Rachin Ravindra has been a brilliant addition to the Chennai Super Kings squad in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The New Zealand all-rounder was bought for Rs 1.8 crore by the defending champions ahead of the new season and with Devon Conway missing out on the initial part of the tournament due to injury, Ravindra was given the responsibility to open the batting. The left-hander played two brilliant knocks in their first two matches and the only blemish in his otherwise perfect run was a missed catch against Gujarat Titans. In a recent event, he was asked about his missed opportunity and whether he looked at MS Dhoni to check his reaction just after he dropped the catch.
Premier India spinner R Ashwin reckons the IPL has grown so "huge" that at times cricket itself takes a backseat with players finding it hard to juggle between training and advertisement shoots. Ashwin spoke about the meteoric rise of the IPL since its inception in 2008 and how tough life on the road for a player can be over the course of the two-month long competition. "As a youngster coming into the IPL, I was only looking to learn from the big stars, I did not think about how the IPL would look 10 years down the line. I can say that, having been in the IPL for so many seasons, the IPL is huge," he said on Club Prairie Fire podcast. "Sometimes I wonder if IPL is even cricket, because sport takes a backstage (during IPL). It's so huge. We do end up practising in advertisement shoots and sets! That's where the IPL has gotten to," said Ashwin, who is an important member of the Rajasthan Royals squad.
The IPL 2024 match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals on Thursday saw a break in match proceedings due to a confusion over tournament rules regarding the use of a foreign player as a substitute fielder. DC head coach Ricky Ponting and director of cricket Sourav Ganguly were seen having a chat with the fourth umpire when RR decided to field Rovman Powell as a substitute fielder. RR started the match with three overseas players - Jos Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer, and Trent Boult - and decided to bring Nandre Burger as their impact player in place of Hetmyer.
It has been a tough start to the IPL 2024 for Mumbai Indians with two defeats in their first two matches. The franchise was already in the news before the start of the competition following Hardik Pandya's sensational trade move from Gujarat Titans and the decision to replace Rohit Sharma with the all-rounder as the captain. The move has not worked out for them till now with a narrow loss against Gujarat Titans to begin proceedings and a heavy defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad where they conceded 277 runs in 20 overs. Hardik has been facing a lot of criticism from both fans as well as experts and his wife Natasa Stankovic was targeted by trolls on social media.
