IPL 2023: RCB vs LSG | If I score more runs, my strike-rate will go up, says KL Rahul

Murali Kumar Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul is confident of improving his strike-rate in the coming matches of the Indian Premier League. Chasing 213 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bengaluru on April 10, 2023, Lucknow Super Giants were off to a horror start and their captain also struggled to free his arms, consuming 20 balls for his 18 runs. However, man-of-the-match Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis had other ideas as they powered LSG to a memorable last-ball win, with their scintillating half-centuries. "If I score more runs, the strike-rate will go up. I looked at the situation and ...

IPL 2023 emotional rollercoaster: Avesh almost gets Kohli, Kohli hits one hell of a shot and Pooran smashes living daylights out of RCB bowlers

Harshal misses a trick With 1 run needed from two balls, and Bangalore needing one wicket to push the game into superover, Harshal Patel pulled out before releasing the ball just as he approached the stumps. The non-striker Ravi Bishnoi had run out of the crease, backing up too quickly. But Harshal missed flicking the bails off – he had tried but he didn’t make contact and he kept running ahead with the momentum. His bowling arm hadn’t passed the perpendicular, which would construe he had completed the action and can’t run out a non-striker who has backed up too far. But another strange thing would occur. He had kept running on the wicket a bit too far. Bishnoi was still out of the crease by a distance. Harshal turned around, and fired down the stumps with a throw and appealed. In the d...

World Chess Championship: Of knights facing sideways, a game of chairs and power-walking contenders

Russia’s Ian Nepomniachtchi claimed victory in Game 2 of the World Chess Championship after 29 moves as he forced Ding Liren to resign with the Chinese under the pressure on the board and on the clock. Unlike the first game, Game 2 packed quite a few surprises. The first one, at least for FIDE commentators Viswanathan Anand and eight-time US Women’s Champion Irina Krush, was the fact that Ding is a “sideways knight” player (a player who has their horse-shaped knight pointing sideways rather than facing the opponents’ pieces). “I didn’t even realise that (keeping the knight facing) sideways was an option! Have you ever seen a horse facing sideways to its own army? It’s got to face the other one right? It’s got to charge that way? But yeah, Garry (Kasparov) would always turn it sideways,”...

Worst game played in the history of World Championships

Let me just put it in black and white. Game 2 of the 2023 FIDE World Championships between Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren was the worst game played in the history of the championships. The game ended in favour of Nepo, who was playing with black, in just 29 moves. The play by Ding was very strange. His behaviour too has been bizarre. He was very nervous during the first game as well and in the interview after the game, he revealed that after reaching Astana, Kazakhstan where the championship is being held, he actually changed his hotel room a day before the start. Something is wrong with him at the moment. He’s very underconfident and lacks self-esteem. Perhaps it’s because everyone in Kazakhstan talks Russian. He may be intimidated by it. He was constantly holding his head in both h...

However, Du Plessis finally opened up with three huge hits over the fence off Bishnoi in the 15th over, one of which went115 m and out of the ground.

Shubman Gill can break Virat Kohli’s record: Ravi Shastri makes bold prediction

Former India coach Ravi Shastri predicted that Gujarat Titans opener Shubman Gill could go on to break Virat Kohli’s record of scoring the most runs (973) in a single season of the Indian Premier League. Kohli achieved the feat in IPL 2016, where he scored at an average of 81.08 and a strike rat of over 152. Picking Gill as the one with the ability to surpass Kohli, Shastri said, “He (Gill) has to be an opening batsman, because only then will he get many opportunities to score runs.” “I feel, it is Subhman Gill because he is in good form and also because he plays top of the order. So he will get good number of opportunities to score runs,” Shastri added while speaking to Star Sports. “The pitches are good, so if he can score 80-100 runs consecutively in two or three innings, then at tha...
