Despite a valiant effort from the Carrebian skipper of 75 not out, Neesham?s 48 unbeaten powered New Zealand to a comfortable win over visitors by 5 wickets. New Zealand greeted the comeback of International Cricket with a commendable win over West Indies in the 1st Twenty20 match of the three-match series.



After a bit of interruption in the game by rain, the game was reduced to 16 overs per side. New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl first, keeping rain and run rate in mind.



<h2>West Indies inning:</h2>



The West Indies openers Andre Fletcher and Brandon King gave a solid start, both the openers plundered 55 runs in just opening three overs. While Kiwis staged a remarkable comeback after a poor beginning to the game.



Lokie Ferguson and Tim Southee started to damage the Carrebian batting. The visitors were reduced from 58 for no loss to 59-5 in quick succession.&nbsp;



However, the skipper was determined enough to control the game from one end. Pollard smacked the bowlers all over the ground and added 75 runs in 37 deliveries. The fast innings of pollard include 8 towering sixes and 4 boundaries.

After 16 overs West Indies managed to put a massive total of 180-7. Pollard, Fletcher and Fabian Allen added 75, 34 and 30 respectively to the total.



Lokie Ferguson picked 5 scalps while skipper Southee got two to his bag.



<h2>New Zealand:</h2>



In response to a mammoth total, New Zealand had a tiring start with openers going back inside 4 overs.



The debutant Devon Conway took the charge along with Gleen Phillips who smashed 22 runs in 7 balls with a strike rate of 314.&nbsp;



James Neesham and Devon Conway stitched a good partnership of 80 runs to power the Kiwis close to that total.&nbsp;



However, Devon Conway departed after a memorable inning of 41 runs in 12th overs. Mitchell Santner forged important runs with Neesham guiding them to a five-wicket victory with four balls to spare.

Lokie Ferguson(4 overs- 21 runs- 5 wickets) got the Man of the Match for his five-wicket haul.



?It was a topsy-turvy game, a bit of indisciplined shown by us by the bowling side of things. We got off to a very good start, 50-odd in three overs but losing 5 wickets after that set us back,? Kieron Pollard, West Indies Skipper.

Vivo IPL 2021: The two times IPL champions, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have signed New Zealand pacer Tim Southee for the remaining 31 matches of the Vivo IPL 2021. The franchise officials confirmed the development on Thursday, 26th August.



Southee will replace ace Australian pacer Pat Cummins in the KKR squad who had earlier pulled back from participating in the second phase of the IPL 2021. Cummins and his wife are expecting their first child during the IPL.



The New Zealand pacer has been a consistent name in the IPL for straight-six seasons, however, went unsold in the IPL 2020 auctions. His recent trade happens to be with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2019 where he bowled with an economy of 13 in three matches.

</div></figure>



New Zealand pacer Tim Southee to join KKR for the remainder of Vivo IPL 2021.



Southee, besides RCB, has played his trade for Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The pacer has scalped 28 wickets in 40 matches at an economy of 8.47.



"Tim has been a strong player and has been the spearhead of the New Zealand team. In the UAE conditions, we hope he will be very effective," a KKR official said.



Tim's exact contract value is not known as of now. Pat Cummins was signed by KKR for a whopping INR 15.5 crores in the IPL 2020 auctions and was retained in the IPL 2021.



The Shahrukh Khan owned KKR had a terrible and forgetful outing in the first phase of the IPL 2021. The team only managed to win two matches out of seven they played. KKR is placed in the penultimate position in the points table.

R Ashwin vs Eoin Morgan Controversy Explained.



The matches of the Vivo IPL 2021 are going to the nail bitter finishes as the tournament is progressing towards its playoffs. The nerves and tempers of the players are getting high as the clashes are getting more intense. One such incident happened on September 28 during the match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders.



The clash of the two teams witnessed the heated altercations amongst Tim Southee, Eoin Morgan and R Ashwin. It was 19th over which took all these aforementioned players against each other in a verbal spat.



In the final delivery of the 19th over, Ravichandran Ashwin and Rishabh Pant stole a second run after the ball from the fielder hit the Pant and went away from the fielders making it easy for the two batters to take a run. However, the act of the two batters stealing a second run didn?t go well with the fielding team as Eoin Morgan and Co seemed to be irked with that very incident.



In the first delivery of 20th over, Tim Southee sent back R Ashwin after he was caught at deep square leg by Nitish Rana. Southee initiated the word exchange as Ashwin was walking back and he was accompanied by his skipper Eoin Morgan.



The senior Indian spinner R Ashwin stood for himself and gave it back to the two opponent cricketers as the three had heated arguments where wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik became the peacekeeper.&nbsp;



As everything seemed to have calmed down, the English white-ball skipper, Eoin Morgan, nailed down and called the incident, ?disgraceful,? and against the ?Spirit of Cricket.?

Ashwin also replied and explained the situation through a series of tweets, he said: ?I turned to run the moment I saw the fielder throw and dint know the ball had hit Rishabh. Will I run if I see it!? Of course, I will and I am allowed to. Am I a disgrace like Morgan said I was? Of course NOT.?



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ashwinravi99/status/1443461524778012673
</div></figure>



?Did I fight? No, I stood up for myself and that?s what my teachers and parents taught me to do and pls teach your children to stand up for themselves. In Morgan or Southee?s world of cricket, they can choose and stick to what they believe is right or wrong but do not have the right to take a moral high ground and use words that are derogatory. What?s even more surprising is the fact that people are discussing this and also trying to talk about who is the good and bad person here,? Ashwin added in his tweet.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ashwinravi99/status/1443461534093561856
</div></figure>



?There are millions of cricketers with several thought processes that play this great game to make it their careers, teach them that an extra run taken due to a poor throw aimed to get you out can make your career and an extra yard stolen by the non-striker can break your career.?



?Do not confuse them by telling them that you will be termed a good person if you refuse the run or warn the non-striker, because all these people who are terming you good or bad have already made a living or they are doing what it takes to be successful elsewhere. Give your heart and soul on the field and play within the rules of the game and shake your hands once the game is over. The above is the only ?spirit of the game? I understand.?



<h2>Former Cricketer's take on the controversy:</h2>



Even after a day, the controversy refused to die down as a few cricket experts and former cricketers expressed their opinions.&nbsp;



Shane Warne has supported the English skipper and reckoned that Morgan has every right to nail Ashwin.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ShaneWarne/status/1443104312297656321
</div></figure>



?The world shouldn?t be divided on this topic and Ashwin. It?s pretty simple ? it?s disgraceful &amp; should never happen. Why does Ashwin have to be that guy again? I think @Eoin16 had every right to nail him !!!!,? wrote Shane Warne in his tweet.



The Australian media went a step ahead after Shane Warne?s tweet. Fox Cricket, a TV channel from Australia, went with the headline which read: ?Disgraceful?: Warne furious as India villain breaks spirit of cricket again in fiery clash.?



Virendra Sehwag has extended his support towards R Ashwin and recalled the moment when the ball hit Ben Stokes?s bat and went for a boundary during the final of the ICC ODI World Cup 2019 against New Zealand.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/virendersehwag/status/1443171103573118979
</div></figure>



?On July 14th , 2019 when it ricocheted of Ben Stokes bat in the final over, Mr Morgan sat on a Dharna outside Lord?s and refused to hold the World cup trophy and New Zealand won. Haina ? Bade aaye, ?doesn?t appreciate? waale,? wrote Virendra Sehwag.

5 Big Players who might go Unsold in the IPL 2022 Mega Auctions.



IPL 2022 Mega Auction: The upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 Mega Auction has already picked up the limelight after the two new IPL franchise has moved out in search of a strong support staff team. The gala Indian T20 tournament has been a festival for the fans and the other involved parties. With two new teams getting added, the league has become even more engaging for its viewers.&nbsp;



The BCCI has already started the retention process for the existing eight teams. They are allowed to retain four players and the retention process will run until the month-end (November). Following the retention of the existing eight teams, the two new added franchises will be given time to pick three players outside the IPL 2022 Mega Auction following which the IPL 2022 Mega Auction will be conducted.



With the franchise signing a three-year contract with most of the players, they will be actively looking for the young blood instead of the players who are on the wrong side of their 30s. However, this decision might not go well with a few players who have been constantly featuring in the IPL and now they can suddenly lose their place in the team either due to their age or performance.



This very article will target the 5 big players who might go unsold in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 Mega Auctions.



<h2>5 Big Players who might go UNSOLD in the IPL 2022 Mega Auctions:</h2>



<h3>Tim Southee:</h3>

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) roped in kiwi senior pacer Tim Southee as a replacement for unavailable Pat Cummins for the Indian Premier League (IPL) second leg in UAE. Southee, though, has a fantastic international record for New Zealand in T20Is, his outing in the IPL 2021 remained modest.&nbsp;



In spite of having several years of experience under his belt, Southee looked innocuous to the opposition. In the 3 matches he played during the second leg of IPL 2021, Southee managed just 3 wickets after conceding 95 runs in total.



The seasoned kiwi pacer is likely to get unsold in the upcoming IPL 2022 Mega Auction.

<h3>Chris Gayle:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/10/Chris-Gayle.jpg" alt="Chris Gayle" class="wp-image-74400" /><figcaption>Chris Gayle</figcaption></figure>



The West Indies T20 legend, Chris Gayle, recently announced his semi-retirement plan and is soon to wave his goodbye to the field of cricket in the international circuit. The ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 is his last assignment as a player of West Indies in international cricket.



Chris Gayle?s batting prowess is second to none in the shortest format. Time and again he has proved his worth in the format and his stats clearly advocate for his role. Having scored a mammoth 14,321 runs alone in the T20 format shows nothing but just his brilliance and dominance in the format. He even has the most number of tons (22) under his belt in the T20 franchise cricket.



However, the recent few years have not been memorable for the ?Universe Boss?. If his IPL 2021 and T20 World Cup 2021 performances are analysed, he has only managed to score 193 from 10 innings in the IPL 2021 and a scanty 45 runs from 5 T20 World Cup 2021 innings.



With the franchises essentially looking for the youngsters, Chris Gayle is too old to fit into the criteria and play consistent and good cricket for the straight three years. The Universe Boss may get unsold in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



<h3>Harbhajan Singh:</h3>

Seasoned Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh is also likely to go unsold in the coming auctions. Singh has played a vital role in several famous Indian wins in the past, however, his international career is approaching the end with age. He has not been active in international cricket for the last couple of years and his involvement in the IPL matches has been minimised, of late.



He just played three matches for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) during the early phase of IPL 2021 but was soon sidelined owing to poor performances. In the three games he played for KKR in IPL 2021, he was inefficient, to say the least, in picking up a single wicket.



<h3>Ajinkya Rahane:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/11/Ajinkya-Rahane-1.jpg" alt="Ajinkya Rahane (5 Big Players who might go unsold in the IPL 2022 Mega Auctions)" class="wp-image-80345" /><figcaption>Image: BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



Indian test vice-captain, Ajinkya Rahane, has seen a dip in his white-ball performances in recent years. He has not been involved in India?s either white-ball squad of India for a couple of years now. His recent IPL performances are not encouraging either.



Rahane hasn't got many opportunities in Delhi Capitals (DC) in the last two IPL seasons. He just amassed 113 runs in nine IPL 2020 innings with a mere one-half century. In the last IPL season, Rahane was sidelined on most of the occasions, he featured in two matches and scored mere eight runs from it.



Analysing his inactiveness in the international white-ball circuit and his recent IPL performances, it won?t be surprising if he goes unsold in the coming IPL auction.



<h3>Eoin Morgan:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/10/Eoin-Morgan-KKR.jpg" alt="Eoin Morgan" class="wp-image-74740" /><figcaption>Eoin Morgan</figcaption></figure>



The English white-ball skipper Eoin Morgan faced a social media outrage during the IPL 2021. Though he took his side to the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season fourteen, his bat remained quiet until the end of the tournament.



Morgan was apt with his decision making on and off the field and owing to which his team made a complete turnaround to reach the final. However, his stylish bat hasn?t impressed anyone. The southpaw was finding it difficult to regain his lost form in the IPL 2021 and totalled just 133 runs from 17 matches.



It is interesting to note, Morgan returned back to his form and was amongst runs as soon as he donned England's T20 World Cup jersey.



Captain Morgan is highly unlikely to get an IPL contract in the coming season. If he needs one, he will have to prove his worth, firing hard with his blade.
