Kolkata Knight Riders medium pacer Ramandeep Singh has been fined 20 per cent of his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during their match against Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens. The 27-year-old committed a Level 1 offence under Article 2.20 of the IPL Code of Conduct. He admitted to the offence and accepted the Match Referee's sanction.
Mumbai Indian, a franchise that has won the Indian Premier League (IPL) title a total of 5 times, remains in absolute mess. Placed 9th in the 10-team points table, MI are already out of the race for the playoffs, and could even end the campaign as the 'worst team'. While performances from star players have been pretty inconsistent, off-field issues haven't left MI's side either. The team management's decision to replace Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as captain has been one of the most discussed developments. In fact, Rohit seemed to have discussed the same with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) assistant coach Abhishek Nayar and a few others when MI visited the Eden Gardens for an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Saturday.
Jasprit Bumrah was on a roll against Kolkata Knight Riders in an IPL 2024 match on Saturday. He picked two wickets for 39 runs in a rain-curtailed IPL 2024 match for Mumbai Indians. One of his victims was Sunil Narine, and the dismissal has gone viral for the sheer beauty of it. So much so, that he has all but ended the GOAT debate, asserting his credentials as the best pacer in the game. It was an in-swinging yorker that left literally had Narine under a spell. He could not move his bat and was bowled.
Following his side's loss to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya admitted that his side could not capitalise on momentum given by opening batters Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma on a "tacky" wicket. KKR became the first team to qualify for IPL playoffs after a solid knock from Venkatesh Iyer and an all-round show by Andre Russell along with a fine performance by spinners helped them secure an 18-run win against MI at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday.
Rohit Sharma's IPL 2024 has gone from bad to worse. For the sixth straight game, the Indian cricket team skipper failed to strike big with his team - Mumbai Indians - under pressure. Against Kolkata Knight Riders, Rohit was out for 19 in 24 balls. His scores in the last five innings read 4, 11, 4, 8, 6. Chasing 158 in 16 overs, the platform was there for Rohit but he could not capitalise. He failed and that was a massive blow for MI. The team ultimately lost by 18 runs.
Having crashed out of the IPL 2024 playoffs race, five-time champions Mumbai Indians are playing for pride as they take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. MI's season has been overshadowed by the controversial decision to replace Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as the captain of the franchise. Rohit, who led MI to five IPL titles during his tenure, was removed as captain by the franchise after Hardik rejoined the side from Gujarat Titans (GT). However, the decision to remove Rohit sparked a huge uproar among the cricketing fraternity.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are flying high in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, sitting top of the points table with 16 points from 12 matches. KKR fans have largely credited mentor and former captain Gautam Gambhir for the franchise's stunning form this season. As a player, Gambhir led KKR to two IPL titles in 2012 and 2014 respectively. He spent the last few years of his playing career at Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) before joining Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as a mentor in 2022.
The connection between Gautam Gambhir and Kolkata Knight Riders has been quite well known throughout the years. The former Indian cricket team batter was the most successful captain in the franchise's history as he led them to two Indian Premier League (IPL) titles and in 2024, he returns to the side as the mentor. Another quite legendary association is that of Gambhir and team owner Shah Rukh Khan. While the heated conversation between Lucknow Super Giants team owner Sanjiv Goenka and skipper KL Rahul is dominating headlines, Gambhir showered praises on the Bollywood superstar and said that for him, SRK is the best owner he has ever worked with.
