MS Dhoni is batting in Chennai Super Kings Jersey

MS Dhoni successfully undergoes knee surgery in Mumbai

By June 2, 2023 0

Chennai Super Kings skipper and former Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni who was seen struggling with his knee in the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League has successfully undergone surgery on his left knee in a Mumbai hospital.

As per Cricbuzz, the operation went well and Dhoni is perfectly fit. Initially, it was expected that he would remain in the hospital for two more days, but later in the evening, it emerged that Dhoni had been discharged.

Dhoni, who led Chennai Super Kings to their fifth IPL title, had flown to Mumbai from Ahmedabad after the IPL final and consulted renowned sports orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, who is also on the BCCI medical panel and had performed surgeries on a number of top Indian cricketers, including Rishabh Pant.

According to John Gloster, former India and current Rajasthan Royals physio, who has worked with Dr Pardiwala, Dhoni is in safe hands.

“Dr Dinshaw is a very competent surgeon, particularly for knees and shoulders. We are lucky to have someone of his capability in India. He is a surgeon who would intervene only when he is assured that the outcome will be significant,” Gloster told Cricbuzz.

CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan revealed that he spoke to Dhoni after the surgery. “I spoke to him after the operation. I cannot explain what the surgery is about but we have been told it is a keyhole surgery. He sounded fine in our conversation,” the CSK official confirmed.

Dhoni had played the entire IPL season with heavy strapping on his left knee and while he looked absolutely fine during wicket-keeping, he came into bat as low as No. 8 at times and didn’t look in his element while running between the wickets. However, things will be better now as the wicketkeeper-batsman will look to recuperate and rebuild.

Celebration of Sevilla wins Europa League

Sevilla prevails AS Roma to win the UEFA Europa League 2022-23

By June 1, 2023 0

Sevilla, the Kings of the Europa League have been crowned as the champions for a record seventh time. The Spanish club defeated AS Roma in penalties after the normal game time saw the scoreline 1-1.

Jose Mourinho was on track to become the most decorated European manager in history with six trophies when Paulo Dybala defied an ankle injury he has been carrying for the last month to put the Serie A side in front in a scrappy affair in Budapest. However, Gianluca Mancini, who had provided the assist for Dybala, put it into his own net as the game finished 1-1 after 120 minutes then missed from the spot, as did Roger Ibanez before Montiel scored the decisive penalty to secure a 4-1 shootout win for the Spaniards.

The Spanish side who have won every UEFA Cup/Europa League final they have featured in, have now won the competition four times more than any club, with Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid all on three successes.

Jose Mourinho, who won the UEFA Europa Conference League final with AS Roma stated, “I’ve won five finals and I lost this one, but I’m coming back home proud again. The boys gave everything. We are all attached to the shirt, to our nature.”

He further added, “We take things seriously and humbly, we work a lot. Everyone reacts in a different way: one cries, the other doesn’t. The truth is that we are all very sad, with or without crying. Great match, great final – intense, vibrant.”

Sevilla are having a torrid time in the La Liga. The club is currently placed 11th on the points table. The Europa League final victory is even more remarkable considering manager Jose Luis Mendilibar was appointed in mid-March with his side fighting against relegation from La Liga.

By May 25, 2023 0

Mumbai Indians have won yet another IPL playoffs match. After qualifying for the knockout stages on the last day, Mumbai Indians have made sure they show what their favourite team is capable of doing. The Men in Blue and Gold defeated Lucknow Super Giants by a massive margin of 81 runs in the Eliminator to qualify for the next stage.

Electing to bat first, Mumbai had a bad start; losing both the openers in the powerplay. However, World Number 1 T20 batter Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green stitched together a wonderful partnership to steady their ship. But, the ship sunk as Afghanistan’s Naveen-ul-Haq dismissed both set batters in one over.

Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera then took over the scoring duties and ensured the team gets to a par score. With some intelligent batting, Mumbai Indians reached 182/8 in their 20 overs.

Lucknow never seemed to be in the chase. Mumbai Indians find Akash Madhwal dismantled their batting lineup. The Uttarakhand-based bowler took 5 wickets for just 5 runs. In the process, Madhwal registered the best figures in the IPL playoffs. Also, he registered the joint-first most economical five-for in the Indian Premier League.

With this win, Mumbai Indians will be facing the Gujarat Titans in the Qualifier 2. The two teams will be facing each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 26th May.
