Kiwi speedster Trent Boult gave a rousing start to Mumbai Indians in the final of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 against Delhi Capitals on Tuesday as the left-arm speedster dismissed Marcus Stoinis off the first delivery of the match. With the dismissal, Boult surpassed the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Zaheer Khan and Praveen Kumar to achieve a new record in IPL.&nbsp;

Boult, with the wicket of Stoinis, has the most wickets in the first over of an IPL season. Boult has picked up eight wickets in the first over of IPL 2020. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is next in the list with six wickets in IPL 2016 whereas Zaheer Khan had five first-over wickets to his name in IPL 2012. Praveen Kumar had five first-over scalps in IPL 2013.&nbsp;

<h2>Most wickets in the first over of an IPL season:</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Trent Boult - 8 in 2020*</li>
	<li>Bhuvneshwar Kumar - 6 in 2016</li>
	<li>Zaheer Khan - 5 in 2012</li>
	<li>Praveen Kumar - 5 in 2013</li>
</ul>

Despite losing Marcus Stoinis in the very first delivery of IPL 2020 final, Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane continued with the run-flow. But it was Boult again who dismissed Ajinkya Rahane in what was a soft dismissal. After losing two wickets within three overs of the match, Delhi Capitals must focus on rebuilding their innings or else it might be the fifth IPL trophy for Mumbai Indians.&nbsp;

"We always wanted somebody who could get those wickets for us early in the powerplay with the new ball. We looked across the world and, obviously, it is a no-brainer that he is the best bowler with the new ball when it comes to swinging the new ball back into the batsmen, and to a left-hander taking the ball away. He is the best in the business,” Rohit said ahead of the IPL 2020 final.

"We always wanted him and luckily we got him traded from Delhi and he has not disappointed us. He has bowled well with the new ball and also in the middle and the back-end. He is a great asset to have in the squad and hope he can do it one more time for us," said Sharma.

Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas Iyer on Tuesday won the toss and elected to bat first against Mumbai Indians in what promises to be a cracking final of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> at the Dubai International Stadium.

While Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have faced each other thrice in IPL 2020, the Mumbai outfit has come out victorious in each occasion. However, Mumbai Indians have never won the final of IPL when batting second and that could be the reason behind DC opting to bat first.

Iyer further said that the pitch looked amazing to bat on while praising Mumbai Indians for the brand of cricket they have played for many years. He concluded that Delhi Capitals have nothing to lose and want to enjoy the evening in what is their first-ever final in IPL history.

<h2>The team atmosphere is really motivated: Shreyas Iyer</h2>

“We'll bat. It really worked out pretty well in the last game. When you have a really good total on the board the bowling gets a lot of confidence. We've seen it through the tournament and in a big final, runs on the board helps. The wicket also looks amazing to bat on. They have been champions through the years and even the way they've been playing this season. We have nothing to lose, we have to embrace it and have no regrets at the end of it. The team atmosphere is really motivated, we are in a good mood and have to enjoy the day. We are sticking with the same team,” Iyer said at the toss.

IPL 2020: 'We always wanted him' - Rohit Sharma 'lucky' to have Trent Boult in Mumbai Indians

Australian great Steve Waugh on Tuesday said he was disappointed that Virat Kohli will miss three Tests against Australia to be at the birth of his first child after being granted paternity leave by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). While Waugh was disappointed by Kohli missing three of the four Tests against Australia, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan said people need to respect Kohli’s decision and appreciate that there is life beyond cricket.

The Indian skipper and his Bollywood superstar wife Anushka Sharma are expecting their first child in January with Kohli returning back to Indian from Australia after the first Test in Adelaide, which commences on December 17.

Kohli’s absence has come as a huge blow to broadcasters and cricket authorities are already feeling the effects in a pandemic affected year.&nbsp;

"I'm a little bit disappointed he's not going to be there -- and a bit surprised," former skipper Waugh, who played 168 Tests, told AFP.

"This was really shaping up as one the key series of his whole career after he's achieved just about everything. But obviously family comes first."

"It's a bit like a couple of years ago when India won without (David) Warner or (Steve) Smith in the side," he said.

"You really want to win against the best possible opposition, particularly when this is like the heavyweight title fight."

Whereas Irfan Pathan is of the view that people should understand that family is important and there is life beyond cricket. However, he admitted that Kohli not being there with the team will have a huge impact on Team India. Irfan further backed Rohit Sharma to lead the side in the Test series, in the absence of Kohli, as he said that Rohit is a proven leader.&nbsp;

“Virat Kohli not being there will have a huge impact on the team but you have to respect his decision. We have to accept and appreciate life beyond cricket, family is very important.

“On the field, it is bound to make a massive difference and it is very tough for anyone to fill his shoes. The way he has performed over the years and in all conditions.

“Nothing against Rahane but Rohit has to captain. He is a proven leader and has the required experience. His role as an opener will be equally crucial. He is the guy you want to play in Australia. I remember ODI series in 2008 and he was new but did quite well on Australian pitches. He will be raring to go after the injury,” Irfan Pathan told PTI.

India are due leave this week for Australia, where they will spend two weeks in quarantine in Sydney before the first one-day international on November 27.

The former Australian skipper emphasized that if Delhi Capitals rectify their mistakes in the previous defeats to Mumbai Indians then there is "no doubt that we'll win".

Delhi Capitals had an exemplary first half of IPL 2020 but fizzled off as the playoffs approached. After losing the Qualifier 1 to Mumbai Indians, they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 to seal their first-ever final in IPL history.&nbsp;

"The other thing about Mumbai is that they've played some pretty fearless cricket, some high-risk cricket certainly in the way they've batted," said Ponting.

"We know they rely on Trent Boult with the new bowl to take wickets for them – so if we can get that part right, and if they just have a few things go against them, and we execute and put them under pressure, then I'm sure the result can change."

Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp united to fight for a U-turn to the Premier League's three-substitution rule after Manchester City and Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw on Sunday.

&nbsp;A share of the points between the sides that have combined to win the title for the past three seasons leaves Liverpool in third just a point off the top, while City sit five points further back in 11th but with a game in hand.

A flying start from Liverpool was rewarded with Mohamed Salah's 13th-minute penalty, but Gabriel Jesus levelled for Guardiola's men before City captain Kevin De Bruyne pulled a penalty wide three minutes before half-time.

After a pulsating first 45 minutes, the tempo eased off in the second with Liverpool suffering an injury blow when Trent Alexander-Arnold was forced off with a calf problem.

Guardiola and Klopp have been outspoken advocates of the use of five substitutes, which was used in the Premier League at the end of last season and is being used in all other major leagues in Europe and the Champions League this season.

However, the Premier League's top teams lost a vote for it to remain for the 2020/21 season with fears it only serves to benefit the clubs with bigger squads.

"We speak about how we have to fight again and again about five substitutions," said Guardiola when asked about the subject of his post-match conversation with Klopp.

"All around the world there is five substitutions. Here we believe we are a special league with just three players, we don't protect the players.

"Look at Trent Alexander-Arnold, an international English player, he is injured. That's why it is a disaster.

"With this calendar which comes from a special year before, I will demand, if the people allow my voice, five substitutions have to come back for the players, the managers, everyone to do it. If not, it's difficult to sustain it."

Klopp accused Premier League CEO Richard Masters of a "lack of leadership" over the matter. "It's not an advantage, it's a necessity," added the Liverpool boss.

<h2>- Klopp's front four -</h2>

Klopp's brave team selection with Diogo Jota joining Roberto Firmino, Salah and Sadio Mane in a front four was rewarded with a blistering start from the defending champions.

Salah smashed home from the penalty spot to open the scoring after Kyle Walker upended Mane.

"It was a super football game form all points of view," said Klopp. "Two top teams ready for a massive fight. The energy of both teams tonight was incredible. After 10-15 minutes everybody was already breathing heavily."

City, though, managed to compose themselves after going behind and pick the holes in the two-man Liverpool midfield that Klopp's attacking approach left exposed.

Jesus showed why City have missed a natural striker for most of the season with both he and Sergio Aguero sidelined by injury, producing a stunning finish to level on 31 minutes.

The Brazilian flicked De Bruyne's driven pass beyond Alexander-Arnold before prodding beyond his international teammate Alisson Becker.

City were now in the ascendancy as De Bruyne drilled a low shot inches wide, but the normally brilliant Belgian let Liverpool off the hook just before half-time.

Joe Gomez was penalised for handling inside the area after a VAR review. But De Bruyne missed his first penalty for four years when he pulled his spot-kick wide of the target.

The second period failed to match the thrilling end-to-end pace of the first, but it was City who had more control and the better openings.

Jesus headed a golden opportunity wide before De Bruyne saw another sighter fail to dip in time from the edge of the box.

"In the second half we had a more clear chances but a draw is a fair result," added Guardiola. "Against teams like Liverpool if you concede a penalty you should avoid and miss a penalty, it makes it more difficult."

Barcelona expect Ansu Fati to be out for four months after the club confirmed the 18-year-old underwent surgery on his knee injury on Monday.

Fati had the operation after tearing the internal meniscus of his left knee during Barca's 5-2 win over Real Betis on Saturday.

He will miss the majority of the rest of the season but could return for the run-in and will hope to be fit again in time to play for Spain in next summer's European Championship.

Barca's chances in La Liga and the Champions League have been dealt a blow by Fati's injury, given the forward had emerged as one of Ronald Koeman's most exciting players.

Fati has already scored five goals and provided two assists in his 10 appearances this term.

"Ansu Fati has been operated on successfully by Dr. Ramon Cugat for the injury to the internal meniscus of his left knee under the supervision of the Club's medical staff. The player will be out for approximately four months," Barcelona said in a statement.

Argentine football great Diego Maradona is progressing well after brain surgery on a blood clot and could be discharged this week, his doctor said Monday.

Maradona, 60, underwent surgery last Tuesday to remove a clot lodged between his brain and skull.

"Diego is in the mood to leave, and we are evaluating the discharge that could be tomorrow or probably Wednesday, we have to see the clinical parameters, but the progress is very good," Leopoldo Luque told reporters.

Maradona, who went into isolation two weeks ago after one of his bodyguards displayed coronavirus symptoms, had looked unwell during a brief appearance on October 30 at his 60th birthday celebration at the stadium of Gimnasia y Esgrima, the Argentine Primera Division team he coaches.

He seemed to have difficulty walking and did not hang around to watch his side's match.

The following Monday, he was taken to hospital in La Plata, where the club is based, suffering from symptoms of anemia and dehydration.

Tests revealed the blood clot, after which Maradona was transferred to a specialist clinic in the capital.

Since his surgery, he has progressed well, although Luque had revealed Thursday that Maradona was receiving intensive treatment and sedatives for withdrawal symptoms. This treatment began to be scaled back on Monday.

Luque also played down a rumor cited by local press about the presence of a Covid-19 patient in the clinic.

"Covid is everywhere, there is nothing here that there is not elsewhere, and the care and protocols are followed to perfection," he said.

Luque also avoided specifying where Maradona will recuperate once he is discharged.

"We will discuss these issues when the time comes, we will discuss them together with the family. We all agree to take Diego forward," he said.

Maradona has been admitted to hospital three times in the last 20 years for serious health issues -- two of which were potentially fatal -- due to his drug and alcohol addictions.

Now free of drugs, Maradona remains dependent on alcohol.

Last week, his doctor had said the football star would require prolonged treatment in a clinic with different specialties than the current one.

Maradona's daughters Dalma, Giannina and Jana visit him daily at the clinic.

His oldest son, Diego Jr, who lives in Italy, announced last Thursday on social media that he had tested positive for Covid-19 and therefore would not be able to travel to Buenos Aires.
