NEW DELHI: Suryakumar Yadav‘s unbeaten half-century and Arshdeep Singh‘s career-best bowling figures of 4-9 propelled India to a seven-wicket victory over the United States in their Group A encounter at the T20 World Cup on Wednesday. The win secured India’s spot in the Super Eights round.India’s chase of the modest 111-run target was not without hiccups, as they found themselves in trouble at 15-2 and then 44-3. However, Yadav (50) and Shivam Dube (31) steadied the ship with an unbroken 67-run partnership for the fourth wicket, guiding their team to victory with 10 balls to spare. The United States, despite the loss, remain in a strong position to advance to the Super Eights alongside India, as they have four points, while Pakistan and Canada have two each.India’s top order struggled against Mumbai-born fast bowler Saurabh Netravalkar, who dismissed Virat Kohli for a golden duck and also accounted for Rohit Sharma‘s wicket. Rishabh Pant’s brief 18-run innings ended when Ali Khan rattled his stumps. Earlier, the United States got off to a disastrous start, losing two wickets to Arshdeep Singh in the first over, with the score reading 3-2. Captain Aaron Jones, who had scored an unbeaten 94 against Canada, managed only 11 runs before falling to Hardik Pandya. Steven Taylor (24) and Nitish Kumar (27) added 31 runs for the fourth wicket, but the latter was brilliantly caught by Mohammed Siraj off Arshdeep’s bowling. Corey Anderson, the former New Zealand all-rounder, scored 15 before being caught by Pant off Pandya, who completed a wicket-maiden. The United States managed to cross the 100-run mark thanks to contributions from Shadley van Schalkwyk (11) and Jasdeep Singh (2).India now join Australia and South Africa as the three teams to have secured their places in the next stage of the tournament.

Virat Kohli dismissed for first-ever golden duck at T20 World Cup vs USA, Rohit Sharma’s stunned reaction sums it up

Danijones5 months ago04 mins

Team India’s star batter Virat Kohli continued to endure poor run-scoring form at the ongoing T20 World Cup, as he was dismissed on a golden duck in the match against the USA on Wednesday. Saurabh Netravalkar, the former Indian cricketer who now plays for the United States, removed Kohli as he beat his outside edge for an easy caught-behind dismissal. Virat Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck against USA(Instagram/ICC) This is the first time Kohli was dismissed without opening his account in T20 World Cups, and the first time he registered a golden duck in the format (international matches). Now catch your favourite game on Crickit. Anytime Anywhere. Find out how Netravalkar, the left-arm pacer, gave Kohli enough width for the batter to stretch his arms and go for a drive through covers. However, he couldn’t middle the delivery as the ball picked a thick outside edge, carrying towards wicketkeeper Andries Gous for a simple catch. Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain who was standing at the other end, looked visibly disappointed after the dismissal. Watch: A couple of overs later, Rohit Sharma, too, fell prey to the same bowler, as a thick outside edge shot off high in the air before being caught inside the circle by Harmeet Singh. The Indian skipper was dismissed for 3. Arshdeep shines Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh delivered a career-best performance with figures of 4-9, including two wickets in the first over, as India held the USA to 110-8 in their T20 World Cup clash. Arshdeep also went past Ravichandran Ashwin to register the best figures by an Indian in the tournament’s history; Ashwin held the previous record with 4/11 figures against Australia in the 2014 edition. Despite the modest total, India remain cautious about chasing on the notoriously tricky and slow pitch at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, where they recently scored just 119 in a narrow six-run victory over Pakistan. A win in this match would secure India’s place in the second round Super Eights. Arshdeep’s early breakthroughs saw him dismiss recalled opener Shayan Jahangir lbw on the first ball and have Andries Gous caught in the deep five balls later, leaving the hosts at a precarious 3-2 after the opening over.

NEW DELHI: The value of the Indian Premier League (IPL) increased by 6.5 per cent, reaching USD 16.4 billion (approximately Rs 1,34,858 crore) in 2024, as reported by American investment bank Houlihan Lokey.The brand value of the lucrative T20 league saw a 6.3 per cent rise, climbing to USD 3.4 billion (around Rs 28,000 crore) year-on-year.The increase in IPL’s value is driven by a significant title sponsorship agreement with Tata Group, spanning five years from 2024 to 2028, worth roughly USD 300 million (Rs 2,500 crore). The Tata Group is paying about 50 per cent more than the previous deal of Rs 335 crore per season.“This significant investment, coupled with last year’s massive media rights auction, underscores the IPL’s status as a pivotal platform for esteemed brands seeking to enhance their value,” the report highlighted.Beyond major events like the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, and Cricket World Cup, the IPL is unique in its ability to engage over a billion people globally, extending its appeal beyond the Indian subcontinent.Brand value encompasses the monetary worth of intangible assets, including trade names and trademarks.Harsh Talikoti, Senior Vice President, Corporate Valuation Advisory Services, Houlihan Lokey, said “Today, the IPL commands widespread recognition, firmly entrenched as a household name with a robust brand recall among successive generations.” According to the report, IPL has been evaluated both as a legal business entity and as a brand. The assessment considered the standalone income and cash-generation potential of the IPL.The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) remain the most valued IPL franchise, while the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) experienced the highest annual growth.“There has been a significant increase in franchise revenue over the years, primarily driven by revenue from television rights, despite each team having sponsorship revenue ranging from USD 5-12 million. A major agreement was signed by Qatar Airways for around USD 9 million (Rs 75 crore) for a three-year contract with Royal Challengers Bengaluru,” the report said.Ranking second in terms of brand and business value is the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) with a worth of USD 227 million, followed by the Mumbai Indians (MI) with a brand value of USD 204 million.Rajasthan Royals (RR) secured the fifth position with a brand value of USD 133 million.“RR also had the majority of sponsors on their roster renewing their association, showcasing its attractiveness as one of the fastest-growing brands within the IPL ecosystem. These factors helped RR jump two places to the fifth spot,” it said.Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), with a brand value of USD 132 million, stands sixth on the list.“Having done exceptionally well at the auction and developing a new squad under the leadership of Pat Cummins, SRH managed to pick the stars of the recently concluded World Cup that contributed to the franchisees’ great performance,” the report said.Delhi Capitals, benefiting from the return of its captain and most marketable asset, Rishabh Pant, ranked seventh with a brand value of USD 131 million.The Gujarat Titans are ranked eighth with a brand value of USD 124 million. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings (PBKS) hold a brand value of USD 101 million, and Lucknow Super Giants have a brand value of USD 91.0 million, the report concluded.(With inputs from PTI)
