Franchise cricket's most diverse entity - the Knight Riders Group - is all set to enter UAE cricket after it acquired the rights to own and operate the Abu Dhabi franchise in the UAE’s flagship T20 league.
Knight Riders Group has bought another T20 team, this time the Abu Dhabi franchise, in UAE's new T20 League. The Knight Riders already own the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL (from 2008), and the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League (from 2015). "Recently, the Knight Riders Group made a significant investment in Major League Cricket (MLC) in the USA and intends to set up a franchise and build a world-class cricket stadium, in the greater Los Angeles area. This investment by the Knight Riders Group, which is led by Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, along with Juhi Chawla & her husband Jay Mehta, will establish their 4th T20 franchise around the world in IPL, CPL, MLC and now in UAE's T20 league," a release from the Knight Riders on Thursday said.
Former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum has emerged as the leading candidate to take over as England Test coach, according to reports.
A premier strike bowler for Australia across all three formats, Pat Cummins has had a mixed Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 so far. After missing the first three games of the season to international commitments, Cummins announced his arrival in style, smashing a 15-ball 56 to help Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians. However, after a string of poor performances with the ball, the Australian Test skipper was dropped from the team. After missing the last four games, Cummins returned to the KKR team and made an instant impact with the ball as he came back to haunt MI again.
Jasprit Bumrah gave a reminder to everyone about his impeccable ability to bowl in limited overs cricket as he returned with figures of 5/10 in Mumbai Indians' match against Kolkata Knight Riders. It was Bumrah's first ever fifer in IPL and that effort has put him on the cusp of a milestone in cricket shortest format.
Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 59 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. MI are bottom of the IPL 2022 Points Table with four points from 11 games, including two wins and nine defeats. Already out of contention for the play-offs, the Rohit Sharma-led side lost by 52 runs vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their previous fixture at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
Chennai Super Kings packing. CSK, with four wins from 11 games, will be eliminated as it is if both Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers (now on 14) reach 16 points. But given the nature of T20 cricket, there's no guarantee that both the teams will reach that mark and there is still a sense of hope among CSK fans that one team may make it to Play-offs with seven wins.
Delhi Capitals (DC) defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) by eight wickets in Match 58 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
