Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly accused Sanju Samson’s team of cheating, argued with the umpire
Ponting and Ganguly quarreled with the umpire and raised their voice that Rajasthan team was cheating on the field. Ricky Ponting, IPL 2024 (Photo Source X) (2) The 9th match of IPL 2024 is being played between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. Delhi won the toss and decided to bowl first and in 20 overs, Rajasthan Royals scored 185 runs on the scoreboard. Delhi team, chasing the target, started demanding to stop the match on the very second ball. At the same time, Delhi coach also got angry. Actually, Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting clashed with the umpires during the innings break of the IPL 2024 match against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. A picture of the former Australian cricketer arguing with the umpires regarding the impact player rule went viral on the internet. What is the matter, why did Delhi coaches and players get angry? Rajasthan Royals have already fielded three foreign players in their starting playing 11 in the form of Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer and Trent Boult, they brought in a fourth player in the form of Rovman Powell in place of Shubham Dubey. Andre Berger had entered the field as Hetmyer’s replacement fielder even before the start of the innings. On this matter, Ricky Ponting and team director Sourav Ganguly quarreled with the umpire and raised their voice that the Rajasthan team was cheating on the field, because Rovman Powell had come to field and there were 5 foreign players on the field. Delhi Capitals Head Coach Ricky Ponting was visibly unhappy with the impact substitution players from Rajasthan Royals. So much chaos and so little clarity. 📸: Jio Cinema pic.twitter.com/iZSa9P3lZV — CricTracker (@Cricketracker) March 28, 2024 Therefore, Ponting started arguing with the fourth umpire whether a team could field five foreign players. But the reality was that the Royals had only 4 overseas players at the beginning of the innings and Powell came as a substitute, and Hetmyer was not on the field. Rajasthan had kept Rovman Powell as a substitute fielder for some time. Delhi raised questions on this. On this, the umpire brought a sheet that including Powell, only 4 foreign players were in the field. Jos Buttler, Trent Boult, Narde Berger, and Powell. What are the rules of IPL? IPL rules state that a team cannot have more than 4 foreign players in its playing XI, but rule 1.2.6 states: “There cannot be more than 4 foreign players in a team on the field of play at any time during any match. Thus, if the team names a maximum of 4 foreign players in its starting XI, a foreign player can only field as a substitute. If the team includes less than 4 foreign players in its starting playing 11, then foreign players can enter the field only as impact fielders.”

He did it today for the season starting March 22. Rishabh Pant looks fantastic: DC coach Ricky Ponting Ricky Ponting was quoted by PTI as saying: “Rishabh Pant has had a lot more batting practice in the last week than in previous IPL seasons. I think maybe he wants to get that confidence back about his body. He is running himself at some different paces and playing all the shots that he plays. He looks fantastic, and more importantly, he has a smile on his face, which we love to see. We all love his friendly demeanor and the way he brings smiles to the team. Although he is still young in age, he has really played a lot of cricket. He sets an example, he has a lot of energy and that’s why other people follow him.” I am very surprised by the improvements Rishabh Pant has made: Sourav Ganguly Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly said: “Rishabh Pant is not an orthodox batsman, so you expect that character in his captaincy. No player comes prepared for the role of captain. You learn as you go and I believe captaincy comes by instinct. I look forward to seeing him in action during IPL 2024. I am amazed at the improvements he has made. I hope it’s a good season for him, because he’s been through a lot emotionally. When you go through an injury like that, it’s never easy to bounce back and get into a rhythm. It will be great to see him back not only for Delhi Capitals, but also for the Delhi Ranji team and India as he is a special talent and player.”

BCCI officials need to talk to Ishaan- Sourav Ganguly “For a player like Ishan Kishan, BCCI secretary Jay Shah, president Roger Binny and the selectors need to talk to him,” Sourav Ganguly was quoted as saying by Times of India. During this time he played Ranji and then white ball cricket. Has this made him a poor player? It’s not like that.” Ganguly said that this matter needs to be handled seriously and he should now talk to Ishaan. All the players selected in Delhi Capitals have played Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy and Ranji Trophy. Even Ishant Sharma has played Ranji. Speaking about workload management, Ganguly said that only fast bowlers need to manage their workload, why do batsmen need workload management?

I still maintain that the standard of Indian cricket is excellent.
“Great of all time” – Sourav Ganguly called this 37 year old Indian bowler ‘all time great’
India and England will play the fifth and last match of the ongoing five-match Test series from March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala. Rohit Sharma-led Team India has already taken an unassailable lead in the series by defeating England in the second, third and fourth Tests in Visakhapatnam, Rajkot and Ranchi respectively. In such a situation, by winning this match, the England team would like to end the series on a good note. Many memorable moments have been seen from both the teams in the current series. One of them is experienced all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin who aims to complete 500 wickets for India in the Test format. Ashwin crossed the 500 wicket mark in Rajkot and crossed the 350 wicket mark, breaking former Indian spinner Anil Kumble’s record of taking most Test wickets at home for India. Sourav Ganguly is not tired of praising R Ashwin Sourav Ganguly was also impressed by Ashwin’s performance. He described off-spinner Ashwin as one of the greatest players of all time. Praising Ashwin while talking to Revsportz, Sourav Ganguly said that, Greatest of all time, greatest of all time. 500 wickets is no joke. Then you have Jadeja, the best all-rounder at the moment. Who can perform well with both bat and ball in these conditions. Apart from this, Ganguly also praised the performance of star spinner Kuldeep Yadav, saying that the star player has improved a lot and there has been no decline in him despite players like Ashwin and Jadeja performing well. Kuldeep has taken 12 wickets in three Test matches so far and will be keen to finish the series on a high when the two teams face each other in Dharamsala. Ganguly said, “I think Kuldeep has made a tremendous comeback. There has been a lot of improvement in that. And I think with bowlers like Ashwin and Jadeja, there has been no weak performance from him. He has left his mark in the series and will play for India for a long time.”
“It took 15-20 years for MS Dhoni to become MS Dhoni”- Ganguly said on the comparison of Dhruv Jurel and MSD.

He compared the young wicketkeeper to MS Dhoni. However, Sourav Ganguly is not happy with his statement and has now given a strong reply to Jurel’s comparison with Dhoni. Sourav Ganguly’s opinion on comparison between MS Dhoni and Dhruv Jurel While talking to RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “MS Dhoni is a player in a different league. There is no doubt that Jurel has talent…but it took 15-20 years for MS Dhoni to become MS Dhoni. So let him (Jurel) play. His ability impressed me the most. His ability to play spinners, his ability to play against fast bowlers. His ability to play under pressure is what you want to see in a young player. He also has a good temperament.” In fact, during the commentary in the fourth Test match, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Of course he has batted well, but his keeping and his work behind the stumps have been equally excellent. Looking at his sporting awareness, I want to say that he is the second emerging MS Dhoni. I know there can never be another MSD, but you know he has the presence of mind, MSD was like that when he started and Jurel has the awareness of the game. He is a street-smart cricketer.” Let us tell you that the fifth and last match of the series will be played from March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala.
