Ishan Kishan: Concerned about BCCI’s Strictness?
Ishan Kishan might return to action before IPL 2024, possibly featuring in the upcoming Deodhar Patil Tournament. Read on for more details about his potential comeback and the factors surrounding it.
Ishan Kishan, the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman, could make a comeback to competitive cricket before IPL 2024, with speculation suggesting his participation in the Deodhar Patil Tournament. However, there’s no information yet regarding his involvement in the Ranji Trophy. Currently on hiatus since November 2023, Kishan has refrained from domestic cricket as well, raising doubts about his return to the national team. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has sternly instructed sidelined players to participate in the next round of Ranji Trophy matches starting February 16th.
Engaged in IPL preparations, Ishan Kishan has been seen practicing with IPL team captains Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya. Amidst concerns over some players’ reluctance to play domestic cricket, BCCI has emphasized the importance of their participation in the Ranji Trophy matches. Reports suggest that Ishan Kishan, who took a break from cricket due to personal reasons, might make an appearance in the Deodhar Patil Tournament.
Recently, India’s head coach Rahul Dravid hinted at the necessity for Kishan to play some cricket to earn his place back in the team. Dravid emphasized that the decision of when to return lies with the player and they won’t force him into anything.
In another segment, we explore why Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) could be the sure winner of IPL 2024, analyzing five compelling reasons that could finally lead to Virat Kohli’s team clinching the trophy.
IPL 2024 News Latest Update 14 February 2024 | IPL Dekh
Reasons why RCB can win the IPL 2024 trophy
The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) could kick off as early as March 22, with all teams gearing up for the competition. However, besides Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the chances of other teams winning the championship are quite slim.
Learning about the reasons why Bangalore can emerge as champions, you would agree that Kohli’s team should clinch the trophy without wasting much time. So, let’s delve into each reason one by one to understand why Virat Kohli’s RCB could lift the trophy for the first time.
Strong batting lineup
Most of the IPL seasons so far have seen RCB’s losses primarily attributed to their batting. Indeed, RCB’s top order has always been strong, with players like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle. However, their middle order often fails to deliver, nullifying the efforts of the top-order batsmen.
This was evident even in IPL 2023. However, this season, RCB’s middle order has been reinforced with several star players like Rajat Patidar, Will Jakes, and Cameron Green, who are currently in good form. This strengthens Bangalore’s chances of becoming champions.
King Kohli’s form
Virat Kohli had an outstanding year in 2023, where he scored the most runs (765) in major tournaments like the World Cup 2023, including three centuries. Maintaining his form, King Kohli can lead RCB to victory in the final. Kohli’s highest run tally of 973 runs in an IPL season was in 2016 when RCB reached the final but fell short. Learning from past mistakes, RCB can clinch the title this time.
Abundance of all-rounders
RCB has often struggled in the IPL due to the absence of a perfect playing XI. However, in IPL 2024, they won’t face this problem as they have two world-class all-rounders in their playing XI: Cameron Green and Glenn Maxwell. Both players contribute not only with the bat but also with the ball, and they are currently in top form. Green scored 452 runs and took six wickets for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023, while Maxwell recently scored a century in a T20 international against India.
Entry of lethal fast bowlers
Before IPL 2024, RCB has added two of the most lethal fast bowlers to their arsenal: Lockie Ferguson and Alzarri Joseph. These two players have the potential to change the course of any match at any moment. Both were instrumental in Gujarat Titans’ journey to the final of IPL 2023. Their entry strengthens RCB’s bowling attack significantly.
Presence of T20 stalwarts
RCB boasts several players with extensive experience in T20 cricket, whose presence could be crucial in clinching their first trophy. At present, RCB has numerous players who specialize in T20 cricket, and their experience could be the key to the team’s success.
RCB’s IPL record
In IPL history, RCB has only made it to the final three times. They first reached the final in the 2009 season but lost to the Deccan Chargers. Then, in IPL 2011, RCB made it to the final again but lost to Chennai. In IPL 2016, they reached the final but were defeated by Hyderabad. With a revamped team, RCB aims to change their history in IPL 2024.
Team composition for IPL 2024
The team for IPL 2024 includes Faf du Plessis (captain), Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyash Prabhudessai, Will Jakes, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Vijaykumar Vishwak, Akash Deep, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, and Saurabh Chauhan.
IPL 2024: SRH to be led by Pat Cummins, claims former Indian captain
Sunil Gavaskar has endorsed Pat Cummins to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the upcoming IPL season. During last year’s auction, SRH acquired Cummins for a significant amount of 20.50 crore rupees. Another notable addition to the team was Travis Head, who was bought for 6.80 crore rupees.
Gavaskar praised SRH for their strategic move to acquire Cummins and expects his presence to have a significant impact on the team’s performance in the upcoming IPL season. He views Cummins as a game-changer and believes his captaincy will make a big difference. Cummins and Head, along with experienced leadership and explosive batting skills, are ready to tackle the challenges of IPL 2024.
