MI vs KKR Live Updates, IPL 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders take on stumbling Mumbai Indians in the 51st match of IPL 2024 on Friday. KKR are positioned at the second spot in the table with 12 points.
Ahead of his side's Indian Premier League (IPL) game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Romario Shepherd said that his bowling has not been up to the mark and he has been working to make it better. MI and KKR will be locking horns in a high-octane clash at Wankhede Stadium on Friday. KKR is at the second spot in the points table, with six wins and three losses, giving them 12 points. They won their previous clash against Delhi Capitals.
On Rinku Singh's surprising omission from India's 15-member squad for the Men's T20 World Cup, Tom Moody, the former Australia all-rounder, thinks it happened mainly due to the balance of the team, where they needed another spin-bowling all-rounder in Axar Patel. Rinku has played 15 T20Is for India since his debut last year. He has majorly excelled as a finisher, by scoring 356 runs at a strike rate of 176.23. But in IPL 2024, he hasn't got ample batting opportunities for Kolkata Knight Riders - making 123 runs off 82 balls in eight innings coming in the lower middle-order at a strike rate of 150.
Lakshya Sen was the lone bright spot as the Indian men's team failed to defend its title after going down fighting 1-3 to China in the quarterfinals, while the women's side suffered a 0-3 loss to Japan to also end their campaign in the Thomas and Uber Cup Final on Thursday. Two years after India claimed their maiden title at the World Men's Team Championships, the country's shuttlers endured a tough day in office as world No. 9 HS Prannoy, world No. 3 Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty and Dhruv Kapila and Sai Pratheek K failed to go the distance in their respective matches.
Former cricketer Rashid Latif has came out in support of the Pakistan Cricket Board's thought behind sending the senior men's team for training at an Army camp. The PCB had adopted a unique approach for training the men's national team ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. The Babar Azam-led side trained at the Army School of Physical Training in Kakul. The Pakistan team was put through a gruelling training session after complaints were raised to the PCB about the team's fitness standards during the ODI World Cup in 2023.

There will be 20 umpires who will be officiating in 55 matches across nine venues, which also include renowned ICC umpires -- Richard Illingworth, Kumar Dharmasena, Chris Gaffaney and Paul Reiffel.
The internet is a crazy place which often throws up surprises.

The video is an old one but the term 'invisible fire' intrigued all and the video has received close to 2 million views in a short span of time. In the video, it can be seen that the drivers are panicking while safety crew try to extinguish the 'invisible fire'.
