RCB vs CSK (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Former player Aakash Chopra has given a big statement about Royal Challengers Bangalore before the match against Chennai Super Kings. Let us tell you, today i.e. on 18th May, an important match is to be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. It is very important for both the teams to win this match. Let us tell you, whichever team wins this match will secure its place in the playoffs of this season. According to Aakash Chopra, Royal Challengers Bangalore have won all the matches they have played on May 18. However, he also believes that this match may be canceled due to rain. Royal Challengers Bangalore have so far won 6 out of 13 matches in the Indian Premier League 2024 while they have lost 7. The team has 12 points and is ranked seventh in the points table of the Indian Premier League 2024. But if RCB wins the match against Chennai Super Kings by a long margin then they will qualify for the playoffs this season. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘It all started from here and it has ended again there. On one side is Chennai and in front of them is RCB. The last match was played on 23 March in which Chennai won and now the match between the two teams will be played on 18 May. RCB has won all its matches on May 18. Virat Kohli has scored runs in all the matches played on May 18 and this includes two centuries and one half-century. His jersey number is also 18. This will be a very fun match. However, there is also a possibility of rain. The longer the match, the higher will be RCB’s chances of qualifying. The shorter the match, the more difficult it will be for them to qualify. Here’s the video: Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Today is 18th May and Virat Kohli has a special relationship with this date. He has scored runs in all the matches he has played on May 18. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli in this match. Will Jacques is not there and Glenn Maxwell will have to perform well in his place. His role will be very big in this match. He is such a player who can hit sixes continuously and change the course of the match. He won the match for Australia in one leg. His performance so far in IPL 2024 has been very poor but he would definitely like to leave his mark in the upcoming match. The third player I will focus on is Cameron Green. If the match is of 10 overs then he will be required to bowl one or two overs. Green can also hit sixes continuously. Let Faf do his job in…

RCB vs CSK: Will RCB team be under pressure due to the presence of MS Dhoni?, Swapnil Singh’s reaction
KKR, Rajasthan and Hyderabad have confirmed their places in the IPL 2024 playoffs. Swapnil Singh and MS Dhoni Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad have confirmed their places in the IPL 2024 playoffs. Now only one place is left, for which there will be a tough competition between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both the teams will clash on May 18 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. This match could also be the last match for MS Dhoni. 42-year-old MS Dhoni is suffering from knee problems and is expected to call time on his incredible career at the end of the season. Before the match, RCB all-rounder Swapnil Singh spoke to India Today.in and talked about the impact of MS Dhoni on the game. Swapnil Singh said that the presence of MS Dhoni will not put pressure on RCB, rather it will act as inspiration for the team. He said that Dhoni is highly respected among the players in Indian cricket and in the last few years he has taught a lot to his juniors. His presence there is an inspiration for us – Swapnil Singh Swapnil Singh told India Today.in in an interview, Mahi Bhai will be in front of us. When you see them, certain memories immediately come to your mind. How he keeps things simple in matches. In big matches, how he keeps things even simpler. His presence there is an inspiration for us, not a pressure. I personally will remember his learnings over the years and keep things very simple. On the occasion of RCB’s playoff, he said, we are playing knockout games from our 7th or 8th match. So, it seems normal at this point. Big match against CSK, a lot is at stake in it. If we win by a certain margin, we will also qualify. But when you play, you don’t think about these things, you just focus on your game and try to execute your skills. Let us tell you that now RCB can qualify only by winning against CSK. If RCB defend 200 by a margin of more than 18 runs or chase 200 or more in 18.1 overs, they will qualify by virtue of 14 points and a better net run rate than CSK. If RCB loses in Bengaluru on Saturday or shares points with CSK due to rain, RCB will be out of the playoffs.
South Africa team strongly criticized for selecting only 1 Black African player for T20 World Cup
Kagiso Rabada is the only Black African in the team. Cricket South Africa (Image Credit- Twitter X) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that this time this tournament is going to start from June 2 to be hosted by West Indies and USA. So, Cricket South Africa has recently announced its 15-member team for this multinational tournament. However, after the announcement of the team by the board, it is facing strong criticism. So the main reason behind this is to select only one player from the Black African community in the team. It is noteworthy that only Kagiso Rabada from the Black African community has got a place in the South African team. However, Lungi Ngidi from this community has got a place in the team as a reserve player, but he is not a part of the 15-member team. Strong criticism of South African team Let us tell you that after Cricket South Africa announced the team for the upcoming T20 World Cup, former South African Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula wrote through a post on his official X account – In the Proteas team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 team. The selection of only 1 African player is certainly a reservation of the benefits of the change and does not reflect a fair representation of all South Africans in the national cricket team. Also on this issue, former Chief of Cricket South Africa Ray Mali said- I believe that the team has achieved a lot, but I also believe that we have gone backward in terms of cricket. Instead of moving forward, we have taken a step backward. South Africa’s 15-member squad for T20 World Cup 2024 Aiden Markram (captain), Otneil Bartman, Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock, John Forchin, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, David Miller, Anrich Norkhia, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickleton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs. Reserve players: Nandre Berger and Lungi Ngidi.

Not only this, there were some players who had recently played T20 series against Pakistan. New Zealand cricket team head coach Gary Stead believes that his team may face a lot of challenges in the West Indies. According to ESPNcricinfo, Gary Stead said, ‘West Indies is a very difficult place to start. It is not easy for anyone to be together at the same time in Trinidad and Tobago. Not a warm-up match for us. How our team has many players who have been participating in the IPL for the last two months and some players have just returned from the Pakistan tour. There are many players in our team who are very experienced and have also participated in the Caribbean Premier League for the first time. Therefore, we are expressing confidence in those players and are also trying to make them participate in training as much as possible. From the very first match, we want to perform well against the opposition team and put them under pressure. We would like to give our best performance even against new teams: Gary Stead Gary Stead further said, ‘There are two players who have not participated in the T20 World Cup before. Looking at this, it can be said that there are many experienced players in our team and they already have a lot of experience of playing in this tournament. There are some teams in our group which are new. We would like to perform well against them also and play according to our plan. Let us tell you, New Zealand has been placed in Group C in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. West Indies, Afghanistan, Uganda and Papua New Guinea are also in this group.

In this fantastic tournament, the match between India and Pakistan will be played in New York on June 9. Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has given his stand regarding this match. Harbhajan Singh has previewed the upcoming match. Let us tell you, the performance of the Indian team in the last few ICC events has been quite ordinary and that is why they have not been able to win the trophy of these important tournaments. Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian team won three ICC events. Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian team won the ICC T20 World Cup 2007, ODI World Cup 2011 and Champions Trophy. Speaking in the Star Sports press room, Harbhajan Singh previewed the India vs Pakistan match which will be played in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Harbhajan Singh said, ‘Many people do not know but Dhoni was also the new captain in the 2007 T20 World Cup and he needed support from all of us. In big teams like during matches against Australia, England and New Zealand, we all used to talk together and plan for the next few overs. For example, in the match against Australia, I bowled the 17th or 18th over and we gave only four runs. Later the batsmen were not able to score 25 runs in an over as is the case today. Whatever decision was taken, it was taken together with all the team players. When you play as a team you win most of the matches. Dhoni was a very good listener and he used to give decisions in favor of the team only after everyone’s consent. It was never the case that one player performed well because all of us were playing the match as a team. It is like this this time. Questions should not be raised on Rohit Sharma because he is not alone and it is about playing together. Harbhajan Singh made a big revelation regarding the final over of T20 World Cup 2007. Harbhajan Singh said about the final of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2007, ‘When I finished my over, only one thing was going on in my mind. I was praying that we win this match from here. There was also a discussion going on as to who should be given the last over between me and Joginder Sharma. If Misbah-ul-Haq had not hit a six in my last over, I would have bowled the last over. But a lot of runs were lost in my last over and Misbah was also playing spin very well and that is why we went with Joginder Sharma. He had also said that I would bowl the last over,…
Sourav Ganguly praised Jake Fraser-McGurk, said – Australia should have selected him in the T20 World Cup team
He is just 22 years old and has a long career: Sourav Ganguly Jake Fraser-McGurk (Pic Source-X) Young sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk has won everyone’s hearts with his batting in IPL 2024. The young player has batted explosively while playing for Delhi Capitals. However, despite this, McGurk Fraser has not been selected in Australia’s T20 World Cup 2024 team. Fraser has scored 330 runs in 9 matches in IPL 2024 with an astonishing strike rate of over 234. His aggressive batting style has greatly influenced legends like Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting and David Warner. Meanwhile, Ganguly praised Jake Fraser-McGurk and said that he is hungry to score runs and wants to play well. Despite not being able to make it to the World Cup team, Sourav Ganguly expressed confidence in the ability of the young batsman. Australia should have selected him – Sourav Ganguly Sourav Ganguly said during Delhi Capitals’ match against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday, May 14, he is just 22 years old and has a long career. He has received good guidance while being with Ricky. What I like about him is he’s hungry, he wants to play well. He said, I know he missed the World Cup, Australia probably should have picked him. But that’s what happens when you have many good players like Warner, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh, you will obviously be out. The former Indian captain further said, but he is just 22 years old and has a long career ahead of him. For us, he is a game changer and you need that in this format.
Team India will play just one practice match before the T20 World Cup, why is BCCI fighting over the venue – report
Team India will be able to play only one practice match before the start of its World Cup campaign, but no decision has been taken yet regarding the venue. Team India (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The final match of IPL 2024 will be played on 26 May, after which Team India will start preparing for the World Cup. T20 World Cup 2024 starts from June 2 co-hosted by West Indies and USA. There will not be much time between the end of IPL 2024 and the start of the T20 World Cup, due to which Team India will have to suffer the consequences. Actually, Team India will be able to play only one practice match before the start of its World Cup campaign. However, no decision has been taken yet regarding the venue. Let us tell you how Team India will face problems in its World Cup preparations due to IPL. It is noteworthy that the league phase of IPL is ending on May 19 and the final is to be played on May 26. According to Cricbuzz, there is still a lack of clarity on why only one practice match has been scheduled. Teams usually play two practice matches before the group stage of an ICC tournament. As far as the venue of the only practice match is concerned, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is trying its best to organize it in New York only. This is because India has to play 3 of its four group matches in New York itself. ICC has currently scheduled India’s warm-up match in Florida. But BCCI is emphasizing that the team will be very tired after playing so much cricket due to IPL. At the same time, when the team has less time left, it does not make any sense to go to Florida for a practice match and come back to New York. However, Team India is not in much need of a practice match as their 2 warm-up matches before the start of their campaign in the ODI World Cup 2023 were canceled due to rain. Despite that, India’s performance was on top. The first batch of players will leave for the World Cup on May 26-26. Let us tell you that the first batch of India’s squad will leave for the tournament on 25-26 May. The remaining members involved in the IPL playoffs will join the team after the final. Team India is in Group A of the T20 World Cup along with Pakistan, Canada, United States and Ireland. Their campaign will begin on June 5 with a match against Ireland in New York.
