In this match, all the players from the Indian team performed very well. Not only this, Mahendra Singh Dhoni became the first captain to win all the ICC trophies. This final match was played at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. Due to rain, this match was played in 20-20 overs in which India batted first and scored 129 runs losing 7 wickets. Virat Kohli played an important innings of 43 runs while batting brilliantly for India. In that match, Ishant Sharma proved to be the most expensive bowler from India’s side but he got his team back in the match by taking the wickets of Ravi Bopara and Eoin Morgan at crucial times. England needed 14 runs to win in the last over and Ravichandran Ashwin bowled this over from India’s side. Ravichandran Ashwin’s brilliant over put the match in India’s bag. After the Champions Trophy 2013, India has not won the trophy of any ICC event even once Let us tell you, after the Champions Trophy 2013, India has not won the trophy of any ICC event even once. In the last 11 years, India has participated in 10 ICC events but they have not won the trophy of this important tournament even once. India had confirmed their place in the final of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. However, they had to face defeat against Australia in the final. Currently, the Indian team is participating in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and they would definitely like to win this important tournament. The best thing for India in this tournament is that all their players are in very good form. If India has to make it to the semi-finals of this great tournament, then they will have to win their last Super 8 match. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Sunrisers Hyderabad made a shameful record in the IPL final under the captaincy of Pat Cummins
Sunrisers Hyderabad lost the IPL 2024 final by 8 wickets.

In the match, Hyderabad won the toss and batted first and were all out for 113 runs in 18.3 overs. In response, Kolkata chased the target with 57 balls to spare and won by 8 wickets. Kolkata has captured its third IPL title under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. Sunrisers Hyderabad reached the playoffs this year after the IPL 2020 season. But the team could not win the final under the captaincy of Pat Cummins. The Hyderabad team has registered an embarrassing record in the IPL 2024 final. Hyderabad broke CSK’s record In IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad put 287 runs on the board against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Which is the highest total in IPL history. The team with an explosive batting lineup got badly beaten against Kolkata in the final. The team was all out for 113 runs, which is the lowest total in the final of the league. Team openers Abhishek Sharma (2) and Travis Head were out on golden duck. After this, Rahul Tripathi (9), Aiden Markram (20), Nitish Kumar Reddy (13) and Shahbaz Ahmed (8) also could not do anything special. Heinrich Klaasen scored 16 runs, while Pat Cummins played the highest innings of 24 runs for the team in the final. Let us tell you that the record of the lowest total in the IPL final has been broken after 11 years. Before Sunrisers Hyderabad, the record of the lowest total in the IPL final was in the name of Chennai Super Kings, who had scored 125 runs for the loss of 9 wickets against Mumbai Indians in Eden Gardens in 2013.

Sanju Samson doesn’t know captaincy… The veteran told what blunder Rajasthan made against SRH and lost
Tom Moody believes that spinners had no role in SRH’s bowling, but Rajasthan gave that weak link a chance to dominate. Sanju Samson (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) SRH defeated Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 of the ongoing season and became the second team to reach the final of the season. For SRH, spinners Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed turned the match around at the last moment which played an important role in Hyderabad’s victory. Now former Australian cricketer and head coach Tom Moody is surprised why Rajasthan Royals (RR) did not send left-handed batsman Shimron Hetmyer against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) left-arm spinners Shahbaz Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma. He believes that Hetmyer should have batted at number five after Riyan Parag, because he could have stopped the havoc of these two spinners and the result of the match would have been different. Moody revealed how SRH’s spin bowling was one of the weak links Moody believed that spinners had no role in SRH’s bowling, but Rajasthan gave that weak link a chance to dominate. Tom Moody while talking to ESPNCricinfo said- “It was completely understandable that Hetmyer should have batted ahead of Dhruv Jurel. Jurel batted well, but even if he had batted after Hetmyer, he would have batted well. Rajasthan just had to target those 2 left-arm bowlers, which Hetmyer could do well being a left-handed batsman. SRH had nothing in the name of spinner, yet Rajasthan made such a big blunder.” At the same time, former New Zealand fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan believes that if RR had sent a left-handed batsman instead of a right-handed batsman after Shahbaz Ahmed started his spell, then perhaps Cummins would not have given the ball to Abhishek Sharma for the next over and the threat of Abhishek would have been averted from the team.

Was the decision to give the captaincy of Gujarat Titans (GT) to Shubman Gill wrong?
Questions are being raised that despite experienced players like Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan, the decision to make Shubman Gill the captain was wrong, let’s see. Shubman Gill(BCCI/IPL) 3 teams have been eliminated from the playoff race of IPL 2024. Mumbai Indians are the first, Punjab Kings are the second and Gujarat Titans are the third teams whose dream of lifting the IPL trophy this year has been shattered. Gujarat Titans made their IPL debut in the year 2022 and they lifted the IPL trophy in the same year. After this, they reached the finals in IPL 2023 but the team remained runner up after losing to CSK. For both these years, the captaincy of the team was in the hands of Hardik Pandya. However, Gujarat traded its captain Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians at the beginning of this season, due to which the captaincy position became vacant. After that the team management decided to make young opening batsman Shubman Gill the captain. The legacy left by Hardik was handed over to Shubman Gill and the fans as well as the team hoped that Gujarat would go to the playoffs. But this season the team’s performance was very poor. This team has played 13 matches so far in IPL 2024, out of which the team won 5 and lost 7. The match against KKR was canceled and the team’s dream of going to the playoffs was shattered. Was the decision to give captaincy to Shubman Gill wrong? Now questions are being raised that the decision to make Shubman Gill the captain despite experienced players like Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan was wrong. Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has supported Gujarat Titans’ move to hand over the captaincy to Shubman Gill despite their inability to reach the playoffs in IPL 2024. “We have all forgotten what a young player he is. He is still a child of the next generation, so he needs time to learn leadership. He will learn everything gradually. I think he’s a leader, whether he likes it or not. He is a quiet leader. If he can put all those things together and play, I’m sure he has a bright future.”
