Deepak Chahar ‘confused’ who to look at for instructions on the field – MS Dhoni or CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad | Cricket News – Times of India

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) registered their second consecutive win of IPL 2024 in as many matches with a comprehensive 63-run victory over Gujarat Titans on Tuesday. And while Shivam Dube stole the show with his breezy half-century, Deepak Chahar's light-hearted comment on CSK captaincy after the match didn't go unnoticed. MS Dhoni had handed over the CSK captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad before the start of the season, but the former India skipper remains the man who the players look up to for guidance, besides skipper Gaikwad. So it was a valid question when batting legend Sunil Gavaskar asked Chahar after the match who he looks at for instructions on the field - Dhoni or Gaikwad. Chahar jokingly replied: "I got to look at Mahi (MSD) bhai and at Ruturaj - both of them these days for field p...

IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings showcase batting might as Shivam Dube stars in 63-run rout of Gujarat Titans at Chepauk

SYNOPSIS: With a batting template in tune with the demands of T20 cricket, Chennai Super Kings showed their might at home to bury Gujarat Titans by 63 runs for their second successive win. For a major part of the last decade, Chennai Super Kings’ template at home was to strangle opponents with their spinners. On the slow Chepauk pitches, where they enjoy a win percentage of over 70, this had been their success model. But with batting depth that extends all the way to No.9, CSK’s Plan A is to out-bat the opposition with sheer power. 2⃣ in 2⃣ for Chennai Super Kings 👏👏 That’s some start to #TATAIPL 2024 for the men in yellow 💛 Scorecard ▶️ https://t.co/9KKISx5poZ#TATAIPL | #CSKvGT | @ChennaiIPL pic.twitter.com/njrS8SkqcM — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) March 26, 2024 And with a placid pitch...

EXCLUSIVE: In letter to top cricketers, BCCI secretary Jay Shah warns ‘skipping domestic red-ball games will have severe implications’

BOARD OF Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah on Friday wrote to top cricketers — centrally contracted as well as India A — warning them that domestic cricket remains a “critical yardstick for selection” to the national team and non-participation in it will have “severe implications”. The reason for the communication, according to the letter, was “the concerning trend of players prioritising the IPL over domestic red-ball cricket”. “There is a recent trend that has started to emerge and is a cause for concern. Some players have begun prioritising the IPL over domestic cricket, a shift that was not anticipated. Domestic cricket has always been the foundation upon which Indian cricket stands, and it has never been undervalued in our vision for the sport,” Shah said in th...

India vs South Africa 3rd T20 playing XI tip off: Gill stays as opener alongside Jaiswal, Chahar back in the side

After the first T20I was washed off, Proteas made short work of India’s 152-run revised total in a 15-over chase that they saw off with seven balls to spare and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. India will be looking to avoid only a second-ever T20I series defeat to South Africa.The defeat in Gqeberha asked a lot of questions to the visitors, who were unable to defend what seemed like an above par total on a ground historically known to have aided the bowlers more than it does to the batters. So, with a series result at stake, here are the possible changes the men in blue can make to their XI in the third T20I on Thursday. Shubman Gill keeps his spot With Ruturaj Gaikwad having been unavailable for selection owing to illness, Shubman Gill walked in to open alongside Yashasvi J...

South Africa’s $68 million opportunity to rebuild team, India’s chance to forget World Cup heartbreak

India and South Africa are at a curiously similar place as they start a month-long tour with a three-game T20 series from Sunday. Both teams will view the ODI World Cup with a bittersweetness. Both teams had issues before the big event but South Africa dazzled against Australia in a home series as did India at the Asia Cup. And they forced the world to gape at them later during the ICC event. Now both teams look at fresher faces in the T20 series to take them forward.Off the field too, both nations are casting their nets in similarly diverse places for unearthing talent. For a while now, South Africa have been social-engineering their teams with black quotas to reflect the larger populace of the country but have been facing criticism for it.

India vs Australia tip off XI: Washington Sundar to get a game, Deepak Chahar seeking redemption and more

Going into the final game of the IND vs AUS T20I series, to be played in Bengaluru, India will be looking to test their bench strength as they have already sealed the bilateral affair with a win in the fourth T20I in Raipur. Though there has yet to be a perfect performance from the Surykumar Yadav-led side so far in the series, they have managed to overcome challenges and pulled off wins. Bowling with the new ball has been something India have struggled with throughout the series. The Australian new ball bowlers haven’t been perfect either. But the difference in the two sides has been the quality of spinners. Compared to inexperienced Tanveer Sangha, India’s Ravis Bishnoi and Axar Patel extracted a lot more from the surfaces. If bowling has been a negative for both sides, the batting u...
