"KL Rahul Or...": Sunil Gavaskar Has A Big Question On India's XI In WTC Final Against Australia

India's legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar feels that it will be a battle between KL Rahul and KS Bharat for the slot of wicketkeeper in the team for the World Test Championship final against Australia. It is worth noting that India's regular wicketkeeper in Test cricket, Rishabh Pant, is out of action since a horrific car crash he met with in December last year. In the southpaw's absence during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in February-March, it was Bharat who kept wickets for India while Rahul was dropped following his poor returns in the first two Tests of the four-match series.

Gujarat Titans picked up an emphatic 55-run win in an IPL 2023 match against Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. The Titans batted first and piled up a total of 207 runs, courtesy a brilliant half-century by Shubman Gill (56, 34b, 7x4s, 1x6s) and important contributions by David Miller (46, 22b, 2x4, 4x6) and Abhinav Manohar (42, 21b, 3x4s, 3x6s). Mumbai couldn't match that firepower with their highest scorer being Nehal Wadhera with 40 runs (21b, 3x4, 3x6).

IPL 2023: "Is DRS Timer A Joke?" - Twitter Blasts Umpire After Wriddhiman Saha's Late Review

Gujarat Titans defeated Mumbai Indians comprehensively in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter in Ahmedabad on Tuesday but the match was not without its fair share of controversies. During the third over of the match, Wriddhiman Saha gloved the ball to Ishan Kishan off the bowling of Arjun Tendulkar and the umpire wasted little time in raising his finger. Saha was not convinced and after a long discussion with Shubman Gill, he signaled for the review. However, the DRS timer was completed but the umpire decided to go with the batsman's request and asked for the review.

Mumbai Indians (MI)'s decision to release star all-rounder ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction didn't go exactly as planned as the five-time champions finished at the foot of the points table last season. However, for Hardik, it turned out to be a blessing as he was drafted and named captain by one of the two new franchises -- Gujarat Titans. Hardik repaid the trust shown by the management, leading the franchise to the IPL title in their maiden season.

Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are two rising stars in Indian cricket. Both are top-order batters and have left a big impact in the Indian cricket team. While Gill is one of the few cricketers to have scored a century in all three formats, Kishan is only the fourth Indian to hit a double century in ODIs. The two are good friends too and are roommates on India's tours. Gill recently said Kishan can be mischievous. "Ishan always spoils my pre-match routine, he does not let me sleep. He uses his iPad without the airpods and watches movies at full volume. Then I swear at him to lower the volume or to put on the airpods. So, he tells me that I am the one who is sleeping in his room, so the rules are his. We fight everyday, this is my pre-match routine," he said in an interview on bcci.tv.

"Keyboard Warriors...": Australia Great Shuts Down Arjun Tendulkar's Critics In IPL 2023

Arjun Tendulkar has seen both ends of the spectrum in his short IPL career so far. After taking a wicket in the last over against SunRisers Hyderabad in an IPL 2023 match, Arjun conceded 48 runs in three overs against Punjab Kings. In that match he also conceded 31 runs in one over, which is the second-most costliest over by a MI bowler. Against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday, Arjun, son of Sachin Tendulkar, began on a promising note and conceded four runs in the opening over after his skipper Rohit Sharma opted to bowl first on winning the toss.

GT vs MI, IPL 2023: Shubman Gill, Noor Ahmad Star In Gujarat Titans' 55-Run Win Over Mumbai Indians

Gujarat Titans produced a clinical performance to outclass Mumbai Indians by 55 runs in a completely one-sided IPL match on Tuesday. Set a stiff target of 208, MI were stopped at 152 for nine. MI didn't get the kind of start they would have liked and were struggling at 29 for the loss of captain Rohit Sharma's wicket in six overs, the team failing miserably to utilise the powerplay. While trying to work the ball on the onside, Rohit got a leading edge and ended up giving a return catch to his opposite number, Hardik Pandya, in the second over.
