Harbhajan's Epic Solution For DC Batter's Struggle; Play This Retired Star

Former India star Harbhajan Singh has presumably taken a dig at the batting of Indian Premier League side Delhi Capitals post its poor show against SunRisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Monday. In the game, DC lost the first five wickets at the score of 62 before Axar Patel and Manish Pandey saved their blushes by helping them post a fighting total of 144 for 9 on the board. Both the batters scored 34 runs each as they added 69 runs for the sixth wicket.

While analysing the side's performance after the game, Harbhajan criticised the batting unit of Delhi. He added that the side should also rope in retired cricketer and their assistant coach, Shane Watson, in the team.

"I'm saying that DC should also play Shane Watson, he is a solid player. He has recently retired, and the way with which DC's opening is going these days, he will be of use, and a better choice as well," Harbhajan said in Hindi on his YouTube channel.

Talking about the match, Washington Sundar's all-round effort went in vain as SRH made heavy weather of a below-par chase to go down to DC by seven runs, their third defeat in a row in the IPL, on Monday.

The offspin allrounder Sundar (4-0-28-3) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4-0-11-2) exposed the batting frailties of DC in the first half of the game to restrict them to 144/9 after David Warner opted to bat. But an inexplicable batting approach in which SRH never looked to dominate led to their downfall as they were restricted to 137/6.

Gardner Shines Again As GG Register Six-Wicket Win Over UPW In WPL 2025

Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday. Gardner (2/39) claimed two wickets and then scored a stylish 32-ball 52, her second consecutive fifty, as Gujarat registered their first win of the third edition of the tournament, following a loss in the opening game to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine. Chasing 144 to win, the Giants were reduced to 22 for 2 with opener Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalata back in the pavilion after UPW introduced spin at both ends. However, Gardner produced an inspired knock, adding 55 runs off 42 balls with Laura Wolvaardt (22) to resurrect the innings. Gardner struck t...

'Not Taught About Sambhaji': Ex-Cricketer's 'Aurangzeb' Remarks Start Debate

The Vicky Kaushal-starrer movie 'Chhaava', based on the life and times of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - the second ruler of the Maratha Confederacy and son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has received positive response from audience across the country. Apart from Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Rashmika Mandanna (as Yesubai Bhonsale), Akshaye Khanna (as Aurangzeb), Ashutosh Rana (as Hambirrao Mohite), Diana Penty (as Zinat-un-Nissa Begum) and Divya Dutta (as Soyarabai) play prominent roles in the movie.   Former India cricket team star Aakash Chopra also liked the movie. He, however, raised some questions after watching the film.  "Watched Chhaava today. Incredible tale of bravery, selflessness and the sense of duty.  Genuine question—why were we not taught about Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaj at all in school? Not even a mention anywhere!!!  We did learn though how Akbar was a great and fair emperor, and even have a very prominent road called Auran...
