BENGALURU : India's cricket board (BCCI) said on Tuesday its kit sponsorship deal with Adidas would run until March 2028 and that players would wear the new apparel for the first time when they face Australia in the World Test Championship final next month.
Despite having a shaky start to their campaign, Mumbai Indians made it to the Playoffs of IPL 2023 on Sunday. The five-time champions defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets in a high-scoring match at Wankhede, where Cameron Green brought up his maiden IPL century. Later in the day, Gujarat Titans defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore, which paved the way for MI into the Playoffs. Shubman Gill turned out to be the star for GT as his blistering ton put Virat Kohli's hundred in vain.
Darren Stevens could be set to pull on an England shirt for the first time - with his inclusion having started something of a recruitment drive for the side.
Former Indian head coach and cricketer Ravi Shastri revealed his combined Indian Test XI selecting players from the two ICC World Test Championship finalists, India and Australia. The WTC final is now a fortnight away. In the recent episode of the ICC Review, Shastri admitted that he found the task of building a combined playing XI difficult due to the sheer amount of world-class talent available on both sides. But the India great stuck his neck out and settled on a final XI, in which surprisingly only four Indian players could make the cut.
Gujarat Titans' batting mainstay Shubman Gill feels that his recent success in international and franchise cricket is primarily due to a thorough understanding of his own game and knowing the player that he is. The Gujarat Titans opener's 52-ball-104, studded with eight sixes knocked Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore out of the IPL as the table toppers successfully chased down 198 in just 19.1 overs here on Sunday.
The IPL 2023 will surely be remembered for the rivalry between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. After engaging into an on-field spat during their league-stage match, earlier this month, there's been plenty of social media activity to keep the fire burning. This rivalry does not seem to be stopping anytime soon, especially after Naveen-ul-Haq's Instagram activity. But, it isn't just the LSG pacer but also his franchise whose tweet has gotten Kohli and RCB's fans talking. The Faf du Plessis-led team was handed a six-wicket defeat by Gujarat Titans that also saw them failing to make their place in the Eliminator match against LSG.
Virat Kohli once again showed his batting prowess when he slammed his eighth IPL century on Sunday during Royal Challengers Bangalore's last league stage match against Gujarat Titans. However, his ton went in vain as young batter Shubman Gill also struck his second consecutive IPL hundred and took GT across the line with six wickets in hand. With this loss, RCB bowed out of the tournament and paved way for the Mumbai Indians into the Playoffs. For Kohli, it was yet another heartbreak as he failed to take RCB to the coveted title.
The 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) saw its league campaign coming to an end, with Mumbai Indians becoming the last team to qualify. MI have to thank Gujarat Titans for lending a helping hand, with a victory for the defending champions against Royal Challengers Bangalore providing MI the required push. Over the course of the campaign, a number of players stepped up and grabbed the opportunitities given to them with both hands. Before the IPL 2023 playoffs start, we take a look at the Best XI of the league campaign.
