Suryakumar Injured Ahead Of T20 World Cup? Batter Gives Update On Limping Visuals

After playing a match-winning knock against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Monday, Mumbai Indians' (MI) batter Suryakumar Yadav said he has done this after a long time. Suryakumar played an unbeaten 102-run knock from 51 balls at a strike rate of 200. He hammered 12 fours and 6 sixes. His stupendous knock helped MI clinch a seven-wicket win over the Hyderbad-based franchise at the Wankhede Stadium. While speaking after the match, Suryakumar pointed out that he has fielded for 20 overs and batted for 18 overs so there's no need to worry about his injury.

"Don't Know Which Mathematical...": Hardik Pandya's Blunt Playoffs Reply To Sanjay Manjrekar

The Mumbai Indians remain the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 playoffs hunt, though only mathematically, as they secured a 7-wickt victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday. Hardik Pandya, the Mumbai Indians skipper who hasn't tasted much success this season, refused to get into the IPL playoffs numbers when informed about the same by former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar at the post-match presentation ceremony. For Hardik, the only focus remains is putting as many wins under the belt in the remaining two matches, as possible and see where the fate takes him and his team. (IPL 2024 Points Table)

"Praise Gautam Gambhir For KKR Win, Blame Shreyas Iyer": West Indies Legend Slams Double Standards

Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop slammed trolls for targetting Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Shreyas Iyer. Despite KKR sitting top of the table, Iyer has been on the receiving end of some harsh criticism on social media from fans, who have instead credited mentor and former captain Gautam Gambhir for the franchise's stunning form this season. Taking to X, Bishop shut down multiple trolls and questioned fans for showing double standards by attributing KKR's wins to Gambhir and defeats to Iyer.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) put one foot into the IPL 2024 playoffs after beating Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to go top of the points table on Sunday. KKR now have 16 points from 11 games and only need a win from their remaining league matches to qualify for the playoffs. The two-time champions, who finished in the bottom half of the points table last season, have looked like a different team this season under captain Shreyas Iyer. However, a lot of that credit should go to former captain and mentor Gautam Gambhir, who returned to the franchise after spending two seasons in the dugout at LSG.

Watch: Rohit Sharma's MI Dugout Video From IPL 2024 Match Against SRH Triggers Big Speculations

For Rohit Sharma, the series of poor scores continued even on Monday even though Mumbai Indians won against SunRisers Hyderabad in an IPL 2024 match. The Indian cricket team captain has not been able to fire in the tournament recently and that has added to MI's inconsistent show so far. Rohit's form in the last five matches has been abject, to say the least. Though he scored a ton vs CSK in a losing cause, Rohit's form has been on a downward trajectory since then. His scores in the last five games, including the SRH match, read 4, 11, 4, 8 6. That's 33 runs in five matches.

India Defeat Bangladesh By 56 Runs Via D/L Method, Lead Series 4-0

India continued their dominant run against Bangladesh with a 56-run win via Duckworth-Lewis method in the rain curtailed fourth women's T20 on Monday. A late start and then over an hour-long delay due to persistent rain and hail meant that the contest had to be shortened. Harmanpreet Kaur (38) and Richa Ghosh (24) shared a 44-run stand to help India post 122 for 6 against Bangladesh after persistent rain reduced the contest to 14 overs a side. The hosts had to chase 125 in 14 overs under the DLS method to secure their first win of the series. But the batters, barring opener Dilara Akter (21), Rubya Haider (13) and Shorifa Khatun (11 not out), failed to reach double digits as they kept losing wicket in clusters.

Hardik Pandya Pinpoints His 'Bowling, Captaincy' Brilliance Against SRH

Following his side's seven wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya lauded batter Suryakumar Yadav for putting bowlers under pressure with his counter-attacking ton after a quick loss of wickets at the start. From three wickets down in a chase of 174 runs, a long overdue Suryakumar special came to MI's rescue as the centurion's 143-run partnership for the fourth wicket guided MI to their fourth win of the season against SRH at Wankhede Stadium.

"Done Things I Shouldn't Have": Gautam Gambhir's Mega Admission, Then Justifies Act By Saying This

It may not be too off the mark, if somebody says that Gautam Gambhir has got the Midas Touch. Be it Kolkata Knight Riders or the Lucknow Super Giants, any team where Gambhir sits in the dug-out, the outlook of the team changes. It happened with Lucknow Super Giants, for the past two seasons when the former India opener was a mentor. And it is happening yet again in KKR, where Gambhir is the captain now. The side is sitting pretty at the top of the table in the IPL 2024.
