DTVHINDIIPL 2024: Faf-Virat or someone else? Know who can be the opening pair of RCB in the upcoming season?
Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have been opening the RCB team for the last two seasons. Royal Challengers Bangalore( Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) The Indian Premier League 2024 is going to start very soon and all the teams would like to perform well in the upcoming season. Talking about Indian Premier League 2023, Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans in the final. Talking about IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore, the team has not won the IPL trophy even once. RCB’s performance has been good in the IPL but the team has failed to win the trophy. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have been opening the RCB team for the last two seasons. So far, both of them have made 100-run partnership for the first wicket four times for the franchise. However, the team may make major changes in its opening partnership in the upcoming season. Either Faf du Plessis or Virat Kohli can be seen batting at number three. Today we tell you about three such opening partnerships that RCB can try in IPL 2024. 1- Virat Kohli and Cameron Green Cameron Green (Photo Source: Twitter) Virat Kohli can be seen opening the RCB team in the upcoming season and Australia’s best all-rounder Cameron Green can play very well with him. RCB had traded Cameron Green from Mumbai Indians for Rs 17.50 crore. In the upcoming season, Cameron Green would definitely like to leave his mark for the RCB team with the bat. The best thing is that Cameron Green is in very good form at the moment and he would like to continue his form in IPL 2024 also. Cameron Green’s strike rate in T20 cricket is above 150 and he can prove to be quite lethal in the powerplay.
IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill is working hard to cement his place in the team, training alone at PCA Stadium
Shubman Gill came into the series with poor form. The right-handed batsman had not scored a single century while batting at number three since the 2023 tour of West Indies. Shubman was failing with the bat even in the first innings of the opening Test match in Hyderabad. After that, to save his place in the Test team, the batsman scored a brilliant century in Vizag and then played an inning of 91 runs in Rajkot. Shubman might have completed his century in Rajkot also, but was run out in the second innings of the match. The batsman played an important role in the fourth Test match in Ranchi and remained unbeaten on 52 runs in the last innings of the match on a difficult pitch and contributed significantly to the team’s position. Before the fifth Test match, Shubman Gill was seen honing his batting skills with his father. India defeated England by 5 wickets in the fourth test match thanks to the strong partnership of Dhruv Jurel and Shubman Gill. With that win, India has taken a 3-1 lead in the Test series.
Virat and Faf will not open for RCB in IPL 2024 – shocking statement of former cricketer
Du Plessis was the leading run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2023, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that if the pair of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis do not perform well at the beginning of IPL 2024, then Royal Challengers Bangalore may change their opening combination. Du Plessis was the leading run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2023, scoring 730 runs in 14 innings at an average of 56.15 and a strike rate of 153.68. Kohli was the second-highest run-scorer for the franchise last season, scoring 639 runs in 14 innings at an average of 53.25 and a strike rate of 139.82. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra did not pick Kohli and Du Plessis in his top three opening pair in IPL 2024. Explaining the reason behind this, he said, “RCB’s Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli were a very successful pair last year. They can still be very, very good. The only caveat on why I haven’t placed him in the top three is that Faf has played very little cricket since then. This will be a problem. In such a situation, you may see a change in the starting combination.” Chopra believes that if the opening combination of Kohli and Du Plessis fails then RCB can open with Will Jacques or Cameron Green. However, he said that the RCB captain can be dismissed at his own peril and Kohli is Kohli. RCB’s full squad for IPL 2024: Faf du Plessis (captain), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyyash Prabhudesai, Glenn Maxwell, Will Jacques, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Sourav Chauhan, Swapnil Singh. , Vijaykumar Vishak, Akash Deep, Lockie Ferguson, Tom Curran, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan.

IND vs ENG: Jaiswal will create history by scoring 120 runs in Dharamshala Test, will break Gavaskar’s 53 year old record
Sunil Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal. (Image Source: BCCI) India are set to face England in the fifth and final Test of the series at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala from March 7. India have already taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series thanks to their five-wicket win at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. This series will be remembered for a long time in cricket history. In fact, in this series against England, the Indian team managed to overcome the obstacles and eliminate the menace of ‘buzzball’. Many senior players of Team India were not available in this series, due to which four players got a chance to debut. While some players took advantage of that opportunity, some players could not capitalize on that opportunity. Yashasvi Jaiswal would like to break Sunil Gavaskar’s record in Dharamsala test match Talking about the upcoming match, Team India’s opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal will have his eyes on creating history in this match. Jaiswal has performed brilliantly in this series so far. So far, he has scored 655 runs in 8 innings of 4 matches with an excellent average of 93.57. His best score during this period has been 214 runs unbeaten. If Jaiswal is successful in scoring 120 runs in both the innings of the Dharamshala Test, then the record of scoring the most runs in a series as an Indian batsman will be registered in his name. This record is still in the name of former veteran player of Team India, Sunil Gavaskar. Sunil Gavaskar has crossed the 700-run mark twice in a Test series. The Little Master scored 774 runs in 4 matches at an impressive average of 154.80 during the Test series against West Indies in 1971. In the series played in 1978, he scored 732 runs in 6 matches with an average of 91.50. No one has been able to break this record of Sunil Gavaskar for the last 53 years. Virat Kohli definitely came close to him but he could not break Gavaskar’s record.

“It took 15-20 years for MS Dhoni to become MS Dhoni”- Ganguly said on the comparison of Dhruv Jurel and MSD.

He scored 90 runs in the first innings and remained unbeaten on 39 runs in the second innings. Jurel received the Player of the Match award for his excellent batting and wicketkeeping in both the innings. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar was also very happy to see this performance of Dhruv Jurel. He compared the young wicketkeeper to MS Dhoni. However, Sourav Ganguly is not happy with his statement and has now given a strong reply to Jurel’s comparison with Dhoni. Sourav Ganguly’s opinion on comparison between MS Dhoni and Dhruv Jurel While talking to RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “MS Dhoni is a player in a different league. There is no doubt that Jurel has talent…but it took 15-20 years for MS Dhoni to become MS Dhoni. So let him (Jurel) play. His ability impressed me the most. His ability to play spinners, his ability to play against fast bowlers. His ability to play under pressure is what you want to see in a young player. He also has a good temperament.” In fact, during the commentary in the fourth Test match, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Of course he has batted well, but his keeping and his work behind the stumps have been equally excellent. Looking at his sporting awareness, I want to say that he is the second emerging MS Dhoni. I know there can never be another MSD, but you know he has the presence of mind, MSD was like that when he started and Jurel has the awareness of the game. He is a street-smart cricketer.” Let us tell you that the fifth and last match of the series will be played from March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala.

“I was surprised by his decision not to play” – Sourav Ganguly said about Ishan Kishan being out of contract
BCCI removed Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer from the central contract. Sourav Ganguly and Ishan Kishan. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly expressed surprise at Ishan Kishan’s decision not to play Ranji Trophy this season after being dropped from the BCCI’s central contract. BCCI recently announced the central contract, in which big players like Kishan and Shreyas Iyer were not included. Kishan had declared himself unavailable for domestic cricket after the South Africa Test series. Kishan had taken a break from domestic and international cricket due to mental fatigue. In an interview with RevSports, when Ganguly was asked about Kishan not playing Ranji Trophy, he replied. Ganguly said, “You should play first class cricket. Once you become a contracted player, you are expected to play in premier tournaments. Shreyas Iyer is going to play in the semi-finals for Mumbai in a few days. Yes, they are young people and Ishaan has surprised me. He was a part of the Indian team in all formats. Such a big contract in IPL. I don’t know why they did this. You should play especially when you are talented like Ishan Kishan. When you are playing for India in all formats, you must play. I was surprised by his decision not to play.” Furthermore, Ganguly also supported BCCI’s decision to drop both Shreyas and Ishan from the central contracts. BCCI’s decision regarding Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer is absolutely right – Sourav Ganguly He further said, “I think BCCI wants him to play first class cricket. I am surprised that Shreyas Iyer has not played Ranji Trophy. This is a major tournament and you should play. So, it is BCCI’s decision and they have done the right thing. “Every contracted cricketer should play first-class cricket because that is the foundation of cricket in this country.” The BCCI’s decision to exclude players like Kishan and Iyer from central contracts can be seen as a measure to emphasize the importance of first-class cricket. While Iyer is playing the Ranji Trophy semi-final match for Mumbai, Kishan was also seen playing the match with Hardik Pandya in the DY Patil T-20 Cup 2024.
“Face the challenges and come back even stronger” – Shastri said in support of Shreyas and Ishaan

When BCCI announced the central contracts of its 30-member players on Wednesday, it clearly stated that the names of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan were not considered for its annual contracts. Meanwhile, former cricketer and head coach of Team India, Ravi Shastri has tweeted in support of Iyer and Ishaan. Posting on X, Ravi Shastri wrote, “In the game of cricket, comebacks define emotion.
