RR vs KKR Live Updates, IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the final league game of IPL 2024 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday. Both the teams have qualified for the playoffs with KKR set to finish at the top spot in the points table.
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri feels Shubman Gill's omission from the T20 World Cup squad must've been a tough pill to swallow for the youngster, but added that the early setback will only give him the motivation to get better. Gill did not find a place in the 15-man squad which was announced on April 30. He, however, will travel with the squad as one of the four back up players for the event kicking off on June 2.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has already announced the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, starting June 1. The focus has now completely shifted to what could be India's best playing XI out of the selected players for the event in UAE and West Indies. While Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Rohit Sharma have been India's designated openers, Virat Kohli's sensational form batting at number 1 spot for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2024 must have given the team management a healthy headache.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's Test career is just 17 games old but the great Brian Lara feels if there is anyone who can get close to his lofty feats, including the record 400 not out, it is the 22-year-old southpaw from India. Lara's high praise for Jaiswal doesn't come out of the blue. The left two-handers share a special bond, having spent a lot of time over the past year following their "4 am conversation" during the IPL when the West Indian was coaching Sunrisers Hyderabad and the young opener was in the Rajasthan Royals' camp.
After starting the IPL 2024 on a strong footing, which saw them lead the points table, the Rajasthan Royals has now lost their last two matches. RR have 16 points from 11 matches and a play-off berth is very near. However, in a tough league like IPL, nothing can be said with certainty. The RR have three players - Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Yuzvendra Chahal - who are part of India's T20 World Cup squad. The three had contrasting fortunes in RR's latest loss against DC on Tuesday.
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has picked out two players set to debut at senior ICC events for India - Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube - as key to the team's hopes in the Caribbean and USA for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in June. Jaiswal and Dube were named in India's 15-member squad for the tournament beginning next month. While the former was in top form in the ICC World Test Championship series against England with a record tally of runs, Dube has smashed 26 sixes in 11 matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League and is in top form with the bat.
In just over a month's time, India will hope to win the 2024 T20 World Cup and bring an end to their more than decade-long ICC trophy drought. They won the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007 but surprisingly have never won another since. On April 30, the Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel named India's 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 which is scheduled to be played in the USA and the West Indies in June.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar did the star turn with a sensational final over as Sunrisers Hyderabad pulled off a heist, stunning Rajasthan Royals by just one run in a last-ball thriller to keep their IPL playoff hopes alive on Thursday. Needing two to win off the last delivery, Bhuvneshwar (3/41) trapped Rovman Powell (27) with a full toss to leave RR stranded at 200 for seven while chasing a target of 202. Opting to bat, Nitish Reddy (76 not out) and Travis Head (58) produced explosive fifties, while Heinrich Klassen made an unbeaten 19-ball 42 to power Sunrisers Hyderabad to 201 for three.
