IPL 2024 Points Table: RCB Keep Playoff Hopes Alive, CSK Take Huge Step

Royal Challengers Bengaluru keep their IPL 2024 playoff dreams alive with a massive nine-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans while Chennai Super Kings moved up to third in the points table with a win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. RCB rode brilliant knocks from Virat Kohli and Will Jacks to register their second victory on the trot. They remain at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table even after the win but they can still qualify for the playoffs if they win all of their remaining matches. On the other hand, CSK moved up to the third spot with 10 points from 9 matches while Sunrisers Hyderabad fell to fourth with 10 points from 9 matches as well but an inferior Net Run Rate (NRR).

Mitchell Starc has no injury concern and is "available" for selection, Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Ramandeep Singh said even as the star pacer indulged in just light training sessions ahead of their IPL clash against Punjab Kings. The Australian cricketer, who attracted a record bid, did not have the kind of return to the league after eight years he would have hoped as he has leaked plenty of runs this season and has managed just six wickets. The left-arm quick also reportedly sustained a finger injury on his bowling hand during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Why Riyan Parag, Mayank Yadav Unlikely To Get T20 World Cup Call? Report Reveals 'High-Stakes' Reason

The T20 World Cup is just around the corner and the stakes are high, as far as India's squad is concerned, with multiple players fighting for a single spot in the team. However, the national selection committee is unlikely to select any rookie IPL performer for the showpiece event in the Americas. The likes of Riyan Parag (RR), Mayank Yadav (LSG), Abhishek Sharma (SRH), among others have enjoyed a breakthrough season in the IPL so far. But, as per a report in news agency PTI, the selectors will not put the rookie players to test in a "high-stakes" tournament like the T20 World Cup.

Why RCB Couldn't Retain Yuzvendra Chahal In 2022? Mike Hesson Reveals Real Reason

Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Director of Cricket Mike Hesson revealed why they did not retain the Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season auction.
