Rohit one more season, Hardik vice-captain: Yuvraj on Mumbai Indians captaincy

Yuvraj Singh has said that he would have given Rohit Sharma one more season as the captain of the Mumbai Indians. Yuvraj said he would have brought in Hardik Pandya as the vice-captain of the side.

Mumbai Indians captaincy

In Short

  • Hardik replaced Rohit as MI skipper before the start of IPL 2024
  • Yuvraj feels it was a big decision made by MI to replace Rohit
  • Rohit will be leading India during the T20 World Cup 2024

Legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has said that he would have given Rohit Sharma one more year as captain of the Mumbai Indians and allowed Hardik Pandya to be his deputy during IPL 2024.

MI made the bold call to make Hardik the captain after being traded in from Gujarat Titans, which initially received a lot of backlash from the fans.

The decision has split the cricketing world with fans and critics voicing their opinions over the past few months. Yuvraj, while talking on Star Sports, felt that removing Rohit as skipper is a big decision and he would have let Hardik work as the vice-captain to see how the franchise functions.

“Rohit Sharma is a 5-time IPL winner as a captain. Removing him is a big decision. I would have gotten someone in, like they brought Hardik (Pandya), but I still would have given Rohit one more season and let Hardik be the vice captain and see how the whole franchise works,” said Yuvraj Singh.

Yuvraj went on to say he understood why MI decided to go down this path as they wanted to look towards the future of the franchise.

“I understand from the franchise’s point of view, they have to see the future of the franchise. But then again, Rohit is captaining India and still playing well, so it’s a big decision,” said Yuvraj.

Yuvraj went on to say that while Hardik does have great talent, managing a franchise like MI would be different from his time with Gujarat Titans. The former all-rounder feels that the expectations will be high when it comes to the five-time IPL Champions.

“In terms of talent, yes, he has great talent. Being captain of Gujarat will be different from being captain of Mumbai. Expectations are a lot. Mumbai Indians have been a big side,” said Yuvraj.

Despite not being the skipper for MI this year, Rohit will be leading the Indian team during the T20 World Cup 2024 in the Caribbean and the US.

Is Virat Kohli Missing the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL 2024)?

The inaugural match of the IPL 2024 will take place on March 22 at M Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai, between the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

The explosive batter cleared the air over Virat Kohli’s prolonged absence from the Indian team on February 19, when he announced the birth of his second child.
Having been selected for the Indian team for the first two Test matches, Kohli withdrew, leaving himself out of the remaining three.

Click Here Virat Kohli (Indian Cricketer) Biography

The BCCI also respected Kohli’s decision and asked the media to give Kohli privacy. 

However, India’s legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar made a massive comment during a Star Sports promotional event. His comment came as a major heartbreak for the Kohli fans.

Gavaskar questioned on Monday whether the top hitter would participate in the 2024 Indian Premier League.
Shaayad ho sakta hai ke IPL ke liye bhi na khele (Will he play…), kuchh cause ke liye khel nahin rahe hain. For some reason, he’s not playing. When asked whether Kohli would be hungry for runs in the IPL as he would be making his comeback to action following a lengthy sabbatical, Gavaskar responded rather cheekily, “Perhaps he may not play in the IPL as well.”

On March 22 at M Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai, the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the opening match of the IPL 2024.
Notably, RCB will be trying to win the championship this year, and as usual, Kohli’s play will be essential to the team’s success.

ISPL T10 Day 6 Review: Bangalore Strikers bag maiden victory, Srinagar Ke Veer move to third spot after second win!

Bangalore Strikers registered their first win in the first-ever Super Over of the competition.

Mumbai, March 11: On Monday at the Dadoji Kondadev stadium, the Bangalore Strikers defeated the Tigers of Kolkata in the first Super Over of the season, marking their first-ever victory in the Indian Street Premier League T10 tennis ball cricket tournament.

In the Super Over, Bangalore Strikes batted first and scored 21 runs, with Mansoor KL contributing 8 and Thomas Dias scoring 13 in 3 balls. Munna Shaikh responded with two sixes, giving it his all, but he was unable to get his team over the finish line as they were limited to 13/2.

With the win, Bangalore Strikers were also guaranteed a mathematical chance to advance to the next round, while Tigers of Kolkata held onto second place with four points.

One of the main goals of the innovative Tennis Cricket League, Indian Street Premier League – T10, is to find, develop, and improve cricket players starting at the grassroots level. It aims to bring together the best local cricket talent in India, giving participants a wide platform to display their abilities.

Earlier, Bangalore Strikers chose to bowl first, and opener Fardeen Kazi was dismissed by Akash Gautam in the first legitimate ball of the innings. After that, the captain of the Kolkata Tigers, Prathamesh Pawar, launched a counterattack, scoring 25 runs off of 20 balls. Gautam then returned to take two wickets and end with figures of 3 for 5.

Following that, the Kolkata Tigers lost wickets at regular intervals. Ashiq Shamsu took three wickets for 21 runs, which kept the batting side to 86 for 9 in the allotted ten overs.

However, the Kolkata Tigers had been playing strong defense throughout the campaign, which made things challenging for their rival. The penultimate over had just 18 runs remaining since, other from Thomas Dias (27 of 22 balls), none of the other Bangalore Strikes batsmen could break loose.

Mansoor KL, a left-hander, did a great job scoring 16 runs off of the first four balls, but they were caught trying to go for another huge shot. Ankur Singh, the captain of the Bangalore Strikers, then maintained composure to swipe a single and send the game to extra time.

Later in the day, Srinagar ke Veer needed something special in the 50-50 over bowled by Vishwajit Thakur, as they looked vulnerable at 43 for 3 at the conclusion of the sixth over. The match was decided beyond a shadow of a doubt when Bhushan Gole (14 of 7 runs) and Ahmed Askari (9 of 7 balls) combined for 24 runs in an over and a 12-run bonus.

Rajesh Sorte, who was named Man of the Match, took three wickets for thirteen runs as Srinagar ke Veer earlier dismissed the Hyderabad team for 81 runs.

Musheer Khan breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s Ranji Trophy record in front of Master Blaster with century in final for Mumbai!

With Sachin Tendulkar in attendance, Musheer Khan broke the Master Blaster’s record and became the youngest Mumbai batter to score century in Ranji Trophy final

Musheer Khan on Tuesday became the youngest Mumbai batter to hit a century in the final of a Ranji Trophy as the 41-time champions strengthened their grip against Vidarbha in their pursuit of securing a record-extending 42nd title. Musheer, the younger brother of India Test cricketer Sarfaraz Khan, at the age of 19 years and 14 days, in the process, surpassed the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who previously held the record for 29 long years.

Musheer, who resumed on his overnight score of 51, completed his 2nd First-class century, to go with his maiden double hundred in the quarter-final against Baroda. When play resumed on Day 3, Musheer resumed the batting with captain Ajinkya Rahane as the two continued to pile runs. Already ahead with a lead of 119 runs at stumps on Day 2, from 141/2, Mumbai had progressed to 164 when they lost their captain for 73, but in the company of Shreyas Iyer, Musheer flourished.

With a clip off his pads, Musheer completed his century. He took off his helmet and went a step ahead of Tendulkar with the Master Blaster himself in attendance. Tendulkar, a two-time Ranji Trophy winner, was in attendance at the Wankhede, to see his team add another father in its cap. It was in the final of the 1994/95 season that Tendulkar, a month short of turning 22, had peeled off twin centuries against Punjab and became the youngest Mumbaikar to the landmark. His record stood tall for nearly three decades before Musheer bettered it.

Musheer and Iyer’s stand was worth 168 off 256 balls before the partnership was broken. Five short of 95, Iyer wanted to clear the boundary off Aditya Thakare but didn’t get the timing right and holed out at long-off.

Musheer’s red-hot form

Musheer’s dream run also saw him score a half-century in Mumbai’s semifinal against Tamil Nadu, scoring 55. Musheer has been in good form of late. He was the second highest scorer during last month’s Under-19 World Cup, with 360 runs at an average of 60, with two centuries and a fifty.

In fact, it’s been an eventful few months for the entire Khan family as big brother Sarfaraz made his debut for India in the third Test against England at Rajkot and went on to score three fifties in five innings.

Yashasvi Jaiswal beats Kane Williamson to get ICC Player of February 2024 award!

Yashasvi Jaiswal beat New Zealand veteran Kane Williamson and Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka to win the award

India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was on Tuesday named the ICC Player of the Month for February 2024. The left-handed batter was rewarded for his record-breaking performance in the five-match Test series against England at home, where he scored 712 runs – the second Indian batter after Sunil Gavaskar to score more than 700 runs in a bilateral.

Yashasvi Jaiswal beat New Zealand veteran Kane Williamson and Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka to win the award. Jaiswal is the leading run-getter in the ongoing cycle of the ICC World Test Championship and aiding his charge were two scintillating double hundreds that came in the month of February in back-to-back Test matches.

“I’m really happy to achieve ICC award and I hope I will be getting more in future,” Jaiswal said after he was informed about the win. “It’s one of the best and this is my first five-match series series. “I really enjoyed it, the way I have played and the way it’s been and we won the series by 4-1. It’s been an incredible experience with all my mates And I really enjoyed it.”

Jaiswal also rated his Rajkot knock of 214* has his crowning achievement. “I think when I celebrated my double century in Rajkot, I think that was something which I really enjoyed and felt it. And I was, I was living,” he added.

Jaiswal enjoyed sparkling form throughout February to inspire India’s revival from 1-0 down to series victory during the month, notching 560 runs at an average of 112 in his three Test appearances.

The 22-year-old began the month with a fine double-century in the second Test at Visakhapatnam, standing tall where his teammates stuttered to hit a superb 209 in the first innings as the home side levelled the series with a 106-run victory.

The opener then went one better in the second innings of the third Test in Rajkot – unleashing a barrage of explosive hitting in his unbeaten 214 to equal the record for the most sixes in a Test innings (12) and help seal a convincing win.

Another half-century score came in the fourth Test at Ranchi, capping a milestone month for the opener which heralded a profound leap up the ICC Men’s Test Batting Rankings, where he now stands in the top ten after starting the series in 69th position.

Jaiswal’s win sees him become the first Men’s Player of the Month winner from India since Shubman Gill in September 2023.

Annabel Sutherland gets Women’s Player of the Month

Annabel Sutherland was named the ICC Women’s Player of the Month after her stunning efforts with bat and ball set new records in Australia’s Test victory over South Africa in Perth.

“It’s a massive honour to be named the Player of the Month and a nice way to cap off a successful home summer for the team.

“South Africa are always a strong opponent and to be able to perform against them in a home Test is something I’m proud of.

“Test cricket is always a highlight and to have been able to contribute toward winning that match was really special.”

Here are the major rules and format of the ISPL T10

Format

First of all the format- It is a 10-over-a-side Tennis ball cricket. However, there is provision for two overs of Tape Ball as well. We will discuss that later on. 

Tip-Toe Toss

As the name suggests, the toss does not involve a coin, but rather the children’s game of tip-toe in which the two captains will tip-toe from a certain distance and whoever stamps on the tip of the toes of the other will win the toss and decides whether to bat or bowl.

Three overs of powerplay

In the 10-over game, there are not two but three overs of powerplay, In the first two overs, the number of players outside the 30-yard circle would be two. The third over of powerplay can be taken by the batting team at any moment they feel like, between overs three and nine. During the third over of the powerplay, three players can be allowed outside the 30-yard circle. 

9 Street Runs

While in a normal cricket match, no matter how far the batter hits it outside the boundary the total number of runs remains six, but in an ISPL T10, if a better can hit the ball in the stands, it would account for nine runs instead of just six. 

50-50 Over

Fifty is most probably the most unique feature of T10 where you are betting on your skills to give you one and a half times more than you score or lose half of what you have scored. So a batting team can take the 50-50 anytime they wish, however, the bowling team cannot ask for the Tape-ball over to be bowled during 50-50. 

So in the 50-50 over the batting team will set a challenge of X number of runs and choose the bowler they want to bat against. Once that is done, if they score more than X, they will get X plus fifty per cent of X. So if the team had propped to get 16 runs and they got 18, they would get 18 plus fifty per cent of 16 which is eight. The total of that over would become 26 runs.  

But if the team fails to get 16, and scores only 12 runs, then they would lose six runs from the 12 and the over would become a six-run over instead. 

Tape-Ball Over

Popular in Pakistan street cricket, a Tape ball is nothing but a hard tennis ball taped entirely to make it swing a bit more than the usual tennis ball does. However, in ISPL T10, the tape-ball would not be hard tennis but usual tennis, with which the entire tournament is being played. 

Playing XI and Substitutions 

In the unique playing 11 rule, the team is given two substitutions in case of an injury. Also in the playing 11, a player each from the five zones of Indian cricket- North, South, East West and Central would have to be picked in the playing 11 alongside an Under-19 player from the pool of 16 players bought by each team in the auction.
