His contract is expiring and will not be extended.
True, Dybala's contract expires in June this year. This is because Juventus objected to his applying for a contract extension. Until now there has been no official announcement of where he will be but I read at a glance that Toti seduced him to Rome with the promise he would wear no 10. In addition Inter are also trying to get him, several English clubs seem to be interested including Man United and Tottenham.
He is a free agent and his contract expires on June 30 and has been linked with numerous clubs, including Tottenham, PSG, Arsenal and Manchester United. I am just hearing that AS Roma and Inter Milan are among the teams after him, with Totti saying he would try to convince Dybala to make the move to Rome. Honestly I don’t expect him to play in the Serie A after leaving Juventus that will be dumb. He needs to challenge himself outside Italy. I think he will be a good signing for Conte's Tottenham than Roma. Owing to the fact that Conte likes experience players and always want to build his squad with them. The only thing he will get by going to As Roma is playing time compared to Tottenham. And I don't think he will want to sit on the bench with the World cup approaching.

But is he going to fit in the English premier League correctly?

Because we have seen him suffering through some injuries in recent times and English Premier League is a lot of fast paced football right now and it is really easy to get injured in the EPL in my opinion. But it will be a better challenge for him and also good for his career, but that depends on if he can stay fit and play throughout the whole season. I think overall he will be able to do good in the English Premier League because he is a lot more experienced now.

After failed to get Mbappe then Real Madrid will find new players and the latest rumour from them is currently Madrid attempts to buy Raheem Sterling from Man City and this might be will realized because Sterling felt the arrival from Harland will cause him to lose even more opportunities to play regularly so he might be will consider the offers from Madrid and price tag for him is 50 millions pounds negotiable

So, Real Madrid is going to go for Raheem Sterling and it is quite unbelievable to think that everyone thought they had confirmed a deal with Kylian Mbappé. How have the tables turned right?
Now I honestly believe that Real Madrid can do better than this. But I also don't see any good potential right winger for Real Madrid right now in the presence of Benzema.

Day 2 is completed and it looks as if the second test match will also end up as a draw. How does it sound? 10 days of play and still no result. I am glad that I haven't watched a single ball from this series on TV. Saved a lot of time. Anyway, nice to see Shakib Al Hasan getting in to the wickets, although he was not that impressive with the bat. The only positive for Bangladesh from this series is the fact that they have proved the argument of Shakib's one man army wrong. Even without significant contribution from Shakib, the team has put up a good performance.

I have to say the way Bangladesh played in the first innings was really unbelievable. I have never seen a more sorry-looking batting card and also a great performance from them at the same time. 2 of the Bangladeshi batsmen did almost all the scoring.

Yes, they have proved that without a very significant performance from Shakib Al Hasan they can hold their own. But I am expecting a good performance from Shakib Al Hasan in the bowling department otherwise I am quite shared that this match also is going to end up in a draw.

Sanju Samson seems to be on fire. So far he has blasted 3 sixes and the Gujarat Titans bowlers appear to be clueless. Mohammed Shami has till now leaked 30 runs from his 3 overs, while Alzarri Joseph went for 13 from his lone over. Now it needs to be seen what Rashid Khan will be able to do for Gujarat. Samson vs Rashid battle will decide the outcome of this match. Rashid's economy rate for this season stands at less than 7 per over, and he has the capability to trouble both Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler.  

Sanju is out now and he scored 47 off 26 balls. That has certainly given the Rajasthan royals team a good boost but the problem is both the batsman which are on the pitch right now are not being able to score freely. Jos Butler has scored 26 runs off 28 balls and Padikkal scored 11 off 12 balls. If they want to score big they really need to get a move on. 98 runs have been scored from 13 overs and this certainly does not look ideal.

I do not think for now Kohli can influence the selection of players as he is no longer the captain of the team. I do feel that Indian team as a whole unit is a mix of aggressive and calm individuals. Bhumrah is a completely different bowlers you cannot compare him with either Shami or Ishant. He has the ability to perform under pressure which most Indian bowlers are unable to. Ishant Sharma is a good bowler but has been affected by injuries and that is one of the reason why he is not so consistent in his performance. Shami and Bumrah combination has always proved to be deadly for the other team.

Well.. I would disagree. IMO, Shami is more consistent when compared to Bumrah. He is more cool headed and performs better under pressure IMO. Bumrah is faster, but sometimes he loses control over the ball. And regarding Ishant, I agree that he is prone to injuries. Also, Ishant requires some assistance from the pitch and doesn't perform very well in flat tracks. A number of younger pacers are coming up, including Umran Malik, Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan. It needs to be seen who will raise to international level and stay there consistently.

The problem with Bumrah is that once he starts getting hit for boundaries, it is really hard for him to get back into the aggressive rhythm that he generally likes. But for Muhammad Shami, I think the major problem is that he generally balls a little too short for my liking. He has to concentrate a lot on his length and I think he is good. I think it is really necessary to give time or I should say invest time into the future and really recognize which youngster face bowler is going to do well and all of the rising youngsters should be given enough chances.

Villarreal have suffered a drastic decline this season, after performing well in the Champions League, they struggled to finish in the top four and the Europa League zone. Throughout this season Villarreal's performances have never been consistent, as a result they had to settle for finishing seventh and entitled to appear in the Conference League. Victory in the last match against Barcelona did not change anything for both teams, Barcelona was safe in second place and Villarreal had to settle for finishing in seventh place, because their points acquisition could not catch up with the points collected by Real Sociedad.
Yes, at the beginning of the season Villarreal looked quite stunning they were able to be at the top of the standings but after being knocked out of the Champions League Villarreal seemed to have lost their enthusiasm in Laliga because of the defeat to Rela Sociedad which forced them to drop to 7th place in the standings and the victory from Barcelona did not change their position  in standings. But their achievement in the Champions League deserves appreciation this season for being able to penetrate to the semifinals.

Villarreal considered the Champions League more important than La Liga this season. So their performance in the Champions League was not consistent. They also played poorly against relatively weak teams. However, Villarreal's performance in the Champions League surprised everyone. We never imagined we would see Villarreal in the semi-finals of the champions league. The Villarreal team has several weaknesses. Villarreal will be even stronger next season if the coach gets enough funds to bring in the necessary players.

The final four is Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore according to their rankings. In that Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will play the first qualifying match and the winner goes to the final while Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers will play the elimination match and the winner of elimination match and the looser of first qualifier play again for a spot in the final.
The biggest joke is that, out of the four teams going in to the playoffs, two are new franchises who are playing their first season in the IPL. Before the tournament started, I was thinking that they will finish at the bottom. The auction - retaining system is designed in such a way, to favor the existing franchises. But they surprised everyone and put up a splendid performance. One reason is that some of the players who were released as a result of poor form performed exceptionally for their new franchise. Examples are David Warner, Hardik Pandya and Trent Boult.

Gujarat and Lucknow have maintained their consistency since the start of the season. On the other hand, the performance of all the other teams was unstable. The performances of renowned and strong teams like Chennai and Mumbai were the worst. I will blame their captaincy for Chennai's poor performance. Their performance was poor due to poor captaincy in the starting matches of the season. They could not return to the truck.
I blame Rohit Sharma for Mumbai's poor performance. The performance of an experienced player like him this season has been very disappointing.

Sunrisers Hyderabad VS Panjab Kings
Punjab will get an easy victory with the target of only 158 runs given by Hyderabad. Punjab scored 103 runs in 11 overs. They lost three wickets. Punjab needs 55 runs from 54 balls to win. Despite the good performances of Abhishek and Rahul, Hyderabad gave a target of only 156 runs due to the poor performance of the middle order. However, neither team has a chance to qualify for the playoffs.

Manchester City is leading by 3-2 now. By a great way they got back in the truck. After they scored the first goal in 6 minutes, they were able to score 3 goals in just 5 minutes. Which was incredible and exciting. I don't think Aston Villa will be able to score any more goals. City will win this match and will be the champions this season.

Manchester City are the Premier League champions this season. Congratulations Manchester City team and the great Guardiola. Their performance throughout the season has fascinated and delighted us. They deserve the title. They were trailing 2-0 until 75 minutes into today's match. And they scored three goals in 76-81th minutes. The credit for today's victory goes to Gundogan. He scored two goals in76 minutes and 61 minutes. He played very well.

Mumbai Indians VS Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capita also gave a target of 160 runs. This pitch is not a bowling-friendly pitch. 160 runs is not enough to win on such a pitch. However, since it is a do or die match for Delhi. So the Delhi bowlers will continue to work hard today to win the match. On the other hand, even if they win this match, Mumbai's position will be at the bottom of the table.
Mumbai have scored 16 runs in 3 overs without losing a wicket. Khaleel Ahmed gave only two runs in 2 overs.

Well.. it is hard to define the limit. Cricket is known as the gentleman's game, but IMO there is nothing wrong in showing off emotions in a respectful way. Look at other sports such as football and basketball. You will find such players there as well. Such behavior can be tolerated, up to a limit. And the match referee should decide up to which level sledging can be tolerated. If it goes beyond this limit, then strict punishment should be handed out, such as suspension from a few matches (seizure of match fees doesn't make any difference).

I think in every sport a little bit of taunting to make the opponent angry or emotional so that you can have some certain advantage over your opponent mentally.

But, to say something about personal law or some racial stuff is absolutely not right at any stage. we know that other sports like football etc. be physically tense compared to cricket and it is easy for players to lose their calmness in those sports. but in cricket we expect players to behave rationally. because we believe cricket is their thinking man's sport. and it is very hard to draw the line between good sledging and bad sledging.

Would like to add one more thing which i forgot to add in my reply. Virat is indeed aggressive on the field but off the field he's very soft spoken and down to earth person, especially after marriage his off field personality took drastic U turn.

Personally i won't mind if Australia (or any team) goes back into sledging-mode, as far as whatever happens on the field, stays on the field with no virtue signalling (Mostly SENA countries problem). Heated arguments are welcome but no street fights.

Actually, I don't like players who cannot control their emotions on the field because if you cannot control your emotion on the field how are you supposed to keep a calm head when things are not going well for you? I mean a little expression of emotion is all right but you cannot be done enough to scream on the stumps mic.

And I don't want anyone to sledge in cricket because I believe it is a respected sport and all the players should be treated with respect by their opponent.

@JSRAW it’s true that the sandpaper controversy and the quitting of Tim Paine has led the Australia side to change how they behave on the pitch, but I feel that sooner or later they’ll be back to their old ways i.e. win at any cost mentality. Furthermore after being removed as the captain of India, I don’t think Virat has shown much aggression for team India, and I wonder will we see a new calm Virat in the ODI format when the new ODI series begins?.
IMO After losing captaincy camera stopped following him religiously, hence we don't see much of him going gaga over every delivery. So i would argue that nothing has changed in Kohli's attitude. He's still passionate and aggressive cricketer on the field most of the times, which i don't mind at all except when he goes overboard and looks like an idiot (Screaming at Stump mic).

I think Australia is going to remember the incident that took place and they will keep the racism in their mind and not express that in the field. but it is Australia we are talking about and I am not sure how long they are going to be good in the field and behave like a good human being.

About Virat Kohli I really don't think too much has changed because he is aggressive by nature and that is not going to change just overnight. I think we are probably watching a calmer  Virat Kohli because previously he was the captain of the Indian team and that must have meant a  position of real power to him, that's why probably he thought that he could do almost anything he wanted.





Agreed. A beamer directed towards the batsmen can be very dangerous. And trust me, most of the fast bowlers around the world are capable of doing that, but keeping the spirit of cricket in mind they refrain from doing so. If they need to intimidate the batsmen, then they would bowl a few toecrushers and bouncers. But those bowlers who are incapable of doing this, go the illegal route of bowling beamers. Actually I wasn't shocked by Saini's behavior. I was more shocked with the response from Kohli, who encouraged this sort of behavior rather than reprimanding the bowler. In any other league, these two would have been handed down suspension for a few matches. Anyway, Saini's career is more or less finished.

Well when we are talking about his career, I am actually surprised that this dude is almost 30 years old. on television, he looks like he is in his early twenties. After that I became a lot more surprised because someone who is almost 30 years old, should be a lot more calm-headed, and should act like a mature person a lot more. After that, I become a lot more surprised because it is already dumb enough to just throw your ball on the batsman's head, and after that the dumbest part is you get raised by your captain. I am really lost in words.

There is no doubt they have a plan, but the execution was lacking. A solid partnership between Dickwella and Chandimal 99 rescued Sri Lanka. Dickwella showed a good sense of tactical aggression. Chandimal used his cricket experience to play a real test knock. Their performance helped the team avoid losing for the first test match in the series. Bangladesh's chances of winning the series are slim unless they do something extraordinary.

The way Bangladesh have performed in the first test match, I think based on that we can say if Bangladesh can bowl a lot tighter line and length, they will have a great chance in the second test to win.

the problem is that Bangladeshi bowlers are not disciplined enough, they leak here and there. other than that I think the Bangladeshi batsmen are playing quite well. I actually think Bangladesh has a good chance in the second test match.

I had my doubts about Everton in today's game. Maybe they can't win the game and it will be a deep disappointment for all the supporters.

They still have the potential to fail to survive in the Premier League and it all depends on the results of the next 2 matches. It's not really predictable as Crystal Palace and Arsenal are better opponents than Everton this season. But maybe Everton just have to rely on Burnley who will play Aston Villa, if Burnley loses then Everton's chances will be even better.
It's hard to see the premier league next season without everton as one of the participations in the league, after so many years everton being one of the pretty scary teams in the league  but now they are in a difficult position, with only 2 points difference from burnley, then inevitably today everton must win against palace so that they have big hope of getting out of the relegation zone, now two teams namely watford and norwich have been confirmed for relegation next season and now we will only see who will be the victim next from the ferocity of the premier league, everton, leeds united or burnley.

I actually think that Everton might have a chance to win this match because this match is not going to mean too much to Crystal Palace. You know, they are going to end as a mid-table team no matter what.  

But for  Everton, they will surely try to win this match at any cost because they really don't want to get relegated. And both the teams are in the same type of form right now.

I think Leeds is on the back foot right now because they have only one match left in the season and that is a big problem when the teams that are around you have two more matches left.

The chance is very slim for Betis to taken over 4th position from Sevilla especially Sevilla is more comfortable to faced Bilbao next weekend because to secured their position on the top 4 Sevilla only needed draw result and i think the chance is wide open although from 4 recent matches Sevilla cannot be win but i think they can ended this match at least with no lose so my prediction Sevilla will taken over last spot for champion league zone than Betis
Whatever the result of the match that gets by sevilla in the match against bilbao later, I think it will no longer affect their position in the La Liga standings, so far sevilla have accumulated 67 points and are only 3 points distance Betis who are below them, even though sevilla later losing against bilbao and Betis can win big against Madrid later, so that it makes both points equal to 67 but still sevilla will still qualify for the champions league next season because this season sevilla won head to head from Betis.
Sevilla need not worry they might still have a chance to keep pushing Atletico Madrid by taking 2 goals. Although it won't last long. The opportunity to go to the Champions League next season is also not very profitable for Sevilla. The remaining matches that are only able to survive in the top 5 are already much better for Sevilla.

My guess is that Real Betis will win against Real Madrid. Because Ancelotti does not want any member of his squad to be injured before the Liverpool match. So Ancelotti will form a second tier team against Real Betis. Real Betis can earn points against Real Madrid if they can play well. On the other hand, Sevilla has drawn in the last four matches. A draw against Athletico Bilbao would enable Sevilla to qualify for the Champions League.

Titans vs Royal Challengers
I don't think Gujarat Titans are going to take this match seriously because they have already qualified for the next stage and there is nothing to prove for them in this match. On the other hand, RCB needs to win really big otherwise they will be behind in terms of net run rate.
At first, I thought that RCB is going to win this match even though they might not win by a big difference but Gujarat Titans have won the toss and decided to bat and that certainly got me thinking because I believe that team that is going to bat first has the advantage.
GT VS RCB
GT at first place with 20 points in the point table. RCB needs to win today’s match to stay in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the strong openers of Gujarat Titans lost early. GT is now 21-1 after 2.3 overs.
Gujarat has already qualified for the next round. And so today's match is a completely unimportant match for Gujarat. On the other hand, RCB must win this match by any means. I think Bangalore will win the match today. Gujarat has given a target of only 189 runs today. If Kohli can play well, winning this match will be easy for Bangalore.

The match is completely under the control of Bangalore. Bangalore lost their first wicket in 14.3 overs. They scored 115 runs in the first wicket partnership. They collected 121 runs in 15 overs. Only 48 runs from 30 balls are needed to win. Kohli is still at the crease with 6 runs scored. At the same time Glenn Maxwell is a very experienced player.

Hmm

Well we must be following different Australian teams. In my reading and experience Aussie team top the list in racial abuse and being too personal on the cricketing field without any doubt. Having said that i agree that post Sand Paper controversy they changed the tune, not completely but there is a significant improvement.

When i said " Extremely tough in local level" i didn't meant having a god-father or well connected. I was referring to cut throat competition and rawness behaviour in the local circuit. I've said this many time that the only thing i like about BCCI is they never rely on Nepotism when selecting a national team, yeah you could find some examples in Ranji etc but it would be for max 1-2 match because of competition.

Actually, I was talking about the present Australian team. In recent times I do not think they did something to really prove that they are very racist in every way. In the past, if I remember correctly when they were playing against West Indies they almost always talk about racial stuff. In the whole cricketing world, no one was brave enough to sledge Vivian Richards but the Australian players still tried to throw some racial stuff at him. And I think we all know how sir Vivian Richards reacted to sledging.
I was talking about the recent incident because time has changed and so have the laws.


~

This is where I have disagreement with Kohli and his sidekicks (Siraj, Saini.etc). Australians do sledge, but they never cross the line. On the other hand, Kohli and his cronies resort to physical aggression as well, when things doesn't go their way. Kohli behaves like a monkey in the field, always shouting and booing. Also, remember the incident in IPL, when Saini hit Tewatia with a beamer, and then refused to apologize? A few matches later, he did the same to Stoinis as well (2020 season, if I am not wrong). Saini just walked away, believing that hitting a batsmen with a beamer will somehow showcase his "macho" nature. And his captain (Kohli) was perfectly OK with this behavior.

How a player can hit a batsman who is most probably going to play together in the national team and think that it is badass let alone a player from another country!

Yes, I know that sometimes bowlers try to do this because they want to apply fear into their opponent's hearts but I think that is more for test cricket and not so much for the t20. And we have already seen a few players die because of getting hit on the head in cricket. So, I don't know how someone can think of it as an achievement.

Sri Lanka scored 128 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. They are ahead by 60 runs. Now the game of the first session is running. If Sri Lanka can play till the second season and is able to give more than 120 targets then it can be said for sure that the match will be a draw. But I think we will see Sri Lanka batting all day today and the match will be a draw. The pitch is completely batting-friendly. Not helping the bowlers in any way. It is very boring to watching such a test match.
A moment of relief for Srilanka as the match finally ended in a draw. Srilanka score 260 runs in there second innings before Bangladesh gave up the idea of winning the game. Overall its a good performance from Bangladesh they batted good in first innings and were just a bit slow in picking wickets in second innings.  Srilanka on the other will be satisfied by this draw.
It is not a relief for Srilanka considering they are far better test team than Bangladesh. I have mentioned this earlier Bangladesh would either try to win this series or draw it and considering their performance in this match I think they will try to win the next one.

Bangladesh have played well but in the first innings of this test match Bangladesh could not pick up quick wickets. And that happened because of some loose bowling from the Bangladeshi bowlers. There was a lot of short balls from the spinners which took the pressure away from the Sri Lankan batsman totally. I think if Bangladesh put enough pressure on Sri Lanka in the first innings Bangladesh would have had a chance of winning this test match. I believe Bangladesh is going to try to win the next one for sure.

Empoli is also not an easy opponent to predict against Atalanta, this match should not be easy for both of them especially because this is the closing match of the season. Obviously Atalanta will still try to win this match because they have a chance to qualify for the Europa League next season if Roma lose or draw the match against Torino, but I don't agree that Atalanta will win it easily from Empoli.

I think the chances of Atalanta winning against Empoli are high. The Empoli team is not stable. Their performance is not consistent. Moreover, in the home match against Atalanta, they lost by a huge margin. My guess is that Atalanta will easily win the next match. Atalanta will win by at least 2 goals.
Torino is a very tough opponent for Roma. This team has the ability to play well against any strong team. Also important is that Roma's form is very bad now.
