Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere. There were rumors that Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals are parting ways. Ricky Ponting has gone to Punjab (Kings), so maybe Rishabh Pant can be the new captain of Punjab, or Rishabh Pant said that he loves playing in Chennai, so maybe he can be seen playing for Chennai (Super Kings).” However, there is a report on Cricbuzz which states that all the rumours should be put to a full stop. The deal between Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals is done. Well done Delhi, this is a job well done. Keep him with you, you will not find anyone like him again.” Rishabh Pant will remain in Delhi Capitals: Aakash Chopra Chopra also confirmed that the official handle of Punjab Kings congratulated Pant for his sixth Test century, which came against Bangladesh, and also during a press conference, Pant admitted that he loved playing in Chennai, adding that it was a mere coincidence and not to read too much into it.

Then the rumour was whether he is going to Punjab as Ricky Ponting and Rishabh Pant were together for many years. However, it is heard that when he scored a century in Chennai, he said that he likes playing there and he loves Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) very much. There is talk that Rishabh Pant will play for CSK, but that is not happening, if we believe this report of Cricbuzz, then he will stay in Delhi only.

IPL 2024 Playoff scenarios: Despite better run rate, why will SRH remain below RR in the points table?
RR, RCB, SRH and KKR have qualified for the playoffs. Sunrisers Hyderabad (Pic Source-X) IPL 2024 Playoff scenarios: The last two matches of the league stage in IPL 2024 will be held on Sunday, May 19. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the day’s match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, while Rajasthan Royals (RR) face Kolkata Knight Riders in the second match of the double header at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Riders (KKR). Interestingly, while PBKS has been eliminated from the tournament, RR, SRH and KKR have all qualified for the playoffs. Along with this, it is expected that Kolkata Knight Riders can remain the table topper. Accordingly, now the discussion is on which team, Hyderabad or Rajasthan, will be in second place based on Sunday’s result. It is generally believed that the net run rate decides who tops the IPL points table. However, an interesting scenario is one in which SRH (+0.406) could finish below RR (+0.273) in the points table despite having a better net run rate, if both the teams are tied on points. IPL 2024 Playoff scenarios: Why SRH will remain below RR despite better run rate If the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings match at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium today is washed out due to rain, both sides will get one point each. Thus SRH will finish the league stage with 16 points. At the same time, if Rajasthan Royals loses to Kolkata Knight Riders in the last league match of IPL 2024 in Guwahati, then they will have only 16 points. Hyderabad’s run rate is better than Rajasthan, but if it happens then Rajasthan will be second in the points table. This is because the number of wins in the league stage is considered the first criteria to decide the ranking of teams in the IPL. Here also if both the teams are on par, then the net run rate comes into play. As per the rule, RR will finish the league stage with eight wins and SRH with seven wins and hence will finish second in the IPL 2024 points table in the given scenario.

After Cricket World Cup 2023, Babar had to leave the captaincy of Pakistan cricket team. Babar Azam (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board, Zaka Ashraf has recently given a big statement saying that he had offered former captain Babar Azam to remain the captain in red ball cricket. However, after this Babar rejected this offer, and said that I would rather be removed from the captaincy position in every format than be the captain in one format. It is noteworthy that after Pakistan cricket team could not reach the playoffs in the ICC Cricket World 2023 held in India, Babar Azam had resigned from the captaincy of all three formats of Pakistan cricket team.

IPL 2024: SRH vs MI: Probable playing XI for Match 9, RR may remain unchanged, there may be changes in DC
SRH and MI lost in their first match of IPL 2024. RR & DC (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) The 9th match of IPL 2024 will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals on 28 March. This match will be held at Rajasthan’s home ground Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. Talking about the performance of both the teams in the last match, Rajasthan had won the match against Lucknow. Whereas Delhi Capitals had to face defeat against Punjab Kings. Talking about the first match of Delhi Capitals, there they faced Punjab Kings. In that match, Delhi’s top order batsman got the start but no batsman was able to play a big innings. At the same time, their middle order also looks weak. If in the end Abhishek Porel had not scored 32 runs in 10 balls, perhaps Delhi team would not have been able to score 174 runs. In bowling too, the condition of Delhi’s fast bowlers was bad. In that match, Khalil Ahmed definitely took two wickets but during this he gave away 43 runs. Ishant Sharma got injured while bowling and if he does not play in this match, it will be a big blow for the team. In such a situation, Delhi will have to think a little to strengthen its fast bowling department. Talking about Rajasthan Royals, their team looked well equipped in all departments in the first match. Talking about batting, Yashasvi Jaiswal gave a fast start to the team. Whereas captain Sanju Samson played a captaincy inning of 82 unbeaten runs. In the end, Riyan Parag (43) and Dhruv Jurel (20) played good innings and took the team to the score of 193. Talking about bowling, except Nandre Berger, all the bowlers bowled economically and helped the team successfully defend the score. In such a situation, there is a greater possibility that Sanju Samson’s team will enter this match without any changes. IPL 2024: Probable playing XI of both the teams for RR vs DC match Rajasthan Royals: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson (captain, wicketkeeper), Ryan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma. Rajasthan Royals Impact Players: Nandre Berger, Rovman Powell, Tanush Kotian, Shubham Dubey, Kuldeep Sen Delhi Capitals: David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant (captain and wicketkeeper), Ricky Bhui, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Sumit Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Khalil Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar. Delhi Capitals Impact Players: Abhishek Porel, Vicky Ostwal, Praveen Dubey, Jack Fraser McGurk, Jhay Richardson
No matter how big a player you are, milestones will remain in your mind: Parthiv Patel
Ashwin can touch the figure of 500 Test wickets in the five-match Test series against England. Parthiv Patel. (Photo Source: Instagram) Former Indian cricket team opener Parthiv Patel has given a statement which has created quite a stir in the cricket fraternity. Parthiv says that no matter how big a player you are, records (milestones) always remain in your mind. It is noteworthy that the five-match Test series between India and England is about to start, the first match of which will be played from Thursday, January 25 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. So in this series, experienced Indian bowler Ravichandran Ashwin can touch the figure of 500 wickets in Test cricket. Ashwin currently has 490 test wickets. Parthiv Patel gave a big statement Let us tell you that while doing the match preview on Jio Cinema regarding the Test series between India and England, when expert Parthiv Patel was asked what would you think if you were Ashwin, he said that I would also think the same. Zaheer Khan asked Parthiv how Ashwin’s mood was going to be during this Test series. So he said- This is a five-match Test series, and I want to tell you that it is important for Ashwin to take 10 wickets. But it is also important for someone else in the team to take wickets, because of the kind of form Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have. If you talk about milestones, no matter how big a player you are, you will always have them in your mind. This is a huge accomplishment, and it doesn’t happen overnight. For this you work hard for 10-15 years and after that you reach here. There are very few cricketers who are able to achieve this position. Also I think Ashwin will not need more than 2 Test matches to reach there.
