IPL 2024

One of the most thrilling IPL tournaments to date is expected to be the 17th edition. The favorites, MS Dhoni and CSK will still be in the running, but Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians, and Gujarat Titans will still be contenders.

With Hardik Pandya as the new captain of the Mumbai Indians, it will be interesting to watch how Rohit Sharma acclimates to his new position without the extra responsibilities. Virat Kohli, who took a long hiatus to be with his wife for the birth of his second kid, will be back in action in Bengaluru. Ahmedabad now has a new leader as Gujarat Titans’ manager, Shubman Gill, has taken on the role.

In the meantime, Rishabh Pant, the nation’s favorite son, returns to the capital city following an incredible comeback from a potentially fatal injury. Will this be MS Dhoni’s final season? That is still the major issue.

IPL 2024 Points Table

In the Indian Premier League 2024, a win earns two points for each team. Two groups of five players each are formed from the teams. In the league stages, each team plays one match against the other five teams and two against the opponents in their group.

After the league phase, the top four clubs in the IPL 2024 points standings will advance to the playoffs. The top-seeded team in the IPL 2024 standings and the second-placed club will square off in Qualifier 1, with the winner advancing straight to the championship match.

The two teams that place first and second in the points chart are rewarded by the IPL. The third and fourth-placed teams in the points table will square off in the Eliminator, which will determine who advances to the final. The loser of Qualifier 1 will have an additional chance to advance to the championship match.

Over the years, the T20 league has been more competitive due to the additional incentive given to clubs that finish in the top two slots in the IPL Standings.

Chennai and Gujarat faced each other in the final of 2023 after finishing 1-2 on the points table. Chennai defeated Gujarat in Ahmedabad to win the title.

This is the revised IPL 2024 points table with the most recent alterations to the 10 teams’ standings.

IPL 2024: Glenn Maxwell became a wet cat in front of Mayank Yadav, and surrendered like this on a ball with a speed of 151!

Mayank Yadav, the fast bowler who is quickly becoming the new star of the Indian cricket team, lit up the Indian Premier League with his speed. In front of Mayank, even batters like Glenn Maxwell were observed changing like wet cats.

Bengaluru: In the Indian Premier League 2024, Mayank Yadav has established himself as the second name in speed. In his second game for the Lucknow Supergiants, Mayank again caused havoc against Royal Challengers Bangalore, after making waves with his furious bowling against Punjab Kings. The batsmen’s legs were shaking from Mayank’s rapid speed. In just four overs, Mayank claimed three wickets for his team’s 14 runs. In this, Glenn Maxwell also claimed one wicket. Mayank was bowling so quickly that he finished Maxwell’s innings in two balls.

Maxwell played for RCB in the sixth over of the match. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis had already been removed from the game. In addition to the pressure the team was under, Mayank Yadav was causing mayhem with his difficult ball. Mayank bowled a ball against Maxwell at a pace of 151 km/h in a scenario where he was unable to comprehend anything.

Maxwell managed to avoid getting hurt in front of Mayank, but he was unable to prevent his bat from making contact with the ball. The ball bounced in the air in this scenario, and Nicholas Puran made an easy reception of Maxwell after 30 yards. Glenn Maxwell, who thinks of himself as a fearless batsman in T20 cricket leagues throughout the world, gave up in front of Mayank in one swift motion and looked like a wet cat in the process. The game was won by Lucknow by 28 runs.

The RCB team lost at home for the second time in a row. In this game, Lucknow beat RCB by a margin of 28 runs. With Quinton de Kock scoring a strong fifty during the first 20 overs of the match, Lucknow, batting first, amassed 181 runs at the loss of 5 wickets; in reply, RCB was restricted to 153 runs.

The opening match of the IPL 2024 season will spotlight MS Dhoni new role and Virat Kohli return!

IPL 2024 First Match details

  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) vs. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at 20:00 IST

Can RCB break the Chennai jinx?

Faf du Plessis’ amazing showing just one month ago qualified the Johannesburg Super Kings for the SA20 playoffs. And in four months, he will be back in the yellow uniform for the Texas Super Kings, partnering with head coach Stephen Fleming. Their history dates back to 2011 when du Plessis was signed by Chennai Super Kings before he had even represented South Africa in international cricket.

However, du Plessis has currently given up his yellow second skin in favor of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and blue for the rest of this IPL. He was once a fan favorite at Chepauk and on Friday, he will make his debut as the captain of the RCB in Chennai. He will not, however, be facing the opponent that du Plessis had anticipated.

Just hours before the teams reported for training on the eve of the IPL 2024 season opener, Ruturaj Gaikwad, the previous opening partner of Plessis, was named CSK’s captain, taking MS Dhoni’s place.

Given that the odds are stacked against RCB in Chennai, Gaikwad has a proud record to protect. They had previously defeated CSK at Chepauk during Fleming’s playing days in the inaugural IPL season (2008). RCB has since suffered seven straight losses. In the match that took place there in 2019, they were dismissed for 70 runs in 17.1 overs. That RCB forced CSK to work till the 18th over of their winning chase was because of Moeen Ali and Yuzvendra Chahal.

While Moeen may bat with three other spinners on Friday against the Royals (Mahesh Theekshana, Ravindra Jadeja, and part-timer Rachin Ravindra) on what may be another slow pitch, Chahal is currently with the Rajasthan Royals. On the other hand, Mayank Dagar (left-arm finger spin), Himanshu Sharma (mystery spin), Karn Sharma (leg-spin), and Swapnil Singh (left-arm finger spin) are the only choices available to the RCB team in terms of elite spinners. This season, it appears that RCB has thrown all of its eggs into one basket—both at home and abroad.

IPL 2024 First Match
Earlier this year, Virat Kohli made his T20I return with a forceful cameo against Afghanistan.

Team news: Dhoni and Kohli return

Following knee surgery after the previous IPL season, 42-year-old Dhoni is expected to make his comeback after almost a year out. After missing the Ranji Trophy knockouts due to injury, CSK’s designated spin batter Shivam Dube is also well. But they will be missing their death-overs specialist, Matheesha Pathirana, the slinger from Sri Lanka, who is injured to his hamstring and will miss the first few matches of the 2024 Indian Premier League.

After a two-month hiatus, Virat Kohli will also play competitive cricket again for the RCB. Since the last IPL, he has only participated in two T20 matches (against Afghanistan in January). This season will serve as his preparation for the 2024 T20 World Cup, which will take place in June. Will Kohli bat like he did against Afghanistan in the first two innings? He showed an unusually aggressive approach.

Toss and Impact Player strategy

Chennai Super Kings

Considering Dube is working his way back from injury, CSK might play him as a batter alone and pick one of Mukesh Choudhary or Tushar Deshpande, last season’s highest wicket-taker, while bowling.

  • Possible bat-first XI: 1 Ruturaj Gaikwad (capt), 2 Rachin Ravindra, 3 Ajinkya Rahane, 4 Moeen Ali, 5 Daryl Mitchell, 6 Shivam Dube, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 MS Dhoni (wk), 9 Shardul Thakur, 10 Deepak Chahar, 11 Maheesh Theekshana
  • Possible bowl-first XI: 1 Ruturaj Gaikwad (capt), 2 Rachin Ravindra, 3 Ajinkya Rahane, 4 Moeen Ali, 5 Daryl Mitchell, 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 MS Dhoni (wk), 8 Shardul Thakur, 9 Deepak Chahar, 10 Maheesh Theekshana, 11 Mukesh Choudhary/Tushar Deshpande

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

One of Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror, or Suyash Prabhudessai might be picked to lengthen RCB’s batting if they bat first, to be replaced by a spinner – Himanshu or Karn – in the second innings. Or vice versa.

  • Possible bat-first XI: 1 Faf du Plessis (capt), 2 Virat Kohli, 3 Rajat Patidar, 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 Cameron Green, 6 Anuj Rawat/Mahipal Lomror/Suyash Prabhudessai, 7 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 8 Alzarri Joseph, 9 Mayank Dagar, 10 Akash Deep/Vyshak Vijaykumar, 11 Mohammed Siraj
  • Possible bowl-first XI: 1 Faf du Plessis (capt), 2 Virat Kohli, 3 Rajat Patidar, 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 Cameron Green, 6 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 7 Alzarri Joseph, 8 Mayank Dagar, 9 Akash Deep/Vyshak Vijaykumar, 10 Himanshu Sharma/Karn Sharma, 11 Mohammed Siraj

Stats that matter

  • Jadeja aces his match-up against Glenn Maxwell. The left-arm finger spinner has dismissed Maxwell six times in 51 balls while giving away 70 runs in the IPL. No other bowler has dismissed Maxwell more times in the league.
  • Gaikwad has a favorable record against both Alzarri Joseph (47 off 25 balls, one dismissal) and Lockie Ferguson (56 off 29 balls, no dismissals) in the IPL.
  • Kohli (985) is 73 runs away from surpassing Shikhar Dhawan (1057) as the top run-getter against CSK in the IPL. Kohli’s record against spin in Chennai in the powerplay, though, isn’t impressive: 15 runs off 23 balls with two dismissals.
  • RCB’s spinners Dagar and Himanshu have a combined one wicket in four matches in the IPL.

Pitch and conditions

The IPL 2024 opener will be played on the center wicket at Chepauk, which traditionally is a spin-friendly one. It is different from the sharp turner that was used for the Ranji Trophy fixture between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka last month.

IPL 2024 Venues

Twelve Indian stadiums will host the league stage matches. The Arun Jaitley Stadium will host the Delhi Capitals’ first two home games at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium because it will not be available for use immediately following the 2024 Women’s Premier League. Mullanpur Cricket Stadium and IS Bindra Stadium will host Punjab Kings home games. Chennai’s M.A. Chidambaram Stadium will host the first game.

Imad Wasim was observed smoking in the locker room following Islamabad United’s five-wicket victory in the PSL 2024 finals!

Imad Wasim, a former all-rounder for Pakistan, was found smoking in the dressing room on Monday after he astonishingly claimed five wickets for Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine final against Multan Sultans at Karachi’s National Bank Cricket Arena. The impressive bowling performance and Martin Guptill’s half-century were key components of Islamabad’s two-wicket win and third PSL title.

Wasim ran riot through the Multan Sultan batting line-up after Islamabad were put to bowl first in the summit clash. He handed the team the first breakthrough, in the second over, dismissing opener Yasir Khan before combining with captain Shadab Khan to send Multan four down for 85 runs in the 12th over.On returning to attack, Wasim dismissed Khusdil and Chris Jordan in successive deliveries, but was denied a hat-trick. He eventually finished with 5 for 23, becoming the first-ever bowler to pick up a fifer in a PSL final as Multan were restricted to 159 for nine.

After the impressive show with the ball, Wasim went to the dressing room and was seen smoking, a visual of which went viral on social media.

This isn’t the first instance that a cricketer was spotted smoking in the dressing room. Back in 2022, during an international match, Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Shahzad was caught smoking and was later reprimanded by match officials. More recently, during the 2023 ODI World Cup tournament, Australia’s Glenn Maxwell was seen smoking an e-cigarette in the dressing room.

In reply, Guptill’s 32-ball 50 kept Islamabad alive in the chase despite wickets falling at regular intervals. The veteran New Zealand batter later found himself in a 47-run stand with wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan which revived the side. However, it was Naseem Shah’s cameo of 9-ball 17, laced with a maximum and two boundaries, and Hunain Shah’s title-winning boundary in the last ball that seal the victory for Islamabad.

On This Day: Anil Kumble rips through Pakistan in New Delhi to pick up 10 wickets in an innings

OTD: 28 years ago on this very day, Anil Kumble became only the second bowler in the world to pick up 10 wickets in an innings in the history of Test cricket.

In Short

  • Anil Kumble finished with figures of 26.3-9-74-10 in the New Delhi Test
  • Kumble also accounted for 4 scalps in the first innings of the Test
  • Kumble is one of the 3 bowlers to pick up 10 wickets in a Test innings.

February 7, 1996, was a historic day in the history of Indian cricket. 28 years ago, on this very day, Anil Kumble became the first from his country to pick up 10 wickets in a Test innings. Kumble accomplished the feat in the second Test of the 2-match series against Pakistan at New Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla, now known as the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Kumble became the second bowler to reach the landmark after England’s Jim Laker, who picked up a 10-wicket haul against Australia at the Old Trafford in Manchester way back in July 1956.

Going into the New Delhi Test, India were under immense pressure after losing the first Test in Chennai by 12 runs. However, Mohammad Azharuddin and Co. finished the series 1-1 after Kumble pulled off an absolute spectacle with the ball in hand.

Starting with, Kumble helped India take a substantial lead of 80 runs in their first innings. The leg-spinner dismissed Ijaz Ahmed, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Yousuf and Saqlain Mushtaq to finish with impressive figures of 24.3-4-75-4.

Thereafter, Sadagopan Ramesh, Sourav Ganguly and Javagal Srinath scored 96, 62 and 49 respectively to make sure that India set Pakistan a stiff target of 420 to chase down.

Anil Kumble unleashes hell at Kotla

Pakistan made an impressive start to their run-chase after Saeed Anwar and Shahid Afridi put on 101 runs for the opening wicket off 24.2 overs. Just when it seemed that Pakistan were gradually getting themselves in a position of command, Kumble got the prized wicket of Afridi, who made 41 runs off 64 balls with 7 fours.

After Kumble made the initial breakthrough, Pakistan lost their way completely and were reduced to 128 for 6 in a space of 11.5 overs. Anwar made 69 runs off 128 balls before Kumble got rid of him.

Saleem Malik and skipper Wasim Akram tried to restore sanity with a partnership of 58 runs, but their efforts were never going to be enough for Pakistan to go past the finish line.

Kumble finished with figures of 26.3-9-74-10 as Pakistan were bowled out for 207 in 60.3 overs.

Apart from Laker and Kumble, New Zealand’s Ajaz Patel also holds the distinction of picking up 10 wickets in an innings. Patel achieved the feat in the Black Caps’ Test against India back in December 2021 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

11 injuries in 36 months: A timeline of Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul’s fragile bodies!

Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul’s repeated string of injuries is pulling India down.

Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul's

Ravindra Jadeja is 35, KL Rahul 31; their total number of injuries since 2021 accounting to 11. Yes, that’s how fragile their bodies have been over the last three years. Jadeja and Rahul are, at present, missing more matches for India than actually playing, and it’s hurting India to a certain extent. Their unfortunate streak of injuries is not only unsettling the team combination but also robbing youngsters of a longer run in the Playing XI. In the last three years, Jadeja has been injured five times, while Rahul’s count goes up to eight, which makes for a big worrying sign.

Is it age catching up? Is playing non-stop cricket acting as a deterrent? Possibly. But there is no running away from the fact that their bodies are wearing down. As Jadeja and Rahul are set to miss the second Test against England starting Friday – and potentially more – we take a look at the long list of injuries the two India stars have endured since 2021.

Ravindra Jadeja

Thumb injury (January to March ’21): During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Down Under, Ravindra Jadeja dislocated his thumb while batting in the Sydney Test. Jadeja copped a blow on his left thumb when a shooting delivery from Mitchell Starc took off and struck him. The scans later suggested a fracture, which kept Jadeja out of the home series against England.

Forearm injury (November ’21 to February ’22): Jadeja was dropped from the second Test against New Zealand due to a swollen forearm, discovered via scans. Jadeja was understood to be out of action for a long period and ended up missing the tour of South Africa before returning for the home Tests against Sri Lanka.

Rib injury (May to June ’22): After a rough time as Chennai Super Kings captain, Jadeja was ruled out for the remainder of the IPL 2022 due to a bruised rib. He picked up the injury while fielding against Royal Challengers Bangalore. He returned for the rescheduled fifth Test between India and England from the year before but his setback woes didn’t end there.

 Knee injury (August ’22 to February ’23): Catastrophe hit Indian cricket as Jadeja damaged his knee during the Asia Cup and had to stay out for action for the next six months after needing surgery. He missed the T20 World Cup, tour of Bangladesh, home series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, before making his much-awaited comeback in the Test series against Australia having undergone the grind for Saurashtra in Ranji Trophy.

Hamstring (January ’24): Jadeja was ruled out of the 2nd Test against England after pulling his hamstring on Day 4 of the series opener against England in Hyderabad. He returned to the NCA, and shared a picture of it with the caption ‘Home for the next few days’, which significantly hurts his chances playing the remaining four matches.

KL Rahul

Wrist strain (January ’21): Ahead of the third Test in Sydney, Rahul strained his wrist and was ruled out of the 2020/21 BGT. He had not played the first two Tests either, and had to return to the NCA having played no part in India’s famous series win.

Appendicitis (May ’21): In the middle of the IPL, KL Rahul had to undergo surgery for appendicitis. Ahead of Punjab Kings’ IPL 2021 clash against Delhi Capitals, the franchise released a statement saying he was suffering from acute appendicitis. Rahul had scored 331 runs from 7 innings before his time in the tournament was cut short

Thigh strain (November ’21): Rahul was ruled out of the two-Test series against New Zealand at home due to a thigh strain.

Groin/sports hernia (June ’22): The day before leading India against South Africa in a home T20I series, Rahul was pulled out due to what appears to be a groin injury. It flared to become a sports hernia which needed Rahul to undergo surgery. He returned after a long injury layoff in August, a month before the Asia Cup.

Thigh injury (May ’23): KL Rahul was ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2023 after injuring his thigh while chasing the ball. The nature of the injury was so severe that it cost Rahul three months of action, meaning he had to miss the World Test Championship final, the tour of West Indies and Ireland.

Quadriceps injury (January ’24): After recovering well and showing some exemplary form in the World Cup and Asia Cup and the tour of South Africa, Rahul is back on the shelf after he complained of pain in his right quadriceps, ruling him out of the Vizag Test against England.
