India unearthed a new fast-bowling star in Mayank Yadav (3/27) who stole the limelight with his searing pace amid the usual flurry of monstrous hits as Lucknow Super Giants humbled Punjab Kings by 21 runs in the IPL here on Saturday.
Virat Kohli batted out the innings for Royal Challengers Bengaluru with his second straight Indian Premier League half-century on Friday but Kolkata Knight Riders still cruised to a seven-wicket victory. Chasing the home side's 182-6, Kolkata reached their target with 19 balls to spare when skipper Shreyas Iyer hit an unruffled six off Mayank Dagar. Their chase was off to a roaring start with Phil Salt (30) and all-rounder Sunil Narine (47) putting on 86 for the visitors, earning fulsome praise from Bengaluru captain Faf du Plessis.
Claims suggesting Chennai Super Kings star Matheesha Pathirana touched former captain MS Dhoni's feet during the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Gujarat Titans went viral on social media. While initial suggestions did look to be true, another video has surfaced from the incident, highlighting what exactly had happened. A side angle to the entire episode confirmed that the Sri Lankan pacer didn't touch Dhoni's feet but instead bent down to pick up the bowling marker which was placed not too far from Thala's feet.
Ravindra Jadeja is well known for his witty one-liners and his joke on MS Dhoni during a recent event has gone viral on social media. The image of Dhoni lifting Jadeja after the all-rounder scored the winning runs in the IPL 2023 final against Gujarat Titans has become iconic among cricket fans. During the event, both Dhoni and Jadeja were asked to describe the moment and the all-rounder came up with a hilarious comment that left the crowd in splits. Jadeja said that it was a special moment before adding that he believes that he is only person after wife Sakshi Dhoni who was lifted by MS Dhoni.
Australian batter Steve Smith on Thursday showered praise on former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni saying there's no one in India who is better than the 42-year-old. Speaking on Star Sports, Smith said no one read a cricket match like MS Dhoni. The Aussie batter added that it was 'tremendous' to share field with the former India skipper. "There's no one better in India to have behind the stumps than MS Dhoni. The way he understands the game and the angles of the game is second to none. So look, he was a tremendous person to play with. I really enjoyed his company on and off the field," Smith said. Smith also called Dhoni a 'chilled' guy. The Aussie revealed that the 42-year-old helped him a lot with cricket.
Rachin Ravindra has been a brilliant addition to the Chennai Super Kings squad in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The New Zealand all-rounder was bought for Rs 1.8 crore by the defending champions ahead of the new season and with Devon Conway missing out on the initial part of the tournament due to injury, Ravindra was given the responsibility to open the batting. The left-hander played two brilliant knocks in their first two matches and the only blemish in his otherwise perfect run was a missed catch against Gujarat Titans. In a recent event, he was asked about his missed opportunity and whether he looked at MS Dhoni to check his reaction just after he dropped the catch.
Gujarat Titans' new era under the captaincy of young opener Shubman Gill had a bittersweet beginning in IPL 2024. The 2022 champions began this season by defeating their old skipper Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians by six runs. However, their IPL 2023 final rivals Chennai Super Kings edged past them by 63 runs on Tuesday at Chepauk. Chasing a whopping target of 207 against Ruturaj Gaikwad and co, GT managed to score only 143 runs and faced their biggest defeat in terms of runs.
Following his side's win over Gujarat Titans (GT) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach Michael Hussey lauded newly-appointed skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, saying that he is a very "smart, cricket-savy" guy who is doing a great job, especially in rotating the bowlers and placing fields. The fortress at Chepauk stood untouched as the Chennai Super Kings registered a comprehensive 63-run win over the Gujarat Titans on Monday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
