Captain R Ashwin led the team from the front by scoring half-centuries in all three matches. Dindigul Dragons batsman Baba Indrajeet is not tired of praising Ashwin’s excellent captaincy. He also revealed that winning the IPL title as a captain is Ashwin’s biggest dream. As a captain, he dreams of winning the IPL trophy- Baba Indrajit Baba Indrajit while talking in an interview given to Cricket.com said, Of course, everyone will look at him as a captain, he has a very good cricketing brain. He is always thinking about rising above being a batsman or bowler. He has all the qualities of leadership, I think as a captain he has a dream of winning the IPL trophy, so why not. Ravichandran Ashwin has captained the IPL franchise Punjab Kings in 2018 and 2019. However, the team could not reach the playoffs in both the seasons. Baba Indrajit further said, His involvement was not just in his skills but also in the skills of other players, not only on the field but also off the field. In the last 30-35 days, including the camp (10 days), he was involved the whole time. From the first person to the 20th person, he was involved with everyone and constantly motivated them to improve their fitness and strength. I don’t think any head coach would have worked as much as him.

He has scored 286 runs in 10 innings at an average of 40.85 and a strike rate of 133.02, he is the third highest run scorer in the tournament. Talking about Ashwin’s performance, he has scored 252 runs with the bat at an average of 36 and a strike rate of 152, he is the fifth highest run scorer in the season. Ashwin has also taken 9 wickets at an average of 27.55 and an economy of 7.

While answering this user, Ashwin wrote – because he (the commentator) does not know the rules. See this tweet of Ravichandran Ashwin Cos they don’t know the rule pic.twitter.com/r1B6Ndyyue — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) July 29, 2024 what is the rule of doing mankading So in the year 2017, ICC issued a rule regarding this, according to which – when the batsman standing at non-strike goes out of the crease before the bowler bowls the ball, then during this time if the bowler gets him out, then it is called ‘Mankading’ run out. But the necessary condition for this is that the ball should not have been thrown till the bowler has ‘Mankaded’ the batsman. That is, once the bowler’s hand is ready to throw the ball at around 90 degrees, then he cannot do Mankading during this time. Because at this time it is considered that the bowler was completely ready to throw the ball.

Ranji Trophy 2024: Sulakshan Kulkarni leaves the post of head coach of Tamil Nadu after the controversy in the semi-finals: Reports

In the semi-final match, Tamil Nadu was defeated by Mumbai, who later became the champion of the season. Sulakshan Kulkarni (Image Credit- Twitter Tamil Nadu cricket team head coach Sulakshan Kulkarni has left his post. It is noteworthy that some time ago, Kulkarni had blamed team captain R Sai Kishore for Tamil Nadu’s defeat in the semi-final match of Ranji Trophy 2024. Let us tell you that it was not easy for Kulkarni to leave the coaching post of Tamil Nadu cricket team, because he had signed a coaching deal for several years with Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA). Also, it was the result of the coaching of this former Mumbai cricketer that Tamil Nadu was successful in reaching the semi-finals after the 2016-17 Ranji season. Sulakshan Kulkarni has terminated his contract with Tamil Nadu Cricket Association. But let us tell you that after the defeat in the semi-final match, some players of the team had said that Sai Kishore’s decision was against the team plan. So, after Tamil Nadu’s defeat in the semi-final match of Ranji Trophy, Kulkarni said – I always talk straight, we lost the match at 9 o’clock on the very first day of the match. Everything was set, we won the toss, as a coach, as a Mumbaikar, I know the conditions very well. We should have bowled but the captain had different ideas. After all he is the leader of the team. I can give my feedback and input as to what kind of wickets there are. On the other hand, let us tell you that Tamil Nadu was defeated by Mumbai by a margin of innings and 70 runs in the semi-final match. So, by defeating Tamil Nadu in this match, Mumbai also became the champion of the Ranji season. Also, let us tell you that after Kulkarni left the post of head coach, former Indian cricketer Lakshmipathy Balaji has become the new coach of the Tamil Nadu team.
