Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have not played a lot of T20 cricket since the 2022 edition, are expected to be on the flight to USA and Caribbean for the ICC showpiece. Former Indian cricket team star Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is set to be back in the commentary box after a decade with the upcoming IPL, has an interesting take on the duo's role for the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli received a rousing ovation from the fans during the RCB Unbox event at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Tuesday ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Kohli has been a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise since the first IPL season back in 2008 and over the years, the fans honoured him with the nickname 'King Kohli'. However, during the event, Kohli asked the host Danish Sait and the fans to not call him 'king' as he feels embarrassed every time he hears it and even revealed a conversation with Faf du Plessis about the topic.
Royal Challengers Bangalore has officially changed their name to 'Royal Challengers Bengaluru' ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. At the RCB Unbox event at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, the new name of the franchise was unveiled along with their new logo. Skipper Faf Du Plessis, star batter Virat Kohli and women's team captain Smriti Mandhana were present on the stage when the announcement was made. Mandhana led RCB to the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 title after defeating Delhi Capitals in the summit clash - the first ever trophy in the franchise's history.
As a franchise, the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 was a special one for Royal Challengers Bangalore. As a franchise, the RCB is yet to win the Indian Premier League. However, it's women's team made history by wining the Women's Premier League 2024 under the leadership of Smriti Mandhana. The win will undoubtedly boost the confidence of the men's team as well. After RCB defeated Delhi Capitals in the final, Virat Kohli could be seen celebrating the win over a video call.
RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana feels it's not right for people to undermine Virat Kohli's achievements for the Bengaluru franchise in the wake of her side's Women's Premier League title triumph recently. The Mandhana-led RCB defeated Delhi Capitals to lift the WPL trophy in only their second year, while their male counterparts, led by the charismatic Kohli for nearly a decade before he stepped down, haven't had success in the 16 years of IPL. "The title is one thing, but what he (Kohli) has achieved for India is remarkable. So, I don't think that comparison is right in terms of where my career is and what he has already achieved," Mandhana told the media on Tuesday.
Set to be back in the commentary box after a decade with the upcoming IPL, flamboyant former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu says the glitzy league would help decide the T20 World Cup squad of not just India but also other countries. After a decade-long stint in the unforgiving world of politics, Sidhu and his 'Sidhuisms' will be back on air starting with the IPL, which precedes the T20 World Cup in June.
Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis says Virat Kohli's infectious energy, which easily rubs off on everyone, is the secret of the brilliant on-field and an equally fulfilling off-field equation he shares with the Indian superstar. Du Plessis, who took over the team's captaincy after Kohli decided to step down at the end of the 2021 season, said batting with the prolific right-hander is an "unbelievable experience".
Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Smriti Mandhana revealed that she couldn't hear a single thing during her video call conversation with India's stalwart batter Virat Kohli but happiness was visible on his face after RCB's triumph in the Women's Premier League Season 2. RCB with a clinical performance clinched an 8-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium to lift their maiden WPL title. After the game, Kohli joined the post-match celebrations through a video call and had a chat with skipper Mandhana as well as the rest of the team.
