IPL 2022: 3 Players on which Mumbai Indians might use Right To Match (RTM) card in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



IPL 2022: The defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) has a flair of picking up good players in the Auction. Their auction strategies are one of the best in the IPL when it comes to picking players and retaining them. They have filled match winners at every slot in the playing11.



Mumbai Indians (MI) will have to do a lot of homework for the Auction as they will have to leave out multiple match-winners to the auction table in the coming IPL 2022. It will be a real tough task for the franchise to retain players as each one of them are complete match winners.



We have already talked about the players Mumbai Indians might retain ahead of the IPL 2022 Auction now it's the time for the players on whom MI might use the Right To Match card.

<h2>3 Players on which Mumbai Indians might use Right To Match (RTM):</h2>



<h3>Hardik Pandya:</h3>



The Indian dashing all-rounder will certainly be one of the key players on whom MI will use the RTM card in the IPL 2022 Auction. Although, IPL 2021 was not his year as he failed to contribute with both bat and ball however the franchise understands his capabilities.



If by any chance, Hardik goes to the IPL auction, he can surely shatter all the previous records and create one of his own. He is a brutal player, he can turn the game on the given day. With his added bowling skills which he has improved a lot, he becomes an even more lethal weapon for the team.



<h3>Suryakumar Yadav:</h3>



As said earlier, the Mumbai Indians will have to do a lot of brainstorming before heading out to the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. Every player in the list has all the qualities to get retained but due to the rules of the IPL, MI will have to get satisfied with something less.



Suryakumar Yadav is just another example of Mumbai Indians (MI) brilliant auction strategy. The franchise brought him from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) back in 2018 and since then he is a regular player for MI and a consistent performer. He has amassed over 400 runs in each IPL season for MI since 2018.



<h3>Trent Boult:</h3>



The Kiwi pacer will be another option ahead of Mumbai Indians (MI) to use the Right To Match (RTM) card. He was exceptional in the IPL 2020 after Mumbai traded him from Delhi Capitals (DC). He picked up 25 wickets in IPL 2020 and was the third-highest wicket-taker.



His abilities to swing upfront gives him an extra edge over other pacers in the squad. He was quite successful this year in death also. In IPL 2021, most of his wickets came in the death overs.&nbsp;



The pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult has won many games for MI and the franchise will want that pair to continue.

Vivo IPL 2021: Trent Boult wants to finish the IPL 2021 campaign for MI if he gets a chance.



Vivo IPL 2021: New Zealand and Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer has said that he would love to complete the Vivo IPL 2021 campaign for his IPL franchise which is scheduled to take place in UAE.



The BCCI has earlier released that the remaining 31 assignments of the Vivo IPL 2021 will be held in the UAE in the window of September-October.



Trent Boult is surely enjoying his time in the IPL, especially after coming to the Mumbai Indians (MI). He has expressed his excitement to play the lucrative league if he gets a chance for that.



?It?s (India) is a beautiful place to go, I obviously have experienced India a lot, the fans and culture too but it was different this time, obviously very quiet, the usual hum around the streets, the fans were just not there,? Pacer Boult said in the virtual press conference.

"It was differently different to play half of the tournament. Looks like it's moving forward to the UAE, it was held very nicely last year there. If I?ll get a chacen I?ll be looking forward to finishing the campaign off myself,? he added.



Boult, who scalped eight wickets for Mumbai Indians (MI) feels that the situation escalated pretty quickly in the span of just a month. He also said that he felt lucky to play the IPl 2021 before it was abruptly suspended.



"I suppose things obviously escalated pretty quickly over there. I made the decision to come home and get a bit of time with my family.?



"Very grateful in the first place to be involved in the IPL to get an opportunity to play on that stage. What happened was very unfortunate and I am glad that I came out safely and can move forward now.?



The availability of overseas players will be a big question for the BCCI. The board is initiating talks with other cricket boards to seek their stance on this issue.



The final call regarding the overseas players will be taken in July weather they need any replacement or can go ahead as planned.

IPL Live: Predicting top 4 bowlers with most wickets at the end of IPL 2021.



IPL Live: It?s been over one and a half months since the Vivo IPL 2021 got suspended after a couple of covid cases emerged inside the biosecure bubbles. The fans have been early waiting for the resumption of the lucrative league and enjoy the action live with their favourite cricket stars.



The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after their Special General Meeting (SGM) on 29th May disclosed that the remaining 31 games of the suspended Vivo IPL 2021 will be held in the UAE, just like last year?s IPL.



The Indian cash-rich league was the main source of distraction for the fans across the world amid these dire times and were really enjoying it as it helped them to overcome the excessive stress caused by the pandemic since the beginning of 2020.



The first half of the tournament was a complete thriller as it was held in India at different venues. Starting with low scoring games in Chennai to subsequently shifting it to high scoring venues like Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad etc, the IPL 2021 gave some moments of joy.



The cricketers gave their all efforts to the game to make it even more interesting, bowlers picked up wickets and shattered previous records while batters did not lack in smacking the loose balls over the fence.



Here in this article, we will predict top 4 bowlers who will probably emerge as the highest wicket takers at the end of the Vivo IPL 2021.



<h2>IPL Live: Predicting top?4 bowlers with most wickets at the end of IPL 2021:</h2>



<h3>4. Trent Boult (Mumbai Indians):</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/06/Trent-Boult.jpg" alt="Trent Boult MI" class="wp-image-65086" /><figcaption>Trent Boult MI</figcaption></figure>



Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer Trent Boult is on the list for all the right reasons. Boult has all the experience which he needs in this format and is well known for his brilliance in the UAE last year.



The kiwi pacer didn't have a fruitful IPL outing in the first half of 2021 as he managed to pick only 8 wickets in the first seven games, however, his experience and calibre can anytime leave the stats behind.



His previous outing in the UAE kept him ahead of the batters as he clipped off 25 wickets in 15 games and was also the third highest wicket taker.

<h3>3. Avesh Khan (Delhi Capitals):</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/06/Avesh-Khan.jpg" alt="Avesh Khan Delhi Capitals" class="wp-image-64868" /><figcaption>Avesh Khan DC</figcaption></figure>



Avesh Khan made his T20 debut back in 2017 for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) but did not get enough opportunity to perform. In his debut game, he picked one wicket and was instantly dropped from the squad.



Since 2018, Avesh Khan has been associated with Delhi based IPL franchise and has been consistently retained by them. His past IPL stats didn't go well with his current IPL stats and was not given enough opportunity.



In 2021, in the absence of Anrich Nortje in the first couple of games, Delhi Capitals picked him up for the final 11 and he stole all the limelight with his pace.



In the 8 games of the Vivo IPL 2021, Khan picked up 14 wickets at an economy of 7.70. 



The surface in the UAE will definitely suit his style of bowling and will bring out a positive results for his team.







<h3>2. Rashid Khan (Sunrisers Hyderabad):</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/04/EymAK0VU4AAXHgu-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2022: 3 Players Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might retain ahead of IPL 2022 Mega Auction" class="wp-image-41413" /><figcaption>Rashid Khan SRH</figcaption></figure>



Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan is an all-time favourite in the T20 bowler's rankings. He is extremely skilful, especially in the shortest format of cricket and knows how to deliver for his team.



His consistent run in the shortest format has lifted him to number two of the ICC T20Is bowlers ranking. 



Having played all the major cricket leagues across the world, Khan knows how to deceive the batter who always tries to smash the bowlers over the fence.



In the recent Vivo IPL 2021, he scalped 10 wickets in seven appearances and remained economical (6.14).&nbsp;



Talking about his IPL 2020 stats in the UAE, Rashid Khan shattered 20 wickets in 16 games for SRH and was also the leading wicket taker for his team.







<h3>1. Harshal Patel (Royal Challengers Bangalore):</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/04/Harshal-Patel.jpg" alt="IPL 2022: 3 Players on whom Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might use the Right To Match Card (RTM) in IPL 2022 Mega Auction" class="wp-image-60566" /><figcaption>Harshal Patel RCB</figcaption></figure>



The new RCB pace gun, Harshal Patel grabbed all the headlines after he managed to pick his maiden fifer against Mumbai Indians (MI). With his heroics in the first game of the season, Patel became the first bowler to pick five wickets against Mumbai Indians (MI).



Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) traded him from Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the Vivo IPL 2021 auctions in an all-cash deal and it turned out to be a golden move for the franchise.



Patel got the opportunity in the very first game for RCB, and proved his mettle. He remained consistent and picked most of his wickets at the death.



Although he was a bit expensive and was also taken for 37 runs in an over by Ravindra Jadeja, Harshal Patel is a brilliant and skilful pacer with all the weapons in his arsenal.



In the seven games of the Vivo IPL 2021, he clipped off 17 wickets and is leading the wicket takers chart.

IPL 2022: Top 5 Most Expensive Cricketers of the IPL 2022 (Predicted).



Top 5 Most Expensive Cricketers of IPL 2022: Even before the wrap of the IPL 2021, which is scheduled in the UAE, the fans and supporters have started having discussions about the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The IPL 2022 will be huge in many ways as several changes will be brought up by the officials to make the competition even more interesting and engaging.



As informed earlier, the Indian cricket board is convinced to induct two new franchises in the IPL 2022 to make the tournament a ten teams affair.



With the addition of the new franchises, the mega auction is synonymous and the shuffling of players will bring franchises to the forefront to break their banks and indulge in massive bidding wars.



Moreover, the total purse value for each franchise has been increased to INR 90 Crores, which will be spent by the teams on the purchase of cricketers in the auctions.



The existing franchisees will be entitled to a benefit of retaining four players before the mega auction 2022 either in the format of three Indian and one overseas or two Indian and as many overseas cricketers.



Apart from these retained cricketers, others will go under the hammer and a couple of them will fetch millions by putting teams into bidding wars.



In this article, we will take a look at the top 5 cricketers who fetch massive amounts for their services in the IPL 2022.



<h2>IPL 2022: Top 5 Most Expensive Cricketers of the IPL 2022 (Predicted):&nbsp;</h2>



<h3>5. Trent Boult:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/06/Trent-Boult.jpg" alt="Trent Boult" class="wp-image-65086" /></figure>



The kiwi and Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer is likely to initiate a bidding war amongst the franchises in the upcoming IPL 2022 mega auctions. The New Zealand pacer has done all the things right to attract a good deal for himself in the upcoming times.



Playing for Mumbai Indians (MI), Boult has turned the tables multiple times and won matches. He was sensational in IPL 2020 with over 25 wickets in a season for MI and in the first half of the IPL 2021, the pacer has proved his mettle.



MI traded Boult from Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the IPL 2020 for INR 3.2 Crores. The pacer has justified his price tag and is likely to go beyond this in the coming years.



IPL 2022: Top 5 Most Expensive Cricketers of the IPL 2022 (Predicted)







<h3>4. Glenn Maxwell:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/04/Glenn-Maxwell-RCB-1.jpg" alt="Glenn Maxwell " class="wp-image-50162" /></figure>



This name needs no introduction in the shortest format of cricket. The Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is surely going to go bonkers ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auctions.



Although his previous IPL seasons didn't go well and that has raised some questions, his IPL 2021 assignment with RCB has been tremendous. Maxwell has taken up the role alongside Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers quite nicely and justifying his price tag.



The all-rounder has amassed 223 runs in seven games and six innings for RCB in the first half of the IPL 2021. He scored these runs with a strike rate of over 140.



Once Maxwell gets settled in the crease, there is no way for the opposition to stop him. He has shown that in the past in international cricket for Australia and a little glimpse of that has been shown in the IPL 2021.







<h3>3. Moeen Ali:</h3>



The English all-rounder Moeen Ali was at his dream run in phase one of the IPL 2021, which got suspended midway due to the covid pandemic. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would be really satisfied with what they paid to Moeen Ali and what the cricketer has offered.



The all-rounder was bought by CSK in IPL 2021 auctions for INR 7 Crores after RCB dropped him from the lineup.&nbsp;



Ali was promoted to bat at number three for CSK and was given a licence to do what he does in slog overs. Not only did he manage to take on the opposition in the early overs but also provided resistance to the team due to early breakthroughs.



Moeen Ali plundered 206 runs in six matches for CSK, striking over 155.



Due to his shiny performance in the first half of the IPL 2021, the franchises with a weak top order or franchises that want to bolster their lower order can pick the services of Moeen Ali in mega auction 2022.

<h3>2. Suryakumar Yadav:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/01/suryakumar-yadav-ipl-2018_806x605_81525456938.jpg" alt="Suryakumar Yadav " class="wp-image-28603" /></figure>



With the rules getting a little tweaked in terms of retention, Mumbai Indians (MI) is certain to lose their premier top-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav in the IPL 2022.



MI will have the obvious choice to retain Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard in the IPL 2021 mega auction to retain which means Suryakumar Yadav will be left out from the side.



However, this does not mean that the franchise will not be able to purchase him back.



Suryakumar Yadav has been in the top brackets of run-scorers in the past couple of years. He has been the top performer for his franchise and is quite successful in the top order.



His quality services have proven to be a game-changer for Mumbai and the other franchises would also want to take his services in the upcoming seasons.



The cricketer has scored over 400 runs in each season he played for Mumbai Indians.



Owing to his brilliant batting skills, the franchises are surely going to push their limits to a whole new level to acquire the services of Suryakumar Yadav in the IPL 2022 Mega auctions.



<h3>IPL 2022: Top 5 Most Expensive Cricketers of the IPL 2022 (Predicted):?</h3>







<h3>1. Prithvi Shaw:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/04/Prithvi-Shaw-DC.jpg" alt="Prithvi Shaw" class="wp-image-62364" /></figure>



The Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Prithvi Shaw has proved his mettle over and over again in the last couple of years. The opener has been quite successful in recent times and is a bright future prospect.



Just like Mumbai Indians (MI), the retention limitations of Delhi Capitals (DC) will force the franchise to leave the player out in the auction table.



It will require one hell of a fight to acquire back the services of Prithvi Shaw unless you do not open millions.



Shaw after getting dropped from the Indian test team last year made an impactful comeback in the IPL 2021 with some blistering starts along with his DC partner Shikhar Dhawan.



The opener 308 runs in eight matches at a strike rate of 166.48.

Vivo IPL 2021: The persisting confusion amongst the IPL franchises officials regarding the availability of their overseas cricketers have begun to settle down as New Zealand chief David White has confirmed the presence of kiwi stars in the upcoming IPL 2021.



The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials are in constant touch with their overs counterparts to put the curtain on all the jeopardy revolving around overseas cricketers and their presence in the second phase of the IPL 2021. Its been more than a month since the talks were initiated by the BCCI and the first positive outcome can be clearly seen.



The series of doubts with Kiwi cricketers expanded after Pakistan?s demand of two additional T20I matches with the New Zealand Men?s team before the T20 World Cup 2021. Although New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has not shown any disagreement regarding Pakistan?s demand, David White confirmed that their players will feature in IPL instead of the Pakistan series.



?New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, James Neesham, and Lockie Ferguson will feature in the second phase of the IPL 2021 in the UAE,? said David White, New Zealand Cricket Chief.

Kiwi players have a great influence on the IPL and have been part of the league for the longest time. Players like Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, James Neesham, Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson have been consistent faces in the cash-rich Indian league.



Mumbai Indians (MI) will breathe a sigh of relief after the news as they heavily depend on Trent Boult and his services. Apart from him James Neesham and Adam Milne are also the part of Mumbai squad.



?We are much relieved now. BCCI are in talks with English and Australian boards to come to a consensus regarding this. Given April and May are earmarked for the IPL, they are right to raise their own objections, but we are now confirmed to witness New Zealand players in action,? one of the franchise officials told Cricket.com last month after hearing the rumours.

The franchise shared the news with the fans by posting a social media post of the kiwi duo.

The Kiwi pacer Trent Boult has done a tremendous job for Mumbai Indians. The pacer was drafted into the squad in a trade from Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2020 and it turned out to be a game-changing move for the five times title-winning team.?



The left-arm speedster scalped 25 wickets in the last IPL edition in the UAE and has picked up eight wickets in the current IPL 2021, having played seven matches.



Shane Bond has spent quality time with the most successful IPL franchise. He was roped in by MI back in 2015 as a bowling coach and since then the franchise has won four IPL titles.

Rohit Sharma and Co. had a mixed first half of the fourteenth edition of the IPL. The franchise managed to win four matches in seven games and are placed fourth in the points table with eight points.&nbsp;



Most of the matches Mumbai played were in Chennai which was a tricky surface to be at. No assistance to the batter and the complete domination from the bowlers was witnessed. The upcoming matches will be crucial for the defending champions as they look to make it three in a row.

3 Pacers SRH can target in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction: The IPL fever has begun in India with the IPL 2022 Mega Auction just a month away. As per the recent development, the IPL 2022 Mega Auction will be held on 12 and 13th February in Bangalore.



Ahead of the mega auction, the franchises will work on their plans and strategies for the purchase of the players. It will be interesting to see the reshuffling of the players, but before that, we have brought to you the article on the top 3 Pacers SRH can target in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have roped in former South African pacer Dale Steyn as their new bowling coach. Steyn has previously played for SRH and now will work closely to guide the bowlers, pacers predominantly in the team.



Besides SRH, Dale Steyn has also represented Deccan Chargers, Gujarat Lions and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The pacer during his time scalped as many as 97 IPL wickets in 95 appearances.



In this article, we will take a look at the top 3 pacers SRH can target in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



<h2>3 Pacers SRH can target in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction:</h2>



<h3>Trent Boult:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/06/Trent-Boult.jpg" alt="IPL Live: Predicting top 4 bowlers with most wickets at the end of IPL 2021" class="wp-image-65086" /><figcaption>Image: IPL
</figcaption></figure>



Most of us might remember Trent Boult as the premier pacer of IPL franchise Mumbai Indians (MI). However, it is interesting to note that Boult played two IPL seasons for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as well, in the past.



Interestingly, Dale Steyn and Trent Boult were teammates in SRH during IPL 2015. The two have worked in tandem for the franchise and knows each other pretty well.



Moreover, Trent Boult was released by Mumbai Indians (MI) during the IPL 2022 Player retention process.&nbsp;



New Zealand quick bowler, Trent Boult, has been in a prime form in the last few years. He bowled sensational ever since he was traded to Mumbai Indians (MI). He played a key role in Mumbai's success in the IPL 2020 in the UAE.



It has been seen that Dale Steyn has often praised kiwi pacer, Trent Boult, for his good bowling upfront. He was also seen lauding the kiwi pacer during the previous season and might be keen on having Trent Boult in the SRH squad.

<h3>Bhuvneshwar Kumar:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/10/Bhuvneshwar-Kumar-SRH.jpg" alt="Vivo IPL 2021: Bhuvneshwar Kumar is not 100 per cent fit in the IPL, says Sanjay Manjrekar" class="wp-image-75273" /></figure>



The third pacer that comes to the list is Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) hasn?t retained the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the coming auction, however, the franchise might try to get him from the auction table at the lower price.



Though in recent times, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has struggled to find his rhythm back, however, he still is a lethal white-ball bowler. He has the canny ability to bowl the toughest overs and has been successful in it in the past.



There is the possibility of Bhuvneshwar Kumar returning back to SRH in the IPL 2022.



<h3>Kagiso Rabada:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/12/Kagiso-Rabada-1.jpg" alt="In this article, we will take a look at the top 3 pacers SRH can target in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. Sunrisers Hyderabad have roped in...." class="wp-image-82227" /><figcaption>Image: BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



Delhi Capitals (DC) haven?t retained the likes of Kagiso Rabada for the upcoming season of the IPL. The franchise rather went ahead with Anrich Nortje as their premier fast bowling option. Having been released by DC, Rabada?s services will be up for grabs during the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



Rabada was the leading wicket-taker in IPL 2020 and won the purple cap for DC. He is quite experienced and comfortable bowling in subcontinents.?



26-years old Kagiso Rabada has exceptional bowling skills. He can hit the deck hard and fetch a good pace and bounce from it. He can swing the ball upfront and can deliver pinpoint yorkers. Moreover, his death bowling has been a significant weapon for him over the years.



Don't be surprised if Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pays a mammoth sum to get honoured class services of the South African pacer Kagiso Rabada in the fifteenth edition of the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL).

India captain Jasprit Bumrah has come under massive scanner for his antics during the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The match between the teams is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. 
In what has been a shocking development, India captain Jasprit Bumrah has been accused of using sandpaper during the ongoing match. Some of the Australian fans, as well as the media personnel, have charged the fast bowler with the allegations, and it has become a massive controversy. 
In a video that has gone viral on the internet, the sandpaper-like thing can be seen around Jasprit Bumrah. The India fast bowler can be seen getting troubled by something in their shoe, and as he decided to check upon that, there seemed to be a sandpaper-like thing. 
As Jasprit Bumrah removed his shoes, the sandpaper-like thing dropped out, and the fast bowler took that out and kept that in his hand. Since the video has gone viral, there has been a lot of buzz around social media, but so far, nothing official has come out from either of the teams or the match officials. 
Jasprit Bumrah has been the hot soup in the Indian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler is single-handedly carrying the bowling lineup of the team in the ongoing series and is making sure that he helps his team fight hard in the five-match Test series. 
Jasprit Bumrah has been on fire with the ball in the ongoing game as well but he has found himself under some discomfort. The pacer felt back spasm during the second session and was seen leaving the Sydney Cricket Ground and going for the scans in the car. 
There is no clarity if Jasprit Bumrah will be taking over the charge of the team tomorrow or not. The fast bowler's availability will depend on how he feels on a Sunday morning. Although he might come to bat, there is no clarity if the pacer will come to bowl or not. 
Bumrah so far has taken 32 wickets for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The tally of 32 wickets is the most by an Indian bowler in Australia in the history of Test cricket.

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah gave heartache to the Indian fans after the pacer got injured during day two of the ongoing fifth Test against Australia. The match is keeping everyone excted at SCG and is heading towards the exciting finish.
Jasprit Bumrah didn't look in great shape during day two of the ongoing game. After removing Usman Khawaja on the last ball of the match on Day one, it was expected that he would set the stage on fire. But the India captain ended up getting injured in the second match of the day. 
Jasprit Bumrah took India's team off to a flying start with the ball on day two as he removed Marnus Labuschagne. But after that, ahead of the lunch break, he was off the field for around 30 minutes. It raised a lot of eyebrows with the captain not being on the field. But the pacer returned to the field in the second session. 
Jasprit Bumrah bowled one over in the second innings but what was noticeable was he was down with his speed. He was bowling at 120 kmph but went after the field after that. He wasn't in the whites but was in the training kit and it raised a lot of concerns about his fitness for the remainder of the game. 
Jasprit Bumrah was then taken for scans, and it was also certain that the fast bowler had something serious. The pacer, after a few hours, then returned to the dressing room again but didn't take the field as he was seen climbing the stairs, which raised a bit of hope.
Later in the press conference, India fast bowler Prasidh Krishna confirmed that Jasprit Bumrah experienced back spasms and hence was taken for the scans. There have been a lot of speculations about whether the fast bowler will be taking the field on Day three or not. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah might come out to bat but a final call on his bowling will be taken based on how he feels on Sunday Morning</h2>
Now, the reports in the Times of India have made a massive revelation. It is learned that the fast bowler might come out to bat but a final call on his bowling will be taken based on how he feels on Sunday Morning. 
If he misses the game, it will be a massive blow for the Indian team as they are setting the target. And to defend the target, it will be extremely tough for them to defend without Jasprit Bumrah.

Indian Cricket Team's leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is going through a tough phase in his life. While on the Cricketing side of things, he got snubbed from the Central-Contract list of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) last year and he hasn't played in any matches for the Men in Blue in 2024, including the 2024 T20 World Cup, bilateral series versus Zimbabwe &amp; Sri Lanka and other home bilateral series assignments too, despite finding his name in the squad. 
In terms of his personal life, all is not well between him and wife Dhanashree Verma. Divorce Rumors between the two have been circling constantly and these rumors have gained ground after fans noticed that the two have unfollowed each other on social media platform Instagram.
<h2>Is a divorce between Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal imminent? A shocking revelation comes out</h2>
To what might come as a shock to everybody, the couple have deleted each other's wedding photos from their respective Instagram handles which adds even more fuel to the fire. Earlier in 2024, Hardik Pandya and his wife Natasa Stankovic had parted ways with each other and they too had deleted all of their photos with each other and now, the same thing is happening with Dhanashree &amp; Yuzi Chahal. 
Moreover, a unnamed source close to both Chahal &amp; his wife also gave a confirmation that the divorce rumours are true and they might part ways with each other soon.
"Their (Chahal &amp; Dhanashree's) divorce is unavoidable &amp; it's only a matter of time before an official news comes out. The particular reasons for their separation are unknown yet, but it's evident that two have decided to move on from each other and live separately," the source told Times of India (TOI). 
It's worth noting that Dhanashree and Yuzi got married to each other four years ago in 2020 and their wedding proved to be surprising for many people. They shared a very close and good bond with each other both on and outside the Cricket-field. The 28-year-old Dhanashree revealed the love story of the two in 2024 when she started on 'Jhalak Dikhhla Ja', a dance-reality show. 
"In 2020, when the entire world was affected was affected by the global pandemic and Covid-19, no Cricket matches were taking place and all the Cricket players getting frustrated by just sitting at their homes constantly. At that time, he (Chahal) decided to learn how to dance. He had watched my dance videos on social-media platforms and at that time, I used to teach dance to other people. So he directly approached me to learn dance &amp; I agreed to do so," Dhanashree said.
While the couple's divorce rumours are gaining ground, it's not the first time that such a news has come in.
