IPL 2020: Chennai Super Kings started their campaign with a win over defending champion Mumbai Indians. It was a record-breaking opening day for IPL as 20 crore people watched it and it is said that it is the record for the most-watched opening day in any sporting league ever. CSK will enter as a favorite in a game against RR.   


Josh Buttler will not play against CSK in their first game of this season's IPL. He will miss a game due to quarantine rules. In a series against Australia, he scored 44 and 77 runs to help his team to get series. He is a vital player for Rajasthan Royals and it is a big blow for them in the first game against Chennai Super Kings which teams moral has on a high level after the first game's win. 


Another huge blow for Rajasthan Royals as they are not sure about Ben Stokes' availability.  Ben Stokes is one of the best all-rounders in today's cricket in all formats of the game. If he will not play this season for Rajasthan than it will be the biggest loss for Rajasthan. 


Steve Smith is the pillar of Rajasthan Royals in their batting lineup. Rajasthan has a very good Indian player- Sanju Samson, Robin Uthappa. Also, they have a very good role player in a team who can contribute with the bat.


Rajasthan Royals have some issues with a bowling line up. Jaydev Unadkat will lead the bowling. 


Chennai Super already showed their form against Mumbai Indians. They have MS Dhoni, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ravindra Jadeja, Ambati Raydu who made a half-century against MI to give a win to his team.    


CSK has a good bowling line up not the best. Chennai has an upper hand and they will enter as the heavy favorite in this game against RR as Buttler and Ben Stokes will not play in a game for Rajasthan Royals. Piyush Chawla and Ravindra Jadeja both took 15+ Wickets against RR.

 

Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals played each other 21 times in IPL. CSK lead with 14 wins to RR's 7 wins. Last season CSK won both of their games.

IPL: Mumbai Indians Vs Chennai Super Kings, The rivalry of an IPL

Image Credit:@twitter/@SunRisers/@RCBTweets


Royal Challengers Bangalore Vs Sunrises Hyderabad, It's a match-up between two South Indian Teams at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. 


RCB played 3-times in the finals but they never won any titles in these all seasons of IPL. Now This season RCB has a better opportunity to win a title with their star-studded team. RCB will start their campaign against Sunrises Hyderabad in the IPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore has a chance to win the title in 2016 but they failed to win against the same team Hyderabad Sunrises. 

 

IPL's matches become more exiting ever this season than with the result of the first 2 games. CSK defeated Mumbai Indians in the opener of the IPL. The second match went to super over where Delhi Capitals beat Kings XI Punjab in the super over. 


RCB has players like Virat Kohli who is in great form for India and he will try to do the same thing for his club. AB de Villiers is the other superstar who can give win RCB single-handedly. RCB has other good foreign players like Finch and  Moeen Ali(all-rounder) who are capable of changing a result of a match on their own. 

    

Sunrises Hyderabad has Kane Williamson, Jonny Bairstow, David Warner, Manish Pandey. Kane Williams, David Warner, and Jonny Bairstow are the players who can change a result at any Moment, Especially David Warner. 


Sunrises Hyderabad has a very good mixture of fast bowling and spin bowling. Bhuveneshwar Kumar will lead Sunrises Hyderbad's pace bawling with Ahmed and Sandeep Sharma while They have Rashid Khan who is one of the best spin bowlers in this format of a game. Nabi and Nadeem are the other 2 who rarely disappoints.  


RCB has not good bowling lineup as SRH. Umesh Yadav will lead the pace bowling line up meanwhile Chahal and Pawan Negi will lead the spin department. Moeen Ali is an allrounder who can give a headache to the opposition batsman with his spin bowling. 


SRH has one of the best batting lineups at the top order but they are not good in the middle order. RCB has the same problem as SRH as they don't have a strong middle order.      


It's a 50-50 to tell who will win this match: RCB or SRH. RCB has a better chance to win a game because they have an energetic captain like who will boost  RCB to play at their highest level in a game. Virat Kohli and AB Devilliers made the highest partnership for RCB against SRH in IPL and it is 157. 


Both teams played each other 15 times, in that SRH lead with 8 wins and RCB win 6 games.

IPL is one of the biggest tournaments in Cricket which is played in India. It is a domestic tournament just like the English Premier League, NBA, La Liga, Serie A, NFL, etc. This tournament getting more and more popular with a shorter format of cricket all over the world. This time IPL tournament will be played in UAE due to Corona Pandemic. 


This is a format of 20 overs format and fans like it a lot. IPL making it's returned to Gulf on Saturday with the Indian Premier League. Last season Mumbai Indian was the one who lifted a trophy. defending champion Mumbai Indians will face another heavy favorite to win this year's IPL trophy Chennai Super Kings. Players from all over the world will be there who are playing for other countries but they have to follow some rules due to the bubble environment. Every sport follows these rules who are already started.


Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have an old rivalry. There are already passed 12 years of IPL but this is the second time, It will be played outside of India. Last season Mumbai Indian won an IPL against their arch-rival Chennai Super Kings and it was just by one run. 


Mumbai Indians is the most successful team in IPL history with 4 titles meanwhile Chennai Super Kings comes after Mumbai Indians with 3 IPL titles.


Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings have faced each other 28 times in IPL and Mumbai Indians have 17 wins meanwhile Chennai Superkings won 11 games against each other. Mumbai Indians always got the upper hand in IPL. They also faced 3 times in the Final and here also Mumbai Indians lead with 2-1 finals win.  


Cricket Legend and hailed as a god of cricket by Fans, Sachin Tendulkar is giving his thaught:



Chennai Super Kings already faced a blow with their star player withdraw from IPL due to some family issues. Mumbai Indian will play without their star bowler Lasith Malinga but Mumbai Indian has another depth bowler who can fill Malinga's absence. 


Mumbai Indians have very good bowlers in a team like Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Mitchell McClenaghan who can give a hard time to the opposition team's batsmen. Rahul Chahar is a spinner who will be the main factor in this IPL for Mumbi Indians alongside Jasprit Bumrh and Trent Boult. 


Chennai Super Kings lacks bowling in their line up this year but they have all-rounders like Jadeja, Watson, Bravo, Santner, Kedar Jadhav, Sam Curran, and captain cool M.S.Dhoni who recently said goodbye to International Cricket. 


Imran Tahir and Ravindra Jadeja will lead Chennai Super Kings in a spin bowling department. Chennai Super Kings have a very good spinner bowling line up. 


Mumbai Indians have batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Quinton de Kock, Blizzard, and Kieron Pollard who can turn a moment of a match on their own performance. Chennai Superkings also have players who can change the momentum of any game at any moment on their own. M.S.Dhoni, Shan Watson, Ravindra Jadeja, and Faf du Plessis are those players. 


Lungi Ngidi will shine under the captaincy of M.S.Dhoni. He is a face of South African cricket with  Rabada. 


As per the paper view, Mumbai Indians look a better team with their hard-hitting batting line up and young players. Chennai Super Kings have many all-rounders and batsmen in the team but they are now old and can't play with high energy. So Mumbai Indians have a better chance to win this game.

MS Dhoni, A man who gives many things to Cricket of India. In the leadership of Dhoni India won first ever T20 World Cup and one-day cricket world up in 2011. Dhoni is the only Indian Captian who won all ICC tournaments. Dhoni already retired from Test Cricket in 2014 and now he made the decision to retire from all format of International Cricket.

The Great Sachin Tendulkar tweeted this on Dhoni's retirement : 

Dhoni made an Instagram post, " Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout. from 1929hrs consider me as retired."


India achieved so many things under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. The first trophy India won under his captaincy was the T20 world cup in 2007 in Africa against Pakistan. After that India never looked back in cricket. India won Champions Trophy in 2013 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. India was the top-ranked side in Test from December 2009 to June 2011. India also won the CB Tri-series in Australia which was always looking impossible for India. He took the crown of the best captain of the test from Saurav Ganguly when he registered 22nd win with India in Test. 


His most important achievement was the 2011 one day cricket world cup. There were many players who gave their best to win a world cup for India like Yuvaraj, Gambhir, and The Great Sachin Tendulkar, Zahir Khan, and other bowlers but the MS Dhoni was the one who finished a final with his trademark helicopter shot hitting six. India enjoyed this moment as a festival. This shows what is the meaning of this achievement.


Dhoni is not only India's most successful captain and one of the top batsman but he is the top 3 wicketkeeper of all time. He comes on the third number with 829 dismissals in all format of cricket behind March Boucher(998) and Adam Gilchrist(905)


MS Dhoni played his last one day game against New Zeland in the world cup semi-final where India lost to New Zeland. Dhoni made his debut in 2004 against Bangladesh at the age of 23 in Indian Jersey. Dhoni's name came on everyone's mouth when he scored 148 runs against Pakistan which was his first ton in International cricket. 


MS Dhoni is known for his coolness and composer in a game when he was taking any decision. MS Dhoni shows every sports fan in the world that how a small-town boy can become a leader of a big team with his leadership quality, hard work, dedication, decision-making abilities in any situation and composure. These abilities put him today where he is now and put him in a different category than other players.     


It's impossible for India to ever get a player like him. There will be always impossible to fill a hole with is left by Dhoni. 


Now He is the captain of IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings and he will lead his team in IPL which will take place in UAE.

Now Vivo is no longer a sponsor of an IPL means BCCI needs to find some new partners and they decided to expand official partners from 3 to 5. BCCI wants to bring these two additional partners with the average commitment of 40 cr in INR each. BCCI wants to raise nearly 300cr in INR after the exit of VIVO. 


As per the report in the Times of India, The BCCI could also surprise everyone by landing a totally different title sponsor in comparison to the brands that are being talked about right now.


There was a withdrawal from VIVO from the sponsorship of the IPL due to some political tension between Indo-china. They have made a deal of  440cr in INR with BCCI for sponsorship of IPL with BCCI and now they left means there is a big loss for BCCI.


Now there is another circumstance of the corona pandemic because of that many things will be difficult for BCCI to organize and matter of sponsorship to raise money. 


There are many companies that are willing to take this sponsorship like Amazon, Byju's, and Dream 11. These companies are in the race for sponsorship of IPL.     


As per Times of India," If Byju's attempt to big for the title rights succeed, Unacademy will have to make way or make a higher bid " and the will only be for a four-month window.  


BCCI is not showing all his trump card and they are hopeful to get a big sponsor. Byju is the sponsor of the Indian cricket team and cricket hasn't played until March after coronavirus pandemic Which helps them to save money and they will have a chance to compete for the sponsorship of the IPL. 


Amazon is the biggest one to compete for the sponsorship If they come to the table, Other companies have fewer chances to take sponsorship.


This year IPL will be played in the United Arab Emirates due to the coronavirus and there are 8 teams to take part in it. The tournament will be played between 19 September to 10  November of 2020.  



                                                                                                                      From Twitter/@imVkohli


There is always a comparison in any sports in the world. In Cricket and In India Sachin hailed as a god of cricket and Virat Kohli called as a King.

 Gautam Gambhir is a former Indian Cricketer who gave India many match-winning innings who picks Sachin Tendulkar between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.

Gambhir gave some reason why he chooses Sachin Tendulkar Over Virat Kohli because Today's Cricket becomes easier for a batsman than it was during Tendulkar's Era.  

Sachin Tendulkar has so many records in his book. he is the First Person to score 200 in an ODI, the First to achieve scoring 100 hundred in a Game of The Cricket. Besides this Sachin Tendulkar has so many Records. 


On a Star Sports show "Cricket Connected", the question asked to Gambhir who he picks between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, He picks Sachin and gave some reason," Because, with one white ball and four fielders inside the circle, not five fielders outside, it will be Sachin for me. It's difficult because Virat Kohli has done phenomenally well but I think the rules have changed as well which has helped a lot of new batters. A new generation with two new balls, no reverse swings, nothing to the finger spin, five fielders inside for the 50 overs probably that makes batting easier." 

He also added that" Look at how Sachin Tendulkar has played, that time 230-240 was a winning total. probably I will go with Sachin Tendulkar if we see the longevity and flow of the one-day Cricket Format."

Kohli is doing great in today's Cricket and he is the best Cricketer of today's Era. He scored 27 Test Centuries and 43 ODI Centuries, He has the potential to break Sachin's 100 Century record. 

Kohli is 31 years old and he has much Cricket left in him, If he scores a minimum of 2 centuries each year within 4 years he will break Sachin's record in the ODI Format for the most Centuries.

and In Test He is far behind Sachin's 51 centuries, Kohli has scored 27 centuries in Test and he is 24 centuries behind Sachin's 51. In Test, It looks like it's going to be difficult to break Sachin's record. Sachin scored 15921 runs in the Test and Kohli scored 7240 runs in Test. He is 8681 runs behind from breaking Sachin's record in the test for most runs. In ODI he scored 11867 runs compared to Sachin's 18426 runs. Kohli has a chance to break Sachin's ODI centuries record but for other records, it's going to be difficult for him to break.

Because of the easy format and easy rules in Today's Era compared to Sachin's Era, Gautam Gambhir picks Sachin over Virat Kohli.
