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

Tim David the Big Singaporean All-Rounder is all set to play for Australia in the upcoming edition of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. But how does a Singaporean play for Australia? What is the story behind it? Is Tim David also an Australian? We have seen what Tim can do on a good day when he played in the PSL, in the Hundred, and even for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. So, what value will he add to the Australian team? Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;



<h2>Tim David will play for Australia:&nbsp;</h2>



This is not the first time we are seeing a player of another nationality play for Australia. Earlier we have seen Dirk Nannes who played for the Netherlands and was of Dutch origin, play for Australia. Luke Ronchi, the wicket-keeper batter from New Zealand also played for Australia. So, it is not surprising to see Tim David play for the Men in Yellow. Tim made his international debut for Singapore in 2019. &nbsp;



<h2>Tim David was Born in Singapore and Bought Up in Australia:&nbsp;</h2>



Ever since he only played a few games for them. Singapore happens to be his place of birth and hence he had to play for them initially. His father was an engineer and they had traveled to Singapore for his work. In the early 2000s, when there was the Great Asian Financial Crisis, Tim and his family shifted back to Australia. From then on Tim?s career began in Australia. &nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Tim-David-min-1024x664.jpg" alt="Tim David" class="wp-image-93701"/><figcaption>David showed his explosive nature in the last few games of the Mumbai Indians. IMG SRC: The Indian Express.</figcaption></figure>



If Tim plays for Australia which he eventually will, Australia will have the best fast bowling all-rounders. They will have Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, and Tim David! Add to that Glenn Maxwell and it becomes one of the most impactful middle-orders. &nbsp;



<h2>How Did Tim David Get Cleared to Play for Australia?&nbsp;</h2>



After living on the Australia Visa for many long years, Tim David?s formal citizenship with Australia was coincidentally just approved by the Australian Government. He is now an official citizen of Australia and also of Singapore. In every capacity, Tim David can play for Australia. &nbsp;



<h2>Australia Team for ICC T20 World Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



Aaron Finch (C)&nbsp;Pat Cummins&nbsp;(VC), Ashton Agar, Tim David,&nbsp;Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis,&nbsp;Mitchell Marsh,&nbsp;Glenn Maxwell,&nbsp;Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc,&nbsp;Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade,&nbsp;David Warner, Adam Zampa.&nbsp; &nbsp;



<h2>The playing XI will be as follows:&nbsp;</h2>



Aaron Finch, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Tim David, Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Strarc, Josh Hazelwood, and Pat Cummins. &nbsp;

Tim David from Singapore is All Set to Play for Australia in ICC T20 World Cup 2022. How is it Possible?

tim-david-from-singapore-is-all-set-to-play-for-australia-in-icc-t20-world-cup-2022-how-is-it-possible

The Australian cricket team for the ICC T20 World Cup has been announced. The ICC T20 World Cup will be held at the home of the defending champions Australia. The team will be keen to reign supreme in their motherland. Australia is going to be very tough to beat. The ?Never say die? attitude of the Australians takes them a very long way. The team is filled with match-winners. Here is an in-depth SWOT analysis of the Australian team before the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;



<h2>Australian Squad for ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



Aaron Finch (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.&nbsp;



<h2>Strengths of the Australian Team:&nbsp;</h2>



The biggest strength of the Australian team is their flexible nature. The team is filled with floaters and multi-faceted players. The likes of Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, and Marcus Stoinis can flip the games in a matter of a few balls. The next strength is the fact that the Australians are aware of their home conditions and will have crowd support in abundance. &nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Tim-David-Australia-min-1-1024x681.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup" class="wp-image-94019"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">This man can flip the game in a matter of a few overs. IMG SRC: ESPNCricInfo</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Weakness of the Australian Team:&nbsp;</h2>



There are no evident weaknesses in the team but a backup spin option looks concerning. The team had Mitchell Swepson earlier but now they only have Ashton Agar. Maxwell is also an option but he doesn?t assure you a full quota of 4 overs. The form of Mitchell Starc off-late is also a point to ponder. Starc is a true champion and a big-match player. He does know how to perform on the global stage but he needs to get the yorkers right.&nbsp;



<h2>Opportunities at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/Australian-Cricket-Team-min-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup" class="wp-image-94021"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Many questions are yet to be answered. IMG SRC: ICCCricketSchedule.</figcaption></figure>



The opportunities are in abundance. A big opportunity for Australia is to defend the title for the first time in history. The next opportunity is for Tim David. David and his citizenship document were fast-tracked so that he gets an opportunity to play for Australia. With that being said, the international cricket circuit is waiting to see what he has in store for us. &nbsp;



<h2>Threats to the Australian Team at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



The biggest threat is that of ?Too many cooks spoil the broth?. There are just too many great players. When we make the playing XI, you do not see a place for Steve Smith. But players like Smith are the essential binding force of the batting unit. You certainly cannot play Stoinis, David, and Mitchell Marsh together. And if you play them where will Maxwell bat is the big question? The Australian team management is spoilt for choices. &nbsp;



<h2>Schedule for the Australian Team at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Match Details&nbsp;</td><td>Date&nbsp;</td><td>Venue&nbsp;</td><td>Timings&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Australia VS New Zealand&nbsp;</td><td>22 October&nbsp;</td><td>Sydney Cricket Ground&nbsp;</td><td>12:30 pm Indian Standard Time&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Australia VS TBD&nbsp;</td><td>25 October&nbsp;</td><td>Optus Stadium&nbsp;</td><td>4:30 pm Indian Standard Time&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Australia VS England&nbsp;</td><td>28 October&nbsp;</td><td>Melbourne Cricket Ground&nbsp;</td><td>1:30 pm Indian Standard Time&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Australia VS TBD&nbsp;</td><td>31st October&nbsp;</td><td>SVG&nbsp;</td><td>1:30 pm Indian Standard Time&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Australia VS Afghanistan&nbsp;</td><td>4th November&nbsp;</td><td>MCG&nbsp;</td><td>1:30 pm Indian Standard Time&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Prediction:&nbsp;</h2>



The team will easily qualify for the semifinals and will finish second in its group behind England.&nbsp;

ICC T20 World Cup 2022: Australian Team Best SWOT Analysis, Squad, Predictions, Schedule. All You Need to Know.?

icc-t20-world-cup-2022-australian-team-best-swot-analysis-squad-predictions-schedule-all-you-need-to-know

The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 is around the corner. Many players are missing this tournament due to some injuries or niggles. The cricket community is awaiting this great tournament since the last year. The fact that a few greats of the game will miss this tournament is not easily digestible. We have Jonny Bairstow who misses out, Jasprit Bumrah who is likely ruled out, and Shaheen Afridi is not 100% fit too. So, who is the other player who can manage to make an impact in the absence of these players? &nbsp;



<h2>1) Arshdeep Singh Will Play for India at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/arshdeep-min.webp" alt="ICC T20 World Cup" class="wp-image-95157" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Punjab Kings</figcaption></figure>



Arshdeep Singh might be the one who replaces Jasprit Bumrah if he is out due to a back injury. Or even if Bumrah is present, Arshdeep may step in if Harshal Patel is having a tough time. In Bumrah?s absence, it is time for Arshdeep to put his hand up and show immense character. He does have the potential to get the job done and he needs to apply the same. Singh impressed in the 1st T20I against South Africa. He bothered the South Africans by sheer swing. He needs to replicate something similar at the death and make use of his wide yorkers. &nbsp;



<h2>2) Fazalhaq Farooqi Will Play for Afghanistan at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/Fazalhaq-Farooqi-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup" class="wp-image-95156" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Punjab Kings</figcaption></figure>



Fazalhaq Farooqi is the spearhead of the Afghanistan bowling. He is the first genuine fast bowler on the Afghan team. Farooqi was earlier associated as a net bowler for the Punjab Kings and the Chennai Super Kings before he got a full-time contract with the Sunrisers. He was elite in the Asia Cup. He bothered the left-handed batters with his outswing and for the right-handers, his angle itself was difficult to deal with. &nbsp;



<h2>3) Harry Brook:&nbsp;</h2>



Harry Brook will possibly find a place in the 11 as Jonny Bairstow is not there. So, Brook will get a good number of opportunities to impress. The race is between him and Ben Duckett. But Brook has been pretty consistent and deserves the place more. Harry Brook is a lesser-known prospect on the global stage the ICC T20 World Cup seems to be the right place for him to showcase what he has got. He also has a 360-degree game.&nbsp;



<h2>4) Naseem Shah will Play for Pakistan at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/Naseem-Shah-min-1024x569.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup" class="wp-image-95154" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Pakistan Cricket Board</figcaption></figure>



Shaheen is susceptible to injury and hence Naseem will have to shoulder some responsibility. Naseem Shah was a surprise call-up at the Asia Cup 2022 and he was worth the investment. He troubled Virat Kohli like no other bowler. His line and length are precise. At 19, Naseem already has 3 years of experience in top-flight cricket. Naseem will be rooting to get a chance at the ICC T20 World Cup. The race is between him, Shahnawaz Dahani, and Haris Rauf. Rauf is surely going to play. &nbsp;



<h2>5) Tim David:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/Tim-David-min-1024x664.jpg" alt="Tim David" class="wp-image-95155" /><figcaption>After making an impression in the IPL, it is time for international cricket. IMG SRC: TOI</figcaption></figure>



Tim David and Marcus Stonis have a competition for the finisher's role in the Australian team. But Tim David will be preferred if he remains fit. The reason is that the ACB went out of its way to get his nationality documents prepared at the earliest. So, as the old people say ?If you borrow a suit, you need to wear that suit.? Hence it is clear that David will be in the playing XI. Tim hasn?t left a lasting impression as such on the international cricket circuit. So, the ICC T20 World Cup is the ideal platform to do so. &nbsp;

ICC T20 World Cup 2022: 5 Players Who Can Make an Impression at the ICC T20 World Cup.?

icc-t20-world-cup-2022-5-players-who-can-make-an-impression-at-the-icc-t20-world-cup

The Mumbai Indians are the most successful team in the history of the TATA IPL. No other franchise has as many titles as the Mumbai Indians. They have a total of seven trophies to their name. 5 IPL titles and 2 Champions League T20 Titles. They have always had a great impact on players. Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, and Rohit Sharma are a few examples. So, who are the top 3 key players for the Mumbai Indians in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;



<h2>Tim David is a Key Player for the Mumbai Indians in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



Tim David and Cameron Green share the same weightage when it comes to ability and impact. Both the tall Australian blokes have amazing skill sets. Tim David especially is a range-hitting master. He has the ability to hit the ball a long way. &nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Tim-David-min-1024x664.jpg" alt="Mumbai Indians" class="wp-image-95155"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Mumbai Indians. They will bank on Tim David to finish games for them. </figcaption></figure>



He also gives the team 2 to 3 overs on a good day. His slow right arm delivers bother the batters a lot. Tim has been playing freelance T20 cricket for quite some time. His performance last season was great in the last few games that he got. The Mumbai Indians need to invest and bank on him, just like the Australian national team has done. Here is a look at his batting stats:&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>155&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Innings&nbsp;</td><td>145&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Runs&nbsp;</td><td>3313&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>32.33&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Strike Rates&nbsp;</td><td>162.7&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>6s/4s&nbsp;</td><td>198/237&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Kumar Kartikeya is a Key Player for the Mumbai Indians in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



The Mumbai Indians do not have any other seasoned spinner and hence the presence of Kumar Kartikeya becomes invaluable. He has been playing in the Indian domestic circuit. Kartikeya had a very impressive season last time around. He will be keen on carrying forward the same form. He has had a great domestic season too. He was second on the chart of highest wicket-takers in the SMAT 2021-2022. Kartikeya is a lesser-known face and hence the opposition tends to take him lightly. He can make use of this attribute of his. He has a cool set of variations that leave the batters perplexed.&nbsp;



<h2>Ishan Kishan is a Key Player:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Ishan-Kishan_11zon.jpg" alt="Mumbai Indians" class="wp-image-98588"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Business Today</figcaption></figure>



Ishan Kishan was bound to be on the list. Just to recall, Ishan Kishan is the most expensive Indian in an IPL auction. He had a decent season last time scoring 450 runs. But it was still an understatement considering the price tag associated with him and knowing that his potential is to do a lot more exploits. &nbsp;



Currently, he is having a tough time in T20I cricket for the Indian national team. But the champion player will make a comeback. Because that is exactly what champions do. Ishan has a great ability to deal with the short ball even though his height is not the talk of the town. His timing helps him guide the ball over the fence easily. Kishan?s strike rate becomes a point of concern at a time. &nbsp;

In the second Inning, Ravichandran Ashwin took two important wickets, first is of Cameron Green and second is of Ishan Kisan. Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma took one wicket each and had decent economy rates. RR bowlers lost control of the game in the middle overs when they failed to take the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who shows good intent, played a masterclass inning against Mumbai Indians and knocked his first century of IPL. Yashasvi has scored 124 runs with 16 fours and 8 sixes, and Jaiswal played good shots with proper control over these shots. 



Jos Buttler got out early by scoring 18 runs, whereas Skipper Sanju Samson scored 14 runs in 10 balls. Jason Holder also knocked 11 runs in 9 balls.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arshad and Piyush Bowled well:</h2>

(28 April) IPL Points Table 2024: Another run-fest, another thriller, and IPL 2024 keeps on delivering one after the other. Delhi Capitals defeated Mumbai Indians by 10 runs in the last-ball thriller. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are on the hunt for Gold as they registered their 8th win defeating LSG. Here we are with the latest updated IPL Points Table (Updated) After DC vs MI and LSG vs RR.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="lsg-vs-rr-match-summary">LSG vs RR Match Summary</h2>



Rajasthan Royals are in the form of their life as they have registered 8th win out of 9 matches they played in IPL 2024. They are the top contender for the title as they are just unbeatable.



Asked to bat first, LSG lost two wickets in the first two overs but a captain's knock by Rahul and a half-century from Deepak Hooda gave Lucknow stability in the middle. Cameos from Badoni and Krunal Pandya helped them to post 196 on the board.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/LSG-vs-RR-1024x683.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Points Table after LSG vs RR [April 28]: Team?s Standings after Lucknow Super Giants vs Rajasthan Royals" class="wp-image-133456" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



When started chasing, RR fully utilized the powerplay but lost Buttler and Jaiswal in quick successions that brought up Sanju and Riyan onto the crease. Skipper Sanju opened his arms and along with Dhruv Jurel, led RR to the 8th win and 4th win in a row. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="dc-vs-mi-match-summary">DC vs MI Match Summary</h2>



3rd home game in a row for Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium and each of the games have been a high-scoring contest. Not just one side, but both sides have amassed ample runs when batted, and batting first has been the key.



Batting first, Delhi Capitals were on fire and Mumbai Indian batters were taken on remand. Fraser-McGurk was unbelievable as his bashing in the first five put Delhi on 89 in the first 5 overs. He and Abhishek Porel added 114 runs in the first 7.3 overs when Chawla dismissed McGurk at 84 off just 27 balls.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/GRUK.jpg" alt="IPL Points Table (Updated) After DC vs MI" class="wp-image-133444" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">McGurk gave Delhi a Flying Start (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



Delhi were at 128 after 10 overs and every batter that was coming out was expressing the mindset of attack, attack, and attack. Shai Hope added 41 runs with a strike rate of 241 and Stubbs smacked 48 runs off 25 runs. All that smashing led DC to a mammoth 257 runs after 20 overs.



Chasing the Target, MI needed a flying start and the top order of MI provided it. MI were 65 after the batting powerplay but it cost them three wickets which was never helping when you are chasing over 250. However, fans witnessed the vintage Hardik Pandya hitting in the middle who scored 46 runs in 24 balls. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/tim-and-verna.jpg" alt="IPL Points Table (Updated) After DC vs MI, Delhi Capitals defeated Mumbai Indians in The Last Ball Thriller" class="wp-image-133450" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Tilak and Tim gave it all in the chase but couldn't thrive (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



Tilak Verma was settled at the other end and quietly crossed his 50 on just 25 balls and he with Tim David in the last 5 overs were truly remarkable. Verma's 63 off 32 balls and David's 37 off just 17 balls took Mumbai close to the target but Delhi Capitals were good in the last 2 overs restricting to 247 runs. 



Delhi Capitals won the match by 10 runs and below is the IPL Points Table Updated after DC vs MI:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ipl-points-table-updated-after-dc-vs-mi"><a href="https://www.iplt20.com/stats/2024">IPL</a> Points Table Updated After DC vs MI</h2>



Delhi Capitals are the first to play 10 matches and they have won 5 out of those. The Capitals had a mediocre start to the tournament but now they have planted their foot. They are now 5th ranked team in the IPL Points Table above Chennai Super Kings who have played 8 matches and have won 4.

IPL Points Table (Updated) On 28 April, RR Bossed LSG, DC defeated MI in The Last Ball Thriller

ipl-points-table-updated-on-28-april-rr-bossed-lsg-dc-defeated-mi-in-the-last-ball-thriller

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c5c9db6f5.jpg" alt="">
Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

Prithvi Shaw Can Might Have Chance To Play IPL this Year ? | TATA IPL 2025

Prithvi Shaw After a successful start of his career getting set back and set back ,but the things is not over yet , Prithvi can be have to focus his fitness,the improved fitness can solve many things for him.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
