cricket stars are backing protests sweeping the island nation over a spiralling economic crisis, with former Test captain Mahela Jayawardene urging government leaders to resign. The country is suffering severe shortages of food, fuel and other essentials -- along with record inflation and crippling power cuts -- in its most painful downturn since independence from Britain in 1948. Protests condemning the government's management of the crisis were staged around the island on the weekend in defiance of a curfew and a state of emergency that saw troops deployed to keep order on the streets. Jayawardene, who now coaches Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, said Sri Lanka's leadership had lost the public's confidence. Current and former cricketers enjoy a massive fan following in Sri Lanka and their comments carry weight. "True leaders own up to mistakes," Jayawardene wrote on Twitter. "There is massive urgency here to protect the people of our country united in their suffering," he added. "Certain people controlling the economy of this country have lost the people's confidence and must stand down. We then need a good team to give the country confidence and belief."

"How the dream started and how it was accomplished!" legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar tweeted.

Rajasthan Royals as they outplayed Sunrisers Hyderabad in all three departments of the game to register a 61-run win here at the MCA stadium. Rajasthan pacers wreaked havoc on Hyderabad batters as Prasidh Krishna and Trent Boult reduced them to 9 for 3. "It was a very different wicket than what we thought. If you bowled Test match lengths, the wicket was helping fast bowlers," said Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson in the post-match presentation. Sanju Samson led from the front scoring 55 from 27 balls to take his team's total to 210 for 6 in 20 overs. Samson bagged the 'Player of the Match' award for his blistering knock.

RR face SRH on Tuesday, at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune and Samson will be hoping to challenge for the playoffs. Rajasthan took to social media to post a video of the training session which also included Lasith Malinga watching on.
