  • Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson says one step closer to do something special for Shane Warne

    By ANI

    AHMEDABAD: After registering a thumping win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2022, Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson said that he wants his team to win this IPL 2022 for legendary Shane Warne.

    Buttler’s unbeaten 106, his fourth ton of the season, powered RR to a comprehensive seven-wicket win over RCB in the Qualifier-2 here at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.

    “I think the tournament right from the start has been for him and I think we need to take one more step for him it’s really special and I don’t want to talk much about it,” Samson told Royals’ star batter Jos Buttler in a video posted on official site of IPL.

    Further, Samson asked Buttler how he felt when he played in the atmosphere of Ahemdabad’s stadium.

    “I was actually very excited to play in this stadium with a hundred thousand people watching you, the atmosphere was amazing. It’s been two years playing in empty stadiums and IPL is all about that so I was really excited today,” replied Buttler.

    Talking about captaincy, the wicket-keeper batter said it is easy to manage a team full of ‘quality cricketers’.

    “It was really good, to be honest, I think it becomes really easy when you have some really quality cricketers around you, you don’t have to talk much to them it is really easy as they know what they are doing. In the first season, I wanted to interact a lot more to understand a lot of different characters, so it’s really fun enjoying the funny characters we have in our team,” he added.

    Coming to the match, great knocks by Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal, followed by a cameo of Sanju Samson helped RR chase down the target of 158 runs in just 18.1 overs. Earlier, Prasidh Krishna and Obed McCoy scalped three wickets each to restrict RCB at 157/8.

    Rajasthan Royals will lock horns against debutants Gujarat Titans in the final on Sunday.

  • I am trying to hold one end up and let bowler from other end attack: Gujarat Titans all-rounder Rashid Khan 

    By PTI

    AHMEDABAD: The risk-free tactic used by opposition batters has helped Rashid Khan deploy a defensive game-plan of trying to hold one end up while allowing the bowler at the other end go for the kill.

    In his fifth IPL season, Rashid is no longer an unknown entity and the batters across franchises are trying to see off his overs while trying to go after other bowlers in Gujarat Titans line-up.

    While an economy rate of 6.73 in 15 games is very impressive, Rashid is currently ninth in the overall list with 18 wickets.

    “My mindset wasn’t any different in play-offs. The energy and the thought process is the same throughout. But teams are playing it safe against me. So, I am trying to keep it tight and that increases the chance of picking up wickets by the bowler at the other end,” the Afghan spinner said ahead of Sunday’s final.

    For him, hitting one particular area is key.

    “Irrespective of whether it is a league game or knockouts, my mindset is to bowl in a certain area and I don’t try anything differently. My objective is to build pressure,” Rashid said at the pre-final press conference.

    Evolving as a batter

    Rashid has shown that he is no mug with the bat with nine sixes and a strike-rate of 206 plus in this season.

    Having developed a second skill obviously boosted his confidence and especially after contributing in finishing a couple of close games this season.

    “I batted a bit higher than where I was batting before. The other thing is the confidence. It is given by the coaching staff, captain and all the players. They believed I will be able to perform. That is the kind of energy you need as a player and that has been given to me,” he said.

    He in fact practises a lot at the nets.

    “There are more batting practice sessions for me, batting more than before and the belief that everyone has on me, that this guy can deliver and score some runs for the team, crucial runs.

    “I always had that belief that I can score those 20-25 runs for the team at the end, if the team needs,” he added.

    All praise for ‘Killer Miller’

    Rashid also praised his team-mate David Miller, stating that he makes the job of the top-order easy.

    “Having David, someone who’s in form in the middle, making scores, makes the job of top order easy. Numbers 4, 5 and 6 are important in T20 and once you have them in form, it does help to win games and doesn’t matter whatever the target is.

    “They have scored without any fear, especially when you look at the game against CSK (Chennai Super Kings), the kind of innings David played, he showed his class,” Rashid signed off.

  • Change in mindset against spinners key to IPL 2022 success: Gujarat Titans batter David Miller

    By PTI

    AHMEDABAD: A change in mindset while facing spinners has played a big part in his success in the ongoing Indian Premier League, believes Gujarat Titans batter David Miller.

    Miller has been the second highest run-scorer for GT with 449 runs from 15 matches, with an unbeaten 94 being his highest score.

    Skipper Hardik Pandya leads the chart with 453 runs from 14 games.

    And the South African said the hardwork he had put in at the nets paid rich dividends.

    “It has been a good season for me against spin. It has been something that I have worked hard on. I have never really felt that I struggled against spin, but it is an area I had to improve,” Miller said during the pre-match press conference ahead of their IPL final against Rajasthan Royals here on Sunday.

    “…I have changed my mindset against spin. I have changed one or two things. I feel like it is just about making sure, especially in T20 cricket, that I am looking to score every ball.

    “If there is a bad ball at least I am in a good position to put it away. It creates a bit of pressure on the bowler. So that is one of the things mentally I have tried to improve,” he added.

    Miller said playing all the matches for GT has been a confidence booster for him.

    “This season (I am) batting a bit higher. I am batting at five. I have managed to bat from the start of the season and play all the games, so it has been enjoyable that I am not in and out (of the team).

    “I have managed to build something the whole season and keep my confidence growing,” he said.

    “I have been backed all the way. Playing all the games allows a player to settle down and really not worry about selection. I am loving being part of this successful team,” added Miller, who has been playing in the IPL for 12 years.

    He attributed GT’s success in its debut season to collective effort.

    “It has obviously been a really good season. But for me the standout has been Rahul Tewatia. Someone like (Mohammed) Shami has bowled incredibly well this season. He has put us in good positions in the powerplay.

    “It is tough to single out players. A lot of guys have put their hands up throughout the competition and that has contributed to a lot of wins,” he said.

    Miller was also effusive in his praise for opener Wriddhiman Saha.

    “He (Saha) is almost like a pillar of strength. I played with him for many years at Kings XI (Punjab Kings) and he is the one who doesn’t complain, doesn’t speak much but gets on with the job.

    “The contributions that he has made has been extremely good upfront. He has set the tone, scoring a lot of boundaries in the powerplay, really getting us to good starts. He has had an incredible season and hopefully he tops with one more extremely good game,” Miller signed off.
