The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was transformed into a cauldron of excitement as Indian batter Shubman Gill delivered a breathtaking century during the third One Day International (ODI) against England. His performance not only prope??lled India to a strong position in the match but also sent the fans into a wild celebration.

Shubman Gill hits his 7th ODI ton

Gill, the young prodigy of Indian cricket,?? showcased his clas?s by reaching his 7th hundred in just 87 deliveries, a feat that was met with thunderous applause from the packed stands. His innings was a masterclass in modern-day batting, blending traditional technique with innovative shot-making, which included 14 fours and 3 towering sixes.

The atmosphere in the stadium was already vibrant due to the ongoing “Donate Organs, Save Lives” campaign by the BCCI, where players from both teams wore green armbands in solidarity. However, Gill’s entry to the crease added an extra layer of excitement. The anticipation built as he started to find his rhythm, with each shot he played drawing louder cheers from the crowd.

A particular highlight was when Gill, with a flourish of his bat, dispatched a delivery from English bowler Mark Wood over mid-on for a four, celebrating his milestone in style. The fans, already engaged with the organ donation initiative, erupted in unison, chanting Gill’s name and waving their green armbands in the air.

India and England are set to clash in the third and final ODI of their three-match series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on February 12, 2025. India have already won the series, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead. This match presents an opportunity for India to experiment with their lineup and test their benched players. For England, it’s a chance to avoid a series whitewash and regain some momentum before the Champions Trophy.

India edge past England clinching the ODI series

In the second ODI against England at Cuttack, India clinched the series with a dominant performa?nce, securing a four-wicket victory. England, after choosing to bat, were restricted to 304 runs in 49.5 overs, thanks to a disciplined bowling display by the Indian side.

Rohit Sharma led India’s chase with a magnificent century, scoring 119 off 90 balls. His innings, which included precise pull shots and elegant strokeplay, helped him surpass Rahul Dravid‘s ODI run tally and enter the top-10 ODI run-scorers list. Shubman Gill provided valuable support at the top, contributing a swift 60 off 52 balls, including nine fours and a six. Together, Rohit and Shubman forged a 136-run opening partnership, setting a strong foundation for the chase. Shreyas Iyer also chipped in with a crucial 44 runs before Axar Patel (41*) and Ravindra Jadeja (11*) guided India to victory.

Earlier in the match, Jadeja’s crucial breakthroughs disrupted England’s innings, as he dismissed key batters Ben Duckett (65 off 56) and Joe Root (69 off 72). Jadeja ended with figures of 3/35, maintaining his dominance over the English batters. England built their innings through contributions from Duckett, Root, and captain Jos Buttler (34 off 35), but they lost momentum due to Jadeja’s disciplined bowling. Liam Livingstone‘s quick 41 from 32 balls and Adil Rashid‘s rapid 14 runs helped England reach 300. However, three run-outs in the final overs saw them dismissed in 49.5 overs.

Following Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) elimination from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) cricketer Ambati Rayudu didn’t miss the chance to take a jab at RCB. The Faf du Plessis-led RCB suffered a significant setback, succumbing to a four-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Eliminator match held on Wednesday (May 22) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmed?abad.

RCB’s valiant defense falls short in IPL 2024 Eliminator

Despite posting a below-par total of 172/7 in their allotted 20 overs, the RCB displayed commendable resilience in their efforts to defend it against the RR. However, their defensive efforts ultimately proved insufficient as Rovman Powell orchestrated a tense four-wicket victory for the RR. Powell’s heroics included a decisive six struck straight back over the Lockie Ferguson‘s head, securing victory for RR with just 5 runs needed off the last 7 deliveries.

Ambati Rayudu’s biting remark

Speaking to Star Sports, after ??the match, Rayudu subtly hinted that such displays of aggression alone cannot secure IPL trophies. Reminding fans that success in the IPL is not solely determined by triumphing over CSK or showcasing overt ??aggression, Rayudu added that RCB would again have to try next year.

“You didn’t get the IPL trophy just by reaching the playoffs. You have to play with the same hunger. Don’t think you will win the IPL trophy just by beating CSK. You will have to come next year once again,” Rayudu said.

RCB’s history of criticism

Notably, RCB’s victory over CSK in the league stage had sparked controversy, with the Bengaluru-based franchise facing backlash for their exuberant celebrations on the field. Furthermore, reports emerged of RCB allegedly disregarding CSK legend MS Dhoni, who was speculated to be playing his final match of his professional career. The franchise and its fans faced criticism for their behavior towards CSK supporters outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, reflecting a broader sentiment of dissatisfaction with RCB’s conduct.

In the electrifying Eliminator of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Rajasthan Royals (RR) clashed with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on May 22 in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. The match witnessed a spectacular display of cricketing prowess, with both teams vying for a spot in the subsequent stages of the tournament.

RCB’s competitive total and RR’s response

After winning the toss, RR’s skipper Sanju Samson opted to bowl first, setting the stage for RCB’s batting prowess to be put to the test. Despite no standout individual performances, RCB managed a competitive score of 172/8 in their allotted 20 overs. This included valuable contributions from Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Mahipal Lomror. In response, RR faced early batting challenges, but Yashasvi Jaiswal‘s promising innings and the partnership between Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel kept their hopes alive.

Virat Kohli’s fielding brilliance 

However in a pivotal moment of the match, Parag struck the ball towards the square leg region off Cameron Green‘s delivery. Sensing an opportunity for a second run, Parag called for it and sprinted towards the opposite end with determination. Nevertheless, his partner, Jurel, seemed to lack the same urgency and was slow to respond.

Kohli, stationed at the boundary, observed Jurel’s casual approach and sprang into action quickly. With remarkable agility, Kohli intercepted the ball and swiftly threw it back to Green, who dismantled the stumps in a fluid motion.

The decision was referred to the TV umpire, whose replays confirmed that Jurel’s bat was marginally short of the crease when the bails were dislodged by Green’s throw. Disappointed by the missed opportunity, Jurel made his way back to the pavilion, while Kohli’s display of athleticism injected renewed energy into the RCB camp. The run-out of Jurel opened up possibilities for an RCB comeback, igniting Kohli’s competitive spirit even further.

RCB’s last-ditch efforts and RR’s victory

As the match approached its climax, RCB’s bowlers sought to capitalize on the momentum gained from Kohli’s fielding heroics. Mohammed Siraj‘s crucial wickets in the 18th over raised hopes of a late resurgence for RCB. Nonetheless, RR’s Rovman Powell held his nerve, guiding his team to a hard-fought four-wicket victory.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) registered a convincing eight-wicket victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday (May 22). Mitchell Starc‘s outstanding bowling performance played a crucial role in propelling KKR to the IPL 2024 final. Starc’s lethal bowling, where he picked three vital wickets while maintaining an economy rate of 8.50, not only restricted SRH to a modest total but also set the tone for KKR’s dominant chase. Chasing a target of 160 runs, KKR achieved the target comfortably with 6 wickets and 38 balls to spare, thanks to stellar performances from Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer.

Early wickets derail SRH’s innings

SRH got off to a disastrous start as Travis Head departed for a golden duck in just the second ball of the innings, bowled by Starc. Abhishek Sharma also fell cheaply, caught by Andre Russell off Vaibhav Arora‘s bowling. The quick dismissals of Head and Sharma put SRH under immediate pressure, leaving them struggling at 13/2 within the first two overs.

Rahul Tripathi’s resilient knock

Rahul Tripathi emerged as the lone warrior for SRH, playing a crucial innings to stabilize the innings. He crafted a well-compiled 55 runs off 35 balls, including 7 fours and a six, anchoring the innings amidst the flurry of wickets falling at the other end. However, despite Tripathi’s efforts, SRH failed to capitalize on his innings and post a substantial total.

Middle-order struggles and late flourish

While Tripathi held one end, SRH witnessed a collapse in the middle order. Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shahbaz Ahmed and Heinrich Klaasen all failed to contribute significantly, departing for single-digit scores. Abdul Samad provided some late fireworks with a quickfire 16 off 12 balls alongside skipper Pat Cummins who made 30 runs, ??but his efforts were not enough to propel SRH to a challenging score as they were bundled out for 159.

Kolkata Knight Riders’ disciplined bowling

KKR’s bowling unit put in a disciplined performance to restrict SRH to a below-par total. Starc led the attack brilliantly, claiming 3 crucial wickets. Vaibhav and Harshit Rana provided crucial breakthroughs, picking up a wicket each to keep the pressure on SRH’s batting lineup. Sunil Narine and Russell also chipped in w?ith a wicket each, ensuring that SRH never gained momentum.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine’s explosive start

KKR’s chase got off to a flying start, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine providing a solid foundation. Gurbaz’s aggressive approach saw him score 23 runs off 14 balls, including 2 fours and 2 sixes. Narine supported him well with a brisk 21 off 16 balls, setting the tone for KKR’s pursuit of the target.

Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer’s dominant partnership

Following the early dismissals of Gurbaz and Narine, Venkatesh and Shreyas took charge of the innings with a sensational partnership. Venkatesh played a blistering knock, smashing 51 runs off just 28 balls, which included 5 fours and 4 sixes. His aggressive strokeplay put SRH under immense pressure and swung the momentum in KKR’s favor. Shreyas, the KKR captain, provided solid support with an explosive innings of his own, scoring an unbeaten 58 off just 24 balls. His innings was laced with 5 fours and 4 sixes, steering KKR to victory with authority. Starc was ultimately named Player of the Match for his exceptional bowling performance.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling effort

Despite a spirited effort from their bowlers, SRH struggled to contain KKR’s batting onslaught. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan managed to pick up a wicket each, but they were expensive, conceding 28 and 22 runs respectively in their 3 overs each. Pat Cummins was the most successful bowler for SRH, picking 1 wicket for 38 runs in his 3 overs. Vijayakanth Viyaskanth and Travis Head also couldn’t stem the flow of runs, as KKR batters dominated the proceedings.

In the high-stakes Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Qualifier 1 between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at t??he Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, SRH faced a challenging start.

Opting to bat first turned disastrous for SRH as they lost their star openers, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, within the powerplay. Mitchell Starc’s fiery spell intensified the pressure, dismissing Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shahbaz Ahmed in the fifth over, reducing SRH to a preca?rious 39/4.

A steadying partnership

Despite the early setbacks, Heinrich Klaasen and Rahul Tripathi provided ?some stability to the innings with a crucial 62 runs partnership for the fourth wicket. Tripathi played a significant role, notching a 29-ball fifty, which helped SRH regain some footing. After Klaasen’s departure in the 11th over, Tripathi continued to anchor the SRH batting. His valiant effort saw him scoring 55 off 35 deliveries, showcasing resilience and determination.

Rahul Tripathi’s unfortunate mix-up with Abdul Samad

The turning point came in the 14th over when a mix-up between Tripathi and Abdul Samad led to Tripathi’s unfortunate run-out. On the second ball of the over, Sunil Narine delivered a back-of-a-length delivery to Samad, who hit it towards backward point. Miscommunication ensued as Samad sprinted for a single while Tripathi, ball-watching, slowed down. Andre Russell capitalized on the confusion, picking up the ball and throwing it accurately to wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Tripathi hesitated and decided against completing the ?run, resulting in his dismi??ssal.

Tripathi was visibly dejected as he walked off the field, his head bowed in disappointment. He didn’t return to the pavilion but instead sat on the staircase leading to it, reflecting on the missed opportunity to convert his innings into a higher score.

KKR’s dominance

Starc’s relentless bowling spell, coupled with strong support from the rest of the KKR bowlers, ensured that SRH were bowled out for 159. Starc finished with impressive figures of 3/34 from his four overs, while Varun Chakravarthy contributed an economical spell of 2/26. Despite Tripathi’s valiant 55 and Klaasen’s supporting 32, SRH struggled to build momentum. Skipper Pat Cummins added a crucial 30 off ?24 balls, ensuring SRH had a total to defend.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

Abdul Samad is a real enigma for me in the SRH camp. He keeps ge?tting chances but flops almost every time, except for 1-2 innings. To top it off, he forced a run and got Rahul Tripathi out.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pacer Mitchell Starc castled Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener Travis Head for a two-ball duck during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Qualifier 1 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday (May 21). SRH’s skipper, Pat Cummins, won the toss and opted to bat first against the Shreyas Iyer-KKR. However, SRH faced an ?early setback when Head was dismissed on the second ball of the match.

Travis Head’s dismissal

The crucial dismissal unfolded in the second over of SRH’s innings when Head attempted an ambitious drive down the ground off a well-placed good-length delivery from Starc. Unfortunately for Head, the ball skillfully found the gap between his bat and pad, crashing into the stumps and leaving him bowled for a two-ball duck. This marked Head’s second consecutive duck in the ongoing IPL season, underscoring his recent struggles at the crease.

Meanwhile, Starc’s fiery spell wasn’t over.
