IPL 2021 Auction: Krishnappa Gowtham becomes most expensive Indian uncapped players.



IPL 2021 Auction: The uncapped Karnataka all-rounder, Krishnappa Gowtham has made a record as he gets picked by Chennai Super Kings for whopping INR 9.25 Crores at the ongoing IPL 2021 auctions. The all-rounder is the most expensive Indian uncapped players brought in any auction till now as reported by news agency ANI.



The right-handed batsman and off-spinner entered the fourteenth edition of Indian Premier League auction with a base price of INR 20 Lakhs. Gowtham came into limelight in 2018 after he continuously hit towering sixes and made runs for his side. He has 186 runs form 24 IPL games. His best performances came in 2018 where he smacked bowlers with a strike rate of 196.87 and amassed 126 runs.



In 2018 and 2019 cash-rich league, Gowtham gave his services to Rajasthan Royals while he was picked by Punjab Kings ahead of the IPL 2020 season. Now he will be playing along-side MS Dhoni in the coming edition of Indian Premier League.



The all-rounder has played 62 T20 games and scored 592 runs at a strike rate of 159.24.



Along with these good runs, Gowtham has also scalped 41 wickets in these games with an economy rate of 7.60 runs per over.



Krishnappa Gowtham will be a great addition to CSK?s arsenal as he can become a key player at times for the three-times champion. He will act as the fourth all-rounder option for CSK along with Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran.



As of now, Jadeja is injured and no clarity is there in his fitness and form lately. Gowtham will play a major role for CSK and most of the games will be played at MA Chidambaram and the off-spinner will be important for that surface.&nbsp;

IPL 2021 Auction: Krishnappa Gowtham becomes most expensive Indian uncapped players

IPL 2021: Krishnappa Gowtham recalls the moment when he got picked in the IPL 2021 Auction.



IPL 2021: Karnataka all-rounder, Krishnappa Gowtham who is currently with the Indian national side as a net bowler, recalls the moment when he got picked in the IPL 2021 Auction by Chennai Super Kings. Gowtham surpassed Krunal Pandya record and fetched whopping INR 9.25 Crores from CSK as an uncapped Indian Player.



Krishnappa Gowtham put Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a bidding war which was joined by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) later on and beat the two franchises to acquire the player.



"It was nerve-wracking, I was very anxious, watching on TV," Gowtham, who is currently with the Indian Test team in Ahmedabad as a net bowler for the series against England, told ESPNcricinfo.



"We'd just landed in Ahmedabad and I'd just switched on the TV and my name came up. Emotions were changing every minute. Then, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya knocked on my door and gave me a big hug and they asked for a big treat."



Gowtham put his name on the auction table with the base price of INR 20 Lakhs and rose up to INR 9.25 Crores. He came into the limelight in 2018 where he smashed towering sixes at the death.



Gowtham was part of the inaugural champions for two years before he was picked by Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in 2020.&nbsp;



Both parents and wife of all-rounder were in tears when they came to know about the news.



The 32 years old cricketer is a huge fan of MS Dhoni and will play under him in the upcoming IPL. The off-spinner will be crucial for MS Dhoni as the surface of MA Chidambaram suits spinners.



Although it is still doubtful that the venues will be changed for the coming IPL or it will go in a regular manner.

SLvsIND: Yuzvendra Chahal, K Gowtham tested covid positive after the Completion of Sri Lanka tour.



SLvsIND: Team India has been hit by another setback as two spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Krishnappa Gowtham have also returned covid positive after the completion of the Sri Lanka tour. The duo will have to stay back in Sri Lanka until they recover completely.



The reports on Friday confirmed the development as all the other Indian players touring Sri Lanka returned home after the end of the tour. The Indian contingent has landed back on home soil this evening.



It is noteworthy that, earlier, all-rounder Krunal Pandya was tested covid positive and sent into isolation. As per the protocols, eight of Krunal?s close contacts were also forced to quarantine.&nbsp;



All the three covid positive returned players stayed back in Sri Lanka. According to the health protocols, all the three aforementioned cricketers will only get to travel back home after they come up with two consecutive negative covid reports in the RT-PCR test.

?Yuzi and Gowtham have tested positive as the team was supposed to return by a charter flight to Bengaluru sans Krunal Pandya. But now as per rules, Gowtham and Yuzi will also have to be in seven-day isolation in Sri Lanka. The contingent has reached Bengaluru," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.



India got hammered in the T20I series by 2-1 as Sri Lanka registered their first T20I series win since 2019. Team India were reduced to mere few young cricketers after the covid positive report of Krunal Pandya.



India clinched the ODI series by 2-1 prior to the loss of the T20I series.

Mumbai had a forgettable season in TATA IPL 2022. The team will be keen to make a lasting impression on TATA IPL 2023. Suryakumar Yadav, the senior batter in an interview said, ?The Mumbai Indians will anyhow get their hands on their 6th IPL trophy in TATA IPL 2023?. This is the kind of confidence that the players playing in the gold and blue have. The Mumbai Indians have always depended on the all-rounders to maintain a good balance in their squad. They have had the likes of Kieron Pollard and the Pandya brothers. They will be keen on creating a similar middle-order next season. Here is an in-depth look at the same:&nbsp;



<h2>1) Shivam Dube can play for the Mumbai Indians in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



It is high time that Shivam Dube performs to his potential and gets a well-defined role. Dube is a local boy. He is well-acquainted with the Wankhede pitch. His performance with the bat in the recently concluded IPL was above average. CSK used him at times as a finisher and at times as a top-order batsman. They failed to give him a well-defined role. This can be a good chance for Mumbai to bag a player like Shivam. Mumbai must hope that CSK liquidates this asset and let him in the auction.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Shivam-Dube-min.jpg" alt="Shivam Dube Mumbai Indians" class="wp-image-90321" width="900" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: MoneyControl.com</figcaption></figure>



Shivam can be a perfect replacement for Hardik Pandya as he is an Indian fast-bowling all-rounder. Dube will also have local support from the fans while he is playing at the Wankhede. He is a good player of the short ball and makes use of his height to counter the bounce. On his day he can take the game away single-handedly. &nbsp;



<h2>2) Krishnappa Gowtham:&nbsp;</h2>



Krishnappa Gowtham and his career are no less than a roller-coaster. He was picked for 9.2 Crore Indian Rupees making him the most expensive uncapped player in the history of the IPL. Gowtham didn?t play a single game that season for the men in yellow and was dropped the next season. He won the IPL 2021 season along with the men in yellow. In the TATA IPL 2022 Mega Auction, Lucknow Super Giants made an absolute steal by picking the player from Tamil Nadu for 80 lakhs. Mumbai must hope that LSG liquidates this player.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Krishnappa-Gowtham-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="K Gowtham" class="wp-image-90322" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: IndiaTV News</figcaption></figure>



Krishnappa is a two-time IPL champion. He has once won the title with Mumbai in 2017 and once with CSK in 2021. He can be the replacement for Krunal Pandya that Mumbai is looking for. Gowtham was scouted by Mumbai Indians itself. It shows that the men in blue back the abilities of this talented player. He can bowl right arm orthodox and can easily bat at number 7. Not to forget the match in TNPL where Gowtham scored a 100 in the first innings and picked an 8-wicket haul in the same match.&nbsp;



<h2>3) Tim David can play for the Mumbai Indians in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Tim-David-min-1024x664.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-90323" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: IPL 2022</figcaption></figure>



The biggest mistake made by the Mumbai Indians this season was that they dropped Tim David from the squad after he failed to fire in the first 2&nbsp;games of the season. The above are the words of Sunil Gavaskar. This view of his shows how impressive Tim has been in the final opportunities he got. In the second last game of the season, he almost got the Mumbai Indians home by scoring 46 runs in 16 balls. He was hitting sixes at will. He was taking all the bowlers to the cleaners. In the match against the Delhi Capitals, which happened to be the last game for Mumbai, Tim scored a match-winning 34. The big Singaporean needs to be backed by the men in blue. The MI management has to use him more effectively.&nbsp;Mumbai will be retaining Tim David for sure.

Mumbai Indians: Top 3 All-Rounders to Target in TATA IPL 2023.&nbsp;

mumbai-indians-top-3-all-rounders-to-target-in-tata-ipl-2023

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: In a match that swung like a pendulum, both teams fought tooth and nail in a contest filled with twists and turns. India have defeated England in the 4th T20I by 15 runs and won the 17th T20I series in a row. 
India’s early collapse left them gasping for breath, but a remarkable fightback brought them back into the game, thanks to two key players. England, chasing a challenging target, seemed to be in control until a sudden shift changed the course of the match. With wickets falling in clusters, the momentum shifted again and again. As the final overs approached, it was anyone’s game. 
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Match Summary</h2>
For the first time in the series, Jos Buttler made the right call at the toss and opted to bowl first after winning the flip of the coin. They had two changes - Mahmood for Wood, and Bethell for Smith. Meanwhile, for India, Rinku Singh was fit and available so there were going to be some changes to the squad. Arshdeep came in place of Shami, Rinku came in for Jurel, and Shivam Dube came in for Washington Sundar. 
INDIA Playing11: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy
ENGLAND Playing11: Philip Salt(w), Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood
<h2>India Innings- 181/9 (20 Overs)</h2>
The Indian innings began on a shaky note, as early wickets put the team under pressure. Sanju Samson, the opener, was dismissed cheaply for just 1 run, followed by Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav, who both fell for ducks in the same over. This was the first time Saqib Mahmood played against India in India and he made the most with three wickets in his first over. The scoreboard showed a fragile 12/3 after just 2 overs, leaving the middle order to rebuild.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679cfa1923a1e.jpg" alt="">
It was a daunting situation, but Abhishek Sharma rose to the occasion, playing a spirited knock. He added 29 runs, providing some stability before falling to Rashid. Despite the early collapse, Sharma’s contribution offered a glimmer of hope.
As wickets continued to fall, it was Rinku Singh who took charge next. His 30 runs came at a steady pace, keeping the innings afloat amid the tumbling wickets. However, with the loss of Rinku, Hardik Pandya stepped in and took charge. His aggressive knock of 53 off 30 balls injected much-needed momentum into the innings.
Pandya, known for his flair, played some brilliant shots, taking on the bowlers with confidence. But as he was dismissed at 166/6, the task of reaching a competitive total seemed daunting again.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679cfa1bcdc2f.jpg" alt="">
In the final overs, Shivam Dube kept the hopes alive, contributing another vital 53 runs. With his resilience and some decent contributions from the middle order, the Indian team recovered from the early collapse and put forth a competitive total of 182 runs.
The innings ended at 181/9, with the team left to reflect on a few crucial missed opportunities. The loss of wickets in quick succession early on severely hampered their progress, making it difficult to post a bigger total. The standout performances of Pandya and Dube were overshadowed by the fragility at the top, leaving India with a comparatively easier target to defend.
England Innings- 
England Started with Salt and Duckett and they just smashed all Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground in the first powerplay. Ben Duckett just went furious with an over 200 Strike rate in the first 6 overs losing his wicket on the last ball of the powerplay. Before that, he smashed 39 runs off just 18 balls. Phil Salt was equally aggressive, smoking four boundaries in the powerplay but fell against Axar Patel in the very next over after the powerplay.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679cfa1641ee7.jpg" alt="">
Buttler went back soon in the 8th over and India were back in the game in the span of just 10 balls after the powerplay. Livingstone and Brook played out the tough session and the pressure started to build. Harshit Rana, the concussion substitute in for Shivam Dube got Liam Livingstone in the second ball of his first over. 
Harry Brook took the charge and started the counterattack. He took Harshit Rana on for 18 runs in the 14th over but couldn't do it for long as Varun Chakravarthy got him just after the completion of his half-century. England were in all sorts of trouble as Bryden Carse also lost his wicket in the same over. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679d0182c8c49.jpg" alt="">
Harshit Rana again struck in his third over and took Bethell out of the game. Soon, Bishnoi got Archer and England were 8 down for 146 runs. They still needed 36 runs off 18 balls. Harshit bowled a tight 19th over and it was all over for England in the last over when Arshdeep Singh got Saqib Mahmood and England were bowled out for 166 runs. The picture was looking pretty clear after the 18th over and Harshit Rana made it obvious that India wins the series.
INDIA won the match by 15 runs

India's stunning recovery from 12/3 to post 181/9 was enough to defend against England, who fell short at 166, losing by 15 runs. Harshit Rana, the debutant rose to the moment and India won a thriller.

India fought back brilliantly after early setbacks, while England's chase crumbled under pressure from spinners, handing India a narrow victory.

Revealed - Full list of award winners at the BCCI annual awards; Jasprit Bumrah to get major honour, no reward for Rohit, Kohli

Former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik is having a great time in the ongoing SA20 2025 for the Paarl Royals. The wicketkeeper batter played his best innings in the tournament on Thursday (30th January) against Joburg Super Kings at The Wanderers Stadium, in Johannesburg. 
Dinesh Karthik had a great outing with the bat for his team and helped his team post a fighting total on the board. The keeper-batter slammed a magnificent half-century and entertained the crowd both in South Africa as well as back home in India with his power-hitting. 
The highlight of Dinesh Karthik's innings was the three sixes that he hit on three balls against Wihan Lubbe in Paarl Royals' 13th over. He hit the first six on a free hit as he went down on the knees and hit a slog sweep into the deep mid-wicket stands for a massive six. 
On the next ball, Lubbe bowled a short ball, which Dinesh Karthik made full use of. He pulled the ball over deep square leg for his second consecutive six and put the spinner under pressure. Then on the next ball, the keeper-batter again was on his knees and played a slog sweep, which went over mid-wicket into the crowd. 
You can see the video at the end of the article: 
Dinesh Karthik played a sensational innings of 53 runs off 39 balls. He batted with a strike rate of over 135 and also slammed 4 fours and 3 sixes in his innings. Thanks to his effort with the bat, Paarl Royals posted a fighting total of 150 runs on the board. 
His effort, however, went in vain as Joburg Super Kings chased the target with 7 wickets in hand. Faf du Plessis was the star with the bat for his team as he played an innings of 87 runs off 55 balls. He batted with a strike rate of 158 and slammed 4 fours and 7 sixes to take his team home.
