Dres, 8 de mayo: Nop asusta a Bob

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has received bomb threats. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been forced to change the venue for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) match. India cricket team Test captain Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement. Head coach Gautam Gambhir says there shouldn’t be any more India vs Pakistan cricket matches. The Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have announced injury replacements, and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) may have found a replacement for MS Dhoni.

Rohit Sharma retires from Test cricket

India will have a new Test captain. That’s because Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from the longest format, effective immediately. With India touring England in June, Rohit decided it’s the right time to hang up his red-ball boots. He’ll continue leading India ODIs, which is the only format he hasn’t retired from in international cricket.

PBKS vs MI match venue shifted

In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor by the Indian forces, the BCCI has decided to change the venue of the PBKS vs MI match. Since Dharamshala is just 60 km away from the India-Pakistan border, the Indian government doesn’t think it’s safe for players or the audience to play there. The game will be played on May 11, but in Mumbai now.

IPL stadiums gets bomb threat

After Indian cricketers, it’s the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) that received threats. An email has been sent to the two boards, which threaten to blast the stadiums in Bengal and Gujarat. One match venue has already been shifted, and the same could happen with these two grounds.

Have CSK found MS Dhoni’s successor?

CSK have long been looking for a wicketkeeper who can replace MS Dhoni. Well, they may have found the right man in Urvil Patel. Making his IPL debut, the 26-year-old scored an 11-ball 31 against KKR to showcase his incredible hitting ability. It seems at last, Dhoni can pass his gloves to someone who’s as destructive as him with the bat.

No India vs Pakistan matches, says Gambhir
