‘What he’s done, should strike fear into the opposition’: Kevin Pietersen, Sunil Gavaskar on CSK captain MS Dhoni

Indian batting legend Sunil Gawaska and former England batsman Kevin Peterson praised Duny’s performance, and the latter even stated that Duny’s recovery is a major concern for other teams. Duny did it again. In the most important match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Dhoni still needed 26 runs in CSK to start hitting the ball in the winning stage of about four games. Once again, in the typical Dhoni way, the CSK captain stretched the game to the final. Just when the game seemed likely to enter the Super Over, Dhoni defeated the SRH pacemaker Siddarth Kaul with his iconic 6 strokes to end the game. CSK defeated SRH with 6 wickets to reserve a place in the playoffs, and the Sunrisers became the first team to be officially eliminated from IPL 2021. Indian batting legend Sunil Gawaska and former England batsman Kevin Peterson praised Duny’s performance, and the latter even stated that Duny’s recovery is a major concern for other teams. “He (Doni) does this often. He takes it to the end. When supporters bit the nail-they also know he will do it. But that kind of anxiety, you will feel it. He has been in his career. Doing this many times,” Gavasaka said to Star Sports after the game. “Doni has been doing this for so many years, he has been doing, doing, doing. What he is doing now should make the opposition feel scared,” Peterson added. “He hasn’t been in form for two seasons, so if he starts to do this here now, then, my God, they do have a hand to win the trophy, they really did it. They are serious, in these very Under good conditions. “They got the Hazlewood effect and the Jadeja effect, and the opener was really good. So, if Dhoni starts to play and ends the game now, then other teams will have problems. Terrible proposal,” he signed.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
