ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024: Jason Behrendorff, who was out of IPL due to injury, now eyes T20 World Cup
Jason Behrendorff got injured while preparing for IPL 2024 Jason Behrendorff. (Photo: Sandeep Mahankal/IANS) Before the start of IPL 2024, a very bad news had come out for the five-time champion Mumbai Indians. Let us tell you that the team’s fast bowler Jason Behrendorff is out of IPL due to injury. He suffered a serious injury while practicing with the team. Let us tell you that he has got Fabula factor in his left leg. It is going to take him at least 8 weeks to recover from this injury, due to which he is out of the entire IPL season. However, now the cricketer will have his eyes set on playing in the T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 2. But after the injury, it is going to be very difficult for him to make a place in Australia’s 15-member team. As far as possible, Cricket Australia is currently looking towards Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins for fast bowling in the T20 World Cup. Had an amazing performance against India However, Behrendorff’s performance in the shortest format of the game has been commendable. This left-arm bowler has taken 19 wickets in 17 T20 matches played for Australia, but his art of taking wickets in the powerplay makes him special among other bowlers. So last year, Jason had performed amazingly for the Kangaroo team in the five-match T20 series against India and recently in the limited overs series against West Indies at home. The 33-year-old bowler was Australia’s highest wicket-taker in the T20 series against India. So taking wickets in every T20 match against West Indies is enough to show Jason’s consistency. But now it will be worth seeing whether he is fit before the T20 World Cup starting from June 2 or not?
3 things that RCB men’s team can learn from WPL 2024 champion RCB women’s team
RCB is the champion of the second season of Women’s Premier League Royal Challengers Bangalore Women (Image Credit- Twitter After waiting for almost 16 years, finally Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been successful in winning its first trophy. Let us tell you that RCB has won the title for the first time by defeating Delhi Capitals by 8 wickets in the final of Women’s Premier League 2024. So this trophy of RCB is going to be very special, because maybe this year will be the year of RCB. Because in the 17th year, RCB has won the final match held on the 17th day of March. It was the fans’ faith in their franchise that every time the team failed, they supported it again with full enthusiasm. Every year RCB’s slogan used to be Ae Saala Cup Namde (This year the cup is ours), but now it has become Ae Saala Cup Namdu (This year the cup is ours). On the other hand, from this victory of RCB women’s team, RCB men’s team can also learn a lot, which has not been able to win the trophy even once after playing three final matches of IPL. Let us know about three lessons that the men’s team can learn from the women’s team: 3. Have faith in your strength RCB, which won only 2 matches in the first season of the Women’s Premier League, decided to improve their bowling this season. For this, he may have weakened his batting, but he strengthened his bowling, and he also believed in his strength. At the same time, this decision of RCB also worked for them, because three bowlers of RCB (Shreyanka Patil, Asha Shobhana and Sophie Molineau) were at the forefront among the top wicket takers of the tournament. They had one of the best bowling line-ups in the WPL. The team had taken one wicket at a span of 22 runs. So, RCB men’s team has a serious pace attack, but they will have to show confidence in their bowling lineup despite the home ground like Chinnaswamy. 2. Peace in dressing form We have often seen during IPL matches that after one or two defeats, there is a lot of turmoil in the RCB camp, due to which the team is seen making small mistakes on the field. There was a similar situation with the women’s team as there were very few chances of reaching the playoffs. But in the important match, all-rounder Ellis Perry worked calmly and performed. On the field he enjoyed his game, without worrying about what the outcome of the match would be. On the other hand, the men’s team takes so much pressure of reaching the playoffs that they forget to enjoy the match and have to face defeat in important matches. 1. Make home ground a fort In the Women’s Premier League, we saw that the women’s team performed brilliantly in front of Chinnaswamy’s home crowd and won 3 out of 5 matches played at home. But the figures of the men’s team are less…

Former owner Vijay Mallya also tweeted for the team. Which is going very viral at the moment. Vijay Mallya tweeted this after RCB won the WPL trophy Vijay Mallya to RCB WPL 2024 Congratulations on winning the title. He also said that if the men’s team also wins the IPL 2024 title this year, then the happiness will double.

Good Luck. — Vijay Mallya (@TheVijayMallya) March 17, 2024 Talking about the match, Shafali Verma gave a great start to the Delhi Capitals team after winning the toss and coming to bat first. The team had scored 61 runs in the powerplay without losing any wicket. After Shafali Verma’s dismissal, the team fell apart like a pack of cards. The entire team was all out on the score of just 113 in 18.3 overs. Smriti Mandhana (31) and Sophie Devine (32) gave a good start to the Royal Challengers Bangalore team while chasing the target of 114 runs and made a partnership of 49 runs for the first wicket. After this, Ellyse Perry scored 35 runs and Richa Ghosh played an unbeaten inning of 17 runs to take RCB to the threshold of victory.
