RCB vs SRH Game Was One Of Sixes, Not Of Batsmanship: Aaron Finch | Cricket News

[ad_1] Bengaluru:Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru unleashing a barrage of sixes in their IPL match left little room for batsmanship and what mattered was who hit the most number of sixes, said Australia's T20 World Cup-winning skipper Aaron Finch. Travis Head's maiden T20 ton and Heinrich Klaasen's pillaging 67 drove SRH to a record-breaking 287 for three, which helped them go past their own 277/3 against Mumbai Indians at Hyderabad this March 27.Dinesh Karthik then smashed a blazing 35-ball 83 but RCB ended up losing the match in which 38 sixes were hit all around the park."It was never going to be a game where you talk about batsmanship. It's a game where you talk about who hit the most sixes and that was the difference," Finch said on Star Sports."They (RCB) had t...

Did MS Dhoni’s Hat-Trick Of Sixes Come At A Cost? Video Leaves Fans Worried | Cricket News

[ad_1] MS Dhoni in action for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2024© X (formerly Twitter)MS Dhoni left both fans and experts completely spellbound as the Chennai Super Kings batter slammed Hardik Pandya for three back-to-back sixes during the IPL 2024 match against Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai was witness to a trademark Dhoni knock that saw the veteran wicket-keeper batter score 20 runs in just 4 balls at an astonishing strike rate of 500. At 42 years old, Dhoni has vastly limited himself to a finisher's role for his franchise and his knock was instrumental in taking the total beyond the 200-run mark. However, it looked like the knock came at some cost as Dhoni was seen limping with padding around his knee in a video posted on social media.MS Dhoni last night at the...

“Little Inside Joke”: Travis Head On His Celebration After Scoring Ton Against RCB | Cricket News

[ad_1] Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Travis Head revealed that his celebration after completing the century against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) was for head coach Daniel Vettori. Head was flawless as he wreaked havoc in the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, with the majority of the RCB bowlers falling at the receiving end of the Australian's onslaught.

“Better Death Bowler Compared To Hardik Pandya”: Wasim Jaffer On MI Captain’s Blunder | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer feels that Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya's decision to bowl the 20th over instead of Akash Madhwal in the Chennai Super Kings innings was a "debatable" decision. Jasprit Bumrah bowled the 19th over, which left Hardik with the option to bowl the final over or let Akash Madhwal finish off the innings for MI. Hardik took the mantle and ended up conceding 26 runs, which was laced with MS Dhoni's hattrick of sixes, which powered CSK to 206/4, which seemed like a far-fetched thought.While chasing 207, Hardik came out to bat when the asking rate was under 13. The MI skipper was expected to live up to his reputation as finisher. However, a bouncer from Tushar Deshpande sealed his trip back to the dressing room."Well, I think if I have to criticis...
