Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Lions - Indian Premier League - 15th match

Gujrat Lions won all of their first 03 matches against the strongest contenders. But this time they have lost a match against a considerably weaker side that is Sunrisers Hyderbad. The stronger part of the Hyderabad team is their captain, David Warner himself. He is in outstanding form this season and probably the top scorer of IPL up till now. In chase of a total of 136 runs, Sunrisers did not lose a single wicket and the openers won the match for them in 14.5 overs. S. Dhawan who was in bad form from the start of the tournament has also scored an unbeaten knock of 53 runs. DA Warner remained unbeaten with 74 runs. From the balling department, B. Kumar took four wickets and remained player of the match. That is very impressive performance by the team. Suresh Raina was the top scorer from Lions side having 75 runs on the board.

Rangana Herath Took ODI's & T20I's Retirement

It has been a big news for the Sri Lankan Cricket as the heart and soul of Sri Lankan Spin balling attack, Rangana Herath took retirement from One Day International and T20 formats. The player is looking to focus on test cricket only. The player explained that they need to play twelve tests in upcoming 08 months, so he believes it is better to get retirement from the shorter formats. He already took 297 wickets for Sri Lanka in 67 tests. He is very reliable in all sorts of games and cricketing formats.


The players has turned to 38 years of age this year and perhaps it is a better decision to just focus on test cricket only, giving him rest a bit to play sharper cricket only.

Misbah ul Haq The Torchbearer of Pakistan Cricket

Pakistan Cricket has seen great success under Misbah ul Haq's test captaincy. He is acknowledged as the most successful Pakistan test team captain in the Pakistan Cricket history. The player is a blend of cool mentality and as well as aggressive approach. He can stay long in the crease without scoring a run whenever needed and he can play aggressively as to when it is needed. He is the second fastest century scorer in the test format. Recently Brendum McCulum broken his fastest test hundred record.



Pakistan Cricket Board requested Misbah ul Haq to stay long as much as he can for the betterment of Pakistan cricket. He is turning 42 years of age now and he is planning to still stay as a player and as a captain till late this year. He has to lead the side in the foreign tours to England and Australia. These would definitely be tough tours as the conditions in subcontinent and England or Australia are different. Earlier Pakistani batsmen struggled a lot in such tours. So, it is best for Pakistan cricket team that Misbah ul Haq could lead the side in such tough situations.

Cricket West Indies Born For T20Is

West Indies Cricket Team has a style of playing extremely aggressive cricket. The thing which is popular for them, they hit sixes and fours more than rotating strike between wickets. This is some characteristic that no other team prevails. The team has hitters till the no. 08 or no. 09 positions. There are many allrounders playing in the side, who can contribute to batting and balling as well. West Indies won the world cup in 2012 and recently they repeated their performance by winning the World T20I  in 2016.



The team has been the most successful one in the T20 formats. Some of the world class teams have failed to perform in the T20I likewise Australia and South Africa. Australian Cricket Team tops the ICC ranking both in One-days and tests but they have not won the T20 World Cup as of yet. They were not able to qualify for the semi final stage in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016. This is due to their mature and humble cricket. They rely more on rotating the strikes rather than hitting sixes and that's what make the world champions competitive and different in their approach.

All other teams have to learn this art of hitting sixes and fours, this would rather help them building T20 spirit. Carlos Braithwaite hit four consecutive sixes to Ben Stokes, who is one of the core players and allrounders for the England side. To finish T20 world cup in this style is simply outstanding.
