The Indian cricketer Virat Kohli was going through a rough phase for a long time but yesterday in an IPL match which Royal Challengers Bangalore played against Gujarat Titans, King Kohli got his form back as he played a beautiful and smashing innings of 73 runs for which he played 54 balls.
His innings included 8 fours and 2 sixes and with this, he became the first batter to score 7000 runs for a single franchise in the IPL. Kohli has scored a half-century earlier in the first match against Gujarat Titans too but in that match, he scored runs at a very slow rate which ultimately increased pressure on other RCB batters.
In yesterday’s match which was played at Wankhede Stadium, RCB defeated GT by 8 wickets as the former successfully chased the target with 8 balls remaining in its innings and Virat Kohli was adjudged as the Player of the Match for his superb innings. Though Kohli got couple of lifelines, he still deserves all the credit for his wonderful innings and for playing an important role in his team’s win.
As fans got to see the vintage Virat Kohli in action, they started celebrating and expressed their happiness on the social media platforms. Check out some of the selected reactions:
As far as the match is concerned, GT won the toss and chose to bat first but it had a poor start as the opener Shubman Gill departed for just 1 run and soon Matthew Wade also got dismissed for just 16 runs (13 balls, 2 fours and 1 six). Hardik Pandya led from the front as he scored 62 runs not out (47 balls, 4 fours and 3 sixes) and he was well supported by Wriddhiman Saha (31 runs, 22 balls, 4 fours and 1 six) and David Miller (34 runs, 25 balls, 3 sixes).
GT managed to put up a total of 168/5 on the score board and in response, RCB had a great start as the openers Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis (44 runs, 38 balls, 5 fours) put up a partnership of 115 runs for the first wicket. Glenn Maxwell also played a blistering knock of40 runs (18 balls, 5 fours and 2 sixes) and RCB comfortably won the match which was a must-win for them to keep the chances of entering the play-offs alive.
Virat Kohli getting back in form is certainly good news for his ardent fans and the selectors too because he is an integral part of the Indian team. Now it will be interesting to see if RCB will get to enter the play-offs. What do you think?

The famous industrialist Ratan Tata is certainly an inspiration for all of us and there is no denying the fact that he has contributed immensely in the success of the Tata Group. Ratan Tata is the former chairman of Tata Sons and he also served as the chairman of the Tata Group from the year 1990 till 2012. The Indian government has awarded the 84 years old businessman-philanthropist with the third highest civilian award Padma Bhushan in the year 2000 and the second highest civilian award Padma Vibhushan in 2008.
Despite being one of the richest persons of the world, Ratan Tata is an epitome of simplicity and humbleness and recently once again he left everyone awestruck with his down to earth living style when he arrived at an event in a Tata Nano without bodyguards. The event was held at Mumbai’s Taj Hotel and Ratan Tata arrived without bodyguards and chauffeur as the car was driven by Shantanu Naidu, the 28 years old Deputy General Manager of Tata Trust. It is really difficult to believe that a person whose net worth is estimated to be around Rs. 3,500 crore lives such a simple life.
A video is going viral on social media which shows Ratan Tata being escorted by the employees of his hotel and once again Ratan Tata touched the chord of the hearts of Indians as they can’t stop applauding his humbleness and simplicity.

The SRH pacer Umran Malik is all over the news and not just cricket fans but many former cricketers and people from the cricket fraternity are also excited because of his raw pace and fiery bowling which has left many batters helpless as they are not able to handle the young bowler’s pace.
The former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden is very impressed with Umran Malik’s bowling and recently he talked about how the young pacer from Jammu & Kashmir scaring the top batters of Mumbai Indians. In the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, Umran Malik took 3 wickets (Ishan Kishan, Daniel Sams & Tilak Varma) and Matthew Hayden feels that Umran Malik exposed the vulnerability of MI’s star batter Ishan Kishan against good quality pace.
Talking in a cricket show on a sports show, the former Aussie cricketer says that along with unknown or uncapped players, Ishan Kishan has also got exposed against good quality fast bowling and that is a reason to worry for the Indian batter because once a batter reaches the highest level, he will constantly face fast bowling at the speed of 140-150 km/h. Matthew Hayden adds that it will be more difficult for the batter if the wicket will have bounce in it.
Ishan Kishan got out on a full-length delivery from Umran Malik which he could not connect well with the bat and ended up hitting the ball in the air and Priyam Garg took a beautiful catch.
Matthew Hayden further says that Umran Malik’s pace excites him and he loves the manner in which he has scared Ishan Kishan who was batting at 43 at that time. Hayden said that the previous ball was a bouncer and Umran Malik understood that Ishan Kishan was under pressure so he bowled a full-length delivery and the MI batter played an under pressure shot which resulted in losing his wicket. Matthew Hayden also praised Umran Malik for giving his team a breakthrough when MI was in a good position.
Currently Umran Malik is on a roll as he has taken 21 wickets in the tournament but the same can’t be said for his team SRH which has a very bleak chance of entering the play-offs. Two new IPL teams Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants have already qualified for the play-offs and now only two spots are left in the play-offs.

The England cricketers James Anderson and Joe Root are two pillars of the England cricket team who have given many moments of happiness to the English cricket fans but there were rumours that both these players had a fall-out and they are not on talking terms. It all started after James Anderson and Stuart Broad were not included in the squad for the West Indies tour. As Joe Root was the skipper at that time, there is no doubt that he played an important role in the ouster of James Anderson and Stuart Broad from the team and both the English pacers didn’t hesitate in expressing their disappointment in the statements made by them.
The English team lost the 3-match test series against West Indies by 0-1 and it was the last time Joe Root led England in test matches as he gave up the captaincy after that and Ben Stokes has been appointed as the new skipper of the England cricket squad.
Recently James Anderson, the most successful test pacer with 640 wickets, gave an interview in which he denied rumours of his fall-out with Joe Root. He says that nothing of this sort has happened and they both talk to each other and respect each other as well. Anderson refuses any feeling of animosity between him and Root and adds that he had a chat with the former skipper before he announced his decision of stepping down from the captain’s post.
Both the players James Anderson and Joe Root are playing in the County Championship for different teams and in one of the matches, Anderson dismissed Root with a beautiful inswinger. Talking about that delivery, Anderson said that he watched its video few times and what he liked the most about that delivery was that it was a good ball and though it was not supposed to reverse, it certainly drifted in a little bit. James Anderson called that delivery a wobble seam which means that the ball was bowled with seam up.
New Zealand will be touring England and both the nations will play three test match series starting June 2. Both James Anderson and Stuart Broad will be making a comeback as the new skipper Ben Stokes has openly talked about their return in the team.
This series will mark the starting of a new era as the England squad will not only have a new skipper but also a new coach in the form of former Kiwi cricketer Brendon McCullum.

The five times IPL champion Mumbai Indians will certainly like to forget the IPL 2022 as a nightmare because Rohit Sharma led team is at the bottom of the points table with just 3 wins the 13 matches that it played. What could be more disheartening for fans than the fact that the team which was considered as the favorite to win the IPL 2022 before the start of the tournament couldn’t even enter the play-offs!
As MI is officially out of the race of the play-offs, it is quite obvious and sensible in their part to give chances to the youngsters and they did give chance to Mayank Markande and Sanjay Yadav in its last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad which it lost by 3 runs. Hitman has also stated that now they are looking at the future because of which they are giving chance to the young players of their side and he also gives a hint that changes will be made in their last league match as well which MI will play against Delhi Capitals.
However, cricket fans are a little aghast and surprised as to why MI is not giving a chance to Arjun Tendulkar who is with the Mumbai franchise for almost 2 seasons now and was purchased for Rs. 30 lakhs in the mega-auction of the IPL 2022. Arjun Tendulkar is an all-rounder who has performed well for Mumbai at the domestic level plus we can’t overlook the fact that he is son of the legendary former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar who is the mentor of MI.
Twitter users are not able to understand as to what mistake has been committed by Arjun Tendulkar because of which everyone else is getting a chance to play excluding him and there were some who advised him to change his career choice if he is not yet ready to play a match in the IPL.

Many fans were of the opinion that Arjun Tendulkar would play in the MI vs SRH encounter but that didn’t happen and now it is being stated by some netizens that he will get a chance to play against DC in the final league match of MI as he will replace Jasprit Bumrah, though nothing can be said with confirmation.
However, this question is quite valid on the part of cricket fans as to why MI picked Arjun Tendulkar if they didn’t want him to play in the IPL2022? Was he bought only as a net bowler?
What is your take in this regard? Share with us.

Chennai Super Kings, the four times IPL champion, had a very poor run in the IPL 2022 as it is sitting at the 9th spot with just 4 wins in the 13 matches played by it and it is officially out of the race of play-offs. CSK started the league under a new skipper as Ravindra Jadeja became the third cricketer to lead the Chennai team after MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina, who used to lead the team in Dhoni’s absence, but after a dismal run in the tournament, Jadeja gave up the captaincy and Mahi was once again appointed as the skipper of the team.
In fact, rumours are doing rounds that there is a rift between Ravindra Jadeja and the CSK management and he may not be a part of the franchise next year.
There is no doubt that CSK fans never expected such poor show from their favourite team which started the tournament as the defending champions. Though sometimes CSK gets criticized by their fans yet it has a loyal fan base and fans stuck to their team whatever the situation may be.
The Chennai franchise still enjoys the loyalty of its fans and one such fan wrote an emotional letter to Thala (MSD). Amazingly, the skipper also responded to it as he signed and wrote, “Well Written, Best Wishes”.
Check out the pics shared by CSK on Twitter:

The letter got framed by CSK as it posted the image on its official Twitter handle with the caption. “Words from the #yellove framed for life & signed with love!”
CSK’s last league match will be against Rajasthan Royals on 20th May and the former will certainly like to win it in order to leave the tournament with a victory.
