RCB vs CSK IPL 2023 emotional rollercoaster: Rahane proves a point, Dube makes merry & Akash Singh snares Kohli

Slinga Pathirana Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana, referred back home as Baby Malinga because of a similar bowling action, made the same impact in the death overs as his renowned compatriot. His wicket-and-four runs 18th over decisively swung the match in CSK’s favour. Pathirana even earned his skipper’s approval with the wicket of Shahbaz, as Dhoni flashed a warm smile and a word of encouragement. Newcomer Parnell then struggled to read Pathirana, whose wide arm action troubled the South African. He then fooled Hasaranga and Prabhudesai in the last over with slower ones and yorkers to seal the deal for CSK. Move over Slinga Malinga. There’s now a Slinga Pathirana. -Mihir Vasavda Rahane on the offensive Ajinkya Rahane seems to have a point to prove this IPL. Almost the forgotten man in ...

SRH vs MI IPL 2023 Live Streaming: When and where to watch?

IPL 2023, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians Live Telecast: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians will look to continue their winning momentum when they face a resurgent Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League on Tuesday. Both MI and SRH are coming into Tuesday’s match after successive wins. They had started the tournament with identical back-to-back losses. On Sunday, Suryakumar snapped his wretched run of low scores, which included four ducks, with a quickfire 25-ball 43 as MI chased down 186 with 14 balls to spare for a comfortable five-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai. If Suryakumar was sensational, opener Ishan Kishan looked ominous during his 25-ball 58 and the duo will look to produce the fireworks again when they take on the Sunrisers. MI, who had struggl...

IPL 2023: Faf-Maxwell fireworks in vain as CSK edge high-scoring encounter against RCB

Synopsis: 40 overs, 444 runs, 33 sixes, and a high-octane match give fans their money’s worth. MS Dhoni put down his counterpart Faf Du Plessis when the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper was on naught. The South African made Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pay and during his 126-run partnership with Glenn Maxwell, the home team seemed capable of chasing down a record IPL target. However, the CSK skipper redeemed himself by taking two skiers to remove both Faf and Maxwell, denting RCB’s hopes of making it two on the bounce as they fell short by eight runs. Chasing 227 on any surface was going to be challenging, and the only way was to keep the foot on the pedal. That’s exactly what Faf and Maxwell did after losing two quick wickets. 444 runs scored! 😱 Would have been great to finish o...

Virat Kohli: Watch: Virat Kohli’s unusual dismissal against CSK | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli has been in sublime form in the IPL 2023 with three half-centuries so far and once again a big knock was expected from RCB batter but the pressure of the huge run chase got him out cheaply that too in an unusual manner against Chennai Super Kings.Chasing a mammoth 227, Kohli started off with a double followed by a boundary off CSK pacer Akash Singh, who was brought in as Impact Player, but he perished soon in his attempt to accelerate.But the manner Kohli got out would have certainly disappointed him. He made ample room to hit the length ball through midwicket but ended up getting an inside edge. The ball clipped the shoe and ricocheted on to the stumps and Akash jumped in celebration.Earlier, Devon Conway slammed a blistering 83 off 45 balls while Shivam Dube bla...

‘My role to bridge gap between computer screen and what a player experiences at the table’

One of the world’s greatest chess minds who, when seated across the board, could see well into the future is consumed by a nagging fear that, from behind the microphone, he’d ‘miss something obvious that everyone in the world can see’. “My fear,” says Viswanathan Anand, “is I’m sitting there rambling and then they play something (else)… I’d be slightly embarrassed. That’s the danger of not having a computer. One of the things I tried in Dubai (during the 2021 World Championship) and I stuck to here was almost never consulting a computer.” These fears, as it turns out, have proven unfounded. In fact, the five-time world champion almost flawlessly predicts moves and foresees the ‘breakdown of thoughts’ of champions and challengers alike with his quick-witted analysis, typical self-effacin...
