I try to give my best and only focus on the game," Krrish, the only deaf and mute cricketer to play in Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) cricket matches, told TOI in sign language. "When I joined the association last year, it was a bit tough to communicate with the other players and understand their instructions.
As Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs to keep up their perfect start to Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, former India head coach Ravi Shastri heaped praise on young batter Shubman Gill. The 22-year-old had got out for a duck in GT's first match of the season, but came back with a brilliant knock against DC to help his team post 170/6 against a fine bowling attack. Ravi Shastri hailed him as a "pure talent" and said he is one of the most talented cricketers in India as well as the world.
Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 clash on Saturday, Delhi Capitals' skipper Rishabh Pant said that the team could have batted well in the middle overs. Shubman Gill's 84-run knock and Lockie Ferguson's four-wicket haul guide Gujarat to a 14-run win here at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. "I think according to the wicket, that total was not so big. We could have batted well, especially in the middle overs. We lost three wickets in the powerplay and three in the middle (overs). I think every match is going to be hard after losing so many wickets," said Pant in a post-match presentation.
Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League match on Saturday, Delhi Capitals were very much in the game at 118/4, with skipper Rishabh Pant still at the crease. But a double blow from Lockie Ferguson in the 15th over, first to dismiss Pant for 43 and then Axar Patel, tilted the match in Gujarat's favour. The Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat ultimately won by 14 runs here at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. "Not bad, to be honest. Very happy with the way everyone is stepping up on the right occasion...That over from Lockie changed the momentum," said Hardik at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Lockie Ferguson may not steam in like former Kiwi expressman Shane Bond or possess the rhythmic run-up ex-South African pacer Dale Steyn had. His run-up, a gentle amble to the crease, belies the speed at which he going to deliver the ball. What he brings to the mix is a mean bouncer and a quick off-cutter, which on Saturday led to the undoing of Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant and allrounder Axar Patel at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) stadium. AS IT HAPPENEDThe two wickets Ferguson took in the 15th over had a profound impact. In pursuit of the Titans' 171, Capitals ended 14 runs short, giving the debutants an unbeaten start to their maiden IPL campaign. Ferguson ended with figures of 4/28 off his four overs. Ferguson had enjoyed another double strike earlier in the fourth over, getting rid of dangerous opener Prithvi Shaw and Mandeep Singh. An astute Pandya brought Ferguson back in the 15th over with the match evenly poised, and the New Zealander's second double strike sealed the issue. Pant and Lalit Yadav had resurrected the Capitals' innings from 34/3 with a 61-run fourth-wicket stand before the latter was run-out looking for a non-existent single.
Gujarat Titans to victory with his four-wicket haul against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League on Saturday, New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson said that having a potent bowling unit makes things easier for him. Shubman Gill's 84-run knock and Ferguson's 4 for 28 guided Gujarat to a 14-run win against Delhi here at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. "It was one of those nights; and with the kind of bowling partners I have, it makes things very easy for me. It's great (to have a potent bowling unit), helps to spread calmness in the group. The pressure was coming from both ends with the ball and it worked for us," said Ferguson at the post-match presentation.
