Unbeaten in the tournament until the final, India suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Australia in the summit clash for the ODI World Cup 2023. With India's loss, ended the dream of millions of people to see the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and others lifting the coveted trophy. While there were several factors behind the team's loss, one of the biggest ones that has been discussed since the catastrophic result is the nature of the pitch. Many feel that the curator did a little too much to swing the game in India's favour. Now, former India batter Mohammad Kaif has admitted that the hosts did try to doctor the match, and unfortunately, went overboard.
Star India batter Shreyas Iyer on Sunday joined the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) training camp ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. The official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the Kolkata-based franchise shared pictures of the 29-year-old joining the team. Earlier in the month, KKR named Phil Salt as Jason's replacement for the upcoming season of the IPL 2024. With star overseas players like Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Phil Salt, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Mitchell Starc available along with a strong Indian core in Nitish Rana, skipper Shreyas Iyer, Rinku Singh, Venkatesh Iyer and Varun Charkavarthy, KKR will be aiming to do well in IPL 2024.
The costliest buy in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mitchell Starc is a player who is bound to be under the spotlight as the new season begins on March 22. The Australian star, signed by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 crore in the auction, is expected to put in some dramatic performances as the franchise looks to clinch its third title in the history of the T20 league. But, while many feel Starc will be under added pressure because of his price tag, KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir doesn't think that would be the case.
Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Gautam Gambhir received a warm welcome from the fans at the NSCBI Airport in Kolkata and he asserted that Kolkata is his second home. The former India opener stated that KKR is an emotion to him and thanked the fans for giving such a warm welcome. "Thank You for standing here and giving me a warm welcome. Kolkata is like my second home and KKR is an emotion," Gambhir told the media on Thursday. The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will start on March 22, with defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) set to clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in a South Indian derby at their home arena--MA Chidambaram Stadium.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises were left fuming over several foreign cricketers opting out of the competition citing personal reasons. The latest cricketer to pull out of the tournament was England batter Harry Brook who was bought for Rs 4 crore by Delhi Capitals ahead of the new season. He was not the first player to pull out of IPL due to personal reasons as Alex Hales, Jason Roy and Mitchell Starc have done the same in the past. According to a report by Cricbuzz, IPL franchises were not happy with the development and they want Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to address the issue.
After an underwhelming season last time around, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be eager to make a strong start to their Indian Premier League 2024 campaign under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer. At the mini-auction in December 2023, they spent a whopping INR 31.35 crore, with Mitchell Starc being their most expensive acquisition. In the previous edition, KKR finished in seventh place on the points table, winning six matches and losing eight. They have failed to qualify for the IPL playoffs since 2021.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is fast approaching. The teams are ready with their squads for the prized trophy in the richest cricket tournament in the world. While some squads are pretty much similar to last edition, there are certain teams who went for some big buys in the IPL 2024 auction held last year. Australians Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc went to SunRisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 20 crore-plus amounts. This was the first time that the Rs 20 crore mark was breached.
