"Hardik Made A Decision": Kieron Pollard's Sharp Reply To Question On MI Skipper

Mumbai Indians' batting coach Kieron Pollard backed Hardik Pandya's move to open the bowling instead of Jasprit Bumrah and also said the skipper batting at number seven in their IPL opener against Gujarat Titans was a "collective decision".

Why Tilak Varma Denied Single To Tim David? MI Skipper Hardik Pandya's Straightforward Reply

Following his side's six run loss to the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign opener, Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya said that he backs batter Tilak Varma's decision to not take that single against Rashid Khan to give strike to hard-hitting Tim David, even though it perhaps cost them the game. MI failed to capitalise on momentum brought by a 77-run stand between Rohit Sharma and Dewald Brevis and registered a narrow loss to start the tournament. A crucial decision that decided the outcome of the game was Tilak not taking a single against Rashid Khan in the 17th over and backing himself to fire runs against the spinner instead of David.

Ruturaj Gaikwad led CSK on Friday in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament opener game in Chennai. The home team won the match by six wickets. Though Gaikwad was captain, MS grabbed everyone's attention as he was often seen helping his new captain in setting field positions.

Ruturaj Gaikwad's First Reaction On Replacing MS Dhoni As CSK Skipper

Newly-appointed Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has been handed a "huge" responsibility but with the likes of MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja still there to guide him in the field, he is breathing easy. The legendary Dhoni handed over the CSK captaincy to Gaikwad a day before their IPL opener against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday. Having joined the franchise in 2019, Gaikwad has established himself in the team but leading the side will be a massive challenge. "It is a privilege. More than that, it is a huge responsibility but I am really excited because of the kind of group we have. Everyone's experienced enough so not much of a thing for me to do," said Gaikwad in a short video posted by CSK on social media.
