It was the return for MS Dhoni as the Chennai Super Kings skipper as they faced Sunrisers Hyderabad and the veteran wicket-keeper batsman added a major accolade to his name on Sunday.

Dhoni became the oldest Indian cricketer to captain a side in T20 cricket as he led the CSK team at the age of 40 years 298 days. The feat previously belonged to Rahul Dravid who captained Rajasthan Royals at 40 years and 268 days. Sunil Joshi, Anil Kumble and Sourav Ganguly are also part of the list.

Dhoni took over the CSK captaincy once again after Ravindra Jadeja stepped down from the position after the previous match. Jadeja became the skipper ahead of the 2022 season but a disappointing run in the tournament and a dip in personal form resulted in Dhoni taking charge once again.

"You will definitely see me in the yellow jersey [next year], whether this yellow jersey or some other yellow jersey, that's a different thing," MS Dhoni said during the toss ahead of the SRH encounter.

CSK are currently in ninth spot in the IPL points table with just two wins from eight matches and they have the second worst net run rate in the competition till now – better than only Mumbai Indians.

"The kind of catches we have dropped are not the ones you can practise. With the ball, we don't want to bowl big overs, 18 runs are okay but not 24-25 runs,” he explained.

IPL 2022: MS Dhoni breaks Rahul Dravid's impressive record on return as Chennai Super Kings skipper

Ruturaj Gaikwad created history by becoming the joint fastest Indian batsman to score 1000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he reached the massive milestone during the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. The opener equalled the record set by legend Sachin Tendulkar.

Gaikwad, who fell just one run short of a well-deserved century, was able to reach the milestone in just 31 matches – the same number of matches taken by Tendulkar.

In the process, he surpassed big names like Suresh Raina (34), Devdutt Pallikal (35) and Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant (35).

Gaikwad looked in brilliant form as he slammed 99 off just 57 balls with the help of six fours and six maximums. He fell agonisingly short of his second IPL century and as a result, he became the fifth batsman to be dismissed on 99 in IPL.

The other batsmen who missed out on their centuries by just one run are Virat Kohli, Prithvi Shaw, Ishan Kishan and West Indies international Chris Gayle.

The youngster stitched together an impressive 182-run partnership for the opening wicket on Sunday as Conway also scored 85 off just 55 balls. This was the best partnership for CSK in IPL history as they went past the 181-stand between Shane Watson and Faf Du Plessis against Punjab Kings.

IPL 2022: Lucknow Super Giants continue winning run with victory over Delhi Capitals

Jadeja became the skipper after Dhoni stepped down just before the start of the 2022 season but the disappointing run of the team and his personal form has been too much for Jadeja. As a result, veteran wicketkeeper batsman Dhoni is expected to lead the side for the remainder of the season.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Sami has claimed that he had bowled two deliveries over the 160 kmph mark but they were not recorded.

In a recent interview, Sami said that there were two occasions when his balls clocked 162 kmph and 164 kmph but as they were not recorded, the current record belongs to compatriot Shoaib Akhtar who achieved it against New Zealand in 2002.

"I bowled two balls at more than 160kmph in a match, one was 162 and the other was 164. After that, it was said that the bowling machine (speed gun) was not working. So, the balls were not counted," Sami told Paktv.tv.

According to an IANS report, Sami’s personal best is 156.4 kmph during against Zimbabwe in 2003.

Sami explained that bowlers who have breached the 160 kmph were able to do it a couple of times in their career and as a result, they cannot be expected to replicate that kind of pace more often.

"Even if you look at bowling history overall, the bowlers who have crossed the 160 kph-limited have done it only once or twice. It`s not like they kept doing it continuously" he said in the interview.

Indian fast bowler Umran Malik has been making headlines in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 with his express pace and a lot of experts are backing him to bowl over the 150 kmph mark.

Former Pakistan cricket team skipper Rashid Latif believes that Rishabh Pant can be the perfect choice to replace Rohit Sharma as the white-ball captain for India in the future. Latif went on to compare his ‘out-of-box’ thinking with greats like Mohammad Azharuddin, MS Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly while suggesting that the unique way of thinking makes him a perfect candidate.

“KL Rahul is a good option. He has led the Punjab side in the IPL efficiently in the past. But I think India should look at a younger option in white-ball cricket. Maybe someone like Rishabh Pant, if he is able to maintain his fitness,” Latif said on his official YouTube channel.

“Players like Sourav Ganguly, Mohammad Azharuddin, MS Dhoni were different, they used to think out-of-the-box. Rishabh Pant is similar in that way, he is unique and has an out-of-the-box approach," he added while discussing India’s options as replacement for Rohit as skipper.

Latif also picked Hardik Pandya as another option for the white-ball captaincy but added that it depends on his fitness and how consistently he can keep bowling. "Otherwise, if he can bowl consistently, even Hardik Pandya is a good option for India in white-ball captaincy,” Latif said.

Former Pakistan cricketer picks two stars who can replace Rohit Sharma as India's white-ball skipper

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League standings after thumping Leeds United 4-0 at Elland Road on Saturday, a match in which the champions were made to work harder than the scoreline suggested.

Liverpool had regained top spot earlier in the day with a 1-0 win at Newcastle United, putting pressure on City to respond against a Leeds side battling to avoid relegation this season.

An early goal settled City`s nerves, with Spanish midfielder Rodri glancing a header into the net to give the visitors the lead with 13 minutes on the clock.

Leeds kept the pressure on, with a raucous crowd doing everything in their power to make life difficult for City, but Nathan Ake`s goal in the 54th minute effectively ended any hope the home fans had of getting anything from the match.

Leeds continued to miss chances before City put the game to bed 12 minutes from time as Gabriel Jesus continued his fine form in front of goal with another strike before Fernandinho put the icing on the cake with a stoppage-time fourth.

City`s fourth victory in a row in all competitions sent them back to the top on 83 points from 34 games, one clear of Liverpool, while Leeds slipped to 17th, five points above the drop zone but having played two more games than Everton in 18th.

On paper Leeds looked up against it, taking on a City side who travelled to Yorkshire unbeaten away in the league since a 1-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur on the opening weekend, having been thrashed 7-0 in the reverse fixture early in the season.

But with City boss Pep Guardiola making five changes to his side with Wednesday`s Champions League semi-final, second-leg clash at Real Madrid in mind, which they will start with a 4-3 lead, the visitors looked a little disjointed from the off.

After surviving early pressure from the hosts, Rodri timed his run to perfection to get on the end of Ilkay Gundogan`s free-kick and break the deadlock. It was City`s 17th goal from a set piece this term – more than any other Premier League side.

The champions continued to misplace passes to give Leeds plenty of moments of promise, but poor finishing and a wayward final pass meant the home side could not capitalise.

City continued to look nervy after the break but Leeds still lacked that killer instinct with another goal from a corner, this time stabbed home by Ake, punishing the profligate hosts.

Jesus` strike 12 minutes from time - his sixth in his last three games in all competitions - meant City could relax with their return leg at Real to come in midweek, safe in the knowledge they remain the team to catch in the Premier League.

A rare goal from Fernandinho, who drilled the ball home from the edge of the box in added time, completed a perfect afternoon for the reigning champions against a side who will wonder how they came away having been beaten so comprehensively.

But with City boss Pep Guardiola making five changes to his side with Wednesday`s Champions League semi-final, second-leg clash at Real Madrid in mind, which they will start with a 4-3 lead, the visitors looked a little disjointed from the off. After surviving early pressure from the hosts, Rodri timed his run to perfection to get on the end of Ilkay Gundogan`s free-kick and break the deadlock. It was City`s 17th goal from a set piece this term – more than any other Premier League side. The champions continued to misplace passes to give Leeds plenty of moments of promise, but poor finishing and a wayward final pass meant the home side could not capitalise. City continued to look nervy after the break but Leeds still lacked that killer instinct with another goal from a corner, this time stabbed home by Ake, punishing the profligate hosts.

A rare goal from Fernandinho, who drilled the ball home from the edge of the box in added time, completed a perfect afternoon for the reigning champions against a side who will wonder how they came away having been beaten so comprehensively.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings, IPL 2022: Head-to-head, stats, trivia and predicted XIs

Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler has been the star for them with the bat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and he added another major accolade to his already illustrious career.

Buttler, who scored another half century against Mumbai Indians on Saturday, broke former Rajasthan Royals skipper Ajinkya Rahane’s record of scoring most runs for the side in one season.

The record was established in 2012 when Rahane scored 560 runs in the season at an impressive average of 40. However, Buttler was able to surpass the record in just nine games as he took a huge stride forward in the race for the orange cap as he has already scored 566 runs this season.

It has been a season to remember for the England international as he has slammed three hundreds and three fifties and his performance has been a major reason behind RR’s impressive run.

Buttler currently has a solid average of 70.75 and an equally impressive strike rate of 155.07.

On Saturday, Buttler scored 67 off 52 deliveries with the help of five fours and four sixes. Although the other batsmen were not able to score more than 25, Buttler was excellent against the MI bowlers and he was the main reason why Rajasthan Royals were able to post a total above 150.

Hrithik Shokeen and Riley Meredith were the pick of the bowlers for Mumbai Indians as they took two wickets each. The five-time champions were able to produce a disciplined performance with the ball as they look for their first win of this year’s competition.

Real Madrid won a record-extending 35th LaLiga title after two first-half goals from Rodrygo spurred them to a 4-0 home victory over mid-table Espanyol on Saturday.

The win also made their Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti the first manager to capture titles in each of Europe’s top five leagues — England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France.

Rodrygo`s double put Real 2-0 up at the break before Marco Asensio added a third after 55 minutes and LaLiga top scorer Karim Benzema sealed the points in the 81st.

Captain Benzema lifted the trophy after coming off the bench late in the second half as Ancelotti rested several regular starters with Real hosting Manchester City in their Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday trailing 4-3.

Real have 81 points with four games to go. They are 17 points ahead of second-placed Sevilla and 18 clear of Barcelona, who have a game in hand, and needed a point against Espanyol to clinch the title with almost a month of the season remaining.

It was a record-breaking day for defender Marcelo, who won his 24th piece of silverware with Real to leapfrog Gento as the player with the most trophy wins in the club`s 120-year history.
