Breaking down MS Dhoni's strange innings against PBKS | Crickit

Breaking down MS Dhoni’s strange innings against PBKS | Crickit

Danijones07 mins

MS Dhoni holds a copyright over making late entries count. Mumbai Indians were handed a lesson in that when Dhoni smacked three sixes in a four-ball 20. Next match, Lucknow Super Giants conceded 28 off nine. A 16-ball 37* against Delhi Capitals should have ideally topped both these efforts but Dhoni probably waited too long to kickstart that assault as CSK ultimately lost by 20 runs. Wednesday’s innings was weird though. Chennai Super Kings’ MS Dhoni plays a shot(AFP) Dhoni wasn’t saddled with a chase. The pitch wasn’t easy either. But with CSK’s innings evidently shaping to end sub-par, Dhoni turned down an opportunity to run two. A miscued slice prompted Daryl Mitchell to hare almost to the other end of the pitch when Dhoni asked him to go back. Maybe Dhoni wasn’t fit enough to run two, or perhaps he felt he could convert the remaining three balls better than Mitchell. Either way, that call couldn’t be justified as Dhoni ended up hitting only one six. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! But that’s not the only strange thing about Dhoni’s innings. Not being able to put away Rahul Chahar’s leg-breaks in the earlier over had a domino effect on CSK’s innings—Moeen Ali getting bowled off the fourth ball prompting a strange passage of play that made Dhoni look woefully out-of-touch, like he has rarely been before. Chahar’s line was the key here, making Dhoni reach out every time he bowled to him. Being a heavily bottom-handed batter, Dhoni has never quite mastered the art of mastering the off-side. So, by channelling wide outside the off stump, Chahar ensured that Dhoni didn’t get enough bat under the ball. “I didn’t want to bowl it fuller to him, he hits it well if you push it fuller,” said Chahar after CSK’s innings ended. That Arshdeep Singh was given a similar brief in the 20th over was evident in the way he was targeting wide outside Dhoni’s arc. Only one low full toss clobbered for a boundary out of the first four balls is good enough for any last over, especially against Dhoni. Sixteen runs off the last two overs, thus, was a rare day of success against CSK despite Dhoni taking the bulk of the strike. In hindsight, CSK’s batting shuffles may not have done Dhoni any favour, what with Mitchell being demoted to No 8 from No 3. Supplanting Ajinkya Rahane with Sameer Rizvi as Impact Player too flopped as he could score only 21 off 23 balls. That, at a time when CSK didn’t hit a single boundary for 55 balls—the longest stretch this season—perhaps was too large a pretext for Dhoni to react the way he normally does. More, probably because CSK aren’t getting their batting in order, the struggle being more evident after Shivam Dube got a duck and Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed cheaply before the halfway mark. “So, if you get to six overs, that’s the perfect time for him (Dube) to come in,” said CSK coach Stephen Fleming after their seven-wicket defeat. “The next thing is with left-right (combination), we want Jadeja to come in and take them (the spinners) on as well. But they bowled well. The Rizvi one, we will discuss a little bit more, may go the other way around with that one but again he’s positive and his ability to hit sixes in training has certainly been good. But there’s a temperament part of that as well that young players need to learn. So we have got a bit of information from that. “The casualty was Mitchell going down the order. What we learnt from the first part of the tournament was that if it goes too low, there are other players—Moeen Ali and MS—who can push the game along. So the window closes there but it was very much getting the tactics right for what we wanted to do in the middle. And that was to break their spinners up but they won that competition.”

England’s Sophie Ecclestone break 21-year-old all-time record in ODIs – India TV

Danijones03 mins

Image Source : GETTY Sophie Ecclestone England’s left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone entered the record books in the third and final ODI against Pakistan played on May 28 (Wednesday) played at the County Ground in Chelmsford. She picked up three wickets for just 15 runs and completed 100 wickets in the ODI format in the 64th match of her already glorious career. She reached the landmark of 100 scalps in the format in 63 innings becoming the fastest ever to the milestone in Women’s cricket. This record earlier belonged to Australia’s Cathryn Fitzpatrick who had completed a century of wickets in the 50-over format in 64 innings back in February 2003.  Sophie is world’s number one ODI and T20I bowler at the moment and at the age of only 25, she has already played 64 ODIs and 81 T20Is accounting for more than 100 wickets in both formats. Thanks to her spell, in the third ODI against Pakistan, England comfortably defended the 302-run total winning the match by a massive margin of 178 runs. In fact, it was a collective effort from England’s bowling unit as well with Lauren Bell and Nat-Sciver Brunt accounting for a couple of wickets each too.  Fastest to 100 ODI wickets in women’s cricket Player Innings taken to complete 100 wickets Sophie Ecclestone (England) 63 Cathryn Fitzpatrick (Australia) 64 Megan Schutt (Australia) 66 Jess Jonassen (Australia) 67 Shabnim Ismail (South Africa) 68 Overall, Ecclestone picked up six wickets, the highest in the series by any bowler and won the player of the series award for her efforts. As for the match, Nat-Sciver won the player of the match award for smashing an unbeaten 124 off 117 balls that helped the hosts put behind a relatively slow start (70/3 in 14th over) and post a total in excess of 300 runs in their 50 overs.  In response, apart from Muneeba Ali (47) and Aliya Riaz (35), none of the Pakistan batters could even cross the 15-run mark as they crumbled for only 124 runs in the 30th over of the innings. Pakistan’s tour of England concluded with zero wins for the visiting side even as England batted first in all the matches (3 T20Is and 2 ODIs with one match getting washed out).

IND vs USA Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: India eye a spot in Super Eights, face United States in New York

Danijones08 mins

India vs United States T20 WC Live Score: India’s batting prima donnas would want to unchain themselves from the vagaries of a much-maligned drop-in track and chance their arms freely against an impressive-but-inexperienced USA in their group league game of the T20 World Cup here on Wednesday. India, who are classified as A1 (irrespective of points), need just one more win to ensure their Super Eight berth and despite the two-paced nature of the Nassau County track, they wouldn’t like a repeat of the match against Pakistan where they lost their last seven wickets for 28 runs. Against USA, the approach could be a high-risk one like Pakistan but perhaps with higher dividends. Their dreams of wearing the India blues remained unfulfilled but when a sprightly bunch of Indian Americans take the field against their country of birth, the likes of Saurabh Netravalkars and Harmeet Singhs would once again like to be the proverbial David against the Goaliaths of the game. Even though the track has significantly bridged the gap between teams, the USA, which is an eclectic mix of eight Indians, two Pakistanis, a West Indian, one New Zealander, a South African and a Dutch might just find the gulf with India too much to bridge. Neither have they grabbed air time on American channels nor the famous broadsheets have been devoting any newsprint on them even after the Super Over win over Pakistan but Wednesday could just be the day when the country of their choice takes note of their performance. Monank Patel, Harmeet, Netravalkar, Jessy Singh and Noshtush Kenjige all have their little Indian story to tell and if the opposition has Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant in its ranks, it would be a touch more endearing. It’s not everyday that one gets a chance to bowl at Kohli and Sharma and face Bumrah even if it’s far from being a sweet experience. But it’s experience nevertheless and that too of a lifetime. For India, it will be their last match in the ‘Big Apple’ extension and the one where they wouldn’t mind batting first. If India bowl first, there could be a high chance that USA might not be able to touch the three-figure mark against Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja. There will be some beautiful and emotional sub-plots as well if Netravalkar gets a chance to bowl to his former Mumbai teammate Suryakumar Yadav with whom he played in Mumbai U-15, Ranji and Vijay Hazare Trophy. “It will be an emotional moment to play against India and especially Surya as we go back a long way,” Netravalkar told PTI recently. For the two left-arm spinners Harmeet and Kenjige, the challenge of trying to keep Rishabh Pant quiet will be of altogether different level. Both Harmeet and Kenjige will try to maintain dart-like accuracy but that could well be dismantled by Pant, who is sure to use his feet. For Ali Khan, his extra pace and the bounce that he extracts from even benign surfaces would certainly provoke Rohit to use his pull shot frequently. There would be Nitish Kumar, who could be cheeky with his shot selection and prove to be a thorn in India’s flesh. Shivam Dube and an extra spinner In the first game, India’s weakest link was Shivam Dube. The Chennai Super Kings’ most valued ‘Impact Player’ is finding it tough on two-paced tracks where the ball is gripping and coming late onto the bat. But unlike tactician-par-excellence Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who could bench him during CSK’s bowling in the IPL, national skipper Rohit Sharma doesn’t have such luxury and needs to hide him in areas of the field where the ball is expected to travel less. Dube is a monstrous hitter of spinners on good flat decks and his military medium seam-up stuff does give the Indian skipper cushion to manoeuvre with the bowling combination. But in a format like T20, the team management, which asked for Dube at the expense of Rinku Singh, would want him to come good. Else, there is Yashasvi Jaiswal in the 15, who is a way more rounded batter than the big-bodied Mumbaikar. Two wrist spinners, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, should be given some game time or else they might just enter the Super Eights a bit undercooked in the Caribbean where the pitches will be more spin-friendly. SQUADS: India: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj. United States: Monank Patel (c), Aaron Jones, Andries Gous, Corey Anderson, Ali Khan, Harmeet Singh, Jessy Singh, Milind Kumar, Nisarg Patel, Nitish Kumar, Noshtush Kenjige, Saurabh Nethralvakar, Shadley Van Schalkwyk, Steven Taylor, Shayan Jahangir.

Kuldeep Yadav has a strike-rate of 18.33 in the 2023 Asia Cup and the wrist spinner is our tip for India’s top wicket taker in this game.Kusal Mendis hit 91 runs from 87 balls against Pakistan and the keeper-batter is our pick for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer against India. With the ball, Dunith Wellalage has taken 10 wickets at an average of 17.20 in this campaign and the spinner is a strong choice for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker on Sunday.With best figures of 5-25 in in the tournament so far, we recommend backing Kuldeep Yadav to take over 1.5 wickets in this match.

IND vs SL Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Final Asia Cup 2023 The final of the 2023 Asia Cup sees India and Sri Lanka go head to head on Sunday afternoon in Colombo at the R.Premadasa Stadium. India finished top of the Super Fours with four points and a net-run-rate of 1.753. Sri Lanka come into this final looking to retain the trophy they won in 2022. Read on as we preview this fixture. The final gets underway at 15:00 local time. India were beaten with a changed side by Bangladesh on Friday but we expect them to be back to full strength in this match. It will not be easy but they have the players to win this game and win the competition. Sri Lanka qualified for the final with a 2 wicket win over Pakistan on Thursday when at one stage it looked like the game had gone. They will come into this match believing they can win from any position. IND vs SL Match Toss PredictionThe three times a skipper chose to bat first in the Super Fours yielded only one victory and we predict that both captains will want to field first ahead of this match. IND vs SL Pitch ReportAlthough this can look like a good batting wicket at times, there is assistance from the pitch for the bowlers and overhead conditions which also assist the swing bowlers. The pitch at R.Premadasa Stadium is currently offering a good track for the bowlers. The pitch slows down as the match progresses, making it difficult to bat on in the 2nd half of the game. The average innings score is around 265. Colombo Weather ReportThe Colombo weather forecast is similar to what we have seen throughout the Super Fours with high humidity and a chance of rain interrupting play from time to time.

Picture Perfect! Sachin Tendulkar hugs MS Dhoni after MI-CSK match | Cricket News

Danijones02 mins

NEW DELHI: Irrespective of the match result in the IPL, the players’ camaraderie of the opposition camps often takes center stage. One such moment emerged after the Mumbai Indians-Chennai Super Kings match at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.The two legends of the game, former CSK captain MS Dhoni and MI mentor Sachin Tendulkar were seen hugging each other graciously after the match.CSK put an end to MI’s home winning streak and secured their first away victory in this IPL season. Defending a total of 206 runs, they relied on superb defensive bowling. Matheesha Pathirana shone brightly, leading the charge with figures of 4 for 28 in his four overs.Despite Rohit Sharma’s magnificent unbeaten 105, Mumbai Indians fell short by 20 runs as they attempted to chase down a formidable target set by defending champions CSK in a clash between IPL giants.Even though Rohit raised his century off 61 balls, Mumbai concluded their innings at 186-6, unable to overhaul the target at their home ground, Wankhede Stadium. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and the in-form Shivam Dube powered Chennai, who won their fifth title last year, to 206-4. Gaikwad hit 69 and Dube smashed an unbeaten 66 before warhorse MS Dhoni smashed three successive sixes in the 20th over to take Chennai past 200.Dhoni came in to bat with four balls left and scored 20. He smashed Mumbai skipper Hardik Pandya for three sixes and finished with a two to end a 26-run over.

IPL-17: RCB vs SRH | Headaches a plenty for Royal Challengers as it hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad

Royal Challengers Bengaluru players celebrate a wicket during an IPL match. Their bowlers will be under as the team faces Sunrisers Hyderabad in Bengaluru on April 15. | Photo Credit: Emmanual Yogini Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Faf du Plessis has nowhere to turn. His bowlers concede runs aplenty, and his batters have failed to get going. When RCB takes on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 15, only an exceptional individual performance can save the home team from a fifth straight loss. RCB’s primary concern is the bowling unit, which in the opinion of du Plessis, lacks potent weapons. It is down to the batters to get a massive total and keep the side in the hunt, du Plessis said after a crushing loss against Mumbai Indians. If only it was that simple. The RCB batters share as much blame as the bowlers, as Virat Kohli & Co. have failed to get the team to the 200-run mark so far this season. Kohli has been scoring runs by the heap, but this has not helped the team cause. Dinesh Karthik has provided some cheer with his late hits, and RCB may be tempted to promote the 38-year-old up the order. RCB will find it hard to contain the explosive SRH batters. South African Heinrich Klaasen and opener Abhishek Sharma, second and third respectively on the list of players with the most number of sixes for the tournament, illustrate SRH’s aggressive intent. SRH will be encouraged by the confidence shown by uncapped Nitish Kumar Reddy, who smashed a 37-ball 64 against Punjab Kings to give the unit a second straight win.
