Watch: Rohit Sharma Furious At Piyush Chawla After Poor Fielding Effort in GT vs MI IPL 2023 Game

The Gujarat Titans batters were on a rampage against Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2023 game on Tuesday. Shubman Gill hit a half-century while David Miller and Abhinav Manohar too came up with vital contributions. GT notched a huge total of 207/6 in 20 overs. MI captain Rohit Sharma would have liked the total to be lower clearly. The IPL-winning skipper also looked frustrated when his teammate Piyush Chawla displayed a poor fielding effort. The incident happened on the third ball of the 17th over of GT innings with Riley Meredith bowling to Abhinav Manohar, who directed the yorker length delivery towards third man. Fielder Chawla, stationed at short third man, could not stop the ball as it went between his legs towards the boundary. Rohit was not happy at all and looked frustrated.

Ajinkya Rahane "Would Not Have Got A Place...": Ex India Star On How World Test Championship Final Door Opened For Veteran

Ajinkya Rahane's return to the Indian Test squad was the biggest news to have come out of India's World Test Championship final squad announcement on Tuesday. India will play its second WTC final against Australia at The Oval, London, from June 7 to 11. Rahane's comeback after 15 months was on predictable lines following Shreyas Iyer's back injury that ruled him out of the grand finale. Iyer recently underwent a surgery in the UK to treat stress fractures in his lower back. Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan also reckoned that Rahane's past performances in overseas conditions will bode him well.

Arjun Tendulkar Ecstatic After Shaking Off Poor Outing vs PBKS With Wriddhiman Saha's Wicket. Twitter Reacts

Mumbai Indians pacer Arjun Tendulkar drew a lot of criticism after he conceded 48 runs in three overs against Punjab Kings in an IPL 2023 game. Out of those three, he conceded one over alone. Playing only his second IPL match, Arjun, son of the great Sachin Tendulkar, became part of an unwanted tally. Arjun's 31-runs over was the second most expensive over by an MI bowler in the IPL. Daniel Sams holds the first position as he conceded 35 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022. For the third position, there is a tie between three players as Pawan Suyal against Royal Challengers Bangalore (2014), Alzarri Joseph against Rajasthan Royals (2019) and Mitchell McClenaghan vs PBKS (2017) had conceded 28 runs each.

I'm Not Nadal's Replacement,' Says Alcaraz As French Open Hopes Boosted

Carlos Alcaraz insisted Sunday that he is not Rafael Nadal's "replacement" as the teenager comfortably defended his Barcelona title, bolstering his bid to succeed his compatriot as French Open champion. The 19-year-old brushed aside Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 6-4 to add the Barcelona trophy to wins in Buenos Aires and Indian Wells in 2023. He now has nine career titles. With 14-time French Open champion Nadal sidelined since January with a hip injury and world number one and two-time Roland Garros winner Novak Djokovic struggling with an elbow problem, Alcaraz reinforced his credentials as a major contender to add the clay-court Grand Slam title to the US Open he captured last year.
