[ad_1] File photo of Harbhajan Singh© BCCI/SportzpicsPunjab Kings' dependency on skipper Shikhar Dhawan is a major concern and rest of the players will have to take responsibility if they have to emerge as title contenders in the ongoing IPL, said former India spinner Harbhajan Singh.

"The Punjab side seems is largely dependent on their captain Shikhar Dhawan in the batting department which is a concern," Harbhajan told Star Sports Cricket Live."While depending on one play...

After Heroic 104 Off 51, Venkatesh Iyer Credits Maiden IPL Century To This Ex India Star | Cricket News

[ad_1] Having blasted a scintillating 104 in his "comeback" IPL following a long injury lay-off, Kolkata Knight Riders batter Venkatesh Iyer on Sunday dedicated his maiden century to assistant coach Abhishek Nayar. The 28-year-old from Indore was in good form during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in October last year before he tripped off a staircase and twisted his ankle, the injury cutting his domestic season short. He underwent a surgery and then spent many months at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru to get back to his full fitness."IPL is a comeback tournament. I broke my left ankle six months back - the subtalar joint had come out - and it was a freakish accident. But I am fortunate to be under a system where the BCCI takes care of me," he told the media after the match."Everyt...

But, the all-rounder didn't get much help from other batters, with Andre Russell's 11-ball 21 being the second-highest score. Yet, it was enough to take the team's sco...

“Something Is Lacking”: Ex-India Batter’s Brutal Take On KKR Overseas Star In IPL 2023 | Cricket News

[ad_1] Kolkata Knight Riders in action during IPL 2023© BCCIFormer Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra was not impressed with how Andre Russell has performed for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.

Ahead of KKR's game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chopra said that players like Rinku Singh and skipper Nitish Rana have stepped up but Russell's form remains a major concern for the Kolkata side.“Kolkata is a team on a roll. It seems they are a team with problems. Andre Russell's bat hasn't spoken at all till now. It looks like something is lacking i...
