With Delhi crowd set to root for former India Captain, CSK look to seal playoff spot todayNEW DELHI: The MS Dhoni fever has reached Delhi and it is certainly going to raise the temperature in the peak-summer afternoon match against Delhi Capitals on Saturday. IPL 2023 SCHEDULE | IPL 2023 POINTS TABLEDhoni's campaign with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) across the country this IPL has an uncanny resemblance with Sachin Tendulkar's last World Cup campaign in 2011. Going into the last league match at second place in the points table, Dhoni's team still doesn't have a confirmed place in the playoffs.As much as this is about CSK making amends for finishing at the bottom of the table last year, it's also about Dhoni getting a chance to go back to the Chepauk to play one more time in a city that has...

Axar, Ashwin to the rescue as Lyon destroys India’s top order

Elegant execution: Axar Patel sends Nathan Lyon to the ropes watched by wicketkeeper Alex Carey and Steve Smith. | Photo Credit: V.V. Krishnan When 302 runs are scored in a day’s play — notably 144 in the post-tea session — the playing surface ceases to be part of any discussion on sub-standard pitches.Taking the cue from the way Axar Patel and R. Ashwin lifted India from 139 for seven with a 114-run stand to keep India alive in the contest and Travis Head produced some blistering strokeplay, the more accomplished batters in both camps could go beyond the pitch-talk and bat better in the second innings. Better batting is key As things stand following two days of intense battle in the second Test, Australia stood a run ahead of India in the first innings and then raced away to 61...

Australia innings ends inside opening day again

Off you go! David Warner leaves caught by wicketkeeper Bharat off Mohammed Shami. | Photo Credit: V.V. Krishnan The script had a predictable ring to it. As in the first Test, Australia batted by choice but India kept it in check. Again, the Australian innings did not last the day. Spinners R. Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja remained effective while Mohammed Shami scalped four. If Australia battled hard to reach 263 — 86 runs more than what it managed in Nagpur — the early firmness of the pitch and fast outfield helped. In keeping with the average score of 277 at the Ferozeshah Kotla on the opening day of a Test, 284 runs came after India’s response of 21 without loss. Pertinently, when India batted, quite a few deliveries squatted or shot through. Should the bounce become any lower a...

India looks comfortably poised to retain the trophy with a win at the Kotla

Fit for the fray: One of the speculations surrounding the India team selection is whether Shreyas will replace Suryakumar. | Photo Credit: R.V. Moorthy Riddled with self-doubt, injuries and lack of skill-sets in dealing with spin-friendly surfaces, Australia faces a cautious and upbeat India in its bid to prevent the host from retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with two Tests to spare.Contrary to popular perception, the second encounter of the four-Test series beginning at the Ferozeshah Kotla here on Friday could last longer than the eight sessions of action seen at Nagpur. Good news for batsmen Unlike the weather in the Orange City, the cooler temperatures here carry a lot of moisture, and that could lead to the pitch staying batter-friendly for more sessions. The cool morni...

Ranji Trophy: Vaibhav Rawal’s defiance helps Delhi escape with draw | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Ten years after making a century on firstclass debut against Tamil Nadu, having managed to play just 20 games, Vaibhav Rawal scored a defiant unbeaten 95 on the last day of the Ranji match against the same opponents to help Delhi avert another loss in the season. At the end of the day, Tamil Nadu may have felt hard done by Delhi’s slow over-rate while chasing the 139-run target in the last hour. They finished with 54/3 in six overs. However, it was always difficult to get all overs in with the light fading rapidly. Delhi, having lagged all match, managed a jailbreak and managed a point while Tamil Nadu walked away with three points. It was always Tamil Nadu who were looking to make a match out of this here at the Ferozeshah Kotla when Delhi resumed their second innings at 28/...
