Cricket News Update - Jos Buttler Shares His All-time IPL XI

 


Swashbuckling England wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler has recently picked up his all-time IPL XI. Notably, IPL 2021 got suspended this season due to the surge of COVID-19 cases inside bio-bubble as well. However, the opener has played a key role for Rajasthan Royals in the cash-rich league as well.

Jos Buttler made his debut in the league with Mumbai Indians in 2016 under Rohit Sharma. However, after that, Rajasthan Royals bought him in the 2018 mega auction as well.

Recently, he slammed a century too just before the league got postponed indefinitely with an immediate effect due to COVID-19. However, despite being played under  the new captain Sanju Samson for Rajasthan Royals, he didn’t pick him in his team.

He didn’t even name one of the IPL’s consistent performers Suresh Raina, one of the vital cogs of Chennai Super Kings. But, the captain of CSK, MS Dhoni got a spot in Buttler’s team. Apart from him, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has also got a place in the team

For the middle-orders, Royal Challengers Bangalore duo Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers have been chosen for their consistency. Buttler also picked up Kieron Pollard for his great all-round show and he shared all these in Cricbuzz Plus recently. Along with him, CSK’s key all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has also earned a place.

For the bowling department, he picked veteran Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh and Sri Lanka speedster Lasith Malinga. And for the last two places he chose Indian pace duo – Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar. While Bumrah is known as death over specialist, Kumar’s lethal Yorker at death and his ability to swing the ball both ways can certainly trouble any batsman as well.

IPL 2021: CSK full squad details

  Chennai Super Kings had a lot to do in the auction for IPL 2021 . They had a forgettable tournament last year. For the first time in the history of Indian Premier League, MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings ended the tournament at the 7th position. In the IPL auction, therefore, they had to buy some key players for a strong comeback. It was interesting to see Chennai Super Kings going for Cheteshwar Pujara. Not a lot would have thought of Pujara making it to an IPL side. While they went for some base price buys, they stacked up two players for a total of 16.25 crore. The challenge for Chennai Super Kings was to get some effective and young players on board to strengthen the core balance. K Gowtham and Moeen Ali can serve them as the all-rounders. However, they were in need of a back-up opener. Chennai Super Kings Retained Players: MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, KM Asif, Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, N Jagadeesan, Karn Sharma, Lungi Ngidi, M...

Amit Mishra shares his thoughts on spin bowling

Image
  India has produced a good number of quality spinners throughout the year but there are very few wrist spinners available and Amit Mishra is one of them. He feels that wrist spin is a difficult craft that can only be mastered with hours of honing the skill sets and also a leader who backs the player in difficult moments of the game. “Any leg-spinner needs a good captain because when the bowler is under attack, you need that sort of a skipper, who would back you to the hilt and give you that requisite confidence even when you have gone for a few runs,” Mishra told PTI in an exclusive interview. “A captain who basically understands the psyche of a leg-spinner.” Amit Mishra, who will be seen in action for Delhi Capitals this IPL season in India, has played 68 games across formats for India and one of the successful bowlers in IPL too. Meanwhile, in India barring Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav and Rahul Chahar, there aren’t many quality leg-break bowlers available too as well. ...

Image
  Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli is excited to have Glenn Maxwell in his squad in the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they have started their hunt for the much-awaited IPL title against Chennai Super Kings on April 9. RCB gave a whopping Rs 14.25 crore for Maxwell, who was released by Punjab Kings earlier the mini-auction in Chennai in February this year. The Australian big-hitting all-rounder has a very poor record in the IPL but he was still in demand at the mini-auction in February. However, even before the auction, Maxwell had shared his desire to play for RCB under Kohli as well, and he was also keen on having Maxwell in his squad. "We wanted Maxi, specifically targeted him at the auction in February. You obviously feel great when things end up happening to where you thought they would. Zamps sent me that picture of them (Zampa and Maxwell) at a practice session handing over the RCB cap even before the auction happened. Zamps a very fun...
