A significant record was set by Rajasthan Royals spinner Yuzvendra Chahal last night (April 5). He moved up to second place in the IPL‘s wicket-taking standings by getting one wicket in the game against Punjab Kings.
As a result, he left Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga behind.
In 122 matches over the course of his IPL career, Lasith Malinga took 170 wickets. In addition, Chahal has now claimed 171 IPL wickets, bringing his total to 408. Chahal played in 133 IPL games to get here. As a wicketkeeper-batsman for Punjab Kings, Jitesh Sharma became his 171st victim.
Yuzvendra Chahal debuted in the 2013 IPL season. Chahal has participated in 133 games so far during these 11 seasons. He has collected 171 wickets throughout this time at a 21.58 bowling average and a 7.62 economy rate. He won the Purple Cap award the previous year. The most wickets were taken by him.
Three additional changes have been made to the Punjab Kings squad for the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Before the start of the 2023 season, the Punjab squad, known for its yearly changes, moved the coach to the captain and discharged a number of players.
Punjab has also changed the coaching staff since Mayank Agarwal was fired last season. In addition to rehiring former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer as their batting coach, the club has also retained veteran South African fast bowler Charl Langeveldt as its bowling coach. As for the third alteration, Brad Haddin, a former Australian wicketkeeper, has been named the team’s assistant coach.
Jaffer was the batting coach for two years
It is important to note that Wasim Jaffer, a former Indian opener, served as Punjab’s batting coach from 2019 to 2021 before resigning prior to the super auction in 2022 to take the coaching job with the Odisha Ranji side in domestic cricket. Damian Wright succeeded Langeveldt as the team’s bowling coach in 2021 after Langeveldt held the position in 2020.
Punjab also changed captain and coach
Other significant changes in the Punjab team include the decision to oust Australian Trevor Bayliss as head coach in September after the club elected not to extend Anil Kumble’s contract. Mayank Agarwal was released from the team at the same time as his removal from the captaincy. Shikhar Dhawan, a veteran player, was later named the new captain in his place.
Mayank and Smith released
The team made the decision to release nine players, including Mayank Agarwal and Odion Smith, and enhance their compensation before the mini-auction scheduled to take place in Kochi in December. While the team has 16 players, Punjab currently has Rs 32.2 crore.
Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina stunned the sport when he announced his retirement from all forms of the game. Mr. IPL Raina, as he is more well known, tweeted his decision today, or Tuesday. In his tweet, he noted that representing his country and state is a huge honor. I would like to declare my retirement from cricket in all its forms. I want to express my gratitude to Rajeev Shukla, the BCCI, the UP Cricket Association, Chennai Super Kings, and all of my supporters.
It has been an absolute honour to represent my country & state UP. I would like to announce my retirement from all formats of Cricket. I would like to thank @BCCI, @UPCACricket, @ChennaiIPL, @ShuklaRajiv sir & all my fans for their support and unwavering faith in my abilities 🇮🇳
The announcement of Raina and Dhoni‘s retirements from international cricket on August 15, 2020, is significant. However, he was participating in domestic cricket, particularly the IPL, with Chennai Super Kings. However, CSK did not buy for him in the auction last season and released him prior to the mega auction. This marked Raina’s first unpurchased season in the IPL.
Can play in foreign leagues
On September 5, Raina also uploaded a video of himself playing cricket. But a day later, he shocked the supporters with his choice. As a result of Raina’s decision, he won’t be seen competing in the IPL or any other domestic league. Raina reportedly made this decision in order to play in overseas competitions.
Additionally, there is talk that this all-arounder would be able to compete in South Africa’s T20 competition starting in 2023. The Chennai Super Kings’ owners have acquired the Johannesburg team in this league as well. The six clubs in this competition, which will be run similarly to the IPL, have all been acquired by IPL franchise owners.
Suresh Raina’s international and IPL career
Regarding Raina’s IPL career, he spent a significant amount of time with Chennai Super Kings. In the league, he took part in 205 games and ran for 5528 runs. His bat also scored a century and 39 half-centuries during this time.

Additionally, he contributed 48 half-centuries and seven centuries. In addition, Raina took a total of 62 wickets while bowling and 167 catch while fielding.
It may not have been the ideal start for Royal Challengers Bangalore, but the team’s performance was quite good. As batsmen, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli showed their heart and courage. Virat Kohli broke Australia’s explosive opener David Warner’s record with his 41-run knock.
In Sunday’s second match of the doubleheader, Bangalore’s team was defeated by Punjab. Batting first, the team scored a whopping 200 runs due to du Plessis’s blistering half-century and Kohli’s excellent innings. Kohli scored 41 runs off 29 balls while the captain scored 88 runs off 57 balls. With the bat, the former captain hit one four and two sixes but scored runs at a strike rate of 141.
Warner’s record is broken by Kohli

West Indies legend Chris Gayle is the leading run-scorer in T20 cricket. Scored 14562 runs in 463 matches with 22 centuries. Second place goes to Pakistan legend Shoaib Malik, who has 11698 names. In three place is Kieron Pollard of West Indies with 11430 runs.
MS Dhoni (Mahendra Singh Dhoni) has stepped down from the CSK captaincy two days before the start of IPL. For the first time, CSK changed captains. Fans of Dhoni are shocked. The question now arises whether Dhoni will be able to participate in the IPL again next year after leaving the captaincy. Among the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League is Chennai Super Kings. Chennai has won the league title four times and Dhoni has led the team during all these seasons.
