    David Warner | SRH skipper

    We are gonna bowl. I don’t think too much is going to change. The last game here, it held up a bit more in the first half of the game. It came on quite nice in the back end. We just have to wait and see.

    It’s alright, we get another game today (when he was told that his team haven’t been successful while chasing). He’s (KW) done something to his quad, that’s unfortunate. We have the big man Holder coming in.

    Nadeem is in for Thampi. It’s been tough not to include him (Holder) in the team before. We backed our strengths – top-heavy, tried to defend as much as we could. But things have changed and we have to try something else.

    I am always nice and calm. After a couple of losses, I was a bit edgy, now have had time to relax and gather my thoughts. It’s quite difficult in the bubble. For us, it’s about coming out and putting our best foot forward.

    Steve Smith | RR skipper

    The wickets are getting older and older, slowing down late in the game. I was looking to bat. Not anymore, you get used to it (playing against Warner). We have been playing IPL for a long time now.

    It’s part of the world. We are fortunate to be involved in such a great tournament. It was a good win the other night (against CSK). Our bowlers did an outstanding job and Jos was playing on a different wicket. We are heading in the right direction, playing good cricket for large chunks of the game.

    We need to close it out. You got to play well to make it to the finals and you need to peak at the right time. We are getting some right form together and hopefully, we can put on a good show tonight. Same team.

    Playing XI

    Rajasthan Royals(RR)

    Ben Stokes, Robin Uthappa, Sanju Samson(w), Steven Smith(c), Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Ankit Rajpoot, Kartik Tyagi.

    Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH)

    David Warner(c), Jonny Bairstow(w), Priyam Garg, Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Abdul Samad, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan.

    RR vs SRH Highlights

    Rajasthan Royals(RR) Batting

    Robin Uthappa and Ben Stokes get in to the crease to lead RR. Sandeep Sharma opens the attack against RR. While RR begins to make some good quality shots Holder makes a breakthrough by dismissing Uthappa.

    Sanju Samson gets in to the strike. Samson and Stokes build a much-needed partnership. Again Holder’s spell makes another wicket bt dismissing Samson. Rashid Khan in the next over dismissed Stokes and makes a massive breakthrough. RR lands in trouble after losing back to back wickets. The much expected Stokes got dismissed for 30 runs and RR is in need to build a partnership to make a decent target.

    While Steve Smith and Riyan Parag seem to make some quality runs it’s Holder again makes a couple of wickets in his last over. Holder dismissed Steve Smith and Riyan Parag in the 19th over and makes RR to bat with new batsmen.

    SRH lands in trouble after missing it’s two aggressive opening batsmen. Pressure builds over the SRH as they are in need to build a steady partnership. Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar joins hand in this situation and leads SRH.

    This duo with their aggressive strikes moves SRH to score 58 runs for 2 wicket loss at the end of the powerplay. This duo seems unstoppable as they build the much-needed match-winning partnership. With a boundary, Vijay Shankar leads SRH to register their first win of IPL 2020 while chasing.

    Man of the Match

    Manish Pandey | SRH

    There were enough talks around our middle order. High time for us to perform. I just wanted to stay on the wicket and play my shots. Really happy that it came off today. We had the opportunity to win the game for SRH, really happy I’m standing here.

    We had plans to see Jofra off and had a plan to take on the leggies and Indian bowlers, and it paid off. The first ball I middled through covers and I tried to keep my shape. I was hitting it well and I tried to get my team over the line.

    Vijay was also long due and he stepped up for us batting at 4. We are trying to take positives from this match and we’ll try to keep it up for the rest of the tournament.

    Chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board, Tom Harrison, confirmed the development, saying England players would fly to Cape Town on a chartered flight and praised the plans of CSA for the bio-bubble.

I had two heroes — one is our own Sunil Gavaskar, who played for India for several years and performed well, he was my batting hero,” Tendulkar said.

    “Along with him, it was Viv Richards of the West Indies. These were my batting heroes when I played cricket. But generally in life, then I would say that my hero was my father (Ramesh Tendulkar). So much time I spent with him and he was mild, calm and composed, he was a man with good nature. So, it is my dream that I become like him.

    IPL 2020 KKR vs RCB Highlights: KKR is set to play the 39th match of IPL 2020 against RCB. KKR is in need to win the match in order to stay ahead in the competition for the fourth spot in the points table.

    If RCB wins this match they would move to the second position next to DC in the IPL 2020 points table.

    Match: Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB)

    Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

    Captains View 

    Eoin Morgan | KKR skipper

    We are gonna bat first. The wicket looks good. The games we have won so far, the majority of them we have batted first. It seems to have worked for us throughout the tournament so far.

    There’s (batting in the powerplay) been a continuous improvement from the start of the tournament to the last game. In the last game, we paced it really well. The wickets have been slower which has made it more challenging.

    The guys at the top against Sunrisers did a great job. A couple of changes. Banton and Prasidh come in for of Mavi and Russell. Dre picked up a niggle in the last game, Sunil is still not 100%.

    Virat Kohli | RCB skipper

    We would have batted first. Looks like a good pitch with, shorter boundary on one side. It should be a good chase as long as we bowl well first and restrict a strong batting line-up to a decent total.

    It’s not a drastic change, on the day if you are playing well, you can win on any ground. We bowled them out cheaply in Sharjah which was supposedly not happening in any game. We did play good cricket last time here.

    It’s all about how we come out to the field and execute our plans. We are going back to the bowling line-up that played against them last time around. So, Shahbaz Ahmed misses out and Siraj replaces him.

    Playing XI

    Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR)

    Shubman Gill, Tom Banton, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan(c), Dinesh Karthik(w), Rahul Tripathi, Pat Cummins, Lockie Ferguson, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Varun Chakravarthy.

    Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB)

    Devdutt Padikkal, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli(c), AB de Villiers(w), Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Washington Sundar, Chris Morris, Isuru Udana, Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal.

    KKR vs RCB Highlights

    Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) Batting

    Shubman Gill and Tripathi get in to lead KKR. Chris Morris opens the attack against KKR. Siraj in his first over dismissed Tripathi and Rana in back-to-back deliveries and completes the over as maiden. KKR loses one of it’s best batting pair within an over.

    Navdeep Saini in the next over dismissed Gill and makes a massive blow to the KKR batting order. Siraj bowled his second over next to Saini and dismissed Tom Banton. KKR loses its wicket almost every over. At the end of the powerplay, KKR scored 17 runs for 4 wicket loss.

    KKR struggles to face RCB bowlers as they lose another wicket of Dinesh Karthik for 4 runs and scored 36 runs for 5 wicket loss. RCB bowlers set to play in the aggressive mode as they dismissed almost every player within scoring 10 runs. Washington Sundar scatters the only hope of KKR by dismissing Morgan for 30 runs. KKR finally scored 84 runs for 8 wicket loss.

    Devdutt Padikkal and Finch get in to lead RCB to chase the target. Pat Cummins gets in to lead the attack against RCB. With a lower target to chase down RCB makes a decent start where RCB scored 44 runs for no wicket loss at the end of the powerplay.

    KKR is in need to make back to back wickets as RCB did in the first innings. Ferguson makes a back to back wickets in his first over by dismissing Finch and  Devdutt Padikkal.

    Back to back wickets poses a threat to the RCB batting order. With Virat Kohli in the strike, RCB still in the comfort zone of winning.

    Without any big shots, RCB makes their 7th victory of the IPL 2020 by beating KKR by 8 wickets.

    Chennai Super Kings faces another massive blow as Dwayne Bravo has been ruled out of IPL 2020. Dwayne Bravo plays as an all-rounder for Chennai Super Kings, where he bats right-handed and is a pace bowler.

    Bravo Ruled out of IPL 2020

    He has been playing for CSK since 2011, after starting his career with Mumbai Indians in 2008. He played for Gujarat Lions in 2016-17. The senior all-rounder suffered an injury during Chennai’s match against Delhi on October 17 and was only able to bowl 3 overs out of his 4-over quota.

    On Tuesday, Chennai CEO K Viswanathan told PTI that “Dwayne Bravo has been ruled out of the IPL due to a groin injury.”

    Chennai Super Kings faces loads of trouble from the very first beginning of the IPL 2020. Earlier CSK key players Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh have been withdrawn from the IPL 2020 amid personal reasons.

    CSK lands in trouble after their pullback and many rumours have been started to spread after Raina’s announcement. Soon CSK allrounder Raina makes an official statement and puts pulls stops for the rumours.

    Already CSK’s possibilities of entering playoff have been in a great question, adding to that Bravo’s injury makes it even worse. But still, MS Dhoni-led CSK has the possibility to enter the playoff in IPL 2020 if this happens.

    Bravo in IPL 2020

    Bravo has played 6 out of Chennai’s 10 matches at the Dream11 IPL 2020. After missing out on the first few matches due to a similar niggle he picked up at the CPL, Bravo has taken six wickets at an economy of 8.57.

    MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings is one of the best teams in the IPL. But CSK struggles to show their best in the 13th edition of IPL so far and is on the verge to miss the playoff. After losing 7 matches in IPL 2020 so far CSK has been pushed to the bottom of the IPL points table.

    After their latest loss against Rajasthan Royals on Monday, the chances of the MS Dhoni-led side to make it to the playoffs look near to impossible. But still, CSK can make it to the playoff, Yes CSK can still make it out to the playoff, but only on the basis of the results of other teams.

    CSK in IPL 2020
    CSK

    How CSK can enter the playoff in IPL 2020?

    First and foremost, the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led team needs to win all of their remaining games. This will take their points tally to 14. Out of these four matches, two are against Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab both fighting for that fourth spot.

    The next thing they need to ensure is that none of these wins are last-over finishes. While chasing they need to finish games with few balls to go and while defending, this must ensure that margin is decent. It will boost Chennai’s net run rate which currently stands at -0.463.

    Historically, we have seen teams qualify for play-offs with 14 points. However, the phenomenon IPL has been, 2019 saw SRH move to the next round with just 12 points pipping KKR on the basis of net run rate. CSK will be looking to do the same.

    CSK in IPL since 2008

    Dhoni-led CSK so far entered playoff in every season they played so far. CSK is also the three-times champion in the IPL and holds the second position next to MI who bags four trophies so far.

    After announcing his retirement Dhoni fans expect a massive game from their “Thala”. But Dhoni struggles to make an impact in the IPL 2020 hosts in UAE.

    MS Dhoni best finisher
    MS Dhoni

    Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar reveals the reason how MS Dhoni evolved as the greatest finisher in cricket. MS Dhoni-led the Indian cricket team and bags all three ICC trophies and becomes the only skipper to do so. Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020.

    Though MSD retires from the international format still he is considered as the best finisher and also one of the best players to strike in the death overs.

    MS Dhoni – The Best Finisher

    MS Dhoni would take his time, calculate meticulously how to go about it, and would then explode with some big hits to put the opponents under pressure. This tactic was used brilliantly from 2011 to 2015 while in the IPL, MS Dhoni showed his genius on many occasions.

    Dhoni

    Speaking on the show Star Sports Selector’s Dugout, former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has revealed how MS Dhoni became one of the best finishers. It involved a thigh pad, some scribbling, and some calculations.

    Sanjay Bangar reveals the reason

    On the show, Bangar revealed, “I came to know recently as to how – in his formative years because he is such a hitter of the ball, has that natural ability to clear – Dhoni curbed his natural instinct. He used to write on his thigh pad – 1, 2 – Tick Tick, and 4, 6 – Cross Cross.

    So, every time he would go out to bat, and he’d be putting on his thigh pad, he’d probably have a look at that. It would remind him that he has to follow a process. And that is how by running those one and two he became such a great finisher,” Bangar said.

    Bangar compares Dhoni with Michael Bevan

    Bangar compared Dhoni with the Australian legend Michael Bevan who plays a crucial role in Australian cricket history. During the 90s period, his calmness under pressure played a big role in Australia getting over the line in pressure situations. Bangar said Dhoni and Bevan had achieved success because they followed a process and it was not about big-hitting.

    “Most finishers in world cricket have realised the importance of singles, doubles. You look at Michael Bevan, look at MS Dhoni. They have this thing in common, which helps them win cricket matches. It’s not those fours and sixes. And that is the process that MS Dhoni follows,” Bangar said.

    Captains View 

    Shreyas Iyer | DC skipper

    We’ll bat first. We have had a lot of success doing that. Need to maximize our powerplay and get to a good total. We had a dramatic game in our last encounter against them (KXIP), and they are also coming off a game with two Super Overs.

    We need to stick to our routines and come out all guns blazing. Players are returning from injuries. Three changes: Pant, Hetmyer, and Sams come in.

    KL Rahul | KXIP skipper

    I would have wanted to bowl first. Mostly because we’ve done that in the last two games. The effort and character that the boys have shown in the nine games have been really great.

    We just did more of that in the last game and getting those two points were important. One change – Neesham comes in for Jordan.

    Kings XI Punjab(KXIP)

    KL Rahul(w/c), Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Deepak Hooda, James Neesham, Murugan Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh.

    Man of the Match 

    Shikhar Dhawan | DC

    Today, it happened that way (that no one could stick around with me). I took the responsibility of holding one end up and was also hitting the boundaries when I got the chance. On my Test debut, I remember I was scoring this frequently.

    I took proper rest and was fresh for this match. I didn’t know ( when asked if he knew that he was the first man in IPL to score back-to-back tons). We gonna have a discussion and see where we can improve. We have been playing very good quite consistently. This is not going to put us down. We would try to come back stronger.

    Dhoni 150th dismissal

    Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni reaches a couple of unique achievements in the CSK vs RR match. MS Dhoni becomes the first to play 200 IPL matches and also completes his 150th dismissals in the IPL.

    Dhoni – 150th Dismissal

    Dhoni at the age of 39 took a stunning single-handed catch to dismiss Sanju Samson which makes his 150th dismissal in IPL. Chahar bowls away on the leg side and found a faint edge and grabbed superbly by Dhoni with one-hand.

    The CSK skipper’s age-defying efforts led to swashbuckling batsman Sanju Samson getting dismissed without opening his account in the clash. Even Chahar was left stunned as MS Dhoni pulled off a blinder.

    The former Indian cricketer’s skills behind the stumps have received acclamation from all the corners. The catch was yet another testimony to MS Dhoni’s abilities to change the dynamics of a duel with his exquisite glove work.

    Suresh Raina Praises Dhoni

    After this stunning catch, MSD receives special praise from Suresh Raina who withdrawn from IPL 2020 amid personal reasons. Raina in his Instagram story with a picture of his catch simply quotes as “catch skipper”.

    CSK hits the bottom of the points table

    The result of the match however did not go in CSK’s as they faced a 7-wicket defeat against RR. Jos Buttler notched up an unbeaten half-century to guide his side to a comfortable win.

    Chasing a lowly target of 127 runs to win, Rajasthan Royals lost both their openers Ben Stokes (19) and Robin Uthappa (4) and wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson (0) inside the Powerplay.

    Earlier, CSK failed to stitch partnerships throughout their innings and restricted to a score of 125/5 by RR in their stipulated 20 overs. The defeat leads CSK to hit the bottom of the IPL 2020 points table and CSK’s chance of entering the IPL 2020 playoff scatters.

    Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik recalls the moment that happened in the Indian dressing room during the Nidahas Trophy finals. India played against Bangladesh in the finals of the Nidahas Trophy in 2018.

    Dinesh Karthik Nidahas Trophy Hero

    Bangladesh set a target of 167 to chase where India drops to 133 runs for 5 wicket loss and lands in trouble. Dinesh Karthik as a savior hits an impressive 29 runs for 8 deliveries and leads India to win the trophy.

    With a boundary required to draw or a six to win, DK hits a flat-six and makes the night to remember forever.

    Regarding this match, DK opens up a few unknown things which happened inside the dressing room before he steps in. Dinesh reveals that it was the then Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma who insisted that the wicketkeeper-batsman had to bat lower. Karthik revealed the constant change in plans left him angry but he was glad everything worked out well.

    Dinesh Karthik opens on the moment

    “I was first ready to bat at number 5 and then Rohit Sharma said that I’ll be going in at number 6. So, I was fine with that. I was pretty sure I would go in at number six and I could see that the difference between the runs needed and the remaining deliveries was increasing,” Karthik said on the eighth episode of “The Finish Line” which was aired on Baseline Ventures’ YouTube.

    “When the fourth wicket fell, I was ready to walk in, but then Rohit said Vijay Shankar should go into bat. So, at that point, I was disappointed and I felt anger, but you obviously don’t question the captain. I am sure Rohit had something in mind, so I just let it be. However, finally walked in at number 7.”

    India is in need to score 34 runs from 12 deliveries which seems to be a bit higher for India to chase down. Rubel Hossain bowls the 19th over and makes a six off the first ball he faced and a boundary of the second delivery. Bangladesh stuns on the DK’s performance and starts to plan to restrict from scoring further.

    But nothing stops DK where India is in need to score 5 runs to win, a six to win, or a boundary to draw. Soumya bowled the last over where DK makes a six and bags the victory for India.

    “A lot of times in life when you’re pushed to the brink, you come up with something special. It was one of those occasions where I had nothing to lose. I had an opportunity where I had the freedom to completely express myself,” Karthik added.

    “I had always practiced situations – 12 runs from 1 over, 20 runs from 2 overs, etc. But I don’t think I had practiced 34 runs from 2 overs. When I went in, I knew the shots I could play and I executed them on that day.”
