Powell, who set his base price at Rs 1 crore, received the opening bid from <keyword id="6354467" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="kolkata-knight-riders" source="Orion">Kolkata Knight Riders</keyword>. Rajasthan Royals jumped in and competed for Powell. Powell captained Barbados Royals in the CPL and ended up walking away with a whopping sum of Rs 7.4 crore. Kolkata bid hard but Rajasthan edged past them to acquire the services of the batter. The WI T20I skipper has featured in 66 T20Is, scoring 1,202 runs at an average of 26.71 and a strike rate of above 143, with a century and five fifties. Head, who produced remarkable performances in the World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup final earlier this year, was one of the names with a hefty price tag. Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad were engaged in a fierce bidding battle. However, Head became a part of the Orange family for a price tag of 6.8 crore. On the other hand, former SRH player, Harry Brook was acquired by Delhi Capitals for Rs 4 crore, unlike his previous hefty price tag of Rs 13.25 crore. The young right-handed batter has represented England in 27 T20Is, scoring 531 in 25 innings at an average of 27.94 and a strike rate of above 145, with two half-centuries. He had an underwhelming IPL last season with Sunrisers Hyderabad after being bought for Rs 13.25 crores, scoring just 190 runs in 11 matches at an average of 21.11, with one century. Overall in 125 T20s, he has scored 3,019 runs at an average of over 33 and strike rate above 150, with three centuries and 11 fifties.

IPL Auction: Rovman Powell moves to Rajasthan for whopping sum, SRH breaks bank for  Travis Head

<keyword id="238471" type="General" weightage="60" keywordseo="chris-woakes" source="Orion">Chris Woakes</keyword> and <keyword id="4120840" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="harry-brook" source="Orion">Harry Brook</keyword> put on an impressive display with the bat, supported by Mark Wood's crucial contribution in the final moments of the game, leading England to a thrilling 3-wicket victory over Australia on Day 4 of the third Test at Headingley Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Five years ago Ben Stokes scripted history by pulling off one of the most remarkable victories in the history of Test cricket against Australia. Now, five years later the result still favoured England, Australia was once again on the receiving end but the only difference was Woakes and Stokes switching their roles. England resumed the session with a score of 154/4 with Harry Brook batting (40*) and Ben Stokes (7*) on the crease. Australia tipped the balance of scale as Mitchell <keyword id="1596377" type="General" weightage="40" keywordseo="starc" source="Orion">Starc</keyword> dismissed Stokes and Bairstow in quick succession. Starc with his experience ensured Stokes didn't pull off another Headingler miracle on them. The ball glanced off his bat and went straight into the hands of Alex Carey. Bairstow was next to follow as he tried to go for a bid drive, found an inside edge and the ball crashed into the stumps. Brook held England's innings together after facing an unprecedented setback. Chris Woakes joined hands with him and they pushed England close to victory with a half-century stand. With the game slipping away from their hands, Starc was called back into the thick of the action as Harry Brook continued to carry the hosts towards the finish line successfully. He sent back the young England batter with the hosts needing just over 20 runs to win and leaving Australia just three wickets away from victory. But, Mark Wood hit a crucial six off Pat Cummins next over and then smashed a Starc half-volley for four in the next over to put all fears of an Australian comeback back to their place. Woakes finished off the game by finding the fence and the crowd let out a nostalgic roar which echoed the feeling of 2019. Earlier in the match, England ended day three at 27/0, with Ben Duckett (18*) and Zak Crawley (9*) unbeaten. They are chasing 251 runs to keep the <keyword id="45331" type="General" weightage="70" keywordseo="ashes" source="Orion">Ashes</keyword> alive. On Day 3, Australia was bundled out for 224 in their second innings. Important knocks came from Head (77), Usman Khawaja (43) and Marnus Labuschagne (33). Australia was once reduced to 90/4, but a 41-run stand between Head and Mitchell Marsh (28) and another 41-run stand between Head and Todd Murphy (11) took Aussies lead to 250 runs. Stuart Broad (3/45), Chris Woakes (3/68), Mark Wood (2/66) were the best bowlers for England. The pace trio helped England get a tight grip on the game. Moeen Ali also took two wickets. Also, England was in huge trouble in their first innings and was at 87/5 at one point with Zak Crawley (33) being a key contributor at the top. Another Headingley masterclass from Stokes (80 in 108 balls with six fours and five sixes) and important knocks from Moeen Ali (21) and Mark Wood (24 in eight balls, with one four and three sixes) took England to 237. England were trailing Australia by 26 runs. Pat Cummins, the skipper was the best bowler for Aussies, taking 6/91. Mitchell Starc took two wickets. Mitchell Marsh and Todd Murphy got one each. England put Australia to bat first and the visitors were bundled out for 263 runs in 60.4 overs. Australia slipped to 85/4, but with a 155-run stand for the fifth wicket between Mitchell Marsh (118 in 118 balls, 17 fours and four sixes) and Travis Head (39 in 74 balls), the Aussies were back on track. But after the dismissal of these two batters, Australia experienced another collapse and was bundled out for 263 runs. Wood (5/34) was the pick of the bowlers for England. Chris Woakes (3/73) and Stuart Broad (2/58) also bowled really well. Brief Score: AUS 263 &amp; 224 (Travis head 77, Usman Khawaja 43; Stuart Broad 3-45) vs England 237 &amp; 254/7 (Harry Brrok 75, Zack Crawley 44; Mitchell Starc 5/78).

Bumrah achieved the milestone after picking up two wickets against Jos Buttler's side. In the ongoing marquee event, Bumrah has 13 wickets for <keyword id="20015089" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Team-India" source="keywords">Team India</keyword>. Meanwhile, India left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is the highest wicket-taker for the Men in Blue in a single edition of the T20 World Cup. Against the Three Lions on Thursday, Arshdeep failed to pick any wickets in his two-over spells. The 25-year-old has 15 wickets in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. Former India cricketer RP Singh holds the third place in the chart after he bagged 12 wickets in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Recapping India's previous match against England in the semi-final, Jos Buttler's side won the toss and decided to bowl against the Men in Blue. <keyword id="19899523" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rohit-Sharma" source="keywords">Rohit Sharma</keyword> (57 runs from 39 balls, 6 fours and 2 sixes) and Suryakumar Yadav (47 runs from 36 balls, 4 fours and 2 sixes) helped India power to 171/7. Hardik Pandya (23 runs from 13 balls, 1 four and 2 sixes) and Ravindra Jadeja (17* runs from 9 balls, 2 fours) also played a supporting role in the first innings. Chris Jordan led the England bowling attack after he bagged three wickets and gave away 37 runs in his three-over spell. During the run chase, England failed to understand the nature of the surface and eventually could only reach a total of 103 in 16.4 overs. Harry Brook (25 runs from 19 balls, 3 fours) and Jos Buttler (23 runs from 15 balls, 4 fours) were the only standout batters for the Three Lions. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav led the Indian bowling attack with both of them picking up three wickets in their respective spells and helping India clinch a 68-run win. Jasprit Bumrah bagged two wickets while defending the 172-run target. The final of the T20 World Cup is now perfectly set as the clash between the unbeaten sides, India and South Africa, is set to take place in Barbados on Saturday.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 27 (ANI): Ahead of his side's ICC <keyword id="152505" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup-semifinal" source="Orion">T20 World Cup semifinal</keyword> clash against India, former England cricketer <keyword id="45330" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paul-Collingwood" source="Orion">Paul Collingwood</keyword> hailed Men in Blue pace spearhead <keyword id="1627109" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jasprit-Bumrah" source="Orion">Jasprit Bumrah</keyword>, calling him the "<keyword id="22196639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="best-cricketer-in-the-world" source="Orion">best cricketer in the world</keyword>". It will be a rematch of the semifinal from the 2022 edition of the tournament as a red-hot Team India will meet England in the second semifinal of the ongoing ICC <keyword id="19921630" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="keywords">T20 World Cup</keyword> at Guyana on Thursday. The last time these two nations faced off in a Men's T20 World Cup semi-final was just 19 months ago in Adelaide, when a remarkable opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales saw England cruise to 10 wicket win that forced a complete rethink in India's T20 strategy and move away from more established superstars to younger blood, from conservatism to aggression. This time around, India has more batting firepower led by experienced campaigners skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, more attacking options through the middle overs, and more variation in their attack. But the defending champions will take some beating, especially with skipper Jos Buttler and his new opening partner Phil Salt both in blistering form. Speaking exclusively in the Star Sports Press Room, former England captain Collingwood spoke on the impact <keyword id="19989685" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bumrah" source="keywords">Bumrah</keyword> has on the <keyword id="8675" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="indian-cricket-team" source="Orion">Indian cricket team</keyword>. He said, "I think if you had a piece of paper and had to pick a cricket team, in any form of the game, Jasprit Bumrah would be the first name going on that list right at the top. It is as simple as that. He is the best cricketer in the world at this moment. The skill level, the pace, and the deception that he has in T20 cricket are incredible." However, Collingwood said that England is playing an aggressive brand of cricket and if they manage to attack Jasprit, it will have a huge affect on the game. He also advised England not to take a conservative approach and focus on just seeing off Bumrah safely. "You saw Travis Head get after Bumrah a couple of times, in the Australia match. And the impact it has if the opposition takes down your spearhead could dishearten the Indian cricket team. So that is an approach that England may take, but it is a risky one because we know how skillful and how many wickets Bumrah can take," he concluded. In six matches, Bumrah has taken 11 wickets so far in the tournament at an average of 8.54 and an economy rate of just above 4. His best bowling figures are 3/7. England is just two games away from making history and becoming the first men's team to retain a T20 World Cup, as per the ICC. On the other hand, India has not won this tournament since its inception back in 2007, and is searching for its first World Cup win in any format since 2011's 50-over tournament. India's last ICC trophy was in 2013, when they captured the ICC Champions Trophy in England. India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj. England squad: Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonathan Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, Mark Wood.

The clash between the two unbeaten sides has been after the Rohit Sharma-led side defeated England by 68 runs at the Providence Stadium, Guyana. The Indian team avenged their 10-wicket defeat that came at the hands of England in 2022. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav led the Indian bowling attack with both of them picking up three wickets in their respective spells and helping India clinch a 68-run win. Jasprit Bumrah bagged two wickets while defending the 172-run target. India will play their first T20 final in 10 years. The last time they stepped into the stadium to play a final saw them lose against Sri Lanka in 2014. Rohit Sharma's side will be looking forward to ending India's drought for an ICC trophy since 2013's Champions Trophy and also winning their first <keyword id="21094644" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-WC" source="keywords">T20 WC</keyword> since 2007's inaugural edition in South Africa. England captain <keyword id="19904275" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jos-Buttler" source="keywords">Jos Buttler</keyword> and Philip Salt provided the defending champions with a good start, hitting boundaries initially. With England scoring at a healthy run rate of more than 8, visions of the 2022 World Cup semi-final started to slowly rise within the Indian fans. The floodgates opened, and Jasprit Bumrah was the first one to capitalise on it. He set Salt up with a perfect slower off-cutter to go past Salt's defence and send him back with a score of 5. Axar caught Jonny Bairstow off guard with a delivery that skidded off the surface. Bairstow played for the turn that never came. The ball struck the off-stump, ending the English batter's night for a three-ball duck. Rohit decided to put the nail in the coffin by introducing the 'Chinaman' spinner Kuldeep Yadav into the attack. With Kuldeep on the other end, Axar picked his third of the night with Moeen Ali slipping and failing to put his bat past the crease. Pant dislodged the bails, sealing Moeen's trip back to the dressing room for 8. Kuldeep struck on the first ball of his second over, pinning Sam Curran in front of the stumps on the first ball of his second over. Kuldeep took a three-wicket haul by removing Harry Brook and <keyword id="21497657" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chris-Jordan" source="keywords">Chris Jordan</keyword>. India took a step closer to victory after a mixup that led to Liam Livingstone's dismissal. India captain Rohit Sharma lavished praise on the gun spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel for the spectacle they produced in the game. "They (Axar and Kuldeep) are gun spinners. When the conditions like that are in front of them, it’s difficult to play some shots. The pressure is on them as well to come and execute those balls, but they were calm and knew what to bowl. We had a little chat after the first innings - try and hit the stumps as much as possible, keep the stumps in play," Rohit said in the post-match presentation. Jofra Archer gave English fans something to cheer about with a couple of boundaries. But England eventually folded on 103 and crashed out of the competition, with India marching into the final. <keyword id="19908088" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="suryakumar-yadav" source="keywords">Suryakumar Yadav</keyword> (47) and Hardik Pandya (23 off 13) played crucial cameos to aid India's cause.
