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.

Highlights of India vs. New Zealand, First Test, Day 1 Rain in Bengaluru Causes Day Off Without Throw
New Zealand versus India Highlights: Play on the first day of the first Test match between India and New Zealand was halted by persistent rain on Wednesday.New Zealand versus India Highlights, Day 1 of the First Test: On the first day of the first Test match between India and New Zealand, play was halted by persistent rain on Wednesday. Heavy rain that had been letting up for around 30 minutes earlier forced the cancellation of the play at 2:34 PM at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Around 1:30 PM, the outfield and first layer of covers were taken off, and at 2:00 PM, the match officials emerged to examine the field. Hessians were brought out in a last-ditch effort to get some playing time, but there were sizable moist patches on either side of the field. (SCORECARD)Bengaluru Weather LIVE Updates: Due to heavy rain, the first day of the India vs. New Zealand Test match has been canceled. The BCCI has formally stated that tomorrow's match would start fifteen minutes earlier than planned. India, headed by Rohit Sharma, will play New Zealand in the first of three Test series matches in Bengaluru starting Wednesday. The blue-clad team has won six straight Test matches, including a historic triumph in Kanpur against Bangladesh.An Indian side that is highly strong in their home country will make New Zealand nervous, as they recently suffered a crushing defeat in Sri Lanka. In the meantime, Tom Latham will spearhead the Kiwis' attack in this series since captain Kane Williamson is sidelined due to an injury.This is essentially the same Indian team that was chosen for the just finished Bangladesh Test series, with Akash Deep trailing Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah as the top pacers. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, two young batsmen, will try to maintain their incredible performances in the game's longest batting session.Virat: All eyes are on Rohit. In order to quiet the increasingly outspoken critics of their recent performance, captain Rohit Sharma and seasoned batsman Virat Kohli will be looking to score some runs in this series. In the six innings he has played this year, Kohli has failed to reach a half-century, while the Indian captain has amassed 497 runs at an average of almost 35, including two hundreds and one fifty. India team: Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Sharma (C), and Axar Patel.

India is overwhelmed by the mayhem at the Sharjah extravaganza.
It seemed like a dream you hoped would linger longer long before the cloud of sadness descended. As the sun set, the fans—nearly 15,000 of whom were in Sharjah—rushed through the turnstiles, raucous and ecstatic, yelling, singing, waving, and doing anything they could to catch Jemi, Harry Di, or Smriti's eye.It appeared that the days of cramming a stand with schoolchildren and giving out free sandwiches were long gone. It felt like the beginning of a new era, with all of that apathy and systemic indifference (at least in part) behind us. Now, the rocket just needed that fuel to get into orbit.For India to move from being a contender to a champion, they needed that boost. Even if their captain is walking on crutches and moonwalkers, they still need to play like one against the genuine ones, who know how to end games from difficult scenarios. The stage could hardly have been more magnificent for India.The commotion, commotion, color, and craziness were chaotic yet magnificent. Security officers who were accustomed to watching four administrators and five ground crew members argue over countless cups of Irani chai had never experienced such a last-minute tussle, where all pre-match procedures, including complex security measures, needed to be practiced.With good cause, this India vs. Australia encounter was billed as the tournament's main event. It all deserved a thriller because of its grandeur. We also got one. However, it seemed inevitable that the rock stars, who were the main attraction, would end their show in the middle of their performance. Unless Monday night is when Pakistan plays the match of their lives.India's jigsaw was clinically disassembled by Australia, leaving them with a number of problems and few answers. The captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, was devastated and appeared exhausted, both emotionally and physically, as he struggled to breathe in the unbearable October heat. India had Australia on the ropes, as they have on a few occasions, despite all the failed run-out opportunities and dropped catches, as well as the confusion surrounding Asha Sobhana's one-leg hobble shortly before the game, which nobody appeared to take seriously enough at first. Consider the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in Cape Town last year or, more recently, the T20I series in Navi Mumbai in December. Australia momentarily faltered despite India's wobble in the top order, which was caused by the absence of Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues. The opposing duo of Harmanpreet and Deepti Sharma brought India
India vs. Bangladesh Kanpur nets cues for the second test Bumrah and Axar's troubles against Virat Kohli, and Bangladesh's Shakib dilemma
Jasprit Bumrah bowled Virat Kohli in the nets with about 15 deliveries under the sweltering sun at Kanpur's Green Park Stadium, and he "got him out" four times.When Kohli hit his signature cover drive on the next ball, the local cops, grounds crew, and a few journalists in the stands went crazy. Bumrah retreated and bowled at the fourth stump line, but Kohli edged it because the length was shorter this time.After that, Bumrah switched his assault to the middle and leg stumps, outwitting Kohli twice in a row. After the inside edge struck the pads on both occasions, the ball lobbed. After giving him a smile and teasing him, Bumrah said, "Aakhiri wala toh short leg ka catch tha (The short leg could have catched the last one)." Kohli grinned and went to the parallel net, where Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin were bowling.Kohli's difficulties against spinners have gained notoriety in the recent past. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, an off-spinner, dismissed him for 17 in Chennai, making it the 18th occasion since 2021 that Kohli was dismissed by spinners. In the Kanpur nets, he was having trouble against the Indian spin trio as well, particularly the two left-arm spinners. In an attempt to play inside-out against Jadeja, Kohli missed three straight and appeared frustrated. But what really caught people's attention was when Axar took out the master batsman through the fence. Before Shubman Gill replaced him in the nets, that was the final ball that Kohli played.Shakib is available and fit. During Bangladesh's morning practice, Shakib Al Hasan padded up and faced the local spinners for five to seven minutes on two separate occasions. He stormed off in anger both times, heading for the Bangladeshi dressing room. Shakib bowled only 21 overs in Chennai, going wicketless, and scored 32 and 25 in Bangladesh’s 280-run loss. In the 53rd over of India's opening session, he came into the game. During the broadcast, Murali Kartik mentioned that Shakib had informed him about his shoulder and finger tingling.On Wednesday, though, Bangladesh's head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe played down worries about Shakib's fitness following his finger injury in Chennai. I have not heard from my physiotherapist or anybody else at this time. "He remains qualified for selection," Hathurusinghe informed the press.

The newly set records from the 2024 T20 World Cup
Notwithstanding the bowling prowess, there was a lot of big hitting; with 1,478, 2024 surpassed 2021's 1,349 boundaries to record the most in a T20 World Cup edition to date.

Sourav Ganguly feels the impact player for the IPL should be disclosed at toss.

On the fringes of the Blue Ocean Corporation's International Procurement and Supply Chain Conference, Ganguly told the journalists, "The fences should go a little behind."It's a fantastic competition. With the impact player, your sole option is to make your decision prior to the toss, thus some skill is required there."So, disclose the impact player beforehand since it would need a lot of talent and strategy. But as for the impact player, I am all for it," the former captain of India stated. Ganguly supported Prithvi Shaw, who had a poor IPL season this year, pointing out that he is still a young player still getting used to the shorter format. "Prithvi Shaw is a small child. He's only twenty-three. He's still getting the hang of T20 cricket. He has a great deal of skill and will only grow better. Sometimes we ask too much of people too soon, and I'm confident Prithvi will succeed given his skill set," he continued.

As he looks to return home from Tripura, Ganguly also hoped that India's wicketkeeper-batter, Wriddhiman Saha, would be selected by the Bengal selectors.He is right to want to play for Bengal. "He is a Bengali boy," stated Ganguly. "He was playing professionally in Tripura, so he moved there for two years. Now that he has completed it, he wishes to be in Bengal. He will definitely be chosen by the selectors for Bengal. "At this time, I'm not participating in Bengal cricket. When I completed (my) BCCI, I did not run for president (stint). I simply took a little vacation. They will carry out the decision made by the officials and selectors," he continued.
