Rajasthan Royals (RR)'s Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal were on top of their game during the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year. While star batter Buttler won the Orange Cap for scoring the most runs in the season, veteran leg-spinner Chahal bagged the Purple Cap which is awarded to the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. Chahal, who joined RR ahead of IPL 2022, developed a friendly bond with Buttler in a very short time. Recently, Buttler and his England teammate Joe Root, who is also part of RR for the ongoing season, were involved in a candid chat.
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson on Wednesday revealed why Jos Buttler did not open the innings for them during their defeat to Punjab Kings (PBKS) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Guwahati. Chasing a target of 198, veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin opened the batting for the franchise, along with Yashasvi Jaiswal. The decision, however, backfired as RR were reduced to 26/2 inside the first four overs. Buttler came to bat at no.3 but was later dismissed on 19 (11) by Nathan Ellis.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson looks set to miss the one-day World Cup in India later this year after rupturing a knee ligament, it was announced Thursday. The star batsman needs surgery after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while fielding for Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League, New Zealand Cricket say. Black Caps coach Gary Stead said it was "unlikely" the 32-year-old would be ready to play in the ODI World Cup, which starts in October. Williamson's absence would be a major blow for the Black Caps, who have never won the World Cup but finished runners-up in the past two tournaments.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) action is slowly peaking as most teams have played two matches each. While this is too early to take a call. some teams have impressed while others have been slow-starters. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis' Royal Challengers Bangalore started with a win against Mumbai Indians. The win brought a smile on AB de Villers's face, who was recently inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, and he wants the side to all the way. However, he has predicted the Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans to win the IPL 2023.
MELBOURNE : Australia opener David Warner is in the frame for the World Test Championship final against India but selectors' boss George Bailey declined to back him as an automatic inclusion for the Ashes squad.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Yuzvendra Chahal on Wednesday leapfrogged past legendary Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga to become the second-highest wicket-taker in Indian Premier League (IPL) history. The veteran spinner is the only Indian bowler to pick 170+ wickets in the cash-rich league. He accomplished this landmark during his side's match against Punjab Kings in Guwahati. In the match, Chahal was punished. After a match-winning 4/17 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, it was a bad day at work for the spinner. While he got the wicket of Jitesh Sharma for 27 off 16 balls, he was smashed for 50 runs in his four-over quota and ended with an economy rate of 12.50.
Gujarat Titans had yet another memorable night as they defeated Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2023 match on Tuesday. Playing at Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi, the defending champions restricted the Capitals at 162/8 and then chased down the target with six wickets and 11 balls remaining. In the brilliant victory, the main contribution was from batter Sai Sudharsan, who played an unbeaten knock of 62 off 48 balls and took GT to their second win of the season. The 21-year-old batter has been receiving a lot of praise for his knock and former India batter Sunil Gavaskar also did not shy away from praising him.
