A large section of fans did not support Hardik when he switched from Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians and became the captain. Apart from this, his form was also poor during IPL 2024, due to which fans trolled him. However, with the arrival of the T20 World Cup, Hardik Pandya has returned to his rhythm. In India’s first match against Ireland, he proved his ability and bowled brilliantly. He took three wickets for 27 runs in his four-over spell. Sunil Gavaskar is very impressed with his performance and has praised Hardik a lot. He bowled four consecutive overs, which is commendable: Sunil Gavaskar Speaking on Star Sports, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Playing for India is a big deal. The way he was running was quite impressive. He bowled four consecutive overs, which is commendable. It is not like he bowled two overs and took a break.” On his performance against Ireland, Hardik said that I really liked the first wicket. Generally, I did not hit the ball on the stumps often, my tendency is to bowl back of length. But on this wicket I needed to bowl a lot more full length to stay in the game. Yes, if you bowl short, the ball can go in the air. Talking about the India vs Ireland match, the Ireland batsmen fell to their knees in front of the Indian bowlers. The Irish team collapsed for 96 runs in 16 overs. In reply, India achieved the target in 12.2 overs by losing two wickets. Captain Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant half-century. Rishabh Pant scored an unbeaten 36 runs.

Tomorrow on June 1, it will play a practice match against Bangladesh, which will be the last chance to get accustomed to the conditions. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has made a big statement about Shivam Dube. Raina believes that Shivam Dubey will be the X-factor for India during the T20 World Cup 2024. He feels that based on Dubey’s brilliant batting during India’s T20I series against Afghanistan in January and then in IPL 2024, he should be included in India’s playing XI. Let us tell you that Shivam Dube performed brilliantly with the bat in the series against Afghanistan. He scored 126 runs in two innings and also took two wickets. For which he was also selected as the Player of the Series. His all-round performance played an important role in India’s series win. He can make a big difference – Suresh Raina Dubey continued his form in IPL 2024. He scored 396 runs in 14 matches while representing Chennai Super Kings. Due to his consistent performance, he has been included in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Speaking at the launch ceremony of the World Championship of League, Raina explained how Dubey can make a big difference with his aggressive batting. Raina said, he has to play in the World Cup. Look, the ability to stand still while hitting big sixes is very rare. Shivam Dubey can be the X-factor in India winning the World Cup. So Rohit will have to take a decision whether he wants to play Virat (Kohli) at the top, Yashasvi is also batting in a different way, if the situation comes, Shivam can also bowl for the team. Players like Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant are also India’s big-hitting batsmen in the World Cup. Now it will be interesting to see how Dubey is finally used in the playing XI.
Sanju Samson doesn’t know captaincy… The veteran told what blunder Rajasthan made against SRH and lost
Tom Moody believes that spinners had no role in SRH’s bowling, but Rajasthan gave that weak link a chance to dominate. Sanju Samson (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) SRH defeated Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 of the ongoing season and became the second team to reach the final of the season. For SRH, spinners Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed turned the match around at the last moment which played an important role in Hyderabad’s victory. Now former Australian cricketer and head coach Tom Moody is surprised why Rajasthan Royals (RR) did not send left-handed batsman Shimron Hetmyer against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) left-arm spinners Shahbaz Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma. He believes that Hetmyer should have batted at number five after Riyan Parag, because he could have stopped the havoc of these two spinners and the result of the match would have been different. Moody revealed how SRH’s spin bowling was one of the weak links Moody believed that spinners had no role in SRH’s bowling, but Rajasthan gave that weak link a chance to dominate. Tom Moody while talking to ESPNCricinfo said- “It was completely understandable that Hetmyer should have batted ahead of Dhruv Jurel. Jurel batted well, but even if he had batted after Hetmyer, he would have batted well. Rajasthan just had to target those 2 left-arm bowlers, which Hetmyer could do well being a left-handed batsman. SRH had nothing in the name of spinner, yet Rajasthan made such a big blunder.” At the same time, former New Zealand fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan believes that if RR had sent a left-handed batsman instead of a right-handed batsman after Shahbaz Ahmed started his spell, then perhaps Cummins would not have given the ball to Abhishek Sharma for the next over and the threat of Abhishek would have been averted from the team.
As soon as SRH reached the final, the veteran called this team the champion of IPL 2024

Sunrisers Hyderabad have secured their place in the final by winning against Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier held on 24 May. In this way, now Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and SRH will face each other in the final to be held on 26 May. Before this title match, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has given his opinion and believes that KKR has a better chance of winning. Pietersen believes that KKR’s spin attack and their recent record against SRH seem to benefit them in the crucial match. KKR has the advantage- Kevin Pietersen He said on Star Sports Cricket Live, I didn’t like the way Sunrisers Hyderabad lost in Ahmedabad and I think it will put them on the backfoot early on Sunday. I didn’t like the way Pat Cummins finished that game. Travis Head bowled and Shreyas Iyer hit a brilliant shot. Pietersen said, knowing that they beat SRH just a few days ago, KKR’s confidence will be very high in the final. So it will be difficult for Sunrisers to move forward, but I think they will do well, because they have won in SA20. So they know how to win. He continued, “The toss is 50-50. You have to consider the possibility of dew and be ready even if dew doesn’t come. It’s all about mindset and confidence. I think KKR have an advantage, given the way they have played, their win in Qualifier-1 and their preparation in the last three or four days.”
‘Keep your mouth shut’, veteran lashes out at fans and franchise after RCB’s exit from IPL 2024
After losing in the eliminator, RCB’s dream of winning the IPL title has once again remained unfulfilled RCB (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rajasthan Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 4 wickets in the Eliminator of IPL 2024. With this defeat, RCB’s dream of winning the IPL title has once again remained unfulfilled. RCB had a very bad start in the first half of the season and won only one out of its 8 matches, but in the second half, Bangalore made a brilliant comeback and won six consecutive matches to make it to the playoffs. After the defeat in the eliminator, Indian cricket team’s great batsman Chris Srikkanth has given a blunt advice to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel, when you are doing well in life, keep your mouth shut and keep moving forward. If you are doing something and make noise about it, then that work can get spoiled. If you played badly, accept criticism- Srikkanth The former cricketer further said that, there was more showing off without any need (after the win against CSK). Therefore everything was destroyed. In cricket you need to shut your mouth and play. Srikkanth said, if you play well, congratulations, if you play poorly, accept criticism, but you should never open your mouth and show aggression. They are congratulating themselves for qualifying for the playoffs and making a great comeback. CSK and MI have done this many times. Both CSK and Mumbai have won many titles. These guys won six matches and were eliminated as soon as they qualified. Let us tell you that RCB has not won the title even once till date. The team finished three runners-up in 17 seasons, but was not successful in lifting the trophy.
“Rohit and Virat should open” – former veteran said after seeing the poor form of Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance in IPL 2024 was quite ordinary. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal (Pic Source-Twitter) T20 World Cup 2024 will be organized right after IPL 2024. For this, BCCI has announced the squad, in which Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli have been given place as top order batsmen. After seeing this squad, there is a question in everyone’s mind that who will open for India in the World Cup? However, looking at the kind of squad the board has selected, fans and cricket experts believe that Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open for India, while Virat Kohli will bat at number three. But considering the poor form Yashasvi Jaiswal is going through, the former veteran all-rounder has suggested the name of a different opening pair for Team India. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should open in the World Cup – Irfan Pathan Irfan Pathan Speaking to Star Sports, he said, “It is a big matter of concern because I believe that Yashasvi Jaiswal should start in the World Cup because he is a left-handed batsman. Therefore the opposing team will not start with the left arm spinner. If Yashasvi is in form then he will be a little hesitant in doing so. However, in this form, the team will think twice. The team will wonder whether they should open with in-form Virat Kohli along with Rohit Sharma, or go with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is young and inexperienced. In such a situation, it is very important for him to come in form.” Pathan further said, “The good thing for Yashasvi is that he will get opportunities because his team has qualified and if they finish in the top two then he will get more opportunities. With this in mind, there are some positives for Yashasvi, but this form will also trouble Rajasthan Royals a lot.” Jaiswal has scored 348 runs in the 13 matches played so far at an average of 29.00.

Jake said that Ponting told him some things about his bat swing, which helped him a lot. Jake Fraser-McGurk, speaking to the Willow Talk podcast, told: “What Ponting said to me really stuck in my mind till now. He told that when I swing the ball at 80 percent instead of 100 percent, I hit the ball much further. All you have to do is connect the ball with the middle of the bat and the ball will go straight across the boundary for a six. I said, ‘Okay, that’s good advice,’ because my head shakes when I swing the bat hard.” “I watched the footage of all the matches I played except the IPL and he is right, when I swing the bat very hard, my head is shaking while practicing on the ball. Ponting is a man who can catch these small things. It’s the little things that you don’t notice…his advice blew my mind.”
