Former India Cricketer Predicts Top Five Buys Of IPL 2024 Auction; Two Indians In List

Cricket commentator and former India player Aakash Chopra throws a light on which player can fetch a high price in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction. Hosting JioCinema's daily sports show '#AAKASHVANI', Aakash Chopra predicted his top five buys at the IPL 2024 Player Auction to be held in Dubai on Tuesday. His first pick was Australia's experienced pacer Mitchell Starc. Chopra had previously picked the veteran to walk away with a hefty price tag. "Teams may spend Rs 10-12 crore on him provided they have already spoken to him and sought assurance that he will not leave the IPL 2024 mid-way. The only thing that goes against him is that he leaves the tournament mid-way or does not turn up at all," Chopra said.

"Hoping For...": Ben Stokes Provides Update Post Knee Surgery

Star England all-rounder Ben Stokes on Friday said that his rehabilitation after a knee surgery last month has been going on well and he's hoping to make further progress in the next two weeks.

"Not Isolated Case": Ex-India Star Slams Umpiring In Third T20I vs South Africa

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has slammed the umpiring in India vs South Africa third T20I. The match at New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Thursday witnessed a massive umpiring blunder when South Africa batter David Miller got a big outside edge on the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja. Apart from the bowler, wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma, who collected the ball behind the stumps, made a huge appeal but umpire was unconvinced. To India's poor luck, the Decision Review System (DRS) was not available during that time due to some technical issue and that saw Miller survive.
