Ravindra Jadeja wins over the fans, time to call him Chinna Thala

Image
Ravindra Jadeja did what Dhoni had done for CSK for all these years. (IPL/BCCI) Ravindra Jadeja was not the highest run-getter of the IPL final that saw Chennai Super Kings complete the Penta, nor did he take the most wickets. He didn't even hit the maximum sixes or fours in the last-ball thriller that Gujarat Titans lost. The all-rounder wasn't the player of the match nor did he take home any of the many awards handed to the season's stand-out performers. But in the wee hours of an IPL final that stretched to three days, Jadeja achieved something that was way more precious and lasting - he won the trust of the fans and faith of the terraces. CSK will always remember Jadeja for the game where he scored just 15 runs and had figures of 1/38. Chennai Super Kings bowler Ravindra Jadeja.

Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra condemned the detention of wrestlers including Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia on Sunday, saying that he was saddened to see the visuals of police being forceful with the protesters. "यह देखकर मुझे बहुत दुख हो रहा है | (I feel saddened to see this) There has to be a better way to deal with this," he wrote on Twitter.

Sachin Tendulkar heaps praises on Akash Madhwal. (YouTube/Mumbai Indians) Mumbai Indians mentor and Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar congratulated the team on winning the Eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday, singling out player of the match Akash Madhwal for special praise. "Incredible, Madhwal. Continue the good work," he said as he talked about the contributions of everyone in the team. "This is the best gift I can get for my anniversary. Greeny and Surya's partnership set the platform for us. 182 on this big ground, was a good total. The wicket played differently compared to the last game, but when we went out to field, it was as if we were defending 145. That kind of fielding standards were set. It was incredible," Tendulkar said during his dressing room speech.

MI defeat LSG. (AP) Many strings in his bow Wagging his left index finger furiously in the air, Akash Madhwal sprinted towards the stumps he had shattered to pick his fifth wicket of the night. Ishan Kishan climbed onto him, other ruffled his hair, as Mumbai Indians celebrated wildly. After the celebrations were over, he emerged from the huddle with a tired but happy face, his hair disheveled and his name ringing in the stands. The fifth wicket was achieved in a fitting manner, with a yorker, the mastery of which made his famous. But while picking up the five-wicket haul, he showed he was not just a yorker-merchant. Nicholas Pooran was foxed by a delicious out-swinger from around the wicket, angling into him and shaping away; Ayush Badoni was castled with a sharp nip-backer, Prerak Mankad deceived by one that straightened off the seam after pitching, Chis Jordan was beaten for pace.

When Roger Federer was asked by a fan: ‘Can I have a picture with you Mr Nadal?’

Rafael Nadal (left) and Roger Federer at the Laver Cup tournament. (AP) Tennis legend Roger Federer did an Ask Me Anything on Twitter late in the night on Tuesday, which saw him opening up on several issues, including the time he was mistaken for Rafael Nadal. The man with 20 Grand Slam titles to his name attended the Miami Grand Prix earlier this month where the faux pas is supposed to have happened. “This happened the other day at the Formula 1 (race). A guy asked, ‘Can I have a picture with you Mr Nadal?’" I told him I wasn't Mr Nadal. He apologised and left without taking a picture,” tweeted Federer. Over the course of the AMA, a fan pointed out that Federer's bio on the micro-blogging site still identified him as a professional tennis player. To this, Federer responded by quickly changing the bio to: "No longer a professional tennis player." Federer, who called time on his illustrious career last year, also spoke longingly of his playing days in the AMA

IPL 2023: Business as usual for CSK, enter their 10th final in 14 seasons

Chennai: Chennai Super Kings players celebrate after winning the IPL 2023 first qualifier cricket match against Gujarat Titans, at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Tuesday, May 23, 2023. CSK won the match by 15 runs. (PTI Photo/R Senthil Kumar) Chennai Super Kings showed why they mean business in the playoff stage of the IPL by marching to their 10th final in 14 seasons, overcoming table-toppers Gujarat Titans by 15 runs. In the end, it was a complete performance from Chennai Super Kings. Despite losing the toss on a pitch where MS Dhoni too wanted to bowl first, their batters assessed the conditions perfectly to post 172/5. With no dew around, three spinners in their ranks to make the most of the slow conditions and the unorthodox fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana to take care of the death bowling, Dhoni controlled the game, save for a short while when Rashid Khan used the long handle and smashed 30 off just 16 balls.

Akash Madhwal: Engineer, who played tennis-ball cricket, and now filling the big boots of Jasprit Bumrah

Image
Akash Madhwal has become the first cricketer from the Uttarakhand state cricket team to play in the Indian Premier League. (IPL) Four years ago, Akash Madhwal was playing tennis ball cricket across Uttarakhand and in the Western Uttar Pradesh region. When he attended the trials in 2019, he immediately caught the attention of the then Uttarakhand coach Wasim Jaffer and present coach Manish Jha. For someone who has not played with the red ball till the age of 24, Akash has become the first cricketer from the Uttarakhand state cricket team to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL). "When he came for the trials in 2019. We all were very impressed. He is skiddy and quick with a smooth action. There was an X-factor in him. Wasim bhai roped him in straight away and gave him a match against Karnataka in Syed Mushtaq Ali. He was wayward and looked underprepared. Next year, during the Covid, when the Ranji Trophy got cancelled and I took up the job of head coach, I told him that he will

MI vs SRH tip-off XI: Kumar Kartikeya comes back, Umran Malik to get a game and Mayank Markande returns

IPL 2023: In a must-win clash, five-time champions Mumbai Indians take on laggards Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Rohit Sharma’s side needs to win handsomely against Aiden Markram’s side and hope the Gujarat Titans beat Royal Challengers Bangalore. Mumbai’s batting has been firing on all cylinders throughout the tournament. Suryakumar Yadav is back to his very best. It has been only the skipper who could not come up with the goods this season so far. The MI Paltan would be hoping their skipper to produce a good knock for his side in this crucial game. Apart from that bowling has been always a weak link to the side and continues to be. Jofra Archer’s replacement Chris Jordan could not make much of an impact so far. The Men in Orange, on the other hand, will be hoping to finish the season on a high with a win and spoil the Mumbai party. Their batting did not click throughout the tournament apart from Heinrich Klassen who continues to look in ominous form this s

IPL 2023: Protégé Shubman Gill dethrones idol Virat Kohli

Image
On Sunday, the protege showed the master that he is indeed ready and this decade would be his. (IPL/PTI) Synopsis: In a battle between the present and future of Indian cricket, Shubman Gill again showed he is ready to take the baton forward from Virat Kohli. "There's potential and then there's Gill. Go on and lead the next generation. God bless you," This is what Virat Kohli wrote on his Instagram story when Shubman Gill notched up his maiden IPL hundred. Gill had also admitted to the broadcasters that he has grown up watching Virat Kohli and called him his "idol." Right from the time Gill emerged as the breakout star from the 2018 U-19 World Cup, he has been seen as someone who will take the baton forward from Kohli. There is an uncanny similarity in the way Gill and Kohli play their shots. They can hit the ball pitched just outside off through extra cover and mid-wicket like a mirror image.

IPL 2023: Virat Kohli’s masterclass overshadows Heinrich Klaasen’s century

Synopsis: With the back-to-back dominant performances RCB building momentum in the play-off race. In a crunch game, chase master Virat Kohli with his century, displayed innings of the highest quality as Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets to remain in the hunt for playoffs. Relying on textbook shots, Kohli architected one of the finest IPL innings, to the Hyderabad crowd. Faf du Plessis and Kohli put on a 172-run opening partnership that killed any hope the hosts had after they posted a decent 186 runs on the back of a brilliant Heinrich Klaasen’s ton. This is the first time in the IPL that two batsmen from different sides scored a century in the same match. Bangalore's back-to-back thumpings wins means their destiny to qualify for the playoffs is in their own hands provided they defeat Gujarat Titans in the last league match at home. A marvellous victory by the @RCBTweets They win by 8 wickets and add two all important points to their tally.

Dope offender Dipa Karmakar’s return to training camp as per WADA rules, says gymnastics federation

The Gymnastics Federation of India (GFI) insists it has stuck to rules while naming Dipa Karmakar for a training camp, and that the athlete currently under suspension for a doping violation will return to international competition only after serving out her ban. GFI president Sudhir Mittal quoted Article 10.14.2 of WADA that states: “As an exception to Article 10.14.1, an Athlete may return to train with a team or to use the facilities of a club or other member organisation of federation (FIG's) or other signatory's member organisation during shorter of the (1) the last two months of Athlete's period of Ineligibility, or (2) the last one-quarter of the period of Ineligibility imposed.” “For starters, we have named her as a core probable for the Asian Games in September, not the Asian Championship next month.

Unknown women infiltrating protest site to stalk, defame us: Vinesh Phogat

Alleging that some elements are trying to defame their protests and malign the wrestlers, Vinesh Phogat said in a press conference on Monday that the grapplers are being stalked at Jantar Mantar. She said that late at night on Sunday, unknown women attempted to enter the wrestlers' tent at the protest site and even wanted to sleep there overnight, refusing to leave when they were stopped. “We are being stalked here. Some unknown people come here at night and try to enter the tent. They take pictures and videos,” the Asian Games gold medallist said. “These are unknown women, they are being sent late at night, we do not want them here at the site. They are doing things here which we do not want to happen at the protest site in an attempt to tarnish this fight for justice and truth.” Vinesh, alongside other top wrestlers including Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, has been protesting in New Delhi for 23 days now demanding the arrest of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president an
