When Australian batsman David Warner and Pakistan quick Shaheen Shah Afridi were embroiled in a tense standoff at the crease in Lahore, plenty of sports fans didn't know what to think.
Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has been one of the most consistent performers in all formats for the senior side ever since New Zealand's tour of India late last year. His epic outings have not only helped India secure crucial wins, but now puts him in good stead ahead of the Indian Premier League 2022 season where he is set to lead his new franchise Kolkata Knight Riders. Iyer was picked by KKR in the IPL Mega Auction held in Bengaluru last month and was later appointed as the captain of the side. Having led the Delhi Capitals (DC) franchise earlier, Shreyas has the ability to bring renewed energy in a new-look KKR side.
In her first news conference since announcing her immediate retirement from professional tennis, three-time major champion and current world No. 1 Ash Barty called her decision «scary but exciting» and said she was looking forward to working with Australian junior players in the near future, as well as spending time with her family.
Shreyas Iyer? Team mentor David Hussey feels they do have the combination right, and now it is over to the players and support staff. The support staff in particular have a huge role to play, given that some of KKR's key players are prone to injuries. Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy all have in the past missed crucial matches and Hussey accepts workload management is an important area to work on.
Tamim Iqbal said his team's one-day international series triumph against South Africa on Wednesday was a highlight of his 15-year international career. "This is massive," he said at the after-match presentation after scoring 87 not out to seal a nine-wicket win in the series-deciding third match at SuperSport Park in Centurion. Tamim said the victory was especially significant for himself and three other veterans of Bangladesh cricket -- Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah. Mushfiqur made his debut in 2005 and the other three started their international careers in 2007. "This is probably one of the biggest achievements in my career. We have got four seniors who have been playing for 15 years. I rate this series at the top."
Mumbai Indians (MI) have over the years used different opening combinations and in the last season, Rohit Sharma had opened the batting alongside South African wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock. But this year, with de Kock gone, MI will have a relatively new opening combination. Skipper Rohit Sharma has finally revealed who will come out to bat alongside him in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings have all played in IPL finals without crossing the final hurdle. In the hope to land the big prize, all three franchises have made significant changes. Will it alter their fortunes this time around?ROYAL CHALLENGERS LOST TO KKR IN 2021 ELIMINATORA few things about Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Their fans are the most loyal despite the franchise, like some Indian politicians, being performance-proof. They are their own biggest rivals, thanks to questionable calls made at the auction table and frequent chopping and changing. And, they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. They have been bridesmaids thrice (2009, 2011 and 2016). Some seasons (2017, 2018 and 2019), their performances have been so poor that even an odd win seemed as momentous as winning the title.
