At WTC, India needs Rohit Sharma the Mumbai Indians captain

[ad_1] “Yaar … field-setting toh dekh le.” That Rohit Sharma cry of frustration from one of the IPL games that summed up the season where he did his best to get the most out of an inexperienced bowling attack. Watching Rohit marshal Mumbai Indians from mid-wicket should have been a ticketed event. Jio Cinema’s Bird Eye camera, which prowled the arena like a drone, captured him baring his soul more than ever in the past. Saddled with a weak bowling unit that seemed bereft of experience and skill, Rohit was severely stretched. He tried to dig deep to infuse some ideas; at times sighed and sunk his head to his knees. Often he would turn away from the bowler, peer into the distance and scratch his ever-present 7-day stubble. But Rohit never gave up, he would shrug himself out of that worry-r...

[ad_1] Gujarat Titans had one hand on the IPL trophy with Chennai Super Kings needing 10 runs off the last two balls, when Jayant Yadav ran onto the field towards Mohit Sharma with a drink in hand. Defending 13 runs in the final over, the pacer had done an exceptional job till then. However, Mohit, who had nailed four perfect yorkers on the first four balls, missed his mark after the break and Titans were left heartbroken. Head coach Ashish Nehra was seen giving instructions to Jayant, who conveyed them to Mohit, but it seemed to have just the opposite effect. There was a break in the play for a brief period. On air, Kevin Pieterson questioned the tactic and said, “Is this disrupting momentum, Bish (Ian Bishop)? Disrupting momentum for Mohit Sharma having somebody onto the field? Should ...

‘The ball landed where it shouldn’t have and Jadeja got his bat. I tried, I tried my best’: Mohit Sharma on what happened in last six balls

[ad_1] With 13 runs required for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to register a thrilling win, Shivam Dube had one last conversation with Ravindra Jadeja. And in those late night crunch moments they told each other that they just need two big shots, and they would be through. “Last over we spoke and said that somehow we need two good shots. It could be two fours or two sixes. We had belief that we can’t lose from here on,” Dube told The Indian Express. The plan seemed perfect, it was a matter of two biggies which would see CSK lifting their fifth crown. In reality all planned things don’t always go the way they should though. Especially in big games between two quality oppositions. Hardik Pandya, skipper of Gujarat Titans, had kept the last over for his most trusted pacer and their man in form,...

IPL 2023: Ravindra Jadeja’s six and four off last two balls gives CSK fifth IPL title

[ad_1] A final that dragged on for three days, that was supposed to begin on Sunday evening but finished in the early hours of Tuesday, ended with Ravindra Jadeja smacking 10 runs off the last two balls of the game to claim CSK’s fifth IPL title. The rain-lag seemed endless but in the end it turned out to be a horribly gripping match on an uproarious night—or dawn?—that ended in crushing heartbreak for the Titans and pure and spontaneous joy for CSK. How CSK managed it in the end is astonishing and is hard to believe. But let us pick the game from the last over. MS Dhoni’s men required 14 off the last over to hunt down the revised target of 171 in 15 overs, not an insurmountable task. But Mohit Sharma began with an inch-perfect over and took the game to the last two balls. Nerves clang...

B Sai Sudharsan: From being retired out in last game to being a Titan in IPL final

[ad_1] Let us keep aside the 96 runs that B Sai Sudharsan ended up with on Monday for the time being. There is another significant context one has to factor in other than this innings in the Indian Premier League final. The tournament in its 16 years has seen superstars hog the limelight, and unheard-of players become household names overnight. It has seen several breathtaking knocks that have left millions awestruck. Even then, the 96 runs that the 21-year-old from Chennai scored against the team he supported growing up – Chennai Super Kings – would hold a special place. Now to the other significant context.
