Sunrisers Hyderabad made a shameful record in the IPL final under the captaincy of Pat Cummins
Sunrisers Hyderabad lost the IPL 2024 final by 8 wickets. Pat Cummins (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) The IPL 2024 final match was played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders on 26 May at MA Chidambaram Stadium Chepauk. In the match, Hyderabad won the toss and batted first and were all out for 113 runs in 18.3 overs. In response, Kolkata chased the target with 57 balls to spare and won by 8 wickets. Kolkata has captured its third IPL title under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. Sunrisers Hyderabad reached the playoffs this year after the IPL 2020 season. But the team could not win the final under the captaincy of Pat Cummins. The Hyderabad team has registered an embarrassing record in the IPL 2024 final. Hyderabad broke CSK’s record In IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad put 287 runs on the board against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Which is the highest total in IPL history. The team with an explosive batting lineup got badly beaten against Kolkata in the final. The team was all out for 113 runs, which is the lowest total in the final of the league. Team openers Abhishek Sharma (2) and Travis Head were out on golden duck. After this, Rahul Tripathi (9), Aiden Markram (20), Nitish Kumar Reddy (13) and Shahbaz Ahmed (8) also could not do anything special. Heinrich Klaasen scored 16 runs, while Pat Cummins played the highest innings of 24 runs for the team in the final. Let us tell you that the record of the lowest total in the IPL final has been broken after 11 years. Before Sunrisers Hyderabad, the record of the lowest total in the IPL final was in the name of Chennai Super Kings, who had scored 125 runs for the loss of 9 wickets against Mumbai Indians in Eden Gardens in 2013. Lowest totals in IPL finals 113 – SRH vs KKR, Chepauk, 2024125/9 – CSK vs MI, Kolkata, 2013128/6 – RPS vs MI, Hyderabad 2017129/8 – MI vs RPS, Hyderabad 2017130/9 – RR vs GT, Ahmedabad 2022
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.

Was the decision to give the captaincy of Gujarat Titans (GT) to Shubman Gill wrong?
Questions are being raised that despite experienced players like Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan, the decision to make Shubman Gill the captain was wrong, let’s see. Shubman Gill(BCCI/IPL) 3 teams have been eliminated from the playoff race of IPL 2024. Mumbai Indians are the first, Punjab Kings are the second and Gujarat Titans are the third teams whose dream of lifting the IPL trophy this year has been shattered. Gujarat Titans made their IPL debut in the year 2022 and they lifted the IPL trophy in the same year. After this, they reached the finals in IPL 2023 but the team remained runner up after losing to CSK. For both these years, the captaincy of the team was in the hands of Hardik Pandya. However, Gujarat traded its captain Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians at the beginning of this season, due to which the captaincy position became vacant. After that the team management decided to make young opening batsman Shubman Gill the captain. The legacy left by Hardik was handed over to Shubman Gill and the fans as well as the team hoped that Gujarat would go to the playoffs. But this season the team’s performance was very poor. This team has played 13 matches so far in IPL 2024, out of which the team won 5 and lost 7. The match against KKR was canceled and the team’s dream of going to the playoffs was shattered. Was the decision to give captaincy to Shubman Gill wrong? Now questions are being raised that the decision to make Shubman Gill the captain despite experienced players like Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan was wrong. Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has supported Gujarat Titans’ move to hand over the captaincy to Shubman Gill despite their inability to reach the playoffs in IPL 2024. “We have all forgotten what a young player he is. He is still a child of the next generation, so he needs time to learn leadership. He will learn everything gradually. I think he’s a leader, whether he likes it or not. He is a quiet leader. If he can put all those things together and play, I’m sure he has a bright future.”

Addressing the pre-match press conference on Saturday, Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting said, “He (Akshar) has been the vice-captain in this franchise for the last few seasons. He is a very experienced IPL player, an experienced international player, he is a sensible guy and understands the game very well. He is excited about it. We started talking about this a few days ago when there was a possibility that Rishabh could be banned.” He said, “He knows about this. We have had a meeting with our bowlers today. There will be a meeting with everyone tonight, everyone will look at the plans and make sure that they are ready to lead the team well tomorrow.Delhi Capitals are fifth in the points table with 12 points from 12 matches, while they have registered consecutive wins in their last four matches. After this, Ricky Ponting was asked whether there would be an equal competition between the two teams in this match. To which the DC head coach said, “These are all tough games in the IPL.

Gary further said- You definitely miss some players in the tournament, like we have missed Mohammed Shami for 2 years. It is difficult to replace such players.

“When it comes to captaincy, he is the best leader…”- Irfan Pathan said about Rohit Sharma
Irfan Pathan says that there is no better person than Rohit Sharma to captain India in the T20 World Cup.

BCCI has announced the 15-member Indian team for this tournament. Rohit Sharma is ready to captain India once again in the ICC tournament. Former Indian veteran player Irfan Pathan says that there is no better person than Rohit Sharma to captain India in the T20 World Cup. Captaincy is a completely different thing – Irfan Pathan Irfan Pathan says that captaincy is a difficult job, a person like MS Dhoni made it very easy. Virat Kohli is the best captain in test cricket. In recent times, in white ball cricket, you cannot look beyond Rohit Sharma, he is the best leader. Irfan Pathan while talking on Star Sports said, ‘We always talk about players, but captaincy is a completely different thing. We saw what happened to many captains in this IPL; It is not easy. Captaining a team in cricket still holds a lot of importance and that is why we always talk a lot about Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The whole world has given him high status because it is such a difficult job and he has made it very simple. Irfan Pathan further said, ‘After Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat was your best captain till date in Tests, the way he took the team forward. But when it comes to recent white-ball cricket, you can look no further than Rohit Sharma. Even considering the bench strength, he is your best leader. According to Irfan Pathan, these players can captain India in future Irfan Pathan also put forward his views about who can captain the Indian team in the future. They said, ‘In terms of captaincy in the future, his eyes will be on Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. Now we have Hardik Pandya as the vice-captain, and also Rishabh Pant. So, three or four people are ready, but Rohit is number one.
