The second qualifier match of the ongoing IPL season was played yesterday on 24th May between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. In this match played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Hyderabad won against Rajasthan by 36 runs and qualified for the final.

After winning the toss, Rajasthan decided to bowl, and while batting first, Hyderabad scored 175 runs at the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs despite a bad start. Whereas when Rajasthan came out to chase this target, it could score only 139 runs at the loss of 7 wickets in the stipulated overs and had to face defeat by 36 runs in the match.

All-rounder Abhishek Sharma, who failed in batting, played an important role in stopping Rajasthan on such a low score. In the match, he took 2 big wickets giving only 24 runs in 4 overs. But now Abhishek has given a big statement on his amazing bowling.

I did not know that I would bowl: Abhishek Sharma

Let us tell you that after the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals ended, during the post-match, Abhishek Sharma said – Honestly, I did not know that I would bowl in this match but I was quite prepared for my bowling, because I have been working hard on my bowling. My batting has been good in the last two years, so I wanted to work on my bowling with my father.

Abhishek further said- Pat Cummins used the spin bowlers well in the match. There was more turn in the second innings due to the absence of dew. But the pressure on the team increased because of me, so perhaps I got a chance to bring back the smile on the team. Shahbaz Ahmed also performed well in bowling.

Australian bowlers looked very worried while Pant was at the crease. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rishabh Pant (37) is seen batting brilliantly along with debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy (41) in the first match of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. Pant’s batting played an important role in helping Team India, which won the toss and batted first, recover from the initial setbacks. However, before getting out against Australian captain Pat Cummins, Pant was seen batting in complete control. So, to dismiss Pant, who was looking dangerous in the match, the captain of the opposing team, Cummins, had also made a special plan, about which former cricketer Michael Hussey has also talked. Hussey, who was doing live commentary during the match, said- This is why you can make a fast bowler the captain. He is a smart bowler, smart captain, Pat Cummins. He bowled this ball outside the off-stump, threatening Rishabh Pant’s composure, and it just went a little full. Rishabh Pant, he saw that midwicket and tried to work there.

Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), Devdutt Padikkal (0) and Virat Kohli (5) disappointed for India. However, for India, KL Rahul scored 26 runs, Rishabh Pant scored 37 runs and Nitish Reddy scored 41 runs, due to which India was successful in reaching this target. Whereas the Australian bowlers took advantage of the home conditions and bowled brilliantly and except spinner Nathan Lyon, all the fast bowlers took wickets. For the Kangaroo team, Josh Hazlewood took 4 wickets and Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh took 2 wickets each.

In the match, India won the toss and decided to bat first. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium, Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. So when Team India, which had scored 150 runs in the first innings, came out to bowl, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has performed amazingly. Bumrah gave India its first success by dismissing Nathan McSweeney (10) in the third over itself. However, after this, there was a golden opportunity to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne, who came to bat at number three, on zero, but due to a mistake by Kohli, Team India could not dismiss him. Let us tell you that on the fifth ball of the same over being bowled by Bumrah, Labuschagne, who was on strike, was facing his first ball, and while defending, the ball went lightly from the bat towards slip and into the hands of Virat Kohli. Although Kohli took this catch, he could not handle the ball till the end and the catch was dropped. It will be worth seeing that Labuschagne gets this lease of life, otherwise the Indian team does not face a burden like the World Cup 2023.
