Jasprit Bumrah was adjudged the player of the match for impressive figures of 2/14

Mumbai Indians won an unprecedented fourth Indian Premier League (IPL) title with a thrilling one-run victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2019 final in Hyderabad on Sunday. Sachin Tendulkar, who is serving as Mumbai Indians ‘Icon’ since his retirement, said he was at the “top of the world” after the Rohit Sharma-led team clinched the IPL trophy. The former India batsman credited fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for Mumbai Indians’ success, adding that he hopes for an even better showing from the 25-year-old pacer in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2019.

“Bumrah was fantastic,” Tendulkar told Yuvraj Singh in a video interview shared by the IPL on Twitter.

‘Bumrah, world’s best’ – Sachin and Yuvi@sachin_rt and @YUVSTRONG12 were unanimous in their opinion of @Jaspritbumrah93 , while weighing in on @mipaltan‘s 3rd #VIVOIPL final win over their arch-rivals. #MIvCSK By @28anand & @RajalArora

Tendulkar asked Yuvraj, who was bought by Mumbai Indians in the last stage of the auction ahead of IPL 2019, “What makes him such a special bowler?”.

Yuvraj replied: “I think his action is a bit awkward. It’s tough to understand what pace is coming. He’s bowling the best I’ve seen in his career.”

Tendulkar agreed to the left-handed batsman and said: “Bumrah is the best bowler in the world. And the best is yet to come, hopefully.”

India will now prepare for the World Cup 2019, starting on May 30 in the UK.

Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, India will start their campaign against South Africa at The Rose Bowl, Southampton, on June 5.

Ahead of the World Cup, India will play two warm-up matches against New Zealand and Bangladesh on May 25 and May 28 respectively.

India have won the World Cup twice in 1983 and 2011.

India beat Australia ‘A’ 3-0, Rupinder, Sumit sign

May 10, 2019 by Nasheman


Perth, May 10 (UNI) The Indian men’s hockey team thrashed Australia ‘A’ 3-0 in their on-going Australia tour here on Friday.

Senior drag-flicker Rupinder Pal Singh scored the first goal of the match in 6th minute, while young striker Sumit Kumar Junior (12?, 13?) hit the Australia’s team goal post twice.

Manpreet Singh-led India showed their aggression throughout the match. The visitors dominated the first quarter with ball possession and constantly looked to break into the striking circle. The tactic worked as three goals were scored in the very first quarter putting the home team on the back-foot.

Match’s first goal came in the 6th minute when the team won their first penalty corner (PC) of the match.

Experienced drag-flicker Rupinder, who is making a comeback after nearly eight-months of layoff due to injury, showed good nick, as he timed the flick well with good power and speed to send it past the Australia ‘A’ goalkeeper.

Defender Harmanpreet Singh helped India to score their second goal as his skillful tackling saw Australia ‘A’ lose ball possession which led to India’s second goal. It was a fine assist by Skipper Singh to Sumit Kumar who converted a superb field goal in the 12th minute.

The visitors wreaked havoc in the first quarter, leaving the home side stunned.

India converted their third goal in the 13th minute when striker Akashdeep Singh set-up the goal scored by Sumit.

India, who dominated the opposition in the first 15-minutes, displayed their defecive skills, keeping the home side’s attackers at bay.

Harmanpreet Singh remained the cynosure of Indian defence as he dispossession Australian ball-carrier on several occasions that broke their rhythm.

The Aussie team had the lone goal-scoring opportunity in the second quarter when they created a PC but India goalkeeper Krishan Pathak denied them the goal. The following two quarter saw India defended their score-line with solid defence that ensured they secured a second successive win on the tour.

Indian men’s team Chief Coach Graham Reid expressed his satisfaction over the team performance.
“It was a very good first quarter with the basics right. We needed that first game (against Western Australia Thundersticks) to get used to the pitch. After a 3-0 lead, it was important we stayed focused on the process,” he said.

“The second and third quarter was tighter. I was happy with the things we have been working on, we created a lot of opportunities and I believe we can still do better in our finishing,” the coach added.

In their first assignment under new coach Reid, this is India’s second straight win in Australia.

Now, India will play their next game on May 13. The Australia had seven national team players.

DC eyes maiden IPL final against Defending champ CSK

May 9, 2019 by Nasheman


Visakhapatnam, May 9 (UNI) Coming from a win in the IPL Eliminator, Delhi Capitals will look to win and seal their place on May 12 final and as they face Defending champions Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2019 at the ACA-VDCA Stadium on Friday.
Delhi Capitals will enter this match after a great win against SRH in the eliminator whereas CSK lost the first qualifier match against MI.
Delhi will create history if they win against CSK as they are the only side to have never played an IPL final.
DC’s young batting unit have done a remarkable job in this year’s IPL and somehow managed to score the runs whenever the team needed them.
In the last match against SRH, Pant played a superb knock of 49 runs in 21 balls in a high-pressure situation and helped DC in getting over the line. Another young batsman Prithvi Shaw too played an important innings of 56 and gave signals of returning in form.
India opener Shikhar Dhawan is also in great form and has scored runs freely at the top in the powerplay overs.
Apart from Shikhar, Skipper Shreyas Iyer too has played a couple of match-winning knocks and has led from the front.
In bowling, DC fast bowler including Trent Boult and Ishant Sharma, did a good job in the absence of Kagiso Rabada and were well supported by Keemo Paul, who picked up three wickets. Veteran spinner Amit Mishra and Axar Patel also did well against SRH.
On the other hand, Defending champions Chennai Super Kings had a bad loss against MI in the Qualifier 1 and will look to bounce back in this match. CSK also have the experience of playing the big matches, having won three titles besides being runners-up four times.
CSK captain Dhoni who is good form will expect a better performance from his batsmen after the disappointment against Mumbai Indians.
CSK’s top-order has been their concern as they haven’t fired consistently. Opener Shane Watson has not been among the run scorer ever since smashing a 53-ball 96 against Sunrisers on April 23. The likes of Suresh Raina, Faf du Plessis Ambati Rayudu will be also the key factor in this match.
Bowling has been CSK’s strong point so far this season. The responsibility will be again on the young pacer Deepak Chahar to pick up early wickets and Imran Tahir the second highest-wicket taker this season after Kagiso Rabada will look to carry forward his great form.
Veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh, Ravindra Jadeja and DJ Bravo will be raring to continue their magic with the ball.
The winner of the Qualifier 2 will face Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2019 final in Hyderabad on Sunday.

India hosting U-17 FIFA Women’s World Cup will encourage young Punjab girls take up sports’

May 8, 2019 by Nasheman


Ludhiana, May 8 : Gokulam Kerala FC striker Manisha, who has been turning heads with her performances in the ongoing season of the Hero India Women’s League believes that India hosting the 2020 U-17 FIFA Women’s World Cup would “help young girls from Punjab take up the sport.”
“It feels great that the IWL is being held in Punjab. This will help raise awareness about women’s football in the state. The young girls in Punjab can watch the matches and learn more about the game,” said Manisha.
Manisha may be banging in the goals from the front, but she was not always a striker. Back in the days when she played in the India U-17 team, she used to play as a left winger.

In the AFC U-19 Championship Qualifiers, she played as an attacking midfielder, while Senior National Team coach Maymol Rocky promoted her to the position of a striker in recent times.

“When I’m on the left, I always try to go back and help my win back, and then run forward to attack once we get the ball,” she said. “When I play in the midfield, I always need to keep the position of the opposition midfielders in mind. Especially when we don’t have the ball, I have to keep tracking them.”

Umpire Damaged Door After Argument With Kohli, Under BCCI Scanner

May 7, 2019 by Nasheman

English umpire Nigel Llong could face the BCCI’s scrutiny for allegedly damaging the door of a stadium room after an argument with Virat Kohli but the Indian board is unlikely to remove him as an official for the IPL final on 12 May .

Umpire Llong reportedly lost his cool after being confronted by Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli over a contentious no ball call.
Umpire Llong reportedly lost his cool after being confronted by Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli over a contentious no ball call.

Llong reportedly lost his cool after being confronted by Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Kohli over a contentious no ball call against Sunrisers Hyderabad during an IPL match on Saturday, 4 May, in Bengaluru.

According to reports, the ICC Elite Panel official kicked the door of the umpires’ room during the innings break and damaged it.

A BCCI official told PTI that Llong might have some explaining to do but the matter will not cost him his place as a designated umpire for the IPL final to be held in Hyderabad.

The BCCI, it is learnt, is in a dilemma on whether to even consider taking such a step “for a moment’s indiscretion”.

In Bengaluru, Karnataka State Cricket Association secretary R Sudhakar Rao said the KSCA has demanded action against Llong. Rao, however, did say that the 50-year-old paid for the damage caused.“We have reported the matter to the Committee of Administrators (COA) and hopefully action will be taken against Nigel Llong. If the players are punished for their misdemeanour and fined their match fees then why not the umpires.”R Sudhakar Rao

“I didn’t speak to umpire Llong but I spoke to match referee Narayanan Kutty. I am hopeful COA will take action,” he added.

Llong paid Rs 5,000 after he was confronted by the KSCA officials and had demanded a receipt of the payment.

Llong has stood in 56 Tests, 123 ODIs and 32 T20 Internationals in his career and will be standing in the upcoming World Cup in the United Kingdom, starting 30 May.
