Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan recently praised his player Andre Russell in a special way. The big-hitting West Indies star has been long-time recruit of the two-time IPL franchise. Shah Rukh referred to him as the 'Fashionista'. "Such a wonderful person to be around, and such a great cricketer. He reminds us of the first big man like Universe Boss, Mr. Gayle. He's like that, and I love the fact that he's very fashion-conscious. He likes to dress well, do his hair," the actor said on Star Sports.
The IPL 2024 match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals on Tuesday saw a massive controversy over Shai Hope's catch to dismiss Sanju Samson. Samson, who was batting on 86, looked in fine form as he slammed DC pacer Mukesh Kumar straight down the ground. However, Hope was positioned at long-on and although he completed the catch, it looked like he was too close to the boundary ropes. The third umpire ruled in DC's favour prompting disbelief from the RR camp and Sanju ended up having a heated discussion with the umpires. Former India batter Navjot Singh Sidhu claimed that the fielder touched the boundary rope twice during the catch and even came up with a 'fly in the milk' analogy to explain the complete situation.

Reacting to the controversy, Pakistan cricket great Wasim Akram sided with Gavaskar, saying Virat shouldn't have said what he did.

This time the blue and orange hues are quite prominent. However, this new jersey has started a meme-fest on internet too with quiote a few fans getting reminded of famous comedy show, Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma'.
Since the start of IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings fans have been going gung-ho over watching 'Thala' MS Dhoni. The former Indian cricket team captain has long retired from international cricket and the only time fans get to see him in action is during the IPL. This IPL too, Dhoni has been dealing in boundaries in the cameos that he has been delivering. However, his batting order has left a lot to be desired among the fans.
Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson was fined 30 per cent of his match fees following a heated argument with the on-field umpires during the IPL 2024 match against Delhi Capitals on Tuesday. Controversy erupted over Samson's dismissal after he was caught in the deep by Shai Hope but the fielder was too close to the stumps. The third umpire ruled in DC's favour but Samson was not pleased with the decision and he ended up having an argument with the match officials. The replays showed that the fielder was very close to the ropes and the decision left the fans and experts divided.
