<p><em>ICC WTC Finals: Predicting 5 Batters who will score most runs in WTC Finals between India and New Zealand.</em></p>



<p><strong>ICC WTC Finals: </strong>The oldest and most toughest form of cricket, Test Cricket was continuously losing its importance in a fast paced world. People loved to watch players hitting those giant sixes and plunder massive totals in the shorter format and thus it took away the significance of test cricket.</p>



<p>Just like the ICC introduced the T20 and ODI World Cup back then, this time it was the turn for the Test Championship. In 2019, the global cricket body inaugurated the beginning of the ICC World Test Championship and it has definitely helped to revive the lost shine of red-ball cricket.</p>



<p>The first red ball World Test championship is just two sleep away from here. India and New Zealand will fight out the massive battle to retain the crown of the Test Champions and the coveted Test Mace.</p>



<p>The Final is scheduled to begin on 18th june at Ageas Bowl Southampton.</p>



<p>Here in this article, we will predict the top 5 run getters in the ICC World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand.</p>



<h2>Predicting 5 Batters who will score most runs in WTC Finals between India and New Zealand:</h2>



<h3><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">5. Ros Taylor:</span></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/06/Ros-Taylor.jpg" alt="Ros Taylor" class="wp-image-64952" /></figure></div>



<p>The Kiwi number 4 in the Test format, Ros Taylor is a consistent performer for his team. He is a vital cog for the New Zealand's in the Test lineup.</p>



<p>The 37-years old batsman has been in fine form lately. He went away cheaply in the first test against England, however, played a crucial knock of 80 in the second test and led his team to a comfortable win.</p>



<p>In his test career spanning over 13 years, Ros Taylor has amassed 7,506 runs in 107 Test matches for New Zealand with an average of 45.76. Besides this, he has also scored three double hundreds in the format.</p>



<p>He was in fine touch and will be hoping to continue that in the final of the ICC World Test Championship against India.</p>

<h3><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">4. Rishabh Pant:</span></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/03/rishabh-pant-5-1.jpg" alt="Rishabh Pant " class="wp-image-34183" /></figure></div>



<p>The young wicketkeeper-batsman from India, Rishabh Pant took massive leaps to defeat the odds and come up ranks in India?s test format. Pant, who had faced severe backlash from the fans and experts, made a complete turnaround with his sheer determination and skillset.</p>



<p>The wicketkeeper-batsman will be raring to go in the finals. He has kept his brilliant form alive since the last India-Australia test series and is constantly scoring runs in whichever format he plays.</p>



<p>Moreover, in the intrasquad test match simulations conducted by India, he amassed quickfire unbeaten 121 runs in just 94 deliveries. India will require his services and speed up the innings at the backend and will be one of the important factors for India.</p>







<h3><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">3. Rohit Sharma:</span></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/12/Rohit-Sharma-India-1024x682.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma " class="wp-image-23616" /></figure></div>



<p>Team India?s senior opening batsman Rohit Sharma will be eager to prove himself against the moving deliveries in England. The cricketer does not have anything fancy to flex in Test Cricket, especially in overseas conditions.</p>



<p>Sharma has gained massive success in the limited-overs cricket ever since he opened the innings for India, this time he will try to replicate his sensational skills in the Test format in England.</p>



<p>Besides this, Rohit Sharma is in fine touch in the ICC World Test Championship and is the second highest run-getter for India. The reports from the sources also claimed him to have scored in excess of 80 runs in the intrasquad simulation test match.</p>



<p>If he somehow overcomes his vulnerability in the initial overs against the swinging ball, he can easily score big scores in the final and lead India to a comfortable total against New Zealand.</p>







<h3><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">2. Devon Conway:</span></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/06/Devon-Conway.jpg" alt="Devon Conway" class="wp-image-64953" /></figure></div>



<p>The New Zealand young batsman, Devon Conway made his test debut against England in the last test series. He scored a sensational double century in his debut game at Lord?s.</p>



<p>Conway?s brilliant 200 runs in the Lord?s test helped New Zealand score 378 in the first game against England, which ended in a draw after rain washed out a day?s play.</p>



<p>In the following game, Conway scored 80 runs for his team in a do or die situation.</p>



<p>He would be hoping to counter the Indian attack after having played the English swinging pacers effectively. He outplayed the likes of James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson in his previous series.</p>



<p>If he gets a chance to feature in the playing11 for New Zealand in Test Cricket, he will surely hit a big score against India.</p>







<h3><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">1. Virat Kohli:</span></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/01/Kohli.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli" class="wp-image-28563" /></figure></div>



<p>There is no denying to this name in whichever format of cricket he plays. Virat Kohli is a name who has easily dominated the bowlers across formats and plundered big runs.</p>



<p>He will be all set to take the revenge of the ICC ODI World Cup Semi Final defeat and will be hoping to have some good runs for his team.</p>



<p>Virat can effectively play the swinging deliveries and will be hoping to score good runs for his team in the all important ICC World Test Championship finals.</p>



<p>With over 7000 runs in the Test format with an impressive average of 52.38 and having scored 27 tons in the format, Virat Kohli knows it better than anyone else. </p>



<p>It might be a possibility that he go on to score his century, for which the fans have been eagerly waiting for a long long time. </p>

<p><em>ICC Player of the Month: Kiwi Devon Conway won Player of the Month award for June, Sophie Ecclestone.</em></p>



<p><strong>ICC Player of the Month:</strong> New Zealand batsman Devon Conway along with English women spinner Sophie Ecclestone, have been voted out for the Player of the Month award in their respective categories for their exploits in June.</p>



<p>Conway, who announced his arrival in Test cricket in some way, smashed a double ton on his debut game against England at Lord?s and continued his astounding form to score a much-needed half-century in the final of the ICC World Test Championship against India to win the maiden test title.</p>



<p>The cricketer is also the first kiwi to win the ICC Player of the Month award.</p>



<p>The 30-years old cricketer piped out the likes of Kyle Jamieson and Quinton de Kock, who were also nominated for the award in the men?s category.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>?I?m truly honoured to win this award. That I have received it for my performances in Test cricket makes it extra special. Scoring a double century at Lord?s was a dream come true for me and to have also been able to contribute to our win over India in the ICC World Test Championship Final is something that I know I will proudly look back on in years to come,? Devon Conway said after winning the award.</p>

<p>In the women?s category, English spinner Sophie Ecclestone has bagged the award for the month of June.</p>



<p>Picking up 14 games in just three matches (one one-off test match and two ODIs), Ecclestone went past India?s Shefali Verma and Sneh Rana.</p>



<p>?It?s really nice to win this award. It?s after a period in which we?ve played all three formats so it feels good to be recognised for my performances in the Test and the white-ball series,? Sophie Ecclestone said.</p>

<p>The cricketer further said that ? the team is happy with the way we came out and executed the plans. Obviously, we would have liked to win the one-off test match but it ended in a draw. This is good preparation for the following ICC World Cup which is scheduled in New Zealand.?</p>

<p><em>Strongest New Zealand openers for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 [Predicted].</em></p>



<p><strong>ICC T20 World Cup 2021:</strong> The New Zealand cricket team is one of the most underrated cricket teams in the world across formats. The kiwis, although, have done invariably well in the past few years in all the formats, the team never succeeded in coping up with their tag of underdogs.</p>



<p>The nation has taken giant strides in international cricket and rose up the ranks to fit in the bracket of the best teams in the world.</p>



<p>The success of their growth definitely goes to their all format cricketers and the New Zealand Cricket Board who have taken certain required steps in all these years.</p>



<p>The kiwis rank third in the shortest format while one in the ODI?s and Test formats.</p>



<p>The country has been successful in producing some of the finest cricketers in all three formats. The likes of Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson, Ros Taylor and others have been consistent in their performances for the Kiwis.</p>



<p>The article will focus more on the T20Is as the next major ICC event in the T20 World Cup 2021 which will be staged in the UAE and Oman, starting October 17.</p>

<h2>Strongest New Zealand openers for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 [Predicted]:</h2>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Martin Guptil &amp; Devon Conway:</mark></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/07/Martin-Guptil.jpg" alt="Martin Guptil" class="wp-image-65859"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Martin Guptil</figcaption></figure>



<p>The kiwis will be happy to go with the experience of Martin Guptil and the freshness of Devon Conway as the openers in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.</p>



<p>Guptil is one of the most admirable cricketers in the T20Is. The 34-years cricketer has been around the New Zealand T20I setup for many years now and knows exactly what his team needs from him in different situations.</p>



<p>The senior right-handed kiwi batsman is the second-highest run-scorer in the shortest format in the world with 2939 runs in 102 matches. He plays with an average of 32.29 and strikes at 136.82.</p>



<p>Moreover, the dashing cricketer has two T20I tons under his decorated hat along with 17 half-centuries.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/07/Devon-Conway-T20Is.jpg" alt="Devon Conway in T20Is for New Zealand against Australia 2021" class="wp-image-65857"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Devon Conway in T20Is for New Zealand against Australia 2021</figcaption></figure>



<p>Devon Conway will accompany Guptil in the opening slot for New Zealand. Conway had a good start to all three formats recently.</p>



<p>He smacked a double ton on his test debut against England at the Home of Cricket 'Lords', he has a hundred under his name in ODIs in his just three games participation and has scored&nbsp; 450 runs in&nbsp;11 T20I innings at an average of 59.12.</p>



<p>Conway earlier used to bat in the middle order for New Zealand in the T20Is, however, successive failure from wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Siefert paved way for him to open the innings.</p>



<p>Siefert amassed mere 27 runs in four T20I innings in the last series against Australia.</p>



<p>New Zealand tried Conway in the opening combination along with Martin Guptil in the last T20I against Australia and the openers put up a 100 runs solid partnership for the first wicket and ensured an easy win for the team.</p>



<p>Surely, the kiwis will be pumped to advance with Martin Guptil and Devon Conway in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 as openers.</p>

<p><em>Vivo IPL 2021: 3 overseas Batsmen who can come as a replacement in the Vivo IPL 2021.</em></p>



<p><strong>Vivo IPL 2021: </strong>The second phase of the Vivo IPL 2021 has suffered an early shake as a couple of key players have pulled out of the tournament either due to personal reasons or due to some injuries concerns. High stature players like Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes, Pat Cummins, Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith, Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson and a few others have already withdrawn from the lucrative T20 league and the numbers are expected to increase as time progresses.</p>



<p>Franchises have already started signings of the new recruits to cover the voids created by the players who have pulled out. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) earlier announced the roping in of Wanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera, Punjab Kings roped in Nathan Ellis, Rajasthan Royals (RR) signed Glenn Phillips for the remainder of the Vivo IPL 2021.</p>



<p>This article will walk you through the top 3 overseas Batsmen who are most probable to come as the replacement in the Vivo IPL 2021.</p>



<h2>3 overseas Batsman who can come as a replacement in the Vivo IPL 2021:</h2>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Marnus Labuschagne:</mark></h3>

<p>The Australian batting sensation Marnus Labuschagne is the first name on the list and is most probable to feature in the IPL 2021 if he agrees in terms with any of the IPL franchises. Labuschagne has his own pedigree in international cricket and is often called the successor of Steven Smith. The cricketer is well known for his distinct style of batting.</p>



<p>Labuschagne has not had a great time in T20 cricket. He has been involved in 15 T20 matches in Australia?s Big Bash League (BBL) where he has amassed 273 runs at an average of 19.50 and strike rate of 113.75.</p>



<p>IPL franchises can keep him as an all-rounder for the remainder of the fourteenth season. He has 11 wickets in 12 innings in BBL and can serve a great value in the IPL.</p>

<p>This name needs no introduction. Devon Conway has laid down a smooth path for himself wherever he goes. The New Zealand cricketer, though, does not have a rich international cricket experience, but in whatever time he has had, he has made it count for his portfolio.</p>



<p>Conway recently debuted in test cricket and amassed a 200 in the opening game at the Home of Cricket, Lords. He was brilliant all throughout the test series as well as against India in the WTC finals.</p>



<p>Moreover, the cricketer has featured in 14 T20I matches and has amassed 473 runs at a blistering strike rate of 151 and with a superb average of 59.12.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Devon Conway can add great value to the IPL team that is suffering from the issue of openers.&nbsp;</p>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Lendl Simmons:</mark></h3>

<p>The Caribbean cricketer Lendl Simmons also comes on the list. Simmons was in good touch in the recent T20I series against Australia and scored runs in bulk. He was a standout performer for the team and helped his side thrash Australia brutally in the five matches series.</p>



<p>The cricketer has also a wealthy T20I experience under his hat. He has plundered 1508 T20I runs in 66 matches at a strike rate of 123.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Moreover, the cricketer was quite active in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well. He has featured in 29 IPL matches for Mumbai Indians (MI) and has amassed 1079 runs at an average of 39.96 and strikes at 126. He also has a century and 11 half-centuries in his name in the lucrative league.</p>

<p><strong>T20 World Cup 2021: </strong>In a bizarre incident, New Zealand?s stumper batsman Devon Conway has sustained a right-hand fracture after he struck his bat out of frustration following his dismissal in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 1st semi-final against England. The kiwi player is subsequently ruled out of the final of the T20 World Cup against Australia and for the India tour as well which comprise three T20Is and two test matches.</p>



<p>Conway held onto the crease after New Zealand were two down in the initial overs of the match and scored crucial 46 runs before he got dismissed.</p>



<p>New Zealand cricket in a statement said that Conway was taken for scans after he hit his bat out of frustration and it revealed a fracture in the right-hand fifth metacarpal.</p>



<p>"Conway sustained the injury when he struck his bat immediately after being dismissed in semifinal win over England in Abu Dhabi - with an X-ray today confirming a break to his right hand fifth metacarpal," said New Zealand Cricket in a statement.</p>



<p>?"He's absolutely gutted to be ruled out like this at this time," head coach Gary Stead said. "Devon is hugely passionate about playing for the BLACKCAPS and no one is more disappointed at the moment than he is - so we're really trying to rally around him.</p>

<p>Stead further said that Conway hit the bat out of frustration of getting out before completing the job for Black Caps against England.</p>



<p>"It looked a pretty innocuous reactionary incident on the field, but the blow obviously caught the bat between the glove padding and while it's not the smartest thing he's done there's certainly an element of bad luck in the injury.</p>



<p>New Zealand is not looking to announce any replacement for the star cricketer for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 final and for the T20I series against India. However, they are certainly looking to have one for the test series.</p>

<p>The Chennai Super Kings who won the title last year are undoubtedly one of the most successful franchises in the history of IPL. Be it good batsmen at all positions, bowlers and fielders, they've had it all most of whom have displayed tremendous abilities on the cricket pitch since times immemorial.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Even in this year's IPL auction, the CSK side did a pretty good job in drafting in a fair amount of good players which in turn have made their squad a quite decent one that has several options to fill in a particular spot in the playing XI. Despite losing some of its key players who played an important role in their last triumph, the super kings look all set to lift up their rhythm right from the spot where they left it back in the IPL 2021.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Like most other franchises even CSK shall be looking forward to a good opening pair that provides them with blistering starts in each game so as to strengthen their grip over another IPL trophy. Their openers have been a major key to their success over the last few seasons. Hence the first step for the franchise in the way to rebuild their team after the mega auction shall be to find out a good opening combination just like they did in the majority of the seasons in the past.</p>



<p>&nbsp;Given below are three of the most possible opening pairs that CSK could be using in this IPL season:-</p>



<h2>1. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/03/pic43-compressed.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-86388" width="998" height="504" /><figcaption>Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway</figcaption></figure>



<p>The first possible combination that CSK might try out in this IPL season is of Ruturaj Gaikwad along with the newly added wicketkeeper-batsman, Devon Conway.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The 30-year-old Kiwi who had been added to the squad by Chennai at his base price of 2 crore INR is a classy top-order batsman who has shown pretty good abilities in the white-ball formats in the past for his national side.&nbsp;</p>



<p>2021 was a dream year for Devon Conway and it changed his career for the good. He started impressing first with the Test format and slowly made his way into the other formats as well. He preformed well in the first half of the 2021 T20 World Cup but sadly missed the latter part of it owing to an injury. He can proof the a great asset for Chennai Super Kings.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As we mentioned, he made his T20I debut in 2020 and shall be a good option to go with for Chennai. Meanwhile, Ruturaj who had been retained ahead of the mega auction shall perhaps be the automatic first-choice opener for his side along with Conway.</p>



<p><strong>Ruturaj Gaikwad (IPL stats):-</strong></p>



<p><em>Matches :-22, Runs - 839 , Average - 46.6 , Strike Rate - 132.1</em></p>



<p><strong>Devon Conway (All T20 stats):-&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><em>Matches - 111, Runs - 3668 , Average - 44.7, Strike Rate - 128.6</em></p>



<h2>2. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/03/pic41-compressed.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-86389" width="1000" height="505" /><figcaption>Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali</figcaption></figure>



<p>Another special option for the yellow army shall be to assemble Moeen Ali with the task of opening the innings along with Ruturaj Gaikwad. Both these players had been retained by the side after their fine performances in the previous edition of the league.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Moreover, Moeen Ali has the first-hand experience of opening the batting on multiple occasions both for CSK and his national team in T20 internationals. His ability to bat with a high strike rate at any position in the batting order might provide CSK with swift and free-flowing starts in almost each of their games against any opposition bowling lineup.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In 2021. Moeen Ali was one of Chennai?s best middle order batters but as Faf du Plessis is not in their squad anymore, this might be the best chance for Moeen Ali to rise up the ranks and open alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad.&nbsp;</p>



<p>An already experienced and pretty efficient duo of Moen and Ruturaj might well be the combination CSK management is looking for in all circumstances.</p>



<p>Moeen Ali (IPL stats) :-</p>



<p>Matches - 34, Runs - 666 , Average - 23.0, Strike Rate - 146.4</p>



<h2>3. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ambati Rayudu</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/03/pic42-compressed.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-86390" width="999" height="505" /><figcaption>Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ambati Rayudu</figcaption></figure>



<p>There might be a slight possibility of CSK thinking out of the box and promoting their hard-hitting middle-order batsman, Ambati Rayudu up in the batting order to open the batting with Ruturaj Gaikwad.</p>



<p>&nbsp;The 36-year-old Rayudu who was left out of the 4 retained players ahead of the IPL auction 2022 was picked up again by his former team during the auctions for a price of 7.75 crores INR. The fact that Ambati has played several crucial innings for the team in the past might provide the team management with the confidence to provide him with a new role in the batting lineup and see if he can live up to everybody's expectations.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Thus the combination of Ruturaj and Rayudu also seems to fulfil the needs of the Chennai Super Kings in terms of providing them with a solid opening pair.</p>



<p><strong>Ambati Rayudu (IPL stats) :-</strong></p>



<p><em>Matches - 175 , Runs - 3916, Average - 29.4, Strike Rate - 127.5</em></p>



<p><strong>Our Prediction: </strong>In spite of all of the above-mentioned batting pairs being highly probable and available to the Chennai Super Kings during the entire season, in our opinion, the most suitable opening pair of them all shall be one consisting of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali.?</p>



<p>The fact that a fantastic looking Faf Du Plessis was included by Royal Challengers Bangalore in their team during this auction means that Chennai shall no longer have his consistent services available at their disposal like before. Ruturaj Gaikwad who won the orange cap in last year's IPL has without a doubt cemented his position in one of the two opening slots available in the playing XI.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The fact that Moeen Ali has been of great use too for the Super Kings at the top of the order makes him a very suitable option to open the innings with Ruturaj Gaikwad. With all the experience and good form, the above-mentioned duo is pretty sure to make the impossible happen for CSK this year too as they lift their 5 IPL trophy just in case they provide this wonderful duo with an opportunity to bat together at the peak of the batting order.</p>

IPL 2022: Top 3 Possible Opening Partnerships for Chennai Super Kings

ipl-2022-top-3-possible-opening-partnerships-for-chennai-super-kings

<p>The TATA IPL 2022 season has fallen into the hands of a new controversy. The talk is now about the unavailability of the DRS better known as the Decision Review System. The DRS was not available in the initial stage of the first innings in the game of the Chennai Super Kings against the Mumbai Indians. At the center of this controversy is <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/nzc-ropes-in-daryl-mitchell-as-a-replacement-for-injured-devon-conway/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Devon Conway.</a> The IPL in the past few seasons has been marred by sub-standard umpiring and to deal with this the DRS system was used. Here is an in-depth look:?</p>



<h2>Power Cut-off Led to ?No DRS? in IPL 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>This was the case for just a few games eld at the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/kkr-thump-csk-in-the-ipl-2022-opener-match-in-wankhede-stadium/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wankhede Stad</a>ium that the DRS was down due to power-cut. The BCCI had arranged for movable generators but these generators were used to power the floodlights. The IPL in recent years has witnessed sub-standard umpiring and this is exactly what has sparked the controversy. ?</p>



<p>It was the second ball of the match that struck Devon Conway on the pads. The ball was decently towards the leg side and it could not be commented if it was a sure-shot wicket. Devon was not caught plumb before the wicket. The ball was swinging towards the leg. But then, the DRS system or even the basic ball-tracking was not available due to power constraints. Hence one couldn?t comment on the status of the wicket. ?</p>



<p>The on-filed umpire raised his arm and Devon Conway being a true gentleman accepted the decision with grace.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/top-3-players-chennai-super-kings-csk-should-target-in-ipl-2023-auctions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Chennai </a>was left at 1-1 and since that wicket, they found it difficult to recover. ?</p>



<h2>DRS Unavailability Heavily Criticized:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The unavailability of the DRS in IPL 2022 was heavily criticized by Virender Sehwag on the Cricbuzz Live show. Sehwag, a former captain of the Indian team and a captain of the Delhi Daredevils said, ?It was astonishing that DRS was unavailable due to power cut. It's such a big league that a generator can be used. Whatever software there was, that could have been run with power generated through backup. This is a big question for the BCCI.??</p>



<p>He further added, ?What will happen if there is a power cut? Is the generator only for stadium lights and not for the broadcasters and their systems? If the match was happening then DRS should have been used. Or DRS should not have been used in the entire match because this was a disadvantage for Chennai. If Mumbai were batting first then they would have suffered".?</p>

IPL 2023: Top 4 Overseas Players of CSK

ipl-2023-top-4-overseas-players-of-csk

<p>The <a href="https://www.iplt20.com/auction" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com/auction">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) 2023 kickstarted with a blockbuster clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi International Stadium. It was a disappointing outing for the MS Dhoni-led side as they suffered a 5-wicket defeat to mark their first loss of the tournament. It?s fair to say that lacked with both bat and ball at some stage and they failed to capitalise on the momentum, which led to their downfall.?</p>



<p>Asked to bat first, it was a collective effort from their end as Ruturaj Gaikwad played a stellar knock of 90 runs and kept CSK in the game. But he didn?t get the desired support as few batters played good cameos but couldn?t support him well. The total which at one moment seemed would go past 200 runs was then settled at 178 runs. Their bowling then wasn?t up to the mark as they leaked runs at crucial stages and also failed to keep the momentum when they were on top of the game.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Two changes that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) might make for their second game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/IMG_7643.jpg" alt="Chennai Super Kings " class="wp-image-106216" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ajinkya Rahane | Twitter </figcaption></figure>



<p>However, it?s still baby steps in the tournament and they have a lot of games to rectify their mistakes and make a strong comeback. Their focus will now shift to the home game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday (3rd April) and it?s fair to say that they will try some different combinations in the next match. As their next match is just a few days away, let?s take a look at two changes that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) might make for their second game:?</p>



<p><strong>1.Dwaine Pretorius in place of Devon Conway?</strong></p>



<p>Chennai Super Kings lacked a quality and experienced pacer in the first game against Gujarat Titans. Their inexperienced bowling lineup was the main reason behind their loss in the first game. Therefore to get the combination right they might need to sacrifice the place of Devon Conway and bring in South African all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius, who is also a specialist death bowler. Also with Chepauk wicket offering turn and bounce, it might trouble the Kiwi batter, who traditionally isn?t a good player of spin. The addition of a lanky all-rounder could boost the team?s lineup.?</p>

<p><strong>2. Ajinkya Rahane in place of Shivam Dube?</strong></p>



<p>Another change that Chennai Super Kings can make for the second game against Lucknow Super Giants is they can bring Ajinkya Rahane in place of Shivam Dube, who looked clueless in the first game against Gujarat Titans. Also, Rahane being a great player of spin can come in handy for CSK on the chepauk pitch. The right-hander could provide stability to the batting order and if CSK replaces Conway, he can also open the batting for the team. The experience of Rahane could also allow Ruturaj Gaikwad to play even more freely and capitalise on the field restrictions of the first six overs.?</p>

<p>Apart from these two changes, Chennai Super Kings is unlikely to make a change to their XI. Here?s the probable CSK playing XI for their second game against LSG:?</p>



<p><strong>Ajinkya Rahane?<br>Ruturaj Gaikwad?<br>Moeen Ali?<br>Ben Stokes?<br>Ambati Rayudu?<br>Ravindra Jadeja?<br>MS Dhoni (C) (wk)?<br>Dwaine Pretorius?<br>Mitchell Santner?<br>Deepak Chahar<br>Rajvardhan Hangargekar</strong></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>CSK has easily chased this target:</strong></h2>



<p>In the second Inning, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/ipl-team/chennai-super-king/" rel="nofollow">Chennai Super Kings(CSK)</a> batters Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway gave another good start to the team and led their team to have early momentum in the game. Ruturaj got out in the 5th over and scored 30 runs, whereas Ajinkya Rahane has played a small inning of 21 runs in 17 balls. </p>



<p>Devon Conway played another good inning in the chepauk stadium and looks in tremendous form this season. Conway led CSK to this match in the over. He has scored 44 runs and hit four fours.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Piyush Chawla, the only wicket-taker:</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/05/piyush2_11zon-1024x682.jpg" alt="IPL 2023: CSK won by 6 wickets" class="wp-image-111410" width="768" height="512" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong>Piyush Chawla | Image Credit: Twitter</strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>Mumbai Indians impressed everyone in the last match, and now, the failure by the batting department, whereas one more time, the bowling Department gave a poor performance. Piyush Chawla is the only bowler, who bowled well, whereas others are just giving plenty of runs. </p>



<p>Piyush took two wickets at an economy rate of 6.25. Now, Mumbai is playing with their chances of getting into the playoffs, and if they don?t do that, they will definitely get out of the race.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>MI?s batters fail badly:</strong></h2>



<p>In the first Inning, Mumbai Indians came to bat, but they failed to score boundaries in the match this time. This Time Cameron Geen came with Ishan Kisan and tried to score good runs on the scoreboard in the powerplay, but both of them got out by scoring 6 and 7 runs, respectively. Rohit came one down and got out for a duck.</p>



<p>After this, Rohit made a record for the most ducks in IPL history. Nehal Wadhera and Suryakumar Yadav made a small partnership of 55 runs for the 4th wicket. Nehal Wadhera has scored 64 runs in 51 balls, and in this match, he knocked his first fifty in T20 cricket. Surya hit 26 runs with a strike rate of 118.18.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Today, CSK Pacers did well:</strong></h2>



<p>Matheesha Pathirana has taken three wickets and gave only 15 runs in his four overs spell. Pathirana bowled perfect and beautiful Yorkers in the last few overs. Pathirana?s yorker on the leg stump took the wicket of Nehal Wadhera. Deepak Chahar and Tushar Deshpande took two wickets each, whereas Ravindra Jadeja took one wicket.</p>

<p><strong>HUR</strong> <strong>vs</strong> <strong>THU</strong> <strong>BBL</strong> <strong>2024</strong>-<strong>25</strong> <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Dream11</strong> <strong>Prediction</strong>: The wait is finally over, and we will have the champion for the 14th edition of the Big Bash League (BBL 2024-25).

The reigning champion Brisbane Heat have been knocked out, and the final will be played between Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Thunder.</p>

Meanwhile, the Thunder beat Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers in Knockout and Challenger matches to make it to the final.</p>
<p>But now, everything depends on this clash, as the team that wins here will lift the trophy. The Hurricanes have never won the BBL title, while the Thunder have won it once in 2015.

<p>The marquee event of this year, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is approaching quickly and Pakistan are busy finalizing preparations to compete as the hosts. They will be competing in a Tri-Series versus South Africa and New Zealand before the Champions Trophy and this bilateral event will act as a preparatory ground for the Mohammad Rizwan-led team. </p>
<p>They have momentum on their side as they will be entering the tournament on the back of historic series wins in South Africa and Australia and also a good performance in the Tri Series will definitely increase their confidence and morale. </p>
<p>Interestingly, the hosts are the only team who haven't unveiled their squad yet for the meha event of this year and questions about their unannounced squad have already started to raise and discussions have sparked. </p>
<p>With explosive opener Saim Ayub struggling with an ankle fracture, several news reports have claimed that the Pakistani selectors might consider bringing in the likes of Shan Masood back into the One-Day International setup. Apart from the Test Captain, the National Team selectors might also consider bringing in some forgotten players and let's take a look at three such forgotten players who might get a chance to make their comebacks into the team in the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Usama Mir  </strong></h2>
<p>29-year-old spinner Usama Mir might find himself back in the squad for Champions Trophy 2025. With 15 scalps to his name in 12 One-Day Internationals, Usama has demonstrated his ability to outfox opposition batters with his unpredictable variations. While the duo of Sufiyan Muqeem and Abrar Ahmed have shown promise, their lack of experience in 50 over Cricket could lead the selectors to pick Usama Mir over the two above mentioned players. In List-A Cricket, the 29-year-old has dismissed 86 batters in 58 contests, which further strengthens his case. </p>
<h2><strong>Shadab Khan</strong></h2>
<p>Once considered as the backbone of Pakistan's spin bowling unit, Shadab Khan has been away from One-Day Cricket due to a prolonged rough patch with the ball. The leg spin bowling All-rounder, with 85 scalps and 855 runs to his name in 70 One-Day Internationals, still remains a valuable asset for the Green Shirts. </p>
<p>Keeping in mind the middle order struggles of the defending champions, Khan's ability to contribute with both ball &amp; bat could help him in securing a spot in Pakistan's Champions Trophy 2025 squad. His experience and a knack of performing in high-pressure situations makes him a strong contender for making a comeback to the National Team.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Imam-ul-Haq</strong></h2>
<p>29-year-old Imam-ul-Haq, a reliable opening batter with a total of 3,138 One-Day International runs to his name at a good average of 48.27, last participated in an ODI match during the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. With Saim Ayub missing out due to an ankle injury and Abdullah Shafique struggling for form with the bat, the Pakistani selectors might turn to Imam in order to provide stability to the top-order. His proven track-record in ODI's make him a perfect option for the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.</p>
<p>The selection committee of Pakistan's Men's National Cricket Team faces some tough decisions ahead of 2025 Champions Trophy. While the trio of Imam, Shadab and Usama may seem like surprising picks, their skill sets and experience could prove to be very crucial on home soil. Pakistani fans eagerly await the squad announcement of the National Team and they are hoping to see a balanced team capable of defending the Champions Trophy. </p>

<p>An incredible Bollywood biopic is set to be made on the life of former legendary Indian Captain Sourav Ganguly also known by his famous nickname 'Dada'. Following the success of the biopics of Mohammad Azharuddin, Mithali Raj and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ganguly's story will also be seen on the big screens. It is reported that this incredible film be made with the help of a big financial budget and talks are ongoing of executing this film under a big production house. </p>
<p>Actor Rajkumar Rao's name has popped up to play the role of Dada in the film. Before, there were talks of Ranbir Kapoor and then Ayushmann Khurrana to play the role of the legendary Indian captain but there's no official confirmation regarding who will get the chance to play the role of Ganguly. </p>
<p>The information about the script and release date are yet to be revealed and many interesting stories of Ganguly's life will be shown in this upcoming movie. Let's take a look at five such incidents which can make this biopic even more special:</p>
<h2><strong>Waving Team India's shirt on the Lord's balcony</strong></h2>
<p>In the all-important final of the 2002 Natwest Trophy, Team India chased down the difficult target of 326 runs and defeated England and this victory proved to be a really historic one. After securing this victory, Dads took off his jersey and waved it on the famous Lord's balcony. This moment became a symbol of the new era of Indian Cricket and showing this moment can truly make the biopic of Ganguly special.</p>
<h2><strong>Differences with Rahul Dravid</strong></h2>
<p>The friendship between two legends of Indian Cricket, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid was quite famous in the world of Cricket. But when Greg Chappell became the head coach of the National Team, differences started arising between the two players. Ganguly didn't like Chappell's arbitrariness and he expressed his displeasure with Dravid that he was not saying anything to Chappell despite being the skipper. This is the main reason why there was a distance between the two.</p>
<h3><strong>Greg Chappell Controversy</strong></h3>
<p>In 2005, the controversy between coach Greg Chappell and Ganguly created a stir in the world of Cricket. The former Australian batter wrote an email to the BCCI and called Ganguly "physically &amp; mentally" unfit for handling the leadership duties of the Men in Blue. This entire controversy was leaked to the Indian media and it made a lot of headlines.</p>
<h2><strong>Differences with Ravi Shastri</strong></h2>
<p>During the selection of the head coach of the Indian Team in 2016, a dispute was created between Ravi Shastri and Sourav Ganguly. The former had given his interview through a video call and the latter didn't attend the interview through a video call. Apart from Ganguly, the likes of VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar were also a part of the committee formed for the selection of the Head Coach. </p>
<p>As Dada didn't attend the video call, a rhetoric was created between him and Shastri. This dispute became the main talking point in Indian Media.</p>
<h3><strong>Rumours of an affair with actress Nagma</strong></h3>
<p>During the 1999 ODI World Cup, the news of an affair between actress Nagma and Cricketer Sourav Ganguly popped up in the headlines. Although the Cricketer always denied it, the actress later confirmed the relationship and said that they had ended it in the interest of the country. Ganguly was already married and was the father of a child too at that time so the affair rumours proved to be very significant.</p>
