IPL-17 | Punjab Kings continues to rule Chennai Super Kings

Punjab Kings’s Jonny Bairstow plays a shot during a match against Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League 2024 at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on May 1, 2024. Photo: X/@IPL via ANI Punjab Kings spinners Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar’s miserly spell during the middle overs set the foundation for their side’s seven-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings at the MAC Stadium on Wednesday. Opting to bowl first, PBKS restricted CSK to just 162 for seven as the spinners squeezed the runs dry without conceding a single boundary. Chasing 163, cameos from Jonny Bairstow 46 (30b, 7×4, 1×6) and Rilee Rossouw (43, 23b, 5×4, 2×6) ensured PBKS got its fifth straight win over the five-time champion. It was not an ideal start when CSK set out to defend the modest total, as Deepak Chahar limped off in pain on his run-up after two balls into the innings. Despite losing Prabhsimran Singh early, Bairstow and Rossouw quickly put the pressure back on the Super Kings bowlers as they added 64 for the second wicket. Rossouw straight drove and pulled Richard Gleeson before finding two more boundaries off Mustafizur Rahman in the next over. The Chennai side’s only chance to stage a fightback was with its spinners, especially in the absence of the in-form Matheesha Pathirana (niggle) and Tushar Deshpande (illness). But Bairstow smashed Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali for four boundaries and a six. Though both missed their half-centuries, Sam Curran and Shashank Singh guided their side home without further trouble. Earlier, Super Kings started strongly and got to 55 for no loss at the end of the PowerPlay. But what followed was a phase of play that is unthinkable in modern-day T20 cricket, as the hosts failed to score a single boundary off the bat for 55 deliveries. Brar (two for 17) and Rahul (one for 13) sent in seven overs during this phase on a two-paced pitch that offered some turn for the tweakers. Left-arm spinner Brar struck twice in the eighth over, slowing it down to have Rahane caught in the deep and then trapped Shivam Dube leg-before. If not for Ruturaj’s grinding knock (62, 48b, 5×4, 2×6), CSK would not have reached the total it did. But with dew settling, it was never going to be enough.

Distinguished Football Coach TK Chathunni Dies At 75

File image of TK Chathunni Former Kerala footballer TK Chathunni, who made a name for himself as a renowned coach, died on Wednesday at the age of 75 in Kochi following a brief illness, the All India Football Federation said. He is survived by his wife and two daughters. He was a top-rated defender during the 1960s and 1970s and also played for India during the Merdeka Tournament 1973 in Kuala Lumpur. Having featured in six international matches for India, he also played for clubs like EME Centre (Secundrabad), Vasco Club (Goa) and Orkay Mills (Mumbai), besides also featuring for Services in the National Football Championship for the Santosh Trophy. But it was in coaching where he made a name for himself, having credited for unearthing talents like former greats IM Vijayan, Bruno Coutinho and Jo Paul Anchery among others. As a coach, he helped Mohun Bagan win their maiden national league title, then NFL, during the 1997-98 season. He also holds the distinction of coaching highest number of clubs in the country including that of FC Kochin, Salgaocar FC, Dempo Sports Club and Churchill Brothers. He coached Kerala Santosh Trophy team, Kerala Police among others. Describing Chathunni as a top class coach, AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey said: “Chathunni was a dependable defender and later a top-class coach. I extend my sincerest condolences to his family at this time of sorrow.” AIFF acting secretary general M Satyanarayan stated: “TK Chathunni was a reputed footballer of his time and continued to inspire footballers of later generations with his coaching. His death has created a void in Indian football.” (This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.) Topics mentioned in this article

    ‘Best example of nepotism’: Pakistan’s Azam Khan brutally roasted after another flop show | Cricket News

    NEW DELHI: Pakistan’s keeper-batter Azam Khan was in the line of fire on Thursday after his side succumbed to a crushing seven-wicket defeat in the fourth and final T20I against England at the Oval. Azam, who scored a five-ball duck and then dropped a couple of sitters behind the stumps drew flak on social media as his torrid run with both bat and gloves continued.The 25-year-old has had a string of low scores recently and has been poor behind the stumps as well and after his dull outing in Pakistan’s final T20I game before the T20 World Cup, questions over his selection and spot in the side were raised on social media. With the defeat, Pakistan lost the T20 series 2-0 as the first and third games in Leeds and Cardiff were washed out. England, on the other hand, now will head into the defense of its T20 World Cup title on the back of a series win over Pakistan. In the final game, after restricting Pakistan to 157 all out, England powered to its target with 27 balls remaining largely thanks to Phil Salt’s 45 and captain Jos Buttler’s 39 in their opening stand of 82 off 38 balls. The T20 World Cup staged jointly in the United States and the Caribbean starts Saturday, with England’s opening match against Scotland in Barbados on Tuesday and Pakistan playing for the first time on June 6 against the US.

India have already got the series secured and they will want to give opportunities to other players in the squad to ensure they get the most benefit from this three-match series. Even if they do make multiple changes, we will still expect them to win. Although they have lost the series already, there were positives for Afghanistan in the second T20I.

    SRH Stars Irritated By Over-Enthusiastic Fans, Social Media Blasts IPL Franchise For Security Risk. Watch

    A video of over-enthusiastic fans mobbing SunRisers Hyderabad stars Heinrich Klaasen and Jaydev Unadkat is going viral on social media. The team is currently in great form in the IPL 2024 and are fourth in the points table. Sunrisers, in this edition of the IPL, have been a force to reckon with. Their power-hitting, thanks to the likes of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, have made them set new records. They now have the record of highest total in IPL history. In the video which is going viral on social media, it can be seen that the SRH duo are not quite amused by the fans, as they pushed them. Absolute madness! Poor Klaassen getting harassed by the crowd… But how did SRH management allow such a huge number of fans without any safety precautions? pic.twitter.com/B5pECptXDz — Vipin Tiwari (@Vipintiwari952_) May 4, 2024 The craze for Heinrich Klaasen in India. pic.twitter.com/HNluV65fn6 — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) April 30, 2024 Meanwhile, Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson hailed young Indian uncapped all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, saying that he is one of his favourite players to watch and lauded his dominance over the experienced spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin against Rajasthan Royals (RR).Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) youngster Nitish’s climb-up during this IPL continued as he fired a quickfire 76* in 42 balls, with three fours and eight sixes. SRH secured a one-run win over RR at Hyderabad despite fifties from Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal on Thursday. Speaking to the JioCinema after the game, Watson said about Nitish, “Yeah, he is becoming one of my favourite cricketers to watch for sure. For a young man to be able to exert his dominance on a spin bowling attack, especially of Yuzi Chahal and Ashwin and some of the shots, in fact all of the shots that he played tonight were of a rare quality. For a young man to have that skill development at such a young age and to execute under pressure against the best bowlers in the world.” Watson called the SRH youngster a “special talent” that has once again found its way to stardom because of the IPL, a league known to bring “young Indian hyper-skilled cricketers” to limelight. “He is a very special talent. So, like it happens with the IPL, every single year, there is always a couple of young Indian hyper-skilled cricketers that come through and burst onto the scene and that is the reason why Indian cricket has got an abundance of talent that is always gonna be found through and Nitish Reddy is one of those,” Watson added.
