IPL 2022: Speak up, Virat! Dhoni’s sticks to the tried, tested and trusted

When Virat Kohli pushed a ball to the left of cover in the sixth over where it was half-stopped after a dive, he set off for a single. His partner Faf du Plessis wasn’t so sure; he stuttered mid-way, taking a couple of dragging steps, as he waited for a signal from Kohli. It didn’t come but eventually they crossed safely. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis take a run during RCB vs CSK match. (Source: iplt20.com) Once he was at the other end, du Plessis signalled to Kohli to shout out his intention. He even walked across to have a chat and as Kohli seemingly suggested he was waiting to see if the ball was stopped cleanly or not, du Plessis gently shook his head with a smile, and once again gave the signal that he should speak up his intent. Both smiled, and went back to their respective pl...

IPL 2022: All round effort takes RCB past CSK

For a while, it seemed no one was going to stay with Dinesh Karthik and allow him to do his thing but luckily, for Royal Challengers Bangalore, he got strike for a full over in the 20th. And he made it count. Dwaine Pretorius wasn’t too far from the blockhole but Karthik retreated so far back into the crease, with his back leg adjacent to the off-stump, that he somehow managed to swing two stunning sixes over the legside to loot 16 valuable runs in the over. It was the difference between a good total on a pitch that helped turn and where the ball held up a touch, and a below-par one. In this season, Karthik has time and again shown that he doesn’t just slog, but picks his shots and the bowlers to go after. Here he had no choice but to go after the ball in the last over, but even then, ...

Goal! Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ shirt sets auction record

The shirt worn by Diego Maradona when he scored the controversial “Hand of God” goal against England in the 1986 World Cup has sold for 7.1 million pounds ($9.3 million), the highest price ever paid at auction for a piece of sports memorabilia. Auctioneer Sotheby’s sold the shirt in an online auction that closed Wednesday. It did not identify the buyer. Maradona scored two goals during the quarter-final game in Mexico City on June 22, 1986, just four years after Britain and Argentina had fought a war over the Falkland Islands. The Argentine great’s first goal was ruled a header, but the ball had bounced off Maradona’s fist, out of sight of the referee. Maradona said afterward that it had been scored “a little with the head of Maradona, and a little with the hand of God.” Maradona’s seco...

IPL 2022: How Moeen Ali has Virat Kohli’s number

Moeen Ali has clean bowled Virat Kohli in the past, even in Tests with his big-turning loopy off breaks. Kohli has tried to cover drive on stretched front foot and has been bowled once in a Test in Chennai. This time around, since the ball had been turning decently on the Pune surface, Kohli tried to wrist it with the turn to the on side. But he missed it completely. It spun in sharp from outside off stump to go through the bat-pad-gap and disturb the furniture. Moeen pumped his fist and Kohli had one of those rueful looks at the pitch as he walked away. He had tried to cut a delivery outside off that had gone on straight and was beaten. Then one spun sharply past his pads for a wide. The pitch was helping turn and as soon as Moeen got his line right by starting it from outside off stum...

Qatar faces World Cup questions as 200-day countdown looms | Football News – Times of India

Eight shiny, air-conditioned stadiums are ready for the tournament's start on November 21, but every night the army of South Asian workers who underpin Qatar's energy-rich economy swarm over unfinished roads and building sites around Doha. Dozens of gigantic cranes tower over the capital's skyscrapers while organisers juggle with the dilemma of welcoming an estimated 1.4 million fans wanting entertainment and alcohol in the tiny, conservative Islamic state.

Will Rohit, Rahul, Virat be India’s top-3 going into the T20 World Cup? | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Their current form may not inspire confidence but skipper Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli will be indispensable in the Indian team during the T20 World Cup in Australia but a change in their batting order may be considered for the benefit of the side, say experts. While IPL is an indicator of current form but the national selection committee under Chetan Sharma at this point is not even remotely harbouring any such thoughts, at least not for the time being. However, one point that is being debated is whether skipper Rohit, his deputy Rahul and team's premier batter Kohli will occupy the top three slots in the batting order at the mega event, set to be played in Australia in October-November. In the last World T20, their batting order didn't yield favourable results and...

IPL showed people have different ways to succeed, can’t be just one template, says Virat Kohli

IPL’s all-time leading scorer, Virat Kohli, feels playing in the lucrative league for 14 years has made him realise that there is not just one template to succeed in the game in which he has attained superstar status. It also helped him add a different dimension to his “understanding of the game”, the former India captain said. Seeking to regain his touch after battling a prolonged slump in form, Kohli has so far accumulated nearly 6500 runs in the IPL, having played for Royal Challengers Bangalore from its inaugural edition in 2008. On IPL’s impact on his life, Kohli said on ‘Inside RCB’ show on Star Sports, “I think outside of playing for India, IPL gave me the platform to show my capabilities, compete against the best in the world and share knowledge with them. “I think that was the...
