Ross Taylor has been making headlines ever since his autobiography, Ross Taylor: Black & White came out. It has sparked another controversy as the former New Zealand cricketer claimed that a Rajasthan Royals owner slapped him.
Taylor revealed that after he got out for a duck in a game against Punjab in Mohali and Rajasthan lost the encounter, one of the Royals owners told him that they didn't pay him a million dollars to get a duck and slapped him across the face three or four times.
'He was laughing and they weren't hard slaps but I'm not sure that it was entirely play-acting. Under the circumstances I wasn't going to make an issue of it, but I couldn't imagine it happening in many professional sporting environments,' Taylor added.
After first 3 season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Taylor was bought up by the Rajasthan Royals for USD 1 million.

The Chennai Super Kings were hoping to use MS Dhoni as the mentor for their new franchise in the upcoming T20 league in South Africa but BCCI has reportedly not given them a go ahead.
According to a report in the Indian Express, the Indian board denied CSK the opportunity as they reiterated their stand over Indian cricketers being involved in overseas franchise leagues. The BCCI has strongly stated in the past that any India player hoping to make an appearance in overseas franchise league will have to cut off all ties with BCCI before promising their commitment to those leagues.
Though Dhoni has retired from international cricket but a BCCI official told the Indian Express that MSD will have to quit playing the IPL before heading to South Africa.
Incidentally, all 6 franchises of the CSA T20 League were bought by the IPL team owners.

4-day Test matches coming soon?

With the increasing popularity of the T20 leagues around the globe, Test cricket has seen a drastic dip in eyeballs. In their quest to expand the bilateral calendar,&nbsp;ICC's cricket committee may formally consider trimming Tests from 5 days to 4 for the 2023-2031 cycle. Interestingly,&nbsp;If four-day Tests were held during the 2015-2023 cycle, it would have freed up 335 days of scheduled cricket. It isn't a new concept though with the last one played between England and Ireland earlier this year. South Africa and Zimbabwe too played a 4-day Test in 2017.

Ireland all-rounder Kevin O'Brien announced his retirement from international cricket. He is best known for his whirlwind century against England in the 2011 ICC World Cup, which helped the Irish pull off one of the biggest upsets in 50-over cricket.
The Irish all-rounder announced his retirement in a lengthy post on Twitter. He stated in his post that he had hoped to retire after playing the upcoming T20 World Cup, but lack of opportunities has led him to decide to his retirement.
O'Brien made his Ireland debut in 2006 and was a key figure in his team's rise from Associate Membership to Test match status over a nearly two-decade career.

Kevin called it a day with a number of batting records and as Ireland's leading ODI wicket-taker, with 114 scalps at an average of 32.68 and an economy rate of 5.20. His magnificent hundred against England in the 2011 World Cup is still the fastest century scored by a batter in a quadrennial event.

One of the most renowned cricketers from Ireland Kevin O'Brien decided to bring down the curtains on his international career on Tuesday.
He will always be best known for his fiery century against England in the 2011 ICC World Cup, which helped the Irish pull off one of the biggest upsets in 50-over cricket.
He smashed his ton off just 50 deliveries which still remains as the fastest hundred in an ODI World Cup.

Amitabh Choudhary Passes Away&nbsp; : In a shocking news, former BCCI joint secretary Amitabh Choudhary passed away on Tuesday morning following a massive cardiac arrest. He was 58.
Doctors and his close associates said that Choudhary suddenly collapsed at his residence in Ashok Nagar in Ranchi. He was rushed to the hospital but could not be saved.
Ex-Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) chairman, Amitabh Choudhary was instrumental in making Ranchi the headquarters of Jharkhand cricket, shifting the base from Jamshedpur. A world-class stadium was built there under his watch, with one end of the stadium also named after him.
He also worked under BCCI's Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) and had to deal with the Virat Kohli-Anil Kumble saga, which saw the then head coach resign due to dressing room conflicts.

The murmurs of a rift between Ravindra Jadeja and Chennai Super Kings got louder last month when the all-rounder removed all posts related to CSK from his official Instagram account.
According to a report in the Times of India, nothing is well between the two till now as Jadeja and CSK have not been in touch since IPL 2022. The report adds that unless something miraculous happens in the next couple of months, their 10-year-long partnership might end soon.
Talks of tension between Jadeja and the IPL franchise started doing the rounds during the 2022 edition when the all-rounder relinquished his captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game. Interestingly, he was made the skipper just before the season began but the Super Kings had a poor run under him.
MS Dhoni was once again handed over the captaincy duties midway and he accepted that captaincy burdened Jadeja's preparations and performances.
However, the speculations will start to intensify if a formal proposal of trading comes from any other franchise in November when the trading window opens up. The report in TOI further states that a couple of top franchises, who will need an Indian captain sooner rather than later, have been in touch with Jadeja. But there has been no official communication on those lines.

The murmurs of a rift between Ravindra Jadeja and Chennai Super Kings got louder last month when the all-rounder removed all posts related to CSK from his official Instagram account

The murmurs of a rift between Ravindra Jadeja and Chennai Super Kings got louder last month when the all-rounder removed all posts related to CSK from his official Instagram account.
According to a report in the Times of India, nothing is well between the two till now as Jadeja and CSK have not been in touch since IPL 2022. The report adds that unless something miraculous happens in the next couple of months, their 10-year-long partnership might end soon.
Talks of tension between Jadeja and the IPL franchise started doing the rounds during the 2022 edition when the all-rounder relinquished his captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game. Interestingly, he was made the skipper just before the season began but the Super Kings had a poor run under him.
MS Dhoni was once again handed over the captaincy duties midway and he accepted that captaincy burdened Jadeja's preparations and performances.
However, the speculations will start to intensify if a formal proposal of trading comes from any other franchise in November when the trading window opens up. The report in TOI further states that a couple of top franchises, who will need an Indian captain sooner rather than later, have been in touch with Jadeja. But there has been no official communication on those lines.&nbsp;

Ever since MS Dhoni retired from international cricket, Rishabh Pant had to constantly prove his worth in the Indian team. And the wicketkeeper-batter continues to do so as Dinesh Karthik emerged as a perfect candidate for the finisher's job.
When asked about the potential threat he faced from DK over his spot in the India line-up for the Asia Cup, Pant was quoted as saying by Zee Hindustan that he and DK don't think on those lines. 'We as individuals always want to give our 100 per cent to the team. The rest depends on the coach and the captain and how the team could get an advantage from that,' added the southpaw.
Though Pant and Karthik have been part of India's T20 team since June, both have different roles. While Pant dons the wicketkeeping gloves, Karthik plays as a finisher.
