RCB vs SRH Game Was One Of Sixes, Not Of Batsmanship: Aaron Finch

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru unleashing a barrage of sixes in their IPL match left little room for batsmanship and what mattered was who hit the most number of sixes, said Australia's T20 World Cup-winning skipper Aaron Finch. Travis Head's maiden T20 ton and Heinrich Klaasen's pillaging 67 drove SRH to a record-breaking 287 for three, which helped them go past their own 277/3 against Mumbai Indians at Hyderabad this March 27.

"Never Seen A Commentator Bat So Well": Kevin Pietersen's Scintillating Remark On Dinesh Karthik

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) suffered their 6th defeat in 7 matches as they came up against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), a team that is on a juggernaut run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Chasing the target of 288, the highest in IPL history, RCB got off to a fine start, with Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis going all guns blazing. But, their dismissal, followed by a middle-order collapse put the Sunrisers in control before Dinesh Karthik produced a never-seen-before blitz. The veteran wicket-keeper batter scored 35-ball 83 to keep RCB's hopes alive. Though he couldn't take the team home, Karthik's effort won the hearts of many on social media.

Cost Of Hat-trick Of Sixes? MS Dhoni's Video After MI vs CSK Match Worries Fans

MS Dhoni left both fans and experts completely spellbound as the Chennai Super Kings batter slammed Hardik Pandya for three back-to-back sixes during the IPL 2024 match against Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai was witness to a trademark Dhoni knock that saw the veteran wicket-keeper batter score 20 runs in just 4 balls at an astonishing strike rate of 500. At 42 years old, Dhoni has vastly limited himself to a finisher's role for his franchise and his knock was instrumental in taking the total beyond the 200-run mark. However, it looked like the knock came at some cost as Dhoni was seen limping with padding around his knee in a video posted on social media.

Court Extends Police Custody Of Hardik Pandya's Step Brother In Cheating Case

A court on Tuesday extended till April 19 the police custody of cricketer siblings Hardik and Krunal Pandya's stepbrother Vaibhav, who is accused of cheating them of Rs 4 crore through a joint business venture.

Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) requested the court to extend Vaibhav's custody for further investigation. As Vaibhav's lawyer Niranjan Mundargi didn't oppose the EOW plea, the court extended his custody till Friday. Vaibhav, 37, was arrested on April 8 on the charges of criminal breach of trust, criminal intimidation, criminal conspiracy, forgery and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly cheating the cricketer brothers to the tune of more than Rs 4 crore.
