IPL 2021: Reaching play-offs means a lot, CSK wanted to come back strong after 2020 – MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni said Chennai Super Kings qualifying for IPL 2021 play-offs means a lot for them as they had promised to come back strong and delivered on the promise with a dominant show that they are known for in the ongoing season. CSK put behind the horrors of IPL 2020 wherein they were the first team to be eliminated from the play-offs race.

Cut to 2021, CSK became the first team to qualify for the play-offs in the ongoing season with 9 victories in their first 11 matches. CSK sealed the berth in the play-offs in style as MS Dhoni hit the winning runs in their 135-run chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Sharjah in March 44 of IPL 2021 on Thursday.IPL 2021: SRH vs CSK in Sharjah HighlightsRiding on another fine opening stand between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis, CSK were on course to ease to the target but a middle-order wobble saw them take the chase to the final over. However, senior batters MS Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu held their nerves and delivered another convincing victory for the 3-time champions.Contrary to expectations, CSK did not make wholesale changes to the squad for IPL 2021 after a disappointing campaign in the UAE in 2020 wherein they lost out on a play-offs spot for the first time in history. CSK made some valuable additions in the likes of Moeen Ali and Josh Hazelwood and found their consistency back in the new season.IPL 2021: Points tableAfter winning 5 matches out of 7 in the first leg in India, CSK have stitched a 4-match unbeaten run in the UAE this year.”It means a lot, because the last time, we said we wanted to come back strong. We are known for that and there was a lot at stake. You won’t always win games and a lot didn’t go our way last time, and it’s important not to make excuses and we have done that this year.”The boys did well to keep the momentum going, and they’ve taken responsibilities to keep all departments of the game in balance so the players and the support staff get the credit,” MS Dhoni said on Thursday.Glad we rapid the fans’ faith: DhoniMS Dhoni made a special mention about their loyal fans, saying it felt good to repay the faith they had in the team after a disappointing campaign in IPL 2020.”Not much needs to be said of the fans, who have supported us through thick and thin and I’m glad we have repaid their faith,” he added.Dhoni lauded his bowling unit which delivered once again in Sharjah. It was their second win of the tournament at the iconic venue where they had gone winless in 2020.Josh Hazlewood picked up 3 wickets for 24 runs while Dwayne Bravo continued his fine run with the ball, picking up 2 wickets for 17 runs as the two seasoned bowlers broke the back of Sunrisers’ batting unit on Thursday.”The bowlers tried to swing it up front and got hit straight when they pitched it up too much, but then adjusted very well. I told the bowlers that they needed to exploit the conditions in today’s game. If the oddball stopped early on, it started coming onto the bat later,” he added.CSK, who will now look to finish inside the top two spots, will face Rajasthan Royals on Saturday.

RCB vs MI IPL 2021 Match 39: Dream11 Playing XI Predictions, Toss Time, Top Picks, Head-To-Head Records

Virat Kohli, India’s outgoing T20I captain and Rohit Sharma, the one who will replace him, have endured crushing defeats with their respective teams in the ongoing Indian Premier League.

The fact that the bulk of India’s top-order batters, who are currently under-performing, are from these two sides, sticks out like sore thumb. Going into the World T20, Kohli, Rohit, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan are some of the batting mainstays. Also, there is Hardik Pandya, who is not being picked by the Mumbai Indians as he is perhaps not 100 percent fit to carry out his all-round duties, which include four overs of brisk fast-medium bowling.Team FormRoyal Challengers Bangalore: The Virat Kohli-led team suffered an embarrassing nine-wicket defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders after the resumption of the second leg of the IPL. In the next match against Chennai Super Kings they stuttered to a seven-wicket loss. Virat Kohli showed some form en route to his half-century against CSK at Sharjah, but his overall form has been scratchy. RCB are still in the top four with 10 points from nine games.Mumbai Indians: The Mumbai Indians middle-order has failed to click. They suffered a 20-run defeat against Chennai Super Kings, followed by a hammering from Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets. Rohit Sharma is not looking in his element. The more worrying factor will be Surya’s lack of form. He is suddenly looking a lot rustier than usual. It was no different for Ishan also, as the trio needed to fire to be in good head space before the T20 World Cup on the same tracks that are expected to get slower. MI after their back-to-back defeats, have slumped to sixth spot with eight points from nine games.Match DetailsMatch 39: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Mumbai IndiansVenue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, DubaiTime: 7:30 PM IST, 02:00 PM GMTWhere to watch live: Star Sports Network, HotstarPitch ReportLike any other track in the desert nation, the Dubai pitch will provide an ample amount of help for the spin bowlers.

He scored a brilliant 70 against KKR and has scored 287 runs in this tournament so far.Jasprit Bumrah: He is arguably the best Indian bowler in all the three formats for India. After having a scintillating Test series against England, Bumrah looked rusty. But you can’t ignore the fact that he is the best in the business.

Defending a below-par score of 154, Delhi bowlers put up a disciplined effort to restrict Rajasthan to 121 for 6 to return to the top of the points table.Skipper Sanju Samson waged a lone battle for Rajasthan Royals with a prolific half-century but lacked the support from the other end as RR suffered their fifth defeat of the season. Samson hit one-six and eighth boundaries in his unbeaten 70-run knock.RR were off to a very poor start as they suffered two early blows in the 155-run chase, losing both openers Liam Livingstone and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first two overs. Avesh Khan got rid of Livingstone in the first over and then Jaiswal soon followed his opening partner back to the dugout edging the ball off Anrich Nortje to Rishabh Pant.IPL News, DC vs RR: HighlightsR Ashwin joined the party as the DC spinner outfoxed RR batter David Miller for 7 to grab his first wicket in 6 games and 250th in T20 cricket. Royals continued to lose wickets at regular intervals in the 155-run chase against Delhi Capitals as Kagiso Rabada and Axar Patel removed Mahipal Lomror (19) and Riyan Parag (2) in quick succession to dent RR.Earlier, Rajasthan Royals managed to restrict the Capitals to a par score of 154 for 6 in 20 overs thanks to outstanding bowling performances from Mustafizur Rahman (2 for 22), Chetan Sakariya (2 for 33) and Rahul Tewatia (1 for 17).Tyagi, the star of the match against Punjab Kings, drew first blood with his very first delivery in the fourth over, cleaning up Orange Cap holder Shikhar Dhawan (8). Prithvi Shaw was the next DC batsman to depart as Chetan Sakariya struck early.With spin introduced in the seventh over Shreyas Iyer (43 off 32 balls) and skipper Rishabh Pant (24 off 24 balls) started to repair the damage caused by the loss of the openers.

HP Envy 14 review in five points: Packed with power and features, but a bit high on price

With its vast portfolio, HP attempts to cater to all types of PC users. Among this collection, it recently introduced a new offering for professional creators in India by the name of HP Envy 14. The company differentiates the new laptop with more computing power than the average laptop and all the new-age features that one would need in a laptop for maximum efficiency. We have already reviewed the HP Envy 14 laptop, and you can read it here.

As an example, know that the Envy 14 comes with a backlit keyboard, fingerprint scanner and multiple connectivity options. Additional highlights include Bang and Olufsen speakers as well as a screen-to-body ratio higher than your average laptop. In short, the Envy 14 easily stands apart from the regular laptops used in corporate offices.That being said, the Envy 14 retails for a starting price of Rs 1,04,999 as part of HP’s “premium computing” category. This means that the laptop is priced just below HP’s top-of-the-line Spectre series. So how does it justify its existence between the top-notch offerings and regular, run-of-the-mill laptops? We tell you in five points.Point 1: HP Envy 14 sports the signature “Natural Silver” colour seen on many HP laptops. There are no highlights within this finish, as the colour envelopes the entire device and sans the display’s bezel area. Some might mistake this finish to be uninspiring, but the fact of the matter is that the Envy 14 looks sharper than any other laptop we have seen sporting this colour. To start with, it carries a regular-sized form factor that looks bigger than the usual laptops, thanks to the large screen-to-body ratio. The heightened display, along with straight cut-edges and solid colour throughout, give it a very bold and elegant look. So does the new HP logo at the back. There is no separate numeric keypad, so the keyboard appears large and spacious, as is the trackpad beneath it. The HP Envy 14 weighs around 1.6 kg. Point 2: HP Envy 14 features a 14-inch WUXGA IPS display, which means it offers 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution. That and the slim bezel all around enable an excellent viewing experience on the Envy 14. The colours are sharp with an overall good contrast and brightness. HP has also used anti-glare on display, a big plus that many laptops miss out on. The highlight remains the 16:10 aspect ratio which gives you an 11 per cent greater viewing area than a traditional 16:9 laptop. This will help you see more on a webpage or while working on creative or professional documents.Point 3: HP Envy 14 is simply a treat to work on. In a couple of weeks of our use, we found the Envy 14 to be equipped with everything one might seek on an efficient work laptop. It has a spacious and backlit keyboard with optimum key travel. The keyboard also comes with functions to operate the various aspects of the laptop, including a fingerprint sensor in place of the right Control for quick login. The trackpad is large with a distinct, soft click and support for multi-touch gestures. There is a 720p webcam with a camera shutter, Bang & Olufsen speaker system and a host of connectivity options, including Thunderbolt 4 with USB Type-C, USB Type-A, HDMI 2.0 and more. There is also a 63.3Wh Li-ion battery to get you through around eight hours of use on average. Point 4: In our use, the Envy 14 could perform extremely well irrespective of the task at hand. Other than a few glitches, the laptop ran graphic software, games, and work applications smoothly. It was quick to fire up every time, and the response on any action you perform on the laptop is almost lightning fast. For this, the Envy 14 comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti (Max-Q) graphics card and 16 GB RAM onboard. HP says it has especially been crafted for creators, meaning an edge in graphics rendering and software.Point 5: The only possible drawback in an otherwise great laptop is its price. At Rs 1,04,999, the Envy 14 competes with laptops offering Intel Core i7 processors, which are meant to be better for media-editing and other daunting tasks. It also comes surprisingly close to the HP Spectre x360 that boasts of a convertible form factor with the same processor. The difference is just about what iPhone users pay for a mere storage upgrade and hence can be a deterrent from buying the Envy 14.

Delhi overhauled the target of 135 in 17.5 overs after riding on useful contributions from Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant to reclaim the top spot on the points table by going over the Chennai Super Kings with their 7th win of IPL 2021.Former captain Iyer, who was playing his first match for DC since the IPL 2020 final against Mumbai Indians, top-scored with a composed knock of 47 not out while Dhawan made 42 off 37 balls. Skipper Pant remained unbeaten on 35 off 21 balls.DC vs SRH, IPL 2021: As it happened in DubaiDhawan also went past 400 runs for the season to clinch the sole lead in the race for the Orange Cap, opening up a 42-run gap with Punjab Kings captain KL Rahul. This is the also the sixth IPL season in succession that the 37-year-old has amassed 400-plus runs. Suresh Raina and David Warner hold the record for achieving the feat 7 seasons in a row.Earlier, Delhi Capitals rode on the fiery spells from Anrich Nortje and his South African teammate Kagiso Rabada to restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to 134 for 9 in 20 overs after being asked to bowl first on a grassy pitch at the Dubai International Stadium.Rabada bagged 3 for 37 from 4 overs while Nortje and left-arm spinner Axar Patel bagged a couple of wickets each to cap off a wonderful bowling performance.Delhi Capitals will next face the Rajasthan Royals at the Zyed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi in the first game of the double-header on September 25 while last-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are all but out of contention for the playoffs race, will take on 7th-placed Punjab Kings in Sharjah in the second match on Saturday.Click here for our site’s complete coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
