INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE, 2021 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet File Pic: Williamson appeared to have nailed down a middle order spot at SRH coming into the 2021 season. © BCCI/IPL Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Trevor Bayliss has revealed that New Zealand batsman Kane Williamson needs more time to get match fit. Williamson was a surprising exclusion from the SRH playing XI for their tournament opener against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday (April 11). Williamson appeared to have nailed down a middle order spot going into the new season after impressing in the role last year in the UAE.

"He would have played in place of … [Read more...] about Williamson needs more time to get match fit – Bayliss
Rana, Tripathi lead way for KKR’s winning start
INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE 2021 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet Rana scored a 56-ball 80 before he fell after a 93-run stand with Tripathi. © BCCI/IPL Half-centuries by Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi set the base for Kolkata Knight Riders' 10-run win in their opening encounter of IPL 2021 in Chennai on Sunday (April 11). On a day when their star-studded international batters failed to shine, their young brigade led the way. Manish Pandey and Jonny Bairstow stroked fifties as well, along with a late cameo from Abdul Samad, but a scratchily-paced run-chase undid their efforts. Who set up the initial pace for KKR? Nitish Rana Never in the last six IPL innings has the left-hander got off the mark and failed to score a fifty. Amidst every alternate dismissal on a duck, there comes a knock that remains a consistent reminder as to why he is one of the finest uncapped players in the tournament currently.

George Barlett, Lewis Gregory earn Somerset an unlikely win
COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet George Bartlett scored an unbeaten 76 in the fourth innings of his team's victory © Getty The opening round of the County Championship finished on Sunday (April 11).

Kid Cudi Rocks Dress On ‘SNL’ For Kurt Cobain Tribute
Kid Cudi paid homage to the later rocker Kurt Cobain -- who died almost 27 years ago to the day -- by wearing a dress almost identical to one worn by the Nirvana frontman. Cudi was the musical guest Saturday on "Saturday Night Live," and he first paid respects to fallen 'SNL' star Chris Farley by wearing a t-shirt with Farley's image emblazoned on it as he sang "Tequila Shots." Cudi also performed "Sad People," and for that, he wore a white, spaghetti-strapped floral dress ... check it out -- it's a spitting image pattern of Cobain's. Folks on social media almost immediately picked up on the significance of the dress. It was an awesome moment and tribute and the messaging is multi-layered. Pretty awesome. Kid Cudi pulling the ultimate Kurt Cobain tribute on #SNL on the week of this death. @KidCudi all about love and suicide prevention and awareness!!! pic.twitter.com/m4DOUC5eFF — Danny Armstrong (@DArmstrong44) April 11, 2021 @DArmstrong44 As you … [Read more...] about Kid Cudi Rocks Dress On ‘SNL’ For Kurt Cobain Tribute
