Joe Root promised to be with new England Test captain Ben Stokes "every step of the way" after his close friend was appointed as his successor on Thursday. The 30-year-old Stokes, who served as Root's deputy, was the overwhelming favourite to take charge of a struggling team that have won just one of their past 17 Test matches.
Ben Stokes was on Thursday named as England cricket team's Test captain. The senior allrounder was always the front-runner for the role since Joe Root's resignation after five long years in the top job. Stokes will have his task cut out as the England skipper after the team's drubbing in the Ashes to Australia. Stokes is now the 81st player to lead the England men's Test team. His appointment was suggested by Rob Key, the new managing director of England men's cricket, amidst a wind of sea change post the Ashes loss.
Leading an Indian Premier League (IPL) team for the first time, Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Hardik Pandya has been nothing short of a revelation in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. With five wins from six games, he has led the new franchise with incredible skill and temperament. The results are there for all to see as his team finds itself among the top-four in the points table. Some of his on-field tactics, especially under pressure, have been remarkable. On Saturday, against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Pandya broke a 34-game unique streak that started from Match 1 of the IPL 2022.
Rajasthan Royals' (RR) Skipper Sanju Samson said that the umpire's refusal to check a no-ball in the final over of their thrilling match against Delhi Capitals (DC) was very clear and he stuck to his decision. Jos Buttler's 116-run knock and Prasidh Krishna's three-wicket haul (3 for 22) helped Rajasthan (222 for 2) beat Delhi (207 for 8) by 15 runs in a high-scoring match at the Wankhede Stadium. With 36 runs needed in the last six balls, DC batter Rovman Powell hit sixes off the first two balls of the over bowled by left-arm pacer Obed McCoy. On the third ball, he again hit a full toss for a maximum and that delivery, according to Delhi Capitals' captain Rishabh Pant and their team management, should have been called a no-ball.
(Reuters) - The England cricket board (ECB) should have different coaches for the men's team for all three formats owing to the "demands" of the game, white-ball captain Eoin Morgan said.

Chennai Super Kings skipper Ravindra Jadeja bowed down to MS Dhoni after the latter brought his side to victory in his classic style finish against Mumbai Indians.

The batter scored 16 runs in the last over, which was being bowled by Jaydev Undakat.
