The BCCI on Saturday felicitated Tokyo Olympians, including gold medallist javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, with cash awards ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 opener between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Board handed Chopra a cheque of Rs 1 crore while Tokyo Games bronze medal winning boxer Lovlina Borgohain was given Rs 25 lakh for her achievement.
As Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) get set to kick off their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign, one big question surrounding them has been the batting position of Virat Kohli. Kohli's best season came as an opener in 2016, but he has played at No.3 of late. Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag said that if RCB don't have a very good opening option, Kohli should begin the innings for them alongside Faf du Plessis, but ideally he should be playing at No.3.
CSK vs KKR, IPL 2022, Live Updates: Chennai Super Kings find themselves in a spot of bother in the ongoing IPL 2022 match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. CSK are four wickets down after being put on to bat first by KKR captain Shreyas Iyer. Varun Chakravarthy got the better of Robin Uthappa, after Umesh Yadav had dismissed both the CSK openers in the powerplay. Uthappa was looking lively before Chakaravarthy halted his progress. Earlier, KKR had won the toss and elected to bowl against CSK. KKR named three overseas players -- Sam Billings, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine -- in their playing XI while CSK pick four overseas players -- Devon Conway, Mitchell Santner, Dwayne Bravo, and Adam Milne. Ahead of the toss, KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer received his debut cap, alongside fellow newcomers Ajinkya Rahane and Billings. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja will lead CSK this season after MS Dhoni stepped down from his role earlier this week. Both teams had met in the IPL final last season, with CSK running out victorious in the UAE. (LIVE SCORECARD)
IPL 2022 is underway with the clash between CSK and KKR and it promises to be yet another glittering tournament. CSK have a new captain in Ravindra Jadeja and the in-form all-rounder needs to lead by example, just like his predecessor MS Dhoni. Jadeja has been in excellent batting form over the past few years and cricket fans and pundits have often felt that the southpaw bats a tad too low in CSK's batting order.
IPL 2022 began in a disastrous fashion for defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they lost the wicket of opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad in the first over of the campaign opener against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Gaikwad, the Orange Cap winner from last season, chased a widish delivery outside the off stump and ended up edging it to Nitish Rana in the slips.
CSK vs KKR, IPL 2022, Live Updates: Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the season opener of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Last season, CSK defeated KKR in the final in the UAE, and lifted their fourth IPL title. Both teams will be under leadership this season. MS Dhoni stepped down as captain of CSK on Thursday, and Ravindra Jadeja will fill in for him this season. Meanhile, KKR did not retain their skipper Eoin Morgan, and signed Shreyas Iyer at the mega auction last month. Both teams will miss several players initially due to international commitments. It will be interesting to see which team will take the bragging rights ahead of a long and tiring season. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Rajasthan Royals (RR) fans were left confused and upset after the team announced on Friday that they were letting go of their social media team, after captain Sanju Samson tweeted his displeasure about a caricature on him on the team's official Twitter account. The RR social media admin has become a cult figure on Twitter thanks to the team's innovative and funny posts, and fans were peeved that RR were going to fire their social media team. However, the franchise on Saturday revealed that the entire episode was one elaborate prank.
MS Dhoni, who recently stepped down as the captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), is famous for his cool and calm demeanor and quick wit. He is also known for being very straightforward, whether it's his interactions with the press or with his teammates and coaches. Sports data analyst Prasanna Agoram, who had joined the Rising Pune Supergiant team as a performance coach in 2016, recalled his first meeting with the enigmatic wicketkeeper-batter, who was playing for them when CSK were suspended from the Indian Premier League (IPL) for two years.
