NEW DELHI : South Africa seamer Anrich Nortje and Australia opener David Warner will be available for Delhi Capitals' next match in the Indian Premier League (IPL), coach Ricky Ponting said after the team's defeat by Gujarat Titans on Saturday.
The 2011 World Cup triumph is a memory that is close to every Indian cricket fan and one cannot get over that night where MS Dhoni and his team gave a billion people a reason to rejoice. In the summit clash, India defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium as they chased down 275 to register their second 50-over World Cup title win. On the 11th anniversary of the triumph, Ravi Shastri, who was on commentary duties for the final, recreated the tournament winning moment where he had famously remarked "Dhoni finishes it off in style".
Ravindra Jadeja-led Chennai Super Kings have lost their opening two matches of the IPL 2022 season and the franchise will look to bring their campaign on track against Punjab Kings on Sunday. CSK lost their matches against Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants and this is the first time that the franchise lost the first two matches of an IPL season. In the second game, they failed to defend 211 and LSG and would hope for a better showing in the game against PBKS.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Andre Russell described his unbeaten knock of 70 runs, which included eight sixes, as a big achievement after KKR chased down a 138-run target in 14.3 overs against Punjab Kings (PBKS) to register their second consecutive win of the season at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. However, Kolkata Knight Riders got off to a decent start with openers hitting consecutive boundaries, but Punjab's Kagiso Rabada dismissed Ajinkya Rahane while Odeon Smith got the wicket of Shreyas Iyer and Rahul Chahar struck twice dismissing Shreyas for 26 and Nitish Rana for a duck to leave KKR tottering at 51 for 4.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) wicketkeeper-batter Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who had earlier withdrawn his retirement from international cricket, said that he was told to do so by the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) board. Rajapaksa has been in blistering form for PBKS in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, as he has scored a total of 75 runs in just two matches, at a strike rate of 238.70. He played a powerful knock of 31 runs off just 9 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Friday, at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
Adam Milne's injury, Jordan's tonsil infection compound team's woesIt's not every day that Chennai Super Kings fail to defend 210. That's what happened on Thursday at the Brabourne Stadium against Lucknow Super Giants as CSK lost their second game in a row. CSK's bowling came under the scanner and the absence of Deepak Chahar, who is still recuperating from a quadricep tear, was keenly felt.
Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai ended a 28 year wait for the trophy and gave over a billion Indians something very special to celebrate. Apart from the title-winning hit by Dhoni, Ravi Shastri’s fervent commentary "Dhoni, finishes it off in style, India lifts the World Cup after 28 years" still reverberates in every Indian cricket fan’s ears. As Team India celebrates their 11th anniversary of the 2011 World Cup win on April 2, TimesofIndia.com spoke to the then strength and mental conditioning coach of the Dhoni-led team in 2011, Paddy Upton to take a walk down memory lane.
On April 2, 2022 Team India completes its 11th anniversary of lifting the ODI Men's Cricket World Cup for the second time in their cricketing history under the inspirational leadership of MS Dhoni. India had defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets in the final at the Wankhede Stadium to send the entire nation into a frenzy. Remembering the occasion, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also shared a post which featured the entire winning contingent from the World Cup holding the trophy. The caption of the post read: "Etched in our memories FOREVER !#OnThisDay in 2011, #TeamIndia won the ODI World Cup for the second time."
