'Teams Are Scared To Bowl Spin Against Him': CSK Bowling Coach's Massive Praise For Shivam Dube

Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Shivam Dube has the ability to control matches and teams are "scared" to bowl spin against him, said bowling coach Eric Simmons after the left-handed batter hit 38-ball 66 not out in CSK's 20-run win over Mumbai Indians in their IPL match in Mumbai. MI used as many as seven bowling options but did not continue with their spinners after the eighth over. Dube faced just one ball from a spinner, that of Shreyas Gopal.

"I'm Sick, Tired And Fed Up": Kieron Pollard's Fiery Rant Amid Hardik Pandya's Criticism

Mumbai Indians coach Kieron Pollard was once again made to defend the franchise's skipper Hardik Pandya in the post-match press conference. MI suffered yet another defeat this season as Chennai Super Kings rode on MS Dhoni's late blitz and Matheesha Pathirana's clinical bowling to secure a 20-run win on Sunday. Hardik, who returned to bowling in the match, conceded 43 runs in 3 overs while scoring just 2 runs of 6 balls with the bat. His captaincy in the game also left much to be desired, drawing fans and pundits' ire. But, Pollard continues to defence 'hard working and confident' guy, Hardik. (IPL 2024 Points Table)

It isn't the same Hardik Pandya that left Mumbai Indians two seasons ago or the same person who led Gujarat Titans to two consecutive finals in the Indian Premier League.
