"Felt Extremely Backed": David Miller Reveals Secret Behind His Success For Gujarat Titans

After helping Gujarat Titans to seal a spot in the final of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Tuesday, star batter David Miller said continued backing from the team has played a big role in improving his game in this season. Miller was the chief creator of GT's brilliant seven-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals. The South African played a ballistic knock of 68 from 38 balls and along with captain Hardik Pandya's 40 off 27 balls, guided IPL debutants Gujarat Titans to a seven-wicket win over the inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens.

In his short international career, Hardik Pandya has seen it all -- highs and lows, injuries, surgery, being embroiled in controversies -- but he says he faces them with a smiling face. Putting behind all these, Pandya has shone not just as an all-rounder but as a leader, taking an under-rated Gujarat Titans to the final in a dream IPL debut season. "People always talk, that's their job. I can't help," Pandya said in a virtual media interaction after leading the Titans to a seven-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday night to seal a final berth.

IPL 2022: Dinesh Karthik is 'that rock' of the side, says RCB's Mike Hesson

Indian Premier League (IPL) side Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has revealed that when South African stalwart AB de Villiers decided to quit the team and announced his retirement at the end of the 2021 season, the team was taken aback. But the way wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has shaped up this season, he has become "that rock" of the side. "DK (Dinesh Karthik) has probably been that rock. When you miss a guy like AB (de Villiers), we talked about how you are going to replace AB and now we are not doing that, but he (Karthik) has been exceptional in terms of finishing," said Mike Hesson, RCB's director of cricket operations, on RCB Bold diaries before the Eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants at the Eden Gardens here later on Wednesday. The last few games played by RCB witnessed their batters putting up a fine show while their much-talked about top order sprang back to life in the last league game against Gujarat Titans. With the team keeping its hopes alive of making it to the final, Hesson felt that a collaborative effort from Virat Kohli, skipper Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell helped the side tame the Titans.

Asia Cup: Japan Crush India 5-2, Sardar Singh-Coached Team Looking At Exit Door

A new-look Indian team paid for its inexperience and profligacy with Asian champions Japan soundly thrashing them 5-2 in a group A league match of the men's Asia Cup hockey championship in Jakarta on Tuesday. Having drawn against Pakistan in the opening game, India's chances after this defeat have been badly dented as even a big win against Indonesia in the last game might not be enough for qualification to the knock-out stages. Ken Nagayoshi, Kosei Kawabe (twice), Ryomi Ooka and Koji Yamasaki scored for Japan while Pawan Rajbhar and Uttam Singh found the target for the Indians.
