Another Indian Premier League (IPL) season passes by as the Punjab Kings' 10-year playoff drought carries on. Tom Moody, the first head coach of the PBKS (formerly known as Kings XI Punjab) blames the team's struggles on its "inconsistency in leadership". These comments stem from the fact that the franchise has appointed 15 different captains in 17 seasons of the IPL.
S Sreesanth has once again opened up about the infamous 'slapgate' incident from the inaugural season of Indian Premier League in 2008. It is worth noting that then Kings XI Punjab pacer Sreesanth and former Mumbai Indians captain Harbhajan Singh had a heated altercation during a match between the two sides. Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth and the latter ended up crying. The action saw Harbhajan facing a ban from the rest of the tournament in that edition. While speaking on 'The Ranveer Show', Sreesanth said that he didn't cry because of the pain but the bond he has had with Harbhajan.
Virat Kohli is stamping his class on the IPL 2024. Currently, he is the top run-getter in the IPL 2024 with a tally of 634 in 12 innings. With five fifties and one century, Kohli's form augurs well for the Indian cricket team ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. Kohli's latest half-century came against Punjab Kings as he scored a 47-ball 92. While his innings has all elements to be one of his best innings in this edition of the IPL, Kohli made a bigger news by his viral run out of Shashank Singh.
As Punjab Kings geared up to take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Dharamsala, Virat Kohli pulled off something incredible. The RCB star, who has been in fine form this Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, holding the Orange Cap at the moment, left fans ROFL with his witty side. In a video that has surfaced on social media, Kohli engaged in a friendly banter with PBKS pacer Kagiso Rabada while the latter was busy with his podcast.
Virat Kohli starred with another batting masterclass in IPL 2024 as Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Punjab Kings by 60 runs in Dharamsala. A defeat in the game also officially eliminated PBKS from the playoff race. After getting an invitation to bat first, RCB posted 241 for 7 in their stipulated 20 overs. Kohli scored 92 runs off 47 balls with the help of 7 fours and 6 sixes. PBKS dropped plenty of catches and two of them were of Kohli.
Virat Kohli once again rose the tallest, but this time with an impressive strike-rate of 195, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured a 60-run victory against Punjab Kings on Thursday. Kohli's 47-ball 92 was the cornerstone of RCB's innings as he starred in two partnerships -- 72 off 32 balls with Rajat Patidar (55 off 23 balls) and 92 off 46 balls with Cameron Green (46 off 27 balls) to propel RCB to 241/7. Virat's knock also settled the enraging debate around Virat's strike-rate and intent. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif feels the fact that Kohli got out while trying to hit a six at 92, ends the debate around his intent in the shortest format of the game.
Virat Kohli is not without his limitations but the star Indian batter has made up for them with his commitment to training, feels former Australian all-rounder Tom Moody. Armed with his powerful slog-sweep, Kohli has been able to counter the spinners in the middle overs, and on Thursday after blazing his way to a 47-ball 92, the 35-year-old effected the key run-out of Shashank Singh with a superb direct hit from deep mid-wicket against Punjab Kings.
After Punjab Kings (PBKS) suffered elimination from IPL 2024 following a 60-run defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), assistant coach Brad Haddin admitted "dropped catches cost his side the match." Punjab had a tough day at the field on Thursday night, with three catches dropped in the first five overs, two off Virat Kohli on 0 and 10, and one off Rajat Patidar when he was batting on 0. While Kohli scored 92 runs in the match, Patidar scored 55.
