MS Dhoni on Thursday night did what he does best, which is to successfully guide his team to victory in the last over. This time it was on the last delivery of the innings as he hit a crucial boundary to take Chennai Super Kings home against Mumbai Indians at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
Young SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik has impressed one and all with his speed and how he can dish out deliveries in the range of 150 kmph consistently. In their last Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 game against Punjab Kings, he returned with four wickets, including three wickets in the final over of the innings. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes that Umran is going to play for India and if he bowls wicket-to-wicket, then he is going to be unplayable.
KL Rahul scored an unbeaten century against Mumbai Indians on Saturday at Brabourne Stadium and this helped Lucknow Super Giants post 199/4 in the 20 overs. Avesh Khan then returned with three wickets and in the end, Lucknow registered their fourth win of the ongoing IPL 2022 season. Rahul had brought up his century in the 19th over of the innings and he then celebrated in his trademark "shutting the outside noise" style, covering his ears with his fingers.
Considered by many to be one of the greatest batters ever in cricket history, Sunil Gavaskar was on the receiving end of some special words from former teammate Ravi Shastri. Speaking on ESPNCricinfo, Shastri stated that any player would be willing to give their "right arm or a leg" just to bat with the 1983 World Cup winner. The former India head coach was initially asked with whom did he enjoy batting more; Kris Srikkanth or Sunil Gavaskar. Pausing for a second, Shastri instantly replied, "Gavaskar, I mean people will give their right arm or a leg just to be at the non-striker's end when that great man is at the other end."
Former India captain and batting legend Sunil Gavaskar is known for his astute analysis of the game and ability to call a spade a spade on commentary. Gavaskar is also known for his great sense of humour and that was on display during the IPL as he jokingly asked English commentator Alan Wilkins about the Kohinoor diamond during the match between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants.
Rahul Tewatia did the unthinkable on Friday as he smashed two sixes off the final two balls to help Gujarat Titans register a thrilling victory over the Punjab Kings in IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium. Gujarat needed 19 runs off the final over which was bowled by Odean Smith and the equation came down to 12 off 2 balls. However, Tewatia brought out his famous slog sweep and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar hailed Tewatia for showing great composure in a high-pressure situation.
Chennai Super Kings succumbed to their third straight defeat of IPL 2022, when they lost to Punjab Kings on Sunday by 54 runs. Chasing a big target of 181 runs to win the match, CSK had a terrible start to their innings and it was only a partnership between Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni that helped the team get past the 100-run mark as CSK were eventually bowled out for 126.
Former India player Rohan Gavaskar on Friday posted a throwback photo of him batting as a kid to shut down a troll, who had questioned his credentials. Rohan, son of Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, represented India in 11 ODIs. He had long and successful career in domestic cricket, playing over a hundred first-class matches and List A matches respectively. He current plies his trade as a cricket commentator and is part of the crew for the ongoing Indian Premier League. Recently, a social media troll tried to take a dig at Rohan by asking about his career.
