Mahela Jayawardene becomes head coach of MI

<p>Mumbai Indians (MI) have appointed Mahela Jayawardene as their head coach for IPL 2025. He will replace Mark Boucher, who was the head coach of the team in 2022 and 2023.</p>

<p>Earlier, Jayawardene was the head coach of the team for five consecutive years from 2017 to 2022. Although he was made the global head of the franchise in 2022 due to MI&#39;s global expansion into other leagues, he has been brought back again now.</p>

<h2><strong>Paras Mhambrey can join Mumbai Indians</strong></h2>

<p>Former Indian coach Paras Mhambrey can join Mumbai Indians in the next season of the Indian Premier League. He can also be present in the mega auction to be held later this year.</p>

<p>Reports are claiming that Paras is soon going to join MI, one of the most successful franchises of IPL, although the franchise has not made any announcement yet. Paras has been the bowling coach of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup on 29 June.</p>

<p>Last month, Rahul Dravid and Vikram Rathore joined Rajasthan Royals. The franchise announced the signing of both the Indian coaches on 20 September. The Indian team won the T20 World Cup under the coaching of Dravid and Rathore.</p>

<h3><strong>Paras was more successful as a coach than a player</strong></h3>

<p>Paras Mhambrey has played 2 Tests and 3 ODIs for India. His first class career was brilliant, but he did not get much success at the international level. It is said about Paras that he is a more talented coach than a player.</p>

Sanju said- I was going to play the T20 World Cup

<p>Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson recently said that he was sure to play in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024. But 10 minutes before the toss, Rohit Sharma told him that he was out of the team.</p>

<p>Sanju said in an interview on Vimal Kumar&#39;s YouTube channel, I was disappointed by this, but the way Rohit Sharma explained, I agreed and my respect for him increased further. Samson is currently playing for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy.</p>

<h2><strong>I was asked to be ready on the morning of the final</strong></h2>

<p>Sanju, who recently scored his first century in T20, said, &#39;On the morning of the final, there was a chance of me playing in Barbados. I was asked to be ready. I was ready but before the toss I was told that we will go without any change. I was disappointed by this. While the warm-up was going on, Rohit bhai came and took me aside and started explaining to me why I was taking such a decision.</p>

<p>Sanju further said, he explained to me and said in a very casual manner, Sanju, did you understand? I said, I understand it. Let&#39;s play the match, we will talk after winning. After this, the Indian captain said, no, you are telling me a lot in your mind. I feel that you are not happy. There is something in your mind.</p>

<p>Sanju said, &#39;No, no Rohit bhai, there is nothing like that.&#39; After this, the conversation started between us again and he said that if you ask me as a player, I have to play.</p>

<h3><strong>Since childhood, it was my dream to play the World Cup for India: Samson</strong></h3>

<p>Samson said that he regrets only one thing that he could not play the World Cup final under the captaincy of a leader like Rohit Sharma. But he is happy that Rohit explained to him before the match by leaving the focus on all the other players, this thing touched his heart. He told Rohit that since childhood it was my dream to play the World Cup for India. I respect your decision.</p>

<p>Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat on Thursday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, but New Zealand&#39;s fast bowlers proved Rohit&#39;s decision wrong. Indian batsmen failed to establish themselves in the swing and bouncy pitch.</p>

<p>Rishabh Pant scored the highest 20 runs, while Yashasvi Jaiswal could score only 13 runs. Captain Rohit Sharma (2 runs) was bowled by Tim Southee. Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin could not even open the account. Matt Henry took 5 wickets, while William O&#39;Rourke got 4 wickets.</p>

India-New Zealand first test- Indian team all out for 46 runs

<p>India star cricketer Virat Kohli has written a letter for former South African great batsman AB de Villiers. Kohli wrote this letter after de Villiers was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. De Villiers was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame on Wednesday along with England legend Alastair Cook and India&#39;s Neetu David.</p>

<p>This letter has been released by the ICC, in which Kohli has praised his former teammate of IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).</p>

<p>Kohli wrote, &#39;You fully deserve this place. After all, the Hall of Fame represents your impact on the game and your contribution has been truly great. People have always been talking about your potential and it is right too. You are the most talented cricketer I have played with, you are definitely number one.&#39;</p>

<h2><strong>I liked your confidence in yourself the most</strong></h2>

<p>He further wrote, &#39;But what I liked the most was your confidence in your own ability. You had a lot of belief that you could do whatever you wanted on the cricket field, and you generally did that. That is what made you so special.</p>

<p>There is no better example in my mind than when we were batting together for RCB against KKR in Kolkata in 2016. We were chasing a target of 184 runs. KKR had bowlers like Sunil Narine, Morne Morkel, Andre Russell and Shakib Al Hasan. You came to bat with me when the score was 70 and Narine was bowling.</p>

<p>You played two dot balls and during the timeout told me that you were not selecting his balls properly. I told you to give me the strike and I would try to hit boundaries off his balls.</p>

<p>After the timeout, Narine came to bowl the over, I was ready at the non-striker end thinking you would definitely give me a single. But you did not do that and hit a 94 meter long six on Narine&#39;s ball.</p>

<p>This is one of those memorable moments when I was batting with you. This was the time when I enjoyed the most on the cricket field.&#39;</p>

<h3><strong>I remember your innings played in Delhi in 2015</strong></h3>

<p>&#39;Everyone remembers your aggressive shots but you adapt yourself according to the situation. Take the test match played in Delhi in 2015 when you faced 297 balls and scored 43 runs in an attempt to save the test match. I still remember that innings.&#39;</p>
