Jason Behrendorff got injured while preparing for IPL 2024
Before the start of IPL 2024, a very bad news had come out for the five-time champion Mumbai Indians. Let us tell you that the team’s fast bowler Jason Behrendorff is out of IPL due to injury. He suffered a serious injury while practicing with the team.
Let us tell you that he has got Fabula factor in his left leg. It is going to take him at least 8 weeks to recover from this injury, due to which he is out of the entire IPL season. However, now the cricketer will have his eyes set on playing in the T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 2.
But after the injury, it is going to be very difficult for him to make a place in Australia’s 15-member team. As far as possible, Cricket Australia is currently looking towards Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins for fast bowling in the T20 World Cup.
Had an amazing performance against India
However, Behrendorff’s performance in the shortest format of the game has been commendable. This left-arm bowler has taken 19 wickets in 17 T20 matches played for Australia, but his art of taking wickets in the powerplay makes him special among other bowlers. So last year, Jason had performed amazingly for the Kangaroo team in the five-match T20 series against India and recently in the limited overs series against West Indies at home.
The 33-year-old bowler was Australia’s highest wicket-taker in the T20 series against India. So taking wickets in every T20 match against West Indies is enough to show Jason’s consistency. But now it will be worth seeing whether he is fit before the T20 World Cup starting from June 2 or not?
AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
