“Nitish Reddy has a special connection with CSK” – Former cricketer told a shocking thing.
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has praised Nitish Kumar Reddy for playing a match-winning innings for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2024. In the match played in Mullanpur on Tuesday, April 9, Reddy scored 64 runs in 37 balls, thanks to this innings SRH set a target of 183 runs for PBKS. After this, Pat Cummins and Company registered a modest two-run victory by restricting Punjab to 180/6. In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Chopra was all praise for Reddy. Reddy was bought by SRH for ₹20 lakh in the IPL 2023 auction. In the match against PBKS, Nitish played a brilliant inning and brought his team out of a difficult situation and took the team to a big score. Aakash Chopra praised Nitish Reddy Chopra said, “Hyderabad’s batting faltered in the beginning. At one time it seemed that even 150 runs might be difficult. However, Nitish Reddy, he was a net bowler with Chennai till last year and won the last match by hitting a six on the last ball and here also he scored runs and scored good runs.” The former opening batsman further said, “The boy bats well. He has strength. In the first 15 years of this tournament, there were very few Indian finishers. That’s why whoever can finish gets his price skyrocketed in the auction. However, now you can look at players like Rahul Tewatia, Shivam Dubey, Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, you can also put Nitish Kumar Reddy in the same list.” Along with this, Aakash Chopra also praised Abdul Samad (25 runs, 12 balls). He said, “Abdul Samad played a short innings but it was also important because going beyond 180 gives you a score worth fighting for. The big names, be it Aiden Markram, Travis Head or Heinrich Klaasen, did not score runs but the Indian players in the Hyderabad team brought the team forward.”

“If you want to score runs, you have to work on it” – Aakash Chopra told the biggest weakness of CSK captain
Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra has exposed a major weakness of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Actually, Chennai Super Kings has to play a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Hyderabad on Friday, April 5 and just before this match, Aakash Chopra talked about the biggest weakness of the Chennai captain this season. Aakash Chopra said that Ruturaj Gaikwad has been troubled a lot by the left arm pacers this season. Left-arm fast bowlers have dismissed Gaikwad in all three of his innings in the current edition of the IPL. Yash Dayal, Spencer Johnson and Khalil Ahmed have sent him to the pavilion by getting him caught out by the wicketkeeper or at first slip. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra picked Gaikwad as Chennai Super Kings’ star performer for Friday’s match. They said that, “I am focusing a lot on the captain because Ruturaj has top class numbers against this team. He has won the Player of the Match award and scored 50 or more runs. So why not Ruturaj Gaikwad? What has happened so far – the left-arm seamers are troubling him.” The former India batsman said that the CSK opener cannot face T Natarajan and Marco Jansen. They said that, “However, we don’t know whether T Natarajan is available or not and I don’t see Marco Jensen playing. When the pitch is so flat, I am very hopeful that he will score runs. He looks in good form but the number of runs is lacking.” Chopra also believed that SRH’s bowling attack could have Jaydev Unadkat as a left-arm fast bowler. However, he also said that the Saurashtra bowler has less chances of dismissing the CSK batsman and even if he does, their batsman will not get out cheaply against CSK.
“He has always told me to take the match till the end as much as possible” – Shashank got Gurumantra from Dhoni
MS Dhoni and Shashank Singh (Photo source: Despite playing for many franchises in the IPL, Shashank Singh could never make a name for himself in this league. There was a lot of confusion after Punjab Kings bought him in the mini auction ahead of IPL 2024 as it was reported that the franchise wanted to sign a different player of the same name. However, in the end, the franchise supported Shashank. Shashank also played some brilliant cricket in IPL 2024 and lived up to the trust of the franchise by playing a match-winning inning of 61* runs in 29 balls against Gujarat Titans. After the match, the 32-year-old cricketer revealed the advice from legendary cricketer MS Dhoni. He told that the former CSK captain had asked to take the match till the end and put pressure on the bowlers. Shashank Singh made a big revelation regarding his conversation with MS Dhoni Shashank said that he tried to react to the ball by remaining calm and did not try to play any hasty shots against Gujarat. My Khel quoted Shashank as saying, “Whenever I have spoken to Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni), he has always told me to take the match till the end as much as possible. He said that when you take the game deeper, there is equal pressure on the bowler as on the batsman. It’s about who keeps the nerves calm. It’s all about the mental thing of staying as calm as possible.. I was taking deep breaths to keep myself calm and react to the ball. Sometimes you become over-smart and play shots in a hurry, but I was playing shots just by seeing the ball. At one time it seemed difficult for Punjab to chase 200 runs, as the team score was 70/4, but after that Shashank and Ashutosh Sharma (31 runs on 17 balls) took over the innings and batted brilliantly to help PBKS win the season. Helped India win its second match. Talking about his partnership with Ashutosh, Shashank said that they complement each other and believe in each other’s abilities.

This season Rishabh Pant has not got a chance to play in even a single match. Ricky Ponting and Prithvi Shaw (Photo Source: Twitter) Delhi Capitals (DC) head coach Ricky Ponting has said some important things about Prithvi Shaw. DC will play against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31.

Because the franchise had David Warner and Mitchell Marsh opening in the first two matches of the season. This pair has not proved to be that successful for DC so far, the team has not won both these matches. Speaking to the media before the DC vs CSK match, Ponting expressed his support for Shaw and talked about the efforts he is making. He also said that due to team combination, they did not get a place for Shaw in the first two matches. Head coach Ricky Ponting gave a big statement regarding Prithvi Shaw Ricky Ponting said, “Yes, he (Shaw) is definitely pushing for it. He has worked hard in the last few weeks. Obviously, our team came into the first match obviously without (Enrique) Norkhia, which allowed us to play four overseas batsmen. So because of this we promoted Mitchell Marsh to the top order due to which Prithvi Shaw did not get a place in the team. Ponting said that Shaw’s selection will be considered based on his performance in the training session before the match. He said, “So, yes, we will keep a very close eye on Prithvi during training and see how well he plays in the nets. And if he impresses everyone today, we will definitely consider his selection.” Let us tell you that Delhi has played two matches this season, where they have lost both the matches. Pant’s team will play its third match of the season today in Visakhapatnam, where it would like to win at any cost.
IPL 2024: “How will Mitchell Starc return to form this season? Irfan Pathan told the formula
Mitchell Starc & Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Team India’s former veteran all-rounder Irfan Pathan has given a big statement regarding out-of-form Mitchell Starc. He explained how Mitchell Starc can regain his form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Kolkata’s fast bowlers have proved to be very expensive so far this season, they have bowled 8 overs so far this season, in which they gave away 100 runs. So far he has played 2 matches against Hyderabad and Bangalore. Let us tell you that in the auction held before IPL 2024, KKR had bought Starc for Rs 24.75 crore, but till now he has not been able to perform as per expectations. For this reason, Starc is being trolled a lot regarding his price tag. On Friday, March 29, Kolkata defeated Bangalore by 7 wickets. In this match, Starc recorded figures of 4-0-47-0. Pathan said Starc needs to find a way to make the ball more lethal for right-handed batsmen. The veteran said that once Starc finds his line-length, it will be very difficult for any opposition team to handle him. Irfan Pathan told Mitchell Starc the formula for comeback Regarding Starc, Irfan Pathan said on Star Sports, “When Starc is swinging the ball, he is in his best form. When that swing starts for a right-handed batsman, he can be even more lethal. And I haven’t seen that in the last two games. Perhaps he has not yet been able to adapt himself to the Indian situation. “Once he adapts to these conditions, or starts getting the inswing, he will be a bowler to watch throughout the IPL.” Steve Smith, Starc’s teammate in the Australian team, said that if Starc gets his swing and bowls at a speed of around 145 km/h, he can become a big threat to any opposition team. Smith said, “I think today he will face a right-handed batsman.” wobble Was trying to swing, which is a good option, but I think he has to keep the right line-length for that. He is a left arm fast bowler who can bowl at 145+ KMPH. For a right-handed batsman, there is no better option than the in-swing of the ball. This is one of the toughest balls to face. So if he gets that swing back, he will become one of the most lethal bowlers again.”
Punjab Kings can get IPL trophy this year or star bowler, Anil Kumble told the name
“He has almost 300 Test wickets and has been playing white-ball cricket for South Africa for a long time. He has that experience and he is a champion bowler. He did not play consistently for Punjab last season. I don’t know what the problem was, whether it was a selection issue or some problem, but I am happy that Punjab has started with Rabada this season. This will definitely give them confidence going forward in the tournament.” Kagiso Rabada’s performance so far in IPL 2024 In his season opener, Rabada conceded 36 runs in his four overs against Delhi Capitals, and took one wicket. On the other hand, against RCB, he bowled much better and took two important wickets of RCB captain Faf du Plessis and Australian Cameron Green while giving away only 23 runs in his quota. However, RCB lost in a last-over thriller in Bengaluru.
Sunil Gavaskar was very impressed with Rituraj’s captaincy, told his 3 biggest qualities
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar talked about the new Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad about his qualities as a captain after the win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). After taking over the captaincy from MS Dhoni, Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings started their 2024 campaign with a win. They defeated RCB by six wickets in the first match of IPL in Chepauk on 22 March. The changes Gaikwad made in bowling and the way he showed confidence in his players made him look quite impressive as a captain. He supported Tushar Deshpande in the death overs, despite the bowler proving very expensive in his first spell. Gavaskar has enumerated three specialties of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy. Sunil Gavaskar told Specialty of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports show, “Absolutely! As a captain, your debut becomes very important. You want to make a good start to your captaincy career with a win and that is what happened. What was impressive was the variation in his bowling. Look how they used Mustafizur. The way he used Mustafizur was absolutely amazing. He kept rotating Deepak Chahar and relied on Tushar Deshpande for the final over. I think given that Tushar Deshpande had conceded 25 runs in an over, he had the opportunity to use another bowler, but he still showed confidence in Tushar Deshpande, and Deshpande did that with a brilliant final over. responded to.” He further added, “So, yes, I think the captaincy was the most impressive. And we see here, of course, he has MS Dhoni around him, who guides him, tells him and encourages him. Sometimes, even a small gesture from an experienced and accomplished person like MSD makes a big difference.”
