New Delhi, Aug 3 (Ians) Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes that one major difference in the build-up of the 2023 Men’s Odi World Cup as compared to the preparation undertaken by the 2011 tournament-winning team, has been the significantly lesser time of playing matches as a cohesive unit.
After the end of 2007 Odi World Cup and before the start of the 2011 edition, India had played 118 ODIs. With the 2023 World Cup being just over two months away, India have played just 57 matches after the end of the 2019 edition in England. Moreover, India has played 42 ODIs since the start of 2021, with 44 players being tried out, highlighting that a settled combination hasn’t been achieved yet.
“There is one significant difference in the build-ups of 2011 and 2023 World Cups, which is the amount of T20 cricket being played. I still remember we were very reluctant to play T20 cricket even after winning the inaugural T...

Ahmedabad, May 30 (Ians) Chennai Super Kings players were ecstatic after they defeated Gujarat Titans by five wickets via the Dls method in a rain-interrupted final and opener Ruturaj Gaikwad dedicated the victory to teammate Ambati Rayudu, who will be retiring after this season.
In a final stretched over three days, Chennai were set a revised target of 171 in 15 overs when the rain had stopped play a few balls into their innings after the Gujarat Titans had rode on a quickfire 96 by Sai Sudharsan and a half-century by Wriddhiman Saha to post 214/4 in 20 overs.
Ruturaj Giakwad said winning Ipl 2023 in the final spread over three days and lasting just 35 overs was special considering that Csk had finished ninth among 10 teams last season.
“This one was special, because of how it went last year for us. To come back in style, win away games, win in Chepauk, and the finish was unbelievable.

Ipl 2023 Final: In battle between Mentor Dhoni and protege Hardik, Csk face Gujarat Titans (preview)
Ahmedabad, May 27 (Ians) In a battle between mentor Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his protege Hardik Pandya, the four times champions Chennai Super Kings (Csk) will lock horns with defending champions Gujarat Titans in the all-important final of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium, here on Sunday.
Interestingly both these sides — Csk and Gt — had kicked off the season at the same venue, so Ipl 2023 has come full circle.
The Titans had beaten Csk in the opening game. However, earlier this week, Csk levelled the score with a comprehensive win in Qualifier 1 in Chennai. And now, it’s time for the final showdown between the two teams, which are built around the same philosophy.
If one observes closely, both these teams keep things simple, back their players, and create a relaxed team environment. Even Hardik Pandya has praised the Csk team environment recently but on the field, he will look to trump Dhoni.

Against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai had Devon Conway and Shivam Dube making fifties at a strike-rate above 180. They were also helped by Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu and Moeen Ali striking above 180 in their cameos to take Chennai to 226/6, which was enough for a win at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
In their home match against Delhi Capitals, none of the Chennai batters reached 30 runs, but were aided by small bursts of 20s from six batters to get a win in their pocket. This trend is not limited to Chennai alone – Punjab Kings chased down 201 against them with multiple cameos while Mumbai Indians chased down 213 against Rajasthan Royals, thanks to Suryakumar Yadav’s 55, followed by short yet sharp knocks from Tim David, Cameron Green and Tilak Varma.

Chennai, May 14 (Ians) Shivam Dube continued his good six-hitting form by smashing 48 not out to take Chennai Super Kings to 144/6 against Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Sunday.
Dube’s unbeaten 48 off 34 balls, which included one four and three sixes, helped Chennai get some valuable runs on a challenging pitch. For Kolkata, Sunil Narine and local boy Varun Chakaravarthy bowled well to take two wickets each to keep Chennai to their lowest total of Ipl 2023.
Electing to bat first, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway looked at ease in driving, cutting, and flicking off fast bowlers Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana to pick three fours in the first three overs.
After Gaikwad swept Chakaravarthy for four, the leg-spinner bounced back when he found a turn on leg-break which the right-handed batter tried to slog and top-edge flew to short third man.

Chennai, May 11 (Ians) The 27-run win against Delhi Capitals took Chennai Super Kings to 15 points, moving them one point adrift of table-toppers Gujarat Titans, but what was more pleasing for Chennai Super Kings skipper M.S. Dhoni was the fact that his key allrounders Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali got the chance to be in the middle for a longer duration in Match No 55 of Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023.
Jadeja faced 16 deliveries in the middle and scored 21 runs while Moeen Ali batted at No.3 and faced 12 balls, scoring 12 runs as Csk rode on crucial contributions by Shivam Dube (25) and Ambati Rayudu (23) and a final flourish by Dhoni (20 off 9) to post 167/8. Both usually do not get to face a lot of deliveries as theycome down the order.

Chennai, May 6 (Ians) A high-quality bowling performance from Chennai Super Kings (Csk), led by young pacer Matheesha Pathirana’s 3-15, set the base for the four-time champions’ six-wicket win against Mumbai Indians in a one-sided Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 match at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.
Pathirana was on fire in his spell at the back end of the innings, giving away just 15 runs in his four overs, not conceding a single boundary while picking three wickets, denying Mumbai the finishing kick they needed after losing their top three batters in power-play as they ended up at 139/8.
He was also supported by Deepak Chahar and Tushar Deshpande taking two wickets each while Ravindra Jadeja had a scalp to his name. For Mumbai, barring Nehal Wadhera’s 64 off 50 balls and Piyush Chawla’s spell of 2-25, no other player stepped up to the occasion as Chennai chased down 140 with 14 balls to spare.

Chennai, April 13 (Ians) A brilliant all-round effort by Ravichandran Ashwin (30 runs & 2-25) and a fine half-century by Jos Buttler (52) helped Rajasthan Royals prevail over Chennai Super Kings by three runs in a thrilling Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 encounter here in which M.S Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja waged a valiant battle that went in vain.
Buttler had helped Rajasthan Royals recover from the shock of losing Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) and with help from Devdutt Padikkal (38), Ashwin (30) and Shimron Hetmyer (30 not out) helped them reach a competitive 175/8 in their 20 overs after they were asked to bat first by Csk.
Chasing a target of 176 on a slow turner and with dew coming down in copious amounts was expected to be easy for Chennai Super Kings in what was the 200th match for Dhoni as captain.

Chennai, April 12 (Ians) Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss in his 200th match as Chennai Super Kings captain and decided to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium here on Wednesday.
Dhoni said the reason he decided to field first as he expects the pitch to be slightly on the slower side and the dew will come into play later in the evening.
“It will be slightly on the slower side. There could be dew around. Feels good [to lead for the 200th time]. The crowd was fantastic. The new stadium is like playing in Switzerland. We have seen cricket change. Feels good to have survived for so long and it’s a format we have to keep evolving. Important to get rid of mistakes in the later stages,” Dhoni said at the toss.
