I am surprised with Hardik Pandya’s transformation: Sanjay Manjrekar | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar is mighty quite surprised with Hardik Pandya's transformation from just being a hard-hitting batter to emerging as one of the best all-rounders in the world who is also capable of leading teams. Pandya recently guided Gujarat Titans to IPL glory by leading from the front and showed his captaincy and all-round skills in ample measure during the white-ball series against Ireland. He then played crucial roles in India defeating the Jos Buttler-led England to clinch the T20I and ODI series. Manjrekar indicated that Gujarat Titans might have taken a huge risk by making Pandya skipper of the new IPL franchise, but the all-rounder has been a revelation, as he has not just marshalled his boys on the field, he has also played handy knocks and taken...

Shame that Delhi Capitals couldn’t make it to IPL final: Mitchell Marsh | Cricket News – Times of India

COLOMBO: Delhi Capitals all-rounder Mitchell Marsh feels that it's a "shame" that his team couldn't make it to the IPL final after losing the final league encounter to wooden spooners Mumbai Indians. DC's five-wicket defeat enabled Royal Challengers Bangalore to make it despite an inferior net run-rate throughout the tournament. "It was a shame we couldn't get into the (IPL) finals," the 30-year-old said here ahead of the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, beginning on June 7. Australia will meet Sri Lanka in a five-match ODI series.

Rohit Sharma: Unexpected season but unity in team will help Mumbai Indians bounce back, says Rohit Sharma | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma has conceded that it was an "unexpected season" for the five-time Indian Premier League champions, having finished last in IPL 2022, and added that "unity in the team" was the biggest takeaway as the side aims to find its winning ways next season.

Sunil Gavaskar feels Hardik Pandya has emerged as a contender for India captaincy | Cricket News – Times of India

AHMEDABAD: Impressed by Hardik Pandya's "leadership qualities" in IPL 15, batting legend Sunil Gavaskar feels the star all-rounder has emerged as a strong contender to lead the Indian team in near future. Making a comeback after a subdued outing in the T20 World Cup last year, Hardik captained Gujarat Titans to a memorable title triumph in a dream maiden IPL season, forcing those who gave the first-timers no chance before the tournament to eat humble pie. "Yes definitely. Not just my estimation, but everybody's estimation (Hardik's reputation as a leader has gone up). This was an aspect of his game which nobody had too much information about," Gavaskar told Star Sports. "When you have leadership qualities, it automatically opens the door for honours at the national level to be able to c...

IPL 2022: Rohit Sharma’s poor show left Mumbai Indians high and dry | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: His final innings in IPL 2022 summed up Rohit Sharma's worst season in the T20 league, both as a batsman and captain, in a nutshell. Needing 160 against the Delhi Capitals on Saturday night to salvage some pride in their last game of this edition, Mumbai Indians needed their captain, missing with the bat through the campaign, to come to the party, for once. However, all one saw was an out-of-form class batsman struggling to put bat to ball in his 13-ball two. The 35-year-old's misery ended when he chipped Anrich Nortje to Shardul Thakur at mid-on. Never before has the Mumbaikar -- easily amongst the top three white-ball batsmen in world cricket -- looked so ungainly, out-of-sorts and searching for answers. This is the first time that he finished an IPL without a single fifty - i...

Clinical knocks by MI batters on Saturday helped five-time champions in finishing their IPL 2022 campaign on a high as they defeated DC by 5 wickets here at Wankhede Stadium. "Ishan (Kishan) told me the wicket was getting flatter, it was holding a bit with the slower balls, but I just had to hold my shape and back my game, keep it simple. I got lucky with a couple of baby sixes, it is all about repetition and holding your shape," said Tim David in a post-match presentation.

IPL 2022, MI vs DC: Rohit Sharma not losing sleep over disappointing season, says one minor adjustment away from finding form | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma admitted that a lot of things didn't go his way with the bat but he is not losing sleep over his "disappointing" season as he is just one "minor adjustment" away from finding form again. Rohit endured his worst IPL season, failing to score a single half-century for the first time since his debut in the inaugural edition in 2008. The swashbuckling opener managed to score just 248 runs at an average of 19.14 and a strike rate of 120.17 in 14 outings. "A lot of things that I wanted to do didn't happen. I am very disappointed with me season. But this has happened with me earlier as well, so it's not something I am going through for the first time," Rohit said after MI's last match of the season on Saturday.

IPL 2022, MI vs DC: I felt Tim David nicked but others weren’t convinced so didn’t take review, says Rishabh Pant | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: A disappointed Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant on Saturday said he felt that Tim David had nicked the first delivery he faced, but didn't go for the review as most of his teammates inside the circle were not convinced, a decision which cost them a place in the IPL play-offs. Pant's decision to not review that turned out to be a blunder as David slammed 34 runs off just 11 balls with the help of two boundaries and four sixes to take the game out of DC's grasp. "I thought there was something but everyone standing in the circle was not convinced enough. So I was asking should we go up. At the end, I didn't take the review," Pant said after DC lost by five wickets to Mumbai Indians in their must-win final league game to exit the IPL. ❤️💙#YehHaiNayiDilli https://t.co/fEWT7Ublek— ...

IPL: MI knockout DC to give RCB playoff berth

Rishabh Pant would like to forget this game. First, he dropped a sitter of a skier off Kuldeep Yadav’s bowling to give Dewald Brevis a reprieve on 25. Shardul Thakur spared his captain’s blushes by removing the batsman a couple of overs later. Then, he had Tim David caught behind for a golden duck.
