One on one
On Monday, Dravid and Upton sat in a restaurant in the team hotel and had one-on-one interactions, resembling personal appraisals, with every player for a few minutes. According to Sam Billings, who scored 54 off 34 balls against KKR, the exchange created an environment where even young players like Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer could approach them without hesitation and express themselves.
Upton was popular during his tenure as India’s mental conditioning coach.
“As a young international player from overseas to have an environment to come into which is great for confidence, to go out and play your natural game, in a short competition it is invaluable,” Billings said on Monday.The 24-year-old England player said Dravid has been helping players to become mentally tougher and read the game better, which can be the difference in this format.
“He’s been teaching us when you have got to sit in (curb your shots) for a little bit and when to attack.”
The inputs should be invaluable to someone like Iyer, who after being the highest Ranji Trophy run-scorer for Mumbai last season, has hit a rough patch, scoring 22 runs in five innings.
“He (Dravid) told me I need to open up my shoulder a bit more for seamers so that I can keep my head steady,” said Iyer when asked if Dravid was helping him with technique.

Live Cricket Score GL vs DD IPL 2016 Gujarat Lions at rajkot

Live Cricket Score GL vs DD IPL 2016 Gujarat Lions at rajkot, Live Cricket Score GL vs DD IPL 2016 Gujarat Lions at rajkot.Gujarat Lions (GL) are to set to hosts confident Delhi Daredevils (DD) in Match 31 of IPL 2016 at Rajkot. Both teams are almost at the same level and this could be anyone’s game. GL are resting well on top of the table with 12 points as for Delhi, they are slowly marching towards the top with 8 points in their kitty. 

GL were overpowered to a defeat at their home ground against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP),  where Akshar Patel stole the show with his hat-trick, first one in this edition of IPL. Looking at the way GL performed in the previous game, they would surely settle for the same side. Here is the probable XI for GL as they take on DD. FULL CRICKET SCORECARD: Gujarat Lions vs Delhi Daredevils, IPL 2016, Match 31 at Rajkot
Top-Order: GL are happy with their top-order especially after Dwayne Smith coming along very well replacing Aaron Finch, he has been solid base in all the games till date in this edition. Smith and Brendon McCullum have complimented each other well. There previous outing between these teams saw a crackling game from the opening pair with Smith securing 53 and McCullum’s knock of 60. In case the top order fails at crucial time, skipper Suresh Raina covers it up just in time. The major chuck of the runs for GL  depend on these key players.
 Gujarat Lions 39/3 (7.0) (Dinesh Karthik 3*, Suresh Raina 12*)
Leggie Amish Mishra's here. He's bowling them slow and getting the batsmen to stretch for runs. He's started off well -- only 4 of this one.
Gujarat Lions 35/3 (6.0) (Dinesh Karthik 1*, Suresh Raina 10*)
Shami will loook to continue the good work done by the other DD bowlers. Raina moves away and guides a short one over the thir man boundary -- a much-needed six this! He needs to up the pace if he wants to persist with this length. Eight off this one.
Gujarat Lions 27/3 (5.0)
DD is losing the plot -- they need group and rethink on their strategy. Morris continues and he's bowling in the high 140s here. Karthik's getting serious short ones here -- Morris has him jumping and fending ones off his chest. Terrific over, this -- only three off this.
Gujarat Lions 24/3 (4.0)
Now, both the openers are gone. Smith perishes, looking to smash the spinner out the park. Morris takes an easy catch at long-on. Two new batsmen -- Suresh Raina and Aaron Finch -- at the crease. And, he strike again, OUT! Finch's stay at the middle is short -- tries to sweep Nadeem's arm ball but only manages to get top edge. Pant takes a simple one at short fine leg. A dream start for DD here.
Middle-Order: Considering the previous game of GL, it was the middle-order that got the trick done. Top-order crashed and burned against KXIP but in their earlier game against DD , the top-order played a major role in their win. Dinesh Karthik has been valuable, contributing  30-40 runs in most of the games, which has been enough to keep the momentum going. Ravindra Jadeja could be fiery with his batting skills when needed, though that moment is yet to be witnessed in this season. As for Dwayne Bravo, the all-rounder is an hard-hitter although known for his bowling skills so far in IPL 9 he would want to bat well. Bravo managed to scalp just the wicket of JP Duminy against DD in the first game.
James Faulkner can get a call to bat up the order, after his crucial 32 off 27, which included 4-fours in the last match.  Complimenting him well was India U-19 skipper Ishan Kishan. All in all the middle-order can be the cover if the top-order breaks.
 Gujarat Lions 17/1 (3.0)
Zak strikes! McCullum's made a mess of that one, an error in judgment there -- he's misread the length on that one. He tries to pull one that wasn't that short and misses it. Terrific start for the old workhorse -- only three runs and the all-important wicket of McCullum.
Gujarat Lions 14/0 (2.0)
Chris Morris to bowl. He's getting it swing both sides and Smith's taking up the challenge. He's flicked an incoming one through the vacant midwicket region for a four and follows that with a nice-looking drive. That was a slower one too. GL openers get a move on -- nine came off this one.
Gujarat Lions 5/0 (1.0)
Nadeem to bowl the first over. The ball's drifting into Smith, here -- no turn off the pitch though. A top delivery to finish the over -- another one that went straight but quicker and hit McCullum, who's camping on the backfoot, on the pads. Very close call, that -- Umpire says there's come bat on that.
Here's the final XI for both teams:
Gujarat Lions:
Dwayne Smith, Brendon McCullum, S. Raina, A Finch, D Karthik, R Jadeja, Ishan Kishan, J Faulkner, P Kumar, D Kulkarni, S Kaushik
Delhi Daredevils:
Quinton de Kock, S Samson, K Nair, JP Duminy, S Billings, Pant, C Morris, A Mishra, Mohammed Shami, Z Khan, S Nadeem
Zaheer Khan wins the toss and DD will bowl first.
Gujarat Lions’ three-match winning streak came to an end on Sunday after losing to Kings XI by 23 runs but despite the loss, they continue to enjoy the top spot in the table with 12 points from eight games. Delhi Daredevils, on the other hand, would be hoping to settle scores after losing by a narrow one run against Gujarat Lions at home.

Live Streaming IPL 2016 Gujarat Lions vs Kings XI Axar Takes Hat Trick As Kings XI Punjab GL

Live Streaming IPL 2016 Gujarat Lions vs Kings XI Axar Takes Hat Trick As Kings XI Punjab GL, Live Streaming IPL 2016 Gujarat Lions vs Kings XI Axar Takes Hat Trick As Kings XI Punjab GL.WICKET! Gujarat Lions lose their seventh wicket. Ishan Kishan is run out (Maxwell/Stoinis). They are 86/7, need 69 off 31 balls. Faulkner is still at the crease. Can GL do it?After 13 overs: Gujarat Lions 74 for 6: Gujarat have to pace up their innings as they have 80 runs to win in 7 overs. Ishan 18* (18), Faulkner 6* (8)

WICKET: After 10.1 overs: Gujarat Lions 57 for 6: It's a dream come true for Axar as he completes his hat-trick, the first this season and third overall in IPL. Though Jadeja is unhappy with the decision. How does it matter when umpire has raised his finger. Jadeja pokes it from the crease and gets a faint edge. The snickometre confirms that he had an edge. It is Patel's fourth wicket and it's a co-incidence that a bowler whose home is in Gujarat is dismantling a team from his state.
50 UP: Gurkeerat throws a wide and Gujarat's 50 comes up in 9 overs.
After 9 overs: Gujarat Lions 49 for 5: It's strategic time-out and Gujarat are a run away from 50, but the bad news for them is that they have lost five wickets. Kishan 6* (7), Jadeja 5* (6)
WICKET: After 6.6 overs: Gujarat Lions 39 for 5: Axar on a fire. It's unbelievable that he has taken three wickets in an over and too of established batsmen. This time his victim is Bravo. Another arm-ball and Bravo doesn't go for a drive. He gets an inside edge and the ball runs into stumps.
WICKET: After 6.5 overs: Gujarat Lions 39 for 4: Axar on a roll. The arm ball skids off the surface and Dinesh Karthik tries to drive it away but there is enough gap between bat and ball and the ball breaches in. Gujarat are in danger now.
WICKET: After 6.3 overs: Gujarat Lions 38 for 3: Axar Patel takes his first wicket and that too of in-form Smith. He doesn't get underneath the ball and gives a catch at long-off to Gurkeerat. He scores 15 off 18 balls.
WICKET: After 4.6 overs: Gujarat Lions 34 for 2: Mohit takes his second wicket and this time too he bowls out a batsman. Raina comes ahead, leaves the stump and wants to play it across the bat for a big shot at deep midwicket, but a good-length delivery by Mohit rattles middle stump. With such an important wicket, KXIP wrest momentum.
SIX: Raina hits Mohit for a six in third man on the third ball of the fifth over. It's a bumper, Raina slightly comes towards his right and hooks it for the maximum.
After 4 overs: Gujarat Lions 24 for 1: Good first over by Axar as he gives six runs in it. Smith 12* (10), Raina 10* (11)
WICKET: After 1.4 overs: Gujarat Lions 13 for 1: Mohit Sharma gives Gujarat an early jitter. A good-length delivery and he castles McCullum. The New Zealander scores just one run off three balls.
SIX: Smith hits the first six for Gujarat on the last ball of the first over. He plays across the bat and smashes it in the stands at deep mid wicket.
Gujarat Lions' innings stars: Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum open bat for Gujarat, while pacer Sandeep Sharma bowls the first over for Punjab.
Kings XI Punjab innings:
WICKET: After 18.5 overs: Kings XI Punjab 151 for 8: Praveen is on a roll as he finishes Punjab's innings with his second wicket. This time he bowls out to Cariappa.
WICKET: After 19.3 overs: Kings XI Punjab 153 for 9: Praveen takes his first wicket as he bowls out to Mohit Sharma.WICKET: After 18.5 overs: Kings XI Punjab 151 for 8: Bravo takes another wicket as he bowls out Saha. Saha scores 33 runs in his brisk innings of 19 balls. He hits four boundaries.
ings XI Punjab's spinner Axar Patel, on Sunday, entered the Indian Premier League history books as he took the 14th hat-trick of the cash-rich league.
Also, Axar became the first bowler to take a hat-trick in the ongoing ninth season of the league, achieving the feat against Gujarat Lions at Rajkot.
Mohit Sharma struck twice in the first six overs to dent Lions' chase of 155 against the Murali Vijay-led Punjab.
Bowling the seventh over, the tall left-arm spinner dismissed explosive West Indian Dwayne Smith on the third delivery before getting rid of Dinesh Karthik and Dwayne Bravo on the fifth and sixth deliveries, respectively. The Lions' batsmen were clueless against Axar's lethal weapon - the arm balls.

Vijay, who kept rotating his bowlers, took Axar off the attack and brought in Stoinis to bowl the ninth over.
However, coming back to bowl the 11th over, Axar sent Ravindra Jadeja walking back to the hut right on the first ball to complete his hat-tick.
Over 18 | Score 118/7 (Faulkner 31*, Kumar 9*)
Stoinis to bowl his final over, Lions need 49 off 18 balls. He started with a short ball and Praveen could only score a single off it. Second ball was a low full-toss, Faulkner hammered it towards deep midwicket, where Maxwell dived in front to take the catch, his judgement wasn't right and the ball went for a boundary. Faulkner scored a single off the next ball. Stoinis bowled a wide full-toss to Praveen, who cheekily worked it past third man for a boundary. Praveen flicked the next ball towards deep fine leg for a single. Faulkner attempted a big slog-sweep off the last ball, didn't connect and they ran a bye as Saha failed to collect the ball cleanly. 12 from the over.
Over 17 | Score 106/7 (Faulkner 26*, Kumar 3*)
Sandeep Sharma to bowl his final over, 56 needed off 24. Despite conceding a boundary off the last ball, it was still an excellent over from Sandeep where he conceded just seven runs.
Over 16 | Score 99/7 (Faulkner 21*, Kumar 1*)

Mohit is back, Lions need 68 from 30 balls. He started with a length ball and Faulkner smashed it over the bowler's head for a boundary.

Over 14 | Score 82/6 (Kishan 25*, Faulkner 7*)
Axar to bowl his final over. Third ball was banged short, Ishan got into position early and played a switch hit over deep third man for a boundary. Seven from the over. Ishan is trying his best to step up the tempo of the innings. Some lusty blows from Faulkner should give him some more confidence. Axar Patel ends a fantastic spell - (4-0-21-4)
Over 13 | Score 74/6 (Kishan 18*, Faulkner 6*)Cariappa to bowl his third over. Third ball drifted down the leg side and Ishan paddled it for a boundary past fine leg. Ten from the over.

Kings XI Punjab Online Tickets at BookMyShow KXIP falling foul, Kings XI Punjab Online Tickets at BookMyShow KXIP falling foul.NEW DELHI: Gujarat Lions, in their first season in the IPL, are proving the team to beat. Twice in four days, Delhi Daredevils and Rising Pune Supergiants have come down to one ball needed to try and stop Suresh Raina's team, but failed. Two thrilling last-ball wins have not only pushed Gujarat to the top of the IPL leaderboard with 12 points from seven matches, but showed that they're not about to throw the towel in. 

Over 20 | Score 131/9 (Kulkarni 6*, Kaushik 0*)
Sandeep to bowl the final over, Lions need 30 off 6. Faulkner hit the first ball straight down the ground towards long-on and refused to take the single, much to the dismay of Dhawal Kulkarni. Sandeep followed it with a low full-toss and Faulkner hit it straight to the fielder at long-on. Kaushik is the new man in. Dhawal Kulkarni worked the third ball towards long-off and refused the single. Dhawal was offered width off the fourth ball and he cheekily played it past the keeper for a couple of runs. Dhawal cut the fifth ball past point for another couple of runs. Dhawal drove the last ball towards wide of long-off for another couple of runs. That's it, KXIP win the match by 23 runs.
Gujarat Lions
Pravin Tambe sat out on Friday, with 29-year-old chinaman spinner Shivil Kaushik making his debut in T20 cricket. The rookie should have had a wicket with his 12th delivery, except he overstepped, and the subsequent free hit was hit for six. There may be the temptation to bring back Tambe, unless the Lions management wants to instill confidence in young Kaushik.
Probable XI: 1 Dwayne Smith, 2 Brendon McCullum, 3 Suresh Raina (capt), 4 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 5 Ravindra Jadeja, 6 Dwayne Bravo, 7 Ishan Kistan, 8 James Faulkner, 9 Praveen Kumar, 10 Dhawal Kulkarni, 11 Pravin Tambe/Shivil Kaushik
Kings XI Punjab
Pardeep Sahu conceded 35 in three wicketless over in the previous game, and looks the likeliest to be dropped. Anureet Singh, KXIP's most successful pace bowler last season, could at last get a game unless the management punts on Shardul Thakur. Could there be a return for Wriddhiman Saha too, as wicketkeeper in place of young Nikhil Naik? Miller's wretched run as the team captain has coincided with a poor form with the bat. Since he is no more the skipper, will he be able to keep his place in the playing XI?
Over 18 | Score 118/7 (Faulkner 31*, Kumar 9*)
