New England coach Brendon McCullum has reopened the door to Test cricket for Indian Premier League star Jos Buttler and is also eager to see if the likes of Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid want to be part of his red-ball revamp.
"I can't remember anyone batting this well in the history of the IPL."
The 40-year-old inherits an England team who sit bottom of the World Test Championship table following a rotten run of just one victory from 17 matches.
Gujarat Titans will take on Rajasthan Royals in the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Playing in front of their home crowd, GT will look to seal their first title in their very first season in the IPL. RR, on the other hand, will vow for their second IPL title, having won their only title back in the inaugural edition in 2008. Both teams met twice earlier this season -- league phase and Qualifier 1 -- and GT won both the games. RR, however, will back themselves to go all the way this time, having defeated RCB in a one-sided Qualifier 2.
Gujarat Titans' David Miller, who had a successful season in IPL 2022, said he has matured as a player and understands how to deal with failure. Miller has scored 449 runs in 15 innings at an average of 64.14 with a strike rate of 141.19 in this IPL season, bettering his own record of 446 runs when he played for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in 2014. He is eighth in the list of leading run-getters this season - second-most for Titans behind captain Hardik Pandya.
After Royal Challengers Bangalore's Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 journey ending with a defeat to Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2, star batter Virat Kohli took to social media on Saturday and penned an emotional note to everyone associated with the franchise. Kohli was dismissed for just seven runs during RCB's seven-wicket defeat to RR at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. The former RCB skipper thanked the "12th Man Army" and the management for their continuous support throughout the season, and said that they "make cricket special".
Virat Kohli can consider taking a break, freshen up his mind and work on a few things, feels former Australian speedster Brett Lee, a year after struggling to look beyond the Indian when it came to the best batter in recent years. Kohli's mediocre campaign in the IPL 15 ended after Royal Challengers Bangalore's seven-wicket defeat by Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier in Ahmedabad on Friday. "Do I say it is a concern, I do. I would like him (Kohli) to be scoring more runs of course," Lee told PTI on Saturday when asked about Kohli's prolonged lean patch.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Director of Cricket Operations Mike Hesson said on Friday that the most pleasing aspect of the side's game during the season was that they did not have to rely solely on their retained players. An explosive century by Jos Buttler sent Royal Challengers Bangalore out of the tournament and Rajasthan Royals to their first IPL finals since 2008 as they chased down the target of 158 set by RCB in 18.1 overs. For RCB, it was only Rajat Patidar who looked like the only real threat throughout the game with his 58-run knock.
