This week, I am in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, which last week was accorded the unwanted title of the world’s most polluted city. It is an unlikely setting for an international six-a-side cricket tournament.
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.
It said a lot about how much the Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off meant to UAE cricket that Karthik Meiyappan ambled off the field at its conclusion with a souvenir stump in his possession.
Punjab Kings had a great start in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 game against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Wednesday. Prabhsimran Singh scored a 34-ball 60 as PBKS cruised. After Prabhsimran departed in the 10th over, PBKS' Sri Lankan recruit Bhanuka Rajapaksa arrived at the crease. But he could last only one ball die to a strange reason. In the 11th over, Dhawan slammed a hard shot off Ravichandran Ashwin and the ball hit the forearm of Rajapaksa's right hand. The SL batter looked to be in pain and left the field.
India opener Shubman Gill has climbed a spot to career-best fourth position among batters in the latest ICC ODI Player Rankings released on Wednesday. Apart from Gill, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma too features in the top 10. While Kohli also moved a spot to seventh, Rohit remained static at eighth in the list led by Pakistan skipper Babar Azam. Pacer Mohammed Siraj continues to be the only Indian bowler in the top 10 as he held on to his number three spot, behind Australian quick Josh Hazlewood and New Zealand's Trent Boult.
Kolkata Knight Riders have signed England opener Jason Roy for the ongoing Indian Premier League to bolster a batting line-up weakened by the absence of star batsman Shreyas Iyer and all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan.
New Zealand demolished Sri Lanka with a nine-wicket victory in the second T20I to level the series Wednesday, as opener Tim Seifert finished on 79 not out. Black Caps bowler Adam Milne had earlier taken five wickets for just 26 runs in a man-of-the-match performance as Sri Lanka were skittled for just 141 runs. "You always dream of taking five wickets for New Zealand. As I had three in the last over with a couple of tailenders in, I started feeling a little bit greedy," Milne later admitted.
