Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Ravichandran Ashwin praised right-arm seamer Sandeep Sharma following his brilliant performance against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Sunday. Riding on Sanju Samson's onslaught and Trent Boult's brilliance, RR started their IPL 2024 campaign with a win at home as RR registered a 20-run victory against LSG at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
There has been a lot of speculation over the relationship between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya after the change in captaincy in Mumbai Indians ahead of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Hardik ended Rohit's ten-year tenure as MI captain after completing a sensational trade move from Gujarat Titans. Hardik was not able to win his first match as MI skipper and that added to the chat around a possible rift in the side. However, former India batter Robin Uthappa pointed out an incident after the match against Gujarat Titans that can prove to be good news for all Mumbai Indians fans. Rohit and Hardik had a long conversation after the match and Uthappa said the two cricketers are clearly exchanging ideas.
Former Indian cricket team batter Navjot Singh Sidhu had his say about Rohit Sharma playing under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 after the much-talked-about change in captaincy. Hardik, who completed a sensational trade move from Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians, replaced Rohit as the skipper ahead of IPL 2024 and the move has led to massive conversations among fans and experts. In a recent interaction, Sidhu said that Dhoni and Rohit are great players in their own right, and playing in a franchise team under another captain does not diminish their position.
Chennai Super Kings moved up to the top spot in the IPL 2024 points table after registering their second win of the competition. Shivam Dube and the fast bowlers produced commendable performances as the five-time champions defeated Gujarat Titans by 63 runs. As a result, they have 4 points from 2 matches and the best Net Run Rate (NRR) among all the ten franchises. They were followed by Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This was the first loss in two matches for GT who are currently in the sixth position with two points.
MS Dhoni turned back the clock to take a brilliant catch behind the stumps to leave both fans and experts stunned during the IPL 2024 match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans on Tuesday. The fans have not seen Dhoni bat in this year's IPL till now but the fielding effort was enough to send the social media into a frenzy. Vijay Shankar edged a delivery from Daryl Mitchell and Dhoni did not hesitate one bit before pulling off a full-stretch dive to complete the catch. Replays showed that the ball travelled at quite a rapid pace after connecting with the bat and Dhoni had just 0.6 seconds to complete the effort.
Shivam Dube has worked on his weakness against short-ball quite well and it has a lot to do with Mahendra Singh Dhoni personally working with the beefy Mumbai man, said Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad on Tuesday. Dube played a key role as CSK beat Gujarat Titans by 63 runs in an IPL game. The left-handed batter smashed five sixes in his 23-ball 51 after his 34 not out in the opening victory against RCB and the most notable feature in his game is how he is managing the shortball.
Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan believes that their side fell 15 to 20 runs short and Virat Kohli's dropped catch contributed to their four-wicket defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday. After being put to bat, PBKS lost Jonny Bairstow and the dismissal hindered their capability to put runs on the board. Runs came slowly from Dhawan's bat while Prabhsimran took time to settle on the pitch, which resulted in PBKS amassing just 40/1.
Ravindra Jadeja is a very crucial cog in Chennai Super Kings' scheme of things. With MS Dhoni taking a backseat by relinquishing his captaincy of the five-time IPL champions, current captain Ruturaj Gaikwad will have to depend on veteran Jadeja to take the team forward. Jadeja was earlier made the CSK skipper too in 2022 but he stepped down after eight matches with MS Dhoni taking over the reins yet again. In CSK's first match of the IPL 2024, Jadeja scored a crucial 25* and also gave away just 21 runs in his four overs.
