दुबई : टीम इंडियाचा माजी सलामीवीर फलंदाज गौतम गंभीरने चेन्नई सुपरकिंग्जचा कर्णधार महेंद्रसिंह धोनीला फटकारलं आहे. राजस्थान रॉयल्सविरुद्ध चेन्नई २१७ धावांच्या आव्हानाचा पाठलाग करत असताना सातव्या क्रमांकावर खेळण्यासाठी आल्याने गंभीरने धोनीला टोला लगावला. त्याने किमान समोरुन लढायला हवं होतं. सातव्या क्रमांकावर येणं म्हणजे समोरुन लढणं होत नाही, असं गंभीर म्हणाला. राजस्थानविरुद्ध चेन्नईचा १६ धावांनी पराभव झाल्यानंतर गंभीरने हे वक्तव्य केलं. चेन्नईची अवस्था ११४ बाद ५ अशी झालेली असताना धोनी १४ व्या षटकात फलंदाजीसाठी उतरला. चेन्नईला विजयासाठी अजूनही १०३ धावांची आवश्यकता होती. धोनीने लवकर उतरायला हवं होतं, असं अनेक जाणकारांचंही म्हणणं आहे. पण धोनीने अगोदर ऋतुराज गायकवाड आणि सॅम करन यांना पाठवल्याने तो टीकेचा धनी झाला. गंभीर ESPNCricinfo शी बोलताना म्हणाला, 'खरं सांगायचं तर मला आश्चर्य वाटलं. धोनी सातव्या क्रमांकावर आला? आणि गायकवाडला, सॅम करनला स्वतःच्या अगोदर पाठवलं. याला काहीही अर्थ नाही. किमान तू समोरुन लढायला हवं होतंस. याला समोरुन लढणं म्हणत नाहीत. २१७ धावांचा पाठलाग करत असताना सातव्या क्रमांकावर फलंदाजी? खेळ संपलेला होता. फफ डू प्लेसिसने एकाकी झुंज दिली,' 'रैनाची कमी भासत नाही हे दाखवून देण्याचा प्रयत्न' 'तुम्ही धोनीच्या अखेरच्या षटकाबद्दल बोलू शकता, जिथे त्याने तीन षटकार लगावले. पण खरं सांगायचं तर त्याचा काहीही उपयोग नव्हता. एखाद्या दुसऱ्या कर्णधाराने हे केलं असतं आणि अशा परिस्थितीत तो सातव्या क्रमांकावर आला असता तर त्याच्यावर टीकेचा भडीमार झाला असता. पण हा धोनी आहे म्हणून यावर कोणी बोलत नाही. तुमच्याकडे सुरेश रैना नाही तेव्हा तुम्ही आमच्याकडे सॅम करन आहे हे दाखवून देण्याचा प्रयत्न करत आहात. तुम्हाला लोकांना दाखवून देत आहात की, ऋतुराज गायकवाड, करन, केदार जाधव, फफ डू प्लेसिस, मुरली विजय हे सर्व त्याच्यापेक्षा चांगले आहेत', असंही गंभीर म्हणाला. दरम्यान, धोनी सुरुवातीला आल्यानंतर तो अत्यंत संथ गतीने खेळत असल्याचं दिसून आलं. त्याच्या १२ चेंडूत केवळ ९ धावा होत्या. अखेरच्या षटकात चेन्नईला विजयासाठी ३८ धावांची आवश्यकता होती. याच षटकात धोनीने तीन षटकारांच्या मदतीने २० धावा काढल्या. 'तुम्ही सुरुवातीलाच बाद झालात तर त्यात चूक काहीच नाही. किमान समोरुन लढायला हवं, संघालाही प्रेरणा द्यायला हवी. अखेरच्या षटकातच का खेळला? हेच चौथ्या किंवा पाचव्या क्रमांकावर येऊन शक्य झालं असतं. फफ सोबत मिळून धोनीने सामना जिंकलाही असता. पण तसा काहीही हेतू दिसत नव्हता', असं गंभीर म्हणाला.

'Lots need to be done in reforming farm sector'
Dr Ashok Gulati is India's most acclaimed agriculture economist and has been Chairman of Commission for Agriculture Cost and Prices. He talks about the big bang 1991 reforms and how Investments didn’t come overnight in 1991 but the delicensing of industry changed the rules of the game. There was a Bombay Club which said Dr Manmohan Singh will de-industrialise the country and we cannot compete with the rest of the world. It took 10 years for the confidence to develop along with other policies. The government plans to create 10,000 farmer producer organisations and has announced an agriculture infrastructure fund for Rs 1 lakh crore. Government has to incentivise infrastructure and invite the private sector for public private partnerships.

दुबई: आयपीएलच्या १३व्या हंगामातील दुसरी लढत आज (रविवारी) () यांच्यात होणार आहे. या दोन्ही संघांना आतापर्यंत एकदाही आयपीएलचे विजेतेपद मिळवले नाही. त्यामुळे दोन्ही संघ यावर्षी सर्वोत्तम कामगिरी करण्याचा प्रयत्न करतील. स्पर्धेत आतापर्यंत या दोन्ही संघांमध्ये २४ लढती झाल्या आहेत. त्यापैकी १४ सामन्यात पंजाबने तर १० सामन्यात दिल्लीने विजय मिळवला आहे. या वर्षी पंजाबचे नेतृत्व केएल राहुल करणार आहे. तर दिल्लीचे नेतृत्व श्रेयस अय्यरकडे असणार आहे. दोन्ही नवे कर्णधार आहेत आणि या वर्षी काय प्रयोग करतात याकडे सर्वांचे लक्ष असेल. वाचा- गेल्या वर्षी दिल्ली संघ प्लेऑफमध्ये पोहोचलला होता. पंजाब संघाने गेल्या तीन हंगामात पहिल्या सामन्यात विजय मिळवला आहे. हीच कामगिरी पुन्हा एकदा करण्यास ते उत्सुक असतील. दिल्ली संघाकडे फिरकीपटूंची फौज आहे. हे फिरकीपटू पंजाब संघाला अडचणी आणू शकतात. आर.अश्विन, अमित मिश्रा, अक्षर पटेल हे अनुभवी फिरकीपटू आहेत. हे तिन्ही गोलंदाज पंजाबची डोकेदुखी ठरू शकतात. वाचा- या सामन्यात आणखी एक लढत पाहायला मिळणार आहे. ती म्हणजे कर्णधार केएल राहुल आणि श्रेयस अय्यर यांच्यातील लढत होय. या दोघांकडे भविष्यातील भारतीय क्रिकेट संघाचे कर्णधार म्हणून पाहिले जात आहे. फक्त कर्णधार नाही तर दोन्ही संघांचे कोच देखील या वर्षी चर्चेत आहेत. पंजाबला अनिल कुंबळेचे तर दिल्लीला रिकी पॉटिंगचे मार्गदर्शन असणार आहे. दोन्ही संघात मोठे शॉट खेळणारे खेळाडू आहेत. पण युएईमधील धीम्या खेळपट्टीवर अश्विन, मिश्रा आणि अक्षर ही जोडी पंजाबवर नियंत्रण ठेवू शकते. दिल्ली संघात पृथ्वी शॉ, अय्यर, ऋषभ पंत, शिखर धवन, शिमरोन हेटमायर असे आक्रमक फलंदाज आहेत. त्यामुळे कदाचित भारतीय कसोटी संघाचा उपकर्णधार अजिंक्य रहाणेला संधी मिळण्याची शक्यता नाही. त्याचा स्ट्राइक रेट १२० पेक्षा कमी आहे. दिल्लीच्या गोलंदाजांमध्ये कासिसो रबाडा, इशांत शर्मा आणि डॅनिअल सॅम्स सारखे खेळाडू आहेत. वाचा- पंजाबचा विचार केला तर सर्वाधिक षटकार मारणारा ख्रिस गेल आणि ग्लेन मॅक्सवेल सारखे धडाकेबाज फलंदाज आहेत. त्यांच्या सोबतीला केएल राहुल सारखा फलंदाज आहे. मॅक्सवेलने नुकतीच इंग्लंडविरुद्ध तिसऱ्या वनडेत १०८ धावांची विजयी खेळी केली होती. त्यामुळे त्याचा आत्मविश्वास नक्कीच वाढला असेल. २०१४साली युएईमध्ये झालेल्या स्पर्धेत मॅक्सवेलने १६ सामन्यात ५५२ धावा केल्या होत्या. गेल आणि राहुल नंतर मयंक अग्रवाल देखील भरवश्याचा फलंदाज आहे. गोलंदाजीच भारताचा अनुभवी मोहम्मद शमी पंजाबची मोठी ताकद ठरू शकतो तर फिरकीची जबाबदारी अफगाणिस्तानचा मुजीन जदरानवर असेल. सामन्याची वेळ- भारतीय वेळेनुसार संध्याकाळी ७.३० वाजता कुठे पाहाल- स्टार नेटवर्क ऑनलाइन स्ट्रीमिंग (Live Streaming of Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab match)हॉटस्टार

१४ महिन्यांनी धोनी क्रिकेट खेळणार; पहिल्या सामन्यात विक्रम मोडण्याची संधी
नवी दिल्ली: आयपीएलच्या १३व्या हंगामाला फक्त काही तास शिल्लक आहेत. स्पर्धेतील पहिली लढत चार वेळा विजेत मुंबई इंडियन्स विरुद्ध तीन वेळा विजेते ठरलेले चेन्नई सुपर किंग्ज यांच्यात होणार आहे. गेल्या वर्षी फायनल सामन्यात मुंबईने चेन्नईचा एक धावाने पराभव केला होता. या सामन्यात सर्वांची नजर असेल तर भारताचा माजी कर्णधार याच्या कामगिरीवर. धोनी तब्बल १४ महिन्यांनी क्रिकेट खेळणार आहे. त्याने अखेरचा सामना २०१९च्या वर्ल्ड कप स्पर्धेत न्यूझीलंडविरुद्ध खेळला होता. त्यानंतर गेल्याच महिन्यात त्याने आंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेटमधून निवृत्ती घेतली. वाचा- IPLमधील सर्वात यशस्वी कर्णधार महेंद्र सिंह धोनी (M S Dhoni) आहे. धोनीने १७४ सामन्यापैकी १०४ मध्ये विजय मिळवला आहे. त्याची विजयाची टक्केवारी ५९.८ टक्के इतकी आहे. आता १४ महिन्यांनी क्रिकेट खेळणाऱ्या धोनीला पहिल्याच सामन्यात एक विक्रम करण्याची संधी आहे. धोनीला रॉयल चॅलेंजर्स बेंगळूरू संघाचा धडाकेबाज फलंदाज एबी डिव्हिलियर्स याचा विक्रम मागे टाकण्याची संधी आहे. वाचा- आयपीएलमध्ये सर्वाधिक षटकार मारणाऱ्या यादीत धोनी तिसऱ्या क्रमांकावर आहे. धोनीने २०९ षटकार मारले आहेत. तर एबीच्या नावावर २१२ षटकार आहेत. जर मुंबई विरुद्धच्या सामन्यात धोनीने चार षटकार मारले तर तो एबीला मागे टाकू शकेल. आयपीएलच्या इतिहासात सर्वाधिक षटकार मारण्याचा विक्रम किंग्ज इलेव्हन पंजाबच्या ख्रिस गेलच्या नावावर आहे. गेलने आतापर्यंत ३२६ षटकार मारले आहेत. त्याचा हा विक्रम मोडणे कोणत्याही फलंदाजासाठी अवघड असेल. धोनीच्या नावावर आयपीएलमधील सर्वाधिक विजयाचा विक्रम देखील आहे. कर्णधार म्हणून त्याने १०४ सामन्यात विजय मिळवला आहे. तर १००पेक्षा अधिक सामने जिंकणारा ते एकमेव कर्णधार आहे. विकेटकिपर म्हणून त्याने १३२ विकेट घेतल्या आहेत. आयपीएलमध्ये हा एक विक्रम आहे. तर स्टपिंगमध्ये देखील धोनी आघाडीवर आहे. त्याने ३८ वेळा स्टंप केले आहे.

IPLचा धमाका आजपासून; मुंबई विरुद्ध चेन्नई, हे आहेत विजयाचे फॅक्टर
अबु धाबी: करोना व्हायरसविरुद्ध संपूर्ण जग लढत आहे. अशा महासंकट काळात क्रिकेट चाहत्यांच्या चेहऱ्यावर आनंद देणारी आयपीएल स्पर्धा आजपासून सुरू होत आहे. या स्पर्धेत पुन्हा एकदा दिग्गज महेंद्र सिंह धोनी, विराट कोहली आणि रोहित शर्मा हे कर्णधार जेतेपदासाठी मैदानात उतरतील. सर्वांची नजर असेल तरी रोहित शर्माच्या आणि महेंद्र सिंह धोनीच्या यांच्या पहिल्या लढतीवर. भारतात सातत्याने करोना रुग्णांची संख्या वाढत असल्यामुळे ही स्पर्धा युएईमध्ये खेळवली जात आहे. IPLच्या इतिहासात प्रथम प्रेक्षकांशिवाय संपूर्ण स्पर्धा होणार आहे. या काळात चित्रपट आणि क्रिकेट चाहत्यांसाठी आयपीएल खास अशी ठरणार आहे. वाचा- सर्व जण सोशल डिस्टसिंग आणि आरोग्याशी संबंधित नियमांचे पालन करत आहेत अशात पुढील ५३ दिवस जैव सुरक्षित वातावरणात धोनीची चेन्नई, कोहलीची बेंगळुरू रोहितीच मुंबई, केएल राहुलची पंजाब आणि श्रेयस अय्यरची दिल्लीसह आठ संघ आयपीएलचे सामने खेळतील. वाचा- याआधी देखील आयपीएलचे सामने विदेशमध्ये झाले आहेत. पण काही कोटी डॉलरची ही स्पर्धा प्रथमच पूर्णपणे विदेशात होत आहे. या वर्षी ख्रिस गेल आणि डेव्हिड वॉर्नर सारख्या आक्रमक फलंदाजांच्या षटाकरांना टाळ्या वाजवण्यासाठी प्रेक्षक मात्र नसतील. पण असे असले तरी यावर कोणाची तक्रार नाही. किमान सामना खेळता येईल आणि पाहता येईल हीच दोघांची भावना आहे. वाचा- कागदावरील रिपोर्टपाहता मुंबईचा संघ सर्वात मजूबत दिसत आहे. रोहित सोबत हार्दिक, क्रुणाल पांड्या, पोलार्ड आणि डेथ ओव्हरचा बादशाह जसप्रीत बुमराह त्याच्याकडे आहे. याउलट चेन्नईचा संघ हा भलेही म्हाताऱ्यांची फैज वाटत असला तरी त्यांनी मिळवलेले यश नजआड करता येणार नाही. शेन वॉट्सन, ड्वेन ब्रावो, फाफ डु प्लेसिस आणि जडेजा सारखे खेळाडू त्यांच्याकडे आहेत. सोबत कॅप्टन कुल धोनीची साथ आहेच. पण या वर्षी चेन्नईकडून सुरेश रैना, हरभजन सिंग हे दोन खेळाडू नाहीत. तर पहिल्या सामन्यासाठी रैनाच्या ऐवजी ऋतुराज गायकवाड देखील करोना पॉझिटिव्ह असल्यामुळे उपलब्ध नसेल. वाचा- चेन्नईचा संघ आयपीएलमधील सर्वात अनुभवी खेळाडू आहे. या संघातील खेळाडूंनी एकूम ३ हजार ८४० टी-२० सामने खेळेल आहेत. पण यातील अनेक खेळाडूंनी केल्या काही महिन्यांपासून क्रिकेट खेळले नाही. खुद्द धोनी एका वर्षानंतर मैदानात उतरतोय. संघातील सात खेळाडूंनी २०२० मध्ये एकही सामना खेळला नाही. याआधी २०१४मध्ये युएईत IPLचे काही सामने झाले होते. तेव्हा चेन्नईने ५ पैकी ४ सामने जिंकले होते. तर मुंबईला पाच पैकी एकही सामना जिंकता आला नव्हता. मुंबईचा संघ विक्रमी पाचवे विजेतेपद मिळवण्यासाठी मैदानात उतरेल तर चेन्नईचा संघ मुंबईच्या विक्रमाशी बरोबरी करण्याचा प्रयत्न करेल. आयपीएलच्या इतिहासात चेन्नई संघाने नेहमी प्लेऑफमध्ये प्रवेश केला. ते या स्पर्धेचे पाच वेळा उपविजेते ठरले आहेत. २०१६ आणि १७ या दोन वर्षांसाठी त्यांच्यावर बंदी घातली होती. त्यानंतर २०१८ साली शानदार कामगिरी करत विजेतेपद मिळवले. वाचा- दोन्ही संघात आतापर्यंत २८ सामने झाले आहेत. त्यापैकी चेन्नई संघाने ११ तर मुंबई संघाने १७ सामने जिंकले आहेत. त्यामुळे चेन्नईवर दबाव अधिक असेल. असा असेल संभाव्य संघ- मुंबई इंडियन्स- रोहित शर्मा (कर्णधार), क्विंटन डिकॉक(विकेटकिपर), इशान किशन, सुर्यकुमार यादव, हार्दिक पांड्या, किरॉन पोलार्ड, क्रुणाल पांड्या, नाथन कुल्टर नाइल राहुल चाहर, जसप्रित बुमराह आणि ट्रेंट बोल्ट चेन्नई सुपर किंग्ज- महेंद्र सिंह धोनी (कर्णधार आणि विकेटकिपर), शेन वॉट्सन, अंबाती रायडू, फाफ डुप्लिसिस, केदार जाधव, रविंद्र जडेजा, ड्वेन ब्रावो, शार्दुल ठाकूर, पीयुष चावला, दीपक चाहर आणि इमरान ताहिर.

जडेजाला UAE मध्ये मिळाली तलवार; अन्य खेळाडूंचा झाला सन्मान, पाहा व्हिडिओ
दुबई: () चेन्नई सुपर किंग्जकडून यावर्षी सुरेश रैना नसल्याने रविंद्र जडेजावर मोठी जबाबदारी असणार आहे. संघाला त्याच्याकडून चांगल्या कामगिरीची अपेक्षा असणार आहे. आयपीएलमधील चेन्नईच्या पहिल्या सामन्याला दोन दिवसांचा कालावधी शिल्लक असताना संघाने जडेजाचा तलवार देऊन सन्मान केला आहे. वाचा- जडेजाने या सन्मानाचा व्हिडिओ सोशल मीडियावर शेअर केला आहे. त्याने चेन्नई संघासाठी दिलेल्या योगदानासाठी हा पुरस्कार देण्यात आला आहे. चेन्नईचा कर्णधार धोनीच्या हस्ते जडेजाला हा पुरस्कार दिला गेला. वाचा- जडेजाने आयपीएलमध्ये १००हून अधिक विकेट घेतल्या आहेत. तर १ हजार ९०० धावा केल्या आहेत. अशी कामगिरी करणारा तो एकमेव खेळाडू आहे. जडेजाने २०१९ मध्ये १५ विकेट घेतल्या होत्या आणि त्याची सरासरी फक्त ६.३५ इतकी होती. चेन्नईने फक्त जडेजा नाही तर २०१९च्या आयपीएलमध्ये ज्यांनी शानदार कामगिरी केली त्यांचा देखील सन्मान करण्यात आला. वाचा- कर्णधार धोनीला नेतृत्व आणि सर्वाधिक धावा केल्याबद्दल पुरस्कार देण्यात आला. त्याने २०१९ साली ८३.२०च्या सरासरीने ४१५ धावा केल्या होत्या. धोनीने २३ षटकार आणि २२ चौकार मारले होते. शेन वॉट्सनला मुंबई विरुद्ध झालेल्या अंतिम सामन्यात खेळलेल्या शानदार खेळीसाठी पुरस्कार देण्यात आला. पायातून रक्त येत असताना देखील वॉट्सन मैदानावर चेन्नईच्या विजयासाठी खेळत होता. या शिवाय फलंदाजीचे कोच मायकल हसी यांचा सन्मान केला. तर प्रथमच संघात स्थान मिळवलेला सत्य साई किशोर याला जर्सी भेट देण्यात आली. टी-२० क्रिकेटमध्ये ५०० विकेट घेणारा पहिला गोलंदाज ड्वेन ब्रावोला एक विशेष पुरस्कार दिला गेला. तो हॉटलमधील रुममधून कार्यक्रमात सहभागी झाला होता. २०१९मध्ये चेन्नईकडून सर्वाधिक २६ विकेट घेणाऱ्या इमरान ताहिलला ट्रॉफी देण्यात आली. तो देखील क्वारंटाइनमध्ये आहे.

चित्रपटातून टीम इंडियात पदार्पण; आता मुंबई इंडियन्सकडून IPL गाजवणार
मुंबई: बहुप्रतिक्षित () चा १३वा हंगाम उद्यापासून सुरू होत आहे. स्पर्धेतील पहिला सामना () विरुद्ध चेन्नई सुपर किंग्ज यांच्यात होणार आहे. गतविजेते आणि सर्वाधिक फॅन फॉलोअर्स असलेल्या मुंबईच्या संघाच्या कामगिरीकडे सर्वांचे लक्ष असणार आहे. तर धोनीने आंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेटमधून निवृत्ती घेतल्यानंतर मैदानावर खेळताना दिसणार आहे. त्यामुळे पहिल्या सामन्याकडे सर्वांचे लक्ष असेल. मुंबईच्या संघाकडून यावर्षी एक मोठे सरप्राइझ आहे. या संघाकडून असा एक क्रिकेटपटू खेळणार आहे. ज्याने क्रिकेटमध्ये पदार्पण चित्रपटातून केले आहे. वाचा- क्रिकेटपटूचे पदार्पण एखाद्या संघाकडून खेळून केली जाते आणि मग त्याची ओळख निर्माण होते. पण मुंबई इंडियन्स संघातील या खेळाडूचे क्रिकेटमधील पदार्पण अथवा ओळख निर्माण झाली ती एका बॉलिवडू चित्रटानने. दिग्विजयने सुशांत सिंह रजपूत (Sushant Singh Rajput) च्या २०१३ साली प्रदर्शित झालेल्या 'काय पो छे' () चित्रपटात काम केले होते. या चित्रपटात अलीची भूमिका दिग्विजयने केली होती. चित्रपटात सुशांतने त्याला क्रिकेटचे प्रशिक्षण दिल्याचे दाखवले होते. वाचा- दिग्विजय एक जलद गोलंदाज आहे आणि महाराष्ट्राकडून खेळतो. आयपीएल २०२० च्या लिलावात मुंबई इंडियन्स संघाने २० लाख रुपयांची बोली लावून दिग्विजयला () करारबद्ध केले होते. दिग्विजय देशमुखने २०१९च्या रणजी ट्रॉपी स्पर्धेतून प्रथम श्रेणी क्रिकेटमध्ये पदार्पण केले होते. तर १२ नोव्हेंबर २०१९ मध्ये मुश्ताक अली ट्रॉफीतून टी-२० पदार्पण केले. दिग्विजयने आतापर्यंत ७ टी-२० सामन्यातून १९ धावा आणि ९ विकेट घेतल्या आहेत. तर एका प्रथम श्रेणी सामन्यात ८५ धावा आणि सहा विकेट घेतल्या आहेत. डिसेंबरमध्ये त्याने रणजी सामन्यात पदार्पण केले होते. पहिल्या सामन्यात त्याने ७१ चेंडूत ८३ धावा केल्या होत्या. वाचा- वाचा- दिग्विजयला या गोष्टीचे दु:ख सुशांतच्या निधनावर दिग्विजय म्हणाला, सुशांतच्या निधनाचे फार दु:ख वाटते. ही खंत नेहमी वाटत राहिली की माझी आणि त्यांची भेट झाली नाही. आयपीएलमध्ये मुंबई संघात माझी निवड झाल्यानंतर विचार केला होता की स्पर्धा सुरू झाल्यानंतर मी सुशांत भाईला भेटेन आणि क्रिकेटपटू झाल्याची बातमी सांगेन. 'काय पो छे' चित्रपटाच्या वेळी सुशांत भाईने मला विचारले होते की, तु मोठा झाल्यावर कोण होणार आहेस. यावर मी क्रिकेटपटू होणार असल्याचे उत्तर दिले होते. मी त्यावेळी त्यांना सांगितले होते की, जेव्हा क्रिकेटपटू होईन तेव्हा तुम्हाला नक्की भेटेन. पण मी आता त्यांना कधीच भेटू शकणार नाही. याचे दु:ख नेहमीच राहील.
