Ahmedabad, May 27 (Ians) Shubman Gill’s sensational 129 off 60 balls followed by veteran pacer Mohit Sharma’s impressive fifer (5/10) helped Gujarat Titans thrash Mumbai Indians by 62 runs in Qualifier 2 and reach the final of the Ipl 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, here on Friday.
The win also meant that Gujarat entered the Ipl final for the second successive time and will meet Chennai Super Kings in Sunday’s title clash at the same venue. Co-incidentally, the first match of Ipl 2023 was between Gujarat and Chennai at the very same venue on March 31.
Chasing 234 was always going to be an uphill task for Mumbai. Mohammed Shami struck in his very first over when makeshift opener Nehal Wadhera went for a pull, only to edge behind to keeper. Cameron Green got going with a first-ball four, but retired hurt in second over after being hit on left forearm while trying to fend off Hardik Pandya.

Ahmedabad, May 26 (Ians) Mumbai Indians batter Vishnu Vinod on Friday became the first concussion substitute in history of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) during the Qualifier 2 match of the ongoing 2023 season against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, here.
Vinod came in as a replacement for Ishan Kishan, who suffered a concussion after an accidental collision with team-mate Chris Jordan during Mumbai’s bowling innings against Gujarat, where Shubman Gill’s sensational 129 off 60 balls led the defending champions to a massive 233/3.
The incident happened after the end of 16th over, Ishan and Jordan were walking past each other between overs when the two collided.
Jordan did not see Kishan walking since he was wiping his face with a towel and while putting his cap on, his left elbow hit the wicketkeeper-batter flush in the left eye.

Melbourne, May 26 (Ians) Former captain Ricky Ponting expects fast bowler Scott Boland to be named in Australia’s playing eleven for the Icc World Test Championship final against India that begins on June 7 at The Oval, if fellow quick Josh Hazlewood is not fit.
Boland has taken 28 wickets in seven Tests for Australia since picking stunning figures of 6/7 against England at the McG in 2021 and now looms as a key weapon for Australia in the Wtc Final against India, with reports suggesting Hazlewood may not be available due to recently returning to bowling after recovering from a minor side niggle which led to him returning early from Ipl 2023.
Boland is yet to play a Test in England and went wicketless in playing his only Test match in India in Nagpur earlier this year.
“Boland’s record when he’s played over the last 12 months has been absolutely outstanding. He’s one that would really,...

New Delhi, May 25 (Ians) Former India and Chennai Super Kings (Csk) cricketer Suresh Raina hailed pacer Akash Madhwal’s sensational 5-5 haul in helping Mumbai Indians beat Lucknow Super Giants by 81 runs in the Ipl 2023 Eliminator, saying he hadn’t seen a bowling performance like this since the inception of the tournament in 2008.
Madhwal returned with memorable figures of 5-5 in 3.3 overs, as Lucknow were bowled out for 101 in 16.3 overs. The 29-year-old from Uttarakhand took out opener Prerak Mankad (2), before returning later to dismiss Ayush Badoni (1), Nicholas Pooran (0), Ravi Bishnoi (3) and Mohsin Khan (0).
“What’s best was that he got a chance to bowl with the new ball. They trusted him after he bowled well at the Wankhede. All credit should go to his coaching staff. His run-up is great. I haven’t seen a bowling performance like this since 2008. He’s an uncapped player who hasn’t even played much,...

Krunal Pandya promoted himself in the batting order and came in at No.4 but was out for eight runs, jumping out to attempt a big one against veteran spinner Piyush Chawla but ended up finding Tim David at long-on.
Though Chawla played his role, Krunal Pandya too contributed to his own downfall as playing the shot was totally unnecessary.

Chennai, May 6 (Ians) Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has suggested that Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma should take a break from the Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 and focus on preparations for next month’s World Test Championship Final instead.
On Saturday, against Chennai Super Kings at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Sharma, who had scored a three-ball duck in his previous game against Punjab Kings at Mohali, decided to bat at number three, with Australia all-rounder Cameron Green opening the batting with Ishan Kishan.
But the plan backfired spectacularly as Green fell in the second over, while Kishan was dismissed in the third over. Rohit Sharma did not last long at number three, offering a simple catch to Ravindra Jadeja at backward point while trying to play a lap shot against Deepak Chahar.
In 10 matches of Ipl 2023, Sharma has scored just 184 runs at an average of 18.40 and strike-rate of 126.90, with...

Ipl 2023: We had an off-day as a batting unit, admits Rohit Sharma after Mi's six-wicket loss to Csk
Chennai, May 6 (Ians) After losing by six wickets to Chennai Super Kings (Csk) in match 49 of Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma admitted that his side had an off-day with the bat.
Pushed into batting first, Mumbai’s innings never got going as they lost their top-three in Power-play. Barring Nehal Wadhera’s 64 off 50 balls, his maiden Ipl fifty and twin fifty-plus stands with Suryakumar Yadav and Tristan Stubbs, there was nothing of note as Mumbai ended up at 139/8, which Chennai chased down with 14 balls to spare.
“Everywhere, I guess. Our batters didn’t put up enough runs. We had an off-day as a batting unit,” said a dejected Rohit Sharma in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Chennai, May 6 (Ians) A high-quality bowling performance from Chennai Super Kings (Csk), led by young pacer Matheesha Pathirana’s 3-15, set the base for the four-time champions’ six-wicket win against Mumbai Indians in a one-sided Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 match at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.
Pathirana was on fire in his spell at the back end of the innings, giving away just 15 runs in his four overs, not conceding a single boundary while picking three wickets, denying Mumbai the finishing kick they needed after losing their top three batters in power-play as they ended up at 139/8.
He was also supported by Deepak Chahar and Tushar Deshpande taking two wickets each while Ravindra Jadeja had a scalp to his name. For Mumbai, barring Nehal Wadhera’s 64 off 50 balls and Piyush Chawla’s spell of 2-25, no other player stepped up to the occasion as Chennai chased down 140 with 14 balls to spare.

Chennai, May 6 (Ians) Devon Conway top-scored with 44 while Ruturaj Gaikwad was amazing in his 16-ball 30 to set the base for Chennai Super Kings (Csk) chasing down 140 and beat Mumbai Indians by six wickets in Match 49 of Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.
The win also means Chennai recorded their first win over Mumbai at home after 4,777 days, making it just the second time after 2014 that they recorded two league stage wins over the visitors. With the convincing victory, Chennai also climb to second place in the points table, while Mumbai continue to be in sixth position.
Chasing 140, Gaikwad began by lofting and flicking Cameron Green for two fours in the opening over. His onslaught continued in the third over when he effortlessly pulled twice for sixes while punching and driving for two fours off Arshad Khan.

Chennai, May 6 (Ians) A high-quality bowling performance from Chennai Super Kings (Csk), led by young pacer Matheesha Pathirana’s 3-15, restricted Mumbai Indians to a modest 139/8 in 20 overs at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.
Pathirana was on fire in his spell at the back end of the innings, giving away just 15 runs in his four overs, not conceding a single boundary while picking the wickets, denying Mumbai the finishing kick they needed after losing their top three batters in power-play.
He was also supported by Deepak Chahar and Tushar Deshpande taking two wickets each while Ravindra Jadeja had a scalp to his name. For Mumbai, barring Nehal Wadhera’s 64 off 50 balls, which kept the innings together, no batter was allowed to break free on a slow pitch.

Chennai, May 6 (Ians) Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma’s poor run of form in Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 continued when he was dismissed for a three-ball duck by Deepak Chahar during his side’s match against Chennai Super Kings in Ipl 2023 at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.
It is also Rohit’s 16th duck in the Ipl, the most for any batter in the history of the competition. He has surpassed Dinesh Karthik, Mandeep Singh and Sunil Narine, who are now joint second with 15 ducks each.
Rohit, who had scored a three-ball duck in his previous game against Punjab Kings at Mohali, decided to bat at No.3 in Chennai, with Australia all-rounder Cameron Green opening the batting with Ishan Kishan.
But the plan backfired spectacularly as Green fell in the second over, while Kishan was dismissed in the third over. Rohit, who did not open for Mumbai the last time in 2018 against Delhi Capitals,...

Chennai, May 6 (Ians) Chennai Super Kings captain Ms Dhoni has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Mumbai Indians in match 49 of Ipl 2023 at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.
Chennai and Mumbai are placed third and sixth respectively in the points table, but are separated by just one point. Mumbai are on a six-match winning streak in Chepauk and are coming into the match on the back of acing back-to-back 200+ chases in the competition.
After winning the toss, Dhoni said his playing eleven is unchanged, while adding the overcast conditions also played a role in deciding to bowl first. “A bit of rain is expected, that’s one reason, looks like a good wicket and we want them to set a target for us.”
“Every individual has worked well, everyone can show some attention on the field, we’ve improved every game, there have been some slip ups,...

Mohali, May 3 (Ians) Ishan Kishan slammed a terrific 75 while Suryakumar Yadav brought out his wide array of shots in a whirlwind 66 as the duo shared a 116-run partnership for the third wicket to help Mumbai Indians chase down 215 and beat Punjab Kings by six wickets at the Is Bindra Pca Stadium on Wednesday.
Though the duo fell in the back-end of the chase, Tilak Varma and Tim David kept the attack going to complete the chase with seven balls to spare. The win also means Mumbai have ten points and have gone past Punjab to be at sixth position in the points table.
Mumbai were dealt with a big blow in the opening over as Rohit Sharma danced down the pitch to flay over off-side against Rishi Dhawan. But the top-edge flew to the fielder in the deep, resulting in his dismissal for a three-ball duck.

Mohali, May 3 (Ians) When Punjab Kings, after being put in to bat first, posted 214/3, thanks to Liam Livingstone’s scintillating 82 off 42 balls and Jitesh Sharma continuing his good form to be unbeaten on 49 off 27 balls, while sharing a 119-run stand for the fourth wicket, it seemed Mumbai Indians were on the backfoot.
After conceding 69 runs in the last five overs, Mumbai were even further pushed backwards when Rishi Dhawan dismissed Rohit Sharma for a three-ball duck in the first over and lost Cameron Green in the last over of power-play.
But Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav had other ideas at the Is Bindra Pca Stadium on Wednesday. In front of a vociferous crowd, Kishan slammed a terrific 75 while Suryakumar brought out his innovative array of shots in a whirlwind 66 as the duo shared a match-winning partnership of 116 for the third wicket to help Mumbai Indians chase down 215 and beat Punjab Kings by six wickets.

Mumbai, April 16 (Ians) Ishan Kishan hammered a half-century and Suryakumar Yadav roared back to form to negate a brilliant century by Venkatesh Iyer and help Mumbai Indians defeat Kolkata Knight Riders by five wickets and register their second win of the season in Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023, here on Sunday.
It was the first afternoon match for Mumbai Indians at Fortress Wankhede and the hosts made the most of this opportunity to romp to their second win in four matches.
Though Venkatesh Iyer struck a brilliant 104 off 51 deliveries, Mumbai Indians did not allow their other batters to prosper and thus restricted them to 185/6 in 20 overs. Hrithik Shokeen claimed 2-34 while Piyush Chawla was at his economical best for 1-19 in four overs as Mumbai Indians came up with a clinical performance.

Mumbai, April 16 ((Ians) Venkatesh Iyer became the first batter to score a hundred for Kolkata Knight Riders since Brendon McCullum in 2008, hitting a 51-ball 104 that helped them reach 185/6 in 20 overs in Match 22 of Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023, here on Sunday.
In the first afternoon match at a hot and dry Wankhede Stadium, Iyer waged a lone battle for Kkr as he kept one end going, hitting nine maximums and five boundaries, making the most of the life he got when in the 80s. Iyer was the Impact Player for Kkr a week back when he blasted an 83 in Kkr’s three-wicket win against Gujarat Titans.
On Sunday, he was included in the Playing XI and made a great impact as he kept alive the Kkr’s hopes of winning their first match at the Wankhede. He raised 46 runs for the second wicket with Rahmanullah Gurbaz (8), fifty runs for the fourth...

Mumbai, April 15 (Ians) Slotted in the key role of a finisher, Tim David helped raise a 30-run stand for the unfinished fifth wicket partnership with Cameron Green which helped Mumbai Indians reach 173/4 in 20 overs in New Delhi and win the match by six wickets.
Mumbai Indians were 143/4 in the 17th over after skipper Rohit Sharma was out. But Time David (13 not out off 11) and Cameron Green (17 not out off 8) saw them through at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
David said he is relishing his role as a finisher. He said the win was a good one because the conditions were tricky.
“As a finisher, my job is to make sure that my team can get over the line. That’s the responsibility for me and my role. Chasing the other night was tough, they bowled really well in the last couple of overs. It was great to have that partnership...

Bengaluru, April 14 (Ians) The Delhi Capitals have endured a poor start to the Ipl 2023 season, losing all of their four games so far. Ahead of their clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, assistant coach Ajit Agarkar admitted that fate is in the hands of the David Warner-led side to turn its winless campaign around.

New Delhi, March 6 (Ians) Former India batting great Sunil Gavaskar while highlighting the flaws of the Australian selectors has said that instead of pointing fingers at players, the role of the selectors should be questioned.
The ex-cricketers have been extremely critical of the current Australian side for their batting woes. Australia legend Allan Border has lashed out at Steve Smith, who passed a thumbs-up gesture to the bowler after a ball beat his outside edge. While former Australia opener Matthew Hayden also slammed the team for their lackluster show in the opening match of the series.
“While the ex-Australian players on the various media platforms are having a real go at their players, the ones who should be the real targets are the Australian selectors,” Gavaskar wrote in his column for Sportstar.

While Umesh was efficient with his exhibition of reverse swing and reached 100 Test wickets at home, Ashwin was able to extract turn, and use it with flight to trigger an Australian batting meltdown, as they lost their last six wickets for just 11 runs in 28 balls. Though, visitors took a healthy lead of 88 runs.

Mumbai, Feb 26 (Ians) Coming into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India after an unbeaten 10-game run, Australia has had an underwhelming series trailing 0-2 following massive three-day defeats in Nagpur and New Delhi.
The Australian went into the first Test in Nagpur without playing any tour match, claiming that the camp that they had in Sydney and Alur in Karnataka was good enough.
They have also been pulled up for some strange selection decisions the top among them being the call to leave out batter Travis Head for the opening Test in Nagpur earlier this month. Australia lost the first Test by an innings and 132 runs and the second by six wickets.
However, according to former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, another key omission for the Test at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (Vca) Stadium in Jamtha was the decision to not pick left-arm spinner, Ashton Agar.

New Delhi, Feb 25 (Ians) Former Australia cricketer Greg Chappell stated that fans back home are extremely disappointed over the visitors losing the first two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy inside three days and has urged the side to showcase their usual grit and tenacity in the last two matches.
After losing the first Test by an innings and 132 runs in Nagpur inside three days, Australia lost the second Test to India by six wickets in New Delhi, which meant their chances of winning the Test series came to an end as India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
“What can Australia do from here? Firstly, pick their best team and then play with the passion, tenacity and grit which is our hallmark. Australian fans know that it is tough in India.”
“They can accept getting beaten by a better side, but they won’t cop seeing an Australian team playing recklessly...

New Delhi, Feb 25 (Ians) Former Australia cricket captain Greg Chappell slammed the current team think-tank for being 2-0 behind in their ongoing Test tour of India, pointing out that the visitors made blunders by not picking their best team and batters basing their game on only one shot.
Australia can’t win the Test series in India after going 2-0 behind in the four-match series. After losing the first Test by an innings and 132 runs in Nagpur, the visitors lost the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test by six wickets in New Delhi. They will now play their third Test in Indore, starting from March 1.
“The Australian think-tank has made two major blunders: they didn’t pick their best team and they based their batting attack on one shot. With Cameron Green, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood injured for the first two Tests, the Australians were hamstrung, but the basic premise...

New Delhi, Feb 25 (Ians) Former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie said Test captain Pat Cummins should be given the chance to miss the remainder of the Test series against India, adding that some things are more important in life than a cricket match.
Cummins left India for his home in Sydney shortly after Australia’s six-wicket defeat in the second Test at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi to spend time with his sick mother, who is currently in palliative care. In his absence for the third Test, starting from March 1 in Indore, Steve Smith will be captaining Australia.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if we didn’t see him on this tour (again). If I was in charge, I’d probably just say to him, ‘stay at home’. With all due respect, the series is gone, we can’t win the series, and there are series coming up this year…...

New Delhi, Feb 24 (Ians) Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has said that he is ‘100 percent ready to go’ for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after missing the first two games with a fractured finger.
The third Test of the four-match series is scheduled from March 1-5 at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.
The all-rounder was considered to play in the second Test in Delhi but was ultimately ruled out on the eve of the match after suffering minor setbacks while batting in the nets.
Green’s anticipated return from a serious finger injury is a welcome boost for the Baggy Greens as skipper Pat Cummins, David Warner and Josh Hazlewood flew home in recent days.
“I was so, so close last game but I think probably having an extra week has helped a lot, so I’m 100 percent ready to go,” Green was quoted as saying by Fox Cricket.

Syndey, Feb 23 (Ians) Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh return to Australian colours for the One-Day International series against India next month. Australia will play India in Mumbai (March 17), Vizag (March 19) and Chennai (March 22) for the ODIs.
Maxwell (broken leg) and Marsh (ankle) have been included in the 16-player squad for the three Odi games which follow the Test Series.
Victorian Maxwell returned to play last week with games in the Victorian Premier Cricket competition and Marsh Sheffield Shield for Victoria while Marsh is expected to play the next two Marsh Cup matches for Western Australia before heading to India.
Jhye Richardson also makes a return to the Australian team having recovered from a hamstring strain which ruled him out of the Bbl finals.

Melbourne, Nov 14 (Ians) Former Australian coach Justin Langer believes the “chopping and changing” in the side leading up to the Icc T20 World Cup at home was not the right way to go ahead of such a big event, and it could have played a big role in Aaron Finch’s side’s premature exit.
Australia, who were the defending champions, could not make it past the Super 12 stage, with the biggest blow coming from Trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand who thrashed them by 89 runs in the opening group game on October 22.
“Leading in, Australia were chopping and changing a bit, giving people the opportunities, not necessarily the right way to go about it but that’s just the way it worked out and giving some guys some rest,” Langer, who remained Australia’s chief coach for almost four years until his departure post the team’s success in the 2021 T...

Melbourne, Nov 8 (Ians) Left-hand batter Travis Head has been included in Australia’s 14-member One-day International (Odi) squad in place of the now-retired Aaron Finch for the three-match series against England, scheduled to commence soon after the Icc Men’s T20 World Cup here.
While announcing the squad, chairman of selectors George Bailey said, “Our focus is to continue to build a squad with an eye to next year’s World Cup (in India) under Pat (Cummins) as the new Odi captain, so it’s an important series.
“Travis Head returns in place of Aaron Finch having played well in Pakistan and Sri Lanka earlier in the year. He has demonstrated flexibility in the types of roles he can play in our Odi line-up. Our next opportunity in the Odi format will be in India next year which will allow us to experience similar conditions as for the World Cup in October,...

Perth, Oct 10 (Ians) Australia T20I skipper Aaron Finch has confirmed he will return as opener in the two remaining T20Is against England and the Icc T20 World Cup at home, following the 35-year-old dropping to No.4 in a couple of matches to give young allrounder Cameron Green a few opportunities at the top.
The 23-year-old Green, did impress in the away series against India, slamming two half-centuries but he has since failed to notch impressive scores in the two-match series against the West Indies and the opening tie of the three-match series against England on Sunday. The tall allrounder could only manage a single as Australia lost the match by eight runs in Perth on Sunday.
Finch said Green was given the opportunity to open the batting to prepare the team for any exigency that might arise during the T20 World Cup.
“We’re going to keep trying things.

Perth, Oct 9 (Ians) England beat Australia by eight runs in a thrilling first T20I to take 1-0 lead in the three-match series at the Perth Stadium, here on Sunday.
The win marked England’s first victory in men’s T20Is in Australia in 11 years. Their first and only win in Australia in a T20I came in 2011 in Adelaide when they won by one wicket. Since then, England lost all six T20Is they played in Australia until the game on Sunday.
Put in to bat, Jos Buttler and Alex Hales treated Australia’s second-string attack – none of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell made the long trip west – with disdain and recorded a 132-run opening partnership to put England on course for a big total.
It was the highest men’s T20I first-wicket partnership in Australia, and England’s second highest in the format.

Melbourne, Oct 9 (Ians) Australia batting stalwart Steve Smith, aiming to firm up his place in the Australia’s playing XI as several big hitters crowd the side ahead of the Icc T20 World Cup at home, has said he wants to just play his “authentic” game and is “good enough for any team”.
Smith’s place in the Australia T20 side, which is aiming to defend the title won in the UAE last year, has come under pressure with the likes of Cameron Green, Marcus Stoinis and Mitchell Marsh and Tim David exhibiting their big-hitting prowess.
But the batting stalwart said he will not try to play the power game, which has led to his current state of uncertainty, and would rather concentrate on his natural game.
“I don’t think I can buy into that (power game),” said Smith to Sydney Morning Herald. “I’ve probably been guilty of this in the past,...

Melbourne, Oct 7 (Ians) Former Australia captain and top-order batter Steve Smith has said he might not be as “strong and powerful” as some other cricketers in the side like Cameron Green but his utility on home wickets cannot be underestimated as he can punch and time the ball really well.
Smith was not included in the playing XI in the opening T20I against the West Indies at Carrara on October 5, with young allrounder Green getting the nod for the game, despite the youngster not being a part of Australia’s T20 World Cup 15-member squad.
The selectors’ decision to drop Smith has invited a lot of criticism, with experts saying Cricket Australia is getting its priorities wrong ahead of the showpiece event, beginnng on October 16.
Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke has lambasted the selectors for playing Green and leaving out Smith, who needs as much game time as possible...
