LONDON : England test captain Ben Stokes will skip the Twenty20 series against India but will return for the one-day internationals, England's cricket board (ECB) said on Friday.
It was one thriller of a match, which could have gone either ways. In a T20 Blast match on Tuesday, the Tom Abel-led Somerset team scored 144/8 in 20 over batting first against Surrey. Chasing the 145-run target, the Chris Jordan-led team cruised towards the target until they needed nine of the final over. Experienced Australian fast bowler Peter Siddle was given the all-important over with Surrey on 136/4 and then some bizarre incidents happened.
Jason Roy and Chris Jordan reminded the England selectors of their white-ball talents as Surrey strengthened their position as Vitality Blast South Group leaders with a 20-run win over London rivals Middlesex.
Vitality Blast champions Kent Spitfires fell to their fifth defeat in five group matches, losing by 32 runs to Surrey at Canterbury on Friday night.
Barbados-born pace bowler Che Simmons has been tipped as a potential England international after winning a first professional contract with Warwickshire.
IPL 2022, Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans, Live Score Updates: Gujarat Titans would look to maintain their winning run when they take the field against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday afternoon at the Wankhede Stadium. Gujarat have already qualified for the playoffs and they would hope to finish within top two to enhance their chances of making it to the finals. Talking about CSK, the MS Dhoni-led side are at the ninth spot in the points table and they would look to end their season on a high. A day before the match, Ambati Rayudu had announced that the ongoing season would be last IPL, but he later deleted the tweet. It will be interesting to see how Rayudu performs in the match against Gujarat. (LIVE SCORECARD)
A day before their match against SunRisers Hyderabad, MS Dhoni was reinstated as captain, as Ravindra Jadeja relinquished the leadership role. The change in captaincy could see some changes in the playing XI too. After a defeat vs Punjab Kings, CSK could make changes in their final XI and bring back Chris Jordan in place of Dwaine Pretorius. Pretorius went for plenty in their last game and hasn't been as influential as CSK would have wanted him to be. The all-round abilities of Jordan could help him make a comeback in the playing XI and guide CSK to winning ways. CSK are currently ninth with two wins from 8 games while SRH are placed fourth with five wins from 8 games.
Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar lauded Gujarat Titans player David Miller and called him a "dangerous batter". David Miller's unbeaten half-century and Rashid Khan's quick knock helped Gujarat Titans in defeating Chennai Super Kings by 3 wickets in their IPL 2022 match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on last Sunday. David Miller's sensational knock of 94* was well accompanied by stand-in captain Rashid Khan's quick innings of 21-ball 40 as Gujarat chased the target 0f 170 with a ball to spare.
