  • Indian Premier League 2019
    VVS LAXMAN Published 3.4.19 The last ten days have reiterated just how significant a place the Indian Premier League has carved for itself on the cricke�ng landscape. Spectacular ac�on and stunning performances have brought the tournament to life right from the beginning, and I expect the next six weeks to be no less gripping. From our point of view, I am delighted at how well Hyderabad have bounced back from defeat in our opening match, against Kolkata. Even in that game, we were in control �ll the end of the 17th over of the chase, but Andre Russell took it away from us with brilliant ball-striking. Even though I was in the opposi�on dugout, I couldn’t help but marvel at how he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The beauty of our franchise is that the shoulders never droop, the heads never drop. There is too much experience, quality and class among the playing group for that to happen. As members of the support staff, our endeavour is to keep the players in a good mental space. But eventually, it is the players who have to deliver on the park, and that’s what they have done in the last two games. David Warner has been outstanding. There is li�le sign that he has been out of interna�onal cricket for a year. His work ethics are exemplary, and I can see the hunger and desire in his eyes. He is striking the ball as beau�fully as ever, and there is a calmness about him that is infec�ous.

  • 02, Jun 2016 the Lions Show in Saurashtra IPL Debutant Gujarat
    02, Jun 2016 The Lions show in Saurashtra IPL debutant Gujarat Lions almost scripted a fairy tale, they lost in the virtual semifinal, but they won many hearts not only in Rajkot but everywhere they played, but undoubtedly the foundation was laid at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium in Khanderi. A look at all their five matches which they played in one of the most magnificent stadium in the world… Match No 1 Lions off to a great start The home team started their campaign in Rajkot with a crushing seven-wicket win against Rising Pune Supergiants. It was billed as the match between MS Dhoni versus his boys as most of the Gujarat Lions players this year are former Dhoni’s team mates when he was leading the now disbanded Chennai Super Kings team. Batting first Supergiants looked set for a score in excess of 180, but a superb display of defensive bowling towards the end turned the contest in Lions' favour. Aaron Finch and Brendon McCullum then effectively killed the game by pillaging 62 in the Powerplay, during their chase of 164. MS Dhoni had pulled back some momentum for Supergiants by contributing to a 20-run last over in the first innings, but his bowlers threw it all away. Loose deliveries stacked up, and the Lions openers duly dispatched them. Four fours and two sixes off the seamers, RP Singh and Ishant Sharma, meant Dhoni turned to M Ashwin in the last over of the Powerplay, but Finch took the legspinner for four fours in a 19-run over.
