Australian veteran and T20 specialist Dan Christian, who is currently representing Sydney Sixers, announced he would retire from cricket after the conclusion of the ongoing Big Bash League 2022-23.

Christian has played 405 T20s, scored 5809 runs and scalped 280 wickets in the shortest format. The 39-year-old has been part of 4 different teams in the BBL over the last decade, namely –Β  Brisbane Heat, Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Sixers. He ??also made 20 ODI and 23 T20I appearances for Australia and last represe?nted the country in 2021.

The Aussie all-rounder earned success all over the world in the last decade. Since 2010 he has won nine domestic T20 titles and also tasted victory in England with Nottinghamshire County Club. In the 2020-21 season of BBL, Christian guided Sydney Sixers to the title with his 271 runs and 15 wickets in the tournament. Previously in the 2018-19 season, he had won the championship with Melbourne Renegad??es.

On Saturday (January 21), Christian took to the microblogging site Twitter and announced his retirement by sharing a note captioned “Some news”.

“Yesterday at training I told by Sydney Sixers teammates that I’ll be retiring from playing at the end of the BBL season. Sydney Smash tonight, followed by our last round game against the Hurricanes, and then the finals.”

“Hopefully we can go all the way again this season, but regardless, it’s been a great run. I’ve achieved things and made some memories that I could only have dreamt of as a kid.”

“What I didn’t expect to learn as a kid though, is how many people I was going to come in contract with that have had an influence on my career and ended up becoming lifelong friends,” he added. “I’m looking forward to now having the time to catch up with you all and not having to use the excuse: “Sorry, I’ve got cricket,” Christian posted on Twitter.

The ending of the note shared by Christian said: “I’ll reserve some thank you’s for after my last game (Whenever that may be), but in the meantime. Go the Sixers!”

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star all-rounder Daniel Christian had an off day on the field in IPL 2021 Eliminator against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday. He scored only nine runs and went wicketless in with the ball, conceding 29 runs in?? 1.4 overs at an economy rate of 17.40.

Sunil Narine turned the match in KKR’s favour, smashing three sixes in Christian’s first over. RCB fans believe that Christian was the main ‘villain’ in their franchise’s loss after his below-par show throughout the season.

The 38-year-old just managed 14 runs in nine games and picked up only four wic??kets this season.

Christian, meanwhile, revealed on his Instagram page that that his partner Jorgia Dunn has been subject to abuse on a post she share??d on the social media platform??.

“Check out the comments section of my partner’s Instagram post. I didn’t have a great game tonight, but that’s sport. However please, leave her out of it,” said Christian.

Nonetheless, KKR beat RCB by four ??wickets to knock them out in the Eliminator, and will now take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in the second qualifier.

Australia all-rounder Daniel Christian showed his vintage avatar during the fourth T20I against Bangladesh on Saturday. The 38-year-old scored a quickfire 39 [15b, 6×5, 4×1] and guided the Aussies to their first victory in the ongoing five-match series.

The highlight of his innings was the five sixes which he hit off Bangladesh’s Shakib Al-Hasan in the fourth over of second innings. Each of the five sixes was directed between the cow-corner and mid-on r??egion, with a lone miss coming off the fourth ball of the over.

So now, Christian has become the fourth batsman (among players from full-member nations) to strike five or more sixes in an over in T20Is. Yuvraj Singh (6 v England, 2007), Kieron Pollard (6 v Sri Lanka, 2021) and David Miller (5 v Bangladesh, 2017)? are t??he other three batsman to achieve this feat.

Despite Christian’s explosive batting, Australia stuttered to knock off a meagre target of 104 and had to bat until the 19th over to register a win.

After the match, Christian said that the Dhaka pitch being used for the ongoing T20I series is “not spectacular”. However, he praised the competitiveness in the low-scoring games. ”

“It puts so much interest on every ball of the game, each boundary, trying to save one here it’s become so important. They can have such a big effect on the game,” he said.

??Australia will w??rap up their tour of Bangladesh with the fifth and last match of the series on Monday (August 9).

Chasing 149, Sixers did not have a good start as they lost opener Josh Philippe (7) in the second over bowled by Jack Wildermuth. Soon, Mujeeb ur Rahman joined the party after he sent back James Vince (15) in the fifth over.

Both Wildermuth and Mujeeb continued their momentum after picking two more wickets in the form of Jack Edwards (10) and Jordan Silk (3) to reduce Sixers to 54/4 inside nine overs.

Then, skipper Daniel Hughes and all-rounder Daniel Christian took charge to take Sixers out of troubles. ??The pair added a much-needed 72 runs partnership for the fifth wicket to shift ??the game towards their side.

Hughes scored his 10th BBL half-century with six boundaries. He was looking set to go long, but James Bazley dismissed him in the 17th over.

Christian, on the other hand, kept on scoring runs and finding boundaries at the right time. He put p??ressure on the opposition bowlers and smashed a match-winning knock to take his team over the finish line. Christian scored unbeaten 61 off 38 deliveries at an impressive strike-rate of 160.53 laced up with three fours and five sixes.

On Sunday, Australian all-rounder Daniel Christian smashed the fastest fifty of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) and guided Sydney Sixers to a 38-run triumph over the Adelaide Strikers.

Christian slammed five sixes and four fours, reaching his half-ton in just 15 balls. Sixers were 58/3 in the 12th over when Christian walked in and completely changed the course of the match with som?e brutal hitting.

Overall, it was the second-fastest fifty in BBL history after West Indies star Chris Gayle. The ‘Universe Boss’ reached his half-century from just 12 balls in 2016 while playing for the Melbourne Renegades.

Christian took debutant Liam Scott to the cleaners during the BBL 10 game when he clobbered the bowler for ??22 runs in an over.

After batting heroics, Christian contributed with the ball

In reply,? Strikers could only manage to reach 139/7, losing the game by 38 runs. Not only with the willow, Christian?? shined with the ball as well.

The right-armer conceded just 25 runs in his quota of four overs and picked up the prized wicket of Phil Salt, who scored a quickfire 16-ball 28 runs.

Without any surprises, Christian was named the ‘Player of the Match’ for his excellent all-round show. The victory even t??ook Sixers to third place in the BBL 10 standings, while Strikers are now at the fourth spot.

After the match, Christian gave?? credit to the who?le team for playing as a unit.

“The way the game started; Worrall bowled beautifully. We knew they had a good batting line up, but everyone was fantastic tonight. Spending time with the people who are playing, it’s good fun,” he said at the post-match presentation.

During the seventh match of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL), Perth Scorchers all-rounder Chris Jordan grabbed a stunner catch to dismiss Melbourne ?Renegades batsman Daniel Christian.

On the final delivery of the 18th over in Renegades’ chase, Dan Christian hit the ball hard as it raced towards long-on in no time. The Barbadian-born English cricketer had some ground to cover but he did not give up. Jordan leaped, diving to his right and took a catch to snaffle up dangerous Christian for a duck.

Jordan’s odd blinder not only ended Christian’s stay, but it also ended the Renegades’ slim hopes of winning the game as well.

Australia’s right-handed batsman Ashton Turner hit the roof of the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne to get six runs in a Big Bash League (BBL) match on Friday.

Batting for the Perth Scorchers, Turner became the first batsman to get an advantage of the new rule in the BBL. The 25-year-old smashed the first ball of the 12th over bowled by Melbourne Renegades’ all-rounder Daniel Christian, which went up straight to hit the roof of the stadium.

The umpire signalled a six despite the ball landing just outside the 30-yard circ??le after hitting the roof.

Even the commentators, Shane Warne and Brett Lee were left surprised with the rewarding rule. A startled Warne was heard saying: “Six and he can’t be out?”

Here’s the video:

Turner later said that he was ‘lucky’ but also made it clear that the rule should be changed.

“I think it’s a pretty bad rule,” Turner told cricket.com.au. “It saved me tonight β€?I think it’s not fair.

“It should be a dead ball β€?you can’t predict whether they’re going to catch it, so there’s no fairer outcome than a dead ball.

“It’s a little bit different if you think it might have hit the roof over the boundary rope (but) it might be hard to detect where it’s actually (going to land) and if it’s going to go for six,” he added.

Delhi Daredevils (DD) has made a bold move by releasing big names Gautam Gambhir, Glenn Maxwell, Mohammad Shami and Dan Christian ahead of the IPL 2019 auction to be held in mid-Decemb??er later this year.

The Delhi-based franchise, who finished at? the bottom of the table in IPL 2018, has however retained young guns like Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw, ?Rishabh Pant and experienced T20 players in Colin Munro, Chris Morris, and Trent Boult.

In the 12th IPL season, Daredevils failed to produce results under the captaincy of Gambhir, which prompted a move as he stepped down from the leadership role. Shreyas Iyer was made the new captain. Since Iyer took over their?? performance became better and Rishabh Pant with 684 runs in the season emerged as t??he leading run-getter.

Earlier, Shikhar Dhawan was traded from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to Daredevils in lieu of three players Vijay Shankar, Shahbaz Nadeem, and A??bhishek Sharma.

Retained Players:

Shreyas Iyer (captain), Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant, Manjot Kalra, Colin Munro, Chri??s Morris, Jayant Yadav, Rahul Tewatia, Harshal? Patel, Amit Mishra, Kagiso Rabada, Trent Boult, Sandeep Lamichhane, Avesh Khan

In the first T20I international against Australia at Ranchi, India skipper Virat Kohli did the unbelievable in the 19th over when the Aussie all-rounder Dan Christian played Bhuvneshwar Kumar‘s delivery at long on.

The batsmen completed the ??first run quite comfortably and seeing with the fielder still a bit far from the ball, they decided to go for the double.

However, fielder Kohli latched onto the ball in a flash and fired a direct-hit at the striker’s end.

It first looked as if MS Dhoni had deflected the ball onto the stumps but after TV replays it was confirmed that it was Kohli who hit the stumps di?rectly.
