Mukesh Kumar stands tall at Delhi Capitals; sometimes, it appears he bowls wides deliberately in a crazy tactic

Mukesh Kumar stands tall at Delhi Capitals; sometimes, it appears he bowls wides deliberately in a crazy tactic

Published by Parlour News

Delhi Capitals is not exactly a reliable franchise to support. If you are one of their fans, more often than not, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is not a great experience, season in and season out. This season too, keeping in line with their performances over the years, they started well by winning their first two matches, but it didn’t take them long to come crashing down to the ground as they lost to Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings rather badly. But amid this see-saw, medium pacer Mukesh Kumar has been absolutely terrific. Mukesh Kumar has been simply outstanding this season. (PTI) There has not been a single game where Mukesh hasn’t left a good impression. In the team’s opening game against Lucknow Super Giants, he returned figures of 0/17 in three overs. Against Mumbai Indians, he got rid of Ryan Rickelton and Tilak Varma early on and finished with 2/26 in three overs. Against GT, a match that they should have won, he was expensive with figures of 2/55, but he wasn’t entirely …

IND vs SA: Arshdeep Singh notches up unwanted record of most wides bowled in an over in T20Is | Cricket News

India bowler Arshdeep Singh notched up the unwanted record of becoming the first bowler to bowl 7 wides in a T20I over. The unwanted stat was brought up in India’s 2nd T20I match against South Africa in Mullanpur on Thursday. The Punjab speedster did not have an ideal homecoming when bowling the 11th over when he was smacked for a six by Quinton de Kock off the very first ball. With the pressure mounting, Arshdeep bowled 7 wides in the over, ultimately conceding 18 runs from the over. This was also the joint longest over bowled by a full nation member bowler with Arshdeep joining Afghanistan’s Naveen-ul-Haq, both of whom bowled 13 deliveries. Naveen had also bowled 6 wides in the over he bowled back in 2024 vs Zimbabwe. South Africa’s Sisanda Magala comes next for a 12-ball over against Pakistan in 2021. Arshdeep’s over on Thursday was a perfect representation of India’s ordinary bowling efforts with Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram running riot over them. Only Varun Chakravarthy was the lone bright spot, …

SRH vs PBKS, What caught our Eye: Bhuvneshwar plots perfect Shikhar slay, Cummins has Bairstow’s no. & Unadkat’s last gasp stutter yielding 3 sixes, 3 wides | Ipl News

For a side that is flying high, Hyderabad’s issues with the ball in death overs persist. Apart from Pat Cummins, Hyderabad have Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan — two death overs specialists. But so far this season, they have looked a pale shadow of what they used to be. With Kumar struggling to execute his yorkers and Natarajan coming back from an injury, their efficacy has wavered at the death. Those yorkers which he used to land perfectly in the blockhole have deserted Kumar. As a result, Hyderabad have had to bank on Jaydev Unadkat to do the tough job. So far he has blown hot and cold at the death. And with 28 to defend off the final over chasing 183, he gave Hyderabad a nervy ending, conceding 26 runs including 3 sixes and 3 wides. Although Hyderabad will leave Mohali with two points, their troubles with death bowling seem to have no ending. A Fantastic Finish 🔥 Plenty happened in this nail-biter of a finish where the two teams battled till the end🤜🤛 …
