Quinton de Kock available for selection for clash against KKR: Zaheer Khan

South Africa and Mumbai Indians wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock will be available for selection for Mi’s next fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders scheduled to take place on Tuesday, confirmed Director of Cricket Zaheer Khan. "Quinton is out of his quarantine. He did his practice session yesterday with the team, [he’s] looking forward to the season. So yes, he’s available for tomorrow’s game," Zaheer said. De Kock had missed the opening encounter against RCB as he had been serving a mandatory seven-day quarantine. De Kock has been an integral part of MI setup for quite sometime now while has a decent experience of playing in the IPL. He was earlier a part of the RCB franchise before joining Mumbai Indians. The left-handed batsman has played 66 IPL matches scoring 1959 runs at an average of 31.59 and a strike rate of over 133. Mumbai had a forgettable start to the campaign after they lost to RCB in Chennai in the first match of the tournament. Batting first, the Rohit-Sharma led side only managed 159/9 in 20 overs. Chris Lynn who made his debut for MI in this match top-scored with 49 while RCB’s Harshal Patel scalped a fifer during the course. Patel became the first bowler to pick a five-wicket haul against MI in the IPL. RCB had a steady start to chase but the fall of wickets at regular intervals in the middle overs pushed them on the backfoot before AB de Villiers came in for the rescue. The right-handed batsman scored 48 off 27 and helped RCB win the match by 2 wickets eventually.

Riyan is a special player, Sakariya bowled really well: Sangakkara hails youngsters

Rajasthan Royals might have ended up losing the close encounter against Punjab Kings but their director of cricket Kumar Sangakkara has heaped praise for the youngsters especially Riyan Parag who chipped in with a quick-fire 25 off 11 that included three maximums. RR were set a target of 222 by the Punjab Kings but they fell short of it by just 4 runs. Captain Sanju Samson scored a fine ton while Parag, Shivam Dube and Jos Buttler chipped in with some brisk batting display. “"Riyan is a special player as you would have seen," said Sangakkara after the game. "He has amazing hand speed and great composure,” Sangakkara said. Samson and Parag had a decent partnership of 52 runs before Parag was sent back in the hut by Mohammed Shami after being caught by KL Rahul behind the stumps. "When you play with freedom sometimes wickets do fall. Sanju and him had a wonderful partnership and got us into the game with batters to come to try and finish it. I'm really encouraged by the passion and the commitment shown by the younger players,” the former Sri Lankan captain added. Fast bowler Chetan Sakariya too impressed everyone with his bowling after the left-arm pacer returned with figures of 3/31 in 4 overs on a track that had a lot to offer to the batsmen. Talking about Sakariya, Sangakkara hailed the youngsters ability and admitted that he showed his skills in such a high-scoring match. “I think he was just brilliant. You know his skill was on display but it was really wonderful to watch him bowl well in such a high-scoring match,” he said. RR will now take on Delhi Capitals on April 15 in Mumbai.
