  • Mumbai Indians need to be ultra-aggressive like CSK to win: Former England cricketer Graeme Swann

    By PTI

    NEW DELHI: Former England cricketer Graeme Swann feels Mumbai Indians should adopt the “ultra aggressive” approach CSK showed against RCB as it aims for its first win of the season.

    Both the multiple-times champions lost their opening four games before CSK broke their losing streak with a 23-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday.

    The Rohit Sharma-led MI, however, is still in the look out for their first victory this season “Mumbai Indians basically need to take a template from what CSK did against RCB and copy that going forward” Swann said on Star Sports.

    “If they can go with an ultra-aggressive intent, they will be able to win (their upcoming matches),” the former off spinner said.

    Swann further added that for teams like Mumbai and Chennai – who suffered four consecutive defeats in as many games – body language has to be positive going forward.

    “Any coach or any captain would demand from his players to show more intensity (on the field), more hard work and want them to show that they mean it (when it comes winning)even if you’ve lost a few games. So the body language is a good way to go.”

  • WATCH | CSK star Ambati Rayudu’s one-handed catch to dismiss Akash Deep sets social media on fire

    By IANS

    NAVI MUMBAI: Chennai Super Kings, the defending champions in IPL 2022, finally managed to snap their four-match losing streak with a 23-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore at the DY Patil Stadium.

    In Tuesday’s match, everyone was left floored on seeing the carnage from the bats of Shivam Dube (95 not out off 46 balls) and Robin Uthappa (88 off 50 balls). But their attention was taken away by Ambati Rayudu, whose services weren’t needed with the bat, producing a moment of brilliance on the field, leaving social media in awe.

    On the fourth ball of the 16th over when Bangalore, under scoreboard pressure, were struggling to chase a mammoth total of 216, Rayudu increased their troubles when he plucked a sensational one-handed stunning catch of Akash Deep off captain Ravindra Jadeja.

    Jadeja bowled a short-of-length ball which stopped on Deep, who tried to drive on the up.

    Rayudu, who was fielding at short cover, sensationally dived to his right and threw himself in the air to take the catch with his right hand. He did not let the ball go off his hand even after falling on the ground.

    Rayudu’s athleticism on the field drew a lot of attention and awe from the cricketing world on social media.

    “Ambiti Rayudu just took the catch of the season!!!” tweeted former West Indies cricketer and commentator Ian Bishop.

    “Is it a Bird or is it a Plane? Nah !. It’s Namma @RayuduAmbati,” commented CSK’s official fan club account.

    “How old is Ambati Rayudu? He’s literally flying! #WhistlePodu #CSK,” wrote a CSK supporter on Twitter.

    “Ambati Rayudu Just took the catch of the season,” typed in another cricket fan.

    Earlier, pushed in to bat first, Dube and Uthappa bailed Chennai out of trouble at 36/2 in 6.4 overs with a mammoth 165-run partnership off just 74 balls, helping the reigning champions post a gigantic 216/4 in their 20 overs.

    In reply, Shabhaz Ahmed, Suyash Prabhudessai and Dinesh Karthik produced critical knocks but Bangalore could manage to make 193/9 in their 20 overs, giving Chennai their first win of the tournament.

    After pocketing a win against their name, Chennai will face Gujarat Titans at Pune on Sunday while Bangalore will be up against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.

  • How the absence of Harshal Patel rocked RCB’s boat in ‘Southern Derby’

    By IANS

    MUMBAI: Calling right-arm pace bowler Harshal Patel an integral part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) setup would be an understatement, given the kind of solidity he brings to the bowling line-up.

    The 31-year-old’s absence from the Faf du Plessis-led side on Tuesday due to bereavement in his family was one of the key reasons for RCB conceding 216 runs to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the ‘Southern Derby’ and then losing the high-scoring match by 23 runs.

    Du Plessis was at his wits’ end trying to explain how a star-studded side, which was on a three-match winning streak, went down to a team that had been searching for a winning formula in IPL 2022.

    The former South African skipper attributed the defeat to the absence of Patel, who had to leave the IPL bio-bubble after getting the news of his sister’s demise.

    “You see the value of Harshal (Patel), and what he offers. He has the ability to stop the game. We missed that (against CSK); we had a similar tone to the bowling. We lacked the variety we needed in our attack. Hopefully we can have him soon again,” said du Plessis.

    De Plessis said that bowlers started well but then the onslaught of Shivam Dube and Robin Uthappa took the game beyond RCB’s reach. Dube slammed an unbeaten 95, while Uthappa scored 88, and together they sewed together a stand of 165 runs to put the match beyond RCB’s reach.

    “First 7-8 overs were pretty good, then there was a period from 8-14 where (Shivam) Dube took the spinners on. That period, whatever we tried didn’t work. In order to chase down such a big score, you need one of the first four to set the foundation. We didn’t have that. CSK used their spinners well on a pitch that had some grip. The way we came back was credit to the depth,” said du Plessis.

    It was an off day in office for the RCB bowlers as they failed to find their stride. Despite Australian pace bowler Josh Hazlewood’s decent figures and Wanindu Hasaranga’s late brace, the CSK had enough on the board already.

    Speaking about debutant Suyash Prabhudessai, who scored 34 off 18 in the chase, du Plessis said, “Impressed with the way Prabhudessai played the way he did on debut,”.

    RCB will be up against the Delhi Capitals in their next game on April 16.

  • Ravindra Jadeja dedicates Chennai Super Kings’ first win of season to his wife

    By ANI

    NAVI MUMBAI: After Chennai Super Kings registered a victory in IPL 2022 on Tuesday, skipper Ravindra Jadeja expressed happiness and dedicated the win to his wife.

    Brilliant knocks by Shivam Dube and Robin Uthappa were backed by courageous bowling performance as Chennai Super Kings completed a comfortable 23 runs victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday. This was CSK’s first win after five matches in the IPL 2022.

    “First of all, this is the first victory as a captain ever. I would like to dedicate it to my wife and also the team because the first victory is always special. Previous four games, we couldn’t cross the line. But as a team, we came good. As a batting unit, everybody did a good job. Robbie and Shivam batted brilliantly. The bowlers contributed with the ball as well. Our management doesn’t put pressure on me, they are relaxed, they always come to me and motivate,” said Jadeja in a post-match presentation.

    “As a captain, I am still picking the brains of the senior players. Mahi bhai is there, I always go to him and discuss. Moulding into a new role, it’ll take time to get things going. I am still learning and trying to get better with each game. We have plenty of experience in our dressing room. Experience comes into play, we don’t panic early. We try to keep ourselves calm, we back ourselves and we look to play positive cricket. We’ll look to push hard, we’ve got the momentum, we’ll try and continue the momentum,” he added.

    Robin Uthappa played his IPL career-best inning of 88 while Shivam Dube smashed a thrilling 95* as the pair stitched a mammoth partnership of 165 runs to help CSK reach the highest total of the IPL 2022 — 216/4.

    Among bowlers, Maheesh Theekshana was the star for CSK as he scalped four wickets while their skipper Ravindra Jadeja took three to completely dismantle the RCB chase.
