Delhi Capitals' preparations for the new Indian Premier League (IPL) season suffered another blow on Friday when fast bowler Lungi Ngidi was ruled out of the tournament due to a lower-back injury.
With just a week to go for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign to begin, the Royal Challengers Bangalore seem to be heading towards a name change. In a video shared by the franchise on social media, the management seems to be edging closer to getting rid of the word ‘Bangalore' from the name of the franchise. In all likeliness, the ‘Bangalore' will be replaced by ‘Bengaluru' in the name of the franchise, in sync with the city's new name.
Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant sweated it out in the nets ahead of his much-anticipated return to competitive cricket with Delhi Capitals (DC) during the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year. Pant missed the IPL 2023 after suffering multiple injuries in a horrific car accident on December 30, 2022. He even missed the ICC Cricket World Cup last year at home. Delhi Capitals took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video of Pant batting in the nets. In the video, Pant was seen smashing his trademark big hits, slog sweeps, reverse sweeps etc.
Ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Delhi Capitals (DC) on Friday named Australian all-rounder Jake Fraser-McGurk as a replacement for Proteas bowler Lungisani Ngidi. IPL released a statement that the South African seamer has been ruled out of the upcoming season due to an injury. It added that Fraser-McGurk joined the Delhi-based franchise with his reserve price of Rs 50 lakhs.
India's 5-match Test series against England gave the team management the opportunity to try some of the next-generation stars. The likes of Sarfaraz Khan, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Akash Deep, and Dhruv Jurel, all made their debuts in the series, and produced performances worthy of cementing their places in the squad, to say the least. But, it has now been learned that some of these debuts didn't come from the head coach Rahul Dravid, or skipper Rohit Sharma. Instead, it was the chief selector Ajit Agarkar who pushed the team management into selecting some of these players.

Time and again, former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir highlighted how 'her worship' remains a problem in Indian cricket. Whenever individual players get more importance for victories over teams, Gambhir shakes his head in disbelief, asking for the trend to be stopped. The cricketer-turned-politician had famously said that the credit for India's ODI World Cup triumph in 2011 should be given to the entire team and not an individual (MS Dhoni). The Gambhir vs Dhoni chatter on social media is back after former India pacer Praveen Kumar shared his opinion on the topic.
The recently concluded Test series between India and England was a tough test for the Bazball style of cricket made famous by the Ben Stokes-led side under coach Brendon McCullum. The visitors won the first Test in Hyderabad but were completely outplayed in the next four games as they slumped to their first series defeat in the 'Bazball' era. Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin pointed out a major flaw in Bazball as he explained in his latest YouTube videothat no form of cricket can be played in a similar pattern and the lack of adaptability ended up being the biggest problem for the England side.
