Sunil Gavaskar had once written that if ever Salim Durani wrote his autobiography, the apt title would be, 'Ask for a Six'.

A brilliant conversation unfolded between the two, with Warner pointing out the difference between red-ball and white-ball cricket.
After a torrid season last year, which saw them finish bottom of the points table, five-time champions Mumbai Indians eye a winning start when they take on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Eyeing a record-extending sixth title, Mumbai will aim to put their best foot forward against a formidable RCB side. Captain Rohit Sharma and pacer Jofra Archer have been declared fit by head coach Mark Boucher. However, MI will miss the services of star pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Jhye Richardson.
One of the finest cricketers to ever play the sport, MS Dhoni is a name that has been embedded in the minds of every cricket lover. As a captain, Dhoni's achievements remain unparalleled. The wicket-keeper batter led the Indian team from the front, helping them win the 2007 ICC World T20, 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy, setting benchmarks for future generations. As entire India celebrates the anniversary of India's ODI World Cup triumph in 2011, Dhoni's comments from the match still remain a lesson for all those aspiring to become great leaders.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) kick off their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 campaign against five-time champions Mumbai Indians at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB, who finished fourth last season, have made it to the playoffs in each of the last three seasons. However, they have failed to reach the final since 2016. Eyeing their first IPL title, RCB have added a lot of firepower into their bowling unit, with England pacer Reece Topley one of the prominent arrivals. MI, on the other hand, tie a record-extending sixth title, following an underwhelming campaign last year.
Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to maintain their recent dominance over Mumbai Indians when the two teams clash in their opening match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. Having recorded three consecutive wins against Mumbai Indians, RCB would want to make a winning start in front of their own fans. However, the Faf du Plessis-led side will be without the services of star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and pacer Josh Hazleood. It will be interesting to see who will fill the four overseas spots for them.
