Hardik Pandya & Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: X/Twitter) 5 Times When Irfan Pathan Criticized Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya is seen struggling with poor form in IPL 2024. Neither his captaincy nor his individual performance has been good for Mumbai Indians this season. Hardik Pandya will play the role of Indian vice-captain in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Fans and cricket experts have criticized the all-rounder’s form a lot. Former Indian veteran player Irfan Pathan is also one of those experts. Today let us tell you about those five occasions when Irfan Pathan has criticized Hardik’s captaincy and individual performance. 1. Irfan Pathan believes that BCCI should not give importance to Hardik Pandya. Before the selection of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, Irfan Pathan had said that the Indian management should not give importance to Hardik Pandya as an all-rounder at the international level. While talking on Star Sports Press Room, Irfan Pathan had said, ‘Indian cricket needs to make it clear that they should not give it the same priority as they have given it so far because we have still not won the World Cup. 2. According to Irfan Pathan, Hardik Pandya is the biggest weakness of Mumbai Indians. While sharing a video on his social media, Irfan Pathan had said that Hardik Pandya is the biggest weakness of the Mumbai Indians team. He had said, ‘Mumbai Indians is still a very good team on paper but it is being managed very poorly. Especially, if Hardik Pandya is not in form as a leader, he will become a weak link for his own team. What worries me most is that it is affecting his hitting ability. This is a matter of concern – for the Indian team too. 3. Irfan Pathan held Hardik Pandya responsible for Mumbai Indians’ defeat against CSK. In IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians had to face defeat by 20 runs against Chennai Super Kings. The major reason for this defeat was the 20th over bowled by Hardik Pandya, in which MS Dhoni hit 3 sixes. After the match, Irfan Pathan criticized Hardik in the Star Sports press room and said, ‘MWhatever match I lost, he (Hardik Pandya) had a big role in it. Even yesterday Akash Madhwal did not bowl the last over. You need to give huge responsibility to Akash Madhwal, this is his job. If he doesn’t bowl then how will he gain confidence? 4. Irfan Pathan raised questions on Hardik Pandya’s captaincy Mumbai Indians reached the playoffs last season despite the absence of Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah. But this season, despite having both, the team is on the verge of being eliminated. Irfan Pathan had raised questions on Hardik’s captaincy after MI’s defeat against Lucknow and said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah was not in Mumbai Indians, the qualifying team last year, but he is playing this season. Still they are in this situation. Completely because the…
All the matches of India for Champions Trophy will be played in this stadium of Pakistan. PCB’s big statement
Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Pakistan in the time of February or March. India vs Pakistan. (Image Source: ACC/X) It is not known whether Team India will go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not. But it is certain that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will host this tournament. Three venues have been finalized for next year’s tournament. Pakistan Cricket Board said that tournament matches will be organized in Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi. Along with this, PCB has also sent the schedule of Champions Trophy matches to ICC. Recently, a security team of the ICC Board has come to Pakistan and also took stock of the arrangements. On this, PCB Chairman Mohis Naqvi said, “We are confident that the tournament will be conducted smoothly. India has not yet finalized its participation in the event, which is expected to be held in February-March next year. Since India had refused to play in the Pakistan-hosted Asia Cup last year, some matches were held in Pakistan and some in Sri Lanka in a ‘hybrid model’. But this time Pakistan is insisting on organizing all the matches in the Champions Trophy.” All India’s matches in the Champions Trophy will be played in Lahore! Although it is still uncertain whether India will travel to Pakistan or not, given the tensions between the two countries and the precedent of India not traveling to Pakistan for the Asia Cup last year, the PCB has, after much consideration, decided against hosting India’s games. Lahore Stadium has been chosen for this. The thinking behind this is that Lahore is on the India and Pakistan border. In such a situation, fans will be allowed to cross the Wagah Border and come to Pakistan to watch their team’s match without any difficulty. Also, the organizers wanted to ensure that the Indian team did not have to travel much to Pakistan to play matches. They will stay in only one city and avoid travel hassles. That’s why he chose Lahore Stadium.

RCB Playoff Scenario: How many matches will Royal Challengers Bangalore have to win to go to IPL playoffs?
RCB is placed 9th in the points table with just 2 points from 5 matches played. RCB Team (Photo Source: IPL Official Website) RCB Playoffs: All the teams are giving tough competition to each other to reach the IPL 2024 playoffs (IPL 2024 Qualification Scenarios). On one hand, the players are performing brilliantly to help their team win, on the other hand, now the RCB fans are sitting with pen, paper and calculator. It is noteworthy that RCB has played 5 matches so far in which they lost only 4 matches. Royal Challengers Bangalore is struggling with the form of its players this season too. Only Virat Kohli is working for the team from one side but he is not getting support from any player. The team’s batting and bowlers are divided. RCB had faced Rajasthan Royals in their previous match. In this match, Bengaluru batted first and scored a big score on the basis of Kohli’s century. Apart from Kohli, no batsman played. RCB suffered a crushing defeat from Rajasthan Royals in the last match. At the same time, due to the defeat that Rajasthan Royals has given to RCB bowlers while chasing the target, Kohli will think that his century has been wasted. This is being said because Rajasthan’s Jos Buttler was not in form this season, so it was easy for RCB to dismiss him. But luck changed as Butler came in form and scored another century and led his team to victory. After the defeat in this match, RCB is at 9th position in the points table with only 2 points. Now the question to think is that if RCB wants to qualify for the playoffs, do they have that time left? So let us tell you that, yes Bengaluru can still make it to the playoffs. RCB Playoff Scenario: How many matches will RCB have to win and how many points will have to be taken to go to IPL 2024 Playoff? Know here- RCB has lost 4 out of 5 matches played so far and the path to the playoffs is becoming difficult. At the same time, RCB now has only 9 matches left. Currently the team is at 9th position in the team points table with 2 points. To enter the IPL playoffs, any team will have to win at least 8 matches. That means if you win so many matches then you will get a total of 16 points. RCB has already won one match and has to win 7 more matches. It is not enough for Bengaluru to just win, the net run rate will also have to be good so that it can easily enter the playoffs. If they win all the remaining 9 matches then the team can directly enter the play-offs without any problem. At present all the teams are performing well. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see what strategy RCB makes.
IPL 2024: There will be a ban on IPL matches and ticket sales in this stadium, bad news for BCCI!
BCCI-PCA have also been demanded to immediately ban the organization of IPL matches and sale of match tickets at Mulanpur Stadium. Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Bad news is coming out regarding Mullanpur stadium located in Chandigarh. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and other concerned parties will be banned from organizing cricket matches at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Mohali. In fact, a public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court to stop the match. Advocate Sunaina has filed this petition in the High Court. Where was the mistake in building Mullanpur Stadium? Now the question is what is the problem regarding cricket matches? Let us tell you that this stadium, built in the year 2021, is spread over 41 acres and 33,000 people can sit in this stadium and watch the match. But a law student named Nikhil Thamman, in his PIL, has hit out at the state of Punjab and other respondents, saying the construction of the stadium was “unauthorized”. Nikhil has highlighted some things in the issue raised, let’s see- He says that the notification issued by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest in 2006 regarding environmental protection has been violated. Frankly speaking, Nikhil says that the stadium has not been built following the correct protocol. Not only this, he also claimed that the officials did not even obtain the mandatory forest and wildlife clearance under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 from the National Wildlife Board. According to their PIL, the project falls within 10 km of the bird sanctuary in Sector 21, Chandigarh. Requested not to play IPL match The petitioner also sought directions to ban BCCI-PCA from organizing Indian Premier League (IPL) matches. Apart from this, he also demanded an immediate ban on the sale of match tickets for the IPL by the BCCI. Let us tell you that Punjab Kings played their first match in IPL 2024 on March 23 against Delhi Capitals at Mullanpur Stadium. According to the petitioner, the notification dated September 14, 2006 stated that projects with more than 1.5 lakh square meters of built-up area would have to obtain environmental clearance from the Central Government. He also referred to the instructions issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests on March 15, 2011. The letter said that if the project site is in an eco-sensitive area zone or within 10 km thereof, the user agency will have to take prior approval from the Standing Committee of the National Wildlife Board. Now we will have to wait to see what further decision the court takes on this.
