Former Australian captain, Aaron Finch, has declared that he will be retiring from the Big Bash League (BBL) after the conclusion of the current season with the Melbourne Renegades. This announcement, made on Thursday, marks the end of an era for Finch in the BBL.
While Finch's retirement currently pertains only to the BBL, it is understood that he is not expected to participate in other major international leagues, though he may still appear in legends tournaments. In a recent conversation with Channel 7, Finch hinted that this season would be his last in the BBL.
Although Finch has not been part of the Renegades' playing XI recently, last appearing on December 23, the team plans to honour him with a final match against the Melbourne Stars on January 13 at Marvel Stadium, according to an ESPNCricinfo report. Despite the Renegades' slim chances for a finals berth, this match will serve as a fitting farewell for Finch.
Finch leaves an impressive legacy in T20 cricket, ranking as the seventh-highest run-scorer with a record of 11,458 runs at an average of 33.70 and a strike rate of 138.21. His personal best of 172 runs came in a match against Zimbabwe in 2018.

Year Ender 2022: From Federer, Serena to Benzema, Hazard, here are all the sportspersons who retired

From Roger Federer to sensational Jhulan Goswami... we have put together the list of sportspersons who called it a day this year. Take a look.


From Eoin Morgan, the English captain, to one of the most enterprising all-rounders in Cricket, Chris Morris, quite a few international players decided to end their international careers this year.

Tennis
Two of the greatest tennis players of all time, Serena Williams and Roger Federer, announced their retirement this year. While the 23-time Grand Slam winner, Williams played her final game at US Open, the Swiss Maestro, who has 20 Slams to his name played his last at Laver Cup.&nbsp;
Another notable retirement in the sport was that of Ashleigh Barty. The 3-time Grand Slam Champion shockingly retired from tennis at 25 years of age while she was ranked No. 1. The Australian quit the sport less than two months after winning the Australian Open.&nbsp;
Football
While a lot of footballers hung their boots this year, some decided to only retire from international football.&nbsp;
French ace Karim Benzema, 35 who could not take part in the World Cup due to his injury decided to end his international career. He announced his international retirement soon after his side lost the World Cup final to Argentina after a tough fight in a mouthwatering final. Apart from Benzema, Spain's Sergio Busquets, and Belgium captain Eden Hazard also announced their international retirement.
Gerard Pique &amp; Blaise Matuidi were the two footballers who retired from the sport. The multi-trophy winner, Pique played his last match at Camp Nou, which was also his 616th appearance for Barcelona. Matuidi, 35, who had helped France win the World Cup in 2018 decided to call it a day after he did not find any takers this year. Apart from them Argentina&rsquo;s Carlos Tevez; England&rsquo;s Jermain Defoe, Mark Noble and Jack Wilshere; Belgian footballer Mousa Dembele also decided to call it a day.
Cricket&nbsp;
Cricket saw a lot of big names retiring in both men&rsquo;s and women&rsquo;s cricket.
In the Indian women&rsquo;s team, legends Jhulan Goswami and Mithali Raj retired from all formats of cricket this year. From the men's side, Suresh Raina and Robin Uthappa retired from all forms of the game.&nbsp;
A lot of international stalwarts too called it quits this year. From Eoin Morgan, the English captain, to one of the most enterprising all-rounders in Cricket, Chris Morris, quite a few international players decided to end their international careers this year. New Zealand&rsquo;s Ross Taylor, Windies powerhouse Kieron Pollard, and Mohd Hafeez of Pakistan too stepped away from all formats of cricket this year.&nbsp;
A lot of players chose to retire only in a particular format, like Ben Stokes, whose shocking ODI retirement triggered the discussion around the burdensome cricketing calendar. Apart from him, Aaron finch too decided to bid adieu to the 50-over format.&nbsp;
In women&rsquo;s cricket, Australia&rsquo;s Rachel Haynes, South Africa&rsquo;s Mignon du Preez, England&rsquo;s Katherine Brunt &amp; Anya Shrubsole; New Zealand&rsquo;s Amy Satterthwaite and Katey Martin; and Deandra Dottin of West Indies retired.&nbsp;
Formula 1
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in November was the last race of the season and also the last race for four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel. The German driver closed his career with a 10th-place finish, while Max Verstappen collected his 15th win of the season ahead of Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez.

With 1 of their game lost and 1 going down the drain out of the 3 played, it was important for Australia to win big on Monday and the hosts did exactly that. The Aussies beat Ireland by 42 runs to claim their 2nd win in the T20 World Cup 2022.
Put into bat, the Men in Yellow were denied a flying start as they were 84/3 after 11 overs. However, skipper Aaron Finch finally found his mojo back and smashed a 44-ball-63. Last match's hero Marcus Stoinis also chipped in with a quick 35 as the Aussies finished at 179/8.
Ireland's run-chase began on a disastrous note as they lost half their side with just 25 runs on the board. Lorcan Tucker though tried to steady the ship but no support from the other end meant that his unbeaten 71 went in vain as the Irish were bowled out for 137.

T20 World cup 2021: win the toss, win the match - how luck with the coin mostly sealed the game

With the majority of teams ending up victorious after the coin came down in their favour, toss was clearly the boss in the T20 World Cup 2021. We at editorji analise. 

BITE: BHARAT&nbsp;ARUN, Bowling Coach, India
"I'm not trying to give any excuses, but I think the toss plays a very, very, very vital role in any match like this, which I think shouldn't."
BITE: AARON FINCH, Captain, Australia
"It did play a big part, you saw at the end there the dew factor. The slower balls weren't holding in the wicket as much. I don't know how I did it - maybe it was just fate."
They say that you can't predict the result in cricket till the last ball is bowled but it didn't seem to be the case in the T20 World Cup 2021. The tournament in the UAE&nbsp;mostly saw the team winning the toss ending up victorious.
While India's bowling coach Bharat&nbsp;Arun called it an undue advantage after The Men in Blue lost both of their opening games after losing the toss, Australian skipper Aaron Finch said that him winning 6 out of the 7 tosses in the tournament was a big factor in his side ending up as champions.
Let's compare the 3 venues where the World T20 games were played. 5 out of 9 matches were won by teams winning the toss in Sharjah. While the win percentage after winning the toss in Abu&nbsp;Dhabi&nbsp;was almost 64, it jumped to over 84 in Dubai, the venue which hosted the most number of games&nbsp;including the final.
Former India captain Sunil&nbsp;Gavaskar&nbsp;also highlighted how the toss became a decisive factor in the World T20 and said that ICC&nbsp;should&nbsp;make sure that there is a level playing field for both teams.
Clearly, toss was the boss in the 2021 World T20 and the ones who had the coin come down in their favour had an upper hand straight away.

Langer addresses concerns over coaching style with Aus team

Aaron Finch&nbsp;confirmed that Justin&nbsp;Langer&nbsp;addressed the concerns over his coaching style with the&nbsp;Australian team and took it head on.

Few days after Test skipper Tim Paine came out in support of Justin Langer, Australia's limited-overs skipper Aaron Finch&nbsp;confirmed that there were no issues with the coaching style of Langer.
Before the Australian&nbsp;squad departed for West Indies, Langer&nbsp;addressed the confronting team reviews. Finch said that Langer&nbsp;took it head on and addressed that. He added that&nbsp;Langer&nbsp;has done a fantastic job and the way he confronted that and the way it was received by the players was outstanding.
Reports of an alleged unrest in the Australia dressing room about the coaching style of&nbsp;Langer&nbsp;started doing the rounds after Australia lost a home Test series to India for the second time in a row.

Can Kohli's RCB end their IPL jinx in UAE?

Royal Challengers Bangalore have reached the IPL&nbsp;final thrice but haven't crossed the finish line yet

Can Kohli-led RCB end their IPL title jinx in UAE?

Year after year, Royal Challengers Bangalore come up with one of the most explosive-looking IPL&nbsp;teams which make their fans believe that this might be their year they've waited for. Unfortunately, the fortunes haven't changed yet for the men in maroon &amp; gold.
RCB&nbsp;in the past has finished as runners-up thrice and have made it to the playoffs 2 times but the nerves of the big stage seem to get to the Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;led side.&nbsp;
Skipper Kohli&nbsp;always tries his best with the bat and is the leading run-scorer of the league. AB de Villiers&nbsp;has been his second in command over the years and has single-handedly&nbsp;won them numerous&nbsp;games. Having roped in Aaron Finch in their squad in the 2019 auction, Bangalore probably has one of the most explosive top orders this time around.
But it's their bowling which lets RCB&nbsp;down more often than not.&nbsp;One reason that has made their&nbsp;bowling attack look weak is&nbsp;their home condition. M Chinnaswamy stadium is considered as a graveyard for the bowlers but with the IPL&nbsp;now happening&nbsp;in&nbsp;UAE, it may just prove to be a blessing in disguise&nbsp;for their bowlers.&nbsp;
With all 3 venues in UAE&nbsp;having long boundaries and&nbsp;turning tracks, spinners will enjoy their time out there. RCB&nbsp;already had&nbsp;Yuzvendra&nbsp;Chahal,&nbsp;Washington Sundar, Pawan&nbsp;Negi and Moeen Ali&nbsp;in their ranks and they have also replaced Kane Richardson with Adam Zampa. With a good bunch of pacers including Dale Steyn,&nbsp;Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini and Umesh Yadav, the Royal Challengers do look a unit that has got all its basis covered.
