When asked if Maxwell reminded him of himself, the 35-year-old Sehwag said: “No, no. I was not that destructive. I was a bit, but not that much.” On being asked about what he likes best about Maxwell’s batting, Sehwag said: “I don’t think he is worried about his game; he’s more worried about golf and practices more golf than cricket. He just goes out there in the middle, gives his 100 per cent out there and comes back happily with whatever he gets....

Dhoni skippered CSK for eight seasons since the inception of IPL and is leading Pune after the Chennai-based franchise was suspended for two years due to a betting and spot-fixing scandal. Also Read: 5 most memorable moments from the Mumbai Indians-Rising Pune Supergiants match that don’t fade away “As I said it was, I knew I would play for the Pune team but the actual moment comes when you start walking with the team-sheet in your hand till that point of time its only practice and everything,” Dhoni told reporters here....

Hyderabad came into the tournament as the defending champions and unleashed a new weapon in the form of Rashid Khan to dominate the first few games. But a soft middle-order meant that they could not be bullish in every game. They, in fact, sealed their play-off spot on the last day and will be greeted by a strong Kolkata outfit. Here, we take a look at five reasons why Kolkata Knight Riders can beat Sunrisers in the eliminator in Bengaluru....

What’s the story? With the news of Virat Kohli missing the first few matches of the IPL breaking out, the Royal Challengers Bangalore were dealt a massive blow in their bid to win their first ever title. Shortly after that, it was revealed that KL Rahul would miss the entire season due to a shoulder injury and just when things couldn’t go further downhill, newly appointed captain AB De Villiers injured his back....

With Gayle back in Bangalore ahead of the IPL 2017, he took some time off the field supporting Diageo – United Spirit’s interactive tool DrinkIQ. DRINKiQ.com was first introduced in 2008 when Diageo led the industry in launching a responsible drinking website. In early 2016, the tool was upgraded to provide comprehensive nutritional and alcohol information about its brands. The DRINKiQ initiative is part of Diageo’s commitment to give consumers greater transparency and help them to make more informed choices about alcohol as part of a balanced lifestyle....

Their batsmen have scored runs while their bowlers have leaked them in plenty, which is evident by the fact that Yuzvendra Chahal has the best economy of 8.05 runs per over among the RCB bowlers. He, along with Umesh Yadav (1 for 23), set the game up for his team against Chennai Super Kings, but they could not get support from other bowlers who conceded 100 runs in the last seven overs as Chennai completed the biggest chase ever at the M Chinnaswamy stadium....

While some retentions were obvious, there were some surprise retentions too, like that of Sarfaraz Khan by RCB and Ravindra Jadeja by CSK. Also, there were many big names who did not make it to the list, making them potential candidates to be retained by the respective teams through Right To Match cards at the auction. The teams who have retained 3 players, now are left with 2 RTMs and those who have retained up to 2 players are left with 3 RTMs that can be used during the player auction....

The cricketers have given their all on the field and in the process, succumbed to injury meaning replacements have had to be roped in. Teams have been forced to make personnel changes which have resulted in a change of plans midway through the season. While few replacements were able to perform well, most of them failed miserably. We look at 5 such players who were brought in as replacements but flattered to deceive:...

Bumrah, especially, has been on a roll since his debut and is currently the best limited overs bowler in the world. As always, this season has featured plenty of uncapped players who have exceeded expectations. As a way of giving them the credit they deserve, here is the best playing XI comprising uncapped players from this IPL: Openers Prithvi Shaw (Delhi Daredevils) It’s not very often that an U-19 skipper manages to make an impact at the senior level right after taking his team to victory at the junior level, but Prithvi Shaw, just like Virat Kohli, has successfully managed to do so....

In reply, MI looked stable from the beginning with openers Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis adding 69. Skipper Rohit Sharma came in at No.3 and began batting aggressively. He eventually reached his fifty and thanks to some assistance from Hardik Pandya towards the end of the innings, MI won the match with two balls to spare. Despite the defeat, Chennai Super Kings managed to stay at the top of the table while Mumbai Indians moved to the 6th position with the win....

Chennai got off to a strong start as Ambati Rayadu continued in his rich vein of form but a wobble in the middle overs ensured that the match did not go out of Mumbai’s hands as Chennai posted a par score of 169 runs. In reply, Mumbai got off to a steady start and some intelligent batting from the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Evin Lewis and Rohit Sharma got the defending champions home with 2 balls to spare....

If they are to do it, then their campaign must be restarted tonight against KKR, a team which has traditionally dominated them. KKR beat them comfortably in the 1st encounter between these two sides and it is not an exaggeration to say that DD must be at their best if they are to win today. KKR themselves are coming off a heavy defeat against Kings XI Punjab and would like to get back to winning ways immediately....

This will be Karthik’s sixth IPL franchise in the tournament’s 10-year history. However, he has never had the chance to represent his local side and it looks highly unlikely that he’d be presented with a chance to play for CSK in the near future now that KKR have appointed him as the captain. “Heart of hearts, I thought I’ll be playing for CSK from the very first year. It’s been 10 years and it has never happened....

With better visibility, healthcare providers can see abnormalities, such as scarring, tumors, or kidney stones. Your practitioner might order an intravenous pyelogram as an early test to help diagnose causes of certain signs and symptoms, such as abdominal or flank pain, pain during urination, difficulty urinating, or blood in urine....

The first hurdle was technology. Back home in Canada, Weinstein had made a pile of money in the plumbing business. He could tell you everything about bushings and bidets—but he didn’t know the first thing about audiology. “I didn’t know a decibel from Tinkerbell,” he says. Even so, he didn’t need a degree in physiology to understand the scope of the problem. The World Health Organization says there are roughly 250 million hearing-impaired people around the globe, with two thirds of them living in developing nations....

Hospital resources in Iowa have been stretched thin as more coronavirus patients are admitted. On Monday, state officials reported 187,020 positive cases of COVID-19 and 1,991 fatalities attributable to the virus since the outbreak began earlier this year. On Saturday, the Polk County Health Department announced a record number of coronavirus patients. Reynolds, who has spoken out against large-scale mask-wearing orders in the past, said her proclamation was not about mandates or government....

Mumbai have been led by some great players over the years, including the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma. Some other world-class players like Andrew Symonds, Martin Guptill and Lasith Malinga have had the good fortune of representing the franchise. That said, there have been a few players that were unable to play a single game for the Mumbai-based franchise despite being a part of their squad. We take a look at five former Mumbai Indians players that did not play a single game for the team....
