With Dhoni into his 40s, the question became more and more relevant with veteran cricketers and former teammates having mixed replies. However, Dhoni in the post match presentation after the match against SRH on Friday admitted that he is “in the last phase of his career”, a statement that left fans emotional all over social media. “All said and done, it’s the last phase of my career, however long I…

He took his 208th catch in T20 cricket in that match– the most ever in the format as he edged past South African counterpart Quinton de Kock. Also read: IPL 2023 Yesterday Match Result CSK…
Sanju Samson has been an integral part of Rajasthan Royals for quite a long time now. No player has scored as many runs for Rajasthan in IPL as Samson. In 2009, KKR showed trust in Sanju Samson and included him in their side. In 2012, he was signed by the franchise, but did not get an appearance before he moved to Rajasthan Royals in the next year where he made his IPL debut. In a recent conversation with Star Sports, Samson revealed that he was taken for RR trials by veteran India cricketer Sreesanth, his Kerala teammate, who had joined…

The Punjab Kings faced a 24-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore in their 2023 Indian Premier League match on Thursday afternoon. Batting first, RCB set a decent target of 175 runs on the back of brilliant half-centuries from both Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. Batting second, PBKS fought really hard, but unfortunately, lost the match by 24 runs. However, the side’s stand-in skipper, Sam Curran, gave his wicket away rather cheaply in the 10th over. A bit of lazy running cost Curran his wicket, and former India opener Virender Sehwag, who has worked with Punjab Kings, came down hard…
Virat Kohli captained RCB for the first time after 464 days in the match against PBKS on Thursday (April 20). The reason stated was the inability of Faf du Plessis to do fielding. While that made the internet go into a frenzy, there is a report on InsideSport that claims that Kohli could continue as the captain of the Royal Challengers for the next two IPL games. It could be done as Faf du Plessis suffered a rib injury in the match against CSK and RCB team management wants to give Faf some more rest. However, it could also be…
The Delhi Capitals have finally been able to get two points in IPL 2023 after defeating Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday (April 20). Batting first, KKR set a low target of 128 runs. However, the chase was not easy for DC. Despite a half-century from Warner, DC won the match by 4 wickets with just 4 balls left. However, the frustrations with the Capitals have crept in the minds of not only the fans but also former cricketers. So much so, that during a discussion on the Star Sports Cricket Live show, former BCCI chairman Krishnamachari Srikkanth simply refused to…

Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Punjab Kings conveniently on April 20. However, one incident got everyone’s attention during the 2nd innings of the match when PBKS were batting. During one of the reviews in the second innings (taken by Punjab Kings batter Jitesh Sharma), Maxwell and Kohli decided to play a game of rock, paper and scissors, which the Australian batter won. The video of the same did the rounds on social media, and it reached Maxwell too. Reacting to the same, Maxwell hilariously trolled Kohli saying, “Poor, predictable Virat, always goes paper” as he couldn’t stop laughing. Also read: Twitter:…
