Over the two days, 204 (137 Indians and 67 overseas) of the 296 players who went under the hammer earned a deal, but the remaining 93 failed to, with all fracnhises combined spending over INR 551 crore. Here’s how the final IPL 2022 squads stack up Chennai Super Kings Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo, Robin Uthappa, KM Asif, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana, N Jagadeesan, Hari Nishaanth, Subhranshu Senapati, Mukesh Choudhary, Simarjeet Singh, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Bhagath Varma, Prashant Sol...

  Was Expecting To Become Captain In 2007 T20 WC: Yuvraj Singh Yuvraj Singh said he had expected to be named India captain for the 2007 T20 World Cup before the selectors went with MS Dhoni, the southpaw said. Yuvraj said because most senior players like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble had decided to skip the 2007 World Cup, he thought he would lead the team on the basis of seniority. “There was quite a lot of turmoil in Indian cricket and then there was a two-month tour of England and there was also a month-long tour in between with South Africa and Ireland. And then there was a month of T20 World Cup so there were like four months away from home,” said Yuvraj in the ’22 Yarns’ podcast. “So probably the seniors thought that they needed a break and obviously, nobody took the T20 World Cup seriously. I was expecting to captain India in the T20 World Cup and then it was announced MS Dhoni would be the captain,” said Yu...

What do you do with Ollie Pope? Proclaiming that any young player, in any sport, is going to be a great before they’ve even been tested at the highest level is always an extremely dangerous thing to do. Those of us old enough to remember the hysteria when Graeme Hick had finally qualified and was selected to play for England in the early 90s or Mark Ramprakash’s sadly odd Test career can certainly testify to that. Worryingly, the same might be happening with Surrey’s Ollie Pope. Anyone associated with Surrey County Cricket Club has proclaimed Pope as the second coming since he broke through into the first team there four years ago. His rise was rapid and a little over a year later he was earning his first Test cap at Lord’s against India and despite some missed games here and there, he has now played in 17 Tests and averages just under 32. Everyone needs time to adjust to the increase in levels once you reach the pinnacle of your sport but besides a couple of innings in South Africa, w...
