Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have been opening the RCB team for the last two seasons. Royal Challengers Bangalore( Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) The Indian Premier League 2024 is going to start very soon and all the teams would like to perform well in the upcoming season. Talking about Indian Premier League 2023, Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans in the final. Talking about IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore, the team has not won the IPL trophy even once. RCB’s performance has been good in the IPL but the team has failed to win the trophy. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have been opening the RCB team for the last two seasons. So far, both of them have made 100-run partnership for the first wicket four times for the franchise. However, the team may make major changes in its opening partnership in the upcoming season. Either Faf du Plessis or Virat Kohli can be seen batting at number three. Today we tell you about three such opening partnerships that RCB can try in IPL 2024. 1- Virat Kohli and Cameron Green Cameron Green (Photo Source: Twitter) Virat Kohli can be seen opening the RCB team in the upcoming season and Australia’s best all-rounder Cameron Green can play very well with him. RCB had traded Cameron Green from Mumbai Indians for Rs 17.50 crore. In the upcoming season, Cameron Green would definitely like to leave his mark for the RCB team with the bat. The best thing is that Cameron Green is in very good form at the moment and he would like to continue his form in IPL 2024 also. Cameron Green’s strike rate in T20 cricket is above 150 and he can prove to be quite lethal in the powerplay.
Ranji Trophy 2024: Tension for DC before IPL 2024, Prithvi Shaw could not score runs in the semi-finals against Tamil Nadu
At present Mumbai has scored 288 runs and have two wickets in their hand. Prithvi Shaw (Pic Source-Twitter) Ranji Trophy 2024, 2nd Semi-Final Mumbai vs Tamil Nadu: Mumbai’s star bowlers Tushar Deshpande and Shardul Thakur are wreaking havoc on Tamil Nadu in the semi-final match of Ranji Trophy 2024. 41-time Ranji Trophy champion Mumbai is currently on top in the semi-final match being played at the MCA Cricket Ground in Bandra. However, Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw flopped miserably in the semi-final match of Ranji Trophy 2024, which does not bode well for Delhi Capitals (DC) before the upcoming IPL 2024. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu won the toss and decided to bat first and this was a huge mistake as their top 5 batsmen flopped badly. Only Vijay Shankar (44 runs) and Washington Sundar (43 runs) could score for Tamil Nadu. Shardul Thakur did not hit Prithvi Shaw’s bat. Apart from these, no other batsman could make any significant contribution and most of the batsmen were out on single digit scores, due to which Tamil Nadu team was able to post only 146 runs on the board at the loss of 10 wickets in the first innings. For Mumbai, Shardul Thakur, Musheer Khan, Tanush Kotian took two wickets each, while Tushar Deshpande took three wickets, while Mohit Awasthi also took one wicket. After this, the start of the Mumbai team, which came to bat, was also nothing special, because opener Prithvi Shaw faced only 9 balls and lost his wicket to Kuldeep Singh after scoring 5 runs. After this, Bhupen Lalwani became the victim of Sai Kishore after scoring 15 runs. Mumbai is in a strong position now However, Musheer Khan managed to score 55 runs in 131 balls, while Mohit Awasthi and Ajinkya Rahane departed with 2 and 19 runs respectively. On the other hand, Sandeep Warrier clean bowled Shreyas Iyer for just three runs, and Hardik Tamore managed to score 35 runs. However, thanks to Shardul Thakur’s century, Mumbai team still remains on top in the match. At present Mumbai has scored 288 runs and have two wickets in their hand.

Virat and Faf will not open for RCB in IPL 2024 – shocking statement of former cricketer
Du Plessis was the leading run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2023, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that if the pair of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis do not perform well at the beginning of IPL 2024, then Royal Challengers Bangalore may change their opening combination. Du Plessis was the leading run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2023, scoring 730 runs in 14 innings at an average of 56.15 and a strike rate of 153.68. Kohli was the second-highest run-scorer for the franchise last season, scoring 639 runs in 14 innings at an average of 53.25 and a strike rate of 139.82. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra did not pick Kohli and Du Plessis in his top three opening pair in IPL 2024. Explaining the reason behind this, he said, “RCB’s Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli were a very successful pair last year. They can still be very, very good. The only caveat on why I haven’t placed him in the top three is that Faf has played very little cricket since then. This will be a problem. In such a situation, you may see a change in the starting combination.” Chopra believes that if the opening combination of Kohli and Du Plessis fails then RCB can open with Will Jacques or Cameron Green. However, he said that the RCB captain can be dismissed at his own peril and Kohli is Kohli. RCB’s full squad for IPL 2024: Faf du Plessis (captain), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyyash Prabhudesai, Glenn Maxwell, Will Jacques, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Sourav Chauhan, Swapnil Singh. , Vijaykumar Vishak, Akash Deep, Lockie Ferguson, Tom Curran, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan.
IPL 2024: “He will answer everyone with his bat” – Aakash Chopra said about Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan had scored 454 runs in IPL 2023. Ishan Kishan Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Ahead of IPL 2024, famous cricket commentator Aakash Chopra expects the Mumbai Indians duo, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma to form a strong opening partnership. Kishan impressed everyone with his performances in IPL 2023, scoring 454 runs in 15 innings that season at a respectable average of 30.27 and a strike rate of 142.76. In contrast, that season was not that good for Rohit. He scored 332 runs in 16 innings, where he averaged 20.75 and strike rate was 132.80. Chopra’s pre-season rankings have Yashasvi Jaiswal-Jos Buttler and Ruturaj Gaikwad-Devon Conway as the top-2 opening pairs for IPL 2024, while Kishan-Rohit are at number three in that list. Kishan was recently dropped from the central contract of BCCI. In such a situation, this IPL season can be very important for them. If Kishan performs well in IPL 2024, he may get a place in India’s T20 World Cup team. In such a situation, as soon as the IPL season starts, all eyes will be on the opening pair of Mumbai Indians who will rock the stage and stake their claim on the international stage. Ishan Kishan will have a lot to prove in this IPL season – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I now want to move towards Mumbai. First of all, you have relieved Rohit Sharma of captaincy duties. When we talk about a top class player like Rohit Sharma, we say that a 600-run season will definitely happen. However, he has never had a 600-run season. “This could be that season.” He further added, “There is nothing to prove, but still, there is a lot to prove. I think he will do a lot because he is not the captain. Ishan Kishan must be hungry because he has not got the central contract. It’s the only thing he’s playing. What else is he playing?” The former opening batsman further said, “Either he himself has chosen not to play, or he will no longer be selected. So this is their chance. If you make IPL yours, you have chances to move ahead. Then, of course, Wankhede is a flat pitch, the ball will come on the bat well and go far.”
