Tushar Deshpande to Gayle, FOUR, short of length, not a whole lot of width, but when you’re bowling to the all-time bet T20 batsman, it can disappear – cramped for room, but punched away off the backfoot to the sweeper cover fence for four Tushar Deshpande to Gayle, FOUR, onto the hip, a tad slower at 130km/h, […]

Chahar to Samson, out Caught by Dhoni!! Dhoni dives to his left and takes this in the webbing between the thumb and forefinger. Really low catch as Samson is strangled down the leg-side. So after a quick start, Rajasthan have lost three in a hurry and are wobbling in this chase. Another failure for Sanju Samson. Here […]

Kartik Tyagi to Dhoni, out Dhoni Run Out!! 1 run completed. Appeal for a run-out, MS was scampering back for the second. Has he made his ground? It looks tight, this looks OUT. He did slide his bat in, but did he get it past the crease when the bails lit up? No, says the third umpire – […]

Ball 6: Bumrah to Rahul, OUT, LBW, plumb. Rahul wants to be innovative, so he tries and reverse-scooping, but Bumrah’s too quick, too dippy with his yorker and pinning him flush in front of middle on his boot .. 5/2. All out. MI need six runs to win the super over. Ball 6: Shami to de Kock, ??, we’re still waiting. […]

SRH Innings: BALL 1: Ferguson to Warner, bowled!! Ferguson continues to impress. A wicket off the first ball in the SuperOver. Length, nipped away a fraction after pitching. Warner made room and slashes but couldn’t make any contact. The LED stumps light up and Lockie is thrilled. What a start to KKR. SRH – 0 for 1 […]

There’s a catch at the deep mid-wicket boundary. The umpires are going upstairs to check if it’s clean. Looks like a wonderful tag-team effort from Lockie and Gill. The soft signal is OUT, by the way. Only one thing would be in the third umpire’s mind whether Lockie’s foot has come in contact with the […]

Rahul Tewatia to Devdutt Padikkal, 1 run, “Catch” is the shout but it drops in a few metres in front of deep backward square leg fielder. Tewatia gets his line right, teases Padikkal by tossing it up outside off. A big slog-sweep results in a top edge and Padikkal is fortunate that it didn’t carry […]

Stokes has taken a catch right on the boundary edge. They are checking if he was in contact with the ad cushions. Seemed fine on first instance. Let’s see what the slow-mos say.. The reverse angle shows his left foot outside the boundary rope as he releases the ball. That should be a SIX. Unadkat […]

Sam Curran to Manish Pandey, out Manish Pandey Run Out!! Never ever challenge Bravo’s arm! You’re inviting trouble. Plays this one towards extra cover and sets off for a quick single But DJ is quick to latch onto the ball as he fires a direct-hit at the bowler’s end. Nowhere in the frame was Pandey as […]

Sandeep Sharma to Dhoni, no run, nearly an absolute screamer from Sandeep! Would have made it straight into the top IPL catches of all time, had he held on. Shortish and stuck off the pitch as Dhoni looked to work across the line. Popped a leading edge well wide of Sandeep who dived one-handed to his left, […]
