NEW DELHI : Ravichandran Ashwin became the first player to be 'retired out' during an Indian Premier league (IPL) on Sunday, making way for a more attacking batter to accelerate the scoring, and pundits predict more teams will adopt the tactic.
Bill Belichick turns 70 on Saturday, with no end in sight to his transcendent coaching tenure in New England. It’s so hard today to figure out how big a deal that is, because modern life has changed what age means.
Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing IPL 2022, Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul said 'one bad game won't change things' and they will only learn from it. Shimron Hetmyer's unbeaten 59 and a four-wicket haul from Yuzvendra Chahal helped Rajasthan Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants by three runs here at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. "I didn't see it (the ball that got him from Boult), if I did I could have done something about it. Have to give it to him. Was a good ball. We have a good team, and have enough options with bat and ball. Even when we were 20-odd for three, we knew we had a chance. Obviously, today we needed one good partnership which we never got going," said Rahul in a post-match presentation. LSG skipper praised Marcus Stoinis for his excellent innings and said his first game of the season will give him the confidence to do better in the next match. Stoinis smashed 38 not out in just 17 runs.
Yuzvendra Chahal's four-wicket haul helped Rajasthan Royals defend the 166-run target against Lucknow Super Giants to register a three-run win at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson praised Chahal for his performance of 4/41. "He is someone who can be given the ball from over 1 or over 20.
Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson said the decision to withdraw Ravichandran Ashwin 'retired out' in the slog overs was a call made by the team management, taking into consideration the match situation. RR became the first team in IPL history to employ the 'retired out' tactic as Ashwin went back to the dug out despite being 28 not out during their match against Lucknow Super Giants here on Sunday. Ashwin (28 off 23 balls) played a crucial role in rebuilding the RR innings along with Shimron Hetmyer (59 not out off 36 balls) as the duo shared a 68-run stand for the fifth wicket before the off-spinner retiring out with just two overs to go for the innings.
Indian Premier League (IPL) season so far. The big guns are yet to register a point. New entrants are setting the early pace. But all concerned know that it’s a very long tournament and the ability to sustain momentum is what matters at the business end of the competition. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) would’ve heaved a huge sigh of relief after their convincing eight-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday; and with the monkey of the first win off their back, they would now aim to be consistent like pace-setters Gujarat Titans (GT), whom they play at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Monday. After a poor start against Rajasthan Royals, the Sunrisers attack pulled things back against Lucknow Super Giants, especially Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Washington Sundar and T Natarajan, only to see their batsmen fall short by 12 runs; and the SRH camp would be happy with the gradual improvement that led to a collective performance against CSK.
It was a debut appearance for 15-year-old Lilian Ude, who wore the country’s colours for the senior women’s cricket team at the just-concluded Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) Women’s T20 Invitational in Lagos.
Delhi Capitals' (DC) openers that literally ended the Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) challenge at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Prithvi Shaw and David Warner made a mockery of the strong KKR bowling unit after Shreyas Iyer won the toss and put the rivals in to bat. For the first time this season, KKR failed to get early breakthroughs as the Shaw-Warner duo stitched together a 93-run opening-wicket stand. Although KKR did pull things back a bit in the middle overs, Shardul Thakur (29* off 11 balls) and Axar Patel (22* off 14 balls) added 49 runs off just 3.2 overs in the end to help DC put up 215 for 5, the highest total in this IPL so far.
