India could have declared after Sachin Tendulkar got his 200: Yuvraj Singh on Multan declaration
Yuvraj Singh feels that the side could have declared in the Multan Test against Pakistan after legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar had completed his double hundred. On March 29, 2004, during the second day of the Test, Virender Sehwag became the first Indian to score a triple-century in Test cricket with a blistering knock of 309. But what became a huge talking point was stand-in skipper and current India head coach Rahul Dravid opting to declare the first innings at 675/5 in 161.5 overs.
IPL 2022: We are playing some pretty good cricket, insists SRH coach Tom Moody
Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Tom Moody has insisted that his side is playing "pretty good cricket" in this Indian Premier League (IPL) season despite a 21-run loss at the hands of Delhi Capitals at the Brabourne Stadium on Thursday. The defeat also meant that Hyderabad's losing streak in the tournament has been extended to three and they are now at sixth place in the points table. "I would have been concerned if we had been playing poorly. We are playing some pretty good cricket. If it wasn't for a couple of things, it could have gone our way this evening and we would have chased down that total. Everyone saw how close we were when Nicky (Nicholas) Pooran was in the middle of his onslaught (62 off 34 balls)," said Moody during the post-match virtual press conference.
