Captain of SunRisers Hyderabad in IPL 2023
South Africa batter Aiden Markram has been named the captain for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 28-year-old cricketer is not new to the leadership role having led the Sunrisers Eastern Cape to the inaugural SA20 title earlier this month. He played a crucial role in the side’s SA20 triumph, ending the season as the third-highest run-scorer.
During his time as Eastern Cape’s captain, Markram demonstrated his versatility as a multi-faceted player and a captain. Markram scored 369 runs at a strike rate of 127, including a century, and claimed 11 wickets with his part-time off-spin at an impressive economy of 6.19.
Sunrisers had to decide on the leadership role after releasing New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson prior to the IPL mini-auction in December last year. The batter struggled for form in the 2022 IPL and scored 216 runs in his 13 innings.

Will Markram be able guide SRH to a second IPL title?

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Sunrisers Hyderabad would be banking on the leadership skills of their new skipper, South African Aiden Markram, and the cricketing acumen of coach Brian Lara to break the jinx of finishing in the lower rung over the last couple of editions, when the latest IPL season commences on March 31.
Markram, who led Sunrisers Eastern Cape to the inaugural SA20 title, is the third captaincy change in three years for the Hyderabad franchise, and will have a big job at hand to guide the side to success after it finished last in 2021 and eighth among 10 teams last year.
Having won the title in 2016, SRH’s biggest issue has been their captaincy, with Australian opener David Warner and charismatic New Zealand batter Kane Williamson having to pay the price for the team’s debacle in the last two editions.

Will IPL 2023 be the last dance of CSK’s ‘Thalapathi’ MS Dhoni?

[ad_1]
New Delhi: When the 16th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) gets underway from March 31, talismanic Chennai Super King skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be the only captain to lead the same side ever since the inaugural edition of the cash-rich league in 2008.
In his 16-year long journey at IPL, Dhoni has seen it all — winning multiple titles, getting banned for two years in between, handing over captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja before taking it back again — at CSK. But, as nothing lasts forever, this IPL season could be his last as a player with four-time champions CSK.
Though there has not been any official statement on this count either from the CSK management or Dhoni, there are some obvious hints at his retirement from IPL.
Handing over captaincy to Jadeja last year was a big indication that the former India captain is looking for his successor at the Chennai-based franchise. Though the move failed as the star all-rounder couldn’t handle the pressure well, it was clear that Dhoni wants to groom someone for the leadership role.
As far as his fitness is concerned, Dhoni is still one of the fittest Indian cricketers and can even give young players a run for their money. His tactical acumen is still by far the best in comparison to other skippers in IPL. However, the only concern about Dhoni is that he doesn’t play any other form of competitive cricket except IPL, so his match preparedness, which helps in taking the right decision at the right time, can be a factor.
As of now, 41-year old Dhoni, who has led CSK to four IPL titles, will captain the franchise in the upcoming season as they open their campaign against defending champions Gujarat Titans in the opening match in Ahmedabad on March 31. But it will be interesting to see whether there will be any twist in the tale in terms of captaincy as was the case last year.
It has been learnt that the Chepauk stadium in Chennai is gearing up for ‘Thala’s’ farewell match. The game against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 14 will be CSK’s last home game of IPL 2023, so it might be Dhoni’s last game for the franchise if they don’t qualify for the playoffs.
Notably, Dhoni in November 2021 had confirmed that his last T20 game will be in Chennai, but whether it will be next year or in five years’ time, he doesn’t know.

“I have always planned my cricket. My last home game in ODI was at my hometown in Ranchi. So, hopefully, my last T20 will be in Chennai. Whether it’s next year or in five years’ time, I don’t really know,” Dhoni had said at that time.
Since then, TV commentators have asked him multiple times about his retirement plans, but Dhoni has always kept his options open.
The World Cup-winning captain rarely interacts with the media. He is not that active on social media either. So it’s quite difficult to predict what will be his next move.
But if indeed Dhoni decides to hang his boots from the cash-rich league after this season, it will be an emotional occasion for the CSK fans. He might be associated with the franchise in some role in future, but that feeling will be missing for sure.

Watch: ‘Great success for Pakistan’: PCB chief Najam Sethi drops bombshell statement about IPL – Kashmir News

[ad_1]
PSL 2023 Concluded with much fanfare on Saturday as Lahore Qalandars defeated Multan Sultans by one run to win their second title, in Lahore.
Meanwhile, there always remains a comparison between fans from both countries as to which is the better franchise-based T20 league. While IPL will be entering its 16th edition, starting March 31st, PSL completed its eighth season.
The defending champions Lahore Qalandars defeated the high-flying Multan Sultans in final by the barest of margins. Batting first, Lahore completed 200 runs, thanks to a 40-ball 65 from Abdullah Shafique and an out-of-the-world 15-ball 44* from the captain Shaheen Afridi, who smashed five sixes and two fours.
The chase was well-threaded by cameos from the top order, in which the man-in-form Rilee Rossouw top-scored with 52 from 32 balls. While the lower order also contributed with crucial runs, four wickets to seamer Afridi derailed their momentum going forward. In the end it all came down to the final over, where Zaman Khan successfully defended the target with just two runs remaining.

IPL has long been touted as the best T20 franchise league in the world, with some of the best cricketers plying their trade in India. But PCB chairman Najam Sethi had a different opinion and made a stunning statement that PSL has overtaken IPL in terms of digital rating.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of the final, Sethi said, “Let’s talk about digital. PSL was only at the half stage, so I asked about our digital rating. Najam Sethi show used to have a 0.5 rating on TV, whereas PSL is getting a rating of more than 11. So, it would be 18 or 20, when it completes.”
“Over 150 million people watched it digitally. It is not a small thing. At the same stage, IPL’s digital rating was 130 million and PSL’s is more than 150 million. So this is a great success for Pakistan”, he further added.
Sethi’s comments could surely create some controversy among Indian and Pakistan cricket fans. It would be interesting to see if a former Indian cricketer would respond to Sethi’s statement. With IPL 2023 set to start from March 31, defending champions Gujarat Titans will face Chennai Super Kings in the season opener, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

IPL Franchise Lucknow Super Giants’ Calls Sopore Cricketer – Kashmir News

[ad_1]
Srinagar, Mar 5: Impressed by the power of sports and its potential to unite the world, Nelson Mandela had once said “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand” – this famous quote by the great revolutionary leader, from South Africa, gives one the understanding how far and long sports have a bearing on the people. In sync with the quote, Kashmir too seems to be falling into the lap thick and fast with this time around a budding Cricketer from Sopore in Baramulla being called for trails by Indian Premier League franchise Lucknow Super Giants’, barely weeks into Jasia Akhter being bought up by a franchise for maiden Women’s Premier League.
The Sopore boy Aamir Feroze was left utterly surprised after he received a call from the KL Rahul led Lucknow Super Giants – as this could possibly open to him a whole new world and bring him more close to represent Jammu and Kashmir and who knows this opportunity if executed to its fullest some day may help him to be part of national team as well.
Speaking exclusively with GNS over the phone, Aamir Feroze said that he has been playing outside Kashmir for the last several years now.
“I have been playing with a Pune-based Cricket Academy ‘Deccan Gymkhana’ as a net bowler for Indian star Cricketer Rahul Tripathi”, says Aamir adding “It is (the place) where the (LSG) franchise has recognized me – for the trails.”
“Although I wasn’t not called up to represent any franchise for my services, I thankfully received high praises from all around”, says Aamir.
Expressing his jubilation over the call for trials now, Aamir says that he never dreamt about being called up to represent himself on such a big platform.”I never had dreamt that one day I could reach this level where I will be called to represent such a big platform. I am very happy that at least my efforts have not gone wasted. I will fight and put all my efforts into making my name appear on the ultimate list one day,” Aamir said.
“With this opportunity, my wings have flapped and I am finding a new way to fight, for this milestone is a challenge for me now.”
In a message to the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, Aamir said, “Come forward, be a sports lover and be the change.” He said sports can replace the depression and anxiety that is rising in J&K and that youth should boost sports and actively participate in sports-related activities, which will only help them grow mentally and professionally and can change their career as well.

Notably Parvez Rasool, Abdul Samad, seam sensation Umran Malik besides Jammu-based all-rounder Vivrant Sharma have already hogged the limelight for their skill and talent in the most sought after Cricket league.

IPL 2023: This will be the close of MS Dhoni’s career with CSK, says Matthew Hayden

[ad_1]
New Delhi: With the BCCI announcing the schedule of the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the focus is now on the tournament with fans and experts discussing various issues related to it.
Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden believes this could be the last time Mahendra Singh Dhoni will step into the field as a player.
Speaking exclusively on Star Sports following the announcement of the TATA IPL 2023 schedule, Hayden on Friday talked about the reception Chennai Super Kings captain Dhoni will receive when he walks onto the field at Chepauk after almost three years.
“It will be an amazing moment. I think last year, we were all under the impression that will MSD come back again. At the close of the IPL season, he made that huge comment to say that he will be back.
“Now, what that means for all that Yellow Army is that Chennai suddenly galvanized a tad around the superior leader, who has done it for so long. This will, most certainly, I think, be the close of his IPL career. So, those few games at the start are not only going to be key for the fans, his performance is going to be key for CSK this season,” said Hayden.
Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar agreed with his assessment that Dhoni will be the key for CSK.
“Look, having watched T20 cricket over the years, especially with the IPL and the kind of pressures that teams feel, I believe that you can have one player in your team on pure leadership.
“MS Dhoni doesn’t play regularly, so his impact with the bat is not going to be as much as it was in the prime, but somebody like MS Dhoni, with his leadership experience, you can have him in the team, to make a difference with his leadership. And this is a guy who’s had a team that was called the ‘Old Men Playing IPL Together’ and they won that particular season,” said Manjrekar.

Dhoni had stepped down as captain before the start of the 2022 edition and handed over the captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja.
However, with the team struggling to win matches, Jadeja handed over the captaincy back to Dhoni.
