Cricket can sometimes present pretty awkward moments. Some of them can be funny while others can be dangerous. But a video has gone viral on social media which can safely be termed as a mixture of both. In the video, a bowler, training in the nets, takes on the bind-fold challenge. He is a spinners and goes about his job with the blind-fold on pretty confidently. While the start of his run-up is prefect, the end is not. It could have very well led to serious injury.
After the IPL 2023 retention list was announced on Sunday, the one news that made the headlines was Hardik Pandya moving back to Mumbai Indians from Gujarat Titans. Hardik Pandya was named in the IPL 2024 retention list by Gujarat Titans but a couple of hours after the deadline ended sources told NDTV that the Indian T20I cricket team captain was traded to Mumbai Indians. On Monday, the IPL officially confirmed the move.
Jason Roy produced a classy unbeaten 84 as Chennai Braves clinched a nervy four-run win over Team Abu Dhabi at the Abu Dhabi T10 on Wednesday.
Former India opener player Gautam Gambhir applauded the contract extension of Rahul Dravid as Team India's head coach and believes it is promising news for the national side as the "T20 World Cup is around the corner." The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday announced the extension of contracts for Dravid and the support staff of Team India (Senior Men). Dravid's second stint with Team India will be the tour of South Africa from December 10, which will have three ODIs and T20Is each and two Tests. The red-ball leg will start from December 26. Following that will be a five-match Test series against England at home, before the ICC T20 World Cup in June in West Indies/USA.
Former Indian cricket team fast bowler Ashish Nehra was all praise for Rinku Singh following his tremendous form in the ongoing T20I series against Australia. Rinku proved his mettle as a finisher for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and he was brilliant in the second T20I match as he slammed 31 off just 9 deliveries. Nehra called Rinku a major asset for the Indian cricket team and said that although he is restricted to T20I cricket right now, a consistent showing may find the explosive left-handed batter a place in the team for ODI cricket as well.
Ben Stokes has undergone surgery on his troublesome left knee and will begin a rehabilitation programme with the aim of being fit for England’s next Test assignment in just under two months’ time.
Mumbai Indians secured Hardik Pandya through an all-cash deal with Gujarat Titans. It is one of the biggest trades in the history of the Indian Premier League as Hardik has a price tag of INR 15 crore, an amount that was paid by GT when they bought the player for their first-ever IPL season in 2022. Mumbai Indians must be a happy side after the recent trade but it would not have been possible had there not been a 'Royal Challengers Bangalore factor' in it.
