In the middle order, Jaffer picked Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan who has scored over 10,000 runs in ODIs, Pakistan legend Younis Khan who was a stalwart in Test cricket and West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul who was a top performer for his side for a number of years.

When asked about the reason behind his selections, Jaffer pointed out that he believes Chanderpaul was overshadowed by Brian Lara while Younis did not get his due because of the presence of a massively talented player like Inzamam-ul-Haq in the Pakistan team at the same time.

When it comes to the lower middle order, Jaffer picked ‘Mr Cricket’ Michael Hussey, England all-rounder Paul Collingwood and former Pakistan international Abdul Razzaq. Jaffer said that Hussey was quite underrated even after scoring huge amount of runs across formats and he went on to hail Razzaq as one of the best all-rounders in the world when it comes to white ball cricket.

Former England international Graeme Swann believes that Punjab Kings opener Shikhar Dhawan is enjoying the form of his life and he hailed the veteran batsman as ‘Mr IPL’.

Dhawan, who was picked by Punjab Kings for INR 82.5 million after a couple of good seasons with Delhi Capitals, is currently the second highest run-scorer in IPL history. Dhawan also holds the record of being the only Indian cricketer in the history of T20 cricket to hit 1000 fours in the format.

IPL 2022: 'He is Mr IPL' - Former England spinner heaps praises on Punjab Kings batsman

Chennai Super Kings were dealt a major blow in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as their big money signing Deepak Chahar was ruled of the tournament due to injury. The fast bowler, who was picked for INR 140 million in the mega auction, suffered a quadriceps injury during India’s 3rd T20 International against West Indies and that injury has now ruled him out of the ongoing competition.

There was some hope for the CSK franchise as Chahar was undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) but on Friday, he confirmed that he will not take part in IPL 2022. There is more worry for the cricketer as he can also end up missing the 2022 T20 World Cup.

"We have left it to the team management and they have not come back to us so far. We do not find an Indian bowler of Deepak's calibre," Viswanathan told Cricbuzz about the Deepak Chahar issue.

CSK CEO opens up about Deepak Chahar's potential replacements after pacer gets ruled out of IPL 2022

It was a difficult outing for Mitchell Marsh in his debut for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as he could manage just 14 runs in 24 balls. The Australia international looked completely out of form and he ended up facing 11 dot balls to put his own team under pressure.

Former Indian cricket team opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who was a part of the 1983 World Cup winning side, was not happy with Marsh’s performance at all and said that he should have just ‘retired out’ like Ravichandran Ashwin did earlier in the season for Rajasthan Royals.

"Come on Mitch, you should have thought out or just said retired out. That's the best way out, like what Ashwin did, because you had a deep batting order and by the time the run rate had climbed up to 13-14 runs per over, Rishabh Pant tried desperately, but the villain for me is Mitch Marsh," Srikkanth told Crichunt Youtube channel.

The required run rate kept creeping up as Marsh was unable to score quickly and although Rishabh Pant played a couple of shots towards the end, DC slumped to a defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday.

"Frankly speaking, they were off to a good start and David Warner was very brilliant and, because of the pressure created by Mitch Marsh, Warner got out and Pant had to go after every ball and he also got out," he added.

Earlier in the encounter, Dinesh Karthik played a blinder to guide RCB to 189/5 after they lost their five wickets with not even 100 runs on the board.

The SRH pace unit comprising the likes of T Natarajan (3/37), Umran Malik (2/27), Marco Jansen (1/26) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/37) restricted KKR for 175 for 8.

Tripathi, who smashed 71 off 37, and Aiden Markram (68 not out of 36) then produced hostile knocks to take SRH to their third successive win with 13 balls to spare.

For KKR, Nitish Rana scored 54 while Andre Russell was unbeaten on 49. SRH now have three wins from five games while it was KKR's third loss in six games.

With the green track not aiding the spinners, Sunrisers' Tripathi took the KKR's spin-heavy bowling unit to the cleaners. Playing against his previous franchise, Tripathi smashed Varun Chakravarthy for a four followed by two back-to-back sixes in the eighth over, that yielded 18 runs.

He brought his maiden fifty this season off just 21 balls.

Tripathy found an able ally in Markram, who smashed six fours and four sixes and when the former was out he took the onus upon himself to take his side over the line.

Earlier opting to field, South African Jansen used the bounce and swing on offer really well to draw first blood as he sent Aaron Finch (7), who is playing his first match of the season, back to the hut in the second over.

Natarajan then bowled a sensational fifth over, snaring two wickets. Natarajan first bowled a brilliant length ball, pitching just outside off to account for Venkatesh Iyer (6), who looked unsettled during his stay, with the flamboyant Sunil Narine (6) following his teammate a couple balls later as KKR slumped to 31 for 3.

Kane Williamson introduced spin but left-armer Jagadeesha Suchith (1/32) looked rusty and struggled with his line.

Young Malik then struck twin blows, snapping the wickets of Shreyas Iyer (28) in the 10th over and Sheldon Jackson (7).

Noticing Iyer, who looked uncomfortable facing Malik's raw pace, shuffling across the pitch, the 22-year-old fired a scorching 148.8kmph yorker in the blockhole to cut short the Knight Riders captain's innings.

However, Rana kept the score board ticking, hitting singles and boundaries alike in his 36-ball knock. Rana smashed six fours and two maximums.

He was involved in 39-run stands with skipper Iyer and Russell each. However, his stay in the middle was cut short by Natarajan in the 18th over as SRH broke the potentially dangerous partnership.

IPL 2022: Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram guide Sunrisers Hyderabad to victory over Kolkata Knight Riders

Dinesh Karthik batted with authority in his unbeaten 34-ball 66 before the bowlers staged a fine comeback as Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Delhi Capitals by 16 runs in the Indian Premier League here on Saturday.

Karthik blazed away after Glenn Maxwell hit seven fours and two sixes in his 55 off 34 deliveries to take RCB to 189 for five. In reply, the Capitals could only manage 173 for seven despite David Warner's sensational 38-ball 66.

It was RCB's fourth win in six games and they are now third on the points table while Delhi slumped to their third loss in five outings.

Chasing 190, DC were off to a flier with Warner and young Prithvi Shaw (16) pummelling the RCB bowlers into submission, the duo racing to 50 before Mohammed Siraj dismissed the Indian.

Warner was then joined by compatriot Mitchell March, who was playing his first match for the Capitals.

The all-rounder, who is coming off a hip injury, looked rusty and struggled to hit the ball. But that didn't dampen Warner's spirits as the southpaw continued to strike the ball with perfection as his family cheered him on from the stands.

The 35-year-old cracked five sixes and four fours before his fiery knock was brought to an end by Wanindu Hasaranga.

The Australian's wicket signalled a shift in momentum as RCB made a strong comeback with Delhi losing a flurry of wickets.

First, Marsh's painstaking knock 14 off 24 balls came to an end thanks to a bizarre run out.

Josh Hazlewood (3/28), who was exceptional, then bowled a brilliant 15th over, dismissing Rovman Powell for a first ball duck and then accounting for Lalit Yadav (1).

Delhi's hopes were pinned on the big-hitting Pant (34), who did hit some lusty blows, but his whirlwind innings was brought to an end by a one-handed blinder from Virat Kohli.

Shardul and Axar Patel managed to play some big shots but the RCB bowlers had other plans as DC fell short.

Earlier, the Capitals' bowlers performed as a well-oiled unit initially with Shardul Thakur (1/27), Khaleel Ahmed (1/36), Axar Patel (1/29) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/46) doing well but bled runs in the slog overs as Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed (32 not out) added 74 in the last five.

Karthik, who has been revelling in his role as a finisher this season, hit five fours and as many sixes in his sensational knock.

DC made full use of the coin landing in their favour as they put pressure on RCB early on with tight fielding and good bowling.

The Delhi bowlers managed to snare two wickets in the powerplay overs while giving away 40 runs.

Thakur produced a beautiful inswinger that curled into Anju Rawat (0) to give Delhi the early breakthrough. Khaleel Ahmed then made it two as he accounted for the dangerous Faf du Plessis.

Lalit Yadav effected Virat Kohli's run out with a brilliant direct hit to compound RCB's woes. It was then that Maxwell took the onus upon himself as he pummelled Kuldeep Yadav for 23 runs in the ninth over.

The all-rounder hit top gear as he smashed the ball to the fence twice and over it a couple of times. His half-century came soon after as he continued to hit the Delhi bowlers all round the park.

However, Kuldeep extracted his revenge a few overs later as the ball caught the Australian's bat's toe and Lalit Yadav completed the regulation catch.

With Maxwell gone, Karthik and Shahbaz joined forces. The wicketkeeper made batting look effortless as he cracked four boundaries and two maximum off Mustafizur to plunder 28 runs off the 18th over.

IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians become third franchise to register unwanted record with defeat against LSG

Cristiano Ronaldo`s 50th club career hat-trick earned below-par Manchester United a 3-2 Premier League victory over Norwich City on Saturday amid scenes of fan protest at Old Trafford.

With Tottenham Hotspur losing 1-0 at home to Brighton &amp; Hove Albion earlier on Saturday, the door was open for United to close on the Champions League qualification places with victory over bottom side Norwich and they just about took advantage.

A first half double from veteran striker Ronaldo seemingly put the hosts on course for a comfortable win in the sunshine, with Norwich struggling to keep pace.

However, Kieran Dowell`s goal out of nowhere in first-half stoppage time got the visitors back in the contest, before Finnish forward Teemu Pukki completed the Norwich comeback to stun Old Trafford into silence seven minutes after the break.

Fans who protested against the club`s owners ahead of the match were singing "you`re not fit to wear the shirt" in the second half as their team were second best to a team seven points adrift of the Premier League safety zone.

United`s France midfielder Paul Pogba was booed by his own fans as he was substituted before Ronaldo stole the show once again with a sensational winner 14 minutes from time to drag United out of the mire once more.

The win, United`s first in four games in all competitions, moved them above Arsenal, who lost 1-0 at Southampton, into fifth on 54 points from 32 matches, with Spurs now just three points in front. Norwich stay bottom on 21 points.
