India and Gujarat Titans batter Shubman Gill on Saturday chose Sachin Tendulkar as his dream opening partner in cricket. In a Q&A interaction at Jio cinema, when asked who would be his dream opening pair, he answered that he wanted to open with Sachin. "Sachin Tendulkar," he said. Shubman in this year's IPL has scored 228 in six matches with an average of 32.74 comprising two fifties. He has the best score of 67 and has a strike rate of 138.18. When he was asked to describe Hardik Pandya's captaincy in one word, he said that Pandya's captaincy is electric.
The incident involving Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has sparked a lot of controversy in recent times. Several videos showed that the duo did not shake hands after the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals. A debate followed and reports surfaced that both of them have unfollowed each other on Instagram. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri was asked about how he will deal with a similar situation and his response was quite straightforward.
Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni was extremely busy behind the stumps as his side defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Friday. The ex-India captain took one catch and effected one stumping and a run-out as SRH were restricted to 134/7 in 20 overs. The catch taken by Dhoni to dismiss Aiden Markram earned him a lot of praise but the “catch of the match” award went to Ruturaj Gaikwad for his attempt to dismiss Harry Brook. Dhoni spoke about his chance and even recalled a similar effort involving current India head coach Rahul Dravid.
Mumbai Indians youngster Arjun Tendulkar picked up his first wicket in front of the home crowd against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, however, he also ended up featuring in an unwanted record. Arjun conceded 31 runs in the 16th over and with that over he bowled 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.
India and Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma touched the mark of 250 sixes in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, becoming the first-ever Indian to do so. The 'Hitman' as he is known to millions, accomplished this feat against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in his side's home arena of Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. In the match, Rohit played a knock of 44 runs in 27 balls. His knock consisted of four boundaries and three sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of over 162. He was caught and bowled by Liam Livingstone during the run-chase of 215.
In a high-scoring thriller, Punjab Kings beat Mumbai Indians by 13 runs in an IPL 2023 game in Mumbai on Saturday. Invited to bat, Punjab Kings piled up 214 for 8 with Sam Curran, the highest paid overseas recruit, smashing 55 off 29 balls and adding 92 for the fifth wicket in just eight overs with Harpreet Bhatia (41 off 28 balls). National T20 team contender Jitesh Sharma (25 off 7 balls) also upped the ante towards the end.
Indian compound archer Jyothi Surekha Vennam displayed some flawless shooting as she grabbed individual and mixed team gold medals in the World Cup Stage 1 here on Saturday. Jyothi and her debutant partner Ojas Deotale narrowly missed a world record when they tamed Chinese Taipei 159-154 in the compound mixed team final to open India's account with a gold in the morning session. While Jyothi had all perfect 10s in her eight arrows, the 20-year-old Deotale missed the centre once, in the final end when he shot a 9. The Indian duo missed the world record score of 160/160 by just one point.
