(Image Source: X) Indian Premier League 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Gautam Gambhir (Gautam Gambhir) played against Royal Challengers Bangalore (rcb) has been termed as the least achieving team in IPL, whereas at one time they had greats like Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers together. Let us tell you, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face each other in the 10th match of IPL 2024 to be released today on March 29. Before this match, Gautam Gambhir said that as a player he has won many memorable matches against RCB, and today once again he wants to beat Faf du Plessis’ team. I would like to defeat RCB even in my dreams: Gautam Gambhir Gautam Gambhir said on Star Sports: “The one team I wanted to beat every time, even in my dreams, was RCB. The second most high profile team of IPL and a dynamic team, which despite having Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle together, did not win anything, but still their attitude is such that they won everything.” Gambhir also highlighted three of KKR’s most memorable wins against RCB. The KKR mentor further added: “KKR’s three best wins so far against RCB – the first match of the IPL, the 140-run win against RCB off the back of Brendon McCullum’s 158-run innings. When RCB was all out for 49 runs. Century in 6 overs, probably the first time in IPL when 100 runs were scored in the first 6 overs. Whose credit goes to Chris Lynn and Sunil Narayan. Gautam Gambhir concluded: “We always knew that RCB are a very strong team, and probably the most aggressive batting unit with Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, what could be better than this. If I want one thing from my IPL career, the one thing I would love is to go on the cricket field again and beat RCB.” Watch the video here – ,@GautamGambhir thinks @RCBTweets have massively underachieved in the past despite having @imVkohli, @henrygayle and @ABdeVilliers17 Gambhir dreams of getting back on the field and beat Kohli & team yet again!

“MS Dhoni will not play all the matches of IPL 2024” – Big prediction of former veteran cricketer
MS Dhoni (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) West Indies great batsman Chris Gayle has predicted that MS Dhoni will not play all the matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) after Ruturaj takes over the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings (CSK). MS Dhoni stepped down from the captaincy of Chennai ahead of the match between CSK and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 22. Let us tell you that, under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, Dhoni gave CSK its record fifth title by winning the final of IPL 2023 against Gujarat Titans. It was thought that the 2023 edition would be his last season but he expressed his desire to play one more season. He is again playing in IPL 2024 but this time he has entered the field only as a player. MS Dhoni will not play all the matches- Chris Gayle Chris Gayle said before the CSK vs RCB match on Jio Cinema, “Maybe he (MS Dhoni) may not play all the matches. There may be a little break for them in between. So this is the decision. But MSD will do well, don’t worry about it.” Let us tell you that Dhoni retired from international cricket on 15 August 2020, after this he has been playing IPL continuously. However, every year he is asked the same question in IPL, will this be his last IPL season? And every time Dhoni denies this. However, there are high chances that this could be Dhoni’s last IPL season. MS Dhoni looked quite fit in the match played against RCB. In this match, along with taking two catches, he also made one run out. He looked as ready as ever behind the wicket. However, he did not get a chance to bat in this match. It is expected that in the upcoming matches, he will be seen entertaining the fans with the bat also.
