After being asked to bat first, RR openers set up a solid platform as the Sanju Samson-led side were 140/2 in 16 overs. However, Jasprit Bumrah’s death bowling masterclass restricted them to just 171 before Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 70 and Krunal Pandya’s 39 took MI home with ease. Mumbai Indians got back to winning ways as they recorded a comfortable seven-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals and consolidated their position at No. 4 on the points table. The defending champions came into this encounter with a win-loss record of 1-5 against RR, but that barely had any impact on Rohit…

A collective effort from the bowlers helped DC restrict KKR to just 154/6, and that was despite a blitz from Andre Russell at the death. Chasing under eight runs an over, Prithvi Shaw completely decimated the KKR attack as he smashed his way to 82 and helped Delhi romp home with 21 balls to spare. Delhi Capitals shrugged off their one-run loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore in style as they recorded a thumping seven-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders. It was a brutal knock by Prithvi Shaw that completely killed the run-chase, and the KKR bowlers had no answers to…

RCB now have 5 wins in their six matches so far and are currently placed second on the points table. On the other hand, PBKS lost their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, after a poor batting performance. PBKS have managed to win only two out of their six matches so far, and will need to win a few consecutive games…

Sunil Gavaskar was in total praise of AB de Villiers after the South African smashed a match-winning 75 not out for RCB in their game against DC. Moreover, the legendary Indian batsman opined that de Villiers should open the batting for RCB and bat for 20 overs. AB de Villiers has been in magnificent form. Out of the six matches that he has played in this IPL 2021, the South African superstar has already played three match-winning knocks for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He has aggregated 204 runs at an average of 68.00 and a strike-rate of 174.36 this season.…

David Warner and Manish Pandey scored half-centuries for SRH, but Warner got stuck in the middle and couldn’t get going. It was Kane Williamson’s 10-ball 26 that took SRH to 171/3. However, it was an under-par score and the CSK openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis smashed fifties to guide CSK to their fifth win. CSK are on a roll and seem unstoppable at the moment. Once again, they were in top gear as they brushed aside the SRH challenge with ease. They strolled through their run-chase of 172 and recorded their fifth consecutive win to move to the top…

Once again, AB de Villiers (75*) bailed RCB out and took them to a par total of 171. With the ball, RCB started well and reduced DC to 47/3. However, it was Shimron Hetmyer’s unbeaten 53 that almost took Delhi over the line. It was another humdinger and a nerve-wracking finish. On most days, you would back Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer to finish the job, especially when it’s 25 of the last two and 14 in the final over. However, some really good execution at the death from Harshal Patel and Mohammed Siraj ensured Royal Challengers Bangalore just about…

Zimbabwe have made a slew of changes to their Test squad and have announced a 16-man squad to face Pakistan in a two-match Test series. Luke Jongwe, Richard Ngarava, Roy Kaia, Milton Shumba and Tanaka Chivanga are the five uncapped players that have been named in the squad.

Reece Topley revealed that new cut-off dates for the County players denied him the opportunity to become an injury replacement for this season’s IPL. He said that he would’ve liked to go to the IPL but the new rules meant he had to stay back with Surrey. A new cut-off date has been put in place for the County players if they are to be signed as replacements in the Indian Premier League. It was this very rule that denied Reece Topley to fly in as a replacement player. Back in 2018, the England pace-bowling trio of Liam Plunkett, David…
