Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson expressed disappointment after his side lost against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 clash on Tuesday. Brilliant display of batting by Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed helped Royal Challengers Bangalore in defeating Rajasthan Royals by four wickets, at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Tuesday.
When it comes to captaincy, former India skipper MS Dhoni is considered to be the sharpest brain on a cricket field. Having tasted a lot of success as captain in international as well as franchise cricket, Dhoni's reading of the game and tactical astuteness is second to none. Incidentally, young India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has recalled an on-field incident when he tried to read Dhoni's mind and failed. Ishan said that he tried to figure out a conversation between Dhoni and Imran Tahir, but ended up losing his wicket.
Since making his India debut in 2017 in a T20I match vs England, Rishabh Pant has been through plenty of ups and downs in his young career. From being heralded as MS Dhoni's successor and being criticized for his mistakes, to cementing his spot in the India playing XI, Pant is now being considered a future captain for the national team. Speaking to Jemimah Rodrigues on Dream11, the wicketkeeper-batter opened up about the "turning point" in his career which made him a fan-favourite and also a crucial cog in India's playing XI.
Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis on Tuesday backed his teammate Dinesh Karthik to make another India comeback following the wicketkeeper batter's match-winning knock against Rajasthan Royals in the IPL in Mumbai. Karthik smashed an unbeaten 44 of 23 balls to fire RCB to a four wicket win after a batting collapse that put his team in deep trouble. Shahbaz Ahmed also made a crucial 45 off 26 balls to set up the win. "DK is playing his best cricket. I think he needs to put his name back into international cricket, doesn't he," said du Plessis at the post-match presentation.
Shaheen Afridi once again put on a standout performance for Pakistan but couldn't help his team clinch victory over Australia in the one-off T20I at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Tuesday. The young pacer took two wickets in the same over, and ended the game with figures of two for 21. In the 18th over of the Australian innings, Shaheen dismissed skipper Aaron Finch for 55, before castling Sean Abbott on fourth ball of the same over. After dismissing Abbott for a golden duck, Shaheen gave a fiery send-off to the player by pumping his fists.
SYDNEY : Five-times European champions Barcelona will pay their first visit to Australia to play an A-League All Stars team in a friendly in Sydney next month, the club announced on Wednesday.
Rohit Sharma is India's official ambassador for La Liga and has been used in their promotional content on many occasions. So it wasn't much of a surprise when the India captain revealed in an interaction that former Real Madrid star Zinedine Zidane is his favourite footballer. The Frenchman also opened up about his experience when he watched an El Clasico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid in 2020. While conversing to ANI, he said, "I would say live, I went to El Clasico in 2020, just before COVID struck. We were there in Madrid to watch the Real Madrid and Barcelona game. So that was my best-ever memory of La Liga so far. I want to create more memories with La Liga, but now because we play so many games, and there are so many restrictions right now. I'm not able to travel there and experience it".
With MS Dhoni still calling the shots in a team led by Ravindra Jadeja, things haven't quite gone to plan for the four-time champions"Can you please tell us who the captain is? You stand at the deep and the field gets changed," a journalist didn't mince words and had Ravindra Jadeja on the wrong foot for a moment. Chennai Super Kings, under Jadeja, had just lost their third IPL match in a row - a new low in the history of the franchise - and it wasn't unjustified to ask why things were going wrong so far for the defending champions. While Jadeja had to face the uncomfortable questions off the field, it was quite clear that he wasn't the actual leader of the team on it.
