During the clash against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2024 on Saturday, Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Sunil Narine became the third cricketer to smash 400 runs and grab 15 wickets in a single season of the cash-rich league after Shane Watson and Jacque Kallis. A fantastic comeback effort by KKR spinners helped derail MI run-chase of 158 runs, restricting them to 139/8 in 16 overs in the IPL 2024 clash at Eden Gardens on Saturday and made the two-time champions the first team to reach the playoffs.

Former India opener Virender Sehwag slammed Mumbai Indians' (MI) batting duo Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav for taking too long to get set and then giving their wicket away without making any significant contribution in the IPL 2024 match against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Delhi Capitals all-rounder Tristan Stubbs has revealed that Kuldeep Yadav does not bowl to him in the nets. “He won't bowl to me, I have tried a few times to go face him but he won't bowl to me,' said Tristan Stubbs to The Grade Cricketer podcast.

Gill did not find a place in the 15-man squad which was announced on April 30. He, however, will travel with the squad as one of the four back up players for the event kicking off on June 2.

"Hardik Booed For 8 Games, Would've Loved To See Rohit...": Ex-Australia Star On Captaincy Row

It has been a disappointing IPL 2024 season for both Hardik Pandya and Mumbai Indians. The five-time champions became the first team to get eliminated from the IPL 2024 playoffs race and skipper Hardik was the one who faced the majority of criticism. Hardik completed a sensational move to MI from Gujarat Titans and replaced Rohit Sharma as the captain ahead of the new season. However, the decision was not taken well by a section of the fanbase and the dismal form of the side only led to the negative reactions towards Hardik.

"Sunil, Sorry Varun": Murali Kartik's Epic Gaffe In Presentation Ceremony

Former India cricketer Murali Kartik, working as a commentator in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, made a hilarious gaffe during the post-match presentation ceremony on Saturday. It was Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Varun Chakravarthy who was named the Player of the Match for his exceptional bowling in the match against Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens, but Kartik, mistakenly, called him Sunil Narine, not once but twice. Kartik's repeated mistakes didn't go unnoticed by fans on social media.

Not Rohit Sharma Or Hardik Pandya, "Only 2 Mumbai Indians Players Certain To Be Retained": Virender Sehwag

Five-time champions Mumbai Indians have had one of the worst IPL seasons since the start of the tournament this year. The Hardik Pandya-led side is already out of the playoff race. Since the start, when Hardik Pandya was named the skipper, things have gone downhill for the side. In the midst of this, former Indian cricket team star Virender Sehwag had a piece of interesting advice for MI management ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction. He took two names that should be on top priority for MI to be retained. And they are not Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma.
