World Test Championship: Team India one step away from final

After completing a sensational win over England in less than 2 days in the 3rd Test, Team India are now just 1 game away from making it to the World Test Championship final. Team India is in the top spot of the table with 490 points collected and 71%&nbsp;points earned vs points available. New Zealand&nbsp;is in the 2nd spot ahead of Australia and England. With the loss in Ahmedabad, England is completely out of the race and can't possibly qualify for the final. England can spoil India's party if they manage to win the 4th and final Test which will send Australia to the final. For Team India, the equation is simple, they need to either win or draw the 4th Test to book their tickets for the final at the Lords.&nbsp;

The International Cricket Council has said the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand&nbsp;will go ahead as planned. The match which is scheduled&nbsp;to be played from 18th June in Southampton&nbsp;will go ahead despite Britain added India to the travel "red list" after the&nbsp;COVID-19 caseload surge.&nbsp;India entering the "red list" effectively bans all travel from the country and makes a 10-day hotel quarantine compulsory for UK residents arriving back home. ICC&nbsp;however said that staging the WTC&nbsp;final will not get affected as the players will be in a bio-secure environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Chennai Super Kings captain&nbsp;Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels that it is hard to "keep up" with younger players in the team but it will be a "big positive" for the 39-year-old if they are not able to point fingers at him over his fitness. Dhoni&nbsp;who retired from international cricket last year admitted that he is not getting younger and getting old and being fit are two difficult things. The former India captain who leads the Chennai Super Kings in IPL&nbsp;has been a benchmark for fitness in Indian cricket.&nbsp;

It's safe to say that the Chennai Super Kings are back to being the force they once were, as MS Dhoni's men thrashed Rajasthan Royals by 45 runs, to claim their 2nd consecutive win. Batting first, a collective effort powered CSK to 188/9. Royals' run chase looked on track when they were 87/2. That's CSK spun its web of destruction. After Jadeja picked 2 wickets in an over, Moeen Ali crushed Royals' hopes with 3 scalps in 4 balls. Rajasthan could eventually manage 143/9 and were handed 2nd loss in 3 games.&nbsp;

It will a repeat of last year's final as the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians take on Delhi Capitals in Chennai on Tuesday. Having won 2 of their 3 games each, both sides will be high on confidence going into the clash.&nbsp;
It still is a tale of 2 contrasts. While Mumbai&nbsp;rely a lot on their bowling and have defended 2 low totals, Delhi is a batting heavy unit and chased down 196 vs Punjab with 10 balls to spare.&nbsp;
Apart from beating the men from the capital in the final showdown last year, Mumbai&nbsp;also have a 16-12 overall head-to-head record against Delhi and will may have their noses slightly ahead on Tuesday night.

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.

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

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.

For Team India, the equation is simple, they need to either win or draw the 4th Test to book their tickets for the final at the Lords
