The occurrence occured on the third ball of the eighth over. When Devdutt Padikkal endeavored a switch-hit against Ravi Bishnoi, when on 35. Rahul moved quickly to one side, caught the ball and went up in a sure allure. As one with the bowler, on-field umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan turned it down.

Indian Women’s cricket captain and chief Mithali Raj needs to follow MS Dhoni on the best way to win tosses in regards to the adjustment of her approach during Day 1 of the Pink-ball Test against Australia in Gold Coast.

Mithali did manage to lose the toss once again. However the team eventually figured out how to overwhelm Australia for the majority of four days as the pinkball Test finished in a draw on Sunday.

“I didn’t want that to become a legacy. The way the girls have been pulling my leg for that! So I thought I should change. I really think I need to take a cue from MS Dhoni on how to win a toss,” Raj joked at the post-match press conference.

Smriti Mandhana’s wonderful 127 on Day 2 joined with sublime bowling endeavors from Jhulan Goswami, Pooja Vastrakar and Deepti Sharma helped the guests dictate terms. In a game where 80 or more overs were lost in the initial two days because of downpour joined by lightning.

The climate interferences made it unthinkable for the match to create an outcome even and Raj said that it was a “Dicey” call with regards to when India would declare their second innings on Day 4. Pursuing towards an external possibility of triumph against Australia.

Experts anticipated that India should declare their second innings at tea yet they came out for a couple of more overs setting up a tough chance of winning. Eventually setting up 272 for the hosts to chase in the 4th innings. “It was somewhat awkward with regards to when we could declare. Getting eight wickets in 15 overs was nothing less than a mountain climb,” Raj said.

Let’s take a look at who’s playing, and what to expect from these games

Champion India batsman Gautam Gambhir said AB de Villiers is a monstrous addition for Royal Challengers Bangalore as they hope to rule. They’ll build on the great beginning to Indian Premier League 2021 when the competition resumes from September 19 in the UAE.

Gautam Gambhir said about AB de Villiers’ capacity to take on is simply incredible, saying he has never seen somebody rule a bowler like Jasprit Bumrah so reliably. De Villiers has hit 112 runs against Bumrah at a strike pace of more than 140 and has been taken by the Mumbai Indians bowler just twice in his IPL vocation.

Gambhir said Virat Kohli will profit from the presence of de Viliiers and Glenn Maxwell. Kohli will be hoping to keep opening the innings for RCB, remembering the job that he may play for India at the T20 World Cup.

“He (Virat Kohli) has got people like AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell, which is a huge cushion to have. Even if it’s not Maxwell, AB is a massive cushion because there is only one person who can take on someone like Jasprit Bumrah and it was AB de Villiers. I have not seen anyone else who has done that consistently against Bumrah, but AB is a freak,” he said in a interview.

“You probably get 2 or 3 international bowlers (in the IPL) and then you’ve got domestic bowlers as well, whom you could dominate. So, probably there’s a lot of pressure on Virat and AB as well, which could be one of the reasons and year after year, if you don’t win that title the pressure keeps on increasing as well.”

Notwithstanding, the previous Kolkata Knight Riders captain, who drove the team to 2 IPL prizes, featured that the two whiz batsmen in Kohli and de Villiers will be feeling the squeeze as RCB have not had the option to get their hands on the IPL prize.

Ab de Villiers has not played any competitive cricket since May. Yet the previous South Africa batsmen conveyed a message to teams. He hit a 46-ball 104 in an intra-team warm-up match for RCB on Tuesday. De Villiers hit 10 sixes and 7 fours. Exhibiting he is prepared to overwhelm bowlers by and by.

RCB are as of now at the third spot in the 8-team table. They will continue their mission against Kolkata Knight Riders on September 20.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the schedule for the remainder of the IPL 2021 which will be held in the United Arab Emirates. A total number of 31 matches will be played in the duration of 27 days.

The 14th season, which was postponed in May this year in the wake of the pandemic, will resume on September 19 in Dubai with a blockbuster clash between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.

The action will then shift to Abu Dhabi where the Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Sharjah will host its first game on September 24 when Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Chennai Super Kings.

In all, 13 matches will be held in Dubai, 10 in Sharjah and 8 in Abu Dhabi.

There will be 7 double headers (5 matches already played in India total of 12 matches) with the first match starting at 3:30 PM IST. All evening matches will start at 7:30 PM IST.

Final game of the league stage will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals on October 8.

The first Qualifier will be played in Dubai on October 10. The Eliminator & Qualifier 2 will be played in Sharjah on October 11 and 13, respectively, with Dubai hosting the final on October 15.

Ab de Villiers, who is presently in the UAE to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the second 50% of IPL 2021, named himself an “old man” and added that he needs to remain fresh to remain at standard fitness for competitive cricket.

The 37-year-old South African extraordinary last played international cricket in 2018 and his latest cutthroat match, which was an IPL game, traces all the way back to April 2021. Since resigning from world cricket, the wicketkeeper-batsman has focussed on franchise cricket, fundamentally on IPL.

“It was awesome. The wicket was a bit tacky so it was very intense really. Bowlers bowled well overall and it’s sticky here, we are going to perspire a great deal which is useful for losing a bit of weight however for an old man like me, I need to remain fresh however much I can,” said De Villiers.

The tournament wiped due to Covid-19 scares will resume from Sunday.

“It was an extraordinary meeting and was ideal to see everybody out there. Every one of the folks are looking extremely anxious to get moving. I’m anticipating the upcoming warm-up game,” added De Villiers.

The Protea said he had a pleasant outlook on rejoining with his RCB partners after the first half of IPL. First half was held in India.

“Totally, I have missed the folks. I have found a few people and I will get together with the more established folks over the course of the following not many days.

I have covered two or three people around evening time and it’s ideal to hear every one of the narratives and what they got up to over the most recent few months. There’s some fascinating stuff that has occurred and, it’s extraordinary to be all together once more.”

Lasith Malinga has declared his retirement from T20 cricket after 295 matches. He picked 390 wickets. Malinga had effectively resigned from Tests in 2011. He retired from ODIs in 2019. The Sri Lanka pacer reported his retirement from franchise cricket in January this year. After Mumbai Indians parted ways with him.

“Today is a very special day for me. I want to thank each one of you who have supported me throughout my T20 career. Today I have decided to give 100 per cent rest to my T20 bowling shoes,” he said. “I want to thank Sri Lanka cricket board, Mumbai Indians, Melbourne Stars, Kent Cricket Club, Rangpur Riders, Guyana Warriors, Maratha Warriors and Montreal Tigers. I now want to share my experience with young cricketers who want to play franchise cricket and for their national team.
“While my shoes rest, my love for the game will never ask for rest. Looking forward to seeing our youngsters make history.”

Malinga wraps up with amazing figures – a strike rate of 16.60, an economy of 7.07 at an average of 19.68. He was first of all the bowlers to 100 T20I wickets prior to finishing with 107 scalps in the international arena. He takes the fourth spot in the highest T20 wicket-taker list in the rundown behind Dwayne Bravo, Imran Tahir and Sunil Narine.

Malinga, one of the most outstanding T20 bowlers ever, was a critical figure in the teams he feayured in the Indian Premier League, Big Bash League, Caribbean Premier League, and other establishment competitions. He was important for four of the five IPL title wins with Mumbai Indians however did not take part in the 2020 competition.

A pinnacle figure in world cricket, Malinga will leave behind a legacy that will be hard to match. His toe crushing yorkers and deceiving slower deliveries will always haunt batsmen in their dreams. He was the best bowler in the death overs during his prime.

6 for 7 Malinga’s  best bowling figures in T20s. He achieved it in the 2012-13 Big Bash League for Melbourne Stars against Perth Scorchers. He also finished as the second highest wicket taker in the T20 world cup with 38 scalps to his name. Only Shahid Afridi with 39 wickets is ahead of him.

Indian women’s cricket team opener Smriti Mandhana says her side has improved “hugely” since the World T20 last loss to Australia last year and will be “extra competitive ” during the impending series. It includes its first day-night Test excursion.

India and Australia are set to clash in a multi-format series involving three ODIs, the day-night Test and three T20s. Beginning on September 21. The Test will be played from September 30 to October 3 in Canberra.

The last time the different sides met was at the ladies’ T20 World Cup last at the MCG last year where the hosts had pounded India by 85 runs to lift the prize.

The wait is finally over! UEFA Champions League, the most coveted tournament in European football is back this week, commencing on the 14th of September. Here's a  preview groups A-D in the champions league, and what to expect from these groups.

Former cricketer Ramiz Raja will be the new chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board after a meeting between the PCB governers.

Ex-Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja will replace Ehsan Mani, who stepped down after finishing his three-year term. Mani's stay finished on August 25.

PCB Election Commissioner Mr Justice (retd) Sheik Azmat Saeed will direct the election. He will be taking charge of the proceedings of the special meeting.

Ramiz Raja will make some strategy changes in regards to the Pakistan Cricket Board . The choice  of council framework and other significant issues. Pakistan has announced their 15-member team for the ICC T20 World Cup to be played in the UAE and Oman.

The wait is finally over! UEFA Champions League, the most coveted tournament in European football is back this week, commencing on the 14th of September. Let’s preview groups E-H in the champions league, and what to expect from these groups.

As far as India’s limited over captaincy is concerned, the leadership may change, and Captain Virat Kohli may step down and transfer responsibilities to his deputy Rohit Sharma. Kohli is currently a patron of various forms of India and has become one of the greatest figures of all time.

There are rumors that Rohit will take over, at least in T20I, considering his record as a successful substitute captain of the IPL, he won five championships with the Mumbai Indians, further enhancing his proposition. However, once the 2021 ICC Men‘s T20 World Cup ends in the UAE, Kohli is now more willing to focus on batting.

“Virat himself will make the announcement. He is of the view that he needs to concentrate on his batting and go back to becoming what he’s always been — the best batsman in the world,” The Times of India quoted sources as saying.

Kohli, 32, has so far led India in 95 ODIs, and with 65 wins along with 27 defeats. He has a winning percentage of 70.43. In 45 T20Is so far where he has been the captain, India have won 27 times while losing 14 times.

On the other hand, Rohit, 34, has led India 10 times in ODI. Leading them to victories on eight occasions. While losing twice. In T20Is, he has captained them 19 times of which they have won 15 and lost four.

“It will wrap up a historic Test cycle from an India perspective. Virat is also the first to realise that his overall responsibilities as captain are taking a toll on his batting.

He needs that space and freshness because he has a lot more to offer. If Rohit takes over as whiteball captain, Virat can continue leading India’s red-ball team. He will work on his T20 and One-day batting. He’s just 32. Given his fitness, he will easily play top cricket for another five to six years at least. The report stated.

One of the most important view about the captaincy of Kohli is that he has failed to win a major ICC tournament.  Recently, in June, India lost at the final of the World Test World Championship, It  boosted the talks. However, according to the TOI report, Kohli, Rohit and India, team management has had meetings in recent months on the change of roles in white ball cricket.

With Gameweek 4 coming to end, it’s been a very exciting weekend in the Premier League. All the big teams held their ground, and there were some unexpected results. Let’s dive into reviewing the results, highlighting the main talking points of the weekend.

The Ashes 2021 could end up being a big sporting occasion in Australia.  Cricket enthusiasts would require a vaccine passport to wait as Cricket Australia hopes for full crowds for all five tests.
CA is also hoping to offer assurances to the ECB and the England players in the coming weeks.   Some family members might be able to accompany them to Australia for the prolonged tour.

In a recent interview CA leader executive Nick Hockley said Ashes will be a key event this summer. Keeping in mind the modern-day Covid-19 outbreaks in Sydney and Melbourne causing lockdowns and interstate border closures.

Australia's vaccination process is improving and Hockley believes that will be the key to getting complete crowds back for all 5 test matches. Vaccine passport scheme is a decision that government will take. Strong eye is being kept on what other countries are doing .

"I assume it truly is wherein we can plan things carefully with the health government, with the venues, aand need complete crowds," Hockley informed SEN.

"We want crowds again and taking part in the cricket and that is something we can plan through over the approaching months. We remain extremely optimistic."

He assured that England players could be able to bring own family members to Australia. Despite the fact that the final choice does hinge at the Australian government as international borders remain closed. With restrictions on those who can input and strict quarantine regulations upon entry. There have been reviews that a number of players could withdraw from the tour.

"Our hope is that over the course of the coming weeks we'll be able to provide the assurance that the plans we'll have in place will provide them with the comfort. They'll have a great experience and for those that want to bring family members that they can,".

"Ultimately it will be their decision as to who they'll bring but as we said we're working extremely constructively with the ECB.
We've all got a huge amount of experience now in what this takes. The plans and the excecution of the plans.

We're very much working in partnership with the ECB and giving them full knowledge of what they can expect when they arrive in Australia, Hockley stated".

Australia's men's domestic season is scheduled to begin on Saturday with a set of 1-day Marsh Cup games. But those matches are expected to be postponed until later within the season. New South Wales and Victoria remain in lockdown. Players from each states not able to tour somewhere else in the meanwhile.

Rashid Khan stepped down as captain. He said "the selection committee and ACB has not taken his consent for the team, declared by ACB media". All-rounder Mohammad Nabi will lead the team now.

In July, chief selector Asadullah Khan had given up his post, refering to "an excessive amount of interference" and obstruction from "non-cricketers" in the board.
Who have "no information about the players and selection" as the principle explanations behind his choice to look down.

Afghanistan's team for the T20 World Cup contained a few players who had done well previously. Yet not been important for the national set-up lately. It includes Mohammad Shahzad, who got suspended for one year in late 2019, and has qualified to play since August 2020.

The speed couple of Shapoor Zadran and Dawlat Zadran are in the squad. Shapoor last played a T20I for Afghanistan in March 2020, Dawlat in September 2019. The injury-inclined Hamid Hassan, who hasn't played a T20I for Afghanistan since March 2016, was likewise essential for the team.

Interestingly, the team decided had 18 players, with just two set apart as reserves. According to the ICC's guidelines, each group needs to name a team of 15 players.

With an arrangement for naming reserve players. In April 2021, the ICC had expanded the team size for ICC events from 23 to 30. Including support staff, as a feature in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic.

With Rashid's stepping down from from captaincy.  Also the number of players named over the constraint of 15. There will probably be changes to Afghanistan's team.

Afghanistan's last T20I series was in March 2021 against Zimbabwe, during which Asghar Afghan led the group.

Team by ACB: Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Karim Janat, Hazratullah Zazai, Gulbadin Naib, Usman Ghani, Naveen ul Haq, Asghar Afghan, Hamid Hassan, Mohammad Nabi, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Najibullah Zadran, Dawlat Zadran, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Shapoor Zadran, Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Qais Ahmad

Welcome to a new series where I'll be weekly discussing the Premier League fixture's. Giving insight on that matches happenings, current squad situations and who I predict to win and be amongst the goals. 

India announced their 18-member squad, including reserves, on Wednesday night. This squad will play in the T20 WORLD CUP 2021, taking place in the UAE and Oman in the months of October-November. Selectors have given a shock to people as well as some players. The following are the squad’s two most important announcements:

Ravichandran Ashwin will return to white ball cricket after a four-year absence. Ashwin played his last white ball match in the Champions Trophy final against Pakistan. After that, the experienced offspinner did not get a chance to play.

As you have probably heard, powerful people make powerful places. This quote is surely in use by the BCCI. MS Dhoni is mentoring India’s squad for the World Cup. Under his leadership, India has won all the major ICC events.

Former captain MS Dhoni will be back withinside the Team India dugout — this time, as a mentor for the T20 World Cup.

Sources stated India’s choking in white-ball cricket in ICC tournaments under captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri is one of the key elements in the back of the selection.

The team has both fallen on the very last hurdle or did not make it to the very last hurdle of the Champions Trophy, and World T20 and 50-over World Cups.

Kohli hasn’t even led Royal Challengers Bangalore to an IPL title. Dhoni, who leads Chennai Super Kings, is a 3-time IPL-winning captain and has delivered domestically. He also has 3 ICC trophies — World T20, Champions Trophy and the World Cup.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah stated the selection to name up the 40-year-old retired global and the country’s most-celebrated white-ball cricketer after he met Dhoni in Dubai, wherein IPL teams have begun training to finish the incomplete Covid-hit Season 14.

The BCCI is hopeful that Dhoni will assist Kohli crack the white-ball code“No one can guide this Indian team better than Dhoni. He has plenty of experience and the players trust him a lot. His presence in the dugout will help players and support staff. Jay (Shah) felt that Dhoni is the only person who can help the team during the T20 World Cup, so he dialled him,”a BCCI source stated.

Besides, with Shastri’s tenure finishing after the T20 World Cup, and the BCCI now no longer eager to resume his contract. Dhoni’s appointment could be vital to fill in temporary roles.

Will the Royals side led by young captain Sanju Samson be able to cope with their star players missing?Or will the crumble under the pressure and not be able to live up to the name of being inaugural IPL winners. 

Can MS Dhoni make it 4 IPL titles, or will CSK miss out on what could be MSD's final IPL season. 

Can the change in name and colours act as a booster for Punjab and changer their fortunes, or is it going to be same old team same old story for the club ?

Can Mumbai Indians go back-to-back or will the defending champions not be able to clinch their 6th title?

With the 14th IPL ready for restart after being suspended earlier in the year due to COVID-19, RCB is back and raring to go to secure their first IPL for the franchise.

Can Virat and AB lead the squad to become champions or will history repeat itself once again?

A lackluster performance in the 4th test after taking the lead in the first innings. England will be looking to bounce back in the series to level it at 2-2. England camp would be devastated after what happened at the Oval two days ago. Taking the lead in the first innings and then failing to capitalise on the chances to take wickets. A lot of things swayed away from the english side.
On the other hand the Indian camp is joyous and relieved after a devastating performance in the Leeds test. India managed to bounce back and win the test match against a relentless english that was ready to dismantle them again.

India will not be looking to introduce big changes in the squad before locking horns with England for the final test at Old Trafford. Wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler and left-arm spinner Jack Leech have been roped in by England for the final test.
The last Test of the series among India and England will be played in Manchester from September 10. For both the groups, this challenge will be something big. India will go all guns blazing to win the match whereas England will look to avoid a famous loss. It’s a task for team India to figure out how to dominate the game and make history by sealing the series 3-1.

Batsman Sam Billings has been sent back to play county cricket. Buttler, who was out of the fourth Test in light of the introduction of his second child, will be seen playing in the last Test.
