Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene was “brutally honest” in his assessment after their early exit from the IPL, saying they failed to take control of crucial moments and did not play good cricket. Mumbai are likely to end up last on the points table even if they manage to win their last game against Delhi Capitals on May 21. “But having the quality that we have in the squad, yes, you have to be brutally honest, we haven’t played good cricket,” Jayawardene said on the eve of the game. “Like I have said earlier, the intensity, we haven’t taken control of crucial moments in certain matches, we had that done (then) we had the confidence to get those four-five wins in a row, where we would be fighting for the play-offs, but it has been that kind of a season and (I am) definitely disappointed." Jayawardene said the main concern was not handling pressure situations in early stages of the tournament. “As any season where we start slow, which is a concern for us.

IPL 2022, MI vs DC | Rishabh Pant is right choice for captaincy, no doubt in my mind: Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting
Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting on May 21 backed Rishabh Pant after his strategic blunder cost the team a spot in the play-offs, saying he is still young and learning the ropes of captaincy and remains the right choice for the job. With Mumbai Indians at 95 for 3 in 14.3 overs while chasing a target of 160, Pant made a strategic blunder as he refused to go for DRS after Tim David nicked the first ball of his innings and the onfield umpire didn’t give him out. It came back to haunt DC as David slammed 34 runs off just 11 balls with the help of two boundaries and four sixes to take the game out of DC’s grasp. “Absolutely, no doubt in my mind that Rishabh even in the last season he was the right choice for captain. Rishabh did a terrific job with the team after he took over from Shreyas [Iyer] after he injured his shoulders,” Ponting said during the press conference after DC lost by five wickets against MI. “...he is just a young man and still learning captaincy. Being captain … [Read more...] about IPL 2022, MI vs DC | Rishabh Pant is right choice for captaincy, no doubt in my mind: Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting

Before he started taking hormone blockers at the age of 17, the north west London-based model still had periods every month. “During my transition I did have to deal with experiencing periods each month and many of the negative stereotypes that can come along with it,” Jones said. “Assuming periods are inhibiting to people tends to perpetuate period shame even more, and makes people even more reluctant to talk about them. “I always found the fact that no one seemed to openly talk about … [Read more...] about Transgender male model fronts new period campaign
