VIJAY HAZARE TROPHY 2020-21 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet Shaw, who was captaining Mumbai for the first time in the absence of the rested Shreyas Iyer, registered the seventh-highest List A score. © Getty Group D Puducherry v Mumbai Captain Prithvi Shaw plundered an unbeaten 227* as Mumbai posted 457/4 and buried Puducherry under a mountain of runs to win by 233 and extend their unbeaten start to the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The final result of the game became but a footnote amid the statistical records stacked up in the first innings. Shaw, who was captaining Mumbai for the first time in the absence of the rested Shreyas Iyer, registered the seventh-highest List A score. He batted through the innings, studding his 152-ball knock with 31 fours and 5 sixes. In terms of strike-rates though, he was outdone on the day by Suryakumar Yadav who smashed 133 off 58 balls. The pair added 201 runs for the … [Read more...] about Shaw’s record 227 extends Mumbai’s unbeaten run

THE IPL POWER by Telford Vice • Published on Share Tweet Chris Morris returns to the Rajasthan Royals, a team he played for in IPL 2015. © BCCI Money doesn't seem to have changed Chris Morris. He was as affable as always in the minutes before an online press conference on Thursday (February 15). Looking into his camera, and the view it afforded onlookers, he quipped: "I've got to do something about my background. It used to be pictures of Faf topless." Asked if he would be up to answering a question in Afrikaans, he replied: "I haven't drunk enough brandy in my life to be able to speak Afrikaans." You might say someone who was bought for almost USD 2.3-million by the Rajasthan Royals in last week's IPL auction could afford to be cheerful. But Morris has been thus inclined since his idea of a dream car was a Volkswagen Citi Golf, which he drove until the Chennai Super Kings paid him USD625,000 in 2013.

World champion and Olympic silver medallist Sindhu, who had won the prestigious title in 2018, has been clubbed in Group 'B' alongside top-ranked Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei and home favourites Ratchanok Intanon and Pornpawee Chochuwong. Sindhu's comeback to international badminton after the coronavirus-induced break was not as good as she would have expected. The Indian, who has been training in London for the last few months, couldn't go the distance after losing a close opening match in Thailand Open, the first of the Asia leg. In the second event last week, Sindhu suffered a demoralising straight game defeat against former world champion Ratchanok in the quarterfinals and she will have to gather herself as she opens her campaign against magician Tzu Ying, who reached the finals in both the Thailand Opens. Former world number one Srikanth, on the other hand, has been clubbed in Group 'B' with Denmark's Anders Antonsen, Chinese Taipei's Wang Tzu Wei and Hong Kong's NG Ka … [Read more...] about PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth look to turn the tide at BWF World Tour Finals

Getty Images A report from TheAthletic.com on Monday indicated the Raiders would rather trade Marcus Mariota than Derek Carr . That was followed by Ian Rapoport of NFL Media on Monday who reports the Raiders are receiving “ legitimate and real ” trade interest in Mariota. Mariota has a $10.63 million salary-cap hit, which is what the Raiders can save — with no dead money — if they trade him. Mariota, 27, played one game for the Raiders last season, a 30-27 loss to the Chargers in Week 15. He went 17-of-28 for 226 yards with a touchdown, while rushing for 88 yards and a score on nine carries in relief of the injured Carr. The Titans made Mariota the No. 2 overall choice in 2015, and he played five seasons in Tennessee before losing his job to Ryan Tannehill last season. He went 29-32 as a starter, passing for 13,207 yards with 76 touchdowns and 44 interceptions with the Titans. The Raiders also are getting calls about Carr, according to Rapoport, but Mariota seems … [Read more...] about Reports: Raiders receiving trade interest in Marcus Mariota
