Prithvi Shaw will lead Mumbai in the knock-out rounds of the Ranji Trophy, beginning from June 6 in Bengaluru. Mumbai are set to play Uttarakhand in the quarterfinals and the Salil Ankola-led senior selection committee on Monday picked the 21-member squad, which was announced late night.
SunRisers Hyderabad pacer Umran Malik lit up the IPL 2022 season with his raw pace, which saw him taking 22 wickets. His performance did not go unnoticed as he was named in India's 18-member squad for the upcoming five-match series against South Africa, beginning June 9 in Delhi. A day after being named in the team, Umran met his mentor Irfan Pathan and they had "a tiny celebration". Irfan Pathan shared pictures on Twitter in which Umran can be seen feeding cake to Irfan and SRH teammate Abdul Samad.
Delhi Capitals suffered a major heartbreak as they lost their final IPL 2022 match to Mumbai Indians and thus failed to qualify for the playoffs as Royal Challengers Bangalore went through. A major factor in DC's defeat was the 11-ball knock of 34 runs by Singaporean big-hitter Tim David, who swung the match in Mumbai's favour. But David could have been dismissed for a duck has DC captain Rishabh Pant decided to take review for a caught behind shout on the first ball that David had faced.
Veteran wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik has given some wonderful performances for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season and this is the main reason behind the 36-year-old earning a call-up to India's squad for the upcoming five-match T20 International (T20I)series against South Africa, beginning June 9 in New Delhi. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan congratulated Karthik on being named in the squad, saying it is a "fab story of not giving up hope".
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma had an underwhelming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season as he was not able to register even a single half-century. The right-handed batter ended the season with 268 runs in 14 games with his highest score being 48. For the entire season, Rohit averaged just 19.14. Former Team India coach Ravi Shastri feels Rohit does not need a break and he explained his reasons behind it.
The league stage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season concluded on Sunday with Punjab Kings beating SunRisers Hyderabad by five wickets in a dead rubber at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Three-wicket hauls from Harpreet Brar and Nathan Ellis and a fantastic six-hitting show from Liam Livingstone powered PBKS to a comfortable win, with 29 deliveries to spare. The win saw Punjab Kings finish sixth, while SRH's campaign ended with them 8th on the IPL 2022 points table.
IPL 2022 summed up Rohit Sharma's worst season in the T20 league, both as a batsman and captain, in a nutshell. Needing 160 against the Delhi Capitals on Saturday night to salvage some pride in their last game of this edition, Mumbai Indians needed their captain, missing with the bat through the campaign, to come to the party, for once. However, all one saw was an out-of-form class batsman struggling to put bat to ball in his 13-ball two. The 35-year-old's misery ended when he chipped Anrich Nortje to Shardul Thakur at mid-on. Never before has the Mumbaikar -- easily amongst the top three white-ball batsmen in world cricket -- looked so ungainly, out-of-sorts and searching for answers.
Umran Malik, who's rocked the Indian Premier League with his thunderbolts, has earned a much-anticipated call-up to the Indian team for the five-match T20I series against South Africa, which will kick off on June 9 in Delhi. Malik, 22, son of a fruit seller in Jammu, has been generating fearsome pace above 150kmph on a regular basis. His hostile spells for Sunrisers Hyderabad have had batsman hopping, fans cheering and pundits calling for his inclusion in Team India. All-time great Dale Steyn, who's mentoring Malik at SRH, hailed him as a superstar in the making.
