#ipl final 2021

Depleted and against all logic, New Zealand is in Pakistan for a battle of un-equals

In an effort to appease its hosts, New Zealand was forced to publicly promise Pakistan compensation in May of last year. They would have to pay out of their own wallets to make up for canceling a tour to Pakistan on the day of the first game in September 2021, claiming a particular security concern. But because they wouldn't divulge it, the amount they would pay was pretty vague. The assurances persisted. As part of their preparation for the then-imminent T20 World Cup in Australia, they would also invite Pakistan to a triangular T20 International series. And they would make two further trips to Pakistan over the course of the following year. In December, they would play Tests, and in January, ODIs. Then, as though these two nations were neighbors, New Zealand would visit Pakistan once more in order to play 10 games of the white ball, five of each format. Mr. Raja, would that be acceptable? Despite the fact that Ramiz Raja may no longer be alive, New Zealand is still present. Despite the fact that it is already mid-April and the season in which it becomes uncomfortable hot has just about started. It doesn't matter that Ramadan has pushed the start of the T20Is to 9 p.m. local time, which means they won't end before midnight. Or that Pakistan will be playing cricket as the rest of the nation celebrates the end of Ramadan since the series will coincide with Eid. Don't worry about the fact that the majority of New Zealand's top athletes are now on the other side of the Attari-Wagah border. A New Zealand team that was so weakened by factors other than injury has not been to another nation since the team captained by Jamie How in England in April 2008. How was Frank at the moment while discussing the unavailable players as they competed in the first-ever IPL competition, which you may have heard of? He had stated, as if a whole tour of England wasn't one of the highlights of New Zealand's cricketing year, that "I think everyone wishes they were in India at some point." On the eve of the series in Lahore, Tom Latham—who was now filling in for Williamson—was acting with a little more reserve. The planning hasn't been great," he said. But as members of the international cricket team, we must adjust as fast as possible. Although we have only had one training session prior to this series, and if the circumstances are different, we must trust the work we have already completed at home. The group includes several young men as well as some more seasoned members. men with extensive international T20 cricket experience. These players were chosen based on their performances in New Zealand's domestic cricket, and this is a fantastic chance for them.

There are several first-choice players for Pakistan

Sethi has agreed to support me. In every series, we strive to deliver our best. I am unable to obtain a written guarantee that I will serve as captain. But I make an effort to use my power and uphold the norms I've established. I don't attempt to pay attention to what is being spoken, but things are happening in the background. If I did, the pressure would only rise. There is more to that final argument than simply that, but since Babar has stated that the two would bat first, there is little use in beating a dead horse. With the T20 World Cup 18 months away, Pakistan will have time on their side to put the Afghanistan series behind Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris. In addition, Ihsanullah and Zaman Khan get another chance, while Shaheen Shah Afridi is back to platoon over with Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, so Pakistan should have no dearths in that area. Pakistan has top-notch quick bowlers who can snuff out fires and a strong top order. They have a formula that has worked for them in the past, and while they are looking to tweak it to help them advance, Babar believes there is no need to completely throw it out. We are strong enough to win this series, he declared. Our youthful athletes' performances in the PSL, both as bowlers and batsmen, have been outstanding. And some of our more experienced guys, like Haris Rauf, Naseem, and Shaheen, are singing. We've created a fantastic mix. You cannot, however, guarantee that it will be simple. Even though even their youngest players have plenty of form and experience, it is a misconception that this is New Zealand's B squad. The majority of their players are seasoned professionals.

Uncertainty surrounding Babar Azam's captaincy

Even if Pakistan's preparations went as well as they should have, they still managed to create some of their own. Unusually, it came from the nation's top cricket official, PCB chairman Najam Sethi, who used Twitter to issue a statement that was everything but a clear endorsement of the skipper. He acknowledged that he had sought the selection committee's opinion on the advantages of keeping Babar, and he stated that going forward, he would be guided by the selectors and head coach. He added that his choice will depend on whether the status quo was successful or unsuccessful. At Babar's pre-series briefing, Sethi, a former journalist, had nonchalantly dropped that bombshell only one day before current journalists sat down, placing the captain in the agonizingly hard position of defending himself while not appearing to contradict the person who had the authority to fire him. Babar added, very much with the attitude of a man walking a tightrope, "Sethi has given me his backing." In every series, we strive to deliver our best. I am unable to obtain a written guarantee that I will serve as captain. But I make an effort to use my power and uphold the norms I've established. I don't attempt to pay attention to what is being spoken, but things are happening in the background. If I did, the pressure would only rise. Babar is under pressure that he does not need and does not deserve. But the Gaddafi stadium may be in for some surprisingly exciting Ramzan cricket if it gives this series the extra edge and spice it so urgently needs.

Conclusion

The New Zealand cricket team is currently touring Pakistan for a 10-match white-ball series after canceling their last visit in 2002, citing security reasons. New Zealand's weakened squad, due to injuries and player withdrawals, faces a strong Pakistani team with top-quality fast bowlers and a formidable batting line-up. The series coincides with Ramadan, and the T20 matches will be played after midnight local time. The tour has caused some uncertainty regarding Babar Azam's captaincy after the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman made ambiguous comments about his future in the role. Read the full article

[ad_1] Virat Kohli with RCB Teammates (PC: BCCI/X)   The 2025 IPL will be the 18th season of the tournament. It so happens that Virat Kohli’s shirt number is also 18. Just to add a bit more intrigue, Kohli could be back as Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s captain next year. Maybe the stars are perfectly aligning for Kohli to lead his team to their maiden IPL title? Leaving aside astrology, the bigger question is what are the pros and cons of Kohli returning as the skipper. There are certainly some merits to Kohli again taking over the leadership role. One of the key strengths of Kohli is he c an galvanise the side with his batting and sheer presence on the field. Not just that, the boisterous crowd at the Chinnaswamy is always in awe of Kohli. So, with Kohli back as the skipper, expect the fans to fervently support the franchise. After all, the fans are unofficially the 12th man of any side. A peek into how Kohli lifts the spirits of RCB could be noticed during the last season. They lost seven of their first eight games before charting a miraculous comeback and made it into the Eliminator Phase. Obviously, Kohli was part of the senior group, which would have also comprised Faf du Plessis, the incumbent captain, and Andy Flower, the current head coach. Kohli also became the Orange Cap Holder, aggregating 741 runs at an average of around 62. Around eight seasons ago, as the skipper of RCB, he had also powered the side to the final, only for the franchise to suffer a heartbreaking defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Even during that season, Kohli won the Orange Cap, having notched up 973 runs at an astonishing average of 81.08. Unfortunately,  RCB also have had to go through phases where they couldn’t stitch enough wins together. Over three seasons, they ended up eighth, sixth and eighth. In the subsequent two years, RCB showed some promise by reaching the playoffs. But every single time, it seemed as if there was a team better than them. RCB were also blamed for some questionable picks and releases, alongside a few tactical errors. One of them was releasing their leading wicket-taker, Yuzvendra Chahal, after the 2021 season.  It so happened that during Kohli’s last game as the RCB captain, against Kolkata Knight Riders, in 2021, we witnessed a curious decision: Daniel Christian was given the 15th over ahead of Shahbaz Ahmed, the left-arm spinner. Granted that the match-up of a left-arm spinner going up against a left-handed batter – Sunil Narine – didn’t exactly suit Shahbaz. However, on a quintessential turning track in Sharjah, logic indicated that spin was a better option than taking a punt on Christian. The all-rounder was duly smacked for three sixes in a single over by Narine. When Shakib Al Hasan jammed a yorker to steal a single and take KKR home, the cameras zoomed in on Kohli’s dejected face. In September that year, Kohli had announced that he was stepping down as RCB’s captain. So, at that moment, it looked like Kohli’s dream of hoisting the glittering silverware had been shattered. Time flies. Just over three years later, Kohli could very well take back the reins of captaincy. Maybe his dream is still burning bright.     The post Is Kohli’s RCB dream still burning bright? appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports. [ad_2] Source link

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): A Deep Dive into Their Playoff History

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the most iconic franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite their popularity and star-studded lineups over the years, RCB has had a complicated journey in the IPL. The franchise is known for its explosive performances and dedicated fanbase, but the elusive IPL trophy has remained just out of reach. A common question fans often ask is, "How many times has RCB qualified for the playoffs?" The answer is that RCB has made it to the playoffs nine times as of 2024. However, their performance in the finals has been less than fortunate, as they have reached the finals three times but are yet to win the championship.

RCB’s Journey to the Playoffs: An Overview

RCB has had a roller-coaster history when it comes to qualifying for the IPL playoffs. Despite a strong batting lineup and some of the most iconic players in the IPL, the team has struggled with consistency. Let’s break down their playoff appearances season by season:

2009: After a disappointing start in 2008, RCB found their rhythm in the 2009 season. Anil Kumble led the team to their first playoff and eventually to the final, where they faced the Deccan Chargers. Despite a spirited effort, RCB lost the final. However, this marked the beginning of their journey as one of the top contenders in the IPL.

2010: In the 2010 season, RCB maintained their competitive form and once again reached the playoffs. However, their journey ended in the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by the Mumbai Indians. Although they didn’t make it to the final, RCB proved they were a force to be reckoned with.

2011: The 2011 season was a golden opportunity for RCB. They topped the points table, largely thanks to the power-hitting of Chris Gayle, who was in sensational form. RCB reached the final for the second time but fell short, losing to the Chennai Super Kings. It was another heart-breaking defeat, as they missed out on the trophy despite a stellar season.

2015: After a few seasons of inconsistency, RCB bounced back in 2015, reaching the playoffs again. With Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Mitchell Starc in their ranks, RCB looked strong but were eliminated in the semi-finals by Chennai Super Kings. It was another close call, but the wait for their first title continued.

2016: The 2016 IPL season was RCB’s best chance at clinching their maiden title. Virat Kohli was in sensational form, scoring a record 973 runs with four centuries. RCB reached their third final, but despite being favorites, they were beaten by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The loss added to their tally of missed opportunities, as the title continued to evade them.

2020: After a four-year playoff drought, RCB made a comeback in 2020 under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Although they had moments of brilliance, they were knocked out in the eliminator by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The season ended in disappointment, but RCB’s return to the playoffs was a positive sign.

2021: RCB secured a playoff spot for the second consecutive year in 2021. With consistent performances throughout the season, hopes were high. However, they were once again eliminated in the eliminator, this time by Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite the loss, RCB showed they were building a consistent, competitive team.

2022: In 2022, RCB made it to the playoffs for the third straight season. They won the eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants but were defeated by Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier. While the wait for an IPL title continued, RCB’s consistency in reaching the playoffs was becoming a hallmark of the team.

2024: In the 2024 IPL season, under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, RCB qualified for the playoffs once again. Although they put up a strong fight, they were unable to make it to the final. With nine playoff appearances, RCB has consistently been among the top teams, but the elusive IPL trophy remains a distant dream.

How Many Times Has RCB Qualified for the Final?

In addition to asking, "How many times has RCB qualified for the playoffs?", another common question is how many times they’ve reached the final. RCB has made it to the IPL final on three occasions: 2009, 2011, and 2016. Unfortunately, RCB has lost all three finals.

2009 Final: RCB’s first final appearance came in 2009, where they faced Deccan Chargers. Despite a strong run to the final, they couldn’t cross the line and finished as runners-up.

2011 Final: RCB was in prime form in 2011, largely due to Chris Gayle’s exceptional performances. They finished at the top of the points table and reached the final. However, Chennai Super Kings outplayed them, handing RCB their second final defeat.

2016 Final: The 2016 season is often remembered for Virat Kohli’s record-breaking run-scoring spree. RCB looked destined to win their first IPL title, but Sunrisers Hyderabad had other plans, defeating them in the final and leaving RCB without a trophy for the third time.

Challenges Faced by RCB in Playoff Matches

RCB’s struggle in the playoffs can be attributed to several factors. Despite having some of the most explosive players in the league, the team has often faltered at crucial moments. Here are some of the challenges RCB has faced in their playoff runs:

Inconsistent Bowling Lineup: One of RCB’s primary weaknesses over the years has been their bowling attack. While their batting, led by stars like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle, has often been their strength, their bowling has lacked consistency, especially in the death overs.

Over-Reliance on Key Players: RCB has frequently relied on individual brilliance to carry them through matches. While players like Kohli and de Villiers have delivered spectacular performances, this dependence has often left the team vulnerable when these stars fail to fire.

Pressure of Knockout Matches: RCB has struggled to handle the pressure in high-stakes knockout matches. Whether it’s nerves or strategic missteps, they have often underperformed in finals and eliminators. Building a mentally resilient team is essential for RCB to go all the way.

What Lies Ahead for RCB?

RCB’s repeated playoff appearances show they are always in the mix, but winning the IPL title remains the ultimate goal. For them to break the jinx and finally claim the trophy, a few key factors will be crucial:

Building a Balanced Squad: RCB needs to focus on assembling a well-rounded team with depth in both batting and bowling. Strengthening their bowling lineup, especially in the death overs, will be critical.

Developing Young Talent: Investing in young players, especially bowlers, will add depth to the team and allow RCB to be more consistent. Nurturing talent will help them avoid over-reliance on a few star players.

Mental Strength in Big Games: RCB’s history in knockout games shows a pattern of faltering under pressure. Addressing this issue and building a mentally resilient squad will increase their chances of finally lifting the IPL trophy.

Conclusion

So, how many times has RCB qualified for the playoffs? The answer is nine times. Despite their numerous playoff appearances, RCB is still in search of their first IPL title. With a strong fan base and a competitive squad, RCB remains one of the most exciting teams in the IPL. As they continue to build and improve, fans hope that the long-awaited IPL title will soon come their way.

Not KKR, Rahul Dravid Set To Seal His IPL Return With This Franchise

After successfully guiding the Indian team to T20 World Cup 2024 triumph as head coach, Rahul Dravid is reportedly gearing up for a new adventure in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Since his tenure as the head coach of the Indian team came to an end, Dravid has been linked with multiple franchises in the T20 league. Earlier, reports suggested that the batting great could decide to join Kolkata Knight Riders, especially as the franchise saw their mentor Gautam Gambhir leave the team to fill the void left by Dravid in the Indian team as head coach. But, it has now been reported that Dravid is in talks with his former IPL side Rajasthan Royals.

"Talks are going on between RR and Dravid, and an announcement in this regard is round the corner," Times of India quoted a source as saying.

As Dravid hunts for a new adventure, Gambhir has begun his stint as the Indian team's head coach. He flew to Sri Lanka with the other members of the Indian team ahead of the white-ball assignment. Before the team's departure, Gambhir did admit he has some big shoes to fill, considering what Dravid has done with the Indian team as head coach.

As India lifted the T20 World Cup 2024 title, beating South Africa in the final, Dravid did joke about being 'jobless' from the next month, and asked reporters if they had any offers. A man of the talent of Dravid, and the gold-worthy experience in Indian cricket, franchises are understandably lining up to rope him into the team.

Dravid didn't want to continue as the Indian team's head coach as he didn't want to spend 10 months a year travelling, keeping himself away from the family. But, the Indian Premier League is different. In the T20 league, Dravid only needs to be with the franchise for 2-3 months a year, a prospect he could fancy.

The former India captain has worked as a mentor and coach with IPL franchises in the past. Dravid was the coach of Delhi Daredevils franchise before leaving the job in 2017 over 'conflict of interest'. Since ending his IPL career, Dravid has worked as the coach of India's junior teams, including Under-19 and India A.

He was most recently working as the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru before taking up the India job in 2021.

Now linked with the Rajasthan Royals, it would be interesting to see on what capacity would the former India head coach work with the franchise.

Known for their passionate fan base, star-studded line-ups, and thrilling performances, RCB’s journey through the IPL seasons has been a rollercoaster ride filled with highs and lows. Here’s a comprehensive look at RCB’s journey through the IPL seasons.

Stay updated on the RCB Team Players List for the IPL, with detailed squad information and the playing schedule, in our extensive guide RCB Team Players List.

2008: The Inaugural Season

RCB had a rocky start in the inaugural IPL season. Despite having legendary players like Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, and Jacques Kallis, they finished seventh in the eight-team tournament. The team struggled to find the right balance and consistency, winning only four out of 14 matches.

2009: Runners-Up

Under the captaincy of Anil Kumble, RCB made a remarkable turnaround in the 2009 season, which was held in South Africa due to the general elections in India. The team finished third in the league stage and reached the final, losing to Deccan Chargers by six runs. Ross Taylor and Manish Pandey were among the standout performers.

2010: Semi-Finalists

RCB continued their strong performance in 2010, finishing third in the league stage. They made it to the semi-finals but were defeated by the Mumbai Indians. The season saw Virat Kohli emerge as a key player for the team alongside star performers like Jacques Kallis and Robin Uthappa.

2011: Finalists

The 2011 season was another strong showing for RCB. Led by Daniel Vettori, and with the explosive Chris Gayle joining the squad, they finished top of the league table. Gayle’s incredible batting, including his 175* against Pune Warriors, was a highlight. However, they fell short in the final against Chennai Super Kings.

2012-2013: Struggles and Near Misses

The next two seasons were disappointing for RCB. In 2012, they finished fifth, narrowly missing out on the playoffs. Chris Gayle continued to dominate with the bat, but the team’s inconsistency cost them. In 2013, despite another strong showing from Gayle and Kohli, they finished fifth again.

2014: A Season of Change

The 2014 season saw a major overhaul in the squad and support staff. Despite high expectations, RCB finished seventh. Kohli and AB de Villiers showed flashes of brilliance, but the team struggled to find momentum.

2015: A Return to Form

In 2015, RCB returned to form, finishing third in the league stage. They made it to the second qualifier but were knocked out by Chennai Super Kings. Kohli, de Villiers, and Gayle formed a formidable batting trio, and Mitchell Starc’s bowling strengthened the team.

2016: Heartbreak in the Final

The 2016 season is one of the most memorable for RCB fans. Virat Kohli had a record-breaking season, scoring 973 runs, including four centuries. RCB finished second in the league stage and made it to the final, where they were defeated by Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high-scoring thriller.

2017-2019: A Period of Struggle

The subsequent seasons were tough for RCB. In 2017, they finished last, managing only three wins. The 2018 season saw some improvement, but they still finished sixth. The 2019 season was another disappointment, with RCB finishing at the bottom of the table again. Despite having star players, the team struggled with consistency and balance.

2020: Return to Playoffs

The 2020 season, held in the UAE due to the COVID-19 pandemic, saw RCB making a comeback. They finished fourth in the league stage, reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2016. However, they were eliminated by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator. Kohli, de Villiers, and young talent Devdutt Padikkal were standout performers.

2021: Consistent Performance

RCB had a strong 2021 season, finishing third in the league stage. They made it to the Eliminator but were knocked out by Kolkata Knight Riders. The season saw the emergence of Harshal Patel, who won the Purple Cap for being the highest wicket-taker. Glenn Maxwell also made a significant impact with his all-round performances.

2022: Playoffs Again

In 2022, RCB continued their consistent run, finishing fourth in the league stage. They reached the second qualifier but were eliminated by Rajasthan Royals. Faf du Plessis joined the team and made significant contributions, adding depth to the batting line-up alongside Kohli and de Villiers.

2023: Building for the Future

The 2023 season saw RCB focusing on building a strong core of young players while retaining their experienced stars. They finished fifth, narrowly missing out on the playoffs. The season highlighted the potential of new talents like Rajat Patidar and Shahbaz Ahmed, showing promise for the future.

2024: The Quest for the Title

In the 2024 season, RCB aims to build on its recent performances and make a strong bid for the IPL title. With a mix of experienced players and promising newcomers, the team has shown a renewed sense of determination and focus. Key players like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and young talents are expected to play crucial roles. Fans are hopeful that RCB’s quest for their maiden IPL title will finally come to fruition this year.

Conclusion

The journey of Royal Challengers Bangalore through the IPL seasons has been a mix of exhilarating highs and frustrating lows. Despite not having won the IPL title yet, RCB remains one of the most beloved franchises, known for their passionate fans and star-studded line-ups.

"Love To Look At Things In Positive Manner": Sanju Samson Ahead Of ICC T20 WC 2024 Opener

Ahead of their opener against Ireland in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson said that he positively looks at things while reflecting on failures and successes in his career.

Samson, who made his international debut in 2014 in a T20I match, has had ups and downs, having played just 25 T20Is and 16 ODIs for India over the last decade.

His T20 stats have been disappointing as he has scored just 374 runs at an average of 18.70 with one half-century. a strike rate of 133.09 and the best score of 77.

Samson has made his way into the T20 WC squad after a career-best Indian Premier League (IPL) which helped take Rajasthan Royals (RR) to the playoffs. He scored 531 runs at an average of 48.27 and a strike rate of 153.46, with five half-centuries. His best score was 86*.

The Kerala-born cricketer asserted that at the time when a cricketer is young and successful, he tries to skip a few lessons.

"I love to look at things in a more positive manner. If it's a failure or setback, you learn through it. When you are young and successful, you skip a few lessons. I am blessed with my talent, which comes naturally to me as a batter" Samson said in a video posted by BCCI.

The 29-year-old further stated that right from the moment he arrived in the United States, he had taken out all the things regarding Indian Premier which is in his mind.

"Right from the moment I landed here, IPL has been away from my mind. I tell myself that I am somewhere where people dream of going. Then I was like, what else do I need to do? Mentally I did not have to motivate myself. Things happen automatically. When you meet Rohit and Virat, you get inspired and there is no looking back. How can Sanju help India win more games, what it is like to be a WC player for India? I am very grateful for the support wherever I go," the wicketkeeper added.

In the end, Samson said that he loves to change and adapt according to the conditions.

"The biggest lesson as a cricketer and human is that the change is constant. You cannot say that this is the only way to play. I love to change and adapt as per conditions. You can't be the same Sanju Samson," the right-hand batter concluded.

India will start their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

The blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan will take place on June 9. India will later play tournament co-hosts USA (June 12) and Canada (June 15) to wrap up their Group A matches.

In the tournament, India will be aiming to end their ICC trophy drought, having last won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. Since then, India has reached the 50-over World Cup final in 2023, semifinal in 2015 and 2019, the title clash of the ICC World Test Championship in 2021 and 2023, T20 WC final in 2014, semifinals in 2016 and 2022 but failed to secure a big ICC trophy.

India squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. SirajReserves: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan.

New Zealand beat Pakistan by six wickets

Mark Chapman went out and did what he had been threatening all series when the stakes were at their highest. The 28-year-old scored an unbeaten 104 off 57 balls, chasing down 194, in a breathtaking display of magnificently clean hitting against some of the best T20 cricket bowlers to stun Pakistan. Even though New Zealand led Pakistan by 2-0 after two games, it was the second-highest total ever scored against Pakistan in T20 matches. It also means that the series ended in a tie. It is additionally New Zealand's 100th T20I win, one that will invest wholeheartedly in a spot in New Zealand T20 fables. When they arrived in Pakistan from halfway around the world and only had one practice session under their belt when the series began, few would have given them hope that they could accomplish this. The fact that their team was depleted, with eight first-team players absent due to IPL duty, made the task even more difficult. Even on the day, it appeared especially unlikely that New Zealand would win when Imad Wasim struck to remove Daryl Mitchell, leaving them at 73 for 4 at the halfway point.

The tables are turned by Chapman and Neesham.

Chapman finished with 290 runs in a series despite only being dismissed once because Pakistan hadn't yet taken him into account. He hit Faheem Ashraf for 14 in the 11th over to put Pakistan on notice that the game and the series were not over yet. They should have heeded the warning, but they were powerless against Chapman's assault. Chapman destroyed every Pakistan bowler, right-arm and left-arm, as James Neesham's unbeaten 45 off 25 was a more than adequate supporting act. 71 runs were scored in the subsequent five overs, and New Zealand won the match. Chapman kept attacking even though he was getting close to a hundred now. Shaheen Shah Afridi had some luck against him; Before Afridi dropped him off his bowling on 98, Shadab Khan dropped a straightforward catch. He was able to complete the 100 he so richly deserved by sprinting back for two. At this point, it was a run-a-ball condition for the last two overs, and for Chapman here, it was a cakewalk. With four balls remaining, a small push into the on side sealed the deal, giving Pakistan a reality check and a bloody nose before the five-match ODI series starts later this week.

The trio of strikes

Pakistan may have started well with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, but the bowlers, much like New Zealand has done in almost every match this series, came back strong. In the final powerplay over, Babar was the first to fall when he misjudged an on-side slog. Mohammad Haris was eager to make up for a while when he came in with two balls left on the powerplay. However, he misread Blair Tickner's off-cutter and attempted to lap over a short fine leg from his first delivery. Before coming on, Ish Sodhi dispatched Saim Ayub with a wrong'un for another duck after taking a straightforward catch. A promising Pakistani start was ruined after the sudden loss of three wickets for one run in five balls.

Pakistan's strange slowness and Rizwan's score of 98

It's maybe boorish to criticize a T20 hundred, yet it's impossible to stay away from it. Since 2021, Rizwan has been one of Pakistan's most potent matchwinners and a run machine in Twenty20 Internationals. He started with the format-appropriate truculence, hurtling along even as Babar struggled and wickets fell at the other end, despite a relatively lean run by his standards. He started, batted through the middle of the innings, and probably should have scored a century. T20 centurions, on the other hand, are like presidents in that you probably don't deserve to be one. Rizwan's century might have come naturally if Pakistan had continued to attack the death overs in the same manner as any team that maximizes its run-scoring potential. All things considered, he picked relative wariness, and the last couple of balls were completely equipped towards getting Rizwan those last couple of runs instead of giving Pakistan each additional run they could scratch. Faheem Ashraf took just the single pitch rather than the two that were on or off the penultimate ball because Imad was run out trying to scrape a bye despite being the batter in better hitting form. Rizwan didn't even make it to three figures, but more so because he only scored one boundary out of his last 13 balls. Chapman, on the other hand, barely seemed to notice his score when batting on 98. Afridi had only one ball left and might have been drained for a solitary or seen off. The batter, on the other hand, attempted a high-risk jab to the on side, but the ball flew straight up. Even though Chapman scored the century and his team won, the score didn't matter.

Shaheen Afridi's opening score

Oh, how we've been missing out. Afridi went the whole series without recording a first-over wicket, but on Monday in Rawalpindi, it seemed as though his most alluring talent had never been absent. The match started with a first-ball wicket, albeit it wasn't exactly the inswinger that ripped through a right-handed batsman's defense. Instead, it drifted away from left-handed batter Tom Latham, who sliced it politely to Shadab at the point. He was prepared for the one that angled away, kissed the outside edge, and carried through to Rizwan after a couple of proving inswinging deliveries to Will Young. Afridi returned after New Zealand fell behind by two runs in an over, but only to witness the Nos. 5 and 6 of New Zealand make an incredible comeback.

Conclusion

New Zealand won against Pakistan in a T20 match by six wickets, with Mark Chapman leading the way with an unbeaten 104 off 57 balls. This was despite the odds being against them, with their team being depleted and having only had one practice session before the series began. Although Pakistan started well with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, the bowlers came back strong and limited their scoring. Rizwan scored 98 but picked relative wariness, and the last couple of balls were completely geared towards getting him the last couple of runs instead of giving Pakistan each additional run they could scratch. Chapman kept attacking even when he was close to a hundred and destroyed every Pakistan bowler. It is also worth noting that this win is New Zealand's 100th T20I win, which is a significant milestone. Read the full article

[ad_1] Gautam Gambhir attended the Press Conference ahead of the 3rd test between India and New Zealand. Subhayan Chakraborty in Mumbai Despite the poor showing of India’s batters, Gautam Gambhir, the head coach, refused to pin the blame on certain individuals while accepting that the entire squad was hurt after losing their first Test series at home since 2012. India head into the third Test against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai bidding to avoid a clean sweep, while also aiming for a crucial win in the context of the World Test Championship (WTC). “I’m not going to sugarcoat this,” Gambhir told reporters in Mumbai on the eve of the third Test. “Obviously, it’s hurting. And it’s good that it’s hurting because it should hurt. Every time you lose a game, be it at home or be it away from home, it should hurt. That hurt will make us better. Sometimes people say that it should not hurt. But it should hurt. “When you’re playing for your country, what’s wrong in being in that position? The more, especially for the youngsters, it’s hurting them, I’m sure they’re going to push themselves to keep getting better. Because that is exactly what we want them to be. Pushing themselves every day to be a better cricketer. And to do something special. Because if we have results like what we had in Kanpur, then we might as well have results like this. And take that hurt and keep moving forward.” With IPL retention deadline day being a focal point of discussion, players could be a bit distracted ahead of such a crucial Test. However, Gambhir was unfussed as he said the players are completely focussed on the Test match. “Doesn’t bother me one bit (IPL retention),” he said. “I think it’s about Indian cricket tomorrow, I think it’s about the Test match that’s coming up tomorrow.” Mitchell Santner wreaked havoc in Pune as he dismantled the Indian batting unit. In Mumbai, in 2021, New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel had scalped a total of 14 wickets in what was a historic outing for him. When asked whether India’s batting quality against spin has diminished a bit in the recent times, the Indian head coach quipped: “Sometimes you have to give it to the opposition as well. I think Mitchell Santner was outstanding in the last game. But yes, we’ll keep working hard, we’ll keep getting better. Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, and Jasprit Bumrah for team India (PC: BCCI/X) “That’s about it. Guys are putting a lot of hard yards in the nets. Yes, ultimately, it’s the results that matter when you’re playing international cricket. But I don’t think that our skill against spin has actually gone down.” With the Mumbai Test being seen as a crucial one for India in the context of qualifying for the WTC Final, and with a marquee five-Test series against Australia coming up, is the qualification scenario playing in the minds of the Indian team management or players? “Simple, try and win,” said Gambhir. “I think as simple as it can get. More importantly, we should try and win this Test match so that we can go to Australia with a win under our belt. And more importantly, it’s another great opportunity for people to do something special for the country. I think we very well know that we represent 140 crore Indians. So, it’s another opportunity because very few people get this opportunity and honour to represent the country in Test cricket.” When asked about his opinion on Mumbai’s red-soil pitch, the former Indian opener said: “I think it looks a really good wicket. Obviously, it’s very difficult for anyone to judge how the wicket is going to behave unless the game starts on it and both the teams have batted on it. But I feel that it looks a decent wicket. And I’m sure that once the guys get in, they can actually make the most of it.” Gambhir, as India’s head coach, has had a rocky start to his stint, losing an ODI series in Sri Lanka before conceding the Test series against New Zealand at home. “I’ll be honest, I never expected a very easy run, because international cricket is never easy,” he said.

“And I believe that. I know that we lost in Sri Lanka, we’ve lost at home as well against New Zealand. It’s not the great place to be in. But all we can do is be absolutely honest to ourselves, keep working hard, keep working hard with the group and keep preparing them well and keep getting the results. Because ultimately, I think we want to try and win every game that we represent the country in.” The post Gautam Gambhir and Team India ‘hurt’ after series loss to New Zealand, but seek a turnaround in Mumbai appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

Key Factors Behind Radhakishan Damani’s Investment Decisions

Introduction 

Damani is a name with a sagacity of the Indian stock market. His investment decisions and strategies are not just successful but serve as a blueprint for aspiring investors.

He founded Dmart, a major retail corporation, and became renowned as a seasoned investor in the Indian equity market. His portfolio has been studied and envied by many. To read more about Radhakishan Daman's portfolio and net worth, read our blog on Altius Investech.

The blog would highlight his strategic moves contributing to the notable success while offering valuable insights to investors.

Long-term investment mindset

With his long-term investment horizon, unlike traders focusing on short-term gains, Damani has invested in various companies for numerous years.

The philosophy and approach of purchasing and holding onto stocks from fundamentally strong companies lets him earn benefits from steady growth, dividend payouts, and appreciation of long-term capital.

Avenue Supermarts, the parent company of DMart, highlights a great example demonstrating the exponential growth attained from long-term holdings. 

Damani has also invested in Chennai Super Kings – an IPL franchise backed by India Cements Limited. With an illustrious history, they have participated in a record 10 finals, won a record five IPL titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023, and qualified for the playoffs 12 times out of the 14 seasons they have played in, which is more than any other franchise.

To have your hands-on gains that we can vouch for, buy csk unlisted shares from Altius Investech starting from just ₹ 153. 

Value in Investments

Damani looks out for companies that are undervalued as per their actual worth. Buying the stocks at prices lower than their real, intrinsic value, makes him position himself for considerable gains once the market corrects the undervaluation. The method needs a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of business, involving debt levels, competitive advantages, and revenue streams.

No to High-debt companies

A significant factor in his investment strategies is an aversion to organizations with high debt levels. Instead, he seeks companies with stronger cash flows and manageable debt. The conservativeness shields his investments from risks linked with high leverage, especially during economic downturns, causing stable returns.

Market Timing

What needs to be acknowledged is the way Damani times his entry or exit from businesses, impeccably. He willingly buys stocks when the market shows pessimistic values and sells as per his interest. For example, his entry into some specific apparel or cement stocks during the time of market lows let him reap considerable gains with the recovery of these sectors.

Market Cycles

Damani’s interpretation and understanding of the market cycles significantly contribute to his success. Through effective studies levied on investor behavior and market patterns, he can anticipate market dynamic shifts. The capability of reading the market makes him adjust his strategies as per the prevailing economic scenario.

Business Fundamentals

The decisions he makes in his processes analyze business procedures to invest only in companies having strong management, sustainable advantages, and clear strategies for growth. Instead of market speculation, he identifies companies offering potential and stability, irrespective of conditions of market volatility.

Diversification

With important holdings in the investments and retail sectors, Damani’s portfolio remains diverse across different industries. Diversification helps in the mitigation of risks as poor performance of one stock or sector is compensated by the gains or stability of the rest. This counts as a classic strategy that served him well over the decades.

Network and Mentorship

A close-knit group consisting of seasoned investors as friends and mentors, including the famous Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, gives him a network providing him with robust exchanges of strategies and ideas, and refining his investment tactics and decisions. 

Conclusion

Several disciplined approaches happen to focus on value investing, fundamental analyses, and cautious approaches for debt as well as market timing, making a huge figure to emulate in the world of investment.

Investors who intend to mirror his success must understand and implement these principles as a step forward in earning significant returns in the volatile world of trading stocks. To further diversify and grow your investment, consider investing in unlisted shares on Altius Investech, a platform known for its promising opportunities.
