Cricket great Brian Lara has been appointed head coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad for the next Indian Premier League season, the team said Saturday.
SunRisers Hyderabad on Saturday confirmed the appointment of Brian Lara as their new head coach for the upcoming seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The franchise has parted ways with Tom Moody, who was the head coach of the side in the last edition of the tournament, where they finished eighth in the points table.
Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) revealed the name of their Cricket South Africa (CSA) T20 League franchise as 'Sunrisers Eastern Cape'. The franchise has joined four other IPL franchise owners that own a team in the CSA T20 League. These teams are - MI Cape Town (owned by owners of Mumbai Indians), Johannesburg Super Kings (owned by owners of Chennai Super Kings), Paarl Royals (owned by owners of Rajasthan Royals) and Pretoria Capitals (owned by owners of Delhi Capitals).
Former Australia pacer Glenn McGrath was all praise for India fast bowler Umran Malik, saying that sheer pace is unique and that cannot be taught to any bowler in the world. Umran impressed everyone with his pace during the Indian Premier League 2022, clocking over 150 kph regularly. As a result, the Jammu and Kashmir pacer recently made his debut for India during the T20I series against Ireland. While several experts have suggested that Umran should focus more on line and length instead of pace. However, McGrath said that he hates seeing fast bowlers sacrificing pace to attain control.
Former South Africa paceman Dale Steyn was known to blow batters away with his pace and swing in his heydays in international cricket. Steyn, who is currently part of IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad's coaching staff, is now leaving his fans awestruck with his skateboarding skills.
Pace sensation Umran Malik has been handed his maiden India cap ahead of the first T20 International against Ireland in Malahide on Sunday. 22-year-old Malik received his debut cap from his SunRisers Hyderabad teammate Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The BCCI shared photos of Malik receiving his cap. "A dream come true moment!!Congratulations to Umran Malik who is all set to make his T20I debut for #TeamIndia," the BCCI captioned the post.
Despite several youngsters being picked in the squad for the T20I series against South Africa, the Indian cricket team management went with an unchanged XI for the second T20I in Cuttack on Sunday, after going down in the first T20I. Their fortune also remained the same as India slumped to a loss yet again to trail 0-2 in the five-match series. After the defeat, former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar gave his take on the changes that India might bring in starting from third T20I. Youngsters like Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik and Gavaskar had an interesting take on the latter.
Lockie Ferguson, the express paceman from New Zealand, ensured that he would remember IPL 2022 for one reason or the other as he bowled the fastest delivery of the season in the final against Rajasthan Royals. The Gujarat Titans paceman steamed in and bowled the last delivery of the fifth over at a pace of 157.3 kmph, which broke the mark earlier set by SunRisers Hyderabad paceman Umran Malik.
