For the 17th season in a row, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ended their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign trophyless. The 6 consecutive wins feat seemed to have brought a never-seen-before hunger in the Bengaluru franchise but Rajasthan Royals ended their winning streak with an impressive victory in the Eliminator on Wednesday. Seeing Kohli end another season trophy-less, former England captain Kevin Pietersen urged the talismanic batter leave RCB and join his hometown club Delhi Capitals in the pursuit of title.
Former Australian cricket team batter Justin Langer was one of the names that were being considered to be frontrunners in the race to become India's next head coach. The BCCI were reportedly looking at several options to replace Rahul Dravid as his contract will end after the upcoming T20 World Cup. However, Langer has opted out of the race as he said that these kinds of jobs can be 'exhausting' and he also mentioned a conversation with KL Rahul during their time with Lucknow Super Giants during IPL 2024. Langer revealed that Rahul told him that the 'politics and pressure' faced by the Indian cricket team head coach is almost 'a thousand times' that of any IPL coach.
Indian pugilists will be determined to overcome the recent setbacks both inside and outside the boxing ring when they aim for the last available tickets to the Olympic Games at the second World Qualification Tournament, starting on Friday. Up until the last qualifying event, Indian boxers had four quotas but in an unprecedented embarrassment, that number is now down to three after women's 57kg holder Parveen Hooda was handed a 22-month ban for whereabouts failure this month. The boxers' performance at the previous world qualifiers in March was dismal to say the least with only 2023 World Championship bronze medallist Nishant Dev moving past the opening round.
A British Indian, Trishan Patel, has joined the Pakistan football squad as assistant coach and performance analyst in Islamabad.
Star batter Virat Kohli was visibly dejected after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru crashed out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) following the defeat to Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator on Wednesday. RCB's six-game winning-run was abruptly halted in Ahmedabad with the franchise once again missing out on the chance to lift the title. Kohli had a stellar season with the bat, scoring 741 runs in 15 matches. While it is highly likely that Kohli will take home the Orange Cap, an IPL trophy remains elusive for the former RCB captain.
Former England spinner Graeme Swann has backed India's decision to take four spinners for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies. India took a lot of people by surprise by picking four spinners during their announcement for the 15-player squad of the upcoming marquee event, kicking off on June 1. During the press conference earlier this month, India skipper Rohit Sharma revealed that he wanted four spinners in the squad for the highly-anticipated tournament. Some sections of fans and former cricketers have questioned India's decision to take four spinners for the tournament. But Swann believes that India made the right call of picking four spinners in their 15-player squad. "I think taking four spinners is absolutely the way to go in the Caribbean, and I think you should never question that," Swann told ANI.
Legendary Indian cricket team batter Kris Srikkanth had a blunt advice for Royal Challengers Bengaluru after the Faf Du Plessis-led side lost to Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2024 Eliminator on Thursday. RCB were outplayed completely by RR who claimed a four-wicket victory. It was the end of an impressive campaign which saw RCB bounce back from a horrible start with six victories on the trot including a sensational win over Chennai Super Kings in their final league game. Srikkanth said that RCB celebrated way too much after beating CSK and advised them to stay quiet when they are enjoying success.
