While the world cricket was sending heartfelt messages to Alex Hales on his retirement, a fake account on his name put a farewell post taking a jibe at India.

Alex Hales, who made his international debut against India in August 2011 in a T20I at Manchester, represented England in 11 Tests, 70 One-Day Internationals and 75 T20Is.

With RCB chasing 201 against KKR, Virat Kohli fought a lone battle, scoring 54 off 37 deliveries.

On the second ball of the 8th over of Desert Vipers' innings, Colin Munro hit a full toss ball from Samit Patel towards long-on where Kieron Pollard was stationed. The MI Emirates captain timed his jump beautifully to grab a one-handed stunner.

According to a report, England batter Alex Hales has been reprimanded by the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) over an old picture of him wearing a "blackface".

Hales joins compatriot Sam Billings and Australian Test and ODI captain to miss the next season of IPL. This is a big loss for KKR, who would have expected these three players to be crucial members of the squad.

The ICC on Monday named their most valuable team of the recently-concluded ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Two Indians have been named and they are none other than Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav.
