La tête de liste du Parti socialiste et de Place publique a développé, dimanche, sa vision d’une social-démocratie européenne « débarrassée de toute forme de mollesse et de compromission », et fustigé « l’indolence des élites françaises et européennes face à Poutine ».
The post Elections européennes : le PS réuni derrière Raphaël Glucksmann pour son premier grand meeting first appeared on Radio Télévision Caraïbes.
Mohit Sharma picked the wicket of Dewald Brevis to make the match interesting•Mar 24, 2024•BCCI
Omarzai then came back by trapping him leg-before off the last ball.
Dewald Brevis was introduced as an Impact Player in place of Luke Wood and controlled proceedings with Rohit Sharma.
The duo kept up the tempo of the run-chase, attacking the GT bowling almost every over. Their attacking intent was evident, with Rohit taking on Umesh Yadav in the fourth over.
Brevis, the promising batter, essayed some great shots. One of the highlights was an upper-cut for six, which welcomed Spencer Johnson to the Tata IPL.
The 77-run stand put MI on course before R Sai Kishore trapped Rohit leg-before for 43. GT managed to pull things back thereafter, as they conceded only one boundary across the next four overs.
With five overs in hand, MI needed 43 runs with seven wickets in hand. Brevis’s attractive 46 ended when he hit one back to Mohit Sharma, who held on to a remarkable reflex catch in his follow through.
GT’s bowling came together in the slog overs. Johnson delivered a crucial penultimate over. Despite being hit for six off the first ball, he kept it tight thereafter and accounted for two scalps.
The game then moved towards that dramatic finale featuring Umesh.
It was a game of firsts, with Shubman Gill making his captaincy debut in the Tata IPL and leading GT. Pandya too was captaining MI for the very first time in the tournament.
As many as five players made their Tata IPL debuts during this match. GT introduced Omarzai and Johnson, whereas MI brought in Dhir, Wood and Gerald Coetzee.
Earlier, Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first. In an innings where the home side started off well and looked set to post an imposing score, MI’s pace bowling pair of Jasprit Bumrah (3/14) and debutant Gerald Coetzee (2/27) helped restrict GT to 168 for six.
The 2023 edition’s Most Valuable Player, Shubman Gill, started off confidently on his captaincy debut and essayed typical classy shots on his way to a 22-ball 31 featuring three fours and a six. Saha too got off to a good start before a trademark Bumrah yorker castled his bat and shattered the woodwork.
Rohit Sharma broke free even as Mumbai Indians lost Ishan Kishan in the first over•Mar 24, 2024•BCCISai Sudharsan’s innings of 45 helped keep the GT innings together as they lost wickets at regular intervals in the second half of their innings.
Omarzai showed glimpses of good form during his 17—a six down the ground being a big highlight.
Bumrah returned in the slog overs and dismissed the dangerous David Miller with a wonderfully disguised slower ball to begin the 17th over.
Sai Sudharshan holed out towards deep square leg two balls later to further dent GT’s charge. Rahul Tewatia’s (22 off 15 balls) pyrotechnics towards the end helped GT post 168. (IPL)

Mohammad Amir has made himself available for selection to Pakistan for the upcoming T20 World Cup that starts on June 1 in the USA and the West Indies.
Amir’s last match for Pakistan was a T20I against England in 2020, and he retired from international cricket in December that year, saying he felt mentally tortured.
“I still dream to play for Pakistan!” Amir, 31, said in a post on social media. “Life brings us to the points where at times we have to reconsider our decisions.
There have been a few positive discussions between myself and the PCB where they respectfully made me feel that I was needed and can still play for Pakistan, and after discussing with family and well wishers I declare that I am available to be considered for upcoming T20 WC. I want do this for my country as it comes before my personal decisions.
Donning the green jersey and serving my country has always been, and will continue to be, my greatest aspiration.”
Amir most recently played the 2024 PSL, where he finished with 10 wickets in nine games with an economy of 8.41 for Quetta Gladiators. Amir’s announcement comes a day after allrounder Imad Wasim reversed his retirement and also made himself available for selection for the T20 World Cup.
While Amir had an unremarkable PSL campaign, his performances in the CPL in recent seasons stand him in promising stead for a World Cup that will largely be held in the West Indies. He has taken 43 wickets at an average of 14.39 and an economy rate of just 6.50.
With Shaheen not at full tilt since his injury return, Naseem only recently back from a lengthy layoff and Haris Rauf currently injured, Pakistan’s pace bowling stocks are depleted, potentially giving Amir the opportunity to elbow his way in.
The decision also has ramifications for his county Derbyshire, whom he will not be linking up with when the season starts on April 5.
New Zealand visit Pakistan for 5 T20Is from April 18-27, and Amir’s decision to make himself available for international cricket means he will be in Pakistan during this period.
In a post on social media, he thanked the county, as well as head coach Mickey Arthur, for “being understanding”. (ESPNcricinfo)
Sanju Samson led from the front with an unbeaten 82 from 52 balls as Rajasthan Royals opened their IPL campaign with a hard-earned 20-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur.
After winning the toss for his team, Samson’s knock was the mainstay of Royals’ imposing 193 for 4, and a tight contest hadn’t seemed remotely likely when Trent Boult and Nandre Burger reduced LSG to 11 for 3 in the first four overs of their reply.
However, KL Rahul – on his return from injury – teamed up with Nicholas Pooran to take the chase deep in a fifth-wicket stand of 85 from 52 balls that ended from the first ball of the 17th over, as Sandeep Sharma popped up with a priceless spell of death bowling that left LSG with too much to do.
With 38 still needed from 12 balls, Sandeep’s penultimate over was arguably even more important, as he limited the hard-swinging Pooran to just a brace of boundaries in an 11-run over, allowing Avesh Khan to close out the contest with ease. Pooran finished unbeaten on 64 from 41 balls. (ESPNcricinfo)
