After Mumbai Indians' narrow win over Punjab Kings on Thursday, a interesting post went viral on social media. In the screenshot of the post, allegedly re-shared by Mumbai Indians' Mohammad Nabi, a person by the display name of ijaz.azizi07 wrote on his instagram story: "@mumbaiindians some of you captain's decision is very strange and surprise people!? Nabi didn'y bowl today."
Mumbai Indians star opener Rohit Sharma recently opened about the 'impact player' rule in the IPL and stated that such rules are not beneficiary for Team India, especially ahead of the T20 World Cup. IPL 2024 will be concluded on May 26 and the marquee ICC event will kick-start from June 2, co-hosted by USA and the West Indies. Rohit stated that due to the 'impact player' rule, some renowned all-rounders are not getting a chance to bowl and this is going to hamper Team India in the long-run.
Chennai Super Kings star cricketer MS Dhoni enjoys a huge fanbase all around the world and reports of his potential retirement at the end of the season has made IPL 2024 more emotional for his fans. Both fans and experts have been in awe of Dhoni's tactical genius and explosive batting over the years but his batting appearances have been few and far between this season. Legendary South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn opened up about the impact of Dhoni in IPL 2024 according to him and even expressed his wish of watching the veteran cricketer bat more in the competition.
Ahead of their match against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul was seen having a chat with his wife and Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty at the Ekana Stadium. Rahul and Athiya tied the knot last year, putting an end to rampant rumours, after having dated each other for a while. In a viral video, Rahul and Athiya were seen having a chat on the eve of the game against CSK in Lucknow. The LSG skipper was wearing a training gear while Athiya was sporting a matchday jersey.
KL Rahul could be leading the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 but a part of his heart still lies with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the team of his 'home'. Rahul started his career with RCB in 2013 but also had stints with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) before being appointed as the captain of LSG. In a candid conversation, Rahul revealed an intriguing tale of his first contract with RCB, including a special conversation with Virat Kohli. (IPL 2024 Points Table)
Echoing the views of India captain Rohit Sharma, former pacer Zaheer Khan on Thursday raised serious concerns over the 'Impact Player' rule in the IPL, saying it produces "half-baked all-rounders". The 'Impact Player' rule, introduced in the 2023 season, allows all IPL teams to substitute a player -- batter or bowler -- during the innings. Experts have argued that the concept negates the role of an all-rounder. Someone like Shivam Dube has only been used as a power-hitter by his franchise Chennai Super Kings. Dube, also medium pacer, is in contention for the seam bowling all-rounder's option in the India set-up for the T20 World Cup but he has hardly got an opportunity to showcase his talent with the ball.
Following the victory against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya said that it was a good game to win and during the second innings, everyone's nerves got tested. Brilliant bowling performances by Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee guided the Mumbai Indians (MI) to a 9-run victory over the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 33rd encounter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on Thursday.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter Ashutosh Sharma, who caught the attention of fans worldwide with his blinder against Mumbai Indians (MI), said it was his dream to hit a sweep 'against the world's best bowler' Jasprit Bumrah. Despite Ashutosh's heroics, who almost pulled off the heist for Punjab, Jasprit Bumrah (3/21) and Gerald Coetzee's (3/32) superb spells coupled with a scintillating 78-run knock from Surya Kumar Yadav helped Mumbai Indians edge Punjab Kings by nine runs in a thrilling match at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur.
