After winning the toss, Gujarat Titans elected to bowl first. The Hardik Pandya-led side restricted the home team to a below-par score of 172/7 in their quota of 20 overs. Mohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami were the picks for the Ahmedabad-based franchisee as both the quicks picked two wickets apiece.

Gujarat Titans who are unbeatable while chasing had a very poor start. The 2022 IPL champions lost two wickets for just 40 runs within the powerplay. The Gujarat-based franchisee lost wickets at regular intervals as they couldn’t pace their innings. Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan were the only players who scored more than 30 runs.

This was Gujarat Titans’ only fourth defeat while chasing. The Titans have lost twice against Mumbai Indians, once against Delhi Capitals, and now once against Chennai Super Kings.

With the win, Chennai Super Kings have reached their 10th IPL final. This is the most number of finals played by any IPL team. The second position is occupied by 5-time IPL champ Mumbai Indians.

Gujarat Titans will now be playing Qualifier II at their home ground Ahmedabad. The team will face the winner of the Eliminator between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians to be played at the Chepauk today.

Juventus docked 10 vital points for reasons pertaining to financial breach

Juventus docked 10 vital points for reasons pertaining to financial breach

By May 23, 2023 0

Serie A giants Juventus have been slapped with a 10-point penalty following an Italian court’s order for false accounting in the club’s transfer dealings. The 10 points deduction dropped Juventus from second to seventh position in the Serie A table.

Following the announcement, Juventus in a statement said, “What was established by the fifth instance of judgment in this matter, which began more than a year ago, arouses great bitterness in the club and in its millions of supporters who, in the absence of clear rules, find themselves extremely penalized with the application of sanctions that do not seem to take into account the principle of proportionality.”

The club further added, “While not ignoring the need for urgency, which Juventus has never shied away from during the proceedings, it is emphasized that these are facts that still have to be evaluated by a judge.”

The Massimiliano Allegri-led side was handed a 15-point penalty in January while several members of Juventus’ former board were also given bans from soccer activities, including former president Andrea Agnelli. However, the decision was reversed on an appeal to the country’s highest sports court within the Italian Olympic Committee, and referred back to the soccer federation’s appeals court for a new trial.

The fresh trial happened yesterday as federation prosecutor Giuseppe Chine requested an 11-point penalty for Juventus. Chine also requested eight-month bans for seven former Juventus directors, including Pavel Nedvěd, but they were cleared.

The decision had an irreversible impact on the Bianconeri as the club lost 4-1 against Empoli, a club that is placed 14th on the points table. Juventus are currently placed seventh in the Serie A table. The club has 59 points from 36 games and is currently out of contention for the Champions League.

Virat Kohli in RCB Jersey

Virat Kohli’s masterful ton goes in vain as RCB gets knocked out of IPL

By May 22, 2023 0

After smashing a wonderful century against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Virat Kohli scored another magnificent ton in a do-or-die encounter with the 2022 IPL champions Gujarat Titans. The Team India batter scored 101 runs in just 61 balls, but couldn’t take his team past the finish line courtesy Shubman Gill.

After being put into bat, Royal Challengers Bangalore had a great start. The opening duo of Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli put on 67 runs in just 7 overs. However, the Men in Red couldn’t quite continue their momentum as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Kohli, the man for big matches had other plans. The right-hander went hammer and tongs from one end as he got good support from lower-order batsmen including Michael Bracewell and Anuj Rawat. With their help, Kohli took the team total to 197. Virat Kohli, who batted till the end, smashed 13 boundaries and one maximum.

Coming to the chase, Gujarat made sure they never got behind the required run rate. Shubman Gill, who is in a purple patch, was the hero of the chase. The young batsman smashed 104 runs in just 52 balls to take his team to victory. Gill, paced his innings to perfection to knock out Royal Challengers Bangalore out of the Indian Premier League.

In the post-match presentation, Faf du Plessis, skipper of RCB, was all praise for his teammate; Virat Kohli. He said, ” It was wet in the first innings as well, but there wasn’t a lot of grip in the second innings and also we had to change the ball quite a few times during the second innings. Virat played an unbelievable knock to give us a chance and thought that was a good score, but Shubman played incredibly well to take the game away from us.”

With Royal Challengers Bangalore not able to win this do-or-die encounter, it is the Mumbai Indians who took the final playoff spot. Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, the table toppers respectively will be facing each other in Qualifier 1 which will be played on 23rd May at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While Lucknow Super Giants will be facing the 5-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator scheduled to be played on 24th May at the same ground.

Yashasvi Jaiswal slams the fastest fifty of IPL

By May 12, 2023 0

Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored the fastest fifty in the Indian Premier League. In their league match against Kolkata Knight Riders, the left-hander slammed a magnificent half-century off just 13 balls.

Jaiswal went after the Kolkata Knight Riders bowling, scoring across the ground; breaking the joint record of KL Rahul and Pat Cummins who slammed 14-ball fifties.

SS Ton Cricket Bat

This is always in my mind, to go out there and play well. It was a nice feeling today. It is not like everything I wanted happens, I prepare well and I trust in myself. I know the results will come,” said Jaiswal at the post-match presentation. Jaiswal, who started tonking the ball from the very first ball made an unbeaten 98 runs off 47 balls.

Jaiswal’s smashing half-century was the second-fastest in the T20 format. The record for the fastest half-century belongs to Indian southpaw Yuvraj Singh. Back in the T20 World Cup 2007, Yuvraj had slammed a 12-ball half-century against England. The famous match saw Yuvraj score six successive sixes off the bowling of Stuart Broad. Additionally, Chris Gayle, Hazratullah Zazai, Wayne White and Kaushalya Weeraratne have also slammed 12-ball fifties.

Jaiswal is in amazing touch this season. The left-hander has amassed 575 runs in just 12 innings at an average of 57.60 and a fantastic strike rate of 157.81. Currently, he is just second to Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis in the race for Purple Cap.

Rafael Leao, who has won 18 international caps for Portugal, joined Milan from Lille in 2018 and has since racked up over 125 appearances for the club. Whilst bidding to make the Champions League final this season, Milan’s future in the competition is still uncertain ahead of the next campaign, with Pioli’s side sitting fifth in Serie A behind Inter, Lazio, Juventus, and champions Napoli.

Surya's blitz helps Mumbai climb to third position in the IPL points table

Surya’s blitz helps Mumbai climb to third position in the IPL points table

By May 10, 2023 0

The World Number 1 T20 batsman Suryakumar Yadav who was having a torrid time at the crease is back to his groove. After making a couple of fifty-plus scores, the 360-degree batsman wreaked havoc in Wankhede yesterday against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Chasing a target of 200, Mumbai Indians started excellently with Ishan Kishan going after the RCB bowlers. But as soon as he departed, the 5-time IPL champions witnessed a dull period in the middle. However, Suryakumar Yadav had other plans. The unorthodox batter started slowly but once he was comfortable went ballistic.

Surya made 83 runs off 35 balls with 7 boundaries and 06 maximums. He stitched a 140-run partnership with Nehal Wadhera to take his team easily toward victory.

Suryakumar Yadav, who is fondly called SKY was adjudged the Man of the Match for his magnificent batting performance. At the presentation ceremony, the right-handed batter said, “I am very happy to win a home game like this. I mean they come up with a plan. They tried to make me hit to the bigger part. Take the pace off and bowl slow.”

Surya’s batting partner Nehal Wadhera who also got a fifty was all praise for his senior. He stated, “I am happy with my fifty but I am more happy that my team won and I hope we continue to do so. I have the confidence within me that if I keep on batting till the end, I can finish the game for the team. Surya bhai is a top-class player and I also try to copy some of his shots but I cannot. While he was batting I was talking to him and he was saying ‘keep playing, keep playing’ and he was giving me confidence. He told me, ‘If both of us bat till the 15th-16th over, we can finish the game even early.’ And that’s what we did.”

With this win, Mumbai Indians have climbed up the points table. They are currently sitting in the third position in the Indian Premier League 2023 table. The Men in Blue next face Gujarat Titans at their home; Wankhede Stadium on May 12th.
