Ruturaj Gaikwad and Robin Uthappa’s century stand laid the base for CSK, rendering fifties from Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant in vain

Manjrekar: Dhoni reminded everyone why he’s an all-time great in white-ball cricket
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Robin Uthappa put on 110 for the second wicket and MS Dhoni rolled back the clock with a finishing act as Chennai Super Kings qualified for their ninth IPL final, beating league-stage toppers Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 1.Watch the IPL on ESPN+

After the second-wicket stand had laid the platform for Super Kings in a chase of 173, the middle order stuttered before Dhoni came in with Super Kings needing 23 off 11. He played his first ball with them needing 19 off 9, and missed it. The next ball from Avesh Khan was clobbered over the midwicket boundary, and Dhoni then had strike against Tom Curran with 13 to get off 5.Curran was Capitals’ most successful bowler of the night at that point, but boundaries from Dhoni – even if one was an inside edge – off the next two balls put the pressure squarely on him; that resulted in a wide, and eventually the half-tracker slower ball that Dhoni swung to the leg-side boundary to seal the win with two balls to spare.Uthappa brings out the classics, Gaikwad takes it deepUthappa’s promotion to No. 3, the position from which he has scored many IPL runs, turned out to be a crucial decision for Super Kings. He walked in during the first over, with nearly the entire powerplay at his disposal, and made the best of his favourite phase of the innings. It was a typical Uthappa knock, studded with elegant drives on the rise, deflections behind the wicket, and dominant punches over the infield. With Gaikwad going about it in his usual languid manner to begin, Uthappa made sure Super Kings scored at a healthy rate. Five of his seven boundaries and two of his three sixes came in the powerplay, with two of each coming in a 20-run Avesh Khan over to end the powerplay.Rishabh Pant turned to R Ashwin in the middle overs and for a brief period, he played a part as the Capitals stopped the flow of the second-wicket partnership; at least twice from Ashwin, that meant a literal stop, when he pulled out of his delivery stride to Gaikwad’s annoyance. But, in his second over, Uthappa reverse swept Ashwin and then hit him over his head next ball to put an end to his night.Gaikwad then began reaping the rewards of his method: his acceleration came, as it often does, in the second half of the innings. His 50-ball 70, with typically well-placed boundaries, and a lot of smart running, took Super Kings all the way into the 19th over even as their middle-order shuffles – Shardul Thakur at four, Ambati Rayudu ahead of Moeen Ali at five – had begun failing.Iyer’s spark in the field brings Capitals backCurran came in as a replacement for specialist batter Ripal Patel, and bowled two economical overs to check Super Kings’ scoring rate. In his third over, the 14th of the innings, he had Uthappa skying one to long-on’s right. Shreyas Iyer sprinted towards it, managed to keep his composure despite Axar Patel running across him from deep midwicket, caught it, lobbed the ball up, stepped over the rope and returned to the field to complete the catch. That over ended with Thakur finding Iyer at long-on for a second-ball duck.Super Kings were still favourites at this point, needing 56 off six overs, but Iyer was there again to turn the match Capitals’ way. A mistimed Gaikwad pull to his right at long-on offered the chance of a second run for Super Kings, but Iyer’s sprint to the ball and then a rapid throw – while he was nearly off balance – to the non-striker’s end meant Rayudu’s call had quickly begun to look precarious. The bowler, Kagiso Rabada, wasn’t in the best position running back to the stumps, but managed to grab the one-bounce stinger from Iyer and relay it onto the stumps to catch Rayudu short. With the required rate climbing, and only one boundary coming off each of the next two overs, Iyer’s fielding exploits nearly turned into defining moments for Capitals. But then came Dhoni…Shaw, Pant, Hetmyer do the heavy liftingDhoni had said at the toss that his team had been finding the ball to be stopping and the pitches to be two-paced when they bowled first. That seemed to be the case here again as Prithvi Shaw began his innings with three streaky boundaries – one a top edge for six – behind the wicket. After the third one, it seemed he had figured the pitch out though, punching Deepak Chahar elegantly on the rise through point in the third over. He closed off that over – worth 18 runs -with a flick past short fine and a vicious cut to beat deep point.That was followed by two sixes off a Shardul Thakur over, in which he was also dropped by Dhoni, diving one-handed to the right trying to get to a late dab. Josh Hazlewood kept plucking away at the batters at the other end, first getting Shikhar Dhawan and then Shreyas Iyer, but Shaw kept the attack going even when spin came on. He cut Ravindra Jadeja to get to fifty and then swept him against the turn – at the end of that over, the ninth, he had made 57 of Capitals’ 74 runs. Eventually, he fell looking to go with the turn against Jadeja, chipping straight to long-off the over after a promoted Axar Patel had fallen. Capitals were four-down just past the halfway stage, but had a lot to thank him for – his 60 off 34 had ensured they weren’t behind the rate.That allowed Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer – the Capitals’ last specialist batting pair – to play risk-free cricket as they tried to stretch the innings as deep as possible. Their 83-run stand for the fifth wicket came off 50 balls and gave Capitals a bigger total than had seemed possible after Shaw’s departure.
Philippe Clement is a man under pressure in the Glasgow Rangers hotseat. Across 14 competitive matches this season, the Light Blues have won only eight times, hardly the form of a team fighting for trophies on all fronts.
Against Kilmarnock recently, the starting XI looked afraid to push into the opponent’s final third, with Killie registering a higher xG stat from open play than the Gers during the contest, a damning indictment of how poor the team has become under Clement of late.
During the transfer window, the Belgian knew he had to get things spot on, otherwise, it would likely be another one-horse race in the Premiership. While several signings have settled in well and shown that they might be a key part of the future, the majority have struggled.
Rangers' summer 2024 transfer business
The main priority for Clement after the 2023/24 season ended was bringing the wage bill down significantly. The likes of Borna Barisic, John Lundstram, Kemar Roofe and Ryan Jack all departed when their contracts expired, saving the club around £77k-per-week in the process.
Where Are They Now
Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast's Where Are They Now series.
Combine this with the fact the club also moved on Connor Goldson and Sam Lammers, who earned £55k-per-week between them, and it was evident the wage bill had been reduced effectively, freeing up funds for Clement to bring in his own players.
Establishing a player trading model appeared to be his main focus, signing Connor Barron, Clinton Nsiala, Jefte, Oscar Cortes and Hamza Igamane, who were all aged 22 or under upon arriving at Ibrox.

Jefte and Barron have featured 14 and 11 times respectively for the first team this season, while the jury is still out on Cortes and Igamane. Time will be given to those who don’t have much experience, but can the same be said for those who have arrived with plenty to prove?
Robin Propper was expected to be the heir apparent to Goldson, but he hasn’t exactly hit the ground running so far. Nedim Bajrami has shown plenty of promise, although he has been forced to play on the left wing rather than through the middle due to injury issues.
Vaclav Cerny was a signing who, on the surface, looked like having all the hallmarks of being an excellent one. A winger who is entering his prime years and scored four times in the Bundesliga last season.
The reality, however, has been very different.
Vaclav Cerny’s season in numbers
Registering three goals and two assists in 13 games since joining the Ibrox side hints at a positive start, but more often than not, the Czech gem has played poorly.
His struggles have been apparent in Europe especially. In the first two Europa League fixtures, Cerny has missed two big chances, succeeded with just 0.5 dribbles per game and created zero big chances. These are the matches where Clement expects big things from the former Ajax gem.
His two-goal salvo against St Johnstone before the international break skews things slightly with regard to his domestic statistics, but it is clear the winger needs to improve massively.
Over the previous few years, the Gers have struggled to find effective widemen capable of contributing goals and assists, while also creating plenty of chances.
They released someone in 2012 who is now starring across the pond and would make a big difference to the current first team – Lewis Morgan.
The Rangers star who left for nothing
The current New York Red Bulls star joined the Rangers academy back in 2004 when he was aged just eight, going on to spend the next eight years at Auchenhowie before being released in 2012.
Not to be deterred by his release from the Ibrox side, Morgan soon joined St Mirren and went on to make 118 appearances for the Buddies over the next six years, scoring 29 goals while registering 23 assists for the club.
It didn’t take long for his form to get noticed, as Celtic lured him back to Glasgow in 2018, but his spell at Parkhead was hardly wonderful, scoring only twice in 31 games for the club.
A move to the MLS in 2020 has proven to be the catalyst for him to kickstart his career, first shining for Inter Miami before joining New York Red Bulls in 2021.
Lewis Morgan’s season statistics
Hailed as “dynamic” by his former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, the Scot has exuded this quality for his club side during the 2024 MLS campaign.
Across 31 matches in all competitions, Morgan has registered 20 goal contributions – 13 goals and seven assists – while also creating 13 big chances, averaging 1.7 key passes per game and succeeding with one dribble each match.
Compare this to Cerny, who has scored only eight goals since the start of the 2023/24 campaign, chipping in with just three assists, suggesting Morgan would have been a far more effective threat out wide than the Czech winger.
When compared to his positional peers, Morgan ranks in the top 5% for shot-creating actions, progressive carries and progressive passes over the previous 365 days. Cerny, in comparison, doesn’t even rank in the top 50% for these metrics when compared to players in similar leagues over the same timeframe.
This is yet more evidence of how much better Morgan is at the moment over the current Rangers loanee.
Still ‘only’ 28, Morgan’s market value could continue to rise following his excellent showings this season. Indeed, according to Transfermarkt, the forward is currently valued at €5m (£4m).
Of course, the Light Blues didn’t know back in 2012 how good a player Morgan was going to be, releasing him due to his physical stature. After years of developing in Scotland, he took the plunge and moved to America.
Lewis Morgan
This has not only revitalised his career, but also seen the player establish himself as a more permanent fixture in the Scottish national team setup, playing five times under Steve Clarke.
If Clement was able to call on him rather than Cerny, then perhaps the Gers might have scored a few more goals. For that there is no doubt.
Rangers had a starlet who was like "Wayne Rooney", then he left for £0

Em entrevista na saída de campo, o meia-atacante, que foi eleito o melhor do jogo pela transmissão, destacou a importância desses duelos de início de campeonato pensando em ganhar confiança para o restante da temporada. Além disso, ele comentou a absorção das ideias de Abel Ferreira pelos atletas.
-A gente entendeu o que o Abel quer da gente nesse esquema, eu acho que é extremamente importante a gente manter o foco e não se acomodar, a gente sabe que os primeiros jogos de campeonato são bem difíceis, mas é muito importante para a gente pegar confiança para ir para o nosso principal objetivo, que é o Mundial – argumentou o camisa 14 do Verdão.
Sem mais tempo para a pré-temporada e a menos de duas semanas para a estreia no Mundial de Clubes, Abel Ferreira tem utilizado essas partidas do Paulistão para ajustar mais um pouco a equipe que vai jogar em Abu Dhabi, nos Emirados Árabes Unidos. Apesar da maratona, Scarpa crê que isso vai ajudar na preparação do elenco, que “vai com tudo” para a disputa do torneio.
– Eu tenho achado importante a gente começar jogando para pegar ritmo de jogo antes do Mundial, a gente sabe que vai ser muito difícil esse torneio, mas é um sonho nosso e quando a gente sonha e vai com dedicação, a gente tem grandes chances de realizar. Sabemos da dificuldade, mas vamos com tudo.
O Palmeiras volta a campo no próximo sábado, às 16h, contra o São Bernardo, fora de casa, pela segunda rodada da competição. Será o penúltimo duelo do Verdão antes de embarcar para o Oriente Médio. Atualmente, o Alviverde é o primeiro colocado do Grupo C do Campeonato Paulista com seis pontos.
Everton have produced some fantastic footballers over the years and the Toffees have an incredibly underrated academy. Of course, Wayne Rooney is the standout player; he played 117 games for the club across two spells, sandwiched between a legendary career at Manchester United.
There are other notable academy graduates to come out of Goodison Park, too. Leon Osman spent his entire career at the club, aside from a brief loan spell at Derby County, and racked up 433 games. The likes of Richard Dunne and David Unsworth also played for the Toffees after graduating from the academy.
However, there is one other player who did not quite live up to the hype, and Toffees fans might well be disappointed with how his career ended up. That man is Ross Barkley.
Barkley’s Everton career
Born and bred on Merseyside, England international Barkley might well forever be a ‘what could’ve been’ player at Goodison Park. When he was at the club, he impressed but was inconsistent, and left in January 2018 for Stamford Bridge, joining Chelsea for £15m.
In total, the midfielder played 179 games for his boyhood club. Barkley managed 27 goals and 25 assists in that time, playing mainly as an attacking midfielder, with the ability to play deeper or even out wide.
His finest campaign in that famous Blue shirt was in 2015/16. The England international played all 38 games in the Premier League, scoring eight goals and assisting eight goals. One of his finest moments in that season was scoring two goals and assisting one in a 4-0 thrashing over Aston Villa at Goodison Park.
Sadly, the midfielder never actually played for the Toffees in the 2017/18 season. An injury kept him out until January before he made the move to West London. His final game for his boyhood club was a 3-1 defeat against Arsenal.
An article from The Athletic explained that Everton fans “wanted Barkley to succeed and become a legend” at the club. Sadly, it did not work out like that, and his departure in 2018 was a disappointing end to something that could have been so great.
In recent years there may be another player who fits into the same category as Barkley, who has now departed Goodison Park despite such a promising early career.
Everton's next Barkley never lived up to expectations
The player in question here is academy graduate Tom Davies. The midfielder now plies his trade at Sheffield United, but once had such a promising career ahead of him for his boyhood club.
Tom Davies
The 26-year-old was once held in high regard by a legend of English football, fellow Scouse midfielder Steven Gerrard. The Liverpool legend might be from the Red side of the city, but he once described him as a “terrific footballer”, and the player to “be excited about at Everton”.
First Impressions
What did pundits and fans alike think about their new star signing when they arrived? Football FanCast's 'First Impressions' series has everything you need.
Sadly, things did not quite go according to plan for the midfielder. He made plenty of appearances for Toffees, 179 to be specific, scoring seven goals and grabbing eight assists in that time. However, a lack of opportunity in the starting lineup, and he struggled to nail down a regular starting spot.

Stats from Transfermarkt
Davies was called “England’s next star” by Ryan Kelly of Goal back in 2017, but he never got selected for the national team whilst at Goodison Park. However, he did play for the Three Lions at age group level, up until the U21s, for whom he played 23 times.
He left his boyhood club to move to Sheffield United in 2023. Incredibly, the Blades paid nothing for him, meaning this once high-rated English talent ended up a free transfer. Sadly, it has not worked out at Bramall Lane, either. The midfielder has managed just nine appearances in 18 months at the club and is yet to feature this season.
Looking back on this, Toffees fans may well be disappointed things did not work out how it was suggested it might between Davies and his boyhood club. Like Barkley, he is another player who football fans might wonder what could have been.

George Bailey said “it gives you great confidence…when you know your opening batters are locked away”
AAP and ESPNcricinfo staff11-Nov-2021
Marcus Harris appears to have locked away the opening position•Getty Images
Marcus Harris will open the batting with David Warner in the first Ashes Test at the Gabba, chairman of selectors George Bailey has confirmed.Harris’ place at the top of the order had presumed to be in doubt, having been in and out of the team for three years.But he is the incumbent after partnering with Warner the last time Australia played Test cricket – the agonising defeat to India at the Gabba in January. Bailey, however, has placed faith in the 29-year-old to nail down his spot.”It gives you great confidence as a selector when you know your opening batters are locked away as far as a Test series go,” Bailey told RSN radio. “It’s a hard spot to bat and to get those places settle, it’s really important.”Harry’s only had a limited opportunity in the past, and he’s been in and out a bit, so we’d love nothing more than for him to hopefully to get an opportunity to get an extended run at it.”What we have liked is his consistency. He’s obviously been a prolific run-scorer at domestic level here, but also love the fact he went overseas and had a great year for Leicester as well.”Related

Harris fell cheaply in both innings of Victoria’s recent Sheffield Shield clash with NSW, but he did score a gritty century against the Blues last month. After 10 Tests, Harris is averaging 23.77 and his top score of 79 came against India at the SCG in 2019.Will Pucovski, who made his Test debut as an opener against India last season, has seen his chances of being part of the Ashes recede after another concussion which means he has yet to play for Victoria this summer.Bailey confirming the opening combination will come as sweet relief to Harris, who had been staring down some blistering form from Queensland veteran Usman Khawaja. But Khawaja could still earn a spot in the middle order for the first Test on December 8, with Bailey saying the No.5 spot “is certainly open” although he added the selectors were close to a decision.South Australia captain Travis Head has been in promising form and could win back the spot he lost after last year’s Boxing Day Test.The Australia selectors are expected to announce next week 25 players who will join up in Queensland to also form an Australia A side, for both an intrasquad warm-up and a match against England Lions. The final Ashes squad may not be confirmed until after the intrasquad fixture which could play a similar role to the one that took place ahead of the 2019 Ashes in England.While only the No. 5 slot would now appear up for debate there will be jostling for positions among back-up quick bowlers. James Pattinson’s international retirement means the tag of first reserve is up for grabs. The uncapped Michael Neser has picked up a hamstring injury in the current Sheffield Shield match although it is hoped it will still be available. Sean Abbott, Jhye Richardson, Mark Steketee and Scott Boland could also be in contention.

He was part of the Test squad for the South Africa tour earlier in the year tour but not included for the Ashes
Andrew McGlashan29-Nov-2021Moises Henriques was left confused by his omission from the entire Ashes build-up having been part of Australia’s previous Test squad, but holds no ill-will towards the national selector George Bailey as he retains hope of adding to his four caps.Henriques, who is preparing to lead Sydney Sixers’ bid for a hat-trick of BBL titles, had been named in the squad for the South Africa tour earlier this year which was postponed due to Covid-19 but could not even find a place among the Australia A players who are now in Brisbane. He is the only player from that South Africa group who was available but not part of the original selection – Will Pucovski (concussion) and James Pattinson (retirement) were also absent.His start to the domestic season with New South Wales had been further delayed following the IPL as he waited to return without having to quarantine meaning he did not play a game before the squad was named.”I have a different view to what the selectors do,” he said. “To be picked on one Test tour and be told that I was there or thereabouts to be playing on that tour and then the next Test tour rolls around and you’re not in the best 25 players. It’s a huge fall, considering I hadn’t played any other four-day games or Shield games in that break.Related

“So I didn’t really understand the logic but it’s not my job to understand the logic either. It’s just my job to go out and keep playing as well as I can. I’m comfortable with it. I didn’t agree with the process of it all and that’s completely fine as well. That happens to a lot of people in a lot of different industries.”I’ve been a beneficiary of it in the past when I’ve also been like, oh, geez, I wasn’t expecting to get picked for this trip. So I’ve had the good and the bad.”The last of Henriques’ four Tests came in 2016 and he has now been overtaken by Nic Maddinson and Matt Renshaw in the current Australia A set-up, while the No. 5 spot in the Test side will be a contest between Travis Head and Usman Khawaja – the latter was not in the South Africa squad – with last season’s average of 70.33 having seemingly lost its weight. He has spoken extensively with Bailey with the pair having a close relationship from playing with and against each other.”I get on with George quite well which adds another layer of complexity into that relationship,” he said. “I think that’s a good sign of a good working relationship with when you can both air what you think, and you don’t necessarily agree, but you both understand that it’s okay, and you’ve got to move forward.”Any conversation I have with him is always a positive one. Even when he’s delivering bad news. I still walk away going, okay at least he’s been honest and told me his point of view. So it’s disappointing, but it’s not the end of the world and there’s still other opportunities there for me.”He still believes it is in his hands to get another crack at Test cricket. His next opportunity for first-class cricket will be in February when the Sheffield Shield returns while Australia are scheduled to tour Pakistan and Sri Lanka during 2022.”If I do well enough, I’ll get another opportunity,” he said. “Even though I am 34, I still believe if I score enough runs, if I keep banging the door down, and I keep doing what I know I can do you know that I’ll still play another Test match for Australia, hopefully.”
