The Super Giants have already roped in a star-studded coaching panel ahead of the 2024 edition, with Justin Langer as coach and Lance Klusener and Adam Voges as assistant coaches. LSG’s coaching set-up is currently headed by Justin Langer, who will continue in the role after taking over from Andy Flower as head coach ahead of IPL 2024. Lance Klusener and Adam Voges will be the assistant coaches of the team. After securing playoff berths in their first two seasons, the KL Rahul-led side fell short on net run rate to make it to the top four in 2024.

SRH is planning to release these players and bring in new and talented players in the mega auction. Poetry Maran. (Photo Source: Twitter) IPL 2025: These 3 big names will be out of SRH team!: The IPL 2025 mega auction is approaching, and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are looking to make some big changes to the team. SRH performed well in 2024 and finished runners-up, but this time they are all set to win the trophy. In this direction, SRH may have to release some top players even if they do not want to. Let’s know about the three key players whom SRH can drop from the team in the IPL 2025 auction. 1. Aidan Markram Aiden Markaram (Photo Source: Twitter) South African batsman Aiden Markram has been a part of SRH for the past few years and has also made a mark as the captain of SRH Eastern Cape in the SA20 League. However, his performance in IPL 2023 and 2024 has disappointed the team. His record as captain has not been good and the SRH management may consider releasing him and give a chance to new and influential players. 2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Pic Source-Twitter) Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the most experienced players of SRH and played a vital role in leading SRH to the IPL title in 2016. But his form has declined in recent seasons. Bhuvi’s performance has been relatively weak after the injuries. The team may have to release Bhuvi to give a chance to young bowlers. 3. Marco Jensen Marco Jansen (Image Credit- Twitter) Marco Jensen made it to SRH on the basis of his talent, but his performance did not live up to expectations. Jensen did not perform well with the ball and bat last season, due to which SRH may release him in the auction. Why can SRH release these 3 players? Sunrisers Hyderabad wants to make a strong claim to win the title in IPL 2025. For this, they need balance and young energy in the team. Even though Aiden Markram, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jensen have been important players for SRH, the team has to prepare itself for future challenges. Therefore, SRH is planning to release these players and bring in new and talented players in the mega auction. This will not only set a new direction for the team but will also increase SRH’s chances of winning the title.

“Brothers, I made a big mistake”- After keeping MS Dhoni out of the team, DK now apologizes to the fans
Karthik recently did not include the legendary MS Dhoni in his all-time India playing XI. Dinesh Karthik & MS Dhoni (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Team India wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik recently chose his favorite all-time India playing XI. Karthik chose five current cricketers in the team but he did not include former Indian captain MS Dhoni. Cricket fans were shocked to keep the legendary wicketkeeper batsman Dhoni out of the all-time playing XI and Karthik was also severely criticized for this. However, 39-year-old Karthik has now corrected his mistake and apologized to the fans for not selecting Dhoni. He said that it was a big mistake to do so. Along with this, he has also made a claim about Dhoni. Karthik admitted his mistake while answering users’ questions on Cricbuzz. Dinesh Karthik apologized to the fans regarding MS Dhoni The wicketkeeper batsman said, “Bhai log, I made a big mistake. It was really a mistake. I realized it after the video came out. When I selected this XI, many things were happening. I really forgot the wicketkeeper (Dhoni). Fortunately Rahul Dravid was part of the XI so everyone thought that I have kept a part-time wicketkeeper. But I really did not think of Rahul Dravid as a wicketkeeper.” He said that Dhoni is definitely part of the XI and the captaincy will also remain with him. Karthik said, “Can you believe it? Being a wicketkeeper, I forgot to add wicketkeeper. This is a big mistake. Such a big mistake should not have happened. This is very clear to me. Thala Dhoni is completely fit for any format.” Karthik claimed, “I believe that Dhoni is not only India’s but he is one of the greatest cricketers ever to play this game. I really believe so.” He further said, “If I make the team again, I will definitely make one change. Thala Dhoni will be at number 7 and he will be the captain of any Indian team. There is no doubt about it.”
After Shane Warne’s 40-minute conversation, Piyush Chawla created a stir in IPL – know what happened?
Inspired by Shane Warne’s words, Chawla repaid the faith the team had shown in him. (Photo Source: BCCI) Australia’s iconic leg-spinner Shane Warne has helped many budding spinners in his country as well as the rest of the world. However, he passed away in the year 2022. Veteran Indian spinner Piyush Chawla recently recalled a conversation with the late legend Shane Warne, which has had a huge impact on his career. Talking about Piyush Chawla, he represented Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in the first edition of the IPL in the year 2008, when he was just 19 years old. The T20 format was new in India at that time, and like many others, Chawla was also trying to understand the format and gameplay of T20 cricket. He made his T20 debut for Uttar Pradesh in 2007, where he registered impressive figures of 3-23. However, he struggled in the big leagues early in his career, conceding 46 runs in three overs in his first two Indian Premier League (IPL) matches against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). Piyush Chawla made this statement while speaking on 2 Sloggers Podcast “Our first match was against CSK and they had scored 230+ runs. I bowled one over and gave away 20 runs. So I just got one over. I thought ‘no problem. What’s done is done’. After that we reached Jaipur for the second match against Rajasthan Royals. We batted first and I scored 24 runs off 11-12 balls. When I came to bowl, I gave away 30 runs in 2 overs. After that I went to my room and thought ‘this T20 cricket is not my cup of tea’.” He further said, “After the match, Yuvraj came and introduced me to the great Shane Warne. I went to his room and started talking. I was not able to speak English and he was not able to understand much. But whatever little I understood, he understood. After 40 minutes I came out of his room and I am not joking, I felt that there is no bowler better than me. He told me a lot of things and explained me small things about cricket.” Piyush Chawla registered figures of 2- 16 in the next match against Mumbai Indians Inspired by Shane Warne’s words, Chawla justified the faith the team had shown in him. He picked up two wickets for just 16 runs in Kings XI Punjab’s stunning win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Mohali. After this, Chawla never looked back and became one of the highest wicket-takers in IPL history.
