I will also focus a lot on Mathisha Pathirana: Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said, ‘The second bowler on whom I will have full focus is Mathisha Pathirana. Many sixes have been hit in this tournament. However, you will remember Pathirana’s catch and two wickets in one over very well. If you want to stop Andre Russell and Rinku Singh, then it is very important to include Mathisha Pathirana in the playing XI. Chennai’s record at home has been very good and the team would like to register a win against Kolkata Knight Riders as well. Talking about Kolkata, the team is in very good form at the moment and they would like to continue their same form against Chennai also.

My momentum was going towards the site but I thought I should go the other way to catch the catch. I did the same and completed the catch. Jonty Rhodes further said, ‘When you are bowling, you have to react like this. The best thing that happened to him was that he went back and gave himself time. When you are watching the ball you have to go with a hard hand. He reacted even before a second and that was a very good thing.

RCB Playoff Scenario: How many matches will Royal Challengers Bangalore have to win to go to IPL playoffs?
RCB is placed 9th in the points table with just 2 points from 5 matches played. RCB Team (Photo Source: IPL Official Website) RCB Playoffs: All the teams are giving tough competition to each other to reach the IPL 2024 playoffs (IPL 2024 Qualification Scenarios). On one hand, the players are performing brilliantly to help their team win, on the other hand, now the RCB fans are sitting with pen, paper and calculator. It is noteworthy that RCB has played 5 matches so far in which they lost only 4 matches. Royal Challengers Bangalore is struggling with the form of its players this season too. Only Virat Kohli is working for the team from one side but he is not getting support from any player. The team’s batting and bowlers are divided. RCB had faced Rajasthan Royals in their previous match. In this match, Bengaluru batted first and scored a big score on the basis of Kohli’s century. Apart from Kohli, no batsman played. RCB suffered a crushing defeat from Rajasthan Royals in the last match. At the same time, due to the defeat that Rajasthan Royals has given to RCB bowlers while chasing the target, Kohli will think that his century has been wasted. This is being said because Rajasthan’s Jos Buttler was not in form this season, so it was easy for RCB to dismiss him. But luck changed as Butler came in form and scored another century and led his team to victory. After the defeat in this match, RCB is at 9th position in the points table with only 2 points. Now the question to think is that if RCB wants to qualify for the playoffs, do they have that time left? So let us tell you that, yes Bengaluru can still make it to the playoffs. RCB Playoff Scenario: How many matches will RCB have to win and how many points will have to be taken to go to IPL 2024 Playoff? Know here- RCB has lost 4 out of 5 matches played so far and the path to the playoffs is becoming difficult. At the same time, RCB now has only 9 matches left. Currently the team is at 9th position in the team points table with 2 points. To enter the IPL playoffs, any team will have to win at least 8 matches. That means if you win so many matches then you will get a total of 16 points. RCB has already won one match and has to win 7 more matches. It is not enough for Bengaluru to just win, the net run rate will also have to be good so that it can easily enter the playoffs. If they win all the remaining 9 matches then the team can directly enter the play-offs without any problem. At present all the teams are performing well. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see what strategy RCB makes.

What I would like to say on my wicket is that this was the last over of the powerplay and I wanted to make it big. I missed the ball and I had to lose my wicket. I am very happy with the performance of our bowlers. It was great to see that we had stopped them between 160-165.

But a law student named Nikhil Thamman, in his PIL, has hit out at the state of Punjab and other respondents, saying the construction of the stadium was “unauthorized”. Nikhil has highlighted some things in the issue raised, let’s see- He says that the notification issued by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest in 2006 regarding environmental protection has been violated. Frankly speaking, Nikhil says that the stadium has not been built following the correct protocol. Not only this, he also claimed that the officials did not even obtain the mandatory forest and wildlife clearance under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 from the National Wildlife Board. According to their PIL, the project falls within 10 km of the bird sanctuary in Sector 21, Chandigarh. Requested not to play IPL match The petitioner also sought directions to ban BCCI-PCA from organizing Indian Premier League (IPL) matches. Apart from this, he also demanded an immediate ban on the sale of match tickets for the IPL by the BCCI.

According to the petitioner, the notification dated September 14, 2006 stated that projects with more than 1.5 lakh square meters of built-up area would have to obtain environmental clearance from the Central Government. He also referred to the instructions issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests on March 15, 2011. The letter said that if the project site is in an eco-sensitive area zone or within 10 km thereof, the user agency will have to take prior approval from the Standing Committee of the National Wildlife Board. Now we will have to wait to see what further decision the court takes on this.

Former Delhi CP Neeraj Kumar made a big revelation regarding S Sreesanth’s escape from life ban.
Neeraj Kumar was also linked to the Hansie Cronje match-fixing scandal in 2000 as part of the CBI investigation team. Sreesanth of Rajasthan Royals. (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar has lamented the lack of seriousness of the hitmen in bringing a law against corruption in Indian sports. Not only this, he also said that this was also a big reason why former fast bowler S. Sreesanth survives Indian Premier League 2013 season despite strong evidence of spot-fixing. Let us tell you, Neeraj Kumar is a very famous IPS officer who has done S. Sreesanth and Rajasthan Royals teammates Ajit Chandila and Ankit Chhawan were arrested on charges of spot-fixing. However, in 2019, the Supreme Court asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India to reconsider the lifetime ban to which he was subject, despite the evidence against the former fast bowler. After this S. Sreesanth’s sentence was reduced to 7 years which ended in September 2020. According to India Today, Kumar said, ‘It seems that the matter has gone nowhere. Unfortunately there is no law to deal with corruption in cricket in India. Even in a country like Zimbabwe there are strict laws. Australia, New Zealand, even Europe have laws because there is corruption not only in cricket but also in football, tennis, golf and all other sports. Neeraj Kumar made a big revelation Let us tell you, Neeraj Kumar was also associated with the Hansie Cronje match-fixing scandal in 2000 as part of the CBI investigation team. He said that there were certain areas due to which the cricketer was saved from being found guilty of support fixing. Neeraj Kumar said, ‘For example, the things we do do not stand the test of judicial scrutiny. If we say that people were cheated during match fixing then now the court will ask, show me a person who has been cheated and produce that person in the court. Who will come to the court and say that I went to the cricket match expecting fair play and I play the match to the best of my ability for everyone. This makes it very difficult to prove the case in the absence of the victim. The law has been working since 2013 to prevent such malpractice in India. It is noteworthy that in the Prevention of Sporting Fraud Bill (2013) introduced in the Lok Sabha in 2018, a provision of 5 years imprisonment and a fine of Rs 10 lakh was made for those found guilty of sports fraud including fixing. The bill was drafted by Justice (retd) Mukul Mudgal and was seen as an important step to curb match-fixing. It was to replace the ‘Public Gambling Act 1867’, under which anyone indulging in betting could The person could also be fined only Rs 200 or be jailed for three months.
