IPL) trophies, three Champions League T20 trophies, followers in excess of 50 million on social media platforms across Twitter and Instagram, mass following across the world's largest cricket fanbase that's India, a healthy global diaspora to look at and television numbers crashing through the roof every single time these teams have walked out on the field. Put all these numbers together and crunch. Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Supergiants have taken to South Africa - by way of buying franchises in the country's upcoming T20 league - a cricket jamboree like none other anywhere in the world.

"Sanju Samson Is Not Rishabh Pant": Former Pakistan Player Not Impressed With India Star

Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria was not impressed with India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson as he failed to make the most of the opportunity given to him by the team management in the first ODI against West Indies. Samson, who came to bat no. 5, scored 12 runs off 18 balls before he was dismissed LBW by Romario Shepherd. While analysing the match, Kaneria said that all-rounder Deepak Hooda should bat ahead of Samson, saying that the Rajasthan Royals captain isn't as good as star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant in that batting slot.

"When I Was Dropped": Yashasvi Jaiswal Opens Up On Time When Was Out Of Rajasthan Royals Playing XI

He is all of 20 but Yashasvi Jaiswal knows the art of making a strong comeback statement, like he did for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL last month and more recently in the Ranji Trophy knock-outs for Mumbai this month. Having scored a hundred in the quarterfinals and two tons in semifinals, Jaiswal was looking set for his fourth century before Madhya Pradesh seamer Anubhav Agarwal snapped him for 78 in the opening day of the Rani Trophy final on Wednesday.

Balance between thinking and execution vital: Rahul Tripathi

The city-based attacking batsman, who is a part of India team for the two T20s in Ireland scheduled later this month, told TOI: “At times you can be honest but still not positive. I also believe that one needs to have the right balance between thinking and execution. Just thinking without working on it or just working without thinking may not give the desired results.” Deccan Gymkhana lad Tripathi, now 31, didn’t take first-class cricket by storm when he made his debut for Maharashtra in 2012.

Hardik Pandya to lead India in Ireland as Rahul Tripathi gets maiden call-up; Sanju Samson makes comeback

Hardik Pandya was deservingly named skipper of the Indian team for the two-match T20 International series against Ireland in Dublin on June 26 and 28. The only new face in the side is Maharashtra right-hand batter Rahul Tripathi, who was rewarded for his stellar batting during this edition of IPL where he scored more than 400 runs for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

CSK Youngster Reveals How MS Dhoni Masterminded Two RR Batters' Dismissals In IPL 2022

Chennai Super Kings didn't have the best of outings in Indian Premier League 2022, finishing a lowly ninth. CSK won just four out of the 14 matches they played in IPL 2022, finishing with the same number of points (8) as bottom-placed Mumbai Indians, but a slightly better net run-rate. The Chennai franchise also had its problems in regards to captaincy. Just before the start of the tournament MS Dhoni gave up CSK's captaincy with Ravindra Jadeja taking over. But with CSK faring poorly in IPL 2022, Jadeja handed back the captaincy of the team to Dhoni mid-way. The merry-go-round surely didn't help the team, but with Dhoni back at the helm there was a momentary upsurge in the team's fortunes.

Shane Warne will go down in the history of cricket as one of the greatest bowlers ever seen. The wily leg-spinner had a knack of bowling unplayable deliveries which would catch the batters off-guard. Warne died this year in March after a suspected heart attack in Thailand but his legacy lives on. It was on this very day (June 4), 29 years ago, when Warne stamped his authority in the Ashes as he delivered a the "ball of the century" to get the better of England batter Mike Gatting during the first Test at Manchester.
