MS Dhoni News: MS Dhoni confirms he will play IPL next year to bid farewell to CSK fans | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: Iconic two-time World Cup winning India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Friday said he will "definitely" play in the IPL next year as not doing so would be "unfair" to the city after which the Chennai Super Kings is named and which treats him like its own. With this, the 40-year-old Dhoni put to rest speculations around his participation in the lucrative league next season. "Definitely, I will play next year. It would be unfair not to say thank you to Chennai, to not play in Chennai. It won't be nice to the CSK fans," Dhoni said at the toss for CSK's final match of the ongoing season, against Rajasthan Royals. Y. E.

IPL gives India more finishing options in Dinesh Karthik and Rahul Tewatia | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: IPL form can't be the sole criteria for a national call-up but Dinesh Karthik and Rahul Tewatia with their stellar shows as finishers for their respective franchises have certainly made a strong case for themselves in the coming months leading up to the T20 World Cup. The ICC event in Australia is still more than four months away but the selectors and team management will soon have to decide on their core group of players, starting with the five match home series against South Africa next month. The finisher's job is only gaining significance in the power-packed modern game and the Indian team is definitely in need of players who can go ballistic from ball one. In the absence of Hardik Pandya due to fitness issues, the Indian team management tried out Deepak Hooda and Venkate...

IPL 2022, CSK vs MI: With Jadeja out, Mumbai Indians look to pack off Chennai Super Kings | Cricket News – Times of India

On the face of it, there's nothing much to this prestige fixture of the IPL. But Mumbai Indians, who are in the middle of their worst season in IPL, have one strong motivation - sending arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings packing. CSK, with four wins from 11 games, will be eliminated as it is if both Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers (now on 14) reach 16 points. But given the nature of T20 cricket, there's no guarantee that both the teams will reach that mark and there is still a sense of hope among CSK fans that one team may make it to Play-offs with seven wins. CSK's predicament should give Rohit Sharma's boys the determination to give their best in this IPL Clasico and extinguish that flicker of hope of their bitter rivals. The fact that CSK will be without Ravindra Jadeja, who is n...

Rift rumours culled, CSK CEO says Ravindra Jadeja released ‘on medical advice’

Chennai Super Kings have released Ravindra Jadeja, with the all-rounder heading back home. The franchise CEO Kasi Viswanathan told The Indian Express that this was done purely “on medical advice” after a rib injury ruled Jadeja out of the rest of the IPL. CSK, on eight points, still have three group league matches remaining in the tournament. On Wednesday, CSK’s Instagram handle reportedly unfollowed Jadeja, sparking rumours of a rift, that all is not well between the player and the franchise. Jadeja relinquished CSK captaincy mid-season after his team made a poor start to the tournament. Viswanathan, however, insisted that there was no fallout. “Social media, I absolutely do not follow anything. I have no knowledge of what is going on there.

Ravindra Jadeja ruled out of remainder of IPL 2022, goes home with rib injury | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Senior India and Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was on Wednesday ruled out of the remainder of the IPL due to a rib injury, days after quitting the leadership role. "Ravindra Jadeja won't be playing CSK's next two games as he has suffered a rib cage injury. He has already gone home," CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan told PTI. Jadeja apparently didn't play the match against Delhi Capitals due to an upper body injury, sustained during an earlier match against the RCB. Jadeja, who captained CSK in the first eight games, had a forgettable season as all he could manage was just 116 runs at an average of 20 in 10 games and only five wickets at an economy rate of 7.51. While the official reason being given for Jadeja's unavailability is injury, sources tracking developments...

IPL 2022: Dinesh Karthik dares to dream, but will selectors oblige? | Cricket News – Times of India

Finisher's astounding form for RCB has led to calls for his inclusion in Team India's T20 World Cup squad for Australia later this yearJust a few months ago when India were playing a Test series in England, Dinesh Karthik was commentating for the official broadcasters. Following his success at the com box, when TOI asked him whether he would follow it up next season as well, Karthik said: "I will, if it doesn't interfere with my cricket. My dream is to still play for India." At that point, that dream seemed a little far-fetched. But following his exploits with the bat in this IPL for Royal Challengers Bangalore, a spot in the T20 World Cup squad in Australia in October-November doesn't look like a distant dream anymore. Karthik has been in outstanding form in this IPL, batting at a stri...

‘I’m not concerned’: Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming on Ravindra Jadeja’s poor form | Cricket News – Times of India

PUNE: Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming is not too concerned about the form of Ravindra Jadeja but said going forward, the team will evaluate which position in the batting order best suits the star all-rounder. In the 10 matches this season, Jadeja has scored just 116 runs at an average of 19.33 in 10 games, while taking five wickets at an economy rate of 7.52. On Wednesday, Jadeja was dismissed for three as CSK went down by 13 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore, their seventh loss overall. "No, I am not concerned. The T20 game can be tough and when you are batting at No 5 or 6, you do not get a lot of time to get your rhythm or tempo," Fleming said during a virtual press conference.

IPL 2022: Captaincy pressure was affecting Ravindra Jadeja’s game, says CSK skipper MS Dhoni | Cricket News – Times of India

PUNE: Talismanic Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels the pressure and demand of captaincy took a toll on Ravindra Jadeja and affected the all-rounder's mind, resulting in his below-par outing in Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) colours in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Jadeja was anointed as CSK skipper for the ongoing season after Dhoni decided to step aside, but the all-rounder failed to cope with the pressure and eventually gave up the job, forcing the franchise to fall back on their most trusted lieutenant. Back at the helm of affairs, Dhoni produced instant results as CSK notched up a 13-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad to keep themselves afloat in the tournament.

IPL 2022: Aye, aye, captain! How the 10 skippers have fared so far this season | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: They say a captain is only as good as his or her team. But as the leader, it's up to the skipper to lead from the front. So how have the 10 captains of the 10 IPL teams been doing in season 15 so far in terms of their individual performances? Remember we have quite a few first time captains. While some of the captains of the 10 franchises have been outperforming on individual levels, and that has reflected in their teams' overall performances as well, there are a few skippers who have not lived up to their reputations and that has in turn played a role in the downfall of their sides, at least in the first half of the tournament. With the inclusion of two new franchises, the IPL this year has become more competitive than ever before and with each passing match, the race for a ...
