NEW DELHI : Glenn Maxwell relishes being part of exciting games but the Royal Challengers Bangalore all-rounder did not hide his disappointment following their narrow defeat in Monday's Indian Premier League (IPL) thriller against Chennai Super Kings.
Handling youngsters at the death overs is a "challenge" and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is looking at the seasoned Dwayne Bravo to help them out. Along with Dhoni, Bravo has been a part of some of CSK's finest wins in the Indian Premier League. "It is a difficult one for the youngsters. But they are working hard. Bravo is one of the specialists. Under him, the bowlers will gain confidence. It's a team game. The coach, the bowling coach and the senior players guide them," Dhoni said after his team's eight-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore here on Monday.
Virat Kohli is well and truly back. Since the 2022 Asia Cup, when the former India captain ended his lengthy century drought, Kohli has been scoring big runs. In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 so far, Kohli has scored three half-centuries in four games. His starts have proved crucial for RCB too, who are one of the teams yet to win the IPL. "It became difficult in between. Things got very hectic. But then you had to step away in times, where everyone was going for more and more. I was like if I just keep being part of the rat race, I am going into a space which is very, very unhealthy. Me taking break was the most important decision at that point of time. It brought back the freshness," said Kohli in an interview with former India cricketer Robin Uthappa on Jio Cinema.
England star Ben Stokes was named the Wisden Almanack's leading men's cricketer in the world for the third time in four years on Monday.
MS Dhoni is known widely as ‘Captain Cool' due to his calm demeanour on the field but the Chennai Super Kings skipper was left fuming during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday. In the 18th over of the run chase, Wayne Parnell played a shot off Matheesha Pathirana to extra-cover and bolted for a single. On the non-striker end, Suyash Prabhudessai was caught napping and Moeen Ali had a brilliant chance to run him out. However, Moeen was unable to gather the ball properly and by the time he threw it to Dhoni, the batsman was safely inside the crease. Dhoni was visibly agitated by the effort and he even gestured in anger towards the England international.
New Zealand eked out a thrilling four-run victory in the third Twenty20 International against Pakistan in Lahore to stay alive in the series and all-rounder Daryl Mitchell said the win would give them confidence for the last two matches in Rawalpindi.
West Indies legend Chris Gayle ditched fellow Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) 'Hall of Famer' AB de Villiers to pick Virat Kohli as his favourite batting partner. Recently, both Gayle and AB de Villiers were both inducted to their 'Hall of Fame' by RCB. During his time with the franchise, Gayle opened the batting several times with Kohli, and the pair won several games for RCB. He also played some memorable knocks with de Villiers. Speaking on Jio Cinema, Gayle explained the reason why he chose Virat as his favourite batting partner.
