This season, with long hair, Mahi has shown her old look to the fans. Mahi is batting in such a stormy manner in the last over that everyone is surprised to see him. Let us tell you, Mahi had played a stormy inning of 28 runs with the help of 3 fours and 2 skyscraper sixes in 9 balls against Lucknow Super Giants at Ekana Stadium.

Stephen Fleming gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni’s batting order. Regarding MS’s batting order LSG vs CSK After the match, Stephen Fleming said in the press conference, “MS Dhoni had a knee problem and he is still recovering from it. For this reason, he plays only a few balls, so that he can bat in the best possible manner. When the time comes, he will be made to bat longer but for now we want him to come for 2-3 overs and play such impactful innings.” Fleming believes that, Dhoni is doing a fantastic job as a finisher and instead of asking him to bat up top, other batsmen should take more responsibility of creating the platform for him. CSK coach said that, “It is up to the rest of the batting unit to put us in a good position where they can take us to the top. He is doing it every time at the moment, which is great to see and what an amazing thing. We are so proud of him when he goes out to the crease and entertain and we are amazed by the love he gets.”

“If you don’t know ‘C’ in cricket, then nonsense….” Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma got angry over which agenda item?
Know that the King will always be the King: Rajkumar Sharma Virat Kohli In the 19th match of IPL 2024, Rajasthan Royals faced Royal Challengers Bangalore on 6 April. Rajasthan won the toss and invited RCB to bat first. Kohli played a century of 113 runs in 72 balls and took the team’s score to 183 runs. Rajasthan Royals, chasing the target, won the match by 6 wickets with 5 balls remaining. While everyone praised Kohli’s century, there were some people who were trolling Kohli for his century. In fact. Virat Kohli batted at a strike rate of 156.94 and scored a century in 72 balls. He completed his century in 67 balls and by doing so a record was registered in his name. Actually, this was the slowest century in IPL history. Kohli now jointly shares this record with Manish Pandey. Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma responded to critics Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma strongly condemned the critics who were targeting and trolling Kohli for his innings. Rajkumar Sharma expressed anger at those criticizing Kohli’s strike rate and dismissed their comments as “nonsense”. He believes that people who want attention simply follow Kohli and take advantage of his popularity. He said, “Some people who are saying this nonsense, I think they were not able to understand the match, what was the situation of the match and how the team was struggling. They speak only to be in the news. If you talk about a normal player, it will not give any meaning. But if you speak about a player like Virat Kohli, you will remain in the headlines.” When Rajkumar Sharma was asked about the identity of the critics, he said- “Look, there are no cricket experts or old players, but a lobby which is running an agenda. They are just pushing an agenda, and as fans we don’t care about such things. Know that the King will always be the King. A person who even knows the ‘C’ of cricket would never do such nonsense.”
“They have very talented players to choose from”- RCB head coach on Virat’s T20 World Cup selection
Virat Kohli played a brilliant century against Rajasthan Royals on 6th April, which everyone is praising at the moment. But he is also being criticized a lot for the strike rate at which he scored his century. After seeing this inning of his, now there is only one question in everyone’s mind whether he will get a place in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup to be held in June. Now RCB coach Andy Flower has given his opinion on this issue. Speaking about India’s T20 World Cup selection, the RCB coach said that, he does not know what the Indian selectors are thinking at the moment. However, he further said that, Kohli is currently on top among the players available for selection for this ICC event to be held in June. Andy Flower said, “Virat Kohli is a great player and the brilliant innings he played today was excellent. And it was actually really beautiful to see. I really won’t comment on the selection of the Indian team. I don’t know what they’re thinking. They have very talented players to choose from, you know, the team doesn’t have a better player than Virat Kohli in terms of experience.” The RCB coach was highly critical of the team’s batting performance as he felt that Kohli and captain Faf du Plessis failed to utilize the start they had given the team. Flower believes that the team started well with the ball but their momentum ended in the last over of the powerplay. He said, “To be honest, we were a little light in scoring runs. Given the head start we had, I felt that way. So if you look at the 12th over, I think we were at 107 without losing any wicket. I think we should have done that, after being in that position on a good pitch, we should have gone beyond 200, but it did not happen. We started well with the ball, Topli and Yash made a great start but the momentum went in their favor in the last over of the powerplay.
25 year old Ashutosh Sharma of Punjab Kings could have sacrificed his life because of his coach, revealed the dark secret of the cricket world?
I scored 90 runs from 45 balls but despite this I was dropped from the team: Ashutosh Sharma Ashutosh Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) After playing the best match of his short career during IPL 2024, Punjab Kings’ Ashutosh Sharma talked about his toughest phase.

Ashutosh Sharma was in depression because of the coach Talking about the time between 2020-2022, Ashutosh revealed that he was uncertain about his cricket future. Because despite good and fast innings, he was dropped from the Madhya Pradesh team. “I used to go to the gym and then go to my hotel room,” Ashutosh was quoted by PTI as saying without naming the coach. I was going into depression, no one told me what was my fault. A new coach had joined Madhya Pradesh and I was not able to understand his likes and dislikes. I had scored 90 runs from 45 balls but despite this I was dropped from the team.” Although Ashutosh Sharma did not take anyone’s name, but according to the timeline, it is understood that Ashutosh is referring to Chandrakant Pandit, who is currently the head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders. 25-year-old Punjab Kings star young player Ashutosh further said, “I had scored three fifties in six Mushtaq Ali matches last season, yet I was not allowed to go on the field, I was very sad.” How did Ashutosh Sharma join Punjab Kings?

This feat not only highlighted his batting talent but also brought him into the limelight, attracting the attention of Punjab Kings. Meanwhile, the franchise’s cricket director and railway veteran Sanjay Bangar recognized Ashutosh’s potential and decided to include him in the team.
“One thing I like about Cummins is that he is a bit like MS Dhoni”- SRH head coach Tom Moody
In a thrilling encounter played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by six wickets. The home crowd looked very happy after this victory of Hyderabad. Meanwhile, former Australian cricketer and SRH coach Tom Moody has praised Cummins’ captaincy. Let us tell you that Cummins, known for his bowling ability in Test and ODI cricket, has impressed everyone with his captaincy in the IPL 2024 match. As captain, he has taken some decisions this season which everyone is praising. Meanwhile, head coach Moody has also drawn similarities between Cummins’ captaincy approach and the captaincy approach of the great MS Dhoni. SRH head coach Tom Moody praised Pat Cummins’ captaincy. “One thing I like about Cummins is that he is a bit like MS Dhoni,” Tom Moody was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. He’s willing to make a decision that most people don’t think about but that makes you feel like ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ The most special thing in today’s match was that while bowling, Cummins got the first over bowled by Abhishek Sharma instead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Moody appreciated this new thinking of Cummins. The head coach also admitted that Cummins tries to take some different decision all the time, due to which the team gets good results on some occasions. He said, “Like Abhishek Sharma. It was quite a strange decision when you look at the other options they could have gone with. You definitely have the best new ball bowler in IPL history in Bhuvneshwar Kumar. You have an off-spinner against a left-handed batsman. You think Markram or another bowler could have bowled that over, but he was committed to it and seemed to have convinced himself that it was the right decision.”
