The cricket world is buzzing with excitement as the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Pakistan Super League (PSL) are in full swing. Both leagues have provided us with thrilling matches and unforgettable moments. However, there are a few stories that have caught our attention and we are here to bring them to you in our DRS segment.
Let’s start with the ongoing controversy between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) curator, Pandurang Salgaonkar. In a shocking turn of events, Salgaonkar was caught on camera discussing the pitch and sharing information with two undercover reporters, who posed as bookies. This has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the game and has put a question mark on the upcoming match between KKR and Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS). The BCCI has suspended Salgaonkar and has ordered an inquiry into the matter. This incident has once again highlighted the need for strict measures to prevent corruption in cricket.
Moving on to the much-awaited clash between the IPL and PSL winners, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Peshawar Zalmi (PZ) respectively. The two teams faced each other in a friendly match in Dubai on Saturday. It was a treat for the cricket fans as they got to witness some of the biggest names in both leagues on the same field. The match was a close one, with PZ emerging as the winners by 13 runs. This match not only provided entertainment but also showed the camaraderie between the players of both leagues. It was a moment of unity and sportsmanship, proving that cricket is a game that brings people together.
In other news, there are rumors about former Indian captain, MS Dhoni, considering retirement from international cricket after the upcoming ICC World Cup in 2019. The speculations started when Dhoni was left out of the T20I series against West Indies and Australia. However, the 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has not made any official statement about his retirement plans. Fans and experts are divided on this matter, with some believing that Dhoni still has a lot to offer to the Indian team, while others feel that it might be the right time for him to hang up his boots. Only time will tell what Dhoni’s decision will be, but one thing is for sure, his contribution to Indian cricket will always be cherished and remembered.
On the international front, the New Zealand cricket team has been making headlines with their impressive performance against Pakistan in the ongoing Test series. The Kiwis have already won the first Test and are on their way to a series victory. This is a significant achievement for the team, especially after their disappointing performance in the recent limited-overs series against India. The Black Caps have shown great determination and resilience, and their captain Kane Williamson has been leading from the front with his exceptional batting skills. This series win has boosted their confidence and has put them in a strong position for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.
In the women’s cricket, the Indian team has been on a roll with their consistent performances. They recently defeated Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series and are now gearing up for the T20I series against the same opponent. The Indian women’s team has been performing exceptionally well in all formats of the game, and their captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, has been a key player in their success. The team has been receiving a lot of support and recognition, which is a positive sign for the growth of women’s cricket in India.
