Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram took a trip down the memory lane and recalled the time when bowled in nets to Sanju Sasmon during a Kolkata Knigth Riders (KKR) training camp. As some of you might recall, Akram was the bowling coach of KKR from 2010 to 2016, and during the same phase, the franchise won two IPL titles. During a recent interaction, Akram revealed that he still supports KKR in the IPL, having been part of the franchise for a solid seven editions.
KL Rahul is believed to be slightly ahead of Sanju Samson in the race for second wicketkeeper's slot even as Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya's indifferent batting form remains a worry for the national selection panel which is expected to announce the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup in Americas by the end of this month. The other bone of contention in drafting the final squad could be the choice of an extra bowler. It remains to be seen whether an extra pace bowler in Avesh Khan will be accommodated or whether the choice would be between Lucknow Super Giants leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi and Delhi Capitals all-rounder Axar Patel considering the low and slow tracks in the West Indies. It is understood that skipper Rohit Sharma is likely to have a meeting with chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar to discuss the outline of the team.
With the first half of Indian Premier League 2024 done and dusted, several players have all but cemented their spots in India's squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 courtesy of strong performances in the ongoing IPL season. While IPL performances alone will not be enough to secure spots in India's squad considering international experience will also come into play, let's have a look at what the Men in Blue squad could look like if player performances from the first half of IPL 2024 would be a criteria for squad selection.
Ahead of the T20 World Cup in the Americas, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has thrown his weight behind Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson. India are expected to announce their 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup later this week and Tharoor has re-iterated his support for Samson, who according to him should be picked by the selectors. This isn't the first time that Tharoor has openly came out in support of Samson over the lack of opportunities given to him by the Indian selectors.
Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar had a cheeky exchange with Yashasvi Jaiswal after the youngster guided Rajasthan Royals to victory over Mumbai Indians in their IPL 2024 match on Monday. Jaiswal slammed an unbeaten 104 as RR comfortably chased down a target of 180 against a hapless MI bowling attack. This was the second IPL century for Jaiswal and incidentally, his first ton also came against MI. After the match, Gavaskar asked the 'Mumbai boy' Jaiswal why he always scores centuries against MI and the exchange has gone viral on social media. Jaiswal quickly responded that he did not have anything specific in his mind and he was trying to do what works well for him.
