The squads for the Hundred were burped out on Tuesday, two days from the start of the County Championship season. There was a smattering of stardust through Australia’s World Cup-winning women, the odd glaring omission such as David Warner, and a remarkable elevation for county pros such as Liam Dawson, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Laurie Evans with top-tier deals worth £125,000 apiece.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) faced off against table-toppers Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 13 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Tuesday. After electing to bowl, RCB did well to put the brakes on RR's innings before a late flourish from Jos Buttler took them to a total of 169 for three in 20 overs. In reply, RCB got off to a good start with skipper Faf du Plessis and Anuj Rawat but fell off track during the middle, losing quick wickets.
It was in 2006 that a young Dinesh Karthik won 'Player of the Match' award for his cheeky 30-odd in India's first ever T20 International. Sixteen years hence, Karthik, nearing 37, with 330 shortest format matches under his belt, is showing signs of being another eternal comeback man of Indian cricket, trying to do justice to the phenomenal talent that he is blessed with.
Delhi Capitals' assistant coach Shane Watson on Wednesday confirmed that Australia opener David Warner and tearaway South Africa pacer Anrich Nortje are available for their clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the DY Patil Stadium on Thursday. The news comes in as a big boost for Delhi, who are seeking to bounce back from the 14-run loss to Gujarat Titans at Pune on Saturday. "David Warner is definitely out of quarantine period now and is available for tomorrow night's game, which is very exciting. Anrich Nortje has been doing incredibly well over the last couple of weeks since he's arrived here in India. Last night, he passed his last sort of fitness test to get through and be passed fit for selection," said Watson in the pre-match virtual press conference.

Umran Malik a lot as we talk about Jasprit Bumrah. He is a serious, serious talent," said former India opener Gautam Gambhir to ESPNCricinfo last year when the Jammu and Kashmir pacer clocked a 152.95kph delivery in his debut IPL season. Along with Gambhir, many other legends of the game and pundits were also mighty impressed with what Umran gave a glimpse of last year in the 3 matches he played in T20 cricket's biggest league. Watching Umran bowl five consecutive deliveries at more than 150 clicks last season in a match against Royal Challengers Bangalore was something fans in India still talk about. After all, it's not a very common sight. And when that happened, it gave the entire nation something unique and special to cheer about. Cut to April 2022, Umran once again is the buzz of the town. Just a couple of games in IPL 2022 so far and the 22-year-old has taken the cricketing world by storm again. The searing pace with which Umran has been bowling is increasingly becoming too hot to handle for the batters.
Mumbai Indians are a beleaguered outfit right now, with two straight losses in their first two matches of the season. Mumbai traditionally of course are slow starters, but they will be itching to start the trend of turning things around sooner rather than later. Rohit Sharma and his men take on a buoyant Kolkata Knight Riders in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune this evening. The five-time IPL champions lost their first match against Delhi Capitals by four wickets and then against a resurgent Rajasthan Royals by 23 runs.
