 Pacer <keyword id="6357606" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ashish-Nehra">Ashish Nehra</keyword> got richer by Rs 5.5 crore, as he also joined the Orange Army of SRH.

	Yuvraj played for Kings XI Punjab and Pune Warriors India in the IPL before being snapped up by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2014 Player Auction for a whopping 14 crores, the all-rounder broke that record at the 2015 Player Auction when he was snapped up by Delhi Daredevils for 16 crores. 
	 
	Arguably Team India's best limited-overs all-rounder in recent years, Yuvraj emerged as the highest paid player in the last year's auction. Among the nine marquee players, Yuvraj Singh, Kevin Pietersen, Ishant Sharma, Ashish Nehra and <keyword id="6378477" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Shane-Watson">Shane Watson</keyword> have the highest base price of Rs 2 crore.

Mirpur: <keyword id="6364325" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Anil-Kumble">Anil Kumble</keyword>'s India record of 6 for 12 has been surpassed by an unlikely bowler in <keyword id="258548" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Stuart-Binny">Stuart Binny</keyword>, who dismantled Bangladesh with exemplary figures of 6 for 4 in 4.4 overs as the tourists took the series 2-0 with at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on Tuesday. "I'd love to take this wicket wherever I go," joked Binny after bowling India to a win that looked distant after they folded for 105 in 26.3 overs. 
 
In his third ODI, Binny picked up those scarcely believable figures by bowling honest, stump-to-stump medium pace on a Mirpur surface that assisted movement and produced considerable lift, more so after a two-hour rain delay early in the match. If India's batsmen had struggled against debutant seamer Taskin Ahmed, who took 5 for 23 to set the record for a Bangladesh debutant, then the hosts were totally floored by Binny to be all out for 58 in 17.4 overs. 
 
His analysis pipped Kumble's 21-year-old record achieved against West Indies on November 27, 1993 at Eden Gardens during the Hero Cup final. They are also the ninth-best figures by an ODI bowler overall. 
 
Binny, 30, came on at first change in the 12th over with the hosts 39 for 2 and removed Mushfiqur Rahim with his fourth ball, the Bangladesh captain gloving a catch to the wicketkeeper down the legside. In his second over, he removed Mithun Ali and Mahmudullah in successive balls, and though he missed a hat-trick, the Karnataka allrounder collected a fourth in due time when Mashrafe Mortaza edged a superb moving delivery to Wriddhiman Saha. That gave him figures of 4-2-4-4. 
 In his fifth over, Binny bowled <keyword id="810118" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Nasir-Hossain">Nasir Hossain</keyword> to record a five-wicket haul and two balls later the Bangladesh innings ended when Al-Amin Hossain was bowled for 0. India had been bowled out for the lowest ODI total against Bangladesh, but thanks to Binny and Mohit Sharma (4 for 22) to leave the home team stunned. 
 
Binny was voted Man of the Match, not surprisingly. "I think you wait for an opportunity when you're on top and you try to take it as far as you can. I got that opportunity today and made the most of it," he said.

Indian cricket team captain <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Virat+Kohli+&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Virat Kohli </a>feels that he is getting a lot of benefit from the experience of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Mahendra+Singh+Dhoni&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Mahendra Singh Dhoni</a> in taking decisions in the limited overs format, which is relatively new for him in terms of leadership. 
 
"Although I have captained in the Test format for a while, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=ODI&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">ODI</a> and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=T20&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">T20</a> games move very fast. So to take advice from a person (Dhoni) who has captained the side at this level for so long and understands the game really well is never a bad idea in crucial situations," Kohli said. 
 Kohli disclosed that he wanted <keyword id="6354903" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hardik-Pandya">Hardik Pandya</keyword> to bowl after star-performer Yuzvendra Chahal's quota was over but was advised by Dhoni and <keyword id="6357606" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ashish-Nehra">Ashish Nehra</keyword> to hand the ball to <keyword id="1627109" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jasprit-Bumrah">Jasprit Bumrah</keyword>, who scalped two wickets in three balls to finish the game. 
 
"Bringing on Bumrah right after that over from Chahal, I was thinking of giving (Hardik) Pandya another over instead. (Dhoni and Nehra) suggested that let's not wait till the 19th over and instead bring on the main bowlers. So these things really help when you are a new captain in the limited-overs format. But again, I am not new to captaincy, but there has to be a balance between understanding the skills needed to lead in shorter formats. MS has been helping a lot on that front." Kohli said. 
 
India claimed the T20 series 2-1 after a comprehensive 75-run win in the third and final T20, last night.

 In the final moments, <keyword id="6355981" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="England">England</keyword> needed 24 runs from the last 12 deliveries and skipper Kohli decided to man the long-on boundary. This is when Dhoni took over and was seen constantly speaking to senior campaigner <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Ashish+Nehra&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Ashish Nehra</a> as the duo plotted England’s downfall in the final stages, with <keyword id="1627109" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jasprit-Bumrah">Jasprit Bumrah</keyword> in tow. 
 
Also, after Nehra gave away 16 runs in the penultimate over, Dhoni took time to set the field as Bumrah marked his run-up to bowl the last over. Kohli was also constantly seen speaking to Dhoni from the long-on boundary as the former skipper held centre-stage. 
 
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Team+India&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Team India</a> won the match and Kohli ran in to join the celebrations after the thrilling win. Well, Dhoni once again showed that he is a man of his word. 
 
"It's just that I am in charge of decisions now and he (Dhoni) will be giving his views. When Dhoni was in-charge, I have always shared my point of view and thoughts with him. Eventually he has made those decisions. Sometimes it may immediately click and he makes those changes right away. Sometimes he still takes time to follow his instinct more and keep that as option B. As cricketers, we understand it is a pretty natural thing to have different perspectives about the game, about captaincy as well. His views will be priceless for me, as well. But I will have my preparation first and keeping his views in mind, maybe I will follow my instinct for a bit more (time) and then maybe switch to a different plan B from a different point of view,” Kohli had said.

LIVE IPL 2017, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Mustafizur makes a comeback before clash against Mumbai

New Delhi, Apr 8 () Former India left-arm pacer Ashish Nehra believes there is a possibility of the IPL taking place in the last quarter of the year, provided the COVID-19 pandemic is brought under control worldwide by the month of October. The IPL 2020, which was scheduled to be played from March 29, has been suspended till April 15 with no clarity yet on whether it would go ahead at all. "Even if the IPL doesn't happen in August, (because) there are a lot of places in India that witness rains during that month and there are high chances that lots of matches will get cancelled," Nehra told on Star Sports 1 Hindi show 'Cricket Connected'. "If things go back to normal around the world by October, we'll have a 100 per cent clearance," he reckoned. With the spike in coronavirus cases and deaths showing no signs of relenting across the world, there are slim chances of the IPL happening this year. The deadly contagion has claimed nearly 150 Indian lives apart from causing more than 80,000 global deaths which has forced countries, including India, to go under lockdown in their bid to flatten the curve. Meanwhile, Nehra feels former star all-aounder Yuvraj Singh has always excelled while playing under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy. "Yuvraj has played well under MS Dhoni, as far as I have seen Yuvraj's career, the way he has batted in 2007 and 2008 onwards it has been impeccable and in 2011 we saw how he braved his sickness and played brilliantly under Dhoni. "I feel every player has their own choice of a favourite captain when they play for 16 years and Yuvraj played well under Dhoni according to me," he said. SSC PM PM

IPL 2020 is 100 per cent possible if normalcy returns by October: Nehra

The new Ahmedabad-based <keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL" source="Orion">IPL</keyword> team, owned by CVC Capital, will be called <keyword id="6354766" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gujarat" source="Orion">Gujarat</keyword> Titans, the franchise revealed on Wednesday, days ahead of the mega auction. The naming of the Ahmedabad franchise comes days after the Lucknow-based team announced its official name as Lucknow Super Giants. Both Ahmedabad and Lucknow are two new entrants to the IPL and were bought by CVC Capital Partners (Irelia Company Pte Ltd) and RPSG Group respectively, last October. "Debuting in the 15th season of the IPL, the Gujarat Titans will pay tribute to the state's rich cricketing legacy, which has seen it produce countless Indian international cricket legends over the years," the franchise said in a statement on Wednesday. "The franchise is inspired by the opportunity to represent and build on this deep cricketing heritage, as well as build on its future success on the pitch," it added. India all-rounder Hardik Pandya (Rs 15 crore) will lead the Ahmedabad team while they have also picked Rashid Khan (Rs 15 crore) and Shubman Gill (Rs 8 crore) via drafts ahead of the auction. It will be only the second IPL team for all three players, with Rashid coming over from Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gill from Kolkata Knight Riders, and Pandya from Mumbai Indians. This will also be the first time Pandya will lead an IPL franchise. Titans have also named their coaching staff comprising Ashish Nehra (head coach), Gary Kirsten (mentor and batting coach) and Vikram Solanki (director of cricket). The trio has worked together for Royal Challengers Bangalore previously. Titans' home stadium will be the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the world's largest cricket stadium. "We want this group to achieve great things for Gujarat and its many passionate fans, which is why we have chosen the name Titans," Siddharth Patel, a partner at CVC, said. "As we approach the league's mega auction, we are confident that we will be able to put together the right combination of players going into the new season. We want individuals that are not only highly skilled but who are inspired to be Titans of the game. "We look forward to starting on our journey with the passion and support of the people of Gujarat, and hope to inspire and win over new fans from all over India and the world," he added. Titans will have Rs 52 crore in their purse for the auction, scheduled to be held in Bengaluru on February 12 and 13.

Between the first over, in which left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj dismissed <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/dwayne-smith/26001/10043">Dwayne Smith</a>, and the 20th, which saw pacer Kyle Abbott concede just five singles, CSK looted 228 runs at a rate of 12.66. Of those, 90 came off 43 balls to Raina, whose blistering innings contained eight sixes as he crossed 5000 runs in T20 cricket. And therein was the foundation of CSK's success. 
 
The T20 superstar briefly played second fiddle to <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/brendon-mccullum/26001/6035">Brendon McCullum</a>, who launched a stinging assault on the bowling as he tore into Craig Alexander and Abbott, but once he started to tee off it was bad news for Dolphins. Raina was on 17 off 12 balls balls when McCullum was 45 off 23, but soon caught up. He drew level with McCullum on the sixes tally with a couple off Andile Phehlukwayo in the seventh over, then went one ahead with another off a Robbie Frylinck slower ball. Each of his boundary shots resonated with a ferocity rarely associated with Raina, and you got the feeling something special was brewing. 
 
Though McCullum fell to Khaya Zondo for 49, he had helped CSK draw level with the quickest century stand in the CLT20, achieved, not surprisingly, at this same ground. Raina did not blink at the departure of his partner, hitting Zondo out of the attack as he galloped to his half-century in 27 balls. Maharaj returned and was effortlessly hit for two sixes, each with deft footwork and a beautiful follow-through; Daryn Smit was swung over long-on for Raina's eighth maximum. He was eventually out to the first ugly shot played, and Frylinck added another in the over when he yorked <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ms-dhoni/26001/4057">MS Dhoni </a>first ball. 
 
Faf du Plessis, whose contribution to the stand of 65 with Raina was 11, clattered three fours and a six revive CSK and Ravindra Jadeja smoked 24 off five balls in a partnership of 32 in 11 with Dwayne Bravo (11). Jadeja's 14-ball 40 was part muscle and part placement and lifted CSK to a winning total. 
 Left with a mountain to climb, Dolphins took 20 off the first over bowled by <keyword id="6357606" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ashish-Nehra">Ashish Nehra</keyword>, with left-hander Cameron Delport hitting two fours and a six. The second over produced 16 for the loss of van Wyk (17 off 7) though the Dolphins captain had reason to feel aggrieved after being given lbw by umpire K Srinath to a ball from R Ashwin that clearly pitched outside leg stump. Delport's approach of making room and slicing hard yielded a six and three fours off <keyword id="46772" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Mohit-Sharma">Mohit Sharma</keyword>, as Dolphins achieved the fastest team 50 in tournament history (15 balls), but the riposte was short-lived. Playing from the crease, Delport missed a slower one from Mohit and was bowled for a nine-ball 34. 
 
Cody Chetty took a liking to Jadeja's left-arm spin and Dolphins finished the Powerplay block on 85 for 2, but too many attempts to hit out meant chances for the fielders. Maharaj slogged at Mohit and missed and Chetty (38) picked out deep midwicket off Dwayne Bravo, allowing CSK room to breathe. From here, Dolphins lost in a slew of cross-batted hits and frenetic running, bowled out for 188 in 20 overs. Mohit finished with very credible figures of 4 for 41 after conceding 20 in his first five deliveries. 
 
Brief scores: CSK 242 for 6 in 20 overs (<keyword id="14587" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Suresh-Raina">Suresh Raina</keyword> 90, Brendon McCullum 49, Ravindra Jadeja 40*) beat Dolphins 188 in 20 overs (Cody Chetty 38, Cameron Delport 34; Mohit Sharma 4/41, Dwayne Bravo 2/16) by 54 runs

Raina-Charged CSK Make Dolphins Cry

By Kushan Sarkar New Delhi, Jul 13 () If the bio-secure first Test between England and the West Indies is any indicator then fast bowlers across the globe should forget about reverse swing for the time being, feels former India pacer Irfan Pathan. For another India veteran Ashish Nehra, Jimmy Anderson consistently bowling short of length was an indicator that even conventional swing was bit of a problem due to lack of saliva during the first international cricket match amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The ICC banned the use of saliva to shine the ball due to the threat of COVID-19 infection. "Jimmy Anderson was bowling short of length at times and he never bowls such short of length. Because the Dukes ball wasn't swinging. The reason being lack of shine with no saliva being allowed and whenever he tried pitching up, the Windies batsmen were driving easily," Nehra told on Monday. "Not being able to use saliva when there isn't much perspiration will be a problem. Anderson's strength is to pitch it up and get it to swing which leads to caught behind and slip catches. He looked half the bowler when it stopped swinging " said Nehra. Pathan, after watching Mark Wood and Jofra Archer bowl on the fifth day under bright sunshine, feels that for sometime, bowlers should "forget about getting reverse with the old ball". "Since saliva is thicker, it affects reverse swing more than conventional swing which requires sweat for shining the ball. Till the pandemic is there and the rule stays, the bowlers will have it a bit tougher than usual," Pathan, one of India's premier swing bowlers said during an interaction. So what's the solution according to Irfan? "Simple. Allow use of external substance or else for sometime forget that reverse swing exists. Make pitches that will be conducive to seam bowling." "If you ask me keep a bit of moisture to make it 60/40 in favour of bowlers. If there's moisture, the ball would grip the surface and then both sweat and saliva are out of equation. "Aap phir seam hit karo, harkat hoti rahegi (hit the seam and ball will move around). Or else there will be dead rubbers," Pathan explained. As the discussion veered towards how the kookaburra would behave in Australia, former wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta expressed an apprehension that bowlers across teams may have more problems. "The Australian tracks are flat and the kookaburra seam will flatten after 20 overs. With no saliva, it will be a more onerous task as there won't be reverse swing available. "Indian pacers will have a bigger challenge to deal with double pressure," Dasgupta said. When Pathan was asked about Australian conditions and Dasgupta's observation, he said that "finding the right length/good length on those tracks is the most important aspect." In turn, when Dasgupta was told Pathan's suggestion of keeping tracked moisture laden, he slightly differed. "Too much of moisture can create indents on the pitch and batting in the fourth innings may just become a challenge. Better to have two new balls from both ends. That allows spinners to get more purchase and bounce off the pitch," the former stumper said. Nehra partly agreed with Dasgupta. "It could well mean that the ball will just hold its line and move straight," he said. "Look Josh Hazlewood or Bhuvneshwar Kumar will have problems which a Kagiso Rabada or Archer won't because they have pace," Nehra reasoned. Nehra also feels that any batsman's Test average should be classified into two distinct phases -- the pre-COVID era when saliva was allowed and the post-COVID phase. "In ODIs, when you see Sachin Tendulkar, mind it you need to put his average into perspective. He played mostly with one white ball and five fielders outside the circle," Nehra said. On reverse swing in Australia, Nehra feels that sweat could do the job as conditions will be drier. "My problem again is not reverse swing in Australia. You can do that with a 40-over old ball but what will you do to keep the shine for conventional swing when it's new. "So after watching the first (England-West Indies) Test, I can say, not allowing saliva can have significant impact," he said. KHS PM PM
