However, before the upcoming season, there is a possibility that the franchise may part ways with Langer. On the other hand, Laxman can join LSG as a batting coach, mentor or head coach.

(Photo by Morne de Klerk/Getty Images) The fast bowler was the talk of the town ever since Kolkata Knight Riders signed Mitchell Starc for Rs 24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. He did not have a good start to the tournament, which added more pressure on him. But Starc never cared about the criticism.

Now speaking openly about the salary and the trolling he faced, Starc said that he laughed it off as both the players played the final. Starc proved to be a big match player, leading KKR to success in Qualifier 1 and the final, and played a key role in helping the team win the trophy.

Now talking about the same, Starc joked about how people were saying why so much money was spent on them and we both were playing in the final. Mitchell Starc gave a statement on the trolling happening regarding IPL salary “I laughed. The first game of the IPL, we played against Hyderabad. Pat Cummins and I both got paid a lot of money. When we played the first game, it was a bit funny. It just so happened that we ended up playing against each other in the final nine weeks later. Suddenly everything changed for both of us. We were laughing about why we were paid so much, then we started thinking that well we got paid to play in the final. Isn’t it funny?” “After that, when the KKR player saw the cheque after the team won, it was Rs 20 crore. He immediately said, you have received a salary higher than this.”

“He came three days before the IPL started… I was shocked that…” – Nitish Reddy said about Cummins
Pat Cummins performed brilliantly under the captaincy of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. The SRH team managed to reach the final this season, where they had to face defeat at the hands of KKR. Although all the players of SRH performed well this season, but one player who impressed everyone with his performance was Nitish Kumar Reddy. His brilliant performance in the IPL 2024 season for Sunrisers Hyderabad caught the attention of the BCCI selectors. After this, he was included in Team India for the first time for the Zimbabwe tour. However, fate had something else in store and he was ruled out of IPL 2024 due to a hernia injury. In this way, the wait for his debut for India increased further. Nitish Reddy made a big statement about Pat Cummins Meanwhile, during a recent interview, Nitish Reddy talked about playing under the captaincy of Pat Cummins. In an interview with News18 CricketNext, Nitish Reddy said that, Pat joined just three days before the IPL. Meanwhile, I did well in the practice games and the coach was really impressed. But I wanted the captain to know. I said, ‘Does he know how I play and how I see the game?’ But when he joined, he said, ‘Nitish, you are playing very well.” The all-rounder was surprised to learn that Cummins had watched his batting videos on YouTube. The Australian captain’s move boosted Reddy’s confidence immensely and strengthened his belief in his own abilities. The young all-rounder further added, “I was kind of shocked that how did he know about my batting? He didn’t see me in the practice sessions, so I asked him about it, and he said that he saw my batting videos on YouTube and appreciated my talent. So this is really a kind of encouragement for me.”
“Because of captaincy in IPL….” Rituraj Gaikwad made a bold statement about his batting
Indian batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad has said that after captaining IPL franchise CSK, he has now become more involved in the game. Ruturaj Gaikwad (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The third match of the 5-match T20 series between India and Zimbabwe will be played at Harare Sports Club on July 10. Talking about the 2 matches played so far, Zimbabwe has won one, while in the second match, India made a great comeback by winning and leveled the series 1-1. Rituraj Gaikwad made a great comeback After getting out for 7 runs in the first match, Gaikwad proved his form in the second match by playing a brilliant unbeaten innings of 77 runs. Indian batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad has said that after captaining IPL franchise CSK, he has now become more involved in the game. Notably, Gaikwad was appointed the captain of CSK ahead of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) after Dhoni resigned from the captaincy. The 27-year-old had a good start to his captaincy tenure as Chennai began the tournament with four wins out of the first six matches. However, the team failed to maintain the momentum and missed out on a playoff berth after losing their last match against RCB. Despite failing to take his team to the playoffs in his first stint as captain, Gaikwad has learned a lot as he now wants to bat with responsibility and finish the game on his own. He feels he is now more involved in the game than before. Let’s find out what he said- “Nothing much has changed really, batting has remained the same. It is all about playing with responsibility and finishing it on your own, so nothing has changed. It just depends on how you approach the game each time. You have captained an IPL franchise for a long time, so now you are more involved in the game. So, you stay in the game for a longer period of time rather than just hitting boundaries and focusing on one ball.”
