West Indies won the toss in the first match and decided to bat first. Courtesy of Ashwin India restricted the hosts to just 150 runs in the first innings. After this the Indians put forward a solid and resilient batting effort. Riding on the brilliant starts provided by the openers India managed to put forward a brilliant and solid batting effort posting a total of 425 runs for the loss of five wickets before declaring the innings. In the second innings the Ashwin magic worked again and India dismissed West Indies for just 130 runs this time. With that India won the match by an innings and 141 runs. The visitors will look to maintain the momentum and win this match thus winning the series by a 2-0 margin in the process. This will give Rohit Sharma and his men a brilliant start to the 2023-25 WTC cycle. On the other hand West Indies will try to comeback and walk away with prestige at the end of this clash. As India stand on the brink of another series win in West Indies they'd be resting easy given their commanding performance in the opener. So much so that even a transitioning Indian team start as favorites once again in Trinidad. It has been 21 years since West Indies last failed to lose a Test series against India and with the odds heavily stacked against them once more the hosts would be pleased if they do manage to square the series. It'd be easier said than done for West Indies' batting woes were only exacerbated in Dominica where the conditions too were right up the alley of India's masterful spinners. The challenge in Trinidad could be different if the hosts decide to back their strengths which has been the pace attack over the last few years. The tone usually set by skipper Kraigg at the top has been off-key. Brathwaite was done in twice adding to the four times previously by Ashwin in the first Test leaving a rocky ship without an anchor. India Team News: Having won the first Test handsomely India aren't hard-pressed to make any changes. R Ashwin's performance in that game would all but rule out any thought of going in with a lone spinner. The choice for the third seamer though could still be up for debate with the likes of Navdeep Saini and Mukesh Kumar waiting in the sidelines. West Indies Team News: It is likely given the conditions that West Indies pick an extra pacer instead of two spinners which could pave the way back for Shannon Gabriel who was benched for the first game. Additionally the toss up for the lone spinner's slot will be a toss up between newbie Kevin Sinclair who has been picked with Rahkeem Cornwall staying on albeit a chest infection in the first Test. With Raymon Reifer dropped they could also hand out a cap to Kirk McKenzie. What to expect: In contrast to the first Test at Dominica where spin played a part and had a big say in the outcome of the game this ground has favoured the pacers more over the last decade. With rain expected over the course of the match it could dictate selection calls for both teams. This will be the 100th Test between India and West Indies Since 2021 no bowler has taken more wickets in Tests than R Ashwin who has 111 to his name. Pitch Report: The Queen’s Park Oval track is more favorable to bowlers than batters. Pacers will enjoy bowling on this ground due to the pace and bounce on offer. Early swing can also trouble the batters. Teams winning the toss might choose to bat with the average first innings score being 251.

India vs West Indies 1st Test Day 2 Live Scores | IND vs WI 1st Test Live Scores & Commentary

India vs West Indies 1st Test Day 2 Live Scores This Match Will be Played at Windsor Park Roseau Dominica from 12th July to 16th July 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.30pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs WI 1st Test Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan Hello and a warm welcome to the coverage of the second day of the first Test between West Indies and India from Windsor Park in Dominica. Rahkeem Cornwall faced some issues with his ankle yesterday and walked off the field after bowling only four overs. It remains to be seen whether he takes the field today. He will play a crucial role for the hosts as he is one of the spinners along with Jomel Warrican who will certainly get some assistance from the surface as the game progresses. India are in a commanding position at the start of day two of this opening Test match of the two-match series. West Indies won the toss and that was the only thing that went their way on the first day. Their batters got starts but literally threw away their wickets and got bundled out on 150 in just 64.3 overs. Alick Athanaze looked composed at the crease but missed out on his maiden Test fifty by three runs on his debut. Indian bowlers were brilliant and kept the hosts under pressure. Ravichandran Ashwin bowled beautifully and picked up a fifer. Ravindra Jadeja also grabbed three wickets. India then had a solid response thanks to Rohit Sharma and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal. They put 80 between them for the first wicket with both Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal remaining unbeaten on 30 and 40 respectively at the end of the first day. West Indies have failed to create chances on the opening day and will have to come out with better plans today. The Indian side will be hoping to bat long and rule the hosts out of this Test by piling up runs in their first innings. A long day awaits the hosts if they fail to pick wickets in the morning session. Let’s see how things unfold for both sides on the second day of this Test. That's the end of the opening day of the 1st Test between West Indies and India. A brilliant day of Test cricket for India as they bundle out the hosts for 150 despite losing the toss and go back in the hut without a dent adding 80 runs for the first wicket. Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin combined to take eight wickets including the final two in the evening session to bundle out the hosts for 150 with the debutant Alick Athanaze top scoring with 47. Ashwin broke a few records to register his 33rd Test 5 wicket haul also passing the 700 wickets mark in international cricket. After bundling out the Windies for 150 India's latest opening pair Yashasvi Jaiswal (40*) and Rohit Sharma (30*) batted well to add 80 runs. There were a couple of close appeals and a review as well taken against Rohit Sharma but the umpire's call which was initially not out saved the India skipper early in his innings. The game was also interrupted for 5 minutes due to rain but it didn't impact much to the India openers. Jaiswal took his time to get off the mark but did so in style playing an upper cut on his 16th delivery and did not look back hitting six fours enroute his unbeaten knock. Quick bowlers Jason Holder and Kemar Roach alongside Jomel Warrican kept things tight for India but the openers have brought the trail down to just 70 runs. Pitch Report: The track at Windsor Park is more favorable to bowlers than it is to batters. Spinners are going to play an important role in the match with the pitch offering some turn and bounce for them. Batters who can counter spin well certainly have better chances to do well here. Teams winning the toss would choose to bat first with the average first innings score being 249. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

IPL 2023 Final Live: Chennai Super Kings v Gujarat Titans Live | CSK vs GT Live Scores & Commentary

IPL 2023 Final Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans Live Scores This Match Will be Played at Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad on 28th May 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.30pm From Indian Standard time. CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan Welcome!! Welcome!! Welcome!! At the cusp of two months since the start of the IPL 2023 we are finally down to the last battle that determines the champion. It's the Master 💛 versus the Apprentice 💙 at the clash of clashes in the 16th edition of the IPL. The iconic Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad will be staging today's main event clash. MS Dhoni is all set to play his 250th IPL match. Wherever CSK have played this year there's been a sea of yellow in the crowd. Dhoni who's hobbled through the season is yet to decide whether he'll come back next year. Today will be his 250th IPL appearance and this stadium which is starting to fill up quickly is going to be rocking at just a glimpse of the man. "The hope and joy his devotees raise at a fleeting vision of him on the big screen during Chennai Super Kings' innings explodes in a supernova of ecstasy when eventually he comes in to bat" writes Telford Vice. "The feeling of it is a wonder of the age even when seen and heard from the other hemisphere by the most agnostic of neutrals." What can perhaps worry GT? No batter other than Shubman Gill has stamped his authority. Sai Sudarshan has been impressive in the few opportunities he has got but the other batters have struggled a bit. No batter other than Gill is in the list of top 20 batters in this season. The fact that Hardik is second in the run scorer’s list and has scored 325 runs in total shows you that Gill has been on a different level. Their designated finishers Miller and Tewatia have had less game time and if the CSK bowlers manage to dismantle GT’s top order quickly it will be a stern test for them. The pressure of a finale can make even the best susceptible. What can perhaps worry CSK? A team that finished second after the league stages and then made it straight to the final generally don’t have too many weaknesses. However the success of their top-order has meant the middle order has had very little batting. The likes of Moeen Ali Ambati Rayudu and even Dhoni have had very little to do this season and a final would be a bad time for this franchise to lose 2-3 quick wickets. Secondly barring Deepak Chahar and Jadeja none of their bowlers have played an IPL final or even a game of this magnitude. So how will they hold up to more than a lakh spectators jeering them up will be interesting to see… Top Players on Venue: Shubman Gill: 630 Runs in 11 Matches Rashid Khan: 14 Wickets in 9 Matches Ruturaj Gaikwad: 92 Runs in 1 Match CSK vs GT (Player Battles) Devon Conway vs Mohammad Shami: Balls: 12 Runs: 5 Dismissals: 3 Shubman Gill vs Deepak Chahar: Balls: 47 Runs: 62 Dismissals: 3 Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Rashid Khan: Balls: 57 Runs: 84 Dismissals: 2 Hardik Pandya vs Ravindra Jadeja: Balls: 16 Runs: 18 Dismissals: 2. The weather is overcast at the Motera now. Some glimpses of white clouds can be spotted amidst the gloomy sky. Parts of Ahmedabad Anand Aravalli Bharuch & Vadodara are likely to experience light thunderstorms and strong winds during the next 2-3 hours according to the India Meteorological Department. So the latest updates say the match can start as late as 10:10 PM IST around without overs being lost (as per broadcast). We will start to lose overs after 9:30 PM IST (as per Harsha Bhogle) Cut-off time for a 5-over game: 11:56 PM IST. The toss is delayed due to the hosing down of rain ☔️. It is still pouring down and add on with the rain we have lightning and thunder. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

Will it be a sea of dark blue💜 or a sea of yellow💛Amidst a lakh spectators who will emerge victorious? Is it the last ride for the former Indian captain aka. one of the most decorated minds that the game has ever witnessed? MS Dhoni!!💪🏼Will Captain Cool have a fairytale ending in the glitterati league? Or is it still not over?😱 The story is yet to meet its climax. After 59 freaking days 🥶 and 73 scintillating clashes we are down to one last encounter where the Master meets the Protege at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad. It's the battle of the two formidable sides of the 2023 Indian Premier League as Gujarat Titans rub shoulders with the Chennai Super Kings in the main event of the box-office show. Head-to-Head: After four matches between the two teams Gujarat Titans lead the contest with 3 wins whereas Chennai Super Kings have won just a single game against them. It was the Qualifier 1 encounter where CSK defeated GT for the first time. It is worth noting that the Yellow Army is yet to win a game against GT in Ahmedabad. Team Preview (Chennai Super Kings): The four-time champions have come a long way after an off-season last year. Chennai Super Kings seem to have been the team who have peaked at the right time in the ongoing IPL 2023. MS Dhoni and CSK is a different love story and the mastermind has blurred his future plans a few days back during the post-match presentations. One never knows if it is going to be the ultimate match of Captain Cool in the venerated Yellow jersey. CSK ended the league stages with 17 points from the full quota of 14 encounters. They won eight matches and lost six of them. One of the games against LSG was ruined due to rain. Finishing at the second spot in the league table the MS Dhoni-led unit played Qualifier 1 against the Titans and eclipsed them in a one-sided encounter in Chennai. Team Preview ( Gujarat Titans): The defending champions led by Hardik Pandya have been ever-dominant during the league stages of IPL 2023. They initiated with a win over the Chennai Super Kings in the season opener right at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad. Since then they have never looked back on their aim to reach the finals and book their spot for the mega clash. Having played 14 games they have won 10 matches and secured 20 points thereby finishing at the top spot in the league table. The side has built a team around its core which includes the likes of Shubman Gill Wriddhiman Saha Hardik Pandya Rashid Khan Mohammad Shami David Miller and Rahul Tewatia. The best part of the franchise has been their role definition. Saha has gone over the 30-yard circle in the powerplay more often while Shubman Gill has played through his natural charisma amalgamated with sheer elegance. With three glorious centuries under his name the 23-year-old has been the 'Visionary' the 'Revolutionary' the 'Shubman Freakin Gill' for the Titans. Sai Sudharsan and Vijay Shankar have had their impact for the team in various circumstances. Even at times we have witnessed the skipper step up early with the bat and also with the ball in hand. The likes of David Miller Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia have formed the lower middle order for them with Abhinav Manohar on the queue as the impact substitute in certain situations. What to expect: Even as the weather is expected to be mostly sunny and dry the possibility of brief showers hasn't been ruled out. A day ahead of the game Vikram Solanki has stated that the pitch is expected to be friendly for scoring runs.

IPL 2023 Live: Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Live | GT vs MI Live Scores & Commentary

IPL 2023 Qualifier 2 Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Live This Match Will be Played at Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad on 26th May 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.30pm From Indian Standard time. GT vs MI IPL 2023 Qualifier 2 Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan The one who wins finds a spot straightaway in the main event of IPL 2023 for which Chennai Super Kings are eagerly waiting. It is the Mumbai Indians skipper versus the former Mumbai Indians MVP. Who comes out on top? The flight takes off from Chennai and heads towards Ahmedabad where the ultimate two matches of the Indian Premier League will be staged. The Gujarat Titans have deservingly earned a second chance to be a part of the final after being eclipsed by the Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1. Meanwhile Mumbai Indians seem to have caught momentum in this tournament and have finally found their best combination going in the tournament. They shadowed Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator and booked a spot to face the Titans in Qualifier 2. Team Preview (Gujarat Titans): The Hardik Pandya-led unit has been soaring high in the tournament until the major setback against the Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2023. They fetched 20 points from the quota of 14 matches and ended at the top of the league table with 10 wins and four losses. The side possesses a good blend of youth and experience that has helped them to enforce dominance in the league stages. Wriddhiman Saha has played some interesting innings at the top of the order whereas Shubman Gill has played the extended knocks for them. Vijay Shankar has been in sensational form this year and boasted of some match-winning performances. With a jam-packed lower order that includes David Miller Rahul Tewatia Abhinav Manohar/Dasun Shanaka and Rashid Khan the Titans' are a force to reckon with in this tournament. The bowling department has been fantastic with Mohammed Shami taking up the role with the new ball fantastically. Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan have been controlling the middle phases with the assist from Mohit Sharma who has done a superb job in the slog overs as well. The defending champions look formidable and it seemed to have a bad day in their latest game. Team Preview (Mumbai Indians): The five-time champions initiated the competition in the most 'Mumbai Indians' fashion. They were on the receiving end of a defeat in their first two games. In their third match of the mega-event MI managed to eke past a close encounter against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Titans defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last match of the league stages of IPL 2023 cleared the path for MI to make a place in the top four. The Rohit Sharma-led community have played some brilliant cricket as the season progressed and chased down 200+ scores on four occasions which is the highest by any team this season. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have glued crucial innings at times. Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green have peaked at the need of the hour for the side and lit up the stages. When it comes to finishing a few matches or playing some situation-oriented knocks Tilak Varma Tim David and Nehal Wadhera have manufactured some shows. From the bowling perspective MI withstood several setbacks before and during the tournament as Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out and Jofra Archer failed to complete his IPL sprint and went home midway. Jason Behrendorff and Chris Jordan have done some decent job with the ball whereas Akash Madhwal has been the standout performer for them. He extracted wickets when the team needed the most in three of MI's matches which includes their do-or-die encounters against SRH and LSG (Eliminator). Veteran Piyush Chawla has had an outstanding comeback with the cork in hand while either Hrithik Shokeen or Kumar Kartikeya is to play in their next assignment.

IPL 2023 Live: Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings Live | GT vs CSK Live Scores & Commentary

IPL 2023 Qualifier 1 Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings Live This Match Will be Played at MA Chidambaram Stadium Chennai on 23rd May 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.30pm From Indian Standard time. GT vs CSK IPL 2023 Qualifier 1 Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan Gujarat Titans (GT) will play against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Qualifier 1 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023). The match will be taking place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday 23rd May at 7:30 PM IST. Team Preview (Gujarat Titans): The defending champions Gujarat Titans have been in brilliant form in this tournament. They have managed to win 10 of their 14 matches and finished at the top of the points table with 20 points. Now they will be going against the Super Kings whom they have defeated on all three previous occasions. A win in this match will mean that GT will be playing their second consecutive final since their entry into the tournament. The Hardik Pandya-led side has been a perfect example of how a team game should be played. In every match there has been a different match-winner for them with Shubman Gill being their most consistent batter. Mohammed Shami and Rashid have done a great job with the ball being at the top of the purple cap list. These two have ensured that the opposition never gets a reprieve during their batting efforts. The Titans will be going in all-out in this match in order to make it to the summit clash of the tournament and try to defend their title. Josh Little has returned to the GT camp after having a successful international stint in the middle of the IPL. Injury/Unavailability: Shankar regained full fitness ahead of Sunday's league game against RCB and came in as an impact sub to bat at No.3. Considering Shanaka hasn't had a lot to do with both bat and ball GT might turn to Joshua Little in the XI or as the impact sub. The left-arm pacer who was away for the Ireland-Bangladesh series returned to the GT squad ahead of the weekend fixture against RCB. He also trained in Chennai on the eve of the first qualifier. Team Preview (Chennai Super Kings): The Chennai Super Kings have been in good form this tournament. They have won eight of their 14 matches in the league stage. The Super Kings have made it to the playoffs with 17 points under their belt at the second position in the points table. Now they have a chance to make it to the summit clash of the tournament. Even if they lose this match they will have another shot to make it to the grand finale. The Super Kings have displayed good team game throughout the tournament. While there have been some consistent star performers in Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad players like Tushar Deshpande Shivam Dube and Matheesha Pathirana chipped in whenever needed. The team will now need to put on another strong performance to make it to the final of the tournament in one go overcoming the defending champions in Gujarat Titans. What to expect: A hot evening is in the offing where temperatures will hit the high 30s. The conditions at the venue suited batters early on but the wickets have slowed down as the tournament has progressed. It reflected in the scores made at the venue as the average 1st innings total came down from 182 in the first four games to 150 in the last three. CSK themselves were outspun in their last game there against KKR. Tuesday's game however will be played on pitch 5 where CSK and PBKS played out a high-scoring entertainer where the home team's 200/4 was chased down on the last ball. Pitch Report: The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai has been known to offer assistance to both batters and bowlers. It typically favors stroke play due to its even bounce making it conducive for shot-making. The team winning the toss will likely prefer chasing in order to have a clear target in mind.
