While speaking at India Leadership Council Event, Sourav Ganguly, the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, remarked that the Indian Premier League is run by fans, which generates more revenue than the English Premier League, one of the prestigious football competitions in the world. The IPL has progressively grown leaps and bounds over the years, ever since its inception back in 2008. The most recent edition, which concluded only two weeks back, saw two new franchises – Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants – being added, making it a 10-team tournament, as was the case back in the 2011 edition. The Hardik…

South Africa bowlers put on a collective show to restrict India to 148/6, before Heinrich Klaasen stroked a 46-ball 81 to power his side to a comfortable four-wicket win in the second T20I in Cuttack on June 12. Heinrich Klaasen, one of South Africa’s two replacements in the game, played a game-defining knock. By the time he was dismissed for an 81 off 46 by Harshal Patel in the 17th over, the game was well and truly sealed for South Africa. He struck seven hits to the fence and five over it, never really offering India a chance to fight back after Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s early triple strikes. Credit:…

India fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has backed the team’s T20I captain Rishabh Pant following the seven-wicket defeat in the first of five T20Is in Delhi on Thursday. BCCI had announced KL Rahul as the captain for the five-match home T20I series against the Proteas before an untimely groin injury ruled the Lucknow Super Giants skipper out of the series. Rishabh Pant was then named as the captain, and the team suffered a seven-wicket defeat in the series opener, despite having posted a daunting 211/4 after being put in to bat. India had the game under control at the halfway stage of the opposition’s chase, with the…

Lucknow Super Giants mentor Gautam Gambhir lauded Avesh Khan for his rise in recent years, and wishes to see more of the same in near future. Avesh Khan has been a part of India’s growing fast-bowling strength in recent years, with his consistency in the Indian Premier League and in limited chances in India’s T20I setup. The right-arm quick bagged 24 wickets at 18.75 in Delhi Capitals’ run to the playoffs in IPL 2021, which helped him earn a maiden India cap not long after. In the mega auctions ahead of the IPL 2022 edition, he was roped in for a whopping INR 10 crores by LSG…

The third edition of the Lanka Premier League will be played between July 31 and August 21, as confirmed by Sri Lanka Cricket on June 11. The competition will continue featuring five teams, despite the speculation over another participant being added ahead of the third edition. The release further added that the registration of international players for the player draft “will commence shortly”. The tournament will retain its format, with a total of 24 games to be played. The five teams will play the other four twice each, with the top-four making the playoffs. As was the case last year, the R. Premadasa Stadium…

Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan was seen hugging a fan who invaded the pitch during the side’s second ODI against the West Indies on June 10. Fans invading a cricket field has been a common sight in recent times, with them being keen to get the best sight of their heroes. One such incident took place during the second ODI between Pakistan and West Indies in Multan on Friday. It occurred during the 39th over of the hosts’ innings, with all-rounders Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan at the crease. As Anderson Philip was ready to deliver the fourth ball of the over, a young spectator stepped onto…

Rishabh Pant said that his bowlers couldn’t quite execute their plans to perfection after South Africa successfully chased down India’s 211/4 in the first of five T20Is in Delhi on June 9. The Men in Blue set South Africa a daunting 212-run target, with each of their top-five making solid contributions. Ishan Kishan led the onslaught with a 48-ball 76 before skipper Rishabh Pant (29 off 16) and Hardik Pandya (31* off 12) ensured a strong finish. The hosts had the Proteas 92/3 by the end of the 11th over, with the required rate having crossed 13 and Rassie van der Dussen struggling for his timing.

The Ranji Trophy 2022 knockouts stage began last week, after the first part of the tournament had been played at the start of the year. Three of the four quarterfinals produced outright results, while Bengal and Jharkhand played out a draw, and the former progressed through on virtue of a first-innings lead. The phase saw players extending their glorious first-class run, none as significantly as Sarfaraz Khan and Shams Mulani, who currently lead the runs and wickets charts, respectively. Bengal vs Jharkhand Saurabh Tiwary, the Jharkhand skipper, would rue his decision to bowl first at the Just Cricket Academy, Bangalore for a long…

Harmanpreet Kaur, India’s regular T20I captain, was elevated to the leadership role in the ODI format after Mithali Raj announced her retirement from the international game on June 8. India’s next international assignment is the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, where they will play three T20Is in Dambulla followed by as many ODIs in Kandy. Veteran right-arm quick Jhulan Gosawmi was the most notable absentee in the ODI squad, and so were Jemimah Rodrigues and Sneh Rana. Harleen Deol, whose only ODI appearance dates back to 2019, has made the cut. She had finished the third-highest run-getter in the Senior Women’s One Day Challenger Trophy 2021-22,…

Josh Hazlewood bagged 4/16 before David Warner and skipper Aaron Finch put on an unbeaten 134-run opening stand to power Australia to a comprehensive 10-wicket win in the first T20I against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Tuesday, June 7. Openers Pathum Nissanka and Danushka Gunathalika got Sri Lanka off to a brisk 39-run start in 4.5 overs, with the latter playing the aggressor, striking three fours and a six during his 15-ball 26. Gunathalika became Hazlewood’s first victim, slicing one to Mitchell Marsh at deep backward point. Charith Asalanka then joined Nissanka for a 61-run stand, pacing the innings steadily, with 32 runs coming between overs 10-12. Just as the hosts looked…
