Mumbai Indians pacer Trent Boult believes that the best way to keep yourself motivated to achieve things in life is by remaining steady in all extreme situations. The Kiwi bowler also explained why it has been easy for him to be able to deliver better in the Mumbai Indians set up, as he is clear about his role. 

“I feel you can’t get too high when you are winning and can’t get too low when things aren’t going as smoothly as you want. I suppose it’s about remaining as steady as you can,” Boult said in a video uploaded by the Mumbai Indians on their official Twitter account. 

Talking about his role the left-arm fast bowler said, “One of the big things that I have come to understand about my role in this franchise is to try and pick early wickets and try to get the side off to a good start.” 

Boult, who was one of the best performers for the MI brigade in their title-winning campaign last year with 25 wickets in his kitty feels that IPl is one of the best platforms for players to showcase their talent. 

“The way I see is that the IPL is the biggest tournament in the world. It’s an incredibly big stage to be on and I feel very lucky to be here,” said the 31-year-old. 

The Rotorua born, who has 32 wickets in just 20 games for Mumbai believes that for bowlers to succeed in the shortest format, they have to keep on getting better every day. 

“I was lucky to feel a little bit of success but it’s an evolving format where you need to keep getting better because guys work you out easily,” said Boult 

Having won the Man of the Match award in a winning final for his team last year, boult also believes that what was achieved is now history and he and the teammates are ready to create some more memories. 

“So history is history and it’s about creating some more memories and great history in this jersey and I know that guys are excited to do that,” he said. 

The Mumbai Indians are up against Rajasthan Royals in their sixth match of the season and forts match of the Delhi leg. The match begins at 03.30 pm IST at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Langton Rusere becomes first black African to officiate in a Test match

Umpire Langton Rusere became the first black African to officiate in a Test match. Rusere made his debut during the first Test of the two-match series between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in Harare. Rusere began his career back in 2015 after standing in his first match in a T20I between Zimbabwe and India. He then officiated in his first ODI later in October in the same year during the clash between Zimbabwe and Afghanistan. Umpiring his first Test match after the T20 series between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, Rusere hosted the Zimbabwean downfall on day 1 as the home team stuttered at 46/4 at the time of writing. Back in October 2018, Rusere was named as one of the umpires for the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2018. He made history when he became Zimbabwean umpire to stand in the final of a major global cricket tournament. Rusere was one of the on-field umpires for the Women's World T20 final between Australia and England in Antigua in 2018. Pakistan is in Zimbabwe for a three-match T20I fixture and the Test series. The visitors won the T20I series 2-1 while began the Tests series on Thursday. Earlier, Zimbabwe had called-up five uncapped players for the Pakistan Tests.

Change in attitude has worked for us in this edition: CSK coach Stephen Fleming

Chennai Super Kings are on a winning streak in this IPL 2021. The MS Dhoni-led side have won five of the six matches that they played. CSK defeated SRH by 7 wickets on Wednesday in Delhi after chasing down a target of 172 runs. The Chennai-based team had a tough time last year after they failed to make it through to the playoffs. Comparing the two seasons, head coach Stephen Fleming admitted that the team faced some challenges in the UAE last year but the change in the attitude of the players has worked for them in this edition so far. “It was tough in the UAE (the last IPL’s venue). We had a pretty bad run. A lot of things went against us, which we didn’t make too much of at the time,” Fleming said. “We made some changes around our attitude towards what we were doing, and then we were really sure what style we wanted to play going into this year’s IPL,” he added. The IPL matches are taking place in neutral venues. Talking about the same, the former New Zealand captain pointed out that the team management was looking for the players who could chip in in foreign conditions and get the job done for the side. “…in the off season we just looked at players that could fit in and do a job – not just in Chennai but in conditions that were still a bit foreign. The attitude change as well,” the left-handed batsman said. CSK are presently sitting at the top of the table after a comprehensive win over SRH and will now play Mumbai Indians on Saturday in Delhi.
