PSL 2022 | This hilarious Imran Tahir antics will leave you in splits

Imran Tahir is known for many things. Exceptional reading of the game, his ability to beat batsmen in flight and of course for his top of the world sprinting celebration. Even at 42, Tahir plays the game like it is his first day in the field.

It seems that Tahir has added another asset to his repertoire, something that has absolutely floored the watchers of the game. And it is nothing but his hilarious antics in the field.

Playing for Multan Sultans in the PSL Final, Imran Tahir managed to review an LBW call that hit dead centre of the bat - an event that the umpire would not have been unsure about in a million years.

The incident came in the 13th over of the game with Mohammad Hafeez in the crease. Lahore Qalandars had a struggling start to the innings and were reduced to 25/3 inside the powerplay. Tahir and co. kept on the pressure and did all they could to eke out wickets.

However, a resilient Mohammad Hafeez stood his ground and worked his way through 69 off 46 balls, a crucial innings that arrested the collapse of the challengers looking to win their first PSL title.

Tahir bowled a full delivery to Hafeez in the 13th over which the player defended comprehensively only for Tahir to go upstairs. The failure of review did not stop Tahir from going into his classic celebration in the very next ball after he thought he had edged Hafeez back to the keeper.

The umpire and the batsman could not believe Tahir’s antics and started laughing in the middle of the pitch adding to a lovely moment in the PSL final.

At the time of writing, Lahore had dragged the game back to level ground owing to some late hitting from David Wiese and Harry Brook who put on a rapid 43 runs off just 16 balls to help Lahore get up t0 180 runs for the loss of 5 wickets.

IND vs SL | New look bowling attack run riot against visitors

India’s new look bowling attack ran circles around the Sri Lanka top order in the third T20I in Dharamshala on Sunday evening. With the series already wrapped up, India rested Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to make way for Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav and Avesh Khan. Mohammad Siraj was brought in as well to spearhead the attack in place of Ishan Kishan, who was ruled out after getting hit by a bouncer in the last game. After an initial burst from Mohammad Siraj and Avesh Khan in the powerplay, the visitors were reduced to 29/4 inside the first 9 overs, leaving them reeling in the final T20I of the series. Both bowlers troubled the opening batters with their zip of the pitch. Both the opening bowlers are known for their ability to hit the deck and the energy in their run up was infectious. Avesh Khan was the pick among the bowlers, bowling one maiden and picking 2 wickets from his first three overs, while Siraj and Bishnoi took one each. Kuldeep Yadav, who has been in and out of the team, bowled some gems as well, but his inconsistency in lines made him a little easier to play. However, to be fair to Kuldeep, he showed clear signs of development in his bowling, getting much flatter than he usually bowls and introducing a new slider against the right handers. The latter troubled the Sri Lankan batters and on at least three occasions he came very close to picking up their wicket. At the time of writing, Sri Lanka were 52/4 from 11 overs with Dinesh Chandimal and Dasun Shanaka in the crease. India are looking for their 12th straight T20I win having won the series already. If they do manage to win the game, they will be level against Afghanistan who are at the top of the table.

IPL 2022 | KKR to play MI in opener; ‘green channel’ permitted for players

The Indian Premier League will be back in action on Saturday, March 26. A 10-team tournament this time around, this cash-rich league will be played in Maharashtra to reduce the travel in pandemic conditions. With excitement building for the tournament to start, reports in the Indian media suggest that the opening encounter of the season will be played between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders. The finalists from the last season will take on the most successful team of the tournament to kick things off for a 74-match long season. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have already made it clear that 70 matches are going to be played across four stadiums in Maharashtra while the venues for the final four games are yet to be determined. But reports suggest that the tournament could well shift to Ahmedabad for the final flourish. Mumbai vs Kolkata has been a very one-sided contest in the history of the league, but the template might not be the same this time around, with Kolkata revamping their entire batting order. A report in the Times of India also suggests that the board has been assured of 'green channels' by the Maharashtra government so that players do not get stuck in Mumbai traffic jams en route stadiums. The BCCI will hope to host a full IPL season after last year's failures with the bio-bubble situation. This has unarguably been the prime reason behind keeping the majority of the tournament in one city so that players do not have to travel through public spaces like airport.
