Greatness of Virat Kohli Has Been Reduced": Harbhajan Singhs Huge IPL 2024 Warning
The MA Chidambaram Stadium in this city continues to be a peak that the Royal Challengers Bangalore hitter has yet to reach for the relentless run machine that is Virat Kohli. Kohli has amassed 7263 runs from 237 matches, seven hundreds, and a strike average of 130, setting him apart from the other players in the IPL. However, at the Chepauk, where he averages just thirty and has a strike-rate of eleven1, that dominance wanes. In light of this, former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh stated that Kohli must put up a stronger effort when RCB takes on the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings in the opening IPL game of the season on March 22 at the Chepauk.In terms of his overall performance at that location, Virat's greatness has diminished. It's a challenging place to bat, particularly when you're the opening batsman up against a strange bounce similar to a tennis ball.The legendary Ravindra Jadeja bowls stump to stump for them (CSK). He's going to turn the oddball, then make it stay low. It's quite difficult," Harbhajan stated to Star Sports. In fact, Harbhajan stated that Kohli will need to find a way to bat longer because the star batsman has been out of the game three times in his last five innings against CSK due to Power Plays.A match-winning performance is possible if he is truly ready to bat for roughly 20 overs, as two hundreds at the easily accessible Chinnaswamy do not always translate to the same at Chepauk "said the man. Kohli has a mediocre record against the Super Kings and has yet to score an IPL century at Chepauk. In 30 games, the 35-year-old has amassed 985 runs against CSK, with a career-high of 90.The former CSK player Harbhajan stated that in order for RCB to have a genuine chance of winning the elusive IPL title, Kohli needed to get back to his 2016 form. "It is crucial that he has a season similar to 2016 because the team will advance if Virat continues to score runs. I'm not sure if they'll end up winning the cup. "But I think they have a lot of good batting because of the brilliant players they have on the team, including Virat, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, and a few others like Patidar. and everybody hopes Virat can repeat his success from 2016," he continued.

Once again, Shreyas Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane fall short, but Shardul Thakur, the leader, seizes the initiative.
On the first day of the Ranji Trophy final, veteran duo Shreyas Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane's run drought persisted, but Shardul Thakur's versatility as an all-rounder enabled hosts Mumbai to rally against a brave Vidarbha. In addition to giving Mumbai's below-average first innings score of 224 some semblance of respectability with a counterpunching 75 off just 69 balls, Thakur also removed veteran opener Dhruv Shorey (0) with an angular delivery that gave him a favourable DRS result. Atharva Taide (21 not out) and night watchman Aditya Thakare at the crease meant that Vidarbha were 31/3 at stumps, needing another 193 runs to close the first innings. Medium pacer Dhawal Kulkarni, in his final first-class match of his career, bowled his usual late outswingers, with Test triple centurion Karun Nair (0) and Aman Mokhade (8) nicking it to Hardik Tamore behind stumps. The 41-time champions fell from 81/0 to 111/6 on either side of the lunch break in a stunning collapse that saw Mumbai's top players, Rahane and Iyer, dismissed for identical scores of 7. Despite his leadership prowess, Rahane's awful Ranji Trophy career continued when the Mumbai captain played a meek game to mid-on and was removed just when his team needed him to take the field.Rahane was a contender to reclaim his place in the national team around this time last year, but as things stand, it's unclear if Mumbai selectors will stick with the 35-year-old for the upcoming campaign, regardless of the outcome of this final. Iyer, who was out of favor and had to work hard to get back into the national conversation, was unable to save Mumbai from disaster once more because of his subpar technique. Umesh Yadav (2/43 in 13.3 overs) was as reckless as he could be during the morning session, splattering the new ball everywhere and primarily drifting on the pads of openers Prithvi Shaw and Bhupen Lalwani. Though he kept running out of partners, Thakur showed deft use of both hands and feet to inch closer to what would have been his second consecutive ton. After scoring an incredible 75 off just 69 balls with eight fours and three sixes, Thakur was the final batter to be dismissed. He was caught by the man at deep square leg. The trio of Shams Mulani (13), Tanush Kotian (8), and Tushar Deshpande (14)—who helped Mumbai win multiple times by scoring valuable runs—also fell for a pittance.

Gautam Gambhirs Serious Pre-IPL 2024 Message To KKR
Before the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, which begins on March 22, Kolkata Knight Riders coach Gautam Gambhir had a direct message for his team. During a Star Sports conversation, Gambhir clarified that the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a fantastic chance for young players to demonstrate their abilities in the "toughest league in the world," not about Bollywood or the post-match celebrations. The former Indian batter, who captained KKR to the IPL title in 2012 and 2014, added that since the league is most similar to international cricket, there is extra pressure on players and teams to perform well. "I stated unequivocally on Day 1 that I take the Indian Premier League seriously. It has nothing to do with Bollywood, you, the after-party, or other such things. It's about getting out there and playing competitive cricket, which is why I think this league is the hardest in the world because it's authentic cricket," stated Gambhir. "It is probably closest to international cricket as compared to any other league and if you want to be known as a successful franchise, you should be able to deliver on the cricket field," he stated. Gambhir stated that the players must put in a lot of effort for the team's ardent fan base after KKR finished seventh in the previous season and missed out on the play-offs. "I believe there are ardent supporters. We must tell them the truth. We should probably try to put a smile on their faces because, in my opinion, Kolkata fans have been the most devoted because they have endured a lot over the first three IPL seasons," Gambhir remarked.

A Look Into The Numbers: Steve Smith: Is The "Best Since Bradman" On Decline
During the first Test match against New Zealand in Wellington, star Australian batter Steve Smith continued his downward spiral as an opening batsman. He was removed by Matt Henry for 31 in 71 balls during the first Test, and Kiwi captain Tim Southee later dismissed him for a three-ball duck in the second inning. Smith's lean run, which began right at the beginning of the new ICC World Test Championship cycle, has been further enhanced by this. Smith has scored 12, 11*, 6, 91*, 31, and 0 since the opening, for a total of 151 runs at an average of 37.75 in six innings. Even with such a small sample size, Smith hasn't exactly had his best opening performance. Regarding his total test results since the beginning of the WTC cycle 2023–25, they have been comparatively lackluster for someone who is widely regarded as the standard by which excellence and consistency in tests are measured. Smith has scored only 718 runs at an average of 37.78 across 22 innings in 11 Tests played under the new cycle, with just one century and four fifties. His highest rating is 110.Usman Khawaja (916 runs in 11 matches at an average of 43.61), Zak Crawley of England (808 runs in nine matches at an average of 47.52), and most recently Yashasvi Jaiswal, the young opening sensation from India (971 runs in eight Tests at an average of 69.35), have all scored more runs than him, even though he is still the fourth-highest run scorer in the current cycle.Smith hasn't been able to sustain most of his excellent starts during this time, frequently faltering in his 30s and 40s or failing to reach a century without reaching a half-century. Additionally, Smith's strike rate over this entire period has been 50.42, which is less than his career strike rate of 53.54. His average has also suffered, dropping from 60.04 to 57.52 shortly after he hit the game-winning century against India in the ICC World Test Championship final.

Top-gun is overthrown by Rashid Khan. The third-fastest player to reach 150 IPL wickets is Jasprit Bumrah.
Rashid Khan, the top spinner for Afghanistan, became the third-fastest player to reach 150 Indian Premier League (IPL) wickets, surpassing the mark held by India's top pacer Jasprit Bumrah.Rashid accomplished the historic feat against the Punjab Kings in the Gujarat Titans' season opener.

Here are the new rules for the Indian Premier League in 2025: impact players, two balls, and saliva use.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) met with the captains and referees of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 teams on Thursday.The easing of the saliva ban and the retention of the Impact Player rule were two of the major rule changes that were reviewed and accepted during the meeting, which was place at the BCCI Headquarters in Mumbai. Given that the IPL 2025 season begins on March 22, these new regulations are anticipated to both enhance and somewhat alter the tournament's dynamics. 1. The prohibition on saliva was lifted The removal of the prohibition on using saliva to shine the cricket ball is among the most significant modifications. This prohibition was put in place as part of health and safety procedures during the COVID-19 epidemic. The BCCI has agreed to permit players to utilize saliva once more after deliberations at a recent captains' meeting, when the majority of team captains endorsed the decision. 2. A second ball is introduced. The BCCI will enact a regulation introducing a second ball in the second innings of evening games in an attempt to solve the dew effect that frequently impacts night matches. After the eleventh over, this new ball will enter the game. Depending on the dew conditions, umpires will have the last say over whether a ball change is required. By reducing any advantages captains would obtain from winning, this rule seeks to level the playing field.
Gautam Gambhir is 'in discussion with BCCI' about giving up his leisure time to play cricket for India: "He has stated that he wants to..."
As the India coach sets out on a unique quest, Gautam Gambhir will not have any downtime during the IPL.Players have dispersed to join their various IPL teams after India won the Champions Trophy. The Indian cricket team's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, has other ideas, though. He plans to use his leisure time to improve Indian cricket by managing and leading more A tours. Gambhir has struggled to sustain the team's Test performance since taking over as coach after India won the T20 World Cup last year. India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to Australia after losing a 0–3 thumping at home to New Zealand.Gambhir is taking preemptive measures to avoid a recurrence of recent setbacks during India's forthcoming five-Test series in England, which is scheduled to take place over the next three months. He has stated in discussions with the BCCI that he would like to accompany the India 'A' tour to the UK in order to keep a close eye on up-and-coming players. A tours, which were formerly a common occurrence in Indian cricket, have drastically decreased in recent years, but Gambhir is committed to bringing them back to prominence. In contrast to Rahul Dravid and Ravi Shastri, who choose to take a backseat during the IPL, Gambhir is actively getting ready to captain an India A trip, making sure that up-and-coming players receive the recognition they merit.Since his return from Australia, Gambhir has been in communication with the BCCI. To gain a better understanding of the reserve pool, he has stated that he would like to accompany the India 'A' team on their trip. One may anticipate Gambhir to make more demands in the future given that India won the Champions Trophy as a result of his demands for specific wild card players, according to a source cited by The Times of India.

India's bold strategy aids in a quick T20 reconstruction
The world champions are creating an environment where players perform well without worrying about keeping their spots in the squad or taking wickets.Kolkata: Although it's early, the process and outcomes give hope that India would successfully defend the T20 World Cup at home the following year. Despite the pessimism caused by the Test and ODI transition issues, India's T20 trajectory stands out thanks to series victories against South Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and now England. Even more so when one considers that Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have not been parachuted in.This is most likely a greater accomplishment. However, they have approached it virtually undetected. No culture of stars. Verify. No set order for batting. Verify. Just a group of young, talented, and incredibly self-assured cricket players going about their business without worrying about career curves. By the way, all IPL linchpins.Captain Suryakumar Yadav acknowledges his lack of quality as he is left off the Champions Trophy roster. Abhishek Sharma thinks a ball is there to be struck, hence he doesn't count returns. As long as Tilak Varma is at the crease, the second Twenty20 match in Chennai demonstrated that no equation is too difficult. And the fact that India lost to 12/3 and then 79/5 at Pune on Friday, yet still managed to score 181, demonstrated that the previous game's disaster chasing in Rajkot was really a fluke. The realization that not everything can be managed lies at the core of this long-term upsurge. Earlier this week, Sitanshu Kotak, India's new batting coach, said it. "To achieve a score of 200 or 225, and if you are
Watch: Minutes After Virat Kohli's Dismissal, Delhi Stadium Was Emptied
With just 15 deliveries during his brief stint at the crease, Virat Kohli only managed one boundaries.Himanshu Sangwan removed Virat Kohli for just six runs on Friday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, ending his eagerly awaited return to the Ranji Trophy. A ball before he was dismissed, Kohli displayed a flash of his genius with a stunning straight drive off Sangwan. But the very next delivery proved to be lethal; it was slanted in on a fullish length just outside off, and when Kohli tried to drive but failed to leave a space between bat and pad, the ball seamed in sharply. The bails flew as the delivery sped through, clipping the off-stump. In addition to taking the coveted wicket, Sangwan witnessed the stadium quickly fill up, making it a memorable experience.Only 15 deliveries were made during Kohli's brief stint at the crease, and he only managed one boundary. Delhi was at 87/3 after his removal, still 140 runs behind Railways.It was a letdown for the thousands of spectators who had gathered at the stadium anticipating a masterclass from Kohli. There is always hope for atonement, though, as Kohli will have another chance to leave his mark if Delhi is granted a second innings.
Third T20I: India in trouble after two quick wickets; the onus is on Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya
India lost Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma in the powerplay as they chased a target of 172 in the third Twenty20 International between India and England.3rd T20I between India and England, LIVE Updates: India, chasing 172, lost openers Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson early. at the third Twenty20 International at Rajkot, England achieved 171/9 in 20 overs thanks to an incredible five-wicket haul from India's Varun Chakravarthy. Ben Duckett, who was not sold in the IPL 2025 auction, hammered a half-century, while Liam Livingstone, a star for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), also scored a useful 43 off 24 balls. In between, Chakravarthy ran wild, even going on a hat-trick at one point, as England lost seven wickets in seven overs. After 14 months, pacer Mohammed Shami returned to the Indian team and went wicketless. With a 2-0 series advantage going into the match, India is looking to finish the series.
Rahul Dravid 'interfered' during the 'destroyed' career of Sanju Samson: "You are the object of their jealousy; tu chinta mat kar."
According to the India batter's father, Rahul Dravid supported Sanju Samson after a career setback.It is now well known that Sanju Samson and the Kerala Cricket Association are still at odds. Samson's father has made grave accusations against the association, turning the feud—which initially gained public attention when he was left out of Kerala's Vijay Hazare Trophy squad—into a full-fledged fight. Viswanath, Samson's father, accused KCA of exposing certain "small people" within the organization and ruining his son's career. Samson's father talked extensively about how KCA planned conspiracies against his son in a heated exchange with Sports Tak.Samson and Kerala have a history of turbulent relations. They actually go all the way back to Samson's preteen years. Viswanath claims that since Samson was eleven years old, the KCA has been determined to ruin his career. But despite everything that was going on, Samson Viswanath says his kid was relieved when 'The Wall' Rahul Dravid stepped in. Sanju Samson's father described how Dravid's "interference" helped him resurrect his career and how the former India captain's actions opened the door to a bright future for his son.
Mohammed Shami is not in the starting lineup for the first England T20I. According to Suryakumar Yadav, "We Want To..."
The inability of star bowler Mohammed Shami to make the squad was a major surprise in terms of India's playing XI.In Wednesday's first Twenty20 International at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, India captain Suryakumar Yadav chose to bowl against England after winning the toss. The fact that fast pacer Mohammed Shami was left off of India's starting XI, however, was a major surprise. Before Suryakumar broke the startling news, Shami, who last played for India in November 2023, was spotted bowling in the nets before the toss. India captain Suryakumar stated that he wished to focus on his team's strengths when discussing the playing XI."We'll try bowling first. There will be dew later; the wicket appears to be sticky. Later on, it will be heavier. The boys have been outstanding. I am looking forward to this series, and the preparations have gone well. The fight between the two teams will be fierce. We want to focus on our strengths, so it's a good headache," Suryakumar stated during the toss.It seems like a fantastic surface, and I have no doubt that the match will be enjoyable. Some dew will be present. It's a fantastic field, and playing against India under these circumstances is an honor. Everyone is doing well. We have a lot to look forward to, and it's good to be together. McCullum, who has a great deal of expertise, is in command. We are well prepared for the challenge that lies ahead. On both sides, there is some amazing ability. Rehan Ahmed, Jamie Smith, Brydon Carse, and Saqib Mahmood will not play," said England captain Jos Buttler.India (playing XI): Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Sanju Samson (w), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), and Abhishek Sharma Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (w), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Gus Atkinson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, and Mark Wood are the players for England in the starting lineup.
Rishabh Pant appointed as captain of Lucknow Super Giants for IPL 2025: 'His nicknames would be linked to Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni'
Rishabh Pant has become oficial captain of Lucknow Super Giants for the IPL 2025.Rishabh Pant, el jugador más caro en la historia de la auction de la Premier League de India, has sido designado como captain de Lucknow Super Giants para el IPL 2025. The proclama fue emitida on Monday. Pant estableció un récord durante el mega auction in November del año pasado, donde LSG co-fundador Sanjiv Goenka obtuvo sus servicios por un monto nunca antes visto de ₹27 crore.Considerando his prestigio e inversión, parecía ineludible que Pant asumiera la responsabilidad de liderar. A pesar de que Pant's IPL 2024 temporada con Delhi Capitals resultó ser decepcionante, clasificándose en la sexta posición, Lucknow Super Giants, que se ubicaron justo por debajo en la séptima, confían en el 27-year-old para guiarlos hacia una temporada de éxito. "Considero que Rishabh Pant va a terminar como uno de los mejores captains de IPL alguna vez." "After 10-12 años, he would be linked to MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma," declaró Goenka.Rishabh Pant busca un comienzo renovado. Pant asume el cargo de captain de KL Rahul, aportando un renovado sentido de energía y propósito a los Lucknow Super Giants. Determinado a realizar un vigoroso retorno, Pant tiene mucho por demostrar tras superar un periodo difícil. He no participó en muchas acciones, recuperando en 2023 de un accidente de coche que resultó mortal, y batallando en the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, consiguiendo menos de 200 runs en 10 innings con apenas un medio siglo. Naturalmente, Pant would aprovechar la serie de blancos frente a England y la Champions Trophy para recuperar su forma antes del inicio de la IPL.

Irfan Pathan confirms a huge team hotel claim without mentioning Virat Kohli.
Irfan Pathan, a former fast bowler for India, stated that when he said that not all Indian players stayed together in the team hotel during their tour of Australia, he was not referring to Virat Kohli. Following the dismal tour of Australia, the BCCI set a strict 10-point disciplinary guideline for the senior men's national team.The current generation of players did not stay in the same team hotel during the just finished Test series in Australia, according to World Cup-winning former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, who has emphasized the value of team bonding on overseas trips. After a fan on social media conjectured about a hidden message in his post on X, formerly Twitter, Pathan clarified that his comments were not meant for Virat Kohli. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a strict 10-point disciplinary guideline not long before Pathan made his comments. The rules, which India Today was able to access, highlight the board's focus on performance and discipline following India's catastrophic 2024–25 Test season. Family travel restrictions, baggage limits, and the requirement that players play domestic cricket in order to be considered for selection are some of the measures.In the past, even the best players shared hotels with the rest of the Indian squad. In the first place, how was it permitted to remain in a different hotel? Pathan said.
Prior to the England white ball tour, Sitanshu Kotak was appointed as the batting coach for the Indian squad.
