Virat Kohli is the leading run-scorer in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and one of the biggest names in the tournament. However, he never shies away from crediting the league for how it helped him develop as a player. Ahead of Royal Challengers Bangalore's clash against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday, the star revealed "the most important thing" about the league that helped improve his game. He said that the fact that the IPL let him compete against and share knowledge with the best players.
Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli will be indispensable in the Indian team during the T20 World Cup in Australia but a change in their batting order may be considered for the benefit of the side, say experts. While IPL is an indicator of current form but the national selection committee under Chetan Sharma at this point is not even remotely harbouring any such thoughts, at least not for the time being. However, one point that is being debated is whether skipper Rohit, his deputy Rahul and team's premier batter Kohli will occupy the top three slots in the batting order at the mega event, set to be played in Australia in October-November.

In a highly competitive environment like the Indian Premier League (IPL), it is rare to see players appreciating a shot or a delivery by the opposition, with teams focussed solely on winning the match. But Liam Livingstone hit a six so long in Punjab Kings' win on Tuesday that Gujarat Titans players could not help but admire the England player's powerful shot. In the 16th over of PBKS' chase 144-run, Livingstone smashed a 117m six behind square leg off Mohammed Shami. Shami himself couldn't help but smile in astonishment, while GT captain Hardik Pandya's jaw dropped on seeing the hit.
Things haven't gone according to plans for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. They have won just four games out of nine. Despite their poor show in the ongoing IPL, the management, including head coach Ricky Ponting, are confident that the Rishabh Pant-led side will make a quick turnaround. Young skipper Pant took over as captain from Shreyas Iyer last season. Pant and Ponting seem to have established a wonderful rapport ever since. Not only that, Pant also seems to be gelling up with Ponting's son Fletcher.
