NEW DELHI : Harry Brook continues to struggle in his debut Indian Premier League (IPL) season with the Sunrisers Hyderabad batter, who came with a $1.62 million price tag, fluffing another opportunity against Punjab Kings on Sunday.
Rinku Singh, a young 25-year-old batter, played an unbeaten knock of 48(21)* against Gujarat Titans and gave Kolkata Knight Riders fans something to remember forever. KKR chased down a target of 205 against the defending champions Gujarat Titans and Rinku Singh was at the heart of that massive chase. Last year Rinku found himself in a similar situation against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2022. He paved the way for KKR's victory but failed to finish the job. However, this time he ensured that his team won.
Ajinkya Rahane, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Ravindra Jadeja were the biggest stars for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they secured a comprehensive 7-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in 'El Clasico' of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday. While it's the players who drew the plaudits for their heroics on the field, the captain MS Dhoni silently strategised the downfall of the 5-time champions. Lauding the way Dhoni used his bowlers, crafting the perfect strategy against MI's batters, former India head coach Ravi Shastri lauded the CSK skipper.
Led by Nitish Rana, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pulled off one of the most unlikely victories in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday. Needing 28 runs from the last 5 deliveries of the match, KKR saw Rinku Singh smoke 5 consecutive sixes to win the game for his side in a historic manner. Rinku's knock sent shockwaves all across the cricketing fraternity and KKR's full-time captain Shreyas Iyer, who isn't a part of the squad for this season owing to an injury, couldn't help but make a video call to Rinku.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) isn't the most popular T20 league in the world just for its glamour, player duels, packed stadiums, and cricketing richness but also for the fact that it provides a level-pegging platform to everyone, regardless of their background. The story of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh is one of the brightest examples of how IPL can lift someone from the extremes of poverty to superstardom. While the IPL 2022 season showed a glimpse of what Rinku can do with the bat, the 2023 season has given the world a true example of what he is potentially capable of.
A disappointed Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan blamed the batting unit for failing to mold their game according to the conditions as they lost by eight wickets to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL here on Sunday. Dhawan slammed a 66-ball 99 not out to carry the Punjab team on his shoulders as the other batters cut a sorry figure after being asked to take the first strike. "As a batting unit, we lost too many wickets back to back and couldn't put up a big total on the ground and because of that, we lost the game. 175-180 would have been a reasonable score. The wicket looked quite good but it was seaming and swinging," Dhawan said at the post-match presentation.
Uncapped Indian batter Rinku Singh blasted five consecutive sixes in the final over as Kolkata Knight Riders chased down 205 to stun champions Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2023 thriller on Sunday. With KKR needing 29 off the final over, Rinku swung the game in KKR's favour with his five sixes off Yash Dayal's bowling. Rinku remained unbeaten at 48 off just 21 balls as KKR won the match by three wickets in the end. After being hit for five consecutive sixes, a photo of Dayal's reaction has been doing rounds on social media.
Producing one of his finest performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history, Ajinkya Rahane slammed the fastest half-century of the 2023 season, reaching the milestone in just 19 balls on his debut for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Rahane's knock came against his former side Mumbai Indians at his 'home' ground, Wankhede. In the process, the veteran batter went on to register a historic milestone, going past franchise skipper MS Dhoni in an elite list.
