New Delhi, Jan 20 (Ians) Fifty-seven players have been released by eight Indian Premier League (Ipl) franchises ahead of the 2021 auction, to be held next month. They include Mumbai Indians' fast bowling great Lasith Malinga, former Rajasthan Royals captain Steve Smith, Chennai Super Kings (Csk) off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, and Kings XI Punjab all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) have released the most number of players, 10, though it is noteworthy that among them are wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel, who announced his retirement from all cricket recently, and veteran South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn, who had opted out of the Ipl in the first week of this month.
Delhi Capitals said in a statement that they have traded all-rounders Harshal Patel and Daniel Sams to Rcb. They are, however, yet to name the players that would possibly come from Rcb as part of the trading window, which is open until about a week before the auction.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 31 (Ians/GloFans) Five wins on the trot saw Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) making a turnaround in their fortunes before a defeat to Rajasthan Royals (Rr) dented their Indian Premier League playoff chances. Kxip side will now have to play out of their skin against a buoyant Chennai Super Kings (Csk) on Sunday and strengthen their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
With the race to playoffs intensifying, Kxip (12 points from 13 games) will not just bank on a win but would also hope all other calculations go their way to enable them to finish among the top four at the end of the league phase. Although Rajasthan Royals (-0.377) and Kolkata Knight Riders (-0.467) also have 12 points each, Kxip have a better net run rate (-0.133) than them at the moment.
Chennai, on the other hand, have nothing to lose and will be ready to play spoilsport and...

Abu Dhabi, Oct 29 (Ians/GloFans) With five wins on the trot, a rejuvenated Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) will look to further boost their playoff hopes when they face Rajasthan Royals (Rr) in the 50th match of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) on Friday.
While Kxip (12 points) have turned it around after going on a dismal run in the first half of the season, Rr (10 points) have been wildly inconsistent in the latter half of the season and desperately need a win to be alive in the race for the playoffs season at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
Kxip captain Kl Rahul (595 runs from 12 matches) has been leading the batting from the front and has received good support from his opening partner Mayank Agarwal, who missed last two games due to bruised knee.
Mandeep Singh has filled in for Agarwal in the last two games and scored an unbeaten 66 in his previous...

Dubai, Oct 3 (Ians/GloFans) Thrice champions Chennai Super Kings (Csk) failed to take advantage of a six-day rest and on return lost to SunRisers Hyderabad on Friday. Csk will have another opportunity to redeem themselves when they meet Kings XI Punjab (Kxip), who are still looking for their first Ipl title, in Sunday's second encounter here.
Csk have undoubtedly dominated the lucrative tournament since its inception in 2008, but the Ms Dhoni-led side is struggling this year. Nothing has been going right for Csk: first it was off-field issues, and now they have failed to deliver on the field as well, suffering three defeats on the trot.
Csk are surely a star-studded side on paper, but so far they haven't lived up to the expectations they have raised. And in such a situation, Csk need to salvage pride when they face Kxip here.
A lot was talked about Dhoni's batting position...

Sharjah, Sep 26 (Ians/GloFans) The K.L. Rahul-led Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) began their Ipl campaign on a losing note but they bounced back in grand style by outshining Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) in their second outing. On Sunday, they will be up against a confident Rajasthan Royals (Rr), who are now evenly poised with the return of Jos Buttler along with mentor Shane Warne.
In their last game, Rahul single-handedly blew the Virat Kohli-led Rcb away with his unbeaten 132. Later, the Punjab bowlers also rose to the occasion and bundled out Rcb for a paltry 109, setting up a massive 97-run win.
The Kxip team management will hope its players to replicate the show against Rr. However, the only headache for Kxip will be the silence of Glenn Maxwell and Nicholas Pooran in the middle-order and the team management would likely try to make some minor changes here.

Dubai, Sep 23 (Ians/GloFans) Ahead of their Thursday's clash, if Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) looked for motivation from their head-to-head Ipl record, they would have been a bit disappointed as little separated the two teams; both have won 12 matches each since the Ipl began in 2008.
After enduring umpiring errors, followed by a Super Over heartbreak, in their campaign opener against Delhi Capitals (DC), the Kl Rahul-led Kxip would look open their account against Virat Kohli's Rcb at the Dubai International Cricket stadium here on Thursday.
Against DC, Punjab rode on MayankAgarwal's blistering 60-ball 89 to approach the 158-run target. While the other Punjab players failed to leave an impact, and the team suffering hiccups at regular intervals, it was Mayank who single-handedly propelled Punjab and very nearly sealed a win.
However, just when Kxip was on the brink of a win, needing just one off three deliveries,...
