Contrary to slam-bang cricket that is mostly associated with the shortest format of the game, SRH are mostly banking on partnerships to cross the line. They will again look for another good start from their skipper and Abhishek Sharma to score a hat-trick of wins when they meet Kolkata Knight Riders at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday.
On Wednesday, Rohit Sharma became the second Indian batter to reach 10,000 T20 runs. The Mumbai Indians (MI) captain reached the huge milestone during his side's Match 23 fixture against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the ongoing IPL 2022 season. The batter smashed a six off Kagiso Rabada's to seal the unique feat but lost his wicket in the next delivery itself as he got a massive top-edge to Vaibhav Arora at short fine leg. The only other Indian batter to reach this milestone is none other than Virat Kohli. Meanwhile, other than Rohit and Kohli, only Chris Gayle, Shoaib Malik, Kieron Pollard, Aaron Finch and David Warner have reached 10,000 in T20 cricket.
Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma has added another feather to an already illustrious cap as he completed 10000 runs in T20 cricket during the match against Punjab Kings at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. The Indian skipper became the seventh batter overall and second Indian after Virat Kohli to reach the milestone. Needing 25 runs prior to this match, Rohit (10003) achieved the feat in style as he clobbered paceman Kagiso Rabada for a six to cross the 10000-run mark. West Indian legend Chris Gayle is sitting right at the top with 14562 runs to his name followed by Shoaib Malik (11698), Kieron Pollard (11484), Aaron Finch (10499), Virat Kohli (10379) and David Warner (10373).
Australia's top cricket body appointed Andrew McDonald as national coach on Wednesday, two months after the shock departure of Justin Langer.
Andrew McDonald as national coach on Wednesday, two months after the shock departure of Justin Langer. McDonald, 40, secured a four-year contract in the top position after winning praise for his performance as interim coach since Langer's abrupt resignation on February 5 shook the cricket world. He is taking on one of the highest-profile jobs in Australia, where cricket is an essential part of the country's identity and the team's exploits grip much of the nation. "I am honoured to be given this incredible opportunity for what is an exciting period ahead," McDonald said after being confirmed in the job by Cricket Australia.

Aaron Finch's latest Indian Premier League (IPL) expedition is with Kolkata Knight Riders and when the franchise held a Q&A session for him on Twitter, it was no surprise that food was one of the topics he was asked about. "Eilish Maach", or Hilsa, is a favourite among Bengalis, and former England cricketer and commentator Isa Guha was quick to ask the Australian limited-overs captain whether he had tried it. Guha herself is of Bengali descent, with her parents having moved from Kolkata to the UK.
The Australian team ended its historic tour of Pakistan on a high by winning the one-off T20 encounter three wickets as Aaron Finch's side chased down the target of 163 runs with 5 balls to spare. Pakistan were put into bat by the Australians and it was the familiar pair of Mohammad Rizwan and captain Babar Azam that gave the hosts a rollicking start as they hit a flurry of boundaries in the powerplay.
