Yash Dayal, the Gujarat Titans (GT) pacer, was on the receiving end as Rinku Singh smashed him for five sixes in the final over to lead Kolkata Knight Riders to a scarcely believable victory. Dayal conceded 69 runs in his four overs, and hasn’t featured again for Gujarat. On Tuesday, April 25, Pandya gave an update on Dayal, and revealed that he had fallen ill after the match and lost 7-8kg. Hardik confirmed that Dayal would need time before he returned to the field. Mohit Finds a Second Wind “I can’t confirm that (on his chances of playing again this…

Sunil Gavaskar, the former India captain, has advised Rohit Sharma, who currently leads the Mumbai Indians (MI), to take a break in the middle of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Gavaskar suggested that such a move would help Rohit recharge his batteries ahead of the World Test Championship Final against Australia, which is scheduled to be played in early June, shortly after the conclusion of the IPL. Gavaskar’s words followed a disappointing defeat for the Mumbai Indians at the hands of the Gujarat Titans, who secured a commanding 55-run victory at the Narendra Modi Stadium. As a result,…

Paul Stirling, the experienced Irish batter, scored his first Test century on the second day of the ongoing second Test between Sri Lanka and Ireland at the Galle International Stadium.

He also became the 23rd player to score a century in all three international formats. Stirling scored a brilliant 103 off 181 balls, including nine fours and four sixes. He retired hurt with cramps on the opening day after scoring 74, but returned to the crease…

During their match against Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore were penalised for a slow over-rate for the second time this season. As a result, the team, including Virat Kohli, standing in as captain for the injured Faf du Plessis, received a fine for violating the IPL’s Code of Conduct. If the team repeats the offence in again, the consequences will include a ban for the captain. Despite their over-rate issues, Bangalore managed to clinch a seven-run victory over Rajasthan in a closely fought encounter. However, Kohli and his playing XI, along with the impact substitute, were slapped with fines of…

JioCinema has announced that Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians captain, will be its brand ambassador for the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. This is a surprising move, as Sharma was previously signed by Star Sports, the TV broadcast rights holder of the tournament. According to JioCinema officials, Sharma has now joined the digital streaming app as its ambassador. JioCinema has also signed up other big names, including Sachin Tendulkar, Suryakumar Yadav, MS Dhoni, and Smriti Mandhana, as its ambassadors.

Don’t End as You Begin In his first five seasons in the IPL, Sandeep Sharma took 71 wickets for Kings XI Punjab, as the team was known then. Over the next five years, he took just 43. Batsmen seldom punished him, but the skiddish waspishness that first caught the eye wasn’t always there. Maybe as his dreams of becoming an India regular faded, the motivation levels dropped a touch. What he does still have, though, is vast experience in this competition. It’s easy to be overawed by the sight of MS Dhoni wielding his bat as you run in…

– Atreyo Mukhopadhyay Finally, it’s done and dusted. The Border Gavaskar Trophy ended on a satisfactory note for India as they achieved the double goal of winning the series and qualifying for the World Test Championship final, where they will face Australia again, at The Oval from June 7-11. There was a lot more turn than twists. This series saw pitches conducive for spinners in the first two Tests in Nagpur and Delhi, a snake pit of a turner in the third in Indore before things came to a quiet end on a featherbed by the banks of Sabarmati in…
