Mumbai, May 9 (Ians) Suryakumar Yadav put on display a power-hitting masterclass to post his highest score in Ipl — a 35-ball 83 — and with Nehal Wadhera blasting an unbeaten half-century, Mumbai Indians handed Royal Challengers Bangalore a six-wicket defeat in Match No 54 of India Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at Wankhede Stadium, here on Tuesday.

Sharjah, Oct 23 (Ians) After being criticised for not giving enough opportunities to youngsters, Chennai Super Kings (Csk) skipper Ms Dhoni brought in young batsmen Ruturaj Gaekwad and N Jagadeesan only to see his team's batting order hit a new low against Mumbai Indians (Mi) here on Friday.
Gaekwad had played just two games while Jagadeesan featured in one game before Friday's match.
However, both fell for a duck each, with Gaekwad falling leg before to Trent Boult and Jagadeesan getting caught in slips off Jasprit Bumrah, leaving the team tottering at three runs for the loss of three wickets.
Soon Faf du Plessis fell for one, leaving the team at three runs for the loss of four wickets.
Former India captain Kris Srikkanth had criticised Dhoni after the previous match against Rajasthan Royals for not giving opportunities to youngsters and continuing with Kedar Jadhav.

New Delhi, Oct 22 (Ians) At the start of this year's Indian Premier League (Ipl), it had seemed that two journeymen -- Rajasthan Royals' leg-spinning all-rounder Rahul Tewatia and Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Rahul Tripathi -- would overshadow most others.
The others that come instantly to mind, though they may not have made as big an impression as Tewatia and Tripathi, are Jaydev Undakat (Rajasthan Royals), Mandeep Singh (Kings XI Punjab), Mohit Sharma (Delhi Capitals this year), Krishnappa Gowtham (Kings XI Punjab), Saurabh Tiwary (Mumbai Indians), and Varun Aaron (Rajasthan Royals).
Tripathi, who was traded to Kkr from Rr before this season, hit 36 and 81 in his first two games before failing in the next few games. When he fell victim to speedster Mohammed Siraj on Wednesday night, it seemed like his Ipl 2020 was going to be over following a string of poor scores in the last five matches -- he has...

Abu Dhabi, Oct 19 (Ians) Chennai Super Kings (Csk) won the toss and elected to bat first against Rajasthan Royals (Rr) in their Indian Premier League match here on Monday.
All-rounder Dwayne Bravo is injured and will be replaced by Josh Hazlewood while leg-spinner Piyush Chawla has come in for Karn Sharma.
"We will bat first. It is a used wicket and chances are it may slow down as the game progresses. He won't be available for the next few games," said Dhoni after the toss.
For Rr, Ankit Rajpoot has replaced Jaydev Unadkat, who went for an expensive penultimate over that allowed the Bangalore franchise to win on Saturday.

Chennai Super Kings: Faf du Plessis, Sam Curran, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Ms Dhoni(Wk/Capt), Ravindra Jadeja, Kedar Jadhav, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla, Shardul Thakur, Josh Hazlewood.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 18 (Ians/GloFans) Chennai Super Kings (Csk) and Rajasthan Royals (Rr) have a chance to jump out of the bottom three of the Ipl table when they face each other at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Monday. Both sides are on six points and Csk are one place above Rr on sixth because of their superior net run rate.
Csk's top order of Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu showed they have regained their touch in recent matches, while Ravindra Jadeja was also quite handy with the bat in their last game against the Delhi Capitals (DC).
However, the form of captain Ms Dhoni could be a cause of concern. The veteran wicketkeeper batsman has not been able match up to the lofty standards he has set over the years with the bat this season. With 3,994 runs from 169 games, Dhoni is also the leading run-scorer for his side.

Dubai, Oct 12 (Ians/GloFans) Three-time champions Chennai Super kings (Csk) now have no choice but to deliver to keep their play-off hopes alive when they face SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) in a return fixture of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) on Tuesday.
Despite being termed as one of the most successful teams in the history of the cash-rich league, the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led team has been completely off-colour so far, suffering five defeats in seven games.
Csk have never missed the play-offs in the seasons they have played -- barring the the 2016 and 2017 seasons when the Supreme Court banned them following the 2013 Ipl betting scandal. But looking at the present circumstances, the Yellow Brigade's journey ahead seems difficult.
The main concern for the Csk side is the lacklustre form of their batsmen, especially the ones in the middle-order. While openers Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis look good with the bat,...

Dubai, Oct 9 (Ians/Glofans) Three-time Indian Premier League (Ipl) champions Chennai Super Kings (Csk) have been off-colour so far in the ongoing season. They will now be up against arch-rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb).
Both sides have some great weapons in their armoury; the two have been inconsistent in the ongoing edition.
While Csk sit at the sixth spot with just four points in their kitty, the Virat Kohli-led side is a step ahead.
Csk's major concern has been the middle-order. While Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis are in good form, the middle-order has let them down.
Despite restricting Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) to a moderate total in their previous outing, the Yellow Brigade failed to overhaul the target by 10 runs.
Kedhar Jadhav's consecutive poor shows too have raised eyebrows. The Csk think-tank might axe him from the playing XI and include either N Jagadeesan or Mitchell Santner,...

Dubai, Oct 9 (Ians) Former India opener Virender Sehwag has lashed out at the Chennai Super Kings batsmen, saying some of them think of the franchise as a "government job".
The Ms Dhoni-led side suffered their fourth defeat of the ongoing Indian Premier League (Ipl) season on Wednesday. Chasing 168 against Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr), Csk were, at one stage, in a comfortable position as they needed 79 runs from the last 10 overs. However, they failed to accelerate with both Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu failing to up the ante.
At the end, Ravindra Jadeja and Kedar Jadhav remained not out at 21 (8 balls) and 7 (12 balls) as Kkr won the match by 10 runs.
"It should have been chased down. But the dot balls played by Kedar Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja didn't help," Sehwag told Cricbuzz.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 8 (Ians/GloFans) On their way to a narrow 10-run win over three-time champions Chennai Super Kings (Csk) -- thanks to Rahul Tripathi's 51-ball 81 -- Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) did something unusual on Wednesday. They won the toss and elected to bat for the first time since 2015 Ipl, after 69 matches.
The momentum gained with the decision at the toss ultimately took them to a win, and the third place on the points table (6 points from 5 matches).
Tripathi slammed eight fours and three maximums at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, until Bravo came in and finally dismissed Tripathi in the 17th over with the help of Shane Watson.
In-form Gill (11 off 12) was the first one to depart at 37/1 followed by Nitish Rana (9) at 87/2. By the 14th over, Csk checked Kkr with regular wickets as Morgan fell cheaply for seven off 10 followed by Russell who could only make two.

While Csk did well in the death overs to bowl out Kkr for 167, the latter responded with a death over masterclass of their own to restrict Csk to 157/5.
Chasing a target of 168 for victory, Csk had the upper hand until the start of the 17th over, when they had Sam Curran and skipper Ms Dhoni in the middle and needed 44 to win off the last four overs. Dhoni fell to Varun Chakravarthy in that over for a 12-ball 11 after which Curran fell to Andre Russell off the first ball of the next over.

Dubai, Oct 3 (Ians/GloFans) Thrice champions Chennai Super Kings (Csk) failed to take advantage of a six-day rest and on return lost to SunRisers Hyderabad on Friday. Csk will have another opportunity to redeem themselves when they meet Kings XI Punjab (Kxip), who are still looking for their first Ipl title, in Sunday's second encounter here.
Csk have undoubtedly dominated the lucrative tournament since its inception in 2008, but the Ms Dhoni-led side is struggling this year. Nothing has been going right for Csk: first it was off-field issues, and now they have failed to deliver on the field as well, suffering three defeats on the trot.
Csk are surely a star-studded side on paper, but so far they haven't lived up to the expectations they have raised. And in such a situation, Csk need to salvage pride when they face Kxip here.

New Delhi, Oct 4 (Ians) Former India opener Gautam gambhir has jumped to the defence of off-colour Chennai Super Kings (Csk) all-rounder Shane Watson, saying he would give him four to five more Ipl matches to help him regain form.
Csk find themselves at the bottom of the Ipl table this season after three defeats in four matches. Their batting has looked rusty and there are many calling for opener Watson to be dropped, among other things.
However, former India captain Gambhir feels it is a bad idea to drop Watson considering he has been a consistent performer and the Csk's batting lineup as a whole is struggling.
"I would never drop Shane Watson, because their entire batting order looks so rusty. Kedar Jadhav looks rusty. Ambati Rayudu looks rusty," Gambhir said in a chat show on ESPNCricinfo.

Dubai, Oct 1 (Ians/GloFans) An off-colour Chennai Super Kings (Csk), coming back after a six-day rest, will hope for a change of luck when they clash with SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) in an Ipl match between wooden-spooners at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Friday evening.
Both teams are placed at the bottom of the eight-table points table with two points each from three matches. Although there is enough time for the two teams to stage a comeback into the tournament, it is always better to qualify for the play-offs as early as possible - and then try out experiments.
Despite being at the receiving end in their last two games, three-time champions Csk have a reputation of starting the league shakily before making a roaring comeback in the later-half of the league. That goes for all teams, and not just Csk.

Dubai, Sep 27 (Ians) Having played a vital role in Delhi Capitals' emphatic 44-run win against the Chennai Super Kings, South African pacer Anrich Nortje will look to continue the same run of form in his debut Indian Premier League (Ipl) season.
Nortje, who went wicket-less in his debut game against Kings XI Punjab, finally opened his account on Friday at the cricket extravaganza by scalping two crucial wickets against Ms Dhoni-led Csk in his second outing. While defending the total of 176 runs, he bagged his first Ipl wicket in the form of Murali Vijay during the last powerplay over and then removed Kedar Jadhav in the 16th over to put his side in the driver's seat.

New Delhi, Sep 26 (Ians) After being criticised for coming into bat too late against Rajasthan Royals (Rr), Chennai Super Kings (Csk) skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni promoted himself one spot, to No.6, against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Friday, but to no avail. The result for his team was the same: a comprehensive defeat.
Dhoni, who turned 39 in July, couldn't get going and at times failed to connect bat to ball as well. In fact, when he walked into bat after Kedar Jadhav's wicket which reduced Chennai to 98/4 in the 16th over, the asking rate was already looking almost insurmountable.
Dhoni could only managed a 12-ball 15 (2x4s) before wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant caught him off Kagiso Rabada. The DC bowlers, despite a couple of dropped catches, restricted a lacklustre Csk to 131/7 in 20 overs and emerged victorious by 44 runs.

This is the first time since 2010 that DC have started an Ipl season with two consecutive victories. They are on top of the table now with four points.
DC's Axar Patel continued his successful run against Shane Watson, dismissing the veteran Australian in the fifth over while he was on 14 off 16 balls. Watson's opening partner Murali Vijay (10) also struggled to get runs on board and succumbed to Nortje in the next over.

Sharjah, Sep 23 (Ians) Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir believes Ms Dhoni should have batted at the top of the order during Chennai Super Kings' 16-run loss to Rajasthan Royals in their Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2020 clash.
Chasing 217 for the highest total chased in Ipl history, Dhoni on Tuesday came to the middle in the 14th over when Csk needed 103 off 38 balls. Faf du Plessis at the other end was struggling at that point. Sam Curran, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Kedar Jadhav were sent ahead of Dhoni, who himself came in at number seven.
"I was a bit surprised, to be honest. Ms Dhoni batting at number seven? And sending Gaikwad before him, Sam Curran before him. (It) makes no sense to me. In fact, you should be leading from the front. And this is not what you call leading from the front. Batting at number seven when you're chasing what 217? The game was over.

Sharjah, Sep 23 (Ians/GloFans) Sanju Samson's blistering 32-ball 74 at No.3, fast bowler Jofra Archer's fireworks with the bat -- he carted four consecutive sixes in the last over -- and leggie Rahul Tewatia's three-wicket burst propelled Rajasthan Royals (Rr) to a comfortable 16-run win over Chennai Super Kings (Csk) in an Ipl match here on Tuesday.
Rr, champions in the first Ipl edition in 2008, posted a gigantic 216 for seven wickets in 20 overs after being asked to bat by Csk captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni who won the toss. Chasing, three-time champions Csk finished with 200 for six wickets in 20 overs, despite a late surge from Faf du Plessis, who hammered a 37-ball 72 at the Sharjah International Stadium.
After some blistering batting display by Samson and captain Steve Smith took their side to a big total, the Rajasthan Royals bowlers also stepped up and comfortably defended the target as their...

South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to bat against India in their World Cup fixture at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday.
South Africa have brought in Hashim Amla and Tabraiz Shamsi whereas India has left out Mohammad Shami, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Dinesh Karthik from their squad for this match.
After the toss, Faf du Plessis said: We are having a bat. It is mostly because of the makeup of the side against two spinners, that's the best option. Amla is back for this game. Morris is still playing, and we're bringing in an extra spinner. We didn't have the ideal start, but we need to keep going. We need to win six games to get to the semis, we have seven games left.
Virat Kohli said: The crowd support will be massive for us. Lots of people who live here and lots who are traveling here.
