<p>The cricketing action will continue in IPL 2022 edition on Monday evening (April 25). The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be taking on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the second reverse fixture of the season, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both sides are in desperate need to find some momentum and consistency as their playoffs hopes are hanging by a thread. Talking about the Punjab franchise, they are slowly getting into a familiar territory -- like in the past few seasons -- of getting into a&nbsp;do-or-die situation. So far, they have only three wins from seven encounters and are languishing at the eighth position, just a spot above Ravindra Jadeja-led CSK.</p>

<p>On the other hand, the defending champions Chennai has picked up some momentum but they still need a log of catching up to do in order to progress to the playoffs. The four-time winners have only two victories from seven games and also need to work on their NRR. While CSK bowlers are now beginning to complement the ever-reliant Dwayne Bravo, they would need a lot more to stop a rampant Punjab batting line-up, who usually go all-out in the powerplay overs (going at over 9 RPO).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the likes of Jadeja and Ruturaj Gaikwad also need to find some form for Chennai's benefit. From Punjab's perspective, they need a lot more from their opening duo Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan whereas Jonny Bairstow desperately needs to find form or make way for Bhanuka Rajapaksa. Liam Livingstone -- Man-of-the-Match in PBKS' big win over CSK earlier in the season -- will continue to spearhead the middle and lower-order, however, he needs more support from the likes of Shahrukh Khan, Odean Smith, etc.&nbsp;Their bowling has been led by Rahul Chahar and an economical Arshdeep Singh but Kagiso Rabada still hasn't come good.</p>

<p><strong>Match prediction for Chennai vs Punjab:</strong> The Wankhede pitches are now back to producing some big scores. However, the dew effect has gone down considerably and, hence, batting first won't be ruled out altogether. The surface used for the Lucknow-Mumbai encounter was a two-paced one. It will be interesting to see if it remains the same for Monday's clash. With Punjab coming into this encounter on the back of a loss, a slightly-improved Chennai should march ahead of an inconsistent PBKS line-up to pick up their third win of the season. CSK also have a better head-to-head record, leading Punjab 15-11.</p>

PBKS vs CSK, IPL 2022 prediction today: Who will win Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings match?

<p>Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ravindra Jadeja and star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo were left fuming after teammate Shivam Dube misjudged David Miller's catch during his side's clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday (April 17). Gujarat Titans defeated CSK by 3 wickets after successfully&nbsp;chasing down the target of 170 runs in a last-over thriller.</p>

<p>Batting first at the MCA Stadium in Pune, CSK rode on opener Ruturaj Gaikwad's 73 off 48 balls and Ambati Rayudu's 31-ball 46 to post a challenging total of 169 runs on the board in 20 overs. Despite getting off to a great start with the ball, CSK pacers faltered towards the end as a sensational cameo from Rashid Khan and David Miller's stunning knock took GT over the line in their run chase.</p>

<p>During Gujarat Titans' run-chase, CSK skipper Jadeja and Bravo were left furious after Dube's poor effort on the field. The incident happened in the 17th over of Gujarat Titans' innings when Miller mistimed a pull shot off the bowling of Bravo. The ball flew towards Dube at the midwicket region, who failed to judge the flight of the ball and didn't go for the catch.</p>

<p>Instead of attempting a dive and going all out for the catch, Dube wasted the half-chance as he stopped midway through run up and stopped the ball from going for a boundary after it had bounced off the ground. His poor effort left CSK skipper Jadeja fuming as he was spotted throwing his cap away in frustration.</p>

<p>Bravo was also left unhappy after the effort and was seen signalling another fielder to move to Dube's spot. The all-rounder was seemingly not happy and his frustration was justified as Miller went on to play a match-winning knock of unbeaten 94 off just 51 balls to help GT secure a thrilling win.</p>

<p>Dube was also distracted by the floodlights as he decided to not go for the catch at the last moment after pausing his run midway. However, his sloppy effort didn't please skipper Jadeja and bowler Bravo, who were both left disappointed after the half-hearted effort by the all-rounder.</p>

<p>CSK were well in control of the game till the 17th over of GT's run chase with the Rashid-led side requiring 48 runs to win off the last three overs.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ravindra Jadeja and star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo were left fuming after teammate Shivam Dube misjudged David Miller's catch during his side's clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday (April 17).

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ravindra Jadeja and star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo were left fuming after teammate Shivam Dube misjudged David Miller's catch during his side's clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday (April 17). Gujarat Titans defeated CSK by 3 wickets after successfully chasing down the target of 170 runs in a last-over thriller. Batting first at the MCA Stadium in Pune, CSK rode on opener Ruturaj Gaikwad's 73 off 48 balls and Ambati Rayudu's 31-ball 46 to post a challenging total of 169 runs on the board in 20 overs. Despite getting off to a great start with the ball, CSK pacers faltered towards the end as a sensational cameo from Rashid Khan and David Miller's stunning knock took GT over the line in their run chase. During Gujarat Titans' run-chase, CSK skipper Jadeja and Bravo were left furious after Dube's poor effort on the field. The incident happened in the 17th over of Gujarat Titans' innings when Miller mistimed a pull shot off the bowling of Bravo. The ball flew towards Dube at the midwicket region, who failed to judge the flight of the ball and didn't go for the catch. Instead of attempting a dive and going all out for the catch, Dube wasted the half-chance as he stopped midway through run up and stopped the ball from going for a boundary after it had bounced off the ground. His poor effort left CSK skipper Jadeja fuming as he was spotted throwing his cap away in frustration. Also Read: David Miller, Rashid Khan shine as Gujarat Titans defeat Chennai Super Kings by three wickets Bravo was also left unhappy after the effort and was seen signalling another fielder to move to Dube's spot. The all-rounder was seemingly not happy and his frustration was justified as Miller went on to play a match-winning knock of unbeaten 94 off just 51 balls to help GT secure a thrilling win. Watch video: pic.twitter.com/yfjJWdG4ig — Addicric (@addicric) April 17, 2022 × Dube was also distracted by the floodlights as he decided to not go for the catch at the last moment after pausing his run midway. However, his sloppy effort didn't please skipper Jadeja and bowler Bravo, who were both left disappointed after the half-hearted effort by the all-rounder.

<p>Match 22 of IPL 2022 will see two highly-followed teams take on each other. The defending champions and winless Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will lock horns with a high-flying Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai on Tuesday (April 12).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The clash will be a marquee affair as it reunites old friends and teammates. Faf du Plessis will try to keep his emotions in check as he is will lead RCB against his previous franchise, which gave him thundering success for more than five years. CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja and former captain MS Dhoni will also reunite with Virat Kohli. Thus, the match is sure to turn heads as cricket fans will be spoilt for choices with many big names involved in the CSK-RCB clash.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking about CSK, the Yellow Army has no end to their miseries. With no Faf, Ruturaj Gaikwad hasn't found his rhythm and is facing the pressure at the top. The likes of Moeen Ali, Robin Uthappa, and Ambati Rayudu also need to step up and be more consistent. Dhoni's presence and power-hitting are required for the Chennai setup whereas Jadeja will have to be more proactive and think out of the box to produce favourable results for his franchise.&nbsp;</p>

IPL 2022: CSK's Dwayne Bravo becomes highest wicket-taker in Indian Premier League history

<p>Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Dwayne Bravo achieved a massive milestone in his side's clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Saturday (March 26). KKR defeated CSK comfortably by six wickets in the season opener at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to get off to a winning start in the tournament.</p>

<p>Defending a low-key total of 131 runs, Bravo was the pick of the bowlers for CSK as he bowled brilliantly. The West Indies all-rounder drew the first blood for CSK by removing KKR opener Venkatesh Iyer on 16 before getting the wicket of Nitish Rana. Bravo also got rid of Sam Billings towards the end of KKR's innings to complete a three-wicket haul in the game.</p>

<p>With his three-wicket haul, Bravo completed 170 wickets in his IPL career and joined Lasith Malinga on top of the list of highest wicket-takers of all time in the history of the tournament. Bravo is now the joint-highest wicket-taker of all time in IPL alongside Malinga, who picked up 170 wickets in 122 matches in the IPL.</p>

<p>Bravo has 170 wickets to his name in 151 IPL matches and needs just one more to go past the legendary Sri Lankan pacer. Former Delhi Capitals spinner Amit Mishra&nbsp;is on the third spot inthe elite list with 166 wickets in 154 matches in his IPL career. He is not part of the ongoing 15th edition of the league.</p>

<p>Talking about the game, CSK faltered in their opening game of the season against KKR as the batting line-up suffered a terrible collapse at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. It was former skipper MS Dhoni, who managed to rescue's CSK's sinking ship with a 38-ball 50 and combined with captain Ravindra Jadeja (26) to help the team post a respectable total of 131 runs on the board.</p>

<p>KKR did lose quick wickets after a good start by openers Ajinkya Rahane and Iyer in the run-chase but skipper Shreyas Iyer remained unbeaten on 20 to guide them to a comfortable win. KKR also brought an end to their four-match losing streak against CSK with the victory.</p>

Dwayne Bravo equals Lasith Malinga's record: A look at highest wicket-takers in IPL history

<p>The IPL 2022 mega auction came to an end on Sunday evening (February 13). The two-day affair made the headlines as it saw many big players being sold for a whopping sum whereas some known faces went unsold. The domestic and relatively inexperienced campaigners also found some takers in the mega auction ahead of the IPL 2022 season.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The IPL 2021 champions and four-time winners MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) came into the mega auction with INR 480 million (INR 48 crore) in their purse. They had retained the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali. In the mega auction, CSK did miss out on signing&nbsp;or resigning&nbsp;some big names. However, they bought back fast-bowling all-rounders Deepak Chahar (INR 140 million), Dwayne Bravo, opener Robin Uthappa (INR 20 million), versatile batter Ambati Rayudu (INR 67.5 million)&nbsp;and spin-bowling all-rounder Mitchell Santner.</p>

<p>Among the new buys, the Yellow Army roped in New Zealand opener Devon Conway (INR 10 million),&nbsp;acquired the services of Proteas all-rounder Dwaine Pretorious (INR 5 million) and went hard to add some unknown players as well -- such as Tushar Despande (INR 2 million), Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Maheesh Theekshana, Subhranshu Senapati, Mukesh Choudhary, Bhagat Varma, Prashant Solanki and C Hari Nishaanth -- to bolster their bench strength.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Among the big misses, CSK didn't go strongly after the likes of Ishan Kishan, David Warner, or pacer Kagiso Rabada and failed to re-sign Shardul Thakur and Faf du Plessis. The biggest name missing in their line-up is Chinna Thala Suresh Raina, also known as Mr. IPL. Raina has represented CSK since the tournament's inception, after playing for now-defunct Gujarat Lions (GL) in 2016 and 2017 editions, but saw his stocks going down considerably since 2018 to be left out.</p>

<p>CSK have considerably strengthened their all-round department with as many as over five players in the mix. Shivam Dube, who has joined the Dhoni-led brigade for INR 40 million (INR 4 crore), will add to their batting. On the other hand, Kiwi speedster Adam Milne (INR 19 million) and England's death-overs specialist Chris Jordan (INR 36 million) will also like to replicate ex-CSK pacers'&nbsp;success in the upcoming 2022 season.</p>

Chennai Super Kings complete squad for IPL 2022: Deepak Chahar most expensive in Raina-less line-up

<p>Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had a pretty quiet day at the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction on Saturday as the franchise remained content by focusing on buying their old players back. CSK went after a host&nbsp;of their former players and managed to get them back on day 1 of the IPL 2022 mega auction in Bengaluru.</p>

<p>A lot of eyes were on CSK ahead of the start of the mega auction as they were expected to revamp their squad ahead of the start of the new season. However, the four-time champions once again showed faith in experience over youth as they bought back Robin Uthappa and West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo for a sum of Rs 2 crore (INR 20 million) and Rs 4.4 crore (INR 440 million) respectively.</p>

<p>CSK then managed to bring back experienced Indian batter Ambati Rayudu, who was released by the franchise ahead of the mega auction. CSK spent Rs 6.75 crore (INR 67.5 million) to secure Rayudu's services for the upcoming season. CSK then went on to make Indian pacer Deepak Chahar their most expensive signing in IPL history.</p>

<p>Chahar, who has been an integral part of the CSK setup since joining the side in 2018, saw his price rise from his base price of Rs 2 crore to a whopping Rs 14 crore (INR 140 million) at the mega auction. CSK beat the likes of Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad to the signing of Chahar.</p>

<p>As CSK kept going after their former players and managed to get them back, Delhi Capitals (DC) came up with a hilarious tweet to troll the four-time IPL champions. DC shared a Bollywood inspired meme to take a dig at CSK. "Kuch&nbsp;bhi nahi badla yar aaj bhi sab kuch waise ka waisa hi hai (Nothing has changed mate, everything is still the same)," read the meme.</p>

Former West Indies cricketer Dwayne Bravo has brutally trolled the current Windies One-Day International (ODI) skipper Kieron Pollard with a cheeky post on Instagram. While taking to his official Instagram handle, Bravo, who announced retirement from international cricket after playing the last game at the T20 World Cup 2021, took a dig at Pollard with a hilarious meme. Bravo posted an image of Pollard with "missing" written on it. At the bottom, he also wrote: "Last Seen: In Chahal's pocket". In the caption, Bravo wrote: "This is really a Sad day @kieron.pollard55 my best friend is missing guys pls if u have any info pls inbox me or report to the police."

West Indies lost the first ODI and Pollard missed the second ODI and third ODI of the three-match series.

'Last Seen: In Chahal's pocket': Dwayne Bravo's 'MISSING' post for Kieron Pollard is hilarious

<p>Former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has lauded MS Dhoni for single-handedly building Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the culture at the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise. Bravo was part of CSK's IPL title-winning campaign in the 2021 season as Dhoni &amp; Co. once again shut the critics in style with their stellar campaign despite being written off by many at the start of the season.</p>

<p>Bravo, who has been released by CSK ahead of the upcoming IPL mega auction, is proud to have represented the franchise and played a part in its success over the years. CSK staged an incredible comeback in IPL 2021 after missing out on the playoffs for the first time in 2020. They became the first team to qualify for the top four and went on to lift their fourth IPL trophy in what was a memorable campaign for the team.</p>

<p>Bravo said it was a special season for CSK as the players were determined to prove their critics wrong after being called 'granddads' and 'Dad's army' in the IPL. The Dhoni-led side defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in the final in UAE to win the elusive trophy.</p>

<p>“It was a special season because the season before, we came seventh and it was the first time CSK did not qualify (for playoffs) in the history of IPL. So, all of us as players were determined to come back and prove ourselves and the fans that we are much better than that last season,” Bravo was quoted as saying by Telangana Today.</p>

<p>“So, even last season, no one gave us a chance because they called us the granddad of the IPL but we proved all the doubters wrong and created history again. I am very happy to be a part of the legacy of Chennai Super Kings, one of the most successful IPL franchise ever,” he added.</p>

<p>Crediting Dhoni for CSK's success over the years, Bravo, who enjoys a great rapport with the CSK skipper, hailed him as one of the best to have played the game. While Dhoni himself has struggled with the willow in the last two seasons in IPL, he proved why he remains one of the best captains in the league despite his growing age.</p>

<p>“It’s no secret that he is one of the best players to have ever played the game. He single-handedly built Chennai Super Kings and the culture. All of us as players are very proud and happy to have played under him and his leadership guidance. When it comes to off the field stuff, he doesn’t get involved much,” Bravo said lauding Dhoni.</p>

<p>Chennai Super Kings have retained captain Dhoni ahead of the mega auction and the 40-year-old is all set to lead the team once again next season. He has been retained as the second-choice player for Rs 12 crore (INR 120 million) while all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been retained as the first-choice player for Rs 16 crore (INR 160 crore).&nbsp;</p>

<p>It remains to be seen if CSK will go for Bravo in the upcoming auction and bring him back to the franchise ahead of the new season.</p>

MS Dhoni one of the best to have played the game, he single-handedly built CSK: Dwayne Bravo

<p>West Indies were once the powerhouse in T20 cricket and have two back-to-back T20 World Cup titles to back the claim. A country blessed with some of the best all-rounders to have graced the shortest format of the game, the Caribbeans dominated T20 cricket for several years until their downfall in T20 World Cup 2021.</p>

<p>Not many years ago, they were called the dark horses heading into any big T20 tournament, but West Indies shun the tag under Daren Sammy's captaincy and became a force to reckon with in world cricket. The firepower in their batting line-up coupled with the presence of numerous all-rounders in the squad saw the men from Caribbean become the world-beaters in the shortest format.</p>

<p>The quality in their squad was no different this time around as well, as the two-time champions&nbsp;headed into this year's T20 World Cup as everyone's second favourites. They were no more being addressed as the underdogs and were clear contenders to successfully defend the coveted title and make it a hat-trick of triumphs.</p>

<p>However, they had an abysmal campaign finishing last in the Group 1 to miss out on a spot in the semi-final and expose the shortcomings which had been in the making for long. Despite having a fine blend of youth and experience, West Indies were left exposed at the big stage and could do little to hide the evident struggles in the side.</p>

<p>Kieron Pollard's men got off to a woeful start with a shattering defeat against England and could never really bounce back as they managed only one victory in their remaining four matches to finish fifth with just two points. Their abysmal campaign also marked an era in West Indies cricket as Dwayne Bravo retired from international cricket while Chris Gayle all but confirmed he might never turn up in T20Is again.</p>

<p><strong>Here we try to break down what went wrong for&nbsp;West Indies at T20 World Cup 2021:</strong></p>

<p><strong>1) Misfiring batters</strong></p>

<p>West Indies are blessed with some of the most explosive batters in world cricket. They have a batting line-up capable of destroying bowling attacks at will in any game. With the likes of Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Evin Lewis, Kieron Pollard and Shimron Hetmyer headlining the batting line-up, Windies were expected to bulldoze teams while taking their bowling attacks apart. But that wasn't the case in the UAE.</p>

<p>The openers failed to provide good&nbsp;starts consistently while the middle-order remained non-existent throughout the tournament as the batters failed to fire as a unit. Lewis and Hetmyer did produce a couple of sublime knocks but barring them, the rest of the batters filed to live up to the expectations.</p>

<p>Despite having a batting line-up with the likes of Dwayne Bravo and Jason Holder turning up at no. 8 and 9, West Indies failed to captalise and there failure with the bat was one of the biggest reasons behind their shambolic campaign which saw them win just one out of five matches in the tournament.</p>

<p><strong>2) Lack of&nbsp;genuine pacers</strong></p>

<p>While both Jason Holder and Dwayne Bravo can do the job with the ball in the T20s and have a proven record when it comes to the shortest format, the lack of genuine fast bowlers haunted West Indies at the T20 World Cup 2021. Veteran Ravi Rampaul, who made his comeback in the squad for the showpiece event, managed only two wickets in four appearances for the side.</p>

<p>Left-arm pacer Obed McCoy was in the bowling line-up in the opener against England but was replaced by Jason Holder after getting injured. Oshane Thomas was left to warm the bench for the entire tournament while the likes of Sheldon Cottrell and Alzarri Joseph were not even picked in the squad.</p>

<p><strong>3) Spinners failed to step up</strong></p>

<p>While the lack of a genuine pacer cost West Indies dearly in the T20 World Cup 2021, the spinners in the squad failed to make the most of the chances coming their way and were far from impressive. Akeal Hossein and Hayde Walsh were the two spinners in the squad and both of them collectively managed to pick only five wickets throughout the tournament.</p>

<p>While Hossein picked up all the five wickets, Walsh remained wicket-less in the entire tournament as he managed to make only a solitary appearance for the team. The lack of support from the other end meant Hossein had the majority of the burden on his shoulders as a lone spinner and the pressure caught up to his performances.</p>

<p><strong>4) Big names disappointed&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Very few teams can boast of quality all-rounders like West Indies did in the tournament. They had the likes of Pollard, Andre Russel, Dwayne Bravo and Jason Holder among others. Anyone of them can be a game-changer with the ball or the bat on their&nbsp;day but all of them disappointed in the World Cup.</p>

<p>While Russell would only score 25 runs and picked up three wickets, Bravo scored 26 runs and managed only two scalps. Captain Pollard scored 90 runs and bowled just 2.2 overs in the tournament while Holder averaged a shocking 85 with the ball and picked up only one wicket. With the bat, he didn't get enough chances and scored ony 24 runs.</p>

The quality in their squad was no different this time around as well, as the two-time champions headed into this year's T20 World Cup as everyone's second favourites. They were no more being addressed as the underdogs and were clear contenders to successfully defend the coveted title and make it a hat-trick of triumphs. However, they had an abysmal campaign finishing last in the Group 1 to miss out on a spot in the semi-final and expose the shortcomings which had been in the making for long. Despite having a fine blend of youth and experience, West Indies were left exposed at the big stage and could do little to hide the evident struggles in the side. Kieron Pollard's men got off to a woeful start with a shattering defeat against England and could never really bounce back as they managed only one victory in their remaining four matches to finish fifth with just two points. Their abysmal campaign also marked an era in West Indies cricket as Dwayne Bravo retired from international cricket while Chris Gayle all but confirmed he might never turn up in T20Is again. Here we try to break down what went wrong for West Indies at T20 World Cup 2021: 1) Misfiring batters West Indies are blessed with some of the most explosive batters in world cricket. They have a batting line-up capable of destroying bowling attacks at will in any game. With the likes of Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Evin Lewis, Kieron Pollard and Shimron Hetmyer headlining the batting line-up, Windies were expected to bulldoze teams while taking their bowling attacks apart. But that wasn't the case in the UAE. The openers failed to provide good starts consistently while the middle-order remained non-existent throughout the tournament as the batters failed to fire as a unit. Lewis and Hetmyer did produce a couple of sublime knocks but barring them, the rest of the batters filed to live up to the expectations. Despite having a batting line-up with the likes of Dwayne Bravo and Jason Holder turning up at no. 8 and 9, West Indies failed to captalise and there failure with the bat was one of the biggest reasons behind their shambolic campaign which saw them win just one out of five matches in the tournament.

Veteran Ravi Rampaul, who made his comeback in the squad for the showpiece event, managed only two wickets in four appearances for the side. Left-arm pacer Obed McCoy was in the bowling line-up in the opener against England but was replaced by Jason Holder after getting injured. Oshane Thomas was left to warm the bench for the entire tournament while the likes of Sheldon Cottrell and Alzarri Joseph were not even picked in the squad. 3) Spinners failed to step up While the lack of a genuine pacer cost West Indies dearly in the T20 World Cup 2021, the spinners in the squad failed to make the most of the chances coming their way and were far from impressive. Akeal Hossein and Hayde Walsh were the two spinners in the squad and both of them collectively managed to pick only five wickets throughout the tournament. While Hossein picked up all the five wickets, Walsh remained wicket-less in the entire tournament as he managed to make only a solitary appearance for the team. The lack of support from the other end meant Hossein had the majority of the burden on his shoulders as a lone spinner and the pressure caught up to his performances.

They had the likes of Pollard, Andre Russel, Dwayne Bravo and Jason Holder among others. Anyone of them can be a game-changer with the ball or the bat on their day but all of them disappointed in the World Cup. While Russell would only score 25 runs and picked up three wickets, Bravo scored 26 runs and managed only two scalps. Captain Pollard scored 90 runs and bowled just 2.2 overs in the tournament while Holder averaged a shocking 85 with the ball and picked up only one wicket. With the bat, he didn't get enough chances and scored ony 24 runs.

West Indies star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo set to retire from international cricket after T20 WC

<p>T20 World Cup 2021 is&nbsp;the seventh edition of the tournament which is being staged in the UAE and Oman by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) this year. India are&nbsp;the designated hosts of the tournament but the tournament was moved to the UAE and Oman due to the COVID-19 situation in the country.</p>

<p>The inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup was played in 2007 with India becoming the first champions in the shortest format under the legendary MS Dhoni. The format has since become popular across the globe and has led to the birth of several T20 leagues across many countries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>T20 World Cup remains one of the most talked-about events in world cricket and the tournament will be returning after a gap of five years this time around due to COVID-19. It was originally scheduled to take place last year but had to be postponed due to COVID-19. Two successive T20 World Cups will now be played in 2021 and 2022.</p>

<p>There are only six players who will be making their seventh appearance in a T20 World Cup this year having features in all of the previous editions of the tournament. Star batter Rohit Sharma is the only Indian player who has been part of the last six T20 World Cups and will be in action this year as well.</p>

<p><strong>Here is a look at all six players who have so far featured in all seven T20 World Cups:</strong></p>

<p><strong>Rohit Sharma&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>India's limited-overs vice-captain and star batter Rohit Sharma is the only player from the country to have features in all seven editions of the T20 World Cup so far. Rohit has 673 runs to his name in 28 matches in the T20 World Cup at an average of 39.58 and was a part of the T20 World Cup-winning squad under MS Dhoni in 2007.</p>

<p>Chennai Super Kings (CSK) got the better of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Friday (October 15) as the tournament came to a fitting conclusion. IPL 2021 saw a number of youngsters shine on the biggest stage once again as they went on to impress for their respective sides.</p>

<p>While there were youngsters who made a name for themselves with their talent and skills, some old warhorses continued to be instrumental in the success of their sides. There were a number of stand-out performers in IPL 2021 which was a unique season with the league being played across two different phases in two different venues.</p>

<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer Harshal Patel emerged as one of the best performers this season as he took the season by storm with his heroics with the ball. Harshal, who was traded to RCB from Delhi Capitals ahead of the start of IPL 2021, went on to bag the Purple Cap for taking the highest number of wickets in the season.</p>

<p>Patel scalped an impressive 32 wickets in 15 matches this season including a hat-trick against Mumbai Indians. He bowled at an economy of 8.14 and an average of 14.34 to play an instrumental role in helping Virat Kohli &amp; Co. make it to the playoffs in successive seasons.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He also equalled CSK all-rounder Dwayne Bravo's record for most wickets by any bowler in a single season of IPL. Bravo, who has won the Purple Cap twice, picked up 32 wickets in the 2013 season. With his Purple Cap win, Harshal joined an elite list of bowlers who have been the highest wicket-takers in the IPL in previous seasons including the likes of Lasith Malinga, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kagiso Rabada among others.</p>
