WATCH: Shreyas Gopal bags maiden hat-trick in IPL, becomes 2nd bowler to achieve feat this season
#Shreyas#Gopal#bags#maiden#hat-trick#in #IPL,#becomes#2nd#bowler#to#achieve #feat#this#season Shreyas Gopal bagged his maiden hat-trick in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. He became the second bowler after Sam Curran to take a hat-trick this season. The leg-spinner picked up important wickets of AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli and Marcus Stoinis to halt RCB's rampaging start after the hosts were off to a flyer with Kohli and AB garnering 23 runs off the first over. The rain-affected fixture saw a late start as the match was reduced to a five-over a side clash after a delay of almost 3.5 hours due to heavy downpour in Bengaluru. Kohli and AB got off to a sensational start as the RCB skipper went after Varun Aaron right from the first delivery tonking him for a six. He slammed another six of the next delivery before AB got two boundaries to finish the over with 23 runs from it Kohli continued his blitzkrieg against Gopal in the second over as he lofted a flighted first delivery into the stands for a six before getting a boundary off the next ball. Kohli then took a couple of the next ball before Gopal got him caught by Liam Livingstone trying to hit a six. Gopal dismissed Kohli for the second time in this season. On the next delivery, AB was caught by Riyan Parag before Marcus Stoinis was caught on a duck by Steve Smith as Gopal became the fourth Rajasthan Royals bowler to bag a hat-trick in the IPL. RCB batting line-up suffered a spectacular collapse after Gopal's hat-trick as the hosts lost 4 wickets inside 26 runs to be restricted on 62/7 in five overs. While Gopal picked up three wickets, Oshane Thomas bagged a couple of wickets for the Royals. Sanju Samson and Liam Livingstone got Rajasthan off to a flyer with a 41-run stand in 20 balls before Samson was dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal.

England registered their fourth straight win over Pakistan on Sunday to clinch the five-match series 4-0. The incident happened in the 27th over of the Pakistan innings, when the visitors were chasing a mighty target of 352 runs. Babar was batting on 80 off 83 balls with skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed on the other end. Sarfaraz pushed one on the leg side and was looking to take a single before deciding against it. However, Babar, by then, had reached the middle of the pitch as Jos Buttler quickly collected the ball and threw it towards Ali. Before Babar could reach back, Rashid plucked the ball and executed a perfect no-look run out. The dismissal turned the game in England's favour as Pakistan were looking on course towards the target with Babar in splendid touch.

#Shane#Watson#Faf#du#Plessis#survive#run-out#scare#after#terrible#mix-up#in #middle Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 2nd Qualifier of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 to book a spot in the final where they will take on Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad for the ultimate trophy.

It was a one-sided affair between the two sides in Vizag but the game saw some exciting moments as both sides gave their best on the pitch. After DC managed to reach close to the 150-run mark and posted a challenging total on the board, CSK openers got off to a wobbly start and almost gave away a breakthrough to Shreyas Iyer-led side in the very first over after a terrible mix-up. The incident happened on the 3rd ball of the first over when Faf du Plessis struck one at point off Colin Munro. Both him and Watson were stuck in the middle as Axar Patel quickly collected the ball and threw it to the bowling end while missing the stumps.

#Bat#slip#good#catch#no-ball#It#all #happens#at#Chepauk#as#MS#Dhoni #survives#Jasprit#Bumrah#scare Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni played a pivotal role in guiding the home team to a challenging 131/4 at the Chepauk Stadium on Tuesday in the IPL 2019 Qualifier 1 against Mumbai Indians. However, en route to his 29-ball 37 knock, he survived a Jasprit Bumrah scare with a lucky escape in the final over of CSK's innings. Bumrah was back for his last over with Dhoni on strike. He went in with a pacy, fullish delivery on the off stump as Dhoni got under in a bid to find the long-on boundary. But the bat slipped off his hand while the ball was sliced off to Ishan Kishan at the backward point who completed a wonderful catch. Chepauk posed a pin-drop silence as Mumbai Indians celebrated the big wicket. However, all was cut short when the giant screen showed that Bumrah was in fact overstepping. Dhoni joined the crease to add five more runs to the scoreboard as CSK finished with 131/4 in 20 overs.

Watch- Catch of the season? Dinesh Karthik pulls off a stunner to dismiss Quinton de Kock
#Catch#of#the#season#Dinesh#Karthik #pulls#off#a#stunner#to#dismiss#Quinton #de#Kock Dinesh Karthik failed to take Kolkata Knight Riders into the playoffs of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 as his side suffered a 9-wicket loss against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. While it was a disappointing day for Karthik as a captain, he was as sharp as ever behind the stumps and pulled off a spectacular running catch to dismiss Quinton de Kock. It was a stunning effort from the KKR wicket-keeper as he had to chase down the ball while running back and keep his eyes intact on the ball before timing his dive to perfection. The dismissal took place in the 7th over of the Mumbai Indians innings when de Kock top-edged a short delivery from Prasidh Krishna and the ball went high in the air. It looked like the ball will land in a no man's zone but Karthik chased it down till the very end and pulled off a 'catch of the season,' contender. Despite the ball moving away from him, he never gave up in his chase and ended up plucking it at the end. With Mumbai Indians chasing a low-key target of 134 runs, KKR were in desperate need of a wicket and a moment of inspiration after openers Rohit Sharma and de Kock got their team off to a good start and the moment was provided by none other than the skipper himself for KKR. de Kock was dismissed after scoring 30 off 23 balls as Mumbai Indians lost their first wicket on 46 runs. However, it was always going to be a difficult task to defend the target for KKR against a formidable Mumbai Indians batting line-up and Rohit's unbeaten 55 along with Suryakumar Yadav's unbeaten 46 set the stage for a comfortable win for the hosts. It was for the first time in three years that KKR failed to make it to the playoffs as MI topped the points table to book a clash with Chennai Super Kings in the Qualifier 1.
