The Mumbai Indians have begun this edition of the tournament rather well as they notched up two wins in as many games. In their first game, they scored a 200-plus total, and despite a blitzkrieg ton from Yusuf Pathan, emerged winners. The other game saw them crush Delhi after getting to a near 220, winning by 98 runs.

The Group B of the Champions Trophy is wide open at the end of the first three games in it. The first game had seen the Sri Lankans stun the hosts, South Africa. In the second match, the South Africans made a comeback and beat New Zealand to make it one win out of two. Finally, favourites Sri Lanka was then shocked by England, a side which had only recently lost six games against Australia.

Ricky Ponting, Australia’s cricket captain, has announced his retirement from twenty overs format of cricket and has said that he will concentrate on only the other two formats of the game, the ODIs and the test matches. This comes in the wake of the consistently grinding schedule that the sides have to endure in the current day and age, and a growing trend of players choosing one or the other forma over the other. Current vice-captain Michael Clarke will take over the leadership of the T20I Aussie side, whereas Ponting would continue captaining in the test matches and the ODIs. An announcement to that regard will soon be made.
