Mumbai Indians youngster Arjun Tendulkar picked up his first wicket in front of the home crowd against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, however, he also ended up featuring in an unwanted record. Arjun conceded 31 runs in the 16th over and with that over he bowled the second most expensive over by an MI bowler in the IPL. Daniel Sams holds the first position as he conceded 35 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022. For the third position, there is a tie between three players as Pawan Suyal against Royal Challengers Bangalore (2014), Alzarri Joseph against Rajasthan Royals (2019) and Mitchell McClenaghan vs PBKS (2017) had conceded 28 runs each.

Arjun’s over turned out to be crucial in Saturday’s match as it shifted the momentum in favour of Punjab Kings.

PBKS got to a flying start even though they lost the wicket of Matthew Short (11) quite early in the innings. The talented duo of Indian youngsters Prabhsimran Singh and Atharva Taide played some beautiful shots that kept the PBKS scoreboard ticking. PBKS crossed the 50-run mark in 5.3 overs. At the end of six overs, PBKS end the powerplay at 58/1 with Prabhsimran Singh (25*) and Atharva Taide (19*) unbeaten.

However, Mumbai orchestrated Punjab’s downfall in the middle overs as Arjun Tendulkar stepped up and picked up his first wicket in front of the home crowd. The young pacer trapped Prabhsimran Singh (25) right in front of the stumps with a yorker. Piyush Chawla followed up quickly to give control of the match to MI. Atharva Taide was dismissed by Chawla for a score of 29 (17).

PBKS managed to put up a score of 83/4 in 10 overs, with Sam Curran (0*) and Harpreet Singh Bhatia (1*) unbeaten on the crease.

Pacer Arshdeep Singh held his nerves in the last over to help Punjab Kings script a stunning 13-run victory against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. Punjab Kings needed 15 runs in the last over but Arshdeep conceded just 2 runs and took two wickets in the final over.

Arshdeep castled Tilak Varma and Impact Player Nehal Wadhera with blistering yorkers to the middle-stump, breaking the woodwork twice in two deliveries in the final over of Mumbai’s innings.

However, the left-handed pacer missed out on a hat-trick when he bowled a wide yorker to Jofra Archer, but he only gave up two runs in the final over to complete a spectacular win for Punjab that appeared implausible at one point. Suryakumar Yadav’s 57 and Cameron Green’s 67 almost pulled Mumbai towards their first successful 200-run chase at the Wankhede Stadium.

However, Arshdeep returned for his third over in the 18th over to dismiss Suryakumar for nine runs. Arshdeep also topped the IPL 2023 Purple Cap list with 13 wickets from seven games.

Mumbai Indians gave Punjab a run for their money till the very end, but could not record their fourth win on the trot despite Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green coming up with heroic knocks for the hosts. Cameron Green slammed a 43-ball 67 with 6 fours and 3 sixes, while Rohit Sharma scored 44 runs off 27 balls, hitting four fours and three sixes and Suryakumar Yadav hit 57 runs off 26 balls, including seven fours and three sixes.

Earlier, Sam Curran played a superb 29-ball-55 knock as Punjab Kings recovered from a hazardous position to make a solid 214 for 8 against Mumbai Indians. With 131 runs coming in the final 10 overs, a 92-run stand for the eighth wicket with Harpreet Bhatia (41 off 28 balls) changed the course of the game.

Arjun Tendulkar (1/48 in 3 overs), who made his IPL debut this season, got a decent start but went for 31 in his third over as 69 runs were scored between overs 16-18. In the 17th and 18th overs, Jofra Archer and Cameron Green went for 13 and 25, respectively.

Arjun Tendulkar picks maiden wicket, defends 20 in last over as MI beat SRH for hat-trick of wins in IPL 2023

SRH vs MI: Mumbai Indians (192/5) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (178) by 14 runs to register their third win in a row in IPL 2023.

Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad played out yet another thriller in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Tuesday with the former emerging victorious by 14 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal.

Chasing 193 for victory, the Sunrisers brought the equation down to 20 in the last over with two wickets in hand and the dangerous Abdul Samad on strike.

Arjun Tendulkar was handed the ball by skipper Rohit Sharma and he managed to give away just 5 runs along with the wicket of Bhuvneshwar Kumar as Hyderabad finished at 178-all out in 19.5 overs.

Tendulkar’s maiden IPL wicket saw him finish with impressive figures of 1 for 18 from 2.5 overs.

‘Happy to bowl any time captain asks’

“Obviously it was great getting my first IPL wicket. I just had to focus on what was in hand, the plan and executing it.

“Our plan was just to bowl wide and get the long boundary into play, make the batsman hit it to the longer side.

“I love bowling, I am happy to bowl anytime the captain asks me to and just stick to the team plan and give my best,” Tendulkar said after the match.

Mayank, Klaasen stage SRH fightback

SRH were struggling at 72 for 4 at one stage but managed to recover thanks to useful contributions from opener Mayank Agarwal (48) and Heinrich Klaasen, who 16-ball 36 brought the hosts back in the reckoning.

But important strikes from Piyush Chawla (2/43) and Jason Behrendorff (2/37) in the final stages took the game away from SRH, who dropped down to ninth on the table with 4 points from 5 games.

Mumbai Indians Trounce Gujarat Giants Again, Clinch WPL Playoff Berth

Mumbai Indians’ juggernaut continued in the Women’s Premier League on Tuesday as the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team stormed to their fifth win in a row, crushing Gujarat Giants by 55 runs

Mumbai Indians’ juggernaut continued in the Women’s Premier League on Tuesday as the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team stormed to their fifth win in a row, crushing Gujarat Giants by 55 runs. MI thus clinched a playoff berth with three matches still remaining. After making a thumping start to the inaugural WPL against Gujarat Giants with a massive 143-run win at the DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai Indians once again got the better of their opponents with a comprehensive all-round show at the Brabourne Stadium.

Gujarat Giants, who stuttered to a fourth loss in five matches and remained on the penultimate spot in the five-team points table, made 107/9 in 20 overs chasing 163 on a pitch that had something for all parties.

In their previous meeting, Gujarat were bundled out for 64 in 15.1 overs in a chase of 208.

Hayley Matthews made up for her failure with the bat to return with 4-0-24-3 while leg-spinner Amelia Kerr bagged 2/18 to fuel Mumbai’s yet another impressive win in front of a partisan crowd.

Also producing an all-round show for Mumbai was Nat Sciver-Brunt, who returned 4-0-21-3 after scoring a vital 36 off 31 balls studded with five fours and a six.

While each of Mumbai’s overseas bowlers were among wickets, India’s uncapped Saika Ishaque remained wicketless in her 4-0-20-0.

Mumbai Indians looked steady but not sure of a strong total at the halfway mark in their innings after being asked to bat first, having scored 64 for one in 10 overs.

However, captain Harmanpreet Kaur smashed a 30-ball 51 laced with seven fours and two sixes, her blitz powering Mumbai Indians to a challenging 162/8.

Yastika Bhatia (44) and Sciver-Brunt did well to consolidate, adding 74 for the second wicket.

Hayley Matthews smashed 47 off 31 balls before the Indian captain took over. In the company of Amelia Kerr (45 off 24 balls), Harmanpreet scored runs at a brisk pace to set their opponents a stiff target.
