Mumbai Indians' bowling coach Shane Bond has said he will be working on increasing the pace of Arjun Tendulkar, whose speeds currently hover around 130 kph. Four days after being smashed for 48 runs, including 31 in one over against Punjab Kings, Tendulkar junior made a fine comeback against Gujarat Titans and ended the game with figures of 1/9 in two overs on Tuesday.
Mumbai Indians (MI)'s decision to release star all-rounder ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction didn't go exactly as planned as the five-time champions finished at the foot of the points table last season. However, for Hardik, it turned out to be a blessing as he was drafted and named captain by one of the two new franchises -- Gujarat Titans. Hardik repaid the trust shown by the management, leading the franchise to the IPL title in their maiden season.
Axar Patel turned out to be the star as his all-round show helped Delhi Capitals clinch a seven-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in a low-scoring thriller on Monday. DC posted a total of 144/9 in 20 overs after opting to bat first. Later, SRH were restricted to 137/6 as Axar and Anrich Nortje claimed two wickets each. Apart from shining with the ball. Axar also smashed 34 runs and helped his side reach a defendable total. Not just in IPL but Axar is also prominent member of the Indian team across all the formats.
Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are two rising stars in Indian cricket. Both are top-order batters and have left a big impact in the Indian cricket team. While Gill is one of the few cricketers to have scored a century in all three formats, Kishan is only the fourth Indian to hit a double century in ODIs. The two are good friends too and are roommates on India's tours. Gill recently said Kishan can be mischievous. "Ishan always spoils my pre-match routine, he does not let me sleep. He uses his iPad without the airpods and watches movies at full volume. Then I swear at him to lower the volume or to put on the airpods. So, he tells me that I am the one who is sleeping in his room, so the rules are his. We fight everyday, this is my pre-match routine," he said in an interview on bcci.tv.
MS Dhoni is widely known as 'captain cool' for his calm and composed demeanour even in the toughest of situations. Be it any phase of the match, the player rarely gives his opponents or even his teammates any idea of what is going inside him, and a no-expression face does the trick for the legendary captain. However, it is not the case always. Even the 'captain cool' gets angry at times, and given it is a rare event, the instance always goes viral.
Arjun Tendulkar has seen both ends of the spectrum in his short IPL career so far. After taking a wicket in the last over against SunRisers Hyderabad in an IPL 2023 match, Arjun conceded 48 runs in three overs against Punjab Kings. In that match he also conceded 31 runs in one over, which is the second-most costliest over by a MI bowler. Against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday, Arjun, son of Sachin Tendulkar, began on a promising note and conceded four runs in the opening over after his skipper Rohit Sharma opted to bowl first on winning the toss.
India on Tuesday announced the squad for World Test Championship final against Australia that is slated to kick off on June 7 at the Oval, London. The highlights of the selection were the inclusion of Ajinkya Rahane into the team and the exclusion of Suryakumar Yadav from the 15-member squad. From the Indian squad that featured against Australia in the 3rd and 4th Test, Kuldeep Yadav and Ishan Kishan were also also among the notable absentees. Shreyas Iyer couldn't be a part of the team owing to an injury.
Gujarat Titans produced a clinical performance to outclass Mumbai Indians by 55 runs in a completely one-sided IPL match on Tuesday. Set a stiff target of 208, MI were stopped at 152 for nine. MI didn't get the kind of start they would have liked and were struggling at 29 for the loss of captain Rohit Sharma's wicket in six overs, the team failing miserably to utilise the powerplay. While trying to work the ball on the onside, Rohit got a leading edge and ended up giving a return catch to his opposite number, Hardik Pandya, in the second over.
