Former Indian batter Suresh Raina has been one of the finest to have played the game of cricket. He was a perfect team man as his ability to chip with bat, ball and even in the field put the team in a strong position many times before he called time on his international career on 15th August 2020 minutes after MS Dhoni announced his retirement. Not only did he prove out to be a vital cog in the Indian team but is a legend of the Indian Premier League as well.&nbsp;



Known as ?Mr IPL? Suresh Raina is one of the main reasons behind the success of the <a href="https://www.iplt20.com/auction" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com/auction">IPL</a>. Since the inception of the league, the southpaw played many famous knocks and was one of the mainstays for the Chennai Super Kings. Apart from Dhoni, Raina deserves equal credit for the success of the franchise. Being among the highest run-getters in the league, he called time on his career after going unsold in the IPL 2022 auction.?



<h2>?Mai Shahid Afridi nai hu,? Suresh Raina?s hilarious reply to a reporter asking him to come out of retirement and play in IPL&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/IMG_6728.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-104670" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Suresh Raina | LLC</figcaption></figure>



Raina, who now plays T20 leagues across the globe, is currently a part of the India Maharajas in the ongoing Legends League Cricket Masters tournament in Doha, Qatar. He was the top performer for his side in their recent game against World Giants.



Maharaja?s batters struggled to get going but Raina came to the rescue and played a brisk knock. He scored 49 off 41 deliveries that helped his side post a total of 136 runs, which at one moment seemed difficult. The batter smashed 2 fours and 3 sixes in his innings and was the lone warrior for his side with second best contribution coming from Manvinder Bisla, 36.?

Raina also chipped in with the ball as he picked the wicket of Chris Gayle, who smashed a staggering half-century. Despite his all-round performance in the game, he failed to win the game for his side. While he was the top performer for his team on the field, his best came in the press conference.&nbsp;



After the game, Raina was asked by a reporter whether he might return to professional cricket after his performance in the game as many are eager to see him in the IPL again. Replying to this, he showed great humour and gave a savage response, saying:??I'm Suresh Raina, not Shahid Afridi! I've taken the retirement.?



Here?s the video:?

<h2>Suresh Raina - a prolific run-getter in IPL&nbsp;</h2>

Suresh Raina has been a prolific run-getter in the tournament. He made his debut for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2008 and was an integral part of the team. The former Indian batter captained Gujarat Lions in IPL 2016 and 2017 and returned back to the MS Dhoni-led side in 2018 and played a key role in his side?s title-winning triumph. Suresh Raina, who is CSK?s highest run-scorer, is also the fifth-highest run-getter in IPL cricket. The left-hander had amassed 5528 runs at an average of 32.51 and a strike rate of 135.

(29 Nov) Legends League Cricket 2023 Points Table: With the first win in the tournament, Ross Taylor's Southern Superstars have shown a tinge of comeback in the middle of the tournament. Southern Superstars defeated Manipal Tigers by 5 wickets in a must-win match. This win of SNSS has opened a narrow slit for their qualification for the future rounds if they do well in the next two matches. Here we are with the latest Updated Legends League Cricket 2023 Points Table After Manipal Tigers vs Southern Superstars.

Manipal Tigers was the only undefeated team this season and SNSS was the only one not to win a single game. Now after Match No. 9, all the teams in the league have lost one or more matches and won one or more. The doors of qualification for all the teams to the elimination stage are open.

Winning the toss, Harbhajan opted to bat first, got a sluggish start to the innings, and kept losing wickets. Six batsmen of Manipal Tigers got dismissed on single-digit scores and riding over a steady 47 by Perera, MT posted a below-par score of 124 runs.



The chase started as good as Southern Superstars would have wished for. No wickets in the first 10 overs and 60 runs on the board. They came under pressure in the final 5 overs where the asking rate rose up a bit but Pawan Negi powered an 11-ball 25 with the help of 2 fours and 2 sixes, leading his team to the first win of the tournament.

Gautam Gambhir vs S Sreeshanth Controversy: Gautam Gambhir and S Sreeshanth got into an abusive argument during the Legends League Cricket Eliminator match between Gujarat Giants and India Capitals. The two had an argument to the point that players and the umpires had to interfere and stop them in order to prevent things from getting worse between the two players.



The altercation between the two occurred during the second half of the game. Gambhir hit a six and a four off Sreeshanth's bowling, and when Sreeshanth bowled a dot ball during that over, the two exchanged words. Things got worse when, at the end of the sixth over, both of them got into a heated dispute with each other.



The India Capitals managed to post a huge total of 223 runs on the board thanks to Skipper Gambhir?s knock of 51 runs on 30 balls at a strike rate of 170, and other batters chipped in with valuable contributions as well. In reply to the target set by the India Capitals, the Gujarat Giants only managed to score 211 runs in their 20 overs, and the India Capitals went on to win the eliminator by 12 runs.

</div></figure>



After the match ended, the former Indian bowler said that the former Indian opening batsman was very rude and called him Mr Fighter. Today, Sreeshanth went live on his Instagram and revealed the details regarding the conflict between the two former Indian players. He kept on calling me on live television, on the center pitch... I did not use a single bad word. I kept on saying, 'What are you saying? What are you saying?". In fact, I kept laughing in a sarcastic way because he kept calling me 'fixer, fixer'. Forgive my language, but he said, 'F*ck off, fixer'. This is the language that he used on live TV. In fact, he used the same language when the umpires tried to control him. In fact, I moved, but he kept repeating the same thing.



"This is to clear the air. This is the real truth," Sreesanth said.



Gautam Gambhir tweeted a post on his X handle in reply to this controversy, and the caption of his tweet was 'Smile when the world is all about attention' hinting that the former Indian opener is not paying attention to Sreeshanth's words.

icc-announces-match-officials-for-champions-trophy-2025

In what comes as a shock to many, Team India, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, are unlikely to take part in any of the Champions Trophy 2025 warm-up games, the Indian Media reported on Monday, 10th February. 
According to the report of Geo News, the Indian team, who are currently engaged in a white ball bilateral series event versus England, will depart for Dubai on the 15th of February, where they are scheduled to play all of their Champions Trophy 2025 matches.The news report further suggested that the 2013 winners will not be playing any warm-up games before the commencement of the eight-team tournament. 
This development comes two weeks after it was reported that the Men in Blue would play at least one warm-up contest versus the United Araba Emirates (UAE) or Bangladesh (BAN) in the city of Dubai but now that plan has reportedly been discarded. 
The 2025 edition of the tournament, comprising of a total of 15 games, will commence from 19th February and it will culminate on 9th March. This mega event of this year will be played across three venues of Pakistan - Lahore, Karachi &amp; Rawalpindi and in Dubai for Team India. 
Rohit Sharma &amp; his men will kick off their Champions Trophy campaign on 20th of February as they will be locking horns versus Asian-Rivals Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium of Dubai. Following the conclusion of this match, the Men in Blue will then take on Fierce-Rivals Pakistan in a highly energetic &amp; mega hit contest, scheduled to take place on the 23rd of February at the same stadium. 
Their group-stage phase will come to an end with the conclusion of their final match versus the Blackcaps in Dubai on the 2nd of March. 
<h2>Team India are sweating over the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah</h2>
The Indian team have already unveiled their 15-player squad for ICC's Champions Trophy 2025 tournament in January but the availability of elite seamer Jasprit Bumrah is uncertain as he continues to recover from the back-injury he suffered versus Australia. 
As per the latest update of the Indian media, the final call regarding his place in the team is slated to be taken tomorrow i.e on 11th of February, the deadline date for the submission of the final &amp; confirmed Champions Trophy squads to the ICC.

Mohsin Naqvi, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) personally oversaw the renovation progress and thanks to the hardwork &amp; dedication of the workers, the Stadium renovation has been completed in a span of 4 months. 
The official inauguration of the Cricket Stadium in Karachi is slated to be held tomorrow i.e 11th of February in the evening period and a grand opening ceremony has been planned by the PCB. Famous Pakistani singers Shafqat Amanat Ali &amp; Sahir Ali Bagga will be seen performing in the ceremony and they will be entertaining the crowd with their singing talent.
An eye catching fireworks display along with a light show are also planned to feature in the event. Fans can enter the stadium free of cost in order to attend the grand opening ceremony.

"The renovation work at the National Stadium of Karachi commenced on the 28th of September last year and thanks to the blessings of God, the project got completed by the 31st of January. The Pavillion building of the stadium was demolished completely and and it has been rebuilt with a fresh look and state of the art facilities. Also, new sitting chairs have been installed in the stands," Mohsin Naqvi said. 
"Mordern scoreboards, new LED lights and new grills have also been added while the fences across the stadium have been removed in order to ensure a better viewing experience for the supporters. Renovation work on the hospitality boxes have been conductrd and a new pedestrian walking bridge along with a brand new ring-road have also be built," he added.

<blockquote>
"We have added top notch facilities for both the players and the fans. For the Champions Trophy participating teams, we will be giving our best to provide the best possible facilities to the players," he said.

The inauguration of the stadium comes days after Pakistan's prime minister Shehbaz Sharif inaugurated the Gaddafi Stadium of Lahore which underwent massive renovations as well. The PCB had commenced the major upgradation project of the two venues last year owing to the forthcoming 2025 Champions Trophy whose matches are slated to be played at these two stadiums along with Rawalpindi's Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

All the 8 participating teams are divided into two groups of four sides each, with Group-A comprising of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan &amp; New Zealand, while Group-B consists of England, Afghanistan, South Africa &amp; Australia. 
Pakistan will be hosting a total of 10 Champions Trophy 2025 matches, while four games, including all three of Team India's group-stage fixtures and the first semi-final will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium of Dubai.

Bowling has never been the seemingly positive point on the Indian soil, as the pacers often have picked many more wickets in overseas conditions, like the tracks of Australia and England, which helped bowlers with uneven bounce and lateral movement. 
Playing strategically has helped players on sub-continent tracks, as the record of spinners on Indian tracks seems better than anywhere in the world. Likes of several great spinners like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbhajan_Singh">Harbhajan Singh</a>, Anil Kumble, Ravi Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja feature on our list of most wickets for India on Indian soil; however, legendary paceman<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapil_Dev"> Kapil Dev</a> is the only fast bowler in the list. 
<h2 dir="ltr">Top 5 Indian bowlers with the most wickets on Indian soil</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Anil Kumble</h3>

Kumble has picked 956 wickets for India across formats, of which 476 wickets were picked on Indian soil. Most of his wickets came in the red-ball format, where he picked up 350 wickets in India and also amassed 126 wickets in the ODI format as well. 
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Ravi Ashwin </h3>
Recently retired legendary Indian spinner Ravi Ashwin was a fearsome bowler, as no overseas batter ever dared to overpower him in Indian conditions. The off-spinner was widely known for his variety and gained considerable success in overseas contests as well. 
Ashwin went on to pick 475 wickets on home soil, with 383 of them coming in Test cricket and 70 in ODIs, with 22 wickets in the T20 format as well.

Here comes probably the finest bowling all-rounder from India. After Kapil Dev and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuvraj_Singh">Yuvraj Singh</a>, Ravindra Jadeja is often denoted as India’s best-ever all-rounder across formats. 
Jadeja has picked up 603 international wickets, while he also has 6000+ international runs on his bat as well. Jadeja has picked 369 wickets on home soil, with 238 in red-ball cricket, 117 ODI wickets, and 14 wickets in T20 format in India.
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Kapil Dev </h3>
One of India’s first yet best Indian pacers, Kapil Dev, the first World Cup-winning skipper, was India’s most successful bowler until Kumble surpassed him after almost 2 decades of his supremacy.
Kapil Dev picked 319 wickets at home, of which 219 were in the Test format and 100 wickets came in the limited-overs format in the sub-continent.
