Description: Hyderabad's ace batsman David Warner has said that the ban that was imposed on him for ball-tampering in South Africa gave him time to work harder on his game. Warner, who along with Steve Smith has served his ban, had returned to Hyderabad's camp in the IPL. The 32-year-old signed off his season with 692 runs, the highest so far in the tournament, before heading home for World Cup preparations.

Hyderabad's ace batsman David Warner has said that the ban that was imposed on him for ball-tampering in South Africa gave him time to work harder on his game. Warner, who along with Steve Smith has served his ban, had returned to Hyderabad's camp in the IPL. The 32-year-old signed off his season with 692 runs, the highest so far in the tournament, before heading home for World Cup preparations.

English Premier League side Manchester United earned 3 points on the night against Brighton in a dramatic manner after they were awarded an injury-time penalty. After being stuck at 1-1 after the 1st half, United took the lead through Marcus Rashford. But an injury-time equaliser&nbsp;from Brighton made it look like United would be forced to share points. But a late dramatic foul by Brighton gifted the red-devils a penalty which was calmly&nbsp;converted by spot-kick specialist Bruno Fernandes&nbsp;as Ole Gunnar&nbsp;Solskjaer's&nbsp;men grabbed a dramatic 3-2 win and their first points&nbsp;of the new Premier League campaign.&nbsp;

A new look Chelsea led by manager Frank Lampard&nbsp;had a horrid start to their Premier League game against West&nbsp;Brom&nbsp;after they found themselves trailing by 3 goals in the opening half-hour of play. The writing was on the wall but against the run of play, the blues fought back on the road and rescued a dramatic draw and a point.&nbsp;Mason Mount,&nbsp;Callum Hudson-Odoi&nbsp;and Tammy Abraham scored a goal each in the 2nd half as Chelsea recovered just in time before the final whistle. This was the first draw for Chelsea this season after 3 games.&nbsp;

The top spot on the&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;points table is up for grabs as 2nd placed Kings XI Punjab play 4th placed Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals in Sharjah. While the Royals stunned Chennai&nbsp;Super Kings in their opening game of the tournament, Kings XI Punjab has recovered with a win after losing their 1st match. Royals will once again depend heavily on Sanju&nbsp;Samson who smashed a 32 ball 74 vs CSK. Royals will bring in their star opener Jos&nbsp;Buttler in the game who could prove to be their ace in the game. Kings XI, on the other hand, will be hoping for KL Rahul&nbsp;to fire again after smashing 138* vs Bangalore. Punjab could also play Chris Gayle owing to the small ground in Sharjah&nbsp;which will be a high scoring paradise.&nbsp;

The trend of teams batting first and winning in IPL&nbsp;2020 finally stopped after Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders overcame Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad by 7 wickets in Abu&nbsp;Dhabi. After deciding to bat first Sunrisers&nbsp;only managed 142/4 from their 20 overs. Manish&nbsp;Pandey scored 51 but the rest of the batsmen failed to increase the scoring rate as the KKR bowlers kept a tight line. In reply, riding on Shubhman&nbsp;Gill's 62 ball unbeaten 70 with 5 fours and 2 sixes guided the Knight Riders to their maiden win in IPL&nbsp;2020. Courtesy the win, the Dinesh&nbsp;Karthik&nbsp;led side jumped to 5th on the points table whereas the Sunrisers&nbsp;remain last with 2 loses in 2 games.&nbsp;

IPL 2020: Chennai win toss, elect to bowl first vs Rajasthan

CricBait IPL Diaries: Battle of the bottom dwellers in IPL tonight as Sunrisers Hyderabad play the Kolkata Knight Riders &amp; is MS Dhoni feeling the heat after 2 straight losses in the UAE? Yash&nbsp;Chawla and Lav&nbsp;Vaid&nbsp;discuss&nbsp;

While many local English media reports suggest that Ben Stokes will join his IPL&nbsp;team Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals by the first week of October for&nbsp;the ongoing&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;edition, former England cricketer Monty Panesar&nbsp;feels otherwise. Raising doubts about his participation this season, Panesar&nbsp;said that the English all-rounder might miss the complete IPL&nbsp;season. Stokes' father has been diagnosed with brain cancer and he is currently in New Zealand,&nbsp;supporting his family. Panesar&nbsp;who feels that Stokes is the&nbsp;'superman of cricket' also said that his presence in the IPL&nbsp;will be massive.&nbsp;

After facing a second consecutive defeat, Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni&nbsp;analysed the game plan and admitted that Ambati&nbsp;Rayudu's&nbsp;absence severely affected the team's play. While chasing not such a big target of 176, Dhoni's men were handed a 44-run thrashing by the Delhi Capitals. Pondering over the teams' shortcomings,&nbsp;Dhoni&nbsp;said that CSK&nbsp;was lacking a bit of steam in the batting department. While the team is struggling to find its best combination, Dhoni&nbsp;said that the team balance will get better once Rayudu&nbsp;comes back in the next game. Rayudu&nbsp;who played brilliantly in CSK's&nbsp;first match against Mumbai Indians has been absent since then&nbsp;due to a hamstring injury. The veteran wicketkeeper was also not very happy with his bowlers and went on to say that they are bowling good deliveries, but are giving away the boundary deliveries&nbsp;bit too often.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bidding an emotional farewell to former fellow teammate&nbsp;Luis Saurez, the star footballer&nbsp;Lionel Messi&nbsp;yet again lashed out at Barcelona. The 33-year-old who posted a picture of himself along with Saurez&nbsp;on Instagram, criticised&nbsp;the Spanish club for his transfer to Atletico&nbsp;Madrid. It is going to be so strange seeing you in another shirt, and even stranger to have to play against you,&nbsp;Messi&nbsp;wrote. Calling him one of the most important players in the history of the club, Messi&nbsp;further said, You deserve to be sent off as what you are and not the one that they gave you, but it is true that at this point nothing surprises me. The Uruguayan footballer who is the third leading scorer for Barcelona with 198 goals also expressed his gratitude towards&nbsp;Messi for the&nbsp;heartfelt&nbsp;message.&nbsp;

Calling Dean Jones a player ahead of time, Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar&nbsp;feels that he would have been the most popular players,&nbsp;if he were to be part of the T20 generation. Tendulkar&nbsp;who&nbsp;has&nbsp;no doubts about Dean Jones' success in the T20 format said that had there been an auction, Deano&nbsp;would have been a player much in demand. The former cricketer feels&nbsp;that&nbsp;Deano&nbsp;had everything that one requires for the T20s an went on to explain how he was an innovative stroke&nbsp;player, a runner between the wickets, and a brilliant fielder. Tendulkar&nbsp;who fondly remembers the Australian player, said that his death is a massive tragedy and it is a bitter pill to swallow.&nbsp;The 59-year-old former Australian batsman died of cardiac arrest on Thursday in Mumbai.

While giving a positive update about Ravichandran&nbsp;Ashwin's&nbsp;health, Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas&nbsp;Iyer&nbsp;has said that the ace spinner will be missing few more games of the tournament. Ashwin&nbsp;suffered a shoulder injury during the team's first match against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday. Iyer&nbsp;said that Ashwin&nbsp;was doing well, but he wanted to give Ashwin&nbsp;a 2-3 game rest so that he feels better. Although the team was hoping for Ashwin's&nbsp;comeback against Chennai Super Kings, the ace spinner might now return for his team's match against Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad on October 3rd.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders &amp; Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad, the two teams who are yet to taste success in IPL&nbsp;2020 go up against each other in Abu&nbsp;Dhabi&nbsp;on Saturday night. While the Knight Riders blanked in front of the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians in their opening game, Hyderabad too felt the opening game blues after losing to Virat&nbsp;Kohli's&nbsp;Royal Challengers Bangalore. Knight&nbsp;Riders will be hoping for their middle order to fire which fell apart after some precision bowling by Mumbai. Their pace bowling department also looked like they were missing something as the Dinesh&nbsp;Karthik&nbsp;led side would look to iron out their flaws. Hyderabad on the other hand had a promising start in the opening game vs RCB&nbsp;but failed to deliver after their middle and lower order perished without a fight. Despite the fact that the match is between the bottom two sides in the competition, there will be plenty of fireworks on display.&nbsp;

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has clarified what he actually meant by the comments he made on Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma during the IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore's against Kings XI Punjab.
In an interview with India Today,&nbsp;Gavaskar said that people completely misunderstood and misquoted him which led to the controversy. He added that whenever Kohli scores a century nobody gives credit to Anushka for it and that he is one of the first to raise this issue whenever it crops up.
He went on to say that he was always in favour of wives and girlfriends (WAGs) to be allowed on tours with the players, because cricket is a profession for them just like everybody else.
He then went on to explain that his words were being twisted and what he meant was that players couldn't practice properly during the lockdown and gave the example of the video of Kohli playing cricket with Anushka Sharma inside their housing society in Mumbai.

Anushka&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;has a strong-worded response&nbsp;to Sunil&nbsp;Gavaskar's 'distasteful message'. The actress dragged in a controversy by Sunil&nbsp;Gavaskar&nbsp;while he was taking a dig at&nbsp;RCB&nbsp;skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;for his poor performance against Kings XI Punjab on Thursday evening.&nbsp; In her Instagram&nbsp;story, Anushka asked the legendary&nbsp;cricketer&nbsp;to explain as to why did he think of making such a sweeping statement on a wife accusing her of her husband's game. Blasting Gavaskar&nbsp;over his choice of words, She&nbsp;further asked that if his words were only relevant when Gavaskar&nbsp;would use her name.&nbsp;Gavaskar&nbsp;who is being slammed the sexist comment said that Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;has only trained against Anushka's&nbsp;bowling during&nbsp;the&nbsp;lockdown. The furious fans have urged BCCI&nbsp;to drop Gavaskar&nbsp;from the IPL&nbsp;commentary&nbsp;duties.

&nbsp;
Chennai Super Kings&nbsp;play the mighty Delhi Capitals tonight, who do you think will win? Switch to video mode to watch the show.&nbsp;

After losing their previous game, Chennai Super&nbsp;Kings will look to get back to winning ways when they take on the Delhi Capitals&nbsp;in Sharjah on Friday.&nbsp;All eyes will be on MS Dhoni&nbsp;to see whether&nbsp;he reassess&nbsp;his strategy and irons out the flaws highlighted in the previous encounter.&nbsp;While CSK&nbsp;have won 1 and lost 1 game, Delhi bailed out of jail in a thrilling Super Over win vs the Kings XI Punjab. But their batsmen too have a lot of work to do in terms of shot selection.&nbsp;Dhoni's&nbsp;men go into the clash with an upper hand as they have won 15 of the 21 encounters vs Delhi since 2008.

After an embarrassing&nbsp;97-run defeat against KXIP, RCB&nbsp;skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;willfully stepped up to admit his fault. Kohli&nbsp;dropped his counterpart KL Rahul&nbsp;twice on 83 and 90 which eventually costed&nbsp;them the game. Taking up the responsibility of the thrashing, the 31-year-old accepted that had they been able to restrict&nbsp;KXIP&nbsp;to 180, the team wouldn't have been under pressure from ball one of the chase. RCB&nbsp;had a good game and a bad game too, and now it is time to move on and learn from the mistakes we made, he added. RCB&nbsp;is set to face defending champions Mumbai&nbsp;Indians on September&nbsp;28.&nbsp;

Royal Challengers Bangalore's Thursday's match against Kings XI Punjab proved to be a rough ride for the team. After the team's crushing defeat, RCB&nbsp;skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;has now been fined ₹12 lakh&nbsp;for maintaining a slow over-rate during their IPL&nbsp;match. It was RCB's&nbsp;first offence of the season under the IPL's&nbsp;code of conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences. RCB&nbsp;who had a bad evening at Dubai International Cricket Stadium were thrashed by 97 runs on Thursday evening.&nbsp;

Former Indian cricketer Virendra&nbsp;Sehwag&nbsp;revealed that Mumbai&nbsp;Indians' skipper Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;was his second favourite IPL&nbsp;skipper after MS Dhoni. His comments came after the defending champions&nbsp;clinched their first season victory against Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders on Wednesday. Praising the 33-year-old further,&nbsp;Sehwag&nbsp;said that the way Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;understands the game and makes tactical changes is simply outstanding.&nbsp;Sehwag&nbsp;also lauded&nbsp;Rohit's&nbsp;strategic decision of&nbsp;introducing&nbsp;Kieron&nbsp;Pollard into the game against Dinesh&nbsp;Karthik and Nitish&nbsp;Rana&nbsp;when they had just started to build their partnership for KKR. Ajay Jadeja who&nbsp;also resonated with Sehwag's&nbsp;view on MI skipper said that Rohit&nbsp;is very similar to Dhoni as he believes in dictating the play with his captaincy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Shunning the debate around MS Dhoni's&nbsp;position in the batting line-up,&nbsp;CSK&nbsp;head coach Stephen&nbsp;Flemming&nbsp;gave a befitting reply to all his critics. Explaining CSK&nbsp;skipper's plight,&nbsp;Flemming&nbsp;said that Dhoni&nbsp;has not played much cricket in a year and a half and that everyone expects Dhoni&nbsp;to come out and start hitting big shots, but it doesn't happen like that. Extending his support, he went on to say that as the tournament goes on he will just get better and better. So it's like valuing what each player can do and also respecting Dhoni, who is one of a kind when he is in form and has been playing, he added.&nbsp;MS Dhoni&nbsp;has been facing harsh criticism after he came in to bat at No. 7 for the two consecutive matches that CSK&nbsp;has played till now.&nbsp;
