matches: 9 won and 16 lost.By comparison, Rishabh Pant has never led the IPL franchise, but her enthusiasm, current form and most importantly, aggressive mindset works in her favor. Additionally, DC has groomed him as a future leader over the past two years by appointing him as Deputy Leader in 2019, 2020. All this indicates that the Delhi team is unlikely to look beyond Pant to gain the lead role.IPL 2021: DC Captain Shreyas Iyer to undergo surgery on April 8thIPL 2021 - Shreyas Iyer Injury: The Shreyas Iyer injured shoulder has been confirmed ready for surgery. According to information from BCCI sources, Iyer's surgery will take place on April 8 and will not only miss the IPL 2021, but also will not be available for the England tour.The Delhi Capital captain dislocated his shoulder on Monday while playing during the first international match of the England Series.Now, in consultation with the BCCI medical team, it is decided that Iyer will have the surgery on April 8th.

IPL 2021 New Rules: The BCCI said, in its revised IPL 2021 playing terms, which have been traded among franchisees, that 20 must be completed within 90 minutes. Previously, you should have started the 22nd in the 90th minute.According to Cricbuzz, the BCCI said: "As a match control measure, the number 20 has been included in each half now at 90 minutes, and the 22nd previously had to start at the 90th minute or earlier."In developing this point, the BCCI said: “The minimum bonus rate to be achieved in IPL matches would be 14.11 hourly bonuses (ignoring the time-out required).In non-stop matches, this means that the 20th Final must end within 90 minutes (85 minutes of playing time plus 5 minutes of time-out) from the start of the innings. For late-stage or intermittent matches in which the turn is scheduled to be less than 20 bonuses, the maximum time of 90 minutes will be reduced by 4 minutes and 15 seconds for each time the innings are reduced. "By thinking more about timing, the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry entrusted him with the responsibility of ensuring the verdict of the fourth referee and giving him the power to warn the hitter if he indulged in time-wasting tactics. "In the event that time allocations are given to the field team under clause 12.7.3.4 above (loss of time by the hitting team), this time will be deducted from the allocations granted to the hitting team mentioned in determining your surplus rate. The fourth referee must ensure that the leader of the hitting (if not He is not at the gate) and the team manager is aware of any warnings. "IPL 2021 New Rules: 90-minute time restriction and no soft signalBCCI removed the soft signal base in the IPL. According to the new rule, the soft signal from the court ruling will not affect the third ruling. The BCCI stated that “a field judgment that gives a soft signal when the decision is referred to the third referee will not be applicable”.Reflecting on this, the BCCI said: “If both officials in the field need the help of the third referee to make a decision, the final referee of the shooter will first make a decision on the field after consulting with the referee's final referee. Forward, before consulting with a two-way radio with The third verdictSuch consultation will be initiated by the final referee of the player aiming for the third referee by making the shape of the TV screen with his own hands. The third referee will determine whether the hitter has been caught, whether the pitch is a hit, or whether the hitter has intentionally obstructed the field. In the event of a fair reception, the third referee will use all available technical support. The third referee will inform his decision. "IPL 2021 New Rules: 90-minute time restriction and no soft signalThere was a clamor to abolish the soft signal in the cricket world and it was India's patron Virat Kohli who spoke out the most against Al Qaeda. He was also against the ruling on LBW's decisions, but BCCI decided to go ahead. "The referee's call is the concept within the DRS according to which the final referee's decision will remain on the field, and which will be applied under the specified circumstances where the ball-tracking technology indicates a marginal decision regarding the area of influence or the wicket zone (sic)."The BCCI also revised the short-term decision of the arbitrators. The third referee is authorized to override the outside referee's decision to reduce one set of the hitting team's total. There were a lot of controversies last year during the Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) and Delhi Capitals match where a short-term decision proved incorrect by the square match referee was costly to the Punjab team.New IPL 2021 Rules: BCCI emphasizes a 90-minute time restriction and no weak signal.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will begin their 2021 IPL campaign on Monday at Wankhede Stadium. RR will take the field under new leadership led by Kumar Sangakkara and led by Sanju Samson. His first assignment will be to pick a strong and stable starting pair, a crucial factor behind the inaugural champion's poor performance last season.Based on the news coming from the Royals' camouflage, it's very likely that RR will choose the UK bursting duo Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler. Skipper Samson, while unwilling to reveal his cards publicly, said junior players will have a long rope this season."It depends. I can't tell you anything. I and Sanja (Kara) will try to provide the best combination for our team and in fact it is always necessary to give the spouses or individuals enough time in the tournament. So I think it will show a little. Of stability, the rest depends on the way we go." Sanju Samson stated."I think it is a decision that we will make with the total purchase of the players involved. We want to keep our options open. The most important thing is for the players to be clearly informed of their choices and make them abide by them." Said RR Manager Cricket Kumar SangakkaraIPL 2021 RR Playing XI vs PBKS: Why Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes will be a good choice as openers?Last season, the Rajasthan franchise tried five sets starting in Butler-Steve Smith, Yashasoi Jaiswal-Butler and Jaiswal-Smith. There was also a chance to pair Stokes-Buttler, but only for two games, only to settle for Stokes-Robin Uthappa in the end.The English couple's first match together was an opening against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The new role affected them and both left cheaply. While Stoke scored five runs, Butler was sent off for 16. However, there was a significant improvement in the second match against the Delhi Capitals. They sewed an inaugural partnership of 63 races. Stokes has contributed 41 times, while Butler has 22 times to his name.But its current form is most important to the RR when choosing a starting pair. The duo were in great shape in the recently concluded White Ball series against India. Second-best goalscorer for Stokes' national team, with 135 points in three matches. On the other hand, Buttler had an influence on the shorter version of the game. He was the best contestant on his team and second overall behind Indian team captain Virat Kohli. In three matches, the goalkeeper scored 172 points.England and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Ewen Morgan also believes that Joss Butler and Ben Stokes would be the right and most exciting choice for Rajasthan to start their roles. "The two obviously will open to Rajasthan this year in the IPL. So it would be great to see it."IPL 2021 RR Playing XI vs PBKS: What will be the batting line-up?The biggest problem Rajasthan faces is the weakness of its Indian heart, which has not been steadfast. Samson has rarely appeared in five consecutive matches in either version in recent years. Pacer Jaydev Unadkat, bought for Rs 11.5 crore in 2018, has failed delivery while Manan Vohra has only been awesome on rare occasions. It will be interesting to see what role Samson, Onadkat, and Vohra will play this season.With Steve Smith out of the picture now, RR is likely at # 3, while Yashaswi Jaiswal or Manan Vohra may be at # 4. Rajasthan will miss David Miller as he's still under quarantine and managing a team waiting for an update on this. In his absence, Ryan Parage will likely be the No. 5 hitters. Rahul Tiwatia will resume his duties in sixth place and he is ready to repeat his role as runner-up like last season.IPL 2021 RR Playing XI vs PBKS: Bowling unit a big headacheRajasthan is a team with an inexperienced bowling unit. With the exception of Chris Morris, which is bought for 16.25 crore Indian rupees, there's no dreadful pace on the side. Their speed bowling star Joffra Archer is not yet available due to injury. To add to his fears, Bangladeshi escort Mustafa Rahman will be absent from the opening match due to the quarantine.While Morris will be the leader of Rajasthan, Jaidev Onadkat and Kartik Tiyagi will likely be his alternates. In the spinning department, Shreyas Gopal will join Tewatia. Sangakkara says an inexperienced bowling alley can be beneficial to your campaign."Lack of experience can work for you sometimes and other times it means that the opposition didn't see it either. But fast bowling, especially in IPL, is not an easy task and we saw it yesterday (during DC vs CSK) too. Sometimes the wicket is really good at hitting or Most wickets are so. So I'm sure our junior bowlers will advance we had Kartik Tiyagi, who did really well last season on spots. And this year we have a new addition in Kuldeep Yadav and Chetan Sakariya. I think it's about keeping them focused on their work. Training them and implementing game plans in different scenarios.RR Playing XI vs PBKS in IPL 2021 (Likely):1) Jos Buttler, 2) Ben Stokes, 3) Sanju Samson, 4) Riyan Parag, 5) Shivam Dubey 6) Rahul Tewatia, 7) Chris Morris, 8) Andrew Tye 9) Shreyas Gopal, 10) Kartik Tyagi, 11) Jaydev UnadkatIPL 2021 – Rajasthan Royals Full Squad: Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Shreyas Gopal, Rahul Tewatia, Mahipal Lomror, Kartik Tyagi, Andrew Tye, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Anuj Rawat, David Miller, Manan Vohra, Shivam Dube, Chris Morris, Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakariya, KC Cariappa, Liam Livingstone, Kuldip Yadav, Akash SinghAlso Read: IPL 2021: BCCI requests Aviation ministry for separate IPL Check-in counters, daily testing to fight Covid-19
After the clinical final against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Eoin Morgan's Kolkata Knight Riders will look to solve the Mumbai mystery in their second IPL match at MA Chidambaram on Tuesday. The KKR was an entirely different unit, in the way they defeated David Warner's SRH by ten runs in their first match on Sunday.Be it the aggression demonstrated by the top-ranked or the explosive ending of Dinesh Karthik, KKR demonstrated a fearless approach under the leadership of patron Eoin Morgan.Morgan's intention was evident at the moment of the launch when he decided to abandon his most trusted Lieutenant, Sunil Naraine.However, they now had routine duties. Mumbai remains the best team on paper. The five-time winning champions are packed with powerful hitters like Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Kieron Pollard. Add a bowling lethal unit in IM for Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Bolt.KKR vs MI in IPL 2021: Who has the edge?If individual records and team strength are taken into account, the match between KKR and MI could seem tough. But this was not the case. In 28 matches so far in IPL, MI has always dominated KKR, winning 21 matches against KKR's 6 and the other without providing any results.Matches Played28MI Won21KKR Won6No Result1KKR vs MI in IPL 2021: How will Kolkata try to get the better of Mumbai?Nitesh Rana and Chubbman's opening generation mix started from left and right with the attack from the first ball, clearly indicating that the new approach has written the slogan of Morgan's success everywhere.With a solid median ranking in Andre Russell, Karthik and Morgan, 2020 has been a promising season for KKR, but aimless planning hasn't helped their cause.This time, KKR cemented their middle ranking by adding Bangladeshi superstar Shakeeb Al Hassan, while Morgan, in his full season as captain, is adding a new dimension to the team.Rana's skilled work on his wrist and super strength was shown on Sunday and made sure they stayed ahead despite Rashid Khan's double whammy in the form of generation and messengers.After 80 balls of 56 balls, it was Karthik Under Fire who hit an undefeated cameo of 22 nine-ball passes to propel KKR to a total of 187 from 6 wins.KKR will be looking to shoot the defending champions five times on Tuesday. They have only won once in their last 12 matches against IM, and they have an overall record in head-to-head matches 6-21.Ultimately, however, the whole affair will end in a battle of wits between Morgan and Rohit Sharma, who under MI won a record fifth Premier League title in the Premier League last season in the United Arab Emirates.MI will be a real challenge for KKR as the defending champions will be desperate to secure their first win of the season after losing a Wicket to Royal Challengers Bangalore in an IPL opener on Friday.KRR found it easy against SRH players, who lack firepower, but on Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, MI attacking would be an entirely different proposition.Jill's struggle to reach the T20 rate has been a concern for KKR and it will be interesting to see the young novice face the best in the business.Also Read: Virat Kohli: Superb looking tattoos and their meaning

We were told that the matches will continue as scheduled in the designated venues. There was no written communication, but it was done. We are verbally told not only our franchisor but the eight franchisees that they are not looking elsewhere for alternative locations yet.

The online gaming industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22% to $ 2 billion by 2023, up from $ 906 million in 2019, according to a report by the All India Games Federation (AIGF) and EY India. Driven largely by a young tech-savvy population, wide internet coverage, better performing smartphones at affordable prices. India is now the fifth largest online gaming market in the world and is expected to grow even further after. of the digitization caused by Covid-19. virus.

Looking at the industry growth prospects, the report also looks at the effects of GST and obstacles that could affect the industry's business operations. He said that the tax rate should not exceed 20% as this could lead to gaming operators and consumers not joining the government licensing system and entering the gray market.

The report said that the rational imposition of a GST is important for the sustainability of the industry. The vast majority of countries tax the online gaming industry at or below standard GST / VAT rates.

In some countries (e g South Africa, Singapore and Australia), a credit model is followed in which the total value of bets is taxed at a discretionary discount allowed on payments (prizes) made to players. "Valuation disputes under the Goods and Services Tax Act (GST) have been daunting for the industry. Most importantly, regressive taxes for these emerging sectors can make companies unsustainable in India. Our recommendation is that tax authorities should align their policies with internationally accepted tax principles. In the industry, online games provide certainty to the industry. " The report highlighted the much-discussed issue of the legality of online gaming in India and stated that various higher courts across the country have held that Rummy, Poker, and Fantasy Sports are games of skill and do not amount to gambling. Electronic sports must also qualify as a game of skill by applying the principles established by the courts. EY partner Bipin Sapra said: "The government needs to state & clarify that games of skill like games of rummy, fantasy, poker, etc., which are different from games of chance like lottery, gambling, Random games are taxed at the GST rate. Normal services will be 18% and the taxable value is the platform fee or commission fee. Clarifying this meaning would give certainty to the industry and encourage more investment in this sector ".

Online games have become increasingly popular in India in recent years. People using their phones to play online games using websites or apps has become common in the country.Indians are obsessed with PUBG, or even real money gaming apps like rummy or teen Patti, around 40% of all internet users play online games every year. Recently, online gambling and fantasy games have seen a massive increase in popularity through the use of gambling sites in India. With these major advancements in the online gaming industry, it is natural to wonder what various factors have contributed to its rise.5 reasons why online games are so popular in India1) Variety of gamesThe first the most important secret of the success of online games remains the wide variety of games that are now accessible to the Indian public. There are action / adventure mobile games like BGMI or Free Fire, countless simulation and puzzle games, and even real money gaming apps like rummy or poker. On top of all this, the mobile gaming industry in India has expanded thanks to many people now wanting to gamble during cricket seasons like IPL.2) Better smartphone technologyIn the last decade, the smartphone sector in India has achieved a lot, which made it possible for the country to create cheaper, more efficient and technologically advanced smartphones for everyone. With the introduction of low and mid-range smartphones in the market, mobile gaming is no longer the pursuit of luxury that it used to be. Now anyone can play online games.3) Cheaper data packagesThere would be no online games without the various data packages that Indian telecom now offer their customers at discounted prices. Since the introduction to the market of Jio, owned by Reliance, 4G data packages have become very cheap and accessible to all types of people in the Indian community. And again, the Internet is no longer a luxury but a necessity in every home.4) Convenient payment optionsNot only online games are available for all budgets, but they also accept very convenient and reliable payment methods. It used to be that Indians used to mistrust using any online forms of payment.But thanks to payment methods like UPI and Netbanking, or even payment apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm, people are more inclined to play online games and even pay money to unlock more features.5) COVID-19 pandemicWhy could the pandemic be the reason for the success of online games? Well, that's because the pandemic has suddenly forced the entire country into frequent lockdowns. With jobs suspended and no new sources of entertainment, online gaming has been a great relief to many trapped at home.Online games have not only become a source of entertainment for people, but also a source of distraction and relaxation during these difficult times.Also Read- Billion-dollar online gaming industry seeks clarity on valuation, taxation

Ambitious host countries include Indonesia, India, Germany and Qatar. "And this is just the ones which come to my mind". So, we really are in a very good position for the long term. Bach said according to the Wall Street Journal. Bach's comments came at a time when the multi-million-dollar costs of hosting the Games have sparked controversy. The recently held Tokyo Games also faced an outcry over the amount of money spent to host the Olympics. Indian Olympic Association (IOA) Secretary General Rajiv Mehta has confirmed to PTI that they have already shown interest in hosting the showpiece event. "In a meeting of the International Olympic Committee via video conference before Tokyo Olympics, the IOA expressed interest in hosting the Olympics in 2036 and beyond," Mehta said.

For a man who seemed unstoppable even two years ago, Virat Kohli's luck with the bat is completely incomprehensible. The world's number one batsman, who collected hundreds at will, has not scored one hundred in all three formats in 50 innings. India's captain Virat Kohli's fight continue as he was dismissed in the first hour of the first day of 3rd Test against England at Headingley in Leeds. James Anderson sent Kohli back to the pavilion for 7. Lean patches are part of a cricketer's journey. There are likely to be peaks and valleys in performance as the career runs. Every great in the game has had their share of dips and Kohli is undoubtedly facing headwinds after fixing the loopholes in 2014. But it looks like the old habit of dangling the bat outside the off-stump seems to be back and Kohli not for the first time in England, got out swishing at a ball a could have been left alone. This was the fourth time in the series that he had edged the ball behind the stumps. Most dismissals for Kohli against a bowler in TestsJames Anderson - 7 times in 23 matches Nathan Lyon - 7 times in 18 matches Stuart Broad - 5 times in 18 matches Moeen Ali - 5 times in 15 matches Ben Stokes - 5 times in 15 matches Kohli's lean patch began with the 2020 Tour in New Zealand, where he managed 218 runs in four T20Is, three ODI matches and two test matches. In the only Test he played in Australia late last year, his defiant 74 in the first innings was lost in the ruins of the disastrous second innings of the pink-ball Test where India were gobbled up for 36. It was an out of character show from the India captain who spent 244 minutes at the crease for his 180-ball effort. It was also his second slowest half-century. A similar kind of effort would have helped the India cause at Headingley had kohli played the waiting game. With KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara back in the shade. Kohli made the appropriate noises on the eve of the Test by saying "You have to keep your ego in your pocket while batting in England". In his pre & post match discourses , Kohli avoids talking about the individual players form. "Our focus is not thinking about where people are individually now. It's collectively about how much strength they bring to the team. As a batting unit, we look to perform in tough conditions, so we are in a winning positions and someone is going to put their hands in every game." Kohli has maintained when asked about the Pujara and Rahane's ordeals.Also Read- India interested in hosting 2036, 2040 Olympics: IOC President Thomas Bach

The pitch appears to have loosened considerably for the batsman after India collapsed to 78 on the first day. Indian bowlers have not been able to send Root back to the pavilion easily in the series and the skipper scored runs whenever he want to. He seems to be in form and reached his 51 fifty of 57 balls with a impressive back foot punch through the covers.Also Read- IPL 2021: Pandya brothers Kunal and Hardik join Mumbai Indian camp in Abu Dhabi

During my training, I have been touching the 70m-mark. And I dream of throwing between 75 to 80m and that should be enough to compete amongst the able-bodied athletes. “I wish to take part in both the Olympics and Paralympics. That’s my dream,” Antil, who lost his left leg below the knee after he was involved in a motorbike accident in 2015, said in a release issued by Paralympic Committee of India (PCI). “Once I return from Tokyo, I will be training for that for sure,” he added. If Sumit is allowed to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics, he will compete against countryman Neeraj Chopra, who recently won gold medal in men's javelin throw at the Tokyo Olympics. Interestingly, as the son of a JWO officer in the Indian Army, Antel competed against Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra in the able-bodied 3rd series of the Indian Grand Prix on March 5 at Patiala, where he finished seventh with a best throw of 66.43 meters.

I'm glad I was able to finally come out with a good performance and inspire the upcoming generation." It was very hot and humid that day in Tokyo, but Antil never looked bothered. "During the pandemic, I got special permission from the Sports Authority of India to train at home. I was prepared for all conditions - hot and humid. I trained late at night and this paid off well," said Antel, who hails from Sonepat. The Haryana athlete now hopes that Paralympic gold will give him a job once he returns to India.

Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and his wife Ayesha Mukherjee have divorced after 8 years of marriage. Ayesha Mukherjee took to social media to confirm the news and put an end to all the rumors.Shikhar Dhawan married Ayesha Mukherjee, who has two daughters from her first marriage, in October 2012. The couple have a 7-year-old son named Zoravar, who was born in 2014.I THOUGHT DIVORCE WAS A DIRTY WORD UNTIL I BECAME A 2 TIME DIVORCEE. Funny how words can have such powerful meanings and associations. I experienced this first hand as a divorcee. The first time I went through a divorce I was soooooooo fu@kn scared. I felt like I had failed and I was doing something so wrong at that time.I felt as if I had let everyone down and even felt selfish. I felt that I was letting my parents down, I felt that I was letting my children down and even to some extent I felt as if I was letting God down. Divorce was such a dirty word.So now imagine, I have to go through it a second time. Woooahhhhhh. That is terrifying. Being divorced once before already, felt like I had more at stake the second time round. I had more to prove.So when my second marriage broke down it was really scary. All the feelings I felt when I went through it the first time came flooding in. Fear, failure and disappointment x 100. What does this mean for me? How does this define me and my relationship to marriage?"Well, once I went through the necessary actions and emotions of what had happened I was able to sit with myself and see that I was fine, I was actually doing great, even noticed my fear had totally disappeared. The remarkable thing is I actually felt much more empowered. I realised my fear and the meaning I gave to the word divorce was my own doing.So, once I realised this I started to redefine the word and the experience of divorce according to the way I wanted to see it and experience it," Ayesha Mukherjee posted on social media.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Aesha Mukerji (@apwithaesha)Shikhar Dhawan is currently in the UAE, where he will be playing for Delhi Capitals in the second half of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

On paper, Punjab Kings and the Rajasthan Royals have more than a few things in common in the second leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Mohali-based franchise finished sixth in 2020 and is currently at the same spot midway into the IPL 2021 season.Tuesday's competition will be more about what kinds of starts can be made by the top order players on both sides. As for the Kings, Rahul and Mayank are expected to open with Chris Gale providing just the right momentum to their innings at No.3.Prabhsimran Singh is another exciting prospect at the top of the order in case he gets into the XI. The middle order will be manned by Mandeep Singh, M Shahrukh Khan and a toss-up between new recruit Aiden Markram and West Indian Nicholas Pooran, eager to get over a nightmarish first phase, where he got four ducks.Leg-spin remains Punjab's forte and the addition of experienced campaigner Adil Rashid, alongside the India pair of Ravi Bishnoi and Murugan Ashwin, could come in handy in UAE conditions. The withdrawals of Riley Meredith and Jhye Richardson means Mohammed Shami is set to be partnered by either Chris Jordan or Nathan Ellis. Left-armer Arshdeep Singh's improved death bowling will also strengthen his case.Similarly for the Rajasthan, a lot will depend on the start provided by power-hitters Liam Livingston and Evin Lewis. Coming to the IPL after some sensational performances in "The Hundred" for Birmingham Phoenix, Livingston will be excited to stretch his run, while at the same time his skills will be tested against a high-quality leg-spin.Weakened by the withdrawal of Ben Stokes, Joss Butler and Jofra Archer, Rajasthan hope that their Indian Players like Rahul Tewatia, Riyan Parag, Jaydev Unadkat and Chetan Sakariya to turn the tide.Also Read- Pakistan vs New Zealand: Entire tour called off due to security concerns minutes before 1st ODI

The opening batsman, affectionately known as ‘Gabbar’, has scored 380 runs in 8 matches so far in this IPL at an average of 54.28.Kane Williamson is an all-format player and knows how to win matches for his side. He is calm and composed at the crease, which is his biggest strength. He mainly relies on his technique rather than going for fancy T20 shots.Top Picks – All-RoundersMarcus Stoinis didn’t make a huge impact in the first leg of this IPL. The Australian all-rounder has scored 71 runs and has chipped in with 2 wickets. He will be expecting much improved performances in the second half.At a cut-throat price of 8 Cr, Vijay Shankar will be a decent budget option. He has picked up 3 wickets and has scored 58 runs in this season so far. Top Picks – BowlersAvesh Khan was highly impressive with his accurate bowling in the first half of the IPL. He has scalped 14 wickets in 8 matches, with the best figures of 3 for 32.Whichever league he might be playing in, Rashid Khan always tends to fight for the leading wicket-taker award. He is highly deceptive, and picking him is one of the tougher tasks a batsman could face. Moreover, he can hit big sixes as well. Top Picks – WicketkeepersRishabh Pant is a true game-changer. He is someone who can take the game away from the opposition within a span of a few overs. The Delhi Capitals skipper has mustered 213 runs in this year’s IPL at an average of 35.5 and a strike rate of 131.48.

This will be his first match after a long gap, but we have seen plenty of excellent knocks from his bat in this competition. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper. David Warner will be hungry for the runs. The former Orange Army skipper has scored 193 runs in 6 matches in this year’s IPL at an average of 32.16. He will be a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.Player you should avoid:Considering his decent international performances in recent times, it’s better to avoid Anrich Nortje while making your fantasy teams.Also Read- IPL 2022: Auction for new teams to take place on October 17
Delhi Capitals have been the team to beat in IPL 2021, with Rishabh Pant doing a great job leading the franchise in the absence of Shreyas Iyer. But that was all before Covid outbreak in the IPL bio-bubble that led to the tournament being postponed. Iyer is back, but Pant will continue to lead the team, at least until the end of the current season. Delhi hopes to pick up where it left off in India, and their first test comes in the form of bottom-placed SunRisers Hyderabad on Wednesday.While DC was the form team in the first leg in India, SRH endured a nightmare. The team had just one win under their belt from seven games.SRH's dreadful showing cost David Warner his captaincy and he was replaced by Kane Williamson before the tournament was halted. The Covid-enforced break, however, came at the right time for SRH. The team has now had time to regroup and hopes that a change of scenery will lead to a change of fortunes.Also Read- DC vs SRH Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI UpdatesBefore the UAE resumed, SRH was hit hard when England star Jonny Bairstow withdrew from the tournament.Jonny Bairstow is the top-scorer for SRH this season with 248 runs in seven matches, boasting a strike-rate of 141.71. SRH have added West Indies batsman Sherfane Rutherford to their squad following Bairstow's withdrawal.Rashid Khan will once again hold the key for SRH when it comes to bowling but others will need to provide him support. Bhuvneshwar Kumar seems to be getting back to his best and that will be good news for the Hyderabad franchise.Delhi are currently level on 12 points with league leaders Chennai Super Kings but have an inferior run-rate to MS Dhoni's team.

The five-time champion Mumbai Indians did not start well in the second leg of IPL 2021, as they lost to Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs. They did a good job of pick up the wicket early on, but later in death overs, they conceded plenty of runs, which brought about their downfall. Rohit Sharma, who missed the last match due to a niggle, is likely to be back for this match.On the other hand, the Kolkata Knight Riders were stunning against RCB in their previous match, as they bowled Virat Kohli’s team out for just 92 runs. The Knights then chased the target with 10 overs still left in the game. This was one of the biggest victories in IPL in terms of balls remaining. Youngsters are doing great work for KKR at the moment.Match Details:Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Match 34Venue:Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu DhabiDate & Time: September 23rd at 7:30 PM IST, and at 6:00 PM local timeLive Streaming:Star Sports Network and Disney+HotstarPitch Report:The wicket is conducive for the bowlers, and we witnessed some terrific bowling performances from KKR bowlers against RCB on Monday.

That being said, he is a match-winner who has got the necessary backing of the Mumbai team management to play freely. He has scored 176 runs so far in this IPL at an average of 22.Shubman Gill played a sensible knock in the last match against RCB. The 22-year-old talented batter from Punjab scored 48 runs from 34 deliveries in the run chase. Overall, in this year’s IPL, he has amassed 180 runs in 8 matches at an average of 22.5.Top Picks – All-RoundersKrunal Pandya can be a good budget pick. He might be struggling to make a big impression in this IPL. However, he is a resilient all-rounder and will be hopeful of delivering well in this match.Andre Russell was brutal with the ball against RCB. His unplayable yorker to dismiss AB de Villiers was one of the main highlights of the match. He ended with the figures of 3/9.Top Picks – BowlersTrent Boult is a wicket-taking bowler who swings the ball both ways and is very effective in the powerplay. The New Zealand left-arm quick has scalped 10 wickets in this year’s IPL, with the best figures of 3/28.Varun Chakravarthy likes to attack the stumps every time he runs in, and he did the same against RCB. Bangalore batters struggled to read his variations and fell to his trap. He was the player of the match for his figures of 3/13.Top Picks – WicketkeepersQuinton de Kock was cruising well in the match against Chennai Super Kings, but was dismissed when he was batting on 17 runs.

He remained not out on 41* runs from 27 deliveries. He is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to his role of a number three, but Nitish Rana played quite a few extraordinary knocks in the first phase of IPL 2021, where he batted as an opener.

Bolstered by the return of Captain Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai Indians (MI), still agonizing from their defeat against the Chennai Super Kings will look to return against the Varun Chakravarthy (KKR) inspired Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Sheikh Zayed Abu Dhabi Stadium on Thursday night.The Tamil Nadu tweaker won handsome praise from India and RCB skipper Virat Kohli, who said he’s going to be “a key factor when he plays for India” after taking 3/13 in four overs. The 30-year-old’s magical spell included as many as 15 dot balls and Glenn Maxwell was one of his three scalps.When the teams met in Chennai during the first stage of the IPL, Rohit hit 43 off 32 balls and Chakravarthy took 1-27 in four overs, as MI won by 10 runs. Their 10-wicket victory over RCB allowed KKR to climb a little further to sixth spot on the table with six points from eight games.In order to keep their playoff hopes alive, they need to keep winning from here.Also Read- Virat Kohli to quit RCB captaincy after the end of IPL 2021 seasonMissing the services of their talismanic captain and India allrounder Hardik Pandya, MI went down by 20 runs to CSK on Sunday night. Both the players were rested as a precautionary measure, allowing them to recover from their niggles.While there’s still doubt over Pandya’s availability, head coach Mahela Jayawardene had said that Rohit should be returning for the KKR match.In a pre-match presser on Wednesday, MI’s left-arm pacer Trent Boult said: “They (Rohit and Hardik) are both recovering very well. In terms of their selection for the next game, I’m not too sure what’s going on there. But day by day, they are improving. It was probably more of precaution that they had that extra bit of rest the other night against Chennai. But they are obviously two vital players in the XI for Mumbai. And we’re desperate to get them back. So, fingers crossed that they’ll be pretty good to go over the next couple of games.”Lying at the fourth spot with eight games in eight matches, MI desperately need their key players for the business end of the tournament.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Mumbai Indians (@mumbaiindians)He (Rohit) was sorely missed. He is right up there in terms of experience and runs achieved in this format. So, it was a big hole but it was a good decision to make sure (that) he’s 100% with the amount of cricket coming up. If he comes to the eleven, it will be brilliant, but we want to make sure he is 100% fit,” said Boult.Whether Pandya plays on Thursday or not, he will also be seen by the Indian selectors, who chose him ahead of players like Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar for the T20 World Cup, which follows directly from the IPL in the United Arab Emirates.“If Hardik is fully fit, he can contribute with both bat and ball. He’s a very good player for any side. He’s working hard to get himself fit and we’re desperate to have him back,” said Boult.They would blame themselves for allowing CSK to get out of jail in the last game. Having reduced them to 24 for four in six overs, MI’s stand-in captain Kieron Pollard perhaps allowed their opponents to get off the hook when he chose to take off pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Boult and bring on his spinners.Also Read- Former Mr India contest winner Manoj Patil attempts suicide, blames actor Sahil Khan for harrassment

Virat Kohli is back to breaking batting records at will.

Sunrisers Hyderabad will face the Rajasthan Royals in the 40th match of the IPL 2021 on Monday, September 27 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Sunrisers, led by Kane Williamson, are in dire straits as they are languishing right at the bottom of the table. In their previous game, they lost to Punjab Kings by five runs after failing to chase 126 runs. Jason Holder shot five sixes to keep the Orange Army in the game, but his efforts went in vain. Going into the next game, it won’t be a surprise if they make quite a few changes in their playing eleven. The Royals, on the other hand, are placed at seventh in the IPL table. The 33-run loss at the hands of Delhi Capitals would have dented their confidence to some extent. But their skipper, Sanju Samson, looked in great touch. RR don’t have much room for complacency and need to string a few victories.Match DetailsMatch:Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals – 40th matchVenue:Dubai International Cricket Stadium, DubaiTime:7:30 PM IST, 02:00 PM GMTWhere to watch live:Star Sports Network, HotstarPitch ReportThe pitch in Dubai has been fairly good for batting.

England all-rounder Moeen Ali announced his retirement from test cricket on Monday. The 34-year-old has played 64 test matches, taking 195 wickets including 5 wicket hauls. He also has five Test centuries to his name, scoring a total of 2914 runs in the longest format. "I just felt like I was done, especially during the India series," said Moeen on the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) website, referring to the recent five-match Test series that was played between India and England. The fifth match was called off and Moeen said that while he wanted to reach a few milestones, he was content with calling time on his career. "I was hoping to play the last one, there were a couple of milestones I wanted to try and get in this series. But once that game was called off I was happy and done. It's been a good journey," he further said.Moeen said that he wants to prolong his career and that the intensity of Test cricket does take a mental and emotional toll. "I'm 34 now and I want to play for as long as I can and I just want to enjoy my cricket. Test cricket is amazing, when you’re having a good day it’s better than any other format by far, it’s more rewarding and you feel like you’ve really earnt it," he said. "I will miss just walking out there with the lads, playing against best in the world with that feeling of nerves but also from a bowling point of view, knowing with my best ball I could get anyone out. I've enjoyed Test Cricket but that intensity can be too much sometimes and I feel like I’ve done enough of it and I’m happy and content with how I’ve done," he further said. Moeen made his Test debut in a match against Sri Lanka at Lord's on June 12, 2014. His first Test wicket was that of Sri Lanka great Kumar Sangakkara, who was batting on 147 at the time. 64 Test matches195 wickets2914 runsCountless memories #ThankYouMo — England Cricket (@englandcricket) September 27, 2021'Hope I made it easier for someone to take up cricket' He said he hopes that his Test career will inspire and open the door for other British Muslims to play for England. He said he was inspired in a similar way by former South Africa batsman Hashim Amla. "It always takes somebody to inspire you or takes somebody to think if he can do it I can and I hope there are a few people out there who are thinking that. I know he wasn't English but someone like Hashim Amla, when I first saw him, I thought if he can do it I can do it, it does take that little spark," said Moeen. "I'd love one day in 8-10 years' time (someone) to say Moeen made it easier for me. There have been guys before me who made it easier, so you hope to open the door for someone else."

In the first match of the double header on Tuesday, Kolkata Knight Riders will face Delhi Capitals in Match 41 of the IPL 2021. The game completely slipped away from the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders in the penultimate over of the match against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. From now the tournament will get more and more difficult for Knight Riders, as they will need to win four more matches to qualify for the next stage. Rahul Tripathi has been sensational with the bat in this IPL and he will the man to watch out for in this match. Delhi Capitals have almost confirmed their playoff spot, awaiting only official classification. Now, they will be aiming to finish in the top 2 places.

Rajasthan Royals kept their qualifying hopes alive by defeating current table leaders Chennai Super Kings in their previous match by seven wickets with 15 balls remaining in the match. They made plenty of changes to their playing XI and they got the desired result. The tournament is still wide open and Rajasthan need to win their remaining 2 matches to make it to the playoffs.Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, did not perform well as a unit in the second phase of the IPL. Batters failed miserably and as a result managed to win only 1 of the last 5 matches. They are currently placed at the 7th spot in the standings with 10 points. They have been in this situation many times and know how to win matches under pressure.Match Details:Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians, Match 51Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, SharjahDate & Time: October 5th at 7:30 PM IST, and at 6:00 PM local timeLive Streaming: Star Sports Network and Disney+HotstarPitch Report:It’s all depends on what kind of sur face will be provided on the match day.

He took on the bowlers and smashed unbeaten 64 runs from 42 deliveries.Krunal Pandya has been a tad off-colour in this IPL. 134 runs with the bat and 5 wickets with the ball doesn’t justify his potential.

Royal Challengers Bangalore became the third team to qualify for the playoffs after Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals in this edition. They have an excellent chance to finish in the top two spots if they win their last two matches, but might still need to rely on the Chennai Super Kings result. Currently, they are in third spot in the standings with 16 points. Three wins in a row have greatly increased their confidence and they would want to carry the same momentum in the remaining matches. Things are getting worse for Sunrisers Hyderabad at this stage. They became the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race, and it is now confirmed that they will finish last. Hyderabad will be aiming to spoil the party of RCB. Batting has been their major area of concern and their batters need to step up in the last 2 matches.Match Details: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Match 52Venue: Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu DhabiDate &Time:October 6th at 7:30 PM IST, and at 6:00 PM local timeLive Streaming: Star Sports Network and Disney+HotstarPitch Report:379 runs were scored here in the last match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.

In 3 matches, the Englishman has scored 72 runs, with the highest score of 60.Top Picks – All-RoundersGlenn Maxwell has made his intentions clear that he is here to terrorize opposition bowlers. He has been quite successful in doing that for RCB in this edition of the IPL. Maxwell was adjudged as the player of the match for his 57 runs from 33 deliveries against Punjab Kings on Sunday. Jason Holder is the premier all-rounder for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He is consistently picking wickets for his side. Overall in this competition, Holder has scalped 11 wickets in 6 matches and has even scored 68 runs with the bat.Top Picks – BowlersYuzvendra Chahal is answering the national selectors who ignored him by picking up wickets for fun in the second leg of the IPL.

Anshu Malik created history on Wednesday by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the World Championship final when she outclassed European champion Solomiia Vynnyk, even as Sarita Mor lost in the semifinal after surprising the world champion and will fight for a bronze here. The 19-year-old Anshu, the reigning Asian champion, controlled the semifinal from the beginning and won by technical superiority in the 57kg category to go into history books. Only four Indian women wrestlers have won medals at the World and all of them, Geeta Phogat (2012), Babita Phogat (2012), Pooja Dhanda (2018) and Vinesh Phogat (2019) -- have clinched bronze. Anshu also became only the third Indian ever to make the Worlds gold medal match after Sushil Kumar (2010) and Bajrang Punia (2018). India has only one world Champion in Sushil till date and Anshu can create another history on Thursday. Anshu's win also ensured India's first medal from this edition of the event.Also Read- Sagar Rana murder case: Delhi court denies bail to Olympic wrestler Sushil Kumar Anshu was clever with her moves. At least thrice, she affected take-down moves from the left of Vynnyk and finished the bout with an exposure move. The Nidani girl started competing in the senior circuit only from last year and has made a steady progress since then. She also had qualified for the Tokyo Olympics. Earlier, she was hardly troubled by Kazakhstan's Nilufar Raimova, whom she beat by technical superiority and later outwitted Mongolia's Davaachimeg Erkhembayar 5-1 in the quarterfinals.Sarita to fight for bronzeSeasoned Sarita Mor shocked defending champion Linda Morais 8-2 in her opening bout and beat Germany's Sandra Paruszewski 3-1 in the quarterfinals. Up against the reigning European champion from Bulgaria Bilyana Zhivkova Duodova, Sarita fought her heart out but lost 0-3. She will now fight for a bronze. The Asian champions had a tough opening match against the 2019 world champions from Canada, but they outscored them with an 8-2 tactical victory in the pre-quarterfinals. A quick take-down move, followed by an expose together with some superb defence put Sarita 7-0 ahead by the time the first period was over. The only scoring point she conceded was a take-down move in the second period. She did not let Linda play her game, keeping her in lock positions. Anshu MALIK speaks after becoming India’s first-ever WW finalist at senior World Championships #WrestleOslo pic.twitter.com/ZZvgfVGp3o— United World Wrestling (@wrestling) October 6, 2021Later, the quarterfinal against Paruszewski turned out to be a tougher bout, in which the two wrestlers were largely restricted to standing fight which took a lot out of them. There was only one point-scoring move, a take down effected by Sarita late in the match and that sealed the outcome. In the 72kg, Divya Kakran stunned Kseniia Burakova with a 'win by fall' but lost by technical superiority to Japan's Under-23 world champion Masako Furuich. The 2020 Asian champion Divya fought her heart out in both the bouts and wriggled out of difficult positions umpteen times but hurried moves and over-aggression cost her the quarterfinal against the Japanese. Meanwhile, Kiran (76 kg) won her repechage round against Aysgul Ozbegi of Turkey to reach the bronze playoff but pooja jatt (53 kg) lost her repechage by fall to Eucuador's Luisa Elizabeth Melendres.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will face Delhi Capitals in the final league fixture on Friday. Royal Challengers Bangalore’s hopes of finishing in the top 2 spots are almost over with a loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday. They experimented with their batting order which backfired them. Glenn Maxwell’s wicket at the wrong time was the turning point that went against them. Delhi Capitals has been one of the most consistent teams for the last 3 years in the IPL. They have exceptional strength on the bench and might experiment in this match to keep their main players fresh ahead of the playoffs.

Looks like anything over 160 is a good competitive score on this wicket.Probable Playing XIs for RCB vs DC:Royal Challengers BangaloreVirat Kohli (c), Devdutt Padikkal, Kona Srikar Bharat (wk), Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, Daniel Christian, Shahbaz Ahmed, George Garton, Harshal Patel, Mohammad Siraj, Yuzvendra ChahalDelhi CapitalsPrithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer/Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Ripal Patel/Steve Smith, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Avesh KhanTop Picks for RCB vs DC Dream11 Match:Top Picks – BattersDevdutt Padikkal played an unusual inning in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He struggled to get his timing going and batted at a relatively lower strike rate. However, one innings can’t define the champion batter that Padikkal is, and you can still back him and include him in your fantasy teams. Shikhar Dhawan has a perfect opportunity to become the leading run-scorer in this year’s IPL. ‘Gabbar’ has already scored 501 runs in 13 matches at an average of 41.75.Top Picks – All-RoundersGlenn Maxwell is ruling the second leg of the IPL with his exceptional batting performances. The Aussie batting all-rounder has scored 224 runs in the last 6 matches at an average of 44.8, which includes 3 half-centuries. Maxwell has chipped in with 3 wickets as well. Axar Patel has won two back-to-back player of the match awards in the last 2 matches for his splendid bowling display. In 9 matches in this edition, he has scalped 14 wickets at an economy of 6.05, with the best figures of 3 for 21.Top Picks – BowlersHarshal Patel became the highest wicket-taker among Indian bowlers in a single edition of the IPL with 29 wickets. He achieved this feat in the last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, surpassing Jasprit Bumrah’s 27 wickets. Avesh Khan is second on the list of leading wicket-takers in this IPL. He has scalped 22 wickets in 13 matches at an economy of 7.14, with the best figures of 3/13.Top Picks – WicketkeepersRishabh Pant should be the first-choice wicketkeeping option for your fantasy teams. The Delhi Capitals skipper has scored 352 runs in 13 matches in this IPL at an average of 35.2. He is a game-changer and a must-pick player for your fantasy teams.Suggested Playing XI No.1 for RCB vs DC Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:Rishabh Pant (vc), Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Devdutt Padikkal, Ripal Patel, Daniel Christian, Glenn Maxwell (c), Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel, Anrich NortjeSuggested Playing XI No.2 for RCB vs DC Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:K Srikar Bharat, AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli (vc), Shikhar Dhawan (c), Prithvi Shaw, Shahbaz Ahmed, Glenn Maxwell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshal Patel, Anrich Nortje, Avesh KhanRCB vs DC Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:Player Statistics Dream11 Points Devdutt Padikkal 390 runs 616 Glenn Maxwell 447 runs and 3 wickets 773 Harshal Patel 29 wickets and 51 runs 983 Shikhar Dhawan 501 runs 767 Rishabh Pant 352 runs 637 RCB vs DC Risky Captaincy Choices:AB de Villiers hasn’t faced many deliveries as expected in the second leg of the IPL because he is batting down the order, but when he gets going, it is difficult to stop the South African. He is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams. Prithvi Shaw has scored 353 runs in 12 matches so far in this edition at an average of 29.41. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.Player you should avoid:George Garton has been slightly expensive, and there are considering plenty of options available in the bowler’s slot, it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.Also Read- Anshu Malik becomes first Indian woman to reach wrestling World Championships final
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has to reduce its dependence on funding from the International Cricket Council (ICC) as much of cricket's global governing body gets its funding from India, said the board's chairman Ramiz Raja. Ramiz said that this effectively means that cricket in Pakistan is at the mercy of Indian businesses and any political pressure in India to stop this funding can spell disaster for the sport in the country. "The ICC is a politicised body divided between the Asian and Western blocs and 90 per cent of its revenues are generated from India. It is frightening," the PCB Chief said appearing before the Senate Standing Committee on Inter-Provincial affairs on Thursday in Islamabad. "In a way India's business houses are running Pakistan cricket and if tomorrow the Indian PM decides he will not allow any funding to Pakistan, this cricket board can collapse," he added, but did not elaborate on the specifics.Also Read- ICC T20 World Cup 2021 complete schedule: India to face Pakistan on October 24 The former Pakistan captain also said that the ICC has reduced into an "event management company" considering how New Zealand and England are pulling out of their tours of the country. New Zealand canceled their tour just minutes before the start of the first match citing a security threat and Ramiz said some good news could be in store regarding the series in a week's time. "What New Zealand did was unacceptable because till now they have not shared any information with us on what led them to abandon the series in Pakistan. But they are now trying to reschedule the series," said Ramiz. "The good thing is they are working on something which means they want to mend things with us," he said.Also Read- Virat Kohli becomes first Indian batsman to score 10,000 runs in T20 format
Sunrisers Hyderabad will face the Mumbai Indians in the penultimate league match of the IPL 2021.

Brilliant spells from Jason Holder and Bhuvneshwar Kumar helped them to secure a win. Mumbai Indians, five-time winners have had a difficult IPL so far as their playoffs hope still hang in balance.

Considering the last 2 matches played here, the wicket has looked good for batting and even the bowlers have got success as well. Anything over 160 is a good score on this wicket.Probable Playing XIs for SRH vs MI:Sunrisers HyderabadJason Roy, Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddarth Kaul, Umran Malik Mumbai IndiansRohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, James Neesham, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Rahul Chahar/Jayant Yadav, Trent Boult, Jasprit BumrahTop Picks for SRH vs MI Dream11 Match: Top Picks – BattersJason Roy played his natural game and kept the scoreboard ticking in the last match against RCB. He would have been frustrated to get out in a remarkable fashion, as he was dismissed by an excellent reflex catch by Dan Christian. In 4 matches in this IPL, he has scored 116 runs at an average of 29. Suryakumar Yadav’s form is a major concern for Mumbai management. He hasn’t performed up to the standards he has set in the second leg of the IPL. Overall in this tournament, he has scored 235 runs in 13 matches at an average of 18.07. Top Picks – All-RoundersJason Holder proved his worth again in the last game against RCB by picking up a wicket at an economy of 6.75. Barbados’ tall all-rounder has scalped 12 wickets in 7 matches in this edition and has even scored 84 runs with the bat. Playing his second match for Mumbai Indians, James Neesham picked up 3 huge wickets against Rajasthan Royals at an excellent economy of 3.

The 21-year-old right-arm quick got his first IPL wicket when he dismissed K Srikar Bharat for 12 runs with a short delivery.Top Picks – WicketkeepersIshan Kishan answered his critics in a perfect manner with an unbeaten half-century against Rajasthan Royals.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will go head-to-head against Kolkata Knight Riders in Eliminator of the IPL 2021. Royal Challengers Bangalore are still looking for their first IPL title and it is a perfect opportunity for them this year as they have secured the perfect mix of experienced and talented youngsters.

However, they are still playing an excellent brand of cricket throughout this IPL and will be looking forward to do their best in the playoffs. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders had an exceptional second leg of IPL, where they bounced back from the bottom half of the table and finished fourth in the standings.

Overall in this tournament, he has scored 352 runs in 14 matches at an average of 25.14.Top Picks – All-RoundersGlenn Maxwell has made a massive impact with the bat for RCB, as he played a vital role in taking them till the playoffs. The Aussie has scored 498 runs in 13 innings at an average of 45.27, with the highest score of 78. Maxwell has chipped in with 3 wickets as well.

Royal Challengers Bangalore champion fast bowler Harshal Patel came close to breaking a long-standing Indian Premier League (IPL) but fell 1 wicket short as his team crashed out of the 2021 season after a 4-wicket defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Eliminator on Monday. Harshal picked up 2 for 19 from his 4 overs to finish his IPL 2021 campaign with 32 wickets and equal Dwayne Bravo's record for the most scalps in a single season. The Chennai Super Kings all-rounder had achieved the amazing feat in the 2013 season. The right-arm pacer had the chance to better Bravo's record in his final over when Sunil Narine top-edged his slower delivery towards mid-on but Devdutt Padikkal dropped the catch. Harshal is the only player to pick a hat-trick this season, against the Mumbai Indians in Dubai last month. He is also one of three to pick a five-wicket haul (5 for 27) this season alongside Punjab Kings' Arshdeep Singh (5 for 32) and KKR's Andre Russell (5 for 15) Harshal's performance meanwhile, went in vain as KKR chase down 139 against RCB with 4 wickets in hand and 2 balls to spare to set up Qualifier 2 against Delhi Capitals on October 13.Most wickets in an IPL season: Harshal Patel (Royal Challengers Bangalore) – 32 wickets in IPL 2021 Dwayne Bravo (Chennai Super Kings) – 32 wickets in IPL 2013 Kagiso Rabada (Delhi Capitals) – 30 wickets in IPL 2020 Lasith Malinga (Mumbai Indians) – 28 wickets in IPL 2011 James Faulkner (Rajasthan Royals) – 28 wickets in IPL 2013The match turned out to be the final match for Virat Kohli as captain of the RCB. Kohli, who took over as RCB's full-time captain in 2013 from Daniel Vettori, had said midway during the season that he would give up captaincy after completing of IPL 2021.It was a disappointing end to one of the most talked about captaincy tenures in the IPL as Kohli finished without a trophy despite leading the franchise for 8 seasons.“I have given my best. I don’t know how the response has been, but I have given 120% to this franchise every time, which is something I will now do as a player. It is a great time to regroup and restructure for the next three years with people who will take this ahead,” the outgoing skipper said."I have tried my best to create a culture where youngsters could come in & play with freedom & belief.I have given 120% to RCB every time, which is something I will now do as a player.”You have been an inspiration, role model and the torchbearer of RCB. #ThankYouCaptainKohli pic.twitter.com/tlC0uMH2iW— Royal Challengers Bangalore (@RCBTweets) October 11, 2021“I don’t see myself playing anywhere else.

Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has been arrested and released on interim bail by Haryana police for using casteist slur against spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Yuvraj was reportedly arrested and interrogated for over 3 hours before being released. Advocate Rajat Kalsan fought a long struggle after registering an FIR under the SC ST Act in Hansi police station city. Yuvraj Singh has been released on formal bail on the orders of the court. Hansi SP Nitika Gahlout informed here today that Yuvraj has joined the investigation as directed by the court with the investigation officer today. A case was registered against Yuvraj in February this year by a Hansi-based resident over a 'distasteful' and 'disrespectful' comment against Dalit society during an Instagram discussion with Chahal from 2020.Also Read- T20 World Cup 2021 Schedule, All Teams, Host, Time Table, Venue The case was registered against Yuvraj Singh on Sunday in the Hansi police station of Hisar. Police have registered the FIR under Sections 153, 153A, 295, 505 of IPC, besides sections 3 (1) (r) and 3 (1) (s) of SC/ST Act. The FIR comes 8 months after an advocate from Hisar filed a police complaint against the cricketer for his 'casteist comments'. Yuvraj allegedly made the 'casteist remark' during a live Instagram session with India's opener Rohit Sharma in June 2020. The former World Cup winner all-rounder had issued an apology, saying he never believed in disparity. Yuvraj had taken to Twitter and apologised for "unintentionally hurting sentiments" of a particular society of people. "This is to clarify I have never believed in any kind of disparity, be it on the basis of caste, colour, creed or gender. I have given and continue to spend my life for the welfare of people. I believe in the dignity of life and respect each individual without exception," Yuvraj Singh said in his post. "I understand that while I was having a conversation with my friends, I was misunderstood, which was unwarranted. However, as a responsible Indian I want to say that if I have unintentionally hurt anybody's sentiments or feelings, I would like to express regret for the same." Yuvraj had made the comments when talking about India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal's TikTok videos.Also Read- BCCI unveils Team India's new jersey ahead of T20 World Cup
Their preparations for the T20 World Cup off to a smooth start, and India will look to finalize their batting order for the tournament-proper when they face Australia in their second and final warm-up match on Wednesday. India will clash against Pakistan in their main event lung-opener on Sunday. The tournament will be Virat Kohli's last as skipper in the format besides being the swan-song for head coach Ravi Shastri. As Kohli pointed out before the preparation game against England on Monday, India's top three is already settled when KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma opening the batting and the skipper coming in at the crucial no.3 position. Having made a stroke-filled 70 before retiring in the seven-wicket win over England, the young Ishan Kishan has also staked his claim for a place in the playing eleven. Rishabh Pant (29 not out) was promoted ahead of SuryaKumar Yadav and it remains to be seen where the latter bats on Wednesday. Rohit didn't bat against England and come Wednesday the right-hander is expected to get a go against the Australians. The talking point, however, remains all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who did not seem comfortable in his short stint against England. With Pandya not bowling, it remains to be seen whether the Indian think-tank will play him purely as a batter. India will also miss the sixth bowling option if one of the five strong attacks has an off day on the field. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had one against England on Monday, but Jasprit Bumrah was at his best. Mohammed Shami picked up three wickets, while Rahul Chahar was taken to task by the England batters. And come Wednesday, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur and mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy are expected to get a look in before the main business begins. On recent form, since losing the home series against Australia 2-0 before the 2019 ODI World Cup, India was unbeaten in eight series in a row. Since the 2016 T20 World Cup, India have played 72 T20 matches and won 45. Australia also began with winning start to their preparations with Josh Inglis hitting two fours in the final over to help his team beat New Zealand by three wickets a warm-up match in Abu Dhabi on Monday. There was mixed news for Australia in their first warm-up as David Warner's horror run continued after he was dismissed for a first-ball duck. Adam Zampa (2/17) and Kane Richardson (3/24) impressed with the ball, but a middle-order collapse meant the Australians needed late cameos from Ashton Agar (23 off 18 balls), Mitchell Starc (13 not out off 9) and Inglis (8 not out off 2) to secure the win. The Aussies have never exactly been a huge force in the shortest format and it remains to be seen whether they are able to finally get thngs going at the biggest stage. Teams (from): India: Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma (vc), KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Rahul Chahar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur. Australia: Aaron Finch (C), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins (VC), Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.Also Read- Yuvraj Singh Arrested, Released on Bail Over Casteist Remark on Yuzvendra Chahal
India produced an energetic performance with the bat on Monday to beat England by 7-wickets in their first T20 World Cup warm-up match in Dubai. Chasing 189 for victory, the 2007 champions rode on destructive half-centuries from Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul to cross the finish line with 6 balls to spare. Kishan and Rahul opened the batting and added 82 for the first wicket to lay a solid foundation for the run chase before the latter got out against the run of play for 51 to Mark Wood. Virat Kohli, who dropped to No. 3 to accommodate Rahul at the top, suffered a rare failure with the bat, scoring just 11 off 13 balls. Kishan carried on attacking the England bowlers and top-scored with 70 not out of 46 balls with 7 fours and 3 sixes before being replaced by Suryakumar Yadav, but this move did not work because he couldn't fire as according to expectations and got out for 8 with India needing 21 off 15 balls. Fortunately, the duo of Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya did what was needed and knocked off the required runs without much trouble. Pant finished the match with six and finished with 29 not out while Pandya scored 12 not out.Impressive batting performance Fine bowling display #TeamIndia beat England & win their first warm-up game. #INDvENG #T20WorldCup : Getty Images pic.twitter.com/jIBgYFqOjz— BCCI (@BCCI) October 18, 2021Earlier, Mohammed Shami snapped three wickets but Jonny Bairstow smashed a 36-ball 49 to help England post a challenging 188 for 5 after being asked to bat first by Virat Kohli. Besides Shami (3/40), fellow pacer Jasprit Bumrah (1/26) and spinner Rahul Chahar (1/43) were also among wickets at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai. Bairstow hit one six and had four hits to the fence in his knock, while Liam Livingstone (30) also contributed with the bat. But it was Moeen Ali's whirlwind 20-ball 43 which powered England to a good score in the end. India will next face Australia in their second warm-up match at the same venue on Wednesday (October 20) while England will lock horns with New Zealand in Abu Dhabi.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) could soon see some Manchester United flavour as the Red Devil owners' Glazer family are reportedly interested in buying one of the two new teams IPL teams that will take part in the tournament in 2022. According to a report by Times of India, the Glazer family has picked up the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the purchase of the two new teams for the upcoming season of the cash-rich league. The ITT does allow foreign companies to own a team however they will have to set up a company in India if their bid is successful. It is not known yet whether the US-based Glazers will make a formal bid to own a franchise. “A lot of people usually pick these tender documents to study and gather information that tends to be otherwise very useful from a larger industry perspective. For instance, buying a bid document will tell me more about what the BCCI is planning next, in terms of the league expansion, etc. For instance, if Disney has bought the tender document to buy the franchise, it doesn't mean Disney is interested in owning a franchise. It will study the document because it has to plan its own media rights landscape,” said those tracking developments to Times of India. In addition to Manchester United, the Glazers also own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the US-based National Football League (NFL). Amongst others to have picked up the document are Adani Group, Torrent Pharma, Aurobindo Pharma, RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, Hindustan Times Media, Jindal Steel (led by Naveen Jindal), entrepreneur Ronnie Screwvala and three private equity players. The deadline to purchase the ITT document was 20th October and teams are bid submissions are said to be made on the 25h October with an announcement expected on the following day. Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Guwahati, Cuttack, Indore, and Dharamsala are in contention to home to the new teams.Also Read- UEFA Champions League: Messi scores twice to rescue PSG in 3-2 win over Leipzig

Several companies around the world are said to be involved in the star-studded bidding process. Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India, extended the deadline for bidders to Wednesday, October 20.Results to IPL bidding will be declared after India-Pakistan gameAs per reports, a corporate giant in India has backed the Manchester United, whose et debt increased to 455 million GBP during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The BCCI is not keen to give the rights to an off-shore company and will prefer Indian buyers but power equations can change the script dramatically,” the source was quoted as saying, Outlook reported. The results of the tender will be announced a day after the T20 World Cup 2021 match between India and Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. “Although it is a closed bid, we are expecting a fair and transparent process.

It has also been learned that Ahmedabad and Lucknow are the frontrunners to become the two new IPL teams for the next seasons. Previously, the BCCI shortlisted six cities- Ranchi, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Ranchi and Cuttack for the same.

October 2021 was a busy month in international football, with qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, friendlies, and the final rounds of the UEFA Nations League all on the agenda. A total of 160 fixtures were played, the impact of which can be seen on the FIFA Rankings. Though their lead is now under threat, Belgium remains on top despite UEFA Nations League defeats to France (3rd, 1) and Italy (4th, 1). Among the top five, only Les Bleus and Gli Azzurri have improved their positions. India has also moved one spot ahead to the 106th position after the Sunil Chhetri-led side won the SAFF Championship. The Blue Tigers had defeated Nepal in the summit clash. Brazil remains in second place but are breathing down the neck of Belgium, just 12 points behind. England, meanwhile, dropped two places to fifth."A little further down, Spain's (7th, 1) progress at the expense of Portugal (8th, -1) is also noteworthy, as is that of Germany (12th, 2), who leapfrog USA (13th). Uruguay lost most ground among the top 20 by dropping three places to 15th," read an official FIFA statement. It is after that, however, where we find some of the most significant movers on this edition.

A torrent of social media abuse was targeted at the only Muslim player in the Indian playing XI, Mohammed Shami, after his side were thrashed by arch rivals Pakistan at the T20 World Cup. Violence against Muslims in India was also reported after the emphatic 10-wicket win on Sunday, Pakistan first victory against India at any World Cup. Cricket clashes between India and Pakistan frequently heighten tensions between the neighbours, who have fought three wars since their independence in 1947. The 31-year-old Shami became the main target after the defeat in Dubai, even though India captain Virat Kohli admitted that his team had been "outplayed".

The bids were submitted by the authorised representatives of the interested parties at Dubai today. "BCCI is pleased to announce the following successful bidders (subject to definitive documentation and other formalities being completed): "1. RPSG Ventures Ltd. Lucknow (for INR 7090 crores) "2. Irelia Company Pte Ltd. (CVC Capital Partners) Ahmedabad (for INR 5625 crores) "The new franchises will participate in IPL from 2022 season onwards subject to the bidders completing the post-bid formalities as specified in the ITT document. The IPL 2022 season will comprise ten teams and will have 74 matches, wherein each team will play 7 home and 7 away matches," the Indian cricket board said in an official release. Before 2022, the 2010 edition of the cricket ipl also featured 10 teams, with Pune Warriors India and Kochi Tuskers Kerala joining the tournament before both franchises were terminated. The BCCI will add two new teams after six years. In 2015, it added two teams - Rising Pune Supergiants and Gujarat Lions - for the 2016 and 2017 editions as replacement for the then suspended Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals teams. The BCCI was expecting a windfall in the range of Rs 10,000 crore but to their surprise, they earned Rs 12,690 crore from the two new teams that will participate in the 2022 IPL tournament. One of the major companies that lost out was Gautam Adani's Adani Group which bid around Rs 5000 crore while bids of Glazers from Manchester United and Torrent Group also fell short of the mark. It was also learned that Rhiti Sports, promoted by MS Dhoni's manager Arun Pandey, submitted a bid for Cuttack which was later rejected.Also Read- T20 World Cup: Mohammed Shami faces vicious online abuse after India loss to Pakistan
Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik is at the end of his career, but his fan following hasn’t taken a dip by any means. On Sunday, October 24, he played his first game for Pakistan after almost 14 months and fans cheered for him. The veteran was a part of the marquee clash between India and Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the T20 World Cup 2021. He didn’t get a chance to bat as Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan led Pakistan to 10 wickets win. Virat Kohli team asked the Men in Green to chase down 152 after which Babar and Rizwan made a mockery of the run-chase. Apart from cheering for Malik, the fans also poked fun at him. Malik got married to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza on April 12, 2010.Fans cheer for Shoaib MalikFor over a decade, Shoaib and Sania have given young couples plenty of couple goals. They also have a son, named Izhaan Mirza Malik, who was born in 2018. When Malik was fielding near the boundary, a few fans called him ‘jeeja ji’, which means brother-in-law. The cheers for Malik were loud and clear. A fan uploaded the video on Twitter on Monday. Mirza, who has won six Grand Slam titles in his illustrious career, reacted to the fan video. The 34-year-old posted a couple of ‘laughing’ emoticons followed by two ‘heart’ emotions. https://t.co/NE46xoSKfu— Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) October 25, 2021Prior to that, he also played a few matches for Central Punjab in the National T20 Cup. In 117 T20Is for Pakistan, Malik has churned out 2335 runs at an average of 31.13 and a strike rate of 124.20. He has also picked 28 wickets in the format since his debut back in 2006. Malik doesn’t play Test and ODI cricket anymore.Also Read- T20 World Cup: Mohammed Shami faces vicious online abuse after India loss to Pakistan
After India were made to eat humble pie on Sunday when they lost to Pakistan in the T20 World cup, former left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir took a dig at Harbhajan Singh on social media. Amir taunted Harbhajan after Pakistan's ten-wicket victory over cricket India on Sunday night, Amir took to Twitter on Monday and asked, “Harbhajan Paa ji ne TVto nai toda apna?” which loosely translates to “Did Harbhajan break his TV.” The comment was made over the taunts of Indians about Pakistani fans breaking their television sets after losing to India in the past editions of world cups.hello everyone woh pochna yeah tha @harbhajan_singh paa ji ne TV to ni tora apna koi ni hota hai end of the day its a game of cricket .— Mohammad Amir (@iamamirofficial) October 25, 2021To this, Singh replied on Twitter saying, “Ab Tum bi bologe @iamamirofficial. yeh 6 ki landing tumhare ghar k tv par to nahi hui thi ?? Koi nahi hota hai end of the day it’s a game of cricket as u rightly said” which loosely translates to “Now you will also say things? Did this six land on your TV at home?” With this tweet he attached a video of him hitting a last over six against Pakistan.

"Lords mai no ball kaise ho gya tha ?? Kitna liya kisne diya ? Test cricket hai no ball kaise ho sakta hai? Shame on u and ur other supporters for disgracing this beautiful game," tweeted Harbhajan.

However, the Turbanator did not relent in his opinion of Amir. Taking to Twitter, Harbhajan said: "For people like you @iamamirofficial only Paisa paisa paisa paisa .. na izzat na kuch aur sirf paisa..bataoge nahi apne desh walo ko aur supporters ko k kitna mila tha .. get lost I feel yuk talking to people like you for insulting this game and making people fool with ur acts."

India got off to the worst possible start with openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul sent back to the pavilion by Shaheen Afridi within three overs with just six runs on the board. Shaheen Afridi had Rohit trapped in front of the wicket for a duck and then bowled Rahul through the gate. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant then joined forces to add 53 runs in quick time before the latter was caught out by leg-spinner Shadab Khan off his own bowling in the 13th over. Kohli was finally dismissed by Afridi after scoring a 49-ball 57. India was restricted to 151 in their 20 overs. Chasing 152 to win, Pakistan openers had no trouble in making light work of the target as Indian bowlers failed to get the breakthrough. Skipper Babar Azam stroked his way to unbeaten 68 runs while his opening partner, Mohammad Rizwan, smashed an unbeaten 79 runs to take the team past the finish line.Also Read- T20 World Cup: Mohammed Shami faces vicious online abuse after India loss to Pakistan
In the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE, Pakistan have emerged as the strongest team in Group 2. Out of the six teams which are in this group, India, Pakistan and New Zealand (ranked 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively in the ICC T20I team rankings) are the three higher ranked teams, while Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia (ranked 8th, 14th and 19th respectively in the IC T20I team rankings) are the three lower ranked teams. Pakistan, in their first two matches have beaten the other two highest ranked teams in their group, India by 10 wickets and New Zealand by 5 wickets. This gave them a solid NRR of +0.738. They sit at the top of the group with 4 points from two games and are top of the group. Their remaining three matches will be against the lower ranked teams - Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia, which they are expected to win. Therefore, Pakistan looks in good shape to set a perfect record of 5 wins in the Super 12 stage and advance to the semi-finals. On the other hand, both India and New Zealand have yet to open their accounts. Both teams have played one match so far and both have lost, both of course to Pakistan. And this makes their clash against each other, which incidentally will be the next match for both these teams, a potential do or die affair.Assuming Pakistan, India and New Zealand defeat Afghanistan, Namibia and Scotland, the team that wins the India-New Zealand match will be the team that joins Pakistan in the semi-finals. After Pakistan beat New Zealand on Tuesday, there are now only two scenarios possible as far as Group 2 is concerned - either India beat NZ or NZ beat India. In scenario 1 - If India beat NZ - then India will finish on 8 points (assuming they beat Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia) and NZ will finish on 6 points (assuming they beat Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia). In this scenario, Pakistan and India will be the two teams going into the semi-finals from this group. This of course is based on the hypothesis that Pakistan, India and NZ will all beat Afghanistan, Namibia and Scotland. In scenario 2 - If New Zealand beat India - then India will end on 6 points (assuming they beat Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia) and NZ will finish with 8 points (assuming they beat Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia). And if this happens, then the Kiwis will be joining Pakistan as the second team from Group 2 to qualify for the knockouts. This of course is based on the hypothesis that Pakistan, India and NZ will all beat Afghanistan, Namibia and Scotland. Of course, T20 is the most fickle format of the sport and an upset is not going to be surprising. The team which loses on Sunday could still make the semis, provided the other team is upset by a lower ranked team or teams and they themselves win their remaining matches. The Men in Blue play the Black Caps on Sunday, October 31. While India vs Pakistan was a keenly followed clash for obvious reasons, India vs New Zealand will be perhaps the most crucial encounter for both these teams. India is ranked higher than NZ in the team rankings in T20I cricket, but history favours New Zealand in their more recent encounters vs India in ICC tournaments. Incredibly, the last time India beat the Kiwis in an ICC tournament was way back in the 203 ICC ODI World Cup. In fact, in the last 5 meetings between these two teams in ICC tournaments, NZ have beaten India four times In T20 clashes overall as well it's the Black Caps who hold the edge. In 16 T20I meetings between the two teams, NZ have won 8, while India won 6 of these matches. Two matches were tied. The Men in Blue team is looking forward to their second t20 worldcup title. They will have to be at their best to keep those hopes real and good.Also Read- India vs Pakistan: Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Amir engage in war of words on Twitter

The T20 World Cup 2021 has been an eventful affair so far. The fans have been all raring to watch the action unfold in the mega event. However, in the middle of the ongoing tournament, a fan asked former India cricketer Virender Sehwag who he thinks will clinch the title this year. Sehwag is always super active across his social media platforms. The former batter never shies away from expressing his opinions on the game. Thus, whilst answering the question of the fan, Sehwag was quick enough to back the Virat Kohli-led side in the marquee event. He pinned his hopes on team India to lift the trophy this year and also asked the people to support the team at times of defeat.India only have to play better cricket here onwards: Virender Sehwag“According to me, it’s Team India who will win this T20 World Cup. They’ll only have to play better cricket here onwards. We always cheer for our team when it wins but when it loses we have to support it even more. So, I believe that India can win the T20 World Cup,” Sehwag said in his latest episode of Virugiri Dot Com on Instagram. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag)Team India did not have a positive start to their t20 worldcup campaign. The team locked horns with Pakistan in their opening fixture. Although Men in Blue entered the competition as favorites to win considering their record against Pakistan in ICC events, the team faced defeat by ten wickets. The Babar Azam-led side exuded some great character to break India’s 12 matches winning streak and registered a thumping victory. Shaheen Shah Afridi was clinical with the ball as he sent back both the openers early on. Chasing down the target of 152, Pakistan’s openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan played belligerent knocks to take the team past the victory. India's next mission is against New Zealand. Both sides have lost their previous encounters with Pakistan and will be keen on getting to winning ways. It will be a crucial match for both teams as a loss here will affect their chances of reaching the semi-finals.Also Read- Neeraj Chopra, Ravi Dahiya, Lovlina Borgohain among 11 recommended for Khel Ratnas
Indian captain Virat Kohli on Saturday hit out at the social media abuse that was aimed at pacer Mohammed Shami after the team loss to Pakistan in the ICC Men’s t20 worldcup. The 31-year-old Shami was abused on social media after the 10-wicket defeat in Dubai, even though Kohli acknowledged that his side had been outplayed as a team. In a virtual press interaction ahead of India’s October 31 clash with New Zealand, Kohli brushed aside the “spineless” trolls, suggesting that those on the inside do not care about the “outside voice”. “There’s a reason we are playing on the field and not those spineless people,” Kohli said. “It’s unfortunate and sad to see people getting entertained. That is why we are doing what we are and those spineless people are doing what they are.” “Many people hide their identity in social media then try to troll the players and it is the lowest point in their life – all dramas outside due to the lack of self-confidence of them, we know how to back the players, there is no value from the outside voice.” Regrettably, Shami, the only Muslim player in the playing XI against Pakistan, was targeted over his religious beliefs, whereas incidents of communal harmony being disrupted in a few parts of the nation were reported the same day. “To me attacking someone over their religion is the most pathetic thing a human being can do. Everyone has the right to voice their opinion but I personally have never even thought of discriminating someone over their religion,” Kohli said. “This is literally the lowest potential as a human being one can operate at.” “That [religious beliefs] is a very sacred and a personal thing to every human being and that should be left there. People take out their frustrations because they obviously have no understanding of what we do as individuals. They have no understanding of how much effort we put on the field. They have no understanding of the fact that someone like Mohammed Shami has won India a lot of matches in last few years and he’s been our primary bowler with Jasprit Bumrah when it comes to making an impact. “We are doing what we are doing on the field and none of these people [trolls] are even in the vicinity to even imagine doing something like that. They do not have the courage or the spine to do that. That is how I see things. “As a group, we understand how we need to stick together and how we need to back individuals and how need to focus on our strengths and whether people on the outside portray the fact that India cannot afford to lose a game of cricket is none of our business because we play sport and we understand how sport goes. So, how people think on the outside adds no value whatsoever. We never focussed on it and we will never focus on it going forward either.” “If people can overlook that and his passion for the country, honestly I don’t even want to waste one minute of my life to give any attention to the people, neither does Shami and neither does anyone else in the team. We stand by him fully. We are backing him 200% and all those who attacked him can come with more force if they want to. “Our brotherhood, our friendship within the team and nothing can be shaken. I can guarantee you as a captain of the team that we have built a culture where these things will not even be infiltered into this environment at all and that is a absolute guarantee from my side. A slew of former indian cricketer stood in solidarity with Shami. “The online attack on Mohammad Shami is shocking and we stand by him. He is a champion and anyone who wears the India cap has India in their hearts far more than any online mob. With you Shami. Agle match mein dikado jalwa,” tweeted former India opener Sehwag. Sachin Tendulkar, too, lauded Shami for his commitment, while he reckoned that like any other player, it was merely an off day for the pacer. “When we support #TeamIndia, we support every person who represents Team India. @MdShami11is a committed, world-class bowler. He had an off day like any other sportsperson can have. I stand behind Shami & Team India.”Also Read- I believe that India can win the T20 World Cup: Virender Sehwag
It's not the first-time cricket fans in the country have had to sit with calculators and figure out permutations and combinations in a cricket season. But for the first time in recent memory, fans of the Indian cricket team will be eagerly awaiting as Virat Kohli's men are on the brink of a shocking early exit in T20 World Cup 2021. Billed as one of the pre-tournament favourites, India have shocked quite a few with their listless performances so far at the T20 World Cup. India's body language, their mental strength has all come into question after two humbling defeats. India's campaign at the t20 worldCup got off to a terrible start as they lost to arch-rivals Pakistan by 10 points. It was Pakistan's first win over India in a World Cup match and they got it in style by chasing down a 152-run target without losing a wicket and with 13 balls to spare. A week-long break did India no good, it seems as they were hammered by 8 wickets by New Zealand, who restricted a listless indian cricketer batting line-up to just 110 in 20 overs during which they went without a boundary for 70 balls. New Zealand got past the finish line in 14.3 overs. The two big defeats meant India's Net Run Rate has taken a massive beating. Only 2 teams will qualify from each of the two Super 12 groups and India's chances are looking bleak at the moment.What does the T20 World Cup 2021 points table look like?Did you see this coming? #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/fxK4E0eHW7— ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) October 31, 2021Pakistan is on top of the 6-team table with 3 wins in as many matches. The 2009 champions are all but through to the semi-final, as their last two matches are against associates, Scotland and Namibia. Pakistan made a statement by beating India, New Zealand and Afghanistan in their first 3 matches. It is safe to say that 3 teams are still in the race for the second spot in Group 2 of the Super 12 - Afghanistan, New Zealand and India and pretty much in that order.T20 World Cup: How can India still hope to qualify for the semi-final? India's upcoming matchesVs Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi on November 3 Vs Scotland in Dubai on November 5 Vs Namibia in Dubai on November 8New Zealand's upcoming matchesVs Scotland in Dubai on November 3 Vs Namibia in Sharjah on November 5 Vs Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi on November 7 Afghanistan's upcoming matchesVs India on November 3 in Abu Dhabi Vs New Zealand on November 7 in Dubai India's only chance of reaching the semi-finals is hope for a 3-way (or 4-way tie) for the semi-final spots at 6 points. If Pakistan wins one of the next two matches, it will guarantee them a place in the semi-finals. While India can't reach 8 points from hereon, Afghanistan and New Zealand can get to 8 points. Provided the more fancied teams avoid shocks in Group 2 from here on, the November 7 match between Afghanistan and New Zealand will assume a lot of importance.What do India need to reach the semi-finals?It's simple. Win all their next 3 matches and win them by big margins to boost their Net Run Rate which is reeling at -1.609. Scenario 1 India will hope they can beat Afghanistan by a big margin on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi and Mohammad Nabi's men go on to beat New Zealand in their final Super 12 match. However, if India are tied on points with Afghanistan, it's less likely that they will be able to overtake Nabi's side on Net Run Rate. Scenario 2 India should beat Afghanistan by a big margin and hope New Zealand beat Afghanistan in their final Super 12 match -- meaning, Afghanistan don't get to 6 points from here. However, New Zealand should lose to one of Namibia or Scotland as it gives Virat Kohli's men an opportunity to overtake the Black Caps' NRR.Can Scotland and Namibia help India?Well, there are more ways that India can qualify for the semi-finals. There are two unexpected as India needs Scotland and Namibia to pull off a couple of big upsets. For example, if Pakistan loses its next two games to Scotland and Namibia and India wins its next three games by a big margin, there is a chance that India going through and their arch-rivals getting knocked out in the Super 12 stages. Well, doesn't it look unlikely? India can benefit from Scotland and Namibia's victory over New Zealand, with India winning the remaining matches by a wide margin. All said and done, India have failed to live up to their reputation so far at T20 World Cup 2021. As former cricketer Vinod Kambli wrote on social media, this has been one of India's worst-ever World Cup performances, if not the worst-ever, given the talent and potential the side has been able to develop over the years.Also Read- CSK reward Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra with Rs 1 crore
World Cup-winning former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has decided to come out of retirement in February next year “on public demand”, more than two years after he called it quits. In a surprise late-night post on Instagram on Monday, 39-year-old Yuvraj posted a clip of his final century for India when he smashed 150 against England in Cuttack in January 2017 and posted a message about his possible comeback. “God decides your destiny !!On public demand il be back on the pitch hopefully in February ! Ain’t nothing like this feeling! “Thank you for your love and wishes, mean a lot to me ! Keep supporting IND it’s our team and a true fan will show his or her support in tough times,” Yuvraj wrote. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Yuvraj Singh (@yuvisofficial)It is unclear whether he will be returning to be in contention for a place in the Indian team or in T20 leagues. The 2011 World Cup Player of the Tournament, the swashbuckling all-rounder had announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in June 2019. There were also talks that he may come out of retirement to play domestic cricket for Punjab and was even included in the 30-man list of probables for the 2020-21 Syed Mushtaq Ali but did not play. After retiring from international cricket, the southpaw played in franchise cricket around the world. He also featured in the Road Safety World Series and Abu Dhabi T10 league earlier this year. Indian cricketer Yuvraj played 304 ODIs and 40 Tests, scoring 8701 and 1900 runs respectively after making his debut in October 2000. He also took 111 ODI wickets with his left-arm spin bowling.Also Read- Messi confirms he will 'return to Barcelona' after PSG stint
India will look to end their underwhelming T20 World Cup 2021 campaign on a high when they take on Namibia in the final league game on Monday. Coach Ravi Shastri and captain Virat Kohli would also eye a winning end to a significant chapter in the history of Indian cricket, as Shastri and Kohli are stepping down as the head coach and T20I captain after this tournament. Against Namibia, they will surely like to win it big and skipper Kohli would do a world of good if he allows the likes of Rahul Chahar to get a game and gives Ishan Kishan another go. The senior players would gain precious little against the David Wiese's of the world save for beefing up their individual statistics. Very rarely has an Indian team played such an inconsequential game at an ICC event since its last league game in the 1992 World Cup against South Africa after already being out of the race for the semi-finals. It is not the first time that India is out of a global tournament before the last four stages, but it was not at all frustrating when one can clearly read the writing on the wall. The two losses to Pakistan and New Zealand -in which they got outplayed - had already put India on the exit path. From there, it was more of a battle pitching hope against hope and it eventually all came crashing with New Zealand's eight-wicket win over Afghanistan. And that is something that will hurt Shastri, a proud man, who has done his bit to make this a formidable all-condition Test team with a lethal fast bowling attack. Their fabulous term saw India achieve the pinnacle of Test cricket glory with back-to-back series wins in Australia, a near-win on the recent tour of England, three dominating seasons at home and a phenomenal run up to the semifinals of the 2019 ICC 50-over World Cup. This campaign also brings an end to the four-year stint of head coach Ravi Shastri, bowling coach Bharat Arun and fielding coach R Sridhar, who have decided to move on. For Kohli, who is all set to even lose his ODI captaincy in the coming days, this wasn't how he would have liked to end his T20 captaincy stint with the national team having already quit IPL captaincy. It is also the first time since the 2013 Champions Trophy that an Indian men's team has failed to reach at least the semi-final stage of an ICC event. They were champions in the 50 over Champions Trophy in 2013, followed by runners-up finish in T20 World Cup in 2014. In the 2015 ODI World Cup, the team lost in the semifinals. The 2016 t20worldcup saw them reach the last four stage while they lost to Pakistan in the 2017 final of the 50-over Champions Trophy. In 2019, his ODI World Cup campaign ended in the semi-finals, and the two-year Test World Championship also ended in a final defeat. A combination of factors led to this debacle and if Kohli's poor captaincy and selection is one factor, the problems were certainly compounded by players like Hardik Pandya, who didnt reveal the full extent of their fitness status to the national selectors. However, these fatigue-levels notwithstanding, the team faltered on multiple fronts too. Shreyas Iyer and Yuzvendra Chahal's non-selection, uncertainty about who'll open, an unplanned middle-order and not having a game plan with an in-form Shardul Thakur in focus could've been aspects for the indian cricketer to look at. cricket india will take the flight back home and begin their journey to the 2022 edition of the T20 World Cup under new head coach and a new captain on a fresh note. Namibia have managed to beat only Scotland so far in their Super 12 engagements after making the tournament-proper for the first time in the T20 format.

Virat Kohli, on Monday, ended his tenure as the captain of the India’s T20 international team with 30 wins in five years with Namibia being the latest side to go down against the Men in Blue at the ICC T20 World Cup in Dubai. Kohli was second most successful indian cricketer captain in his shortest format after Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who left the mantle in 2016 after stepping down as the white-ball captain. Kohli ends his T20I captaincy career with 30 wins and 16 losses from 50 games. He is also the second behind Australia's Aaron Finch on the list of most runs by captains in T20I cricket with 1570 runs from 47 innings at an average of 47.57 which includes 13 half-centuries. But regardless of all the batting and captaincy records, the fact that will hurt Virat Kohli the most would be the lack of ICC titles under his leadership. The T20 World Cup 2021 gave Kohli the last chance to win an ICC title in the format as captain but unfortunately, cricket india failed to make the knockouts of the tournament for the first time since the 2012 edition after crashing out in the Super 12s. The heavy defeats against Pakistan (10 wickets) and New Zealand (8 wickets) last month massively hurt indian cricketer the most in this tournament. Although Kohli managed to inspire his team to win in their next two games against Afghanistan and Scotland to keep the team's slim chances of reaching the semi-finals alive, it was not enough to keep them in the competition as New Zealand's victory over Afghanistan dashed all their hopes of advancing to the semi-final. Kohli however, will bow out on a high note as they beat the Namibians in their final match of this campaign by 9 wickets to finish third in Group 2. His deputy is the most-likely candidate to take over the reins from the home series against New Zealand next week while Kohli will switch his captaincy focus towards the one-day internationals and Tests, where he will still be eyeing his first major trophy.Also Read- PTV sends Rs 100 million defamation notice to Shoaib Akhtar

Rohit Sharma will join hands with newly-appointed head coach Rahul Dravid, who will take over from the New Zealand Series. India is playing two tests after the T20I series but BCCI has yet to announce the Test team.

He has been preferred over Rahul Chahar, who played only 1 match -- the dead rubber against Namibia at the World Cup. Off-spinner R Ashwin has been retained after his impressive performances on his return to the T20I side after a 4-year-gap at the T20 World Cup. Bhuvneshwar Kumar also retains his place in the side while pacer Mohammed Siraj returns to the T20I side for the first time since March 2018.

India Look To Keep Winning Combination In RanchiIndia concludes its recent disappointment at the 2021 T20 World Cup with a five-wicket victory over New Zealand in the T20I series at Jaipur. The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, led Rahul Dravid to victory in his first match as a new senior coach. However, the think tank may not have thought much about his victory as it took time to correct the goals of the 165 races set by the visitors. For the second game, the team manager may consider joining the same group to win the series before making any changes to Game XI before the final.Kuala Lumpur Raffle: The newly appointed T20I Deputy Captain is looking forward to a modest lead in the first game, scoring only 15 times from 14 balls. Rahul looked good on the patch, but he couldn't move forward and turned his back in an attempt to catch Mitchell Santner.Rohit Sharma: The captain drove head-on, showed various shots and then dropped a single score of 48 points. Winning as captain gives Rohit new confidence in the rest of the match.Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar went out on the field with a positive intention and did nothing for the player in his amazing 62 game strike with a hit rate of over 150.Rishabh Pant: Wicket-keeper Pant showed a great application and played in a good position when Daryl Mitchell hit the out-of-bounds in the final round of the match and pushed the team to the goal line.Shreyas Iyer: Iyer's return to the team was unforgettable after being removed from the Indian team at the T20 World Cup in the UAE and Oman. Ayer looked weak during an eight-ball stint in the penalty area and missed the ball along the way. At that time, management expected him to drive the team home with his pants.Venkatesh Iyer: All-terrain rookie Venkatesh Iyer didn't have the opportunity to play the ball, but he started his football career with an international cricket with four great people. However, he would be disappointed not to end the game because he was the victim of the reverse sweep of Mitchell's delivery.Axar Patel: Axar tries to win more in the game at Ranchi without losing a small gate in the opening match. He allowed 31 runs with 4 overs and he faced only one ball while chasing India.Ravichandran Ashwin: Ashwin was late in the wicket line, but he certainly had an impact when he got two wickets with two decent numbers of 23. The two wickets helped reduce New Zealand's culling rate.Bovneshwar Kumar: The form of Bovneshwar in the first match was very positive for the Indian national team. He seemed to be in full control as he shook the ball in both directions to catch two wickets in a six economy.Deepak Shahar: Shahar wants to improve the economy by giving more than 40 points in the first match. He threw the ball into the right area, but often lost control of his streak and handed many poor deliveries to New Zealand batters.Mohamed Siraj: Siraj looked like someone who came from a break after the IPL. His improvements can only be expected in the next match of the series. He made a small cut with 4 overs giving 39 rounds.For read daily article and know about sports news to visit here - Pitchhigh

However, in recent months, targeted killings in Kashmir have raised suspicions on the ground.India invited Pakistan's National Security Agency to the NSA's regional talks on Afghanistan, but Islamabad declined.

Cummins couldn't have asked for a better start to his stint as Australian Test Leader, taking the pacemaker 5 wickets in the early rounds of Ash's first Test against England at Gabba. Cummins advanced 5/38 as England packed for 147 within two sessions of the series-opening.It was a baptism of fire for Pat Cummins, who took over as Australia Test captain from Tim Payne ahead of the much-anticipated Ashes series at home. However, Cummins showed no signs of having nerves while working to be Australia's bomber.Cummins threw 13.1 overs and took 5 wickets, including Ben Stokes and Haseeb Hamid. In fact, Cummins' first scalp as Australia's Test captain was Stokes, who hit one by one, jumping a bit higher and hitting the south ball.With 5 wickets taken, Pat Cummins became the second Australian captain after George Geffen in 1984 to take 5 wickets in the first Test as captain. Cummins also became the first captain since Bob Willis to take 5 wickets in the Ashes Test in 1982.Meanwhile, Cummins joins the list of elite captains who took 5 wickets on their first day at the summit.

It was just a line at the end of the press release announcing the Test Team for the Tour of South Africa. On Wednesday, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry dismissed Virat Kohli from the leadership of the Indian ODI team and handed the full load of the white ball to Rohit Sharma. The test unlocks tool will now drive both sides of the T20I and ODI.A senior official in the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry said that this decision had been in the works for some time, but the final decision was made by the selectors. BCCI wanted complete clarity between the red ball and the white cricket ball. The BCCI wanted a complete separation (of command) between the longer and shorter format to avoid confusion. In the end, the decision was left to the selector. They have decided to appoint Rohit as the new captain of ODI,” a BCCI source told the Indian Express.In contrast to the change of leadership of the T20I, where Kohli made the announcement citing his workload, the change of leadership of ODI is seen as a BCCI decision. Three months ago, after resigning as T20I captain, Kohli expressed his desire to lead India in Tests and ODIs in the future. “Understanding the workload is very important, considering the huge workload I have been in playing all three formats over the past 8-9 years and captaining regularly for the last 5-6 years, I feel I have to be a part of the Indian team. You need to be in a position to fully prepare to drive. ODI Cricket and Test Team,” he wrote on Instagram on September 16.However, after India's expected exit from the T20 World Cup, it became clear that BCCI was not on the same page as Kohli. They will make it official at the first opportunity they are given. Announcement of the Test Team in which Kohli was the Captain and Sharma the Vice Captain: “The All India Supreme Selection Committee has also decided to appoint Mr. Rohit Sharma as the captain of the ODI and T20I teams.”Indian Express has also learned that Kohli was not informed of the decision in advance. Again, this was a departure from the past. While stepping down as T20I captain, Kohli recalled his talks with former India coach Ravi Shastri, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, and Board Secretary Jay Shah before making the decision. It was also his choice to leave leading the Royal Challengers Bangalore team in the Indian Premier League.The first indications of Kohli's volatile stance on the bench came when BCCI hired MS Dhoni as the team's mentor at the October-November T20 World Cup. Kohli's inability to win the ICC events was a concern of the Indian Board of Directors. Insiders say it was India's performance in the T20 World Cup that decided Kohli's future. However, in a move that surprised even BCCI officials, Kohli announced his decision to quit driving T20I even before the tournament started. His desire to continue as a test and ODI captain worried the stewards. With India hosting the 2023 World Cup for 50 years, Kohli did not want to let go of the ODI captain. In a way, it was Kohli who was abusing the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Remove me from the ODI Team Leader position, if you wish. BCCI did the same on Wednesday.Going back in timeThe captain's decisions in Indian cricket are never left to the players. Kapil Dev was fired a year after his 1983 World Cup win. Sunil Gavaskar resigned after winning the 1985 World Cricket Championship. Sourav Ganguly was revoked under bitter circumstances. Even Dhoni, who had three world titles in his bag, was hit in the shoulder by the selection committee at the time when it felt the need to change the white ball captain. Kohli probably couldn't read the room.In another interesting development, the selectors have promoted Sharma to auditioning for Vice Captain instead of Ajinkya Rahane, despite the latter being selected for the three-game series in South Africa. Sharma's growing standing on the team could give way to reading between the lines, which has begun to phase out Kohli's style.Kohli has been one of the most successful white ball captains in India. In the 95 ODI, he won 65, giving him a win percentage of over 70. In the 45 T20I, he led India to win 27 times. Sharma has always been Kohli's assistant in limited cricket, captaining the team in 10 ODI and 19 T20I before being given the full-time job during the last three-match streak against New Zealand. I started with a clean sweep. Five IPL titles led by the Mumbai Indians made him the successor to Kohli.Read more latest news to visit now - PITCHHIGH
Regardless of India's performance at the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli remained the captain of the White Ball unless he abandoned the leadership of the T20I team. When Kori resigned as captain in a short form, the selector decided to separate the red ball and lead the white ball completely to avoid confusion."We (BCCI) asked Virat not to resign as the T20I captain. We had no plans to change the captain, but he resigned as the T20I captain and the selector should not split his limited leadership. They chose a completely different captain, "ganguly told Indian Express.It is believed that the failure to win the ICC event could put pressure on Kori's limited surplus captains and affect the outcome of the T20 World Cup. However, it is understood that the limiter maintained Kori as a leader of all its forms.ganguly talked about the team's excellent performance in all formats led by Kori, but his failure to win the ICC event was the only missing part. In fact, to help Kori, BCCI has hired MS Dhoni as the mentor for the T20 World Cup team. This decision was "fully accepted" by a former Indian White Ball captain.India was removed from the T20 World Cup on the group stage, but this does not jeopardize Kori's position.However, the latter refused to continue as the captain of the T20I, so the limiter had to nominate Rohit Sharma for all-overs of Limited Cricket. "The bottom line is that you can't have two white ball captains," said a former Indian captain.Indian cricket is not accustomed to having different captains of different shapes, which are common in England and Australia. When asked if the split captain and the two powerhouses in the team could cause problems in the future, ganguly replied no. India had previously split the captain for two years, with Kori leading the test team and Doni leading the limited cricket.The BCCI chief told Kori about the changing leadership of ODI. "I spoke to him. The coach spoke to him," said the chairman.Three months ago, after resigning as T20I captain, Kholi expressed his desire to lead India in future testing and ODI."It's very important to understand the workload. Given the huge workload I've played in all three formats for the last 8-9 years and have been a regular captain for the last 5-6 years, I think I feel I have to be part of the Indian team .. You need to be fully ready to drive. ODI Cricket and Test Team ", he wrote on Instagram on September 16th. The captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore has also left the IPL.Kholi is one of Whiteball's most successful captains. With 95 ODI he won 65. With 45T20I, he beat India 27 times. But his drop in level could be one of the reasons he doesn't want to continue to focus more on attacking him as the captain of the T20I. Over the last two years, he has scored 560 points in 12 ODIs in less than a century. The average for this period was 46.66, well below his career average of 59.07.

Chandigarh: Athletes gave India reason to rejoice with the best medals ever at the Olympic and Paralympic Games held in Tokyo under the COVID-19 cloud.Two-time Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar's blessing on prodigy Ravi Dahia's rise to a silver medalist in Tokyo, Bajrang Puneya, who won bronze with a heavy knee, reports on TOI's 2021 share of pain and gains.One thing was clear from the statements of Tokyo Olympic medalists Ravi Dahiya and Bajrang Bunya. The two were unwilling to accept rare silver medals and bronze medals of equal value, respectively.If someone scrolls through the Bajrang timeline on his social media account, the Asian and Commonwealth Games champion can be seen sleeping with him alongside the bronze medalist in Tokyo, with the caption: " The dream has yet to change reality. "Dahiyeh also cropped a static image on the podium, realizing that the job was not done yet. Settling in second place, he said, "I didn't come to Tokyo to win silver. That wouldn't give me satisfaction. I couldn't get what I wanted."However, Ravi's silver and Bajrang's bronze ensured that India was not left empty in wrestling, as in the end there was a sense of dissatisfaction after the wrestlers failed to achieve great performances.Suburb, a resident of Nahari village in Haryana's Sonipat district, was definitely one of the black horses of the Indian squad in Tokyo. It was his courage and valor that made him an overnight sensation despite losing the 57kg final to defending champion Zavor Ojeev, a fighter who has dominated the weight class for nearly four years.Most interesting is the way 23-year-old Ravi entered the Olympic final. The Chhatrasal Stadium result of 2-9 in the second half saw a dramatic comeback when Kazakhstan's double world medalist Norrislam Sanayev lost in the semi-finals.Currently, Ravi has the silver medal. However, he has his eyes set on gold at Paris 2024 Like Ravi, Bajrang has set high standards for himself. Not many will realize the fact that the three-time World Championship medalist was disabled from a knee injury even before her appearance at the Games.Bajrang had sprained his right knee during a preliminary tournament in Russia and had been out of the field for 25 days before the Olympics. However, Bajrang was careful not to return empty-handed as he challenged a heavy tie on his knee to defeat Kazakh Daulat Niyazbekov 8-0 in the 65kg bronze medal match.As the search for a foreign coach continues, the Chhaggar-born fighter eagerly awaits the 2022 package, as he seeks to defend his titles at the Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, and eventually the gold medal in Paris.Aside from the duo, Deepak Bunya and Finch Phogat raised hopes of some medals, but young defenders Sonam Malik and Anshu Malik were not up to the task in the Japanese capital.Furthermore, the alleged involvement of two-time Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar in the death of fighter Sagar Rana at Chhatrasal Stadium shook the entire nation. Sushil is now behind bars.Furthermore, the president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) Brij Bhushan Charan Singh painted the game in the wrong image by raising his hand for an older wrestler during the under-15 tournament in Ranchi.For cricket news to click here - Virat vs BCCI: We'll deal with it, says Ganguly
Asian Champions Trophy Hockey: India lose 3-5 to Japan in semis, to play Pakistan in bronze medal clashDhaka: India, a defending champion and Olympic bronze medalist lost 3-5 to Japan in the second semi-final of the AFC Champions Cup men's hockey tournament on Tuesday.Japan was very different on Tuesday as they played Manpreet Singh's winger from the start.The Indians were nowhere near their final performance in the match against Japan, as their defense collapsed under relentless pressure from the lower-ranked opponent from the start of the match.This was in stark contrast to India's performance in their last game against Japan, where the Olympic medalists never recovered from their first goals.Japan led 2-0 in the first two minutes and it looks like the Indians took a hit and played hockey after that.Japan scored through Shota Yamada (first-minute penalty), Riki Fujishima (2), Yoshiki Kirishita (29), Kosei Kwabe (35), and Ryoma Oka (41).Hardik Singh (17, 58) and deputy captain Harmanpreet Singh (43) scored for India.India and Japan met 18 times, the host country won 16 matches, while Japan won once and ended in a draw.Japan will now face South Korea at the summit, while India will again face Pakistan in the bronze medal match on Wednesday.The tournament ended in a hostile climax for India after they topped the Round Robin stages with an undefeated record.In the second semifinal of the day, South Korea beat Pakistan 6-5 in a thrilling clash.The Indians were supposed to enter the game with confidence after their last quarterfinal game, but the scene was quite different on Tuesday.It was the Japanese who attacked from the beginning and took full control of the first quarter.Japan's dominance can be measured by the fact that it scored six penalties in the first six minutes, two of which were goals. He was awarded a penalty for the first time in the first minute, which resulted in a penalty and Yamada did not miss a penalty.The Asian Games gold medalists continued to pressure the Indian defense, scoring five more corner kicks in a minute and a half, one of which resulted in another goal from Raiki Fujishima.Japan completely dominated the first 15 minutes as they launched attack after attack at the Indian goal to surprise the Olympic bronze medalists.It was a completely disappointing performance from India as they failed to score a single goal in the first 15 minutes.Prepared by captain Manpreet Singh and Dilpreet Singh, losing by two goals, the Indians came out more objectively in the second quarter and reduced the gap in the 17th minute with a field goal from Hardik.India kept pushing and got their first penalty in the 19th minute, but Japanese goalkeeper Neelam Sanjeev Ziss saved.But Japan did not hold back and relied on their swift counterattacks, which trapped the Indian defense several times during the match.From one of these counterattacks, Japan got another penalty that was missed by India's teacher Krishna Bahadur Pathak and this time Kirishita got up and opened his breath to advance 3-1.After swapping ends, Japan again surprised India when Kwabe fired an impromptu shot at the open goal and the Indian defense stopped believing they were taking a penalty. But the referee seized the opportunity.Oka scored from close range in the 41st minute off some great left flank action by Kenta Tanaka.Two minutes later, Harmanpreet converted India's second penalty.After trailing 2-5, India was chasing goals and soon received two more penalties, but both missed.With just over a minute to go, India secured their fifth penalty, and this time Hardik scored his second goal of the day from another.The captain of India, Manpreet Singh, was very upset with the result.He said: "It is not the result we wanted. We were a bit lazy at the beginning, we lost two opening goals. The biggest lesson for us is that we cannot underestimate any team, we have to prepare for tomorrow's game. We need to stay."Also read - Why are you, captain?' Ricky Ponting slams Joe Root comments
CSA said that the decision of the tour South Africa to be played without fans from a Covid-risk perspective.South African cricket said Monday that the India South Africa Series, starting with Test Boxing Day at Centurion on December 26, will be played without spectators due to the COVID-19 situation in the country.South Africa last week reported a record number of daily Covid-19 cases in the fourth wave, which is believed to be the main cause of the Omicron variant.South Africa to be played without fans“Unfortunately, CSA would like to inform the most ardent cricket fans, as well as all sports fans, that due to the increase in COVID cases worldwide and the fourth wave locally, both cricket authorities have decided to announce the launch of A Making a joint decision for the sake of safety and the tour not to offer tickets to India against Proteas Prasad.He added, "This decision was taken to avoid any violations that could jeopardize the Tour from a COVID risk standpoint and also maintain a risk-free environment."The CSA is investigating several alternative public offerings. The series takes place amid a growing threat of COVID-19 cases after the Omicron case surfaced last month. The country has seen a sudden increase in the number of cases in recent weeks. The tour was already in great doubt due to the prevailing situation but the boards of directors of both countries agreed to move forward.On Sunday, the CSA postponed the remaining rounds of the four-day franchise series, the country's main national competition, as a precaution due to COVID-19 concerns.Visitors who arrived here on December 16 are staying at the Irene Lodge, a resort entirely dedicated to them by the CSA to ensure a strict biological bubble is maintained throughout the chain.The third round will be held in Cape Town starting January 11th. This series is part of the new ICC World Trials Championship."...are able to enjoy an environment, while still adhering to high-security measures and fulfilling their duty of care," the council said.The decision was made after much deliberation, Foletsi Moscicki“We are aware of the interest expressed by fans and other stakeholders in being able to return to the stadium and would like to assure all cricket fans that this decision was not made lightly, but in the best interests of the sport for the health and safety of all customers,” said Muteki., acting CEO of CSA, said.Also Read - IPL 2022 Retention: Quick Recap
For a country with long memories of watching its fighters revolt at high speeds while playing outside, a photo of Alan Donald Scorcher defending Sachin Tendulkar in a Boxing Day Test in Kingsmead, Durban in 1996 after being battered. Two incisions on all fours through cap and tip still hurt.India was in awe of scoring 100 and 66 in the two rounds in three days. Venkatesh Prasad's brilliant 10-point tour was a footnote."Forget the rhino, save India," shouted a banner in Protea's hand at the booth.However, as Indian fans, we are good at finding the antidote to painful losses. In it, the two sections stand out as countermeasures to Donald's hegemony.Back to Kingsmead. Then, San Esteban Day Test. Second in the series 2010-2011. South Africa, chasing the 303 for victory, we're riding steady at 123-3 as Ashwell Prince and Jacques Kallis build a partnership. Enter S Sreesanth. The hobo and the wizard. He made a delivery that was mounted from the length and saw Kallis turning into a high jump to stop him. The ball came out of his gloves and headed towards Verinder Sehwag. The hosts collapsed and India tied the chain.2018 cut in Johannesburg, the third test between India and South Africa. The number of times members of the two teams traveled in the middle to check on the well-being of the batter was almost greater than in the stands.Michael Holding of the West Indies ranked the launch at number 2 out of 100 and one comment described it as "ridiculous." Holding demanded the referees cancel the match.India did not have any of these. Between Lord's 2014 and Wanderer's 2018, he only won Tests in Asia and the West Indies. They were thirsty for "blood". South Africa's Jaspreet Poumrah hit Dean Elgar (who scored 86 points in the second half) in the helmet. South was amazed. This version did the job of rocking the South African locker room. From 124/2, chasing 241, South Africa was eliminated for 177, with Mohamed Elshamy making a frenzy from 5 to 28 innings. The backbone of Team India, led by Kohli, has grown.In a way, the 2018 Johannesburg Test, which India won by 63 runs, was the benchmark for the way Kohli and Shastri played abroad. In that series, they were in good shape in Cape Town and Centurion to win, but faltered at crucial moments, as they did in England later in 2018.Instead of staying ahead and playing catchy cricket, he might have attacked too much and run dribbling.South Africa has always been a difficult place for Indians to visit. Speed and bounce like Australia. But unlike Australia, they don't attack all the time.They frustrate you with impunity, and after you score enough, they will kill.Many believe that the Indian team that is currently on tour in South Africa has the best chance of winning the Frontier Final. South Africa is a place where India has not won a series. They were close in 2010-11 when they drew 1-1 and were in the winning position in Cape Town in Test 3, but the unimaginable MS captain Dhoni let the hosts escape.No Indian leader has invested in speed and aggression quite as much as Kohli. From the Johannesburg test in 2018, the following individuals lost their names in South Africa: Hashem Amla, AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis, Vernon Philander, and Morne Morkel.India still has the core of the team that competed in 2018 and has an arsenal of bowling not only to offside, but also to frustrate and do well to catch up, despite the poor mid-level performance.When the ball stops swinging, Indian bowlers have the mentality of throwing the stem to the stump with two middle wickets, a square leg, only two slips, a circular field in the offside zone, waiting for the hack, and then forward. throat.Regardless of Omicron, South Africa was hit by racial scandals and an exodus of good cricketers who accepted Kolpak's deals in search of a better life in the UK or New Zealand.Cricketers like Sunil Gavaskar, Zuhair Khan, Dinesh Karthik, But South African captain Elgar fired the first warning shot. "I'd rather be in my locker room than in India knowing they have to face the bowlers." and Harbhajan Singh feels this is India's best chance to win in South Africa.Also Read - Indias series in South Africa to be played without fans, say CSA
ODIs India Squad vs SATeam India will square off against South Africa in a three-match ODI series following the Test matches. Rohit Sharma is likely to be fit for the series and is expected to kick off his full-time ODI captaincy stint in SA. Before the team announcement, here's a look at India's likely 15-member squad for the South Africa ODIsThe South African tour of India got off to a positive start for the visiting team, as they finished the first day with a score of 272/3. Aside from the Kuala Lumpur Rahul century, Ajinkya Rahane's return to form was one of the most significant highlights of the first day of Centurion's trial. Team India has to do a total of 3 Tests and most ODIs in the round.As the testing series continues, members of the ODI team will be arriving in Rainbow Country next week. The three ODI matches in the series will take place on January 19, 21, and 23. As BCCI prepares to announce the series' ODI team, here's a look at the potential 15-player Team India lineup:OpenersRohit Sharma is likely to open the operation in South Africa alongside his longtime colleague, Shekhar Dhawan. Dhawan has now lost his place in the T20I but did well in the ODI format in 2021. He also led India's team in six white-ball matches against Sri Lanka and is set to tour South Africa.Ruturaj Gaikwad is ready to be rewarded for his bravery in the 2021 FIFA World Cup and Vijay Hazari Cup. The right-hander won the Orange Cup in IPL 2021 with 635 points. He scored 603 runs in just 5 matches in the Vijay Hazar Cup. His novel included 4 centuries.Middle-orderFormer captain Virat Kohli has confirmed his readiness for the ODI series at Presser and will be put on top of Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer and is expected to hit both players. The Chosen Ones announced a squad of 15 men. KL Rahul is now reaching middle-ranking in the ODIs and will continue to hold the second position.All-roundersLike Ruturaj, Venkatesh Iyer has also submitted his IPL form in national cricket and is set to make his way to the ODI team. The 27-year-old scored 379 points in 6 matches and took 9 wickets for Madhya Pradesh in the Vijay Hazari Cup. It covers two and a half centuries.If fit, Axar Patel is a strong contender to be included in the team, while Shardul Thakur is now also a regular member of Team India.BowlersJaspreet Bumrah will lead a speed attack that is likely to include Bhoveneshwar Kumar and Muhammad Shami. Harshal Patel and Deepak Shahar can be included in the list of reserve players. Chahar is already on the waiting list for the ongoing series of auditions.R Ashwin, who has not played in an ODI since 2017, is said to be returning. According to Cricbuzz, Ashwin will likely be rewarded in the form of his own T20I. Yosvendra Chahal must retain her place in the team.Team India's likely 15-member team for South Africa ODIs: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav/Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Venkatesh Iyer, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra ChahalALSO READ - Indias series in South Africa to be played without fans, say CSA
In the end, there was no raucous celebration, no wild punches, and no moving screams as the Indian team crushed Fort Centurion on just 12 balls in Thursday's second session. It looks like the world's number one test team is now accustomed to wearing the look of excellence away from home.Instead, it was gratifying to see winning sprinter Jaspreet Bumrah run into Virat Kohli's style and pat him on the back. Kohli responded, as she usually does, with a dismissive smile, her way of showing hard-to-get pride.SCORECARD | AS IT HAPPENEDProgress is measured by milestones, and Thursday's 113-race victory over South Africa in the first round is a huge step forward. India's first test win in this stronghold for the home team (South Africa has now the year began with a Raising Voices Revolution victory, another victory at Gabba in Brisbane, and a three-hole victory at Ft. India has the only other example of winning four events outside of Asia in a calendar year, as in 2018, after victories at Lord's, The Oval and now Centurion. "It's always a difficult place to play and we have to be precise," Kohli said.st, only three of the 27 Tests here, and have never lost to an Asian team before) is a sure sign that Virat Kohli-il's team are poor travelers. Keep traditional beliefsIt's a cycle that started off the shores of South Africa in 2018 and took the team's rapid battery development into a well-tuned lethal machine full circle. India has yearned for such amazing wealth for generations. They are clearly in a hurry now to make adjustments.Bhumrha, Mohamed El Shami (8/107 per match), and Mohamed Siraj are three unique examples of India's fast bowling art. Bumrah, Twisted, Apprentice, Whip, Biomechanics nightmare, can use folding and the ball will move at high speed. He can magically work as he did with India before the wicket lunch for Dean Elgar on the last day of a tough phase of the match, sending van der Dussen off the day before.Elgar (77 of 156 balls; 12 x 4) made a positive start and with South Africa advancing, there were moments of doubt. Was the second entry into India sufficient? Why did the court not act as it did on the fourth day? Enter the Bumrah and the infamous Centurion Rift. Bowling ball low and fast, and Elgar went too far and lost his sight. With this lbw, the South African resistance evaporated.Bhumrha was the first to successfully transfer his skills from short formats to the test arena and pave the way for the likes of Siraj. “We talked about it in the locker room. He didn’t throw Bumrah too much in the first rounds (he twisted his ankle), it allowed the SA to get 40 again. We had a lot of confidence in our bowlers to get the job done,” Kohli said. Indian Cricket Over the past 4-5 years, the bowling unit has played an important role. The way these people play together, our team is in difficult situations,” Kohli said.Then there is Shami, according to Kohli "among the top three bowlers in the world". It's impossible to judge Shami when she's at her climax. “For me, he is one of the top three fast shooters in the world right now,” Kohli said. "His strong wrists, his put-together, his ability to beat lengthwise consistently... He's totally world-class." Shammy, who had already kicked Elgar out of his bowling alley, fixed it by shooting Mulder and Jensen in a late stitching position.India can win easily despite being tired out all day, and that is something they will appreciate. In terms of game and surface nature, KL Rahul's first roles turned out to be the deciding factor, as Dean Elgar acknowledged. Here again, it was the difference between the two fast attacks that came to the fore. India's fast bowling has ensured that South Africa is eliminated under 200 for only the third time in each half since they entered international cricket. Meanwhile, Rabada, Ngidi, and Mulder were inconsistent that first morning and were guilty of not getting the hitters to play enough on a quiet surface.Also, Read - Sports Calendar 2022 | World Sporting Event Calendar
India Test captain Virat Kohli missed the second Test match of the three-match series against South Africa at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on January 3, 2022. Instead, Kuala Lumpur Rahul led the Indian team, who was appointed as their deputy. In the absence of Captain Rohit Sharma, who is absent from the series due to injury.Virat Kohli led the Indian team to a famous test win in the opening match at Supersport Park in Centurion, which India won by 113 runs to lead the series 1-0. Kohli's centuries streak and low scores continued in Test 1 as well, scoring just 35 and 18 points in the two rounds at Centurion.Commentators were curious how and why Virat Kohli wasn't ready for the launch and instead KL Rahul went on to launch with South African captain Dean Elgar in the middle. KL Rahul won the lottery and decided to hit first and the first question was asked about Virat Kohli and why he wasn't this brilliant captain and legendary hitter in match XI."Unfortunately, Virat has experienced a lower back contracture and is expected to recover for the next test," KL Rahul was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying.The dream of every Indian player is to be the captain of his country. We are really honored and looking forward to this challenge. We've had some good victories here and hopefully, we can continue like this. Hanuma Vihari has replaced Virat. Only one change. All in all, it was a good test on Centurion. We did well as a team and we are very excited about this match.”Virat Kohli was due to play his 100th test match in Cape Town for the third match of the series and now, with Johannesburg out of the test match, his 100th test match will likely be played in front of a home crowd when hosts India Sri Lanka. Lanka for a series of tests in February and March.Meanwhile, Dean Elgar also revealed two changes to the South African squad, with Kyle Verne replacing Quinton de Kock, who retired from Tests after the Centurion match, and Duane Olivier to replace Vian Mulder in South Africa.Also Read - IND VS SA, 2nd Test: New year, new hope for struggling Virat Kohli
On Tuesday, the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry postponed the Ranji Cup for this season in light of the increase in Covid cases. After the cancellation of last season's championship, the postponement would cast doubt on the prospects for the Major National Division One competition even for the 2021-22 season. The Ranji Cup was scheduled to start on January 13. But the Cricket Board has prioritized the health of players, enlisting the support of India's Chardol Thakur and government federation officials to make the decision.After the seven-wicket run at Wanderers, when Chardol attended the press conference later that day, he was asked about the postponement of the Ranji Cup and how it would affect the national cricketers. “I’m sorry for them. But you also have to look at the COVID scenario in the country. With the increase in cases and we have many local teams playing, it is easier to manage all the teams and keep track of each team. So “I think whatever the board of directors will take at this point should To be the right decision. "That's why they made the decision," Chardol, a national cricket fan, told reporters.Besides the Ranji Cup, the Colonel CK Nayudu Cup and the T20 Women's Senior League have also been suspended, as BCCI stated in its press release: “The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Tuesday. The postponement of the Ranji Cup, Colonel CK Nayudu Cup, and League Women's T20 for the 2021-22 season in light of the increase in COVID-19 cases in the country."The Ranji Cup and Kol CK Nayudu Cup were scheduled to start this month, while the Senior Women's T20 League was scheduled to start in February."The statement addressed health concerns and stated in the statement: “The Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry does not wish to compromise the safety of players, support staff, match officials and other participants, and has therefore decided to suspend all three tournaments until further notice. The Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry will continue to assess the situation and accordingly, will be Decided on the start of the tournament.Virus on the looseThe decision comes in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak in the Bengal Rangi team, with several players testing positive. A few days ago, the head of the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sourav Ganguly, was hospitalized as a precaution after he tested positive for the virus. Ganguly is currently in home isolation. On Tuesday, Bengal Cricket Association president Avishek Dalmiya was hospitalized as a "precautionary measure" after contracting Covid-19. It is said to be stable. Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) President Jaydev Shah has stated that one of the players from the Ranji team has tested positive for him "after returning from the IPL test".The massive increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in India and globally has coincided with the spread of the Omicron version of the virus. Shah supported the BCCI's decision to postpone.I think the decision taken by (Secretary of Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry) Jay Bhai (Shah) and President Sourav Ganguly is a very good one. Health is the most important part of life and cricket and money come next. He told the Indian Express that many more cases of Covid are coming and this is the time to do so.“BCCI has already held many tournaments and I think when the COVID situation improves, the Ranji Cup will be the number one priority. Even in the event of a pandemic, a lot of cricket has been played this season; IPL, U19, T20, and ODI tournaments, women’s cricket.. (But) the Ranji Cup is a great tournament. You can't finish it in 10-15 days.BCCI changed the format of the Rangi Cup for this season, with elite teams divided into five groups as well as matches in a single board group. Last season, the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced the compensation of players as the national championships were canceled due to the forced cancellation by Covid. The board also decided to increase match fees for players of all age groups in men's and women's cricket.“This year, (if the Ranji Cup is finally canceled), the compensation situation will change. But money is not an important criterion at the moment, health is important,” said the SCA chairman.Also, Read - IND VS SA, 2nd Test: New year, new hope for struggling Virat Kohli
Boils down to mental approach towards the decider if Kohli’s men are to succeed in uncharted territoryThe trick is in the mind. The decisive match here in Newlands will be one of the biggest matches for India in its test history.A victory here and they will achieve what no other Indian team has achieved. Win a series of tests in South Africa.Can India occupy the last frontier?The 1-1 streak will put a lot of pressure on the Indian team. This is an opportunity to tick a really big box.But then the Indians will have to do a good job of removing the Final Frontier element from their minds and handling the crucial element like any other Test match, starting on January 11th.So that they can play more freely in this sunny city and sea.However, India's obsession with long and fast bowlers, citing them as a reason why fast bowlers buy less pitch in the Wanderers' second trial, is little more than a clever disguise.If height was really a factor, how did Chardol Thakur, India's youngest fast shooter, with Mohamed Shami score seven first-half runs and work his way through the South African squad?And no Protea player, regardless of height, took seven stakes in the Test or cast a more devastating spell.Forget the height. These are the areas where you go bowling. If India's bowlers, regardless of their height, had consistently hit cracks, as Chardol did in the first innings in South Africa, India would have won.And when testing resumed on the fourth day, the ground was very dry. In any case, the ball was cleaned and dried with a towel before each shot.How do Indian fast-hitting shooters from South Africa hit the body so many times if the ball is really slippery? Can you do that with a slippery ball?Logic and common sense go out the window when looking for excuses from a win-win situation.Siraj's placeAnyway, the past is the past, and looking to the future, given the crucial event in Newlands, India needs to choose a replacement for Muhammad Siraj.A hamstring injury, especially for a fast bowler, can make a comeback, and India certainly shouldn't risk Sarraj in the crucial match.So it is all about choosing between Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav.Ishant is slowing down, not dropping, and not at its best lately.However, when he finds his groove, he can still throw a nice bouncy streak.And following current Indian thinking, who yearns for higher runners, Ishant might get the nod.He said Umesh made a little mistake in the chances he had. He's a faster, more versatile player, has a nice slingshot, can return the ball, and he's definitely faster than Ishant.In fact, when he had a rare opportunity against England in the Oval League last year, Umesh, who played with fire and fired three strikes per turn, was instrumental in India's victory.He made his first test for India with Joe Root and David Malan.But after that, Umesh will likely be ruled out again.Also, read - Dravid Gives Update On Virat Kohli's Availability For Cape Town Test

Becoming the Best cricketer in the world in 2020 is a more difficult challenge than in the history of the game. Proving mastery of a title like this isn't enough, nor can core ball specialists claim enough.To be considered the best cricketer in the world, success in all three formats is a must.The cricket factor is important for betting on T20, 50 over and Tests and this was the main factor when creating this list.Top 10 Best Cricketers in the World:1-Kapil Dev - Best Cricketer in the WorldKapil Dev has played over 130 Tests for India and was considered the best cricketer in the world during his long career.Dev has a good record roster, including being the only player to score 4,000 test runs and take 400 test wickets.Along with Ian Botham, Ben Stokes, Richard Hadley, and Jack Callis, Dave is in solid talks as the second-best player in an overall test (after the Garfield Supers).A brilliant captain, talented batsman, and competent pitcher, Dev beat Gavaskar and Tendulkar for first place.2 - Sunil Gavaskar - Best Cricketer in the WorldNot only was Sunil Gavaskar a prolific running player and arguably the greatest player of all time, but he also set standards for Indian cricketers, taking the team to new levels of professionalism and introducing a work ethic never seen before.Gavaskar drove from the front in more ways than one. He was a handsome shooter when needed and his extensive defensive technique, combined with his steely mindset, made him a very difficult person to write off.3 - Sachin Tendulkar - Best Cricketer in the WorldSachin Tendulkar's net worth is believed to be over $100 million, making him the richest player in India. The teacher is seen in all audiences, loved more than anyone else in the country.Tendulkar was a technical perfection. Viv Richards hits the pillow and Ricky Ponting carefully draws his straight line.He has made many astonishing records in both Test and ODI. Tendulkar may have to be content with the third place in this list, but there is no doubt that he is number one in the eyes of the Indian public.4 - Virat Kohli - Best Cricketer in the WorldPlaying in the IPL era, the era of celebrity makes Virat Kohli's net worth an unimaginable figure for cricketers over the past few decades.Kohli is still at his peak but has already established himself as one of the best cricketers India has ever produced. Some say the quarter is generous, though Kohli's influence as a hitter and captain is enormous. India is by far the most powerful country.Historically prolific in all three forms, Kohli could end his career as the greatest hitter of the 21st century.5 - Anil Kumble - Best Cricketer in the WorldIt is only 619 proof wickets for Anil Kumble. Patience, determination, and clever variations propelled Kumble to pursue a career beyond his natural talent.The player who broke his leg was not just a football player, but changed his pace quite well, making most of his throws faster than regular bowling. The lateral movement was never great, but it did enough to engage the hitters.There are more talented Indian spinners than Kumble, but no one can match his demand. He has created magic on more than one occasion in front of the biggest cricket grounds in the world...6 - Raul Dravid - Best Cricketer in the WorldWhile Sehwag was explosive, Rahul Dravid was a traditional cricketer's dream come true. With high elbows, a straight face, and good leg speed, The Wall is the fourth-highest Test scorer of all time.Though considered a Test specialist, Dravid has developed his game throughout his career to become an effective ball hitter. He was the fifth Indian cricketer to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.7 - Varinder Sehwag - Best Cricketer in the WorldVirender Sehwag was not the editor of the textbook. His technique didn't come from a training manual, but he was as entertaining as any Test player and was arguably the most destructive player in the game.Sehwag made a triple horn in running with the ball and played two horns at the same pace. The bowling attack was wiped out an hour after Sehwag crashed: hitting him consistently to the limit was exciting and effective.8 - MS Dhoni - Best Cricketer in the WorldA World Cup winner and one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the game, MS Dhoni is the epitome of the modern game, a true 3D phenomenon.Dhoni is known for his white-ball sensation, and rightly so, with an ODI average of over 50 and countless heroic chases, but he was also an elite Test player. He was selected thrice in the ICC Test XI and has a career average of 38.Wicketkeeping skills should also not be overlooked. Donnie could whip Bell faster than he could have imagined. The guy who brought us the picture of the helicopter was locked in the top ten.|9 - Javagal Srinath - Best Cricketer in the WorldJavagal Srinath is one of the lowest-rated Indian cricketers. When spin was the name of the game in the 90s, Srinath, an aggressive fast-paced high-voltage shooter, used to charge on the wrong courts.If needed, Srinath could have released it in the mid-90s. Like many intercontinental pace bowlers, he can spin up, making him an effective player at any time.At the time of his retirement in 2002, only one fast Indian player (Kapil Dev) had more than 236 wickets in Srinath.10 - Bishan Bedi - Best Cricketer in the WorldOutspoken and often controversial, Bishan Bedi has had a tough time with Indian cricket. Gaining a foothold as a test country during the 1960s and 1970s, it is far from being a global power today.Pedi was the star of the time. He completed his Test run at the age of 29 with 266 wickets, his effective control of left-arm rotation leaving batsmen stuck at one end.Bedi is second in every ancient tour test, and though it is not just a spinning ball, its graceful versatility of flight throws batsmen out of balance.More Read - Who is the IPL God of 2020?
The T20 version of cricket is considered a batsman format. However, over the years bowlers have had an impact on the shape through their differences. The arrival of the T20 led to mysterious joints and spinners. IPL brings in many new talents every year who impress them with their bowling skills. The yorker is the most dangerous weapon for you among the fast shooters. In this feature, we take a look at the Yorker kings in the IPL.6 yorker kings of the IPL1. Lasith Malinga | Yorker KingMumbai Indians and fans, in general, will miss the IPL's original Yorker king, Lasith Malinga. The sling launcher also had a variety in the yorker. It can be just as effective for a slow ball as it was to throw the ball into a blocked hole. Malinga won many matches for Mumbai Indians with the Indomitable Yorker. No matter how difficult the situation was, Mumbai knew she could see Malinga. And more often than not, the legend of Lanka hit the mark.Lasith Malinga’s IPL numbers: Matches – 122, Wickets – 170, SR – 16.62, Economy – 7.142. T Natarajan | Yorker King In IndiaT Natarajan was so good at IPL 2020 that he became the king of the IPL in New York, replacing Malinga who missed the season. Every time SRH seemed to be in trouble, Captain David Warner turned to NATO. And the soft-spoken left-handed seamstress delivered it almost every time. His ability to spot cricketers stunned him. In a match against the Delhi Capitals, he managed to defeat six Yorkers in a row. But, it was his unbeaten performance to bid farewell to AB de Villiers in the Eliminator against RCB that stood out. Since then, surprisingly, Natarajan has made a name for himself with an Indian team.T Natarajan’s IPL numbers: Matches – 22, Wickets – 18, SR- 25.16, Economy – 8.193. Jasprit Bumrah | Yorker King In IndiaPlaying under Malinga Jaspreet Bumrah definitely helped him improve his game as a bowler. India has benefited greatly from its results. Like Malinga, Bumrah also has a unique business, but of an entirely different kind: quirky, if you will. But he undoubtedly played a part in making his youth right. Aside from Malinga, Bumrah has been the most consistent when it comes to mastering block hole wiring. He's come down to countless yorkers, but his cries for Shikhar Dhawan last season are still fresh in mind.Jasprit Bumrah’s IPL numbers: Matches – 92, Wickets – 109, SR- 19.19, Economy – 7.414. Kagiso Rabada | Yorker KingThe South African pacemaker has been in perfect condition for the past two seasons at Delhi Capitals. It is one of the main reasons why the franchise was able to improve its fortunes. The Kagiso Rabada is quick and accurate. With experience, you will only get smarter. And when Rabada decides to extradite Yorker King, he is rarely wrong. Ask Andre Russell, best known for his pacer at IPL 2019, about the Super Over, too. Also last season, he put most of his labors on the spot.Kagiso Rabada’s IPL numbers: Matches – 35, Wickets – 61, SR- 13.18, Economy – 13.185. Jofra Archer | Yorker KingUnlike other fast bowlers, Jofra Archer likes to use the yorker as a surprise weapon. He likes to hold the ball away as he shoots the hitter's throat. He also has a highly efficient slowball. But, when he decides to play against a Yorker, the goalkeeper surprises hitting more than once. His height and speed make it extremely difficult for a batsman to face him. In the 2018 edition, Shakib Al-Hassan threw the New Yorker straight. Even a hitter with Shakib's skill couldn't do anything to clear the ball. He was the best bowler for the Rajasthan Royals last year and if he is not available for the IPL 2021 it will be a huge blow to the franchise.Jofra Archer’s IPL numbers: Matches – 35, Wickets – 46, SR – 17.93, Economy – 7.136. Anrich Nortje | Yorker KingHe may have only played one season, but Enrique Nortje made such an impressive debut at IPL 2020 that his name is worth mentioning. Nortje released the fastest delivery in IPL history last season. His fast pace meant that when he went to the yorker, the batsmen were quick to play the shot. However, what worked in his favor was its accuracy. With his speed, his throw into the hole became doubly fatal. Last season, Nortje starred as Rahul Tripathi along with the awesome superhero.Anrich Nortje’s IPL numbers: Matches – 16, Wickets – 22, SR – 16.63, Economy – 8.39Also, Read - Who is king of cricket in world? | PITCHHIGH

India dropped four regular members for the first two matches against AustraliaIndia now looks ahead to their last and final practice for the ODI World Cup at home as they take on five-time champions Australia in a three-match series beginning September 22 after their perfectly timed Asia Cup title haul in Colombo on Sunday, where they defeated Sri Lanka by 10 wickets. The selection committee made up to four changes, when most people would have anticipated India to remain the same save for that one injury issue involving Axar Patel.Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector for the BCCI, read out the roster for the three-match home series against Pat Cummins' team virtually the day after India's Asia Cup victory. India selected a 15-member team for the opening two games and a 17-member team for the championship match.India lost four regular players for the first two games in Baroda on September 27, while the selectors only recruited two additional players to their 15-member World Cup team for the final match. The squad was without Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma for the first two games.Responding to a question from the press, Agarkar revealed: "Few of the players have been given a breather. Rohit has taken a break.""Luckily we got a fair amount of cricket at the Asia Cup," Agarkar added. "If not, we would've looked at it some other way. More than physical, sometimes guys need a mental break, which isn't a bad thing leading into a tournament like the World Cup."For the third game, everyone will be available. We will play our World Cup squad. This [squad for the first two ODIs] gives us a chance to give guys sitting outside a chance. It's still a strong squad. Like I said, if we hadn't got a lot of cricket at the Asia Cup, who knows, we may have thought differently."Rohit and Kohli had both been rested for the West Indies ODI series and had only returned to the set-up in the Asia Cup. In a bid to test India's bench strength, both had relinquished their original batting spot in the first ODI match against West Indies before being rested for the second and third game. They had later missed the T20I contest and the tour of Ireland as well.In fact, Hardik led India in place of Rohit in the last two ODIs. Hardik has participated in every ODI match against the West Indies. While both were resting for the Ireland tour, Kuldeep also participated in the competition.In the first two games against Australia, KL Rahul will serve as the captain and Ravindra Jadeja as his backup. Tilak Varma and Ruturaj Gaikwad have been chosen for the first two games, and they will both be heading the Indian team at the Asian Games later this month.Also Read: Top 10 fantasy cricket websites in india

On Sunday, India will take on either Kazakhstan or Japan.They play quickly and have experience. The first two sets were won by them, but our team responded effectively and quickly gained control, said India captain Vinit to media after the match."We expected a four-setter, but our team played well with man-to-man marking and improved a lot," he continued. Early on, India was down 6-10, but Erin Varghese helped the team close the difference to 11-13.India had been trailing for the whole of the match until it finally tied the score at 21-21. Varghese and Ashwal Rai then won the next two points to give India the lead. In the second set, India took an early 3-0 lead, but Chinese Taipei eventually tied the match at 17-17.

Japan are a good side and we expect a tough contest," he added.
Indian women's cricket team made history in the Asian Games 2023, clinching the gold medal in their first-ever participation at the quadrennial event.The Indian women's cricket team made history in the Asian Games 2023 on Monday as Harmapreet Kaur & Co. defeated Sri Lanka by 19 runs in the final. In what was the Indian cricket team's first-ever participation in the Asian Games' cricketing events, the women's team claimed the top podium spot after producing a fine all-round effort. Though cricket has been a part of the Asian Games in 2010 and 2014, neither the men's nor the women's Indian team had participated in the event.Batting first, Harmanpreet's girls put 116 runs on the board for the loss of 7 wickets. With the ball, India put a stunning display on the 22-yard strip, restricting Sri Lanka to just 87/8. Titas Sadhu was the pick of the bowlers for India, bagging 3 wickets for just 6 runs in 4 overs.As for the match, the Indian team elected to bat first after winning the toss, that marked the return of Harmanpreet Kaur after 2-match suspension. After the early dismissal of Shafali Verma, opener Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues rebuilt the innings.Inoka Ranaweera gave SL the much-needed breakthrough, getting rid of Smriti for 46 off 45 balls with four boundaries and a six. India was 89/2 in 14.5 overs and the 73-run stand between Mandhana-Rodrigues was over.That wicket caused a collapse in the Indian innings as except for Rodrigues, who scored 42 in 40 balls with five fours, no other batter could stand tall against the Lankan side. India ended their innings at 116/7 in 20 overs.Kumari (2/30), Ranaweera (2/21) and Udeshika Prabodhani (2/16) were among the wickets for Sri Lanka.In the chase of 117 runs, Sri Lanka was troubled by medium-pacer Titas Sandhu, who dismissed the top order consisting of skipper Chamari Athapaththu (12), Anushka Sanjeewani (1) and Vishmi Gunaratne (0), reducing SL to 14/3 in 4.2 overs.Hasini Perera and Nilakshi de Silva had started to rebuild the Lankan innings, helping them cross the 50-run mark in 9.3 overs. But Rajeshwari Gayakwad turned the tide in India's favour by removing Hasini for 25 off 22 balls, with four boundaries and a six. SL was 50/4 in 9.5 overs.From then on, the road to gold got tougher for SL, as spinners Deepti Sharma and Devika Vaidya restricted the run flow. But Nilakshi and Oshadi Ranasinghe fought back with some boundaries, leaving SL with 43 to get in the final five overs.But Pooja Vastrakar, India's star in the semifinal with the ball, removed Nilakshi for 23 off 34 balls, ending a fighting 28-run partnership. SL was 78/5 in 16.1 overs.Deepti also removed Ranasinghe, who played a fighting knock of 19 in 26 balls. SL was 86/6 in 17.4 overs.
Huge sixes in cricket have always thrilled fans and remained a topic of conversation for years to come. While some former cricketers and pundits argue that these colossal hits should receive extra recognition, the precision and reliability of technology, which is regularly scrutinized when measuring such distances, have not supported these claims. Nevertheless, it's always a delight to recall some of the most unforgettable moments in the game. So, let's revisit the longest sixes ever hit in the history of international cricket.1. Shahid Afridi || 153 meters vs. South AfricaMost people consider Afridi to be one of the most dangerous players in cricket. Afridi was an all-round player with a reputation for hard hitting and leg-spin bowling. With 37 deliveries, Afridi also held the world record for the fastest ODI century. The record, held for 17 years, was broken by Corey Anderson. It should come as no surprise that Shahid Afridi is the owner of the record for the longest six hits in international cricket as his name is frequently at the top of lists such to this one. This six that he hammered off Ryan McLaren is one of the most talked-about sixes in cricket history, given the distance it covered.2. Brett Lee || 130 meters vs. EnglandBrett Lee was a key member of the Australian squad that clinched the 2003 World Cup. His Test debut took place in 1999, and he bid farewell to international cricket on July 12, 2012. Lee's Test career came to a close with an impressive tally of 310 wickets, and he secured 380 wickets in One Day Internationals. From 2000 to 2009, only Muttiah Muralitharan outshone Lee in terms of ODI wickets, establishing him as one of the premier bowlers of his era. Among the numerous entries in the list of longest sixes, one that stands out is Brett Lee's monumental hit against West Indies, a shot that originated from an improbable source. In that particular game at the Gabba, Brett Lee contributed 47 runs for the home team, but it's his single six in that innings that remains etched in memory.One remarkable instance was the 2005 Ashes Test at Edgbaston, where Lee nearly steered Australia to a remarkable comeback in a gripping and thrilling match. Despite his aggressive demeanor on the field, Lee rarely allowed his emotions to overcome him. He relished competing against opponents and displayed sportsmanship, even in defeat, often sporting his signature smile. Lee was not only a formidable opponent but also a gentleman off the field, fostering good relationships with players from rival teams. He was one of the few Australian cricketers who was widely admired in India.3. Martin Guptill || 127 meters vs South AfricaGuptill is the first New Zealand cricketer and the sixth overall to make a double century in a One Day International match. His 237 not-out holds the highest individual score in Cricket World Cup matches and the second-best score in One Day Internationals. Guptill's left foot has only two toes. He lost three toes in a forklift accident when 13 years old. He is known as "Two Toes" within the New Zealand cricket team. Martin Guptill of New Zealand is an unsurprising name on this list, having dazzled cricket fans with his incredible power-hitting on numerous occasions. In a T20I match against South Africa in 2012, he smashed possibly the greatest six of his career against Lonwabo Tsotsobe.Martin Guptill's ODI average is 43.51, while his World Cup average is 57. The main disadvantage is that the opener has scored these runs against teams with a weak bowling attack. He's had to contend with teams like Australia, South Africa, and England. Guptill will face all of the teams in the World Cup at least once, so he must ensure that he gets runs against the weaker opponents and the heavyweights.4. Liam Livingstone || 122 meters vs. PakistanOn April 19, 2015, Livingstone grabbed the spotlight with an extraordinary cricket feat. He notched up a stunning 350 runs from just 138 balls while playing for his club team, Nantwich. This incredible performance was hailed as one of the highest individual scores in the history of one-day cricket.In the 2016 season, Livingstone marked his debut in first-class cricket while representing Lancashire. He further solidified his cricketing journey when he was awarded his county cap on April 24, 2017. This honor came after he led Lancashire to their first victory of the 2017 season, while serving as a stand-in captain.Liam Livingstone has established himself as one of England's most esteemed cricketers in shorter-format matches. He is known for his exceptional skills and performances. Notably, in a T20I game against Pakistan at Headingley last year, Livingstone smashed a colossal six that soared to an astounding distance of 122 meters, even leaving the stadium boundaries.5. Corey Anderson || 122 meters vs. IndiaGuptill is the first New Zealand cricketer and the sixth overall to make a double century in a One Day International match. His 237 not-out holds the highest individual score in Cricket World Cup matches and the second-best score in One Day Internationals. Guptill's left foot has only two toes. He lost three toes in a forklift accident when 13 years old. He is known as "Two Toes" within the New Zealand cricket team. Martin Guptill of New Zealand is an unsurprising name on this list, having dazzled cricket fans with his incredible power-hitting on numerous occasions. In a T20I match against South Africa in 2012, he smashed possibly the greatest six of his career against Lonwabo Tsotsobe.Martin Guptill's ODI average is 43.51, while his World Cup average is 57. The main disadvantage is that the opener has scored these runs against teams with a weak bowling attack. He's had to contend with teams like Australia, South Africa, and England. Guptill will face all of the teams in the World Cup at least once, so he must ensure that he gets runs against the weaker opponents and the heavyweights.6. Mark Waugh || 120 meters vs. New ZealandMark Waugh, often referred to as Junior due to being slightly younger than his twin brother Steve, comes from a cricketing family. His brother Dean Waugh also has a cricketing background, having represented New South Wales in both first-class and List A cricket. While Mark has often been in the shadow of his more renowned brother Steve, he remains one of the lesser-acknowledged cricketers in the exceptional Australian cricket team.Mark Waugh, however, has had his fair share of memorable moments on the cricket field. One such instance occurred during New Zealand's 1997 tour of Australia when he faced Daniel Vettori. Waugh showcased his remarkable strokeplay by striding down the track and smashing the ball an astonishing 120 meters down the ground at the WACA. His batting style has drawn comparisons to legendary cricketers such as Stan McCabe, Alan Kippax, Victor Trumper, Charlie Macartney, and Greg Chappell. His elegant and stylish approach to the game aligns him with these iconic names in cricket history.7. Yuvraj Singh || 119 meters vs. AustraliaYuvraj Singh's illustrious cricket career was marked by several accolades, including the prestigious Arjuna Award, India's second-highest sporting honor, which he received from the Indian government in 2012. Yuvraj's exceptional all-round abilities were on full display during the 2011 World Cup, where he etched his name in history by becoming the first player to achieve a remarkable feat - taking a 5-wicket haul and scoring 50 runs in the same World Cup match. His overall performance in the tournament was outstanding, with 15 wickets and 362 runs to his name, earning him the well-deserved title of the "Man of the Tournament." Yuvraj Singh's elegant and masterful strokeplay has earned him a place among cricket's greatest batsmen.Yuvraj's incredible six-hitting prowess was exemplified during the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007. In a match against Australia, he showcased his legendary hitting with an astonishing shot, breaking the official record for the longest six ever struck by an Indian batsman. Facing a delivery from Brett Lee that clocked over 90 mph, the left-handed Yuvraj flicked it effortlessly over square leg, sending the ball soaring a remarkable 119 meters.In the subsequent years, Yuvraj Singh dedicated himself to improving his fitness and made a successful return to the cricketing arena in early 2017 after missing the 2015 World Cup and 2016 World T20. Recognizing his experience and skills, Virat Kohli, the Indian captain, saw Yuvraj as a valuable addition, particularly with the 2017 Champions Trophy approaching. Following his comeback, Yuvraj delivered several outstanding innings, including a scintillating performance against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy opener. However, after the Champions Trophy, Yuvraj, along with a few other senior players, was dropped from India's squad. His fielding, which had once been exceptional, notably declined during this phase, highlighting the challenges of maintaining top form over an extended career.8. Mahendra Singh Dhoni || 118 meters vs. New ZealandMahendra Singh Dhoni, fondly known as MS Dhoni, bid farewell to international cricket in all formats on August 15, 2020. His illustrious career was marked by remarkable leadership, guiding the Indian cricket team to several significant victories. Dhoni served as captain during India's triumphs in the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Under his leadership, India also clinched the Asia Cup in 2010 and 2016.In the world of One Day International (ODI) cricket, MS Dhoni is renowned for his exceptional finishing abilities. He holds the record for the second-highest number of sixes by an Indian batsman. In a memorable moment during the third ODI of India's 2009 tour of New Zealand, Dhoni, the Indian captain, unleashed a colossal six that traveled an astounding 118 meters.Dhoni's association with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a remarkable tale. When the IPL gained prominence, cricket enthusiasts were eager to see which team would secure the services of the then-Indian skipper. The Chennai Super Kings, backed by an organization well-versed in managing sports, recognized the importance of strong leadership for building a successful franchise. They made a significant statement by signing Dhoni for a whopping 6 crores, making it the highest fee at the time. Dhoni's impact was profound, as he emerged as the third-highest run-scorer in the 2013 season, single-handedly leading CSK to the IPL final. Under his captaincy, CSK secured IPL titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021, cementing his legacy as one of the most successful and revered leaders in IPL history.9. Chris Gayle || 116 meters vs. IndiaChris Gayle is widely regarded as one of the greatest Twenty20 cricket batsmen in the history of the sport, and many even consider him the best. His contributions have been pivotal to the success of West Indies teams, which secured victories in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2004, the ICC World Twenty20 in 2012, and the ICC World Twenty20 in 2016. Chris Gayle's impact transcends all three formats of the game, and he has set numerous records. His reputation as one of the most formidable and powerful batsmen in cricket history is well-deserved. As a former captain of the West Indies, he holds the world record for the most sixes hit in international cricket and is known for launching some of the longest sixes seen in the game. One such monumental six was his 116-meter strike off Yusuf Pathan during a group stage match in the ICC T20 World Cup against India.His prowess in Twenty20 cricket led to high expectations during the 2008 auction, especially after his remarkable century in the inaugural ICC World T20 in 2007. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) acquired his services with a substantial bid of 800,000 USD. Gayle's next three years were nothing short of spectacular, marked by a century on debut, ending the 2011 season with 608 runs and the Orange Cap, amassing 733 runs and another Orange Cap in 2012, and achieving the record for the highest individual T20 score of 175 not out against the Pune Warriors in 2013, a feat that included a remarkable 31-ball century.10. Ijaz Ahmed || 115 meters vs. IndiaHe smacked Virender Sehwag for a 115m six and crossed one of India's largest stadiums. The visitors were dominant throughout the game, creating havoc on the Indian bowlers and claiming a memorable victory important to Pakistan's Pepsi Cup hopes.
World Cup 2023: India have not beaten New Zealand in a knockout game in any ICC event. Rohit Sharma's men face a stiff test against the BlackCaps when the two sides meet in the first semi-finals on Wednesday in Mumbai.In ShortIndia have lost 9 matches out of 14 games to New Zealand in ICC white-ball eventsIndia have not beaten New Zealand in an ICC knockout match so farIndia will head into the semi-finals of the World Cup as firm favouritesIndia appears unbeatable in the home World Cup. Despite facing criticism leading up to the marquee event, the team has responded like champions, securing victories in all nine matches during the league stage. There's a strong possibility that India could emulate Australia's success in 2003 and 2007 by finishing the World Cup campaign undefeated.Everything seems to be clicking at the right time for India. Rohit Sharma has led from the front in a sensational campaign as captain, and more importantly, as a ruthless opening batter. Virat Kohli has piled up the runs, scoring 594 in 9 matches. The middle-order, unlike 2019, is looking strong with Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul among the runs. The absence of Hardik Pandya has not induced panic; instead, it has brought more clarity to the team regarding player roles. They have opted for a strategy of playing with five frontline bowlers, incorporating all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. India's bowling unit has performed exceptionally well, with Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj causing havoc for the opposition teams. The spin duo of Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav has further showcased their mastery in the art of spin bowling.However, India have to start afresh on Wednesday when they face New Zealand in the semi-finals at the Wankhede Stadium. Yes, Rohit Sharma's men have the advantage of playing in front of a packed crowd, but history doesn't favor the Men In Blue.India and New Zealand have played each other 13 times in ICC events in white-ball cricket, but they have managed just 4 victories. Yes, India defeated New Zealand in Dharamsala a couple of weeks ago but it was the BlackCaps that gave India their toughest test in their dominant run in the league stage.Not many would have forgotten the 2019 World Cup semi-finals. India headed into the semi-finals in Manchester after having topped the league stage. And New Zealand, much like 2023, sneaked through to the semi-finals at the 4th spot. However, Kane Williamson and his men battled past a Virat Kohli-led side into the final.New Zealand did not do anything extraordinary. Like always, they did the basics right. Reading the pitch wonderfully well, New Zealand posted 239 on the board after winning the toss and opted to bat. Despite the game slipping into the Reserve Day due to rain, New Zealand kept their nerves under check and perfectly executed their bowling plans against India.India's top-order was blown away as Matt Henry and Trent Boult ran riot in overcast conditions. India slipped to 5 for 3 after losing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul for 1 each.

Suryakumar Yadav will be leading the Indian cricket team in the upcoming T20I series against South Africa.Suryakumar Yadav will be leading the Indian cricket team in the upcoming T20I series against South Africa with Rohit Sharma opting out and Hardik Pandya missing from action due to injury. Suryakumar was also the captain of the side that won the recently-concluded T20I series against Australia. As a result, there have been discussions regarding the explosive batter being one of the captaincy options for India for the T20 World Cup 2024. However, former India opener Aakash Chopra did not agree with the conversation and said that he believes that Suryakumar does not feature in the list of possible captains."I am just looking ahead. Suryakumar Yadav is currently the Indian team's captain in T20Is, but is he in your list of captains? He is probably the third captaincy choice even for the Mumbai Indians currently. Things have changed. He was the second choice until last year," he said on Jio Cinema.Chopra further pointed out that with the arrival of Hardik at Mumbai Indians, Suryakumar is now the third-choice for captaincy behind the all-rounder and Rohit."He might have become the third choice of his franchise. He will be the Indian captain in South Africa for sure, will captain whenever Rohit doesn't play and might be the captain against Afghanistan, but World Cup 2024, I don't see Surya as a captain," he added.The ex-India cricketer did praise Suryakumar for his captaincy in the series against Australia and specifically mentioned the way that he managed his bowlers in the absence of a genuine sixth bowling option.The ex-India cricketer did praise Suryakumar for his captaincy in the series against Australia and specifically mentioned the way that he managed his bowlers in the absence of a genuine sixth bowling option.

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Mitchell Starc's record $2.98 million deal at the Indian Premier League auctions was the ideal Christmas present for the match-winning paceman as he prepares to spend the holidays apart from his cricketing wife Alyssa Healy.Australia's all-formats hero became the most expensive player in the history of the league after attracting the eye-watering bid from Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday.Starc tuned in to the auction at home in Sydney while resting ahead of the second test against Pakistan in Melbourne.Healy, the newly installed captain of the Australian women's team, watched from India ahead of the one-off test in Mumbai."I'm not sure any words will do it justice, really," Starc said of the auction result."Obviously, Alyssa's over there with the Australian team at the minute so I think her coverage was slightly ahead of mine here in Australia so she sort of saw the numbers before I did."A fair bit of shock and certainly excitement with how it was all unfolding, but nothing I could have ever imagined."It's a Christmas full of cricket as usual but it's certainly one with a nice little cherry on the cake."There was joy on both sides of the Tasman Sea, with New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell overwhelmed by his bumper 140 million rupees ($1.68 million) deal to join Chennai.The bid was a massive hike on the base price of 7.5 million rupees Mitchell took to join Rajasthan Royals for two appearances in the 2022 IPL."Your heart starts to pump a little bit, as you see the paddles going up," the 32-year-old told New Zealand media."But having been through the auction before and going unsold, it was a pretty special night last night to experience that."Mitchell, who played a big part in New Zealand's run to the recent World Cup semi-finals in India, also celebrated his daughter's birthday on Wednesday, the day after the auction."She's got a pretty good present, waking up to that – not that she understands what's going on," he said."But that's the whole thing about these sorts of situations – it helps set up your family in many ways so that they can grow up and enjoy the things they love."Also Read: On Suryakumar Yadav Captaining In T20Is, Ex-India Star's Brutal 'Third Choice' Verdict
Mumbai Indians (MI) made a shocking decision ahead of the upcoming season, naming Hardik Pandya as the captain of the franchise. The franchise roped in Hardik from Gujarat Titans as part of an all cash trade deal ahead of the auction. Just a few days before the auction, the five-time champions announced that Hardik will replace the long-serving Rohit Sharma as the captain of the franchise. The decision came as a shock to many, but not former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar, who felt that this is the right time for a change.Now, Manjrekar has questioned Rohit's role as a batter in the shortest format of the game."Rohit Sharma, for me, as a batter, is a question mark in T20 cricket. has shown promise, the way he played in the fifty-over World Cups. But that's a completely different format, when you know you have fifty overs. They bat in that fashion. Bowlers just bowl differently in 50 overs as well," Manjrekar said on-air during the second ODI between India and South Africa.The cricketer-turned-commentator also pointed out that Suryakumar Yadav is the only reliable batter in Mr's line-up."Ishan Kishan, from couple of seasons before MI paid the big bucks... he is in the same kind of form. Tim David is still trying to fill the shoes of Kieron Pollard. On form, one player that you can maybe depend on, the player who you can expect to come good, is Suryakumar Yadav," he added.On the decision to name Hardik as captain, Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai Indians' Global Head of Cricket, admitted that it was a tough decision."The legacy is something we want to build on and make sure we keep fighting for those wins, those trophies. That's the focus going ahead. Probably, everyone in their eyes will think it is too soon, but it is a decision we had to make at some point," Jayawardene told Jio Cinema.Notably, Rohit has also been missing from India's T201 setup, along with fellow batter Virat Kohli. Both Rohit and Virat last played a T20I in 2022.Both players also opted out of the white-ball leg of the ongoing tour of South Africa. They will return to the team for the two-match Test series, starting with the first game from December 26 in Centurion.Also Read: IPL Auction 2024: Shock and excitement, Mitchell Starc reacts on record 24.75-crore deal with KKR
Brazil have struggled in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup and presently occupy sixth place in the South American tableEdinho, the son of Pele, expressed to AFP in an interview that Pele "would have been saddened" by the current state of the Brazilian national team, just days before the first anniversary of Pele's death on Friday. Brazil is facing challenges in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, currently holding the sixth position in the South American table, which is the last spot for direct qualification. The Selecao has encountered difficulties, especially in the absence of their prominent current star, Neymar, who has been sidelined with a long-term injury due to torn knee ligaments."This crisis didn't emerge suddenly; there are significant and intricate issues," remarked Edinho, 53, one of Pele's seven children."We are witnessing a decline... while we still have excellent players, in the past, we had a greater number of high-caliber players than we do today."Edinho, who was raised by his mother after Pele and she separated shortly after moving to New York when he signed for New York Cosmos in 1975 but grew closer to him in later life, added, "There is no doubt that if (Pele) had been here this year, he would have been very saddened."Santos, the Brazilian club where Pele spent the majority of his career, is currently facing a challenging period as they were relegated to the second division for the first time in their 111-year history.The club is grappling with financial problems and internal disputes within the board."Unfortunately, this comes as no surprise. Anyone who has followed the daily affairs of the club could have anticipated such a scenario, and it has indeed happened," remarked Edinho, who served as Santos' goalkeeper for several seasons.The commemorations to observe the first anniversary of Pele's passing from cancer at the age of 82, expected to be low-key, are scheduled for Friday.Also Read: European Court of Justice rules FIFA, UEFA breached EU Law over Super League ban
For some of India’s top stars, 2023 was the year when they had to pause, reflect and reboot. In some cases, to recover from injuries; in a few others, to rediscover lost form. All in the hope that when the big day comes, they’ll be ready and recharged for the challengeIn Odisha at the World Cup in January, after India lost the shootout against New Zealand to fall short of the quarterfinals, Manpreet Singh was on his knees, staring down at the turf in disbelief. It wasn’t supposed to end this way, for the team that won bronze at Tokyo Olympics. It was, to put it mildly, a disaster to go out that early.In Hangzhou at the Asian Games in October, when the final was deadlocked 0-0 against Japan with five minutes left to go in the first half, India were getting a bit desperate for the opening goal. As a rebound fell to him at the edge of the circle, Manpreet Singh unleashed a powerful reverse flick that flew into the roof of the net. He was on his knees again. Only this time, his teammates were mobbing him as he celebrated a rare and significant goal. India would go on to win the match 5-1.“Kya bolein yaar, I score only rarely,” Manpreet tells with a big smile. “When the ball came to me, I was only thinking of hitting the target. The coach tells me when I get into the circle, ‘you don’t shoot enough. So when you get a chance, go for it, your reverse hit is brilliant.’ That’s all I had in mind. And it flew well off my stick.”Indeed, 2023 was one of two halves for the Indian men’s hockey team. At a home World Cup, a chance to end the 48-year-old wait for a medal went begging. But as the year drew to a close, they clinched the title at the Asian Champions Trophy and the gold medal at Hangzhou Asian Games, which also sealed their place at the Paris Olympics.And Manpreet personified that arc better than any.The 2012 Olympic Games campaign was a nadir in Indian hockey as they lost all six matches to finish last, but for a 20-year-old Manpreet it was personally harrowing too. There were reports of cliques in the squad and of Manpreet being targeted. So when Manpreet says the disappointment of the 2023 World Cup was alongside that of London 2012 for him, it says a whole lot.“We were all quite disappointed. In the match against New Zealand, we didn’t play well at all. In a crucial match, we were not able to do our best. We will forever remember that we didn’t step up that day,” the 31-year-old says.But if 2012 was a campaign of chaos, 2023 hurt because there was a general sentiment that this team was really good and capable of a podium finish. “Handling the pressure of crucial matches, dealing with the presence of home crowd… that match against NZ, we should have done better, because there was confidence in us from the nation. We were confident too, but it will always remain hurtful that we couldn’t deliver,” Manpreet says.Siddharth Pandey, hockey commentator and FIH Level 2 certified coach is someone who has kept a close eye on this Indian team in recent years as a broadcaster. “What happened with Manpreet at the World Cup was in line with what happened with the rest of the team, where multiple things went wrong,” Pandey tells this daily. “Crucially, Hardik Singh’s injury had a huge impact on the team and Manpreet lost a crucial supporting act in the midfield. Then there was the pressure of playing in front of family and thousands of fans. We are usually good away from home these days.”For someone who has achieved quite a lot in Indian hockey, as a player and leader, the World Cup disaster could potentially have been seen as a stopping point. But Manpreet went back to the drawing board. After a few Pro League matches, the team got a break and Manpreet was driven to bounce back. As Rohit Sharma said after the men’s cricket team’s home World Cup heartbreak, it wasn’t easy to move on but athletes have to find a way.“Spending time with the family definitely helped,” Manpreet, a doting father to a girl now, says. “Like Rohit said about how even going out and meeting people was difficult, such a disappointment is huge. We athletes put in all our efforts for years and years, for that one big day in a tournament. When you don’t succeed, you feel despondent. It takes a while to heal. But then you have to start thinking… what next? We can only change what happens in the future.”It started with fitness. Though he was on a break, Manpreet told his family that he’d not be indulging in his diet. One of the fittest athletes there is, Manpreet went about focussing on staying in the best shape possible. “I definitely had to reboot. And when we returned to the camp, the senior players got together and said ‘Whatever has happened, we can’t change. But we can learn. The mistakes we made at the World Cup shouldn’t be repeated’.”Adding a new dimensionWhile he is no longer the team captain, Manpreet – unsurprisingly – doesn’t add much weightage to it, insisting that the likes of himself and PR Sreejesh are there to share the burden with Harmanpreet Singh. Pandey goes to the extent of saying that being a leader without being the captain has liberated him.“He’s a father now, he’s in a good space personally. The Manpreet of 6-7 years ago was still very disciplined on the pitch every time he played, but was quite outgoing,” Pandey says, adding he saw a version of Manpreet at ACT who was enjoying his game, and took up attacking responsibilities that weren’t quite his forte earlier.New head coach Craig Fulton came in and initially had Manpreet playing in the defence. But it wasn’t new to him, he started his national journey as a defender on the left side. “His fundamentals were sensational, that’s why we had the nickname ‘Korean’ for him,” Pandey recalls. “Then he transitioned into being a wonderful central defensive midfielder across coaches. And now he has added a dimension that not a lot of people thought he had, which is shining as a central attacking midfielder.”Graham Reid’s era saw Manpreet evolve into one of the best guarding midfielders in the game, who was terrific at ball retrieval and starting transitions by receiving the ball into space. Fulton, after the initial shift, brought him back to midfield and gave him the freedom to go forward too. It was evident in Chennai, where Manpreet was player of the match in two of India’s matches, driving masterfully through the midfield.“He can now be the extra man creating overloads in the circle as he was when he scored the opening goal in the Asian Games final. You can see the number of aerials he receives at the baseline, making runs from deep. Under Reid, he was a ball retriever and he was the guard responsible for counter control, and was brilliant at it. Now Fulton has entrusted something new with him, and he is delivering. He is now a 3-dimensional hockey player, and to do that at 31 is quite impressive, and to add to that he is supremely fit,” Pandey says.At the Asian Games, one of the standout features of India’s play was assists for players at the second post and the number of 1-2 passes they made to open up scoring opportunities. Fulton’s philosophy is built on control and a defend-to-win mantra but within that, he is enabling the attackers to dovetail with each other, something the Manpreet-Hardik-Vivek axis is crucial for.“I found joy in going forward, I have a lot of freedom. My understanding has gotten better with other players, when Hardik goes forward I know I have to focus on counter control. And vice versa. Craig also believes that whenever we get the chance we have to use our Indian skills. Our ability to beat players is one of the best in the world, so whenever we can, we must use that ‘Indian masala’,” he adds with a smile.As Indian hockey looks ahead to 2024, Manpreet might not be the captain, but he is leading the way by evolving and setting high benchmarks that youngsters must aspire to. As Pandey says, “For him to have started his journey at a damaging event like London 2012 to now be months away from a fourth Olympics appearance, that’s an incredible career graph. Whatever happens in Paris, Manpreet goes down as an all-time great.”What 2023 taught, what 2024 meansFor someone who has seen many highs and lows in the constantly dramatic world of Indian hockey, Manpreet – and the rest of the Indian team – got a rude reality check at the Odisha World Cup. The defeat against New Zealand was a tough pill to swallow and outgoing coach Graham Reid called for the need to have a mental conditioning coach.In came Paddy Upton, to join new head coach Craig Fulton, who has plenty of experience working with Indian athletes. While Manpreet was aware of the need to reboot personally, there was an acknowledgment that India needed help in handling high-pressure situations.“When Paddy came in, the conversations were about focussing on the controllables. You can’t control the weather, you can’t control the fans turning up at a venue… don’t worry about the result, focus on the steps to get there. To remain stable ahead of a big match, when the pressure is on,” Manpreet says, about moving on from the World Cup heartbreak.Unlike in 2018, the qualification for Paris 2024 has been taken care of early and the Indian men’s team can now fully focus on fine-tuning their game. It would involve using the Pro League matches to full effect. Their dominance at the Asian level is not in doubt still, but there are bigger targets to check off for Fulton, Harmanpreet, Manpreet, and Co. Lessons must be learned from Odisha 2023 as they look ahead. Also Read: Upcoming games 2024 for console and PC
After leading Mumbai Indians for 10 seasons, Rohit Sharma was replaced by Hardik Pandya as the captain of the franchise ahead of IPL 2024 season.Five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 champions Mumbai Indians dropped a bomb on the entire cricketing universe as they announced the decision to replace skipper Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya. The all-rounder arrived from Gujarat Titans as part of a trade after MI decided to send Cameron Green to Royal Challengers Bangalore. But, little did fans know that the trade from GT wasn't in the capacity of a player but also a 'captain'. But, what led to this change in the leadership role?Rohit Sharma, a man who led Mumbai Indians to 5 IPL titles in 10 years, was replaced by Hardik Pandya, a player who led Gujarat Titans to two consecutive IPL finals, winning one of them. The move hints a big change in Rohit's situation, considering his role as India's captain in white-ball teams is also under question since the conclusion of Cricket World Cup 2023.We take a look at the factors that might have prompted Mumbai Indians to make the change:Rohit Sharma's Form:While Rohit had an impressive Cricket World Cup, his form for MI over the last couple of years wasn't the best. In IPL 2022 season, he scored 268 runs in 14 games at an average of 19.14 while in the 2023 season saw him scoring 332 runs in 16 matches at an average of 20.75.While it can't be said that captaincy was taking a toll on Rohit's performance, MI did not to make a big change if they are to challenge for the title again, while also paving the way for the future.IPL 2025 Mega Auction:With just one season to go before the IPL 2025 mega auction gets underway, Mumbai Indians had to lay out plans for the future. Before the last mega auction, the BCCI allowed franchises to retain a maximum of three Indian and 2 overseas players. The complex situation saw them release Hardik but the franchise doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes this time.In all likeliness, MI's Indian retentions would be Suryakumar Yadav (World No. T20I batter), Jasprit Bumrah (arguably the best T20 bowler in the world) and skipper Hardik Pandya. While the exact rules for the IPL 2025 auction aren't known yet, Rohit looks like a big candidate to be released if only three Indians are allowed to be retained.Smooth Transition:With Rohit Sharma 36 and still a capable batter, Mumbai Indians want to make the captaincy change at a time where the Hitman can oversee the transition and help Hardik become an even better leader. By making a captaincy change early, MI are reducing the risk of finding late solutions to the problem in a scenario where Rohit might no longer be with the team.
