Ankit Rajpoot News
The 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre on Sunday became the youngest player to play for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL history.
Sunrisers Hyderabad fast bowler Umran Malik joined a rare list of uncapped Indian bowlers to claim five-wicket haul in the Indian Premier League. Umran became only the fifth uncapped Indian bowlers to achieve this feat. In these collection of pictures, we take a look at uncapped Indian bowlers with five-wicket haul in IPL.
Easwaran struck 153 off 300 balls, his innings laced with 16 fours and two sixes after resuming on overnight score of 51 as India Red finished the day at 345/6 in 116 overs in reply to India Green's first innings total of 231.
Kieron Pollard's 31-ball 83 decimated Punjab hut the visiting side also had its share of stellar batting performances, by Gayle (63 off 36 balls) and K L Rahul (100 not out off 64 balls).
KXIP fast bowler Ankit Rajpoot achieved the best bowling figures of IPL 2018 on Thursday but his team ended up on the losing side at the end of the day against SRH owing to a batting collapse. Perhaps that's what prompted Rajpoot to say "IPL isn't easy".
Hyderabad registered their fifth win in seven IPL 2018 matches to move one place up to second in the standings on Thursday.
Punjab went from 55 for 0 to 119 all out in 19.2 overs to taste a 13-run defeat at the hands of Hyderabad in IPL 2018 on Thursday.
Fast bowler Ankit Rajpoot went from strength to strength during the SRH-KXIP encounter and achieved the best bowling figures (5/14) of IPL 2018 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday. Mumbai spinner Mayank Markande had the previous best figures (4/23).
In a low-scoring game, it just takes a couple of wickets to turn things around. KXIP were restricted to a lowly 143 by DD and there was happiness all over the dug-out. But little were they aware that on a tricky Kotla wicket, even a score of 143 was equivalent to chasing 180. With the ball stopping and coming, and rearing up at times, Ankit Rajpoot (2/23) applied proper maths to strike twice, while Andrew Tye (2/25) returned with a couple of scalps to clinch the purple cap. The duo replicated Liam Plunkett (3/17), Trent Boult (2/21) and Avesh Khan's (2/36) efforts to stun Delhi at their home ground.
He took a leaf out of Liam Plunkett's spell, who picked three wickets for 17 runs. Plunkett had hit the deck hard but not too short to sow seeds of confusion in Punjab's batsmen's minds.
Rohit, 30, however failed to last long as he departed in the ninth over, trapped in front by Ankit Rajpoot. Rohit made 27 off 21 balls.
UP's total of 163 proved enough as Baroda could make 125 runs only in the 20 overs losing seven wickets.
