“We Feel We Were 10-15 Runs Short”: Rishabh Pant On LSG’s Narrow Loss To CSK

Published by Webster

Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant reflected on the five-wicket defeat against Chennai Super Kings, admitting that his team fell “10-15 runs short.” Pant’s own knock was a gritty 63 off 49 balls — his first fifty of the season — but it lacked the late-innings flourish that his side desperately needed. Walking in early after Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran were dismissed inside the Powerplay, Pant tried to consolidate and build partnerships with Mitchell Marsh and Ayush Badoni. While the foundation was there, the final ten overs produced only patches of acceleration. “We feel we were 10-15 runs short, we kept losing wickets, whenever momentum was there we kept losing wickets and we couldn’t get a partnership. the wicket was nice to bat on, stopping a bit, we could have got ten runs more. Definitely feeling better about my batting with every game … getting into rhythm,” Pant said after the match The real difference came in the middle overs, where CSK’s spinners stifled any progress. Ravindra Jadeja removed Marsh and later …

File image of Ayush Mhatre.© X (Twitter) Five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) might be targeting a 17-year-old batter in the IPL 2025 mega auction. CSK have reportedly invited Mumbai’s 17-year-old opener Ayush Mhatre for a selection trial before the auction. Reports suggest that none other than legendary India and CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was left impressed by Mhatre. The fifth round of the Ranji Trophy ends on November 16, giving CSK eight days to evaluate Mhatre if he comes for the trial. As per a report by The Times of India, Mhatre not only caught the eyes of CSK’s talent scouts, but also of MS Dhoni.

There is a six-day gap between the two. This would allow CSK ample time to evaluate Mhatre before the mega auction on November …

“I Am Indebted To MS Dhoni”: R Ashwin’s Humble Praise For Legendary Captain Ahead Of IPL 2024

Published by Webster

Overwhelmed by emotion and filled with gratitude at being grandly feted for hitting the 500-wicket mark in Tests, Ravichandaran Ashwin on Saturday recalled the one man he would forever be “indebted to” for showing faith in a “nobody” 13 years ago — his first IPL and India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. With 516 scalps in 100 Tests, Ashwin is a bonafide superstar in Indian cricket, just second behind the great Anil Kumble in the list of top Indian wicket-takers in the five-day format. But it was not the case back in 2008 when he was roped in as a local spinner by Chennai Super Kings. He did not get a game that year as the legendary Muttiah Muralitharan led their spin attack. Dhoni flung the new ball to Ashwin in the 2011 IPL final against Royal Challengers Bangalore and the then rookie off-spinner made an impact in the fourth ball itself, dismissing an in-form Chris Gayle. The same year he made his India debut under Dhoni, picking up the player of the match honours in …
