Once the Premier League approval is granted, the club will be sold for a whopping 2.5 billion pounds ($3.1 billion) which is the highest price ever for a sports team. Abramovic, a Russian billionaire became the owner of the Chelsea in 2003 and under his ownership, Chelsea won 21 major trophies including five Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made full use of the practice session ahead of their must-win clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Eliminator on Wednesday.
In hot and humid Kolkata weather, Lucknow players left no stone unturned during the practice session and Sri Lanka pacer Dushmanth Chameera revealed how he mastered the art of bowling yorkers.
Meanwhile, Deepak Hooda elaborated on how Lucknow is gearing up for the knockout match and said past performances did not matter now and Eliminator will be a totally different ball game.
In the Eliminator, fans would be keen to watch the battle between Bangalore's bowlers and Lucknow Super Giants' opening duo of KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock. They are by far the best opening pair of this IPL.
Rahul and de Kock scored 1039 runs together this season so far, including the highest opening partnership in IPL history of 210 against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The winner of the Eliminator between LSG and RCB will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals (RR) on May 27 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Motera in Ahmedabad.

Written off by many critics after the mega auction, Gujarat Titans did the unthinkable as they marched into IPL 2022 Final after winning Qualifier 1 against the Rajasthan Royals. From Hardik Pandya's captaincy to different players coming out to take charge of the team, here are the 3 big reasons behind GT's success.
Cool-headed captaincy from Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya emerged as one of the best cool-headed captains this season. Hardik too became a backbone to the team at the number 4 batting position as he curbed his natural instinct of going hard and constructed his inning in a way that every other batter could bat around him.
Finishers rescued Titans on most occasions
Rahul Tewatia and David rescued their team during multiple close encounters in the league stages. Tewatia's two back-to-back sixes of Odean Smith easily define the Titans' never die approach. Rashid Khan was another player who had some extraordinary performances in finishing the game with the bat.
Pack of match-winning bowlers
Mohammed Shami along with Lockie Ferguson and Alzarri Joseph helped Gujarat put pressure on opposition openers and get rid of them early. Unlike the past seasons, Shami remained consistent with both new and old balls. Rashid Khan also justified his price tag and picked wickets and also kept the scoring rate in check.

Sehwag's suggestion for Umran Malik to KL Rahul&nbsp;</a>

When Mike Hesson in RCB’s podcast mentioned his team’s long-term plan, he had Faf du Plessis in mind. RCB’s Director of Cricket Operations has chalked out a 3-year-long plan with Faf du Plessis at the helm.
Apparently, the former South African skipper is 37. Though his fitness cannot be challenged, it is clear that in the near future RCB are not planning to hand the reins to a younger mind. While his predecessor, Virat Kohli, who is 33 currently might turn out to be their alternate choice, it is most unlikely that he will take up the job again.
Even Mega Auctions are far from sight which might have given the team a chance to pick younger players with a perspective of either directly making them the skipper or grooming them at least.
Along similar lines, is Chennai’s MS Dhoni!
While Faf du Plessis, at 37, is still persistent with his form. With 443 runs at a strike rate of 130, the skipper is the team’s highest runscorer. However, this is not the case with the much-loved ‘Thala’ of Chennai Super Kings. MSD in Chennai’s last league game confirmed that he will lead CSK in 2023 as well.
Although, MSD’s captaincy skills are undeniably the finest, do the 4-time champions really need a skipper who had only contributed with 232 runs at a strike rate of 123?
In Ravindra Jadeja, they had a potential option, but his embarrassing run as the skipper will make it difficult for him to take the job again.
While more and more teams are looking for younger players as an option in the cash-rich league, CSK and RCB have turned out to be the only 2 teams who seemingly aren’t ready to let go of their old guards. 8 teams out of the 10 boast skippers who are below the mark or 35, and 6 teams have skippers who are at 30 or less (Kane Williamson, 31 & Rohit Sharma, 34).

Why is RCB persisting with 37-year-old Faf du Plessis as a captain?

8 out of 10 teams in IPL 2022 have captains below the age of 35. What works for RCB's Faf du Plessis and CSK's MS Dhoni?

'He has to be used carefully by the Indian captain because if he is used too much in the powerplay, Umran may end up conceding a lot of runs, but if used efficiently, he will be an asset to the Team, said Sehwag.

Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul has blamed his team's poor fielding for their 14 run-defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday in the IPL eliminator.
In the post-match conference, Rahul said, "I think it's quite obvious - the reasons why we didn't win. We let ourselves down in the field. Dropping easy catches never helps."
However, the Indian batter who has been chosen as the captain for the T20I series against South Africa next month was happy with the team's performance in their debut season. "We'll take back a lot of positives. It's a young team. They'll learn from their mistakes, go back home and try and be better players." said Rahul.

Lucknow Super Giants' dream run in their inaugural season of IPL came to an end after Royal Challengers Bangalore won the Eliminator by 14 runs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday night. Bangalore will now lock horns with Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 on May 27.
Chasing a mammoth 208-run target, Lucknow lost Quinton de Kock early but KL Rahul and Manan Vohra steadied the innings but the latter went back to the pavilion against the run of play. Rahul then stitched a 96-run stand with Deepak Hooda as Bangalore failed to take wickets in the middle overs. After Hooda's dismissal, Marcus Stoinis and Rahul played big shots and it seemed LSG would have the last laugh but Josh Hazlewood and Harshal Patel bowled with great line and length in the last three overs, thus stopping Lucknow 14 runs short of the target
Earlier, Faf du Plessis again failed with the bat as he was dismissed for a golden duck. Rajat Patidar then unleashed his power-hitting skills as Virat Kohli played a sheet anchor role at the other end. Lucknow pulled back things in the middle over and removed Kohli and Glenn Maxwell cheaply. But a shoddy fielding effort from LSG at the start of slog overs allowed Patidar and Dinesh Karthik to go for big hits. Patidar slammed his first IPL century in 49 balls and he remained unbeaten on 112. Meanwhile, Karthik smashed 37 runs off 23 balls as RCB scored 84 runs in the last five overs to reach 207-4 in 20 overs.
