The science underlying Hardik Pandya's trademark no-look sixes and his bent bat
When Hardik Pandya knocks his signature no-look sixes, he does so with a casual demeanor; his timing, skill, and power make it appear effortless. His front-curved bat, a novel invention that has been around for a while but has mostly gone unnoticed, helps the star clear the rope.The groundbreaking "bat tweak" started in the 1990s when Sachin Tendulkar asked his bat manufacturer a question. He had seen that after a while of use, his bats would have a wonderful sweet spot—the wood would get compressed, giving the willow a "good dent." Tendulkar said, "Is it possible to have a readymade sweet spot?" The bats were no longer flat as a cutting board, and the response was "yes." They were convex as well.Hardik is a leading contender in the arms battle among six-hitters thanks to his abilities, conditioning, and bat. His bat has about 200 percent more curve than the competition, according to Sanspareils Greenlands (SG), a manufacturer based in Meerut.Hardik has two requirements: the ball must strike the sweet point of the curve and take off at the exact angle that will allow it to travel the furthest. As an SG engineer notes, it's all about the physics. The ball must take off from the bat at a 45-degree angle in order for its trajectory to form a perfect parabola in the air and travel the farthest. The batsman has a better chance of obtaining the perfect angle when the willow is bent.The throwing wedge on golf clubs has an angle that provides elevation. With the curve's assistance, we were able to provide an excellent angle. When struck with the proper force at a 45-degree angle, it travels over 90 meters. Here, that is the science. The ball is lofted by the curve. Anand remarked, "Hardik worked that out."To illustrate the workings of their Arc series bat, the SG engineers draw schematics on their notebooks and use 3D animation on their laptops. Few are longtime employees who have worked at the company for more than ten years and are unwilling to be identified. They are assets that the business cannot afford to lose or identify in a highly competitive market. One may comprehend why T20 cricket has turned into a batsman's game just listening to them. They discuss how the bat's surface lengthens and the sweet spot enlarges as the curve's degree increases.In comparison to a flat bat, a bat with a longitudinal curve has a longer surface if you measure along the curve, such as with a string. The sweet spot or high-performing zone expands as a result of this increased surface area. This implies that even with imperfect timing, the bat has more "forgiving space" to hit the ball accurately. According to a mechanical engineer who serves as Hardik's sounding board, "curving the bat helps increase the area where you get powerful, clean shots."

Axar Patel leads DC to a decisive victory over Rishabh Pant's LSG on a night that contrasts for the captains.
Returning to Lucknow for the first time since his unsatisfactory dismissal from the team, KL Rahul ended the game with a spectacular six to go undefeated in a run-chase with a 42-ball 57.On a night full of stories at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium, the Delhi Capitals won by 8 wickets in a 160-run chase, solidifying their status as this season's title contenders. KL Rahul, who is making his first appearance in Lucknow after his unsatisfactory dismissal from the team, ended the game with a spectacular six to go undefeated in a run chase with a 42-ball 57. In the twelfth over of their respective innings, LSG and DC both lost their second wicket. Axar Patel entered when a composed Abishek Porel collapsed. At this point, DC was only under a little pressure to take a few wickets, but it might have grown complicated because new batters take time to get comfortable. With two sixes over the midwicket zone, his favorite hit against spin, Axar took out Ravi Bishnoi in the very next over after Avesh Khan had dismissed him after four dot balls.In the following over, facing Avesh once more after being outscored by a few deliveries, he decided to take a chance and hit a four to try to clear the fielder at mid-off. The most impressive stroke came from Shardul Thakur, who took up a not-so-short ball with the weight still on his backfoot and sent it over long on for a six.

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.

Following a defeat, LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka reconvenes with skipper KL Rahul. Overuse of the Internet
The Lucknow Super Giants no longer control their own destiny in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 play-off competition. The LSG lead by KL Rahul are all but eliminated from the IPL playoff race with their Tuesday loss to the Delhi Capitals. Since the last few days, LSG has been the subject of bad press, especially in relation to its owner Sanjiv Goenka. It resulted from an animated conversation that was captured on camera with Rahul following LSG's defeat to SunRisers Hyderabad. Huge trolling resulted from it.With only 12 points from 13 games, the LSG's run-rate is appalling. It dropped to -0.769 following their 10-wicket loss against SunRisers Hyderabad. Following their defeat at DC, it dropped to -0.787. Out of the four clubs vying for the fourth berth, they have the lowest run rate. They are virtually eliminated from the playoff race.Following their most recent defeat, Goenka and Rahul were pictured once more. It was, however, completely unanimated. Throughout the play against DC, the camera nearly always panned towards Goenka anytime KL Rahul did something noteworthy or went loose. His response went viral throughout the game. An online photo of the two having supper together before the match also went viral.Following the 2024 IPL Delhi Caps defeat against the Lucknow Super Giants, KL Rahul was spotted talking with LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka. Both GT and RCB are clearly the best options for KL Rahul should he decide to leave LSG at the end of this season. /vxIFlCvu2g pic.twitter.com/DCVLSG #IPL2024
Five openers who are changing T20 cricket in the IPL 2024
What is the connection between Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Jake Fraser-McGurk? In the Indian Premier League (IPL) for 2024, all three of the openers have strike rates more than 200. More than 12 runs per over, that is. Additionally, they have healthy averages of 41, 53, and 36, respectively, indicating that they have made significant runs—not just cameos—contributing to the team.With strike rates of 183 and 182, respectively, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) openers Sunil Narine and Phil Salt are a little lower than the other three. However, their methods and outcomes are comparable. Their respective healthy averages are 38 and 40.The carefree mindset exhibited by these batsmen has altered anticipations regarding the potential of Twenty20 cricket. On strong batting surfaces, one can expect scores of over 240 in 20 overs at a rate of 12 an over, and over 90 in the 6-over powerplay at a rate of 15 an over.It's no longer unusual to swing the bat from the opening ball of the inning in a baseball fashion. With the exception of bowler-friendly wickets that challenge batting technique, the traditional elbows-up approach is disappearing.Power hitters are warming up for sixes rather than boundaries during practice. To continue pounding the ball for extended periods of time, they are also developing their muscle memory.
PM Modis response to the query about the Indian cricket coach; plus more
Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that "it is my resolve" that "I will not do Hindu-Muslim" and that "the day I do Hindu-Muslim, I will be unworthy of public life" on the day he submitted his nomination from Varanasi. These statements followed his criticism of the Congress a few days prior, when he remarked, "Muslims have the first claim to the nation's resources... They will distribute (this riches) to infiltrators and those with more offspring.In the meantime, BJP president J P Nadda has not only defended every one of PM Modi's utterances in response to the Election Commission's complaint from opposition parties that the PM's speeches were divisive, but he has also asked the EC to take action against the Congress for allegedly demeaning Hinduism.This time, there is an added twist to the Amethi contest: a match between a Union minister and a so-called "chaprasi (peon)". If K L Sharma's commitment to Gandhi represents both his strongest and weakest parts, then BJP workers whisper about Smriti Irani's "high handedness" and the potential consequences for them.In Mumbai's Ghatkopar neighborhood on Monday night, a massive billboard collapsed, leaving 14 people dead and 75 injured. However, city authorities had red-marked it more than a year earlier, and nothing had been done about it.

You need to change with the times, Shastri supports the Impact Player regulation.
Shastri supports the Impact Player rule, saying that one must change with the times.Some current players and coaches in the IPL are not too fond of the Impact Player rule, however former India coach Ravi Shastri supports it, citing the rule's role in some exciting endings."It's a good rule, the Impact Player rule. On his YouTube channel, Shastri said to R Ashwin, "You have to change with the times." It's true that similar incidents occur in other sports. Its finishes are more precise. I believe that it's a good rule to adapt to the times you live in. You witnessed how many close calls we had in the Indian Premier League last year. Thus, it has indeed made a significant difference.While some believe the rule hinders the growth of allrounders, including as India captain Rohit Sharma, Ashwin gave the example of Dhruv Jurel, who started as an Impact Player in the IPL 2023 and made his Test debut for India a year later."Any new rule that is implemented will inevitably result in...People will attempt to defend why that is incorrect, Shastri stated. "But in time when you see the scores - 200 and 190 - and then like you mentioned individuals grabbing that opportunity and making the most of it, people will start re-looking at how they think about it."The BCCI secretary, Jay Shah, stated last week that the Impact Player rule is "not permanent" and that a decision regarding its use in future IPL seasons will be made following a meeting with relevant parties following the 2024 T20 World Cup."A test case is similar to Impact Player. We have been gradually implementing it. The most significant benefit of it is that two Indian players are getting a chance [in every game], as Shah had stated to media on Thursday at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai. "We'll take a call and confer with the broadcasters, players, and teams. Although I'm not claiming it will last, this is not permanent."We'll see if it increases the level of competition in the game or not. We will speak with a gamer even in that case if they believe that something is wrong. However, as of now, no one has informed us, therefore the decision will be made following the World Cup."The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 competition allowed teams to substitute a player from the original XI announced at the toss with a 12th player at any time during a match. Rohit was the first well-known Indian player to criticize the rule, which was introduced to the IPL in 2023.Delhi Capitals (DC) players Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar were among those who spoke out against the rule. Still, DC head coach Ricky Ponting had expressed his satisfaction with the IPL keeping the Impact Player if it was contributing to a "better spectacle" during the competition. However, he acknowledged that as a coach, he wasn't too fond of the regulation, referring to it as a "nightmare".

T20 World Cup 2024 Six key worries for Team India before to the competition
17 years have passed since India's thrilling victory in the first-ever ICC Men's T20 World Cup in South Africa, which heralded in a new era for cricket. However, the Men in Blue have failed to win a second title in the format that India has shaped more than any other (mostly because of the IPL) since then. Here are Team India's top worries ahead of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which will be held in the US and the West Indies in less than a month.1. With whom should Rohit Sharma open with? Making the most of deliveries for your best batsmen is essential in Twenty20 cricket. India should seriously contemplate starting their innings with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in light of this tactic. Even if Indian captain Rohit Sharma appears to be heading in the wrong direction, it's possible that Yashasvi Jaiswal will take his place at the top, with Kohli holding onto his position at number three, which he has held for the previous ten years.Even though Kohli has only made nine appearances as the opener in Twenty20 Internationals, he has an outstanding 57.14 average and a 161.29 strike rate. Kohli has been a fixture at the top for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for almost ten years, scoring more runs than any other player in that capacity. Notably, opening the innings was when Kohli scored his lone T20I century for India.In light of the anticipated slower pitches, particularly in the US, Rohit and Kohli's partnership provides a combination of skill and experience. It does not, however, have the left-handed component that Jaiswal adds.2. The absence of Rinku Singh and Shubman Gill from the squad Shubman Gill is the leading run scorer in the 2023 IPL. His exclusion may come as a surprise at first, but a comparison of his T20 acceleration rates with Jaiswal's clarifies the choice. far if neither Jaiswal nor Gill are lighting up the IPL this year, Rinku Singh's absence is far more noticeable. Rinku's versatility in places and propensity to smash sixes would make his absence felt, especially in high-scoring chases like many IPL games. He has averaged 89 and struck rate of 176 in his 11 T20I innings for India. Gill and Rinku would have surely made the team if Virat and Rohit had both given up on T20 cricket. Time will tell whether or whether the3. Will SKY be able to show why he should be on the team? It makes no sense that the world's best men's T20I bowler is not in the World Cup team. According to the most recent results, Suryakumar Yadav is far ahead of second-placed Phil Salt, with a lead of 59 points. But SKY's form has been all over the place, even though he had a great hundred against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL. Also, memories of last year's 50-over World Cup are still very fresh, especially of the final, where SKY had a hard time against Australia's attack. If India chooses to start with Jaiswal and Rohit, SKY may be under more pressure because he won't get as many deliveries to get used to the ball since Kohli is set to bat at number three. Even so, if the 33-year-old finds

On Monday, BCCI released India's jersey for the main event. The uniform that the team captained by Rohit Sharma wore at the 2023 ODI World Cup has undergone significant alteration. This time, orange and blue tones are very noticeable. But this new jersey has also sparked an internet meme frenzy, with some fans seeing comparisons to the well-known comedy series Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma.Fans shared some video from the program on X (previously Twitter) as soon as the jersey was released, showing the characters wearing very identical attire.On the official Adidas website, the jersey costs Rs 5999 for a standard size. It's interesting that travel from Delhi to Goa this month can be done for less money. The cost of tickets from Delhi to Goa was estimated by several well-known travel booking websites to be less than Rs 5500 in the upcoming month.Sportswear company Adidas used social media to give fans a first look at the official jersey. Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team, was shown in the video with Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja.The team led by Rohit Sharma will don the jersey in an attempt to end India's cricketing skid in ICC competitions. The last time India won the ICC Trophy was in 2013, while MS Dhoni's captaincy. Since then, India has been in the running for the Champions Trophy, the World Test Championship, the ODI World Cup, and the T20 World Cup, but has fallen short each time.
BCCI Sets "Only Condition" For Team India To Fly To Pakistan For Champions Trophy 2025
The last bilateral series between the two countries took place in India in December 2012–January 2013. Only at ICC events and the Asia Cup have the two countries faced off since then.Vice-President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Rajeev Shukla, stated that the Indian team will only travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy the next year if the permission of the national government is granted. The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will take place in Pakistan in February and March of the following year. This occurs in the midst of rumors in the media that India would skip the tournament in Pakistan. India hasn't participated in any cricket competitions in Pakistan since the 2008 Asia Cup because of the hostile relations between the two countries brought on by terrorism.The last bilateral series between the two countries took place in India in December 2012–January 2013. Only at ICC events and the Asia Cup have the two countries faced off since then.Shukla stated to the ANI, "We will follow the Government of India's instructions about the Champion Trophy. Only with approval from the Indian government do we dispatch our team. Thus, we shall proceed in accordance with the Indian government's decision. "When hosting the Asia Cup last year, Pakistan was forced to employ a hybrid approach because all of India's games—including those against Pakistan—took place in Sri Lanka. Colombo hosted the tournament final, which India won. While Pakistan had made passing references to the idea of taking a hybrid strategy to the ODI World Cup in India the year before, it was never really considered. They ended up playing every game in India at five separate venues before they were eliminated in the group stages.As ESPNcricinfo revealed earlier in May, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided that Lahore will be the only venue for India matches for the Champions Trophy that Pakistan has been given for the upcoming year.Three locations—Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi—have been reserved by PCB to host the two-week Champions Trophy, according to ESPNcricinfo. The final will be held in Lahore, where all of India's games would be played according to their draft schedule.The concept of consolidating India into one location is rumored to have been proposed in order to minimize logistical and security risks associated with their journey. Additionally, because its headquarters are in Lahore, which is close to the Wagah border crossing between the two nations, it offers Indian fans a somewhat easy choice for where to come.Prior to this, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi stated that the board had provided the ICC a draft schedule for the competition, which is anticipated to take place in mid-February of the following year. The eight participating members will debate it, with the India team's trip itinerary probably becoming the main cause of contention.
In Mumbai, Pandya transforms from the biggest opponent to the beloved figure once more.
Welcome to the Daily Review System, or DRS, a special section of our website. InsideSport will give you the best IPL stories from the previous day that you might have missed in the rush of your hectic schedule.At the Wankhede Stadium, the Mumbai Indians dominated Sunrisers Hyderabad by winning by seven wickets. It was a fantastic performance. Before this game, captain Hardik Pandya was off of form, but he settled into his bowling rhythm and took three wickets in an economical stint. In the run-chase, Suryakumar Yadav showed himself to be the ever-dependable player by persevering through the discomfort to get the team over the finish line.However, Rohit Sharma's dismal performance in the IPL 2024 carried over into the forthcoming T20 World Cup, raising doubts about his abilities. With their batting and bowling going awry on Monday, there wasn't much that went right for SRH. Because of the unpredictable nature of the Indian Premier League, it is difficult to forecast which side will win. In light of that, let's examine some of the captivating headlines from a thrilling match on Monday.Not long after the announcement of India's T20 World Cup roster, an odd trend started to take shape. Of course, it was more for the LOLs on WhatsApp groups and social media, but several players on that 15-man team started struggling in the 2024 Indian Premier League. In the games that followed the team announcement, Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh each allowed more than 50 runs, while Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Suryakumar Yadav fell cheaply while Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube all grabbed ducks. Jasprit Bumrah was the anomaly there too, much as he has been with the Mumbai Indians throughout the season.Up to Monday. Up until that point, Suryakumar's eight innings had seen him score a lackluster 232 runs. Then, against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he displayed his brilliant, classic boundary striking, dispelling all doubts about his form ahead of the T20 World Cup in 2024.It was before Suryakumar's fireworks that there was a true reversal of that World Cup-bound players' tendency, as Hardik claimed the best figures of the evening with 3 for 31. That demonstrated encouraging signals of his ability to take wickets, his level of fitness, and the potential that he may be the fifth bowler in the India XI when the World Cup rolls around next month. When India plays two spinners and two quicks, Hardik, who was a key player in the ODI World Cup six months prior, will be the third pace-bowling option and finisher in the Indian XI. Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar once said that there is "no replacement" for Hardik, thus his bowling form and fitness would have given him and the team management a great deal of confidence.Hardik bowled his allotted overs in three consecutive games on Monday, which is encouraging for the all-round player who returned to the game following a lengthy hiatus due to an ankle ailment. Hardik has taken seven wickets in those three games in all phases of the game: one during the powerplay, five during the middle overs (7-8), and one during the final overs (17–20). And he has accomplished this by using a range of deliveries from his arsenal, based on the hitters and the pitching conditions.He initially sent Sunil Narine back in the powerplay against Kolkata Knight Riders, and then he got rid of Manish Pandey by taking the pace off a cutter that the batsman misplayed to extra cover. A week ago, Hardik continued to aim for the hard length with a relatively fresh ball when bowling against the Lucknow Super Giants, causing KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda to misjudge their shots. But Hardik's three-for against SRH would have been even more satisfying because it helped MI win handily after four straight losses. As soon as the powerplay finished, Hardik entered the game and attempted to hit difficult lengths and get the ball to nip around.He remarked at the presentation, "I like bowling to the areas and seeing what the situation requires [me to do]." "If the wicket has grip, I do it, if not, like today, I tHe remarked at the presentation, "I like bowling to the areas and seeing what the situation requires [me to do]." "If the wicket has grip, I do it, if not, like today, I thought the ball was nipping around and bowling at the right areas would be a right option and I think it worked."hought the ball was nipping around and bowling at the right areas would be a right option and I think it worked."
Mumbai Indians respond to the est Jasprit Bumrah movement before the T20 World Cup, knowing that they will definitely be eliminated from the IPL in 2024.
The Mumbai Indians, who are in danger of losing, finally spoke up when asked if they intended to rest Jasprit Bumrah in light of the T20 World Cup.The Mumbai Indians are expected to make an immediate exit from the Indian Premier League in 2024, and supporters have been pleading with the team to rest important players like Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah before the T20 World Cup. With players like Rohit, Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav expected to be major contributors for India at the Twenty20 World Cup, it is illogical to keep MI's star players going unless they want to extend their campaign, as they are currently bottom of the table with six points from 11 games.It won't be long before some of the top Indian players from the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru board the first group of players—which includes the players who were eliminated—leave for the USA on May 21. Because of this, resting Bumrah, particularly at this stage, might be a win-win situation with three games left. Before his team's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, MI all-rounder Naman Dhir had a press conference. He disclosed that the fans' present way of thinking does not align with the MI think tank.As of right now, nothing like that is taking place. Though nothing of this like has been mentioned, the team management ultimately has the last say," he stated.The India quick's tie for the Purple Cap is one of the main reasons MI and Bumrah himself would be eager to continue. Bumrah and Punjab Kings' Harshal Patel are tied at 17 wickets apiece, but both teams are expected to end the season soon. This is true even if Bumrah hasn't typically started MI's bowling matches. With the exception of a few matches in which he was thoroughly outclassed for runs, Bumrah's IPL experience has been really pleasant. Just what India needed to give herself a boost.

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.
