Team India's training camp at Motera unlikely before IPL 2020

BCCI&nbsp;was keen on having a training camp for Team India at the recently inaugurated&nbsp;Motera stadium in Gujarat ahead of the IPL&nbsp;but that plan is&nbsp;unlikely to go ahead. A Gujarat Cricket Association official told PTI that there were media reports that the camp will start from August 18 and go on till September 4 but they haven't got any formal confirmation from the BCCI till now. A senior IPL franchise official had also questioned the logic of having a red ball camp before IPL when the players are playing a completely different format. Moreover, with the current Covid-19 situation, travelling from multiple cities before leaving for the&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;may expose&nbsp;the cricketers to risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rajasthan, Kolkata and Punjab take the 5th, 6th and 7th spots respectively with 1 win each. Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad are yet to open their campaign and have lost all 3 games so far.

As if losing 3 consecutive games was not bad enough for the Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad,&nbsp;Muttiah Muralitharan, who is part of SRH's coaching staff&nbsp;underwent an&nbsp;angioplasty procedure at a city hospital in Chennai.&nbsp;
Muralitharan, who turned 49 on Saturday, had a clot in his&nbsp;artery which required him to undergo the procedure. The surgery went well and he is likely to be discharged on Monday evening.
The Sri&nbsp;Lankan&nbsp;legend though will now have to undergo a 7-day mandatory quarantine period before joining the SRH&nbsp;camp, since he had to be taken out of the bio-bubble.

After a hiccup in the previous game, Delhi Capitals brought their campaign back on track with a 6-wicket win vs Punjab Kings. Batting first, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal took their side off to a flying start with a 122-run opening stand. But Delhi fought back with quick wickets and restricted Punjab to 195/4. Delhi openers too looked determined to chase it down and despite Prithvi Shaw getting out for 32,&nbsp;Shikhar Dhawan carried on and put his side in command with a 49-ball-92. Delhi got over the finish line with ease and pulled off the&nbsp;2nd best run chase at the Wankhkede stadium.

Both teams bounced back strongly in their 2nd games after losing the opening encounter and would not to take their foot off the peddle. New Royals skipper Sanju Samson had to come out to bat in the first 6 overs&nbsp;in both the games but Rajasthan&nbsp;wouldn't hope for that to happen this time around. Samson has been dismissed thrice by Deepak&nbsp;Chahar&nbsp;in the 28 balls he has faced by the CSK&nbsp;pacer.
Interestingly, CSK hold a slight edge over the Royals with a 14-10 head-to-head record. But with both teams having good depth&nbsp;in their batting, it&nbsp;promises to be a cracker of a match.&nbsp;

RCB couldn't have asked for a better start to their 2021 IPL campaign as they thrashed KKR by 38 runs to claim their 3rd consecutive win. Virat Kohli's decision to bat first seemed to have backfired when his side was reduced to 9/2. Glenn Maxwell counter attacked from the word go and smashed his 2nd straight half-century. But it was AB de Villiers unbeaten 34-ball-76 that powered RCB to 204/4. Chasing which, KKR should good intent but lost wickets at regular intervals. Big guns once again failed to fire as the Knights could eventually manage 166/8. They have now lost 2 games in a row.&nbsp;

Sunrisers Hyderabad may have lost all of their first 3 games but their batting coach VVS&nbsp;Laxman&nbsp;is confident that the Orange Army can still revive their IPL&nbsp;campaign. After a hearbreaking&nbsp;loss against the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians, Laxman&nbsp;said that&nbsp;it's important to motivate the boys by addressing the positive aspects and not only brooding over the negative aspects of the things which didn't go their way.

Mumbai&nbsp;Indians now lead the charts with 2 wins, 4 points over Royal Challenges Bangalore. 3rd and 4th spot remains constant with Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals. In the 2nd half, no changes but Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad remain 8th with 3 losses in 3 games.&nbsp;

On a slow and low batting surface of Chennai, Mumbai&nbsp;Indians elected to bat first as the openers gave them just the perfect start. Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad fought back to remove captain Rohit&nbsp;Sharma and Suryakumar&nbsp;Yadav&nbsp;in quick succession. Quinton de Kock&nbsp;scored 40 but the rest of the batsmen failed to adjust to the surface in Chennai. Old warhorse&nbsp;Kieron&nbsp;Pollard then rose to the occasion and smashed an unbeaten 35 off 22 balls to take Mumbai&nbsp;to 150/5. In reply, the Sunrisers&nbsp;looked in a hurry to finish the game as Jonny&nbsp;Bairstow&nbsp;took apart the Mumbai&nbsp;bowlers. He smashed a 22 ball 43 but no one else failed to hit the groove. Captain Warner scored a 34 ball 36 before being run out by Hardik&nbsp;Pandya. Sunrisers&nbsp;imploded once again as they fell short by 13 runs with Rahul&nbsp;Chahar&nbsp;and Trent Boult&nbsp;taking 3 wickets each. 3rd straight loss for Sunrisers&nbsp;this season as they are yet to open their account in 2021 as Mumbai&nbsp;Indians jumped to the top of the points table with their 2nd win.&nbsp;

After a morale-crushing loss to Chennai Super Kings where Punjab Kings managed to score just 106/8 from their 20 overs, the team will be hoping for a quick turn around as they play the mighty Delhi Capitals. Despite the humiliating loss, Punjab Kings had a silver lining in the form of Shahrukh&nbsp;Khan. The Rs 5.25 crore&nbsp;valued superstar from Tamil Nadu&nbsp;scored a 36 ball 47 and took the team to a respectable total. Delhi Capitals are also coming off a loss after they were humbled by Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals in a last-over thriller. With the return of Anrich&nbsp;Nortje, Kagiso&nbsp;Rabada&nbsp;gets his partner back as the two pacers are expected to make the batters&nbsp;uncomfortable on the fast and bouncy Mumbai&nbsp;track. Punjab Kings hold a slight edge over Delhi Capitals in the head to head record having won 15 of the 26 games played between the two teams.&nbsp;

With 2 wins from 2 outings, the Royal Challengers Bangalore couldn't have asked for a better start to their IPL&nbsp;2021 campaign. Skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli would be supremely happy with the newest recruit Glenn Maxwell who has scored 98 runs from 2 outings. His team is doing well but Virat&nbsp;himself needs to get in the thick of things with some big scores. A death bowler is what RCB&nbsp;is missing as they tend to give away a lot of runs in the death overs. Eoin&nbsp;Morgan's Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders are struggling to get off the blocks this season after a gut-wrenching loss to Mumbai Indians in their previous game. Middle-order is expected to fire as the team is in desperate need of runs from Andre Russell's bat. With 1 win from 2 outings, KKR&nbsp;has a chance to go to the top of the points table if they register a thumping&nbsp;win. In the 27 meetings between both teams, Kolkata&nbsp;leads the head to head record with 15 wins while RCB&nbsp;is not far behind with 12 victories.&nbsp;

Pakistan's cricket players will get visas to compete in the World T20 in India this October, the BCCI's apex council has been told by Board secretary Jay Shah following government assurances. Shah told the council that the mega-event will be staged across nine venues with Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium hosting the final. The other venues are Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Dharamsala and Lucknow.&nbsp;Pakistan has been demanding assurances from the ICC that visas will be granted to its players for the World T20 as&nbsp;India and Pakistan have not played bilateral cricket for close to a decade now due to diplomatic tensions between the two nations.

As described by coach Stephen Fleming, the heartbeat of Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni&nbsp;celebrated a major milestone with his teammates after beating Punjab&nbsp;Kings in the IPL. Dhoni&nbsp;cut a cake in the dressing room at the Wankhede&nbsp;cricket stadium after playing his 200th match for the yellow brigade. The win against Punjab also made it extra special as CSK&nbsp;opened their account in IPL&nbsp;2021 with a thumping victory. Dhoni&nbsp;is the 2nd cricketer after Rohit&nbsp;Sharma to play 200 games or more in&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;and now-defunct Champions League T20.&nbsp;

Chennai Super Kings have jumped to the 2nd spot in the points table which is led by Royal Challengers Bangalore. Mumbai and Delhi occupy the 3rd &amp; 4th spot respectively. In the 2nd half, Rajasthan is 5th followed by Kolkata and Punjab in the 6th &amp; 7th spot. Hyderabad without a win so far in 2 games is 8th on the table.&nbsp;

2 matches, 2 losses and Sunrisers are yet to open their account in IPL&nbsp;2021. Both losses came in a way that defied logic as the middle and lower order of Sunrisers&nbsp;collapsed without putting up a fight. In a bid to shake up the team, coach Trevor Bayliss&nbsp;might just get Kane Williamson back in the Playing XI who has been missing for the first two games. Mumbai&nbsp;Indians, on the other hand, scripted a hard-fought win against Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders and look like a well-oiled unit. Rohit Sharma is yet to fire as the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians' skipper is due for a big score. The low and tough Chennai wicket will once again be in the&nbsp;spotlight as teams chasing at Chepauk&nbsp;are finding it tough to play. With both teams locked at 8 wins each in head to head record, it is expected to be a cracking contest.&nbsp;

South African fast bowler Anrich&nbsp;Nortje&nbsp;who missed Delhi Capitals' 2nd game in IPL&nbsp;due to a positive report has now tested negative. The 27-year-old has now joined the Delhi Capitals' squad and will be available for selection. The management in a statement revealed that Nortje&nbsp;had a false positive test result which is quite common and has been tested three times after that with each test returning negative. This is the 2nd such instance of a false positive report in IPL&nbsp;after Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders' Nitish&nbsp;Rana also tested positive for Covid-19 but was later found to be negative on subsequent testing.&nbsp;

With his short stint at IPL&nbsp;2021 over and Ben Stokes will now fly back&nbsp;home on Saturday according to ESPNCricinfo. Stokes who fractured his finger while playing for the Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals will undergo surgery and is going to be out of action for 12 weeks. X-rays and CT Scan done in Mumbai&nbsp;where the Royals are currently playing their league games had revealed a fracture in his left index finger. The surgery is planned for Monday next week in Leeds and the total period of rehabilitation is estimated to be 12 weeks according to the English Cricket Board.&nbsp;

So far, bookies and fixers across the world in cricket would rely on cash, expensive cars, clothes, jewellery and even mobile phones to make corrupt approaches but things are now changing. According to a new report by PTI, bookies are now looking at cryptocurrency&nbsp;as it is virtually untraceable. In an interview, ICC&nbsp;Anti Corruption Unit's&nbsp;General Manager Alex Marshall said that the latest case of former Zimbabwe Captain Heath Streak involved a Bitcoin&nbsp;transaction. A bookie had paid 2 Bitcoins&nbsp;to Streak for inside information which was worth over $35,000 at that time in 2018. While this is a completely new phenomenon, experts aren't ruling out further use as this currency in nearly impossible to track as compared to regular paper cash.&nbsp;
