Amid the buzz over Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni's retirement from the Indian Premier League, CSK's batting coach Mike Hussey has shed some light ahead of their clash against the Delhi Capitals on Saturday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. In the pre-match conference, Hussey said that the only person who knows about Dhoni's retirement from IPL is MS himself.
Former South Africa pacer Morne Morkel feels uncapped India left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan is a gem of a bowler and said the 24-year-old is one for the "future and should be looked after well". The UP pacer continued from where he left last season, despite being out of action for 12 months with a serious injury that could have forced him to amputate his bowling arm if he was late for treatment. "For him, moving forward in his career is a big step," Morkel said on the eve of Lucknow Super Giants' concluding league match of the season against Kolkata Knight Riders here.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels Rajasthan Royals opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is ready to represent India, especially in T20Is. Jaiswal is enjoying a breakthrough season in the Indian Premier League (IPL), and scored his maiden century in the tournament earlier this month. The 21-year-old is currently the third-highest run-scorer in the season, only behind Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis (702) and Gujarat Titans' star opener Shubman Gill (576). Gavaskar suggested that Jaiswal is a technically sound batter and deserves a chance in the Indian team.
Virat Kohli on Thursday slammed a record-equalling sixth century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to power Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to a win in their do-or-die game against SunRisere Hyderabad. Kohli, who last scored a century in IPL in 2019, slammed 100 off just 63 balls, smashing 12 fours and four sixes, as RCB chased down 187 with four balls and eight wickets to spare. Needing a win to stay alive in the playoffs race, Kohli and Faf du Plessis (71 off 47) added 172 runs for the biggest opening partnership in IPL 2023.
Rajasthan Royals suffered a bitter blow for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match against Punjab Kings, with marquee all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin missing out. At the time of toss, RR skipper Sanju Samson explained the reason behind the absence of Ashwin, who has been a consistent performer for the franchise this season. The Royals find themselves in a tricky situation in the playoffs race. Even if the 2008 champions or PBKS manage to clinch two points at the end of the night, a playoff spot would still remain out of their reach. Their qualification will depend on the results of the other teams. But a victory will keep their hopes of making it into the IPL playoffs alive.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan will be part of the BBC's cricket coverage for the Ashes series and England's one-off test match against Ireland in June, the broadcaster said on Friday.
Australia legend Ricky Ponting believes that star Indian batter Virat Kohli's wicket would be the most prized for Australia in the upcoming ICC World Test Championship 2023 Final as the former Indian skipper is 'back to his absolute best'. Ponting is set to head back home following Delhi Capitals' final game of IPL 2023 against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday. Still, he said he "can't wait" to get to London shortly after that in his capacity as a commentator for the WTC23 Final.
Australian legend Ricky Ponting feels the International Cricket Council has a role to play in ensuring that players from smaller Test playing nations are paid well for their services in the five-day format. Ponting gave the example of West Indies cricketers who tend to choose franchise cricket over international duty for financial reasons. In an event organised by the ICC ahead of the World Test Championship final between India and Australia at the Oval from June 7, Ponting was asked about youngsters wanting to play the five-day game in an era of T20 leagues.
