Pakistan made it two wins from two World Cup matches as batsmen Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique hit centuries in a record run-chase to set up a six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
After losing to Delhi Capitals by 20 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2024, Kumar Sangakkara, the director of cricket at Rajasthan Royals, believes his team should have won the match despite the dramatic dismissal of captain Sanju Samson. Samson slammed a scintillating 46-ball 86, where he was timing all of his eight fours and six sixes like a dream. His fine knock came to an end on the fourth ball of the 16th over in dramatic circumstances when Shai Hope took a screamer of a catch at long-on, balancing himself just millimetres before the boundary ropes off Mukesh Kumar.
Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has made his case to become India's first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman at the Twenty20 World Cup in June, said Kumar Sangakkara, the coach of his Indian Premier League (IPL) team.
The SunRisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals IPL 2024 match was witness to a controversial moment as the former's batter Travis Head got a reprieve to a stumping decision. It happened in the 15th over as with Avesh Khan bowling to Head. Against a full delivery outside off, Head shuffled across and chased the ball. He lost balance in the process. Samson threw the ball in the stumps' direction. Replays showed that it was ambiguous, though the TV umpire Rohan Pandit gave it not out. RR Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara could be seen engaged in an animated discussion after the decision was given.
Former Sri Lanka cricketer and Rajasthan Royals (RR) Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara hailed India's 15-member side for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 and called it an "extremely strong" squad. India will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 05, 2024, at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York, followed by the marquee clash against Pakistan on June 09, 2024 at the same venue. India will then play the USA and Canada on June 12 and 15 respectively.
As the selection for T20 World Cup 2024 nears, the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal, a regular for India in both white-ball and red-ball cricket, has become a big concern. Jaiswal, who was among the top-scoring batters in the IPL last season, has barely gotten runs this term. The left-handed opening batter was also being seen among the top contenders for the opening spot in the Indian team at the T20 World Cup but that might no longer be the case. Amid this situation, India captain Rohit Sharma has been advised to pick up the phone and give a pep-talk to Jaiswal.
NEW DELHI : Jos Buttler was a much relieved man on Saturday after the Rajasthan Royals opener roared back into form with a scintillating hundred to fashion his team's fourth consecutive victory in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).
Ahead of his side's Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Delhi Capitals (DC), Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara said that all-rounder Riyan Parag will get an extended run at number four, pointing out how he is more mature and hungry following the rise of teammates Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel to nationwide fame with Team India. Riyan started his IPL 2024 campaign with a 29-ball 43 (with a four and three sixes) against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in his side's campaign opener.
India captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill struck sublime hundreds as India pressed the advantage in the fifth Test against England by reaching 264 for one at lunch on Day 2. Rohit (102 batting off 160 balls) and Gill (101 batting off 142 balls) walked out in the middle in bright sunshine and milked the conditions to take India well past England's first innings total of 218 after resuming the innings at 135 for one. En route to their brilliant partnership, Rohit went on to equal Sachin Tendulkar's record of scoring the most number of centuries in international cricket after turning 30, for an Indian.
