ICC to persist with Duke balls despite past complaints for the WTC 2023 Finals

Image
The ICC will persist with duke ball for the finals of the world test championship between India and Australia. It has to be noted that in the past English summer, the softness of Duke has been a major talking point. The county championship bowlers have complained that the balls are softer than usual and lose form quickly. The India and Australia cricket teams will compete for the world test championship title from June 7 to 11 at the Oval stadium in London. The oval will serve as a neutral ground for both Australia and India because of the different balls being used there and the fact that conditions are not quite as favorable as they are at home.  India uses SG balls, while Australia's cricket team uses Kookaburra balls for home matches. The ball to be used by the ICC is determined by the host country for the event, and England will employ the Dukes ball. Last year, in the world tennis championship finals between India and New Zealand, which were played in England, the duke ball...

Image
 Sunrisers Hyderabad received a big setback as all-rounder Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League because of his hamstring injury. SRH confirmed this news on their official Twitter account and wished him a speedy recovery. Franchise will soon make May's replacement for Sundar for the remainder of the IPL season. Sundar was a key player for the team as he provided major breakthroughs with the ball and chipped in with handy contributions lower down the order. He played around 7 matches for the franchise, where he took three wickets and scored 60 runs. He formed a spin combination with Mayank Markande and helped restrict the opponents with his economical bowling. Sunrisers Hyderabad are going to take on the Delhi Capitals on April 29. They have already lost their home game to the Delhi Capitals, and Sundar was the pick of the bowlers as he took three wickets.

Furious Virat Kohli goes ballistic on his RCB teammates after facing defeat against KKR

Image
Batting icon Virat Kohli was very critical of his RCB teammates after facing defeat from Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing season of the IPL 2023 on Wednesday. While issuing an explosive statement after RCB faced their fourth defeat of the season at home, Virat openly admitted that Royal Challengers Bangalore handed the game to the visitors.  He blamed Bangalore’s sloppy fielding and soft dismissals for their recent defeat to the two-time champions in the 16th season of the cash-rich league. At the post-match presentation, Virat said, “To be honest, we handed over the game to them. We deserved to lose. We weren’t professional enough.  We bowled well, but our fielding was not up to standard. This was a freebie handed over to them. In the field, we dropped two chances that cost us 25–30 runs. When batting, we set ourselves up very well but then suffered four-to-five soft dismissals. Virat Kohli scored 54 runs in 34 balls to keep RCB in the hunt during the high-scoring match ...

Hardik Pandya's shocking update on Gujarat Titans fast bowler Yash Dayal

Image
The fast bowler of Gujarat Titans , Yash Dayal, has not featured in the Indian Premier League season 2023 after giving up 31 runs in the final over against Kolkata Knight Riders. He was taken to the cleaners by Rinku Singh, who smashed five sixes in the final five balls of the match, which led to the victory of KKR against GT. The defeat was quite unsettling for the youngster, and a lot of questions have been asked about his absence from the team since that game. On Tuesday, after defeating MI, Captain Hardik Pandya of GT gave an important update about Dayal and his availability. He said, "I can't confirm his chances of playing again this season. He fell ill and lost 7–8 kilos after that match. There was a spread of viral infection during that period, and also due to the pressure he had faced, his condition is presently not good enough to take the field. Someone's loss is someone's gain at the end of the day. It is going to take a long time before we see his availabil...

Jasprit Bumrah join a packed crowd at Narendra Modi Stadium to cheer on MI

Image
Both the Mumbai Indians and their fans were quite surprised as fast bowler   Jasprit Bumrah   was present at the Narendra Modi Stadium to cheer for the Mumbai Indians in their match against the Gujarat Titans. The Indian fast bowler is missing the entire season of the IPL 2023 after undergoing back surgery. The Mumbai Indians are certainly missing his services. Mumbai Indians gave a pleasant surprise to their fans when they posted a picture of Bumrah in front of the camera before the match got started with the caption reading, "BOOM BOOM... 𝗢𝗢𝗠… 𝘽𝙐𝙈𝙍𝘼𝙃.. The past few months have been quite hard for him as he missed a few series.

Bumrah is now back in India, where he continues to recover and undergo rehabilitation before taking the field again. Apart from missing the whole season of IPL 2023, ...

Top Indian athletes, including PV Sindhu, expect a strong showing at the Asia Championships

Image
Top Indian shutters, including double Olympic medalist  PV Sindhu , will look to establish their groove when the Asia Badminton Championships go off in Dubai on Wednesday. The qualifying rounds for the 40th edition of the famed continental championship began on Tuesday, with the main draw including all of the best players starting on Wednesday. India will face a difficult assignment in returning with a medal, given that the majority of the best players have struggled with rhythm and form this season. Dinesh Khanna won the only gold medal for India in ABC in 1965, and athletes like Sindhu, Prannoy, and Lakshya will need to compete at the top of their games to end the championship drought. India has won 17 medals overall at ABC. After a protracted injury layoff, Sindhu has showed some promise by making it all the way to the Madrid Spain Masters finals. The eighth-seeded Indian will look to bring it against Taiwanese opponent Wen Chi-hsu as she kicks off her season. Malvika Bansod, th...

Stand-in captain Virat Kohli breaches the IPL code of conduct again

Image
Once again, for the second game running, Virat Kohli has crossed the over-rate limit as a captain. Therefore, the IPL has levied another sanction on the superstar of Royal Challengers Bangalore after the game against the Rajasthan Royals. His teammates were also fined a portion of their match fees. According to an IPL statement, "Royal Challengers Bangalore, who had named Mr. Virat Kohli as their captain for their game against Rajasthan Royals, has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during their TATA Indian Premier League match against Rajasthan Royals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 23, 2023." "As it was his team’s second offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Mr. Kohli has been fined Rs. 24 lakh, and each member of the playing XI, including the impact substitute, is fined Rs. 6 lakh or 25 percent of the match fee, whichever is lesser." This is the second time this season...

Ponting deal breaker on Kohli-Tendulkar comparison on Master Blaster's 50th birthday

Image
Australian cricket legend Ricky Ponting has also shared his views on the never-ending debate involving Sachin and Virat. Tendulkar is called the god of cricket, whereas Kohli earns the tag of being a "modern-era great" because of his batting charts across all the formats of the game. Even Kohli himself believes that no one should be compared with Sachin. Speaking to Sanjana Ganesan on The ICC Review, Ponting admitted that Sachin Tendulkar was the best player of his generation. Ponting said that, "I've said forever that Sachin's technically the best batter that I've ever seen and played with or against." Whatever plan we came up with as a bowling group, he found a way to combat it, whether it was in India or Australia. It's hard to rank and judge players, as everyone is different and plays the game differently. "But certainly through the generation that I played, he was technically the best player that I saw." He also believed that Tendulka...

"We were on the luckier side today."  He further said that "we bowled well before and well this season." But the problem is the batting. We need to go back and look at ourselves and see how we can get better. Spinners bowled well. I know we have not played well and need to find a way to bat better. We w...
