‘I must admit I was surprised to see GT lose this final’: Tom Moody on IPL 2023 summit clash

Former Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody said he was surprised to see Gujarat Titans lose to Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League 2023 final on Monday at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Speaking on ESPNCricinfo, Moody said, “I must admit I was surprised to see GT lose this final. They were my favorites going into it. They had most bases covered in all departments; their batting so strong and diverse and deep. They were also probably the most consistent side throughout the whole season, winning the most amount of games.” CSK equaled Mumbai India’s record of five IPL titles after Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s side triumphed in a last-ball thriller in a rain curtailed match, beating champions GT by five wickets. Put into bat, Gujarat racked up 214-4 after their number three batter Sai Su...

IPL 2023: Dhoni takes someone else’s trash and makes it treasure, says Matthew Hayden

Chennai Super Kings captain M.S. Dhoni. File | Photo Credit: R. Ragu Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a "magician" who can turn someone else's "trash into treasure" says the great Matthew Hayden, who also reckons that the former India captain's unmatched contribution to the CSK success story makes his playing future with the franchise "almost irrelevant". Dhoni's tactical genius has played a big part in CSK reaching their 10th IPL final. He did not have the best of bowling attacks at his disposal at the start of the tournament but he has been able to bring the best out of it. How he has used Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube in the batting department has also been praised widely. Dhoni, who has played with a knee injury throughout the tournament, has given himself 8-9 months to decide on his playi...

‘I have only learnt…’: Akash Madhwal reveals the lesson learnt from tennis ball cricket

Akash Madhwal bowled an impressive spell on Wednesday as Mumbai Indians beat Lucknow by 81 runs and took one step closer to the summit clash. Batting first, Mumbai Indians scored 182/8 in 20 overs, but Madhwal’s incredible figures of 3.3-0-5-5 and some terrific ground fielding led by skipper Rohit Sharma saw Gautam Gambhir mentored side crumble for a paltry 101 in 16.3 overs. Little-known Uttarakhand engineer Madhwal bowled a dream spell and took five wickets to enhance his reputation, having been a tennis ball cricketer until age 23. Speaking on what he has learnt from tennis, ball cricket, Madhwal said,” I have only learnt yorkers (laughs), and I implement that. That is because, in tennis ball cricket, only a yorker can save a bowler, or else if you miss your lengths, then it goes for...

IPL 2023: Business as usual for CSK, enter their 10th final in 14 seasons

Chennai Super Kings showed why they mean business in the playoff stage of the IPL by marching to their 10th final in 14 seasons, overcoming table-toppers Gujarat Titans by 15 runs. In the end, it was a complete performance from Chennai Super Kings. Despite losing the toss on a pitch where MS Dhoni too wanted to bowl first, their batters assessed the conditions perfectly to post 172/5. With no dew around, three spinners in their ranks to make the most of the slow conditions and the unorthodox fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana to take care of the death bowling, Dhoni controlled the game, save for a short while when Rashid Khan used the long handle and smashed 30 off just 16 balls.

IPL 2023: ‘Tough pill to swallow’, says AB de Villiers on RCB’s loss to GT

Former Royal Challengers Bangalore star AB de Villiers said the side’s loss to Gujarat Titans by six wickets at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday is a “tough pill to swallow”. The loss meant that the hosts could not qualify for the playoffs in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 season. De Villiers on his Twitter wrote, “Tough pill to swallow. Well tried RCB.

The result paved the way for Mumbai Indians’ entry into the playoffs as the fourth team. Kohli scored his seventh IPL century. Tough pill to swallow. W...

IPL 2023: CSK go second on points table as Gaikwad-Conway help crush Delhi Capitals

Synopsis: Gaikwad-Conway overpower ‘villain’ Warner to keep CSK in playoffs fight Delhi Capitals assistant coach Shane Watson had critiqued the grassless-slow Kotla strip on the eve of the game. Hours before the toss, it’d be watered and rolled to take the assist away from the bowlers. The toss however, went CSK’s way and so did the game, with the wicket slowing down as the game progressed. By the time Delhi realised the nature of the wicket, it was Chennai who had the ball, early wickets and 223 runs in their kitty to see through a vital win. Gaikwad-Conway have a field day The signs were there, from the very beginning. Of a calamitous outing for the DC bowlers.

IPL 2023: Yashasvi Jaiswal has learnt the art of converting 50s into 100s from Virat Kohli, says Virender Sehwag

Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag feels that young Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has picked up the skill of turning fifties into hundreds from chase-master Virat Kohli. “Yashasvi Jaiswal is a future star. He’s learnt the art of converting 50s into 100s from Virat Kohli,” Sehwag said on StarSports. Jaiswal has hit the right notes in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. After being bought by the Rajasthan Royals for Rs 4 crore, he has repaid their faith with some scintillating batting displays. Jaiswal started the season with a bang and is among the leading run-scorers in the tournament. “Several batters throw their wickets after scoring 13-ball 50, but Yashasvi looks to build on. He’s got that temperament to play big knocks,” Sehwag added. Jaiswal is seen as ...

IPL 2023: Marcus Stoinis, spinners, Mohsin Khan help LSG upstage star-studded Mumbai

Synopsis: Marcus Stoinis’ powerhouse innings and Ravi Bishnoi’s game-changing wickets hand Lucknow a crucial win for their playoff hopes On a ground where the par score is 142, Lucknow Super Giants would have felt comfortable after notching 177 after a swashbuckling 89 from Marcus Stoinis. But after a brilliant opening stand between Rohit Sharma, who showed flashes of genius after being out of form for much of this season, and Ishan Kishan, who toyed with the Lucknow pacers to hit a 39-ball 59, Mumbai were 92-1 after 10 overs. Lucknow would have been concerned at that stage.

IPL 2023, LSG vs MI Emotional Rollercoaster: Chawla stings like a bee, Stoinis reprieve from review & joyous Thakur scoops SKY

Mohsin stays calm Mohsin Khan gestured to captain Krunal Pandya that he is calm, as he stood at the top of his run-up, tossing the ball. Sweat dripped over his face, the eyes were anxious, the face wore a sombre expression. But nervous he was not. Needing to defend 10 runs for a win, he slid an off-cutter first ball to Cameron Green. He shoved the ball straight back at him. A length ball followed, and he had to thank Green’s ricketiness for it not sailing over the ropes. But the single brought Tim David, and here was Mohsin’s big test. He stood up to the challenge. David’s hitting zone is the leg-side and so he bowled a full ball, slanting away outside the off-stump. David could manage just a single and was off the strike. Pandya would again tell him to be calm. Khan would nod his head...

IPL 2023: Brian Lara admits not getting to grips with hectic IPL season

Legendary West Indian Brian Lara has conceded that he was not able to come to “grips” with the rigours and emotions of the tournament in his first year as Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach as the franchise once again made an early exit from the IPL. Defending champions Gujarat Titans became the first team to make the playoffs following heir their 34-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Monday. The result also knocked out the Lara-coached side who still have two more matches left. “First of all, it’s my first year (as head coach of an IPL side)…,” ,” Lara said in the post-match media interaction. Lara indicated understanding the nitty-gritty in his first year of being the chief coach of a T20 side was difficult. After an unsuccessful 2022 where they finished eighth, SRH parted ways with...

IPL 2023, GT vs SRH emotional rollercoaster: There was a big gulf in class as Titans sealed their playoff spot, showing Sunrisers the exit door

Unable to tackle quality bowling Mohammed Shami’s bowling in this IPL would not be out of place in a Test match, regardless of pitch conditions. The Sunrisers Hyderabad had seemingly no clue about how to combat quality bowling with the new cherry. The total they were chasing was not enormous so they could afford to give Shami the respect he deserved. But Anmolpreet Singh thought it fit to attempt a hoick off a back-of-a-length delivery, only to get a top edge that was caught at third man. Rahul Tripathi gave regulation catching practice behind the wicket as he guided Shami to Rahul Tewatia at slip. Abhishek Sharma had already been dismissed by a lazy waft off returning left-armer Yash Dayal. Even skipper Aiden Markram found Shami too hot to handle, a length ball taking a leading edge an...
