IPL 2024: Must-win game for Chennai Super Kings against Punjab Kings | Cricket News

Pacers Pathirana, Deshpande back as Ruturaj’s boys eye revenge against PBKSChennai Super Kings have been far from comfortable playing away from home this season. The reigning champions have won just one of their four matches on the road so far and were outplayed by the opposition in each of the three losses. With time not on their side and the team playing catch-up in the intense playoff race, Ruturaj Gaikwad-led CSK will have to improve their away record, starting with the clash against Punjab Kings in Dharamshala on Sunday.IPL ORANGE CAP | IPL PURPLE CAP | IPL POINTS TABLESuper Kings (10 points from 10 matches) find themselves in must-win territory as they are two points behind Sunrisers Hyderabad (12 points from 10 matches), who occupy the fourth and final knockout spot.A slip-up against Punjab – four days after going down to the same opposition in Chennai – could mean that top-four qualification may no longer be in their hands.Moving into the most crucial phase of the league stage, Ruturaj’s form is a huge positive for CSK. The right-handed opener is on a dream run with five 50-plus scores in his last six outings. While Ruturaj is in glorious touch, he can still improve in certain areas – maintaining consistency away from home, making full use of the Powerplay at a time when his opening partner Ajinkya Rahane is struggling for runs. The fact that the pitches at the HPCA Stadium provide good assistance to the batters should please Ruturaj and Co. After being dominated by spinners Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar, the middle-order batters, especially Shivam Dube, will be eager to exact revenge.CSK are set to be bolstered by the availability of pacers Matheesha Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande, but will be without the services of Deepak Chahar. While Pathirana and Deshpande missed the last game with a niggle and flu respectively, Deepak limped off the field with a groin injury. “Deepak has pulled up with a problem in his leg and is not with us. The Sri Lankan boys (Pathirana and Maheesh Theekshana) had to go to get their visas sorted. They did not train on Saturday. Once we see how the conditions are and the balance of the team, we will know (if they play). Tushar seems fine right now,” said CSK bowling consultant Eric Simons.Punjab, who are on a two-match winning streak, will look to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. The change of home venue from Mullanpur to Dharamshala could come as a welcome boost as the free-stroking PBKS batters may be better-suited to the HPCA Stadium pitch.

IPL 2024: The price tag didn’t bother me too much, says Knight Riders’ Starc

IPL 2024: The price tag didn’t bother me too much, says Knight Riders’ Starc

Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Mitchell Starc. | Photo Credit: ANI After a slow start to the season, Mitchell Starc hit top gear in the climactic phase of the IPL, returning match-winning performances in both the Qualifier 1 and final to help Kolkata Knight Riders clinch its third title. The 34-year-old, who has not played many T20s in the last few years, spoke about taking time to find his rhythm and delivering on the big stage. β€œI haven’t played a lot of T20 cricket in the last few years. So, it was about trying to find that rhythm of the format, and staying ahead of batters,” said Starc. Elaborating on his work with bowling coach B. Arun, someone he knew from their time at Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the left-arm pacer said: β€œIt wasn’t technical. It was probably a bit more tactical; there were suggestions for trying different things. Certainly, for batters I hadn’t seen or knew much about, I was going to him [Arun] or Shreyas [Iyer] or GG [Gautam Gambhir] with that sort of thing.” β€œI’m on the more experienced side. So, it’s not a technical thing. Arun might suggest things here or there Glad to have made an impact when it mattered the most,” he added. In a year when batters have taken the game to a new level, with record-high totals, Starc spoke about how the key to success was to stay level-headed. β€œI think T20 is a great leveller. You can have some good days, and two days later, you can have a shocking day,” said the Australian pace spearhead. Returning to the IPL after nine years, Starc became the costliest buy in the league’s history at β‚Ή24.75 crore, but the speedster said the price tag didn’t bother him. β€œYou don’t need extra motivation. I am here as an overseas [player], and it’s [for] nights like tonight or the last game that I have been picked. I mean, there’s been jokes throughout, and there’s been friendly banter about price tags and what not. It doesn’t bother me too much. I think the pressure of being an overseas player or price tag, you expect that coming to the best domestic league in the world. It’s our job to perform or set an example to younger players.” β€œI am closer to the end of my career than the start. One format may drop off, there’s a long time before the next ODI World Cup, and whether that format continues for me or not, it may open doors for more franchise cricket.”

Hardik Pandya's vice-captaincy appointment for T20 WC challenged by Irfan Pathan: 'Bumrah wouldn't have been bad choice' | Crickit

Hardik Pandya’s vice-captaincy appointment for T20 WC challenged by Irfan Pathan: ‘Bumrah wouldn’t have been bad choice’ | Crickit

Hardik Pandya’s tale of woe is well documented in the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League. From breaking the hearts of Gujarat Titans fans to upsetting Rohit Sharma faithful by taking over the captaincy reigns, Pandya has been facing the wrath of jeering fans in the IPL 2024. Becoming a staunch critic of Hardik, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan recently took aim at selectors for prioritising the selection of the MI skipper. Pathan has questioned the appointment of India’s new vice-captain for T20 World Cup (AFP-PTI) Launching a fresh attack on Hardik following his return to the Indian side for the T20 World Cup, Pathan questioned the appointment of the new vice-captain. Even though Hardik has struggled to revive MI’s campaign in the IPL 2024, the star all-rounder was picked as Rohit’s deputy for the T20 World Cup. Hardik was also the vice-captain of the Indian team at the 2023 World Cup. However, an ankle injury cut short his campaign in the ICC event last year. HT launches Crick-it, a one stop destination to catch Cricket, anytime, anywhere. Explore now! β€˜Hardik held the captaincy but Rohit…’ β€œPreviously, Hardik Pandya held the captaincy, but Rohit Sharma took over for T20 matches. Post T20 World Cup, there was a new plan; they aimed for a younger team with Pandya and Surya as potential captains. Yet, questions arise regarding Pandya’s performance consistency and commitment to Indian cricket. Regular participation in domestic cricket is essential for serving Indian cricket throughout the year. Injuries are inevitable, but proper planning involving consistent match play, including domestic cricket, is vital for a player’s return. But then there’s this one player who returns from injury without fulfilling the same requirements,” Pathan told Star Sports. Hardik escaped β€˜Kishan-Iyer’ treatment In the lead-up to the IPL 2024, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan didn’t receive contract extensions for ignoring BCCI’s directive to play in the Ranji Trophy. Pathan had then claimed that Hardik was not judged using the same parameters. All-rounder Hardik was drafted in the Grade A category when the BCCI revealed its annual central contracts list. After recovering from an ankle injury in the build-up to IPL 2024, Hardik made his return to competitive cricket in the DY Patil tournament. ‘Whether you’re Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli…’ β€œThat shouldn’t happen because it sends the wrong message to the rest of the team. When they see one player receiving special treatment, it disrupts the team environment. Cricket isn’t like tennis; it’s a team sport where equality is vital. Every player should be treated fairly and equally. Regardless of whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned player like Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli, cricket is a team sport first and foremost. I’ve witnessed things in the past, particularly during the T20 World Cup last year, that went against the principles of Indian cricketβ€”instances where certain players were given undue advantage, which is unacceptable,” the former India all-rounder added. Hardik’s flop show in IPL 2024 With Hardik succeeding Rohit at MI for IPL 2024, the five-time winners made an awful start to the new season by losing their first three games. Hardik’s MI side is placed ninth in the IPL with six points in 10 matches. Despite flopping with the bat and ball in the IPL 2024, Hardik was added to the Indian side for the T20 World Cup. Instead of appointing Hardik as vice-captain, Irfan argued that the national selectors should have picked pace ace Jasprit Bumrah as Rohit’s deputy for the ICC event. ‘Bumrah wouldn’t have been a bad choice either’ “To succeed in tournaments like the World Cup, it’s imperative that every player is treated fairly and equally. So, now, coming back to your question about Hardik Pandya being vice-captain, I understand the rationale behind it due to the importance of continuity in leadership. However, considering the current performance, the selectors opting for continuity may be understandable. Yet, I believe someone like Bumrah wouldn’t have been a bad choice either,” Pathan concluded.

New Zealand vs Pakistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs PAK Match Prediction & Analysis With the ICC Champions Trophy in the past, and the Indian Premier League about to begin, the start of this New Zealand versus Pakistan series will capture the imagination of top-level cricket-hungry fans across the globe. Beginning on Sunday afternoon at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, this game will be well attended with supporters of both sides likely to be making themselves heard! Both teams will not be at their strongest with players either making themselves unavailable for the series, resting,  or in the case of some New Zealanders, raring to go in the IPL. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Although the likes of Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Devon Conway, Will Young and Matt Henry, all of who were involved in New Zealand’s run to the final of the Champions Trophy, will not be in the team for the Black Caps on Sunday, they can still put out a side of recognisable names and full of talent. Leading the charge with the bat will be Finn Allen who recovered from an awful run of scores early in the Big Bash League to show his quality and the experienced keeper-batter Tim Seifert is an accomplished player in this format. The middle order of Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell are all very strong internationals with the latter captaining the team and also a very strong spinner. Ish Sodhi, Ben Sears and Jacob Duffy make up a quality bowling attack with James Neesham capable of delivering in both innings! Pakistan Preview Any Pakistan side without Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam is one which will not look as strong on paper. And that is certainly the case for this Pakistan team in this opening T20I. Without the big names, there is an opportunity for the likes of Usman Khan to show off his attacking batting skills as well as his talents behind the stumps with the gloves. Salman Agha will captain the side and has a strong record across all formats of late. He will be assisted by vice-captain Shadab Khan who can be inconsistent but is also a match-winner on his day. Pakistan’s strongest suit in this game will undoubtedly be in their bowling attack. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf both have experience and all the skills and will fancy their chances against this New Zealand top order. Weather Conditions The forecast is for an excellent day in Christchurch throughout Sunday afternoon and into the early evening. Expect the temperature to peak at 27 degrees. NZ vs PAK Pitch Report The pitch in Christchurch can sometimes be a little green at the start of multi-day games but we expect to see a dry and bare surface for this game. A par score is likely to be approaching 200. Toss: To Bowl With six of the last eight T20I games in Christchurch won by the team chasing, we expect both captains to be fairly sure of their decision which we predict will be to bowl first if they win the toss.

‘Best example of nepotism’: Pakistan’s Azam Khan brutally roasted after another flop show | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Pakistan’s keeper-batter Azam Khan was in the line of fire on Thursday after his side succumbed to a crushing seven-wicket defeat in the fourth and final T20I against England at the Oval. Azam, who scored a five-ball duck and then dropped a couple of sitters behind the stumps drew flak on social media as his torrid run with both bat and gloves continued.The 25-year-old has had a string of low scores recently and has been poor behind the stumps as well and after his dull outing in Pakistan’s final T20I game before the T20 World Cup, questions over his selection and spot in the side were raised on social media. With the defeat, Pakistan lost the T20 series 2-0 as the first and third games in Leeds and Cardiff were washed out. England, on the other hand, now will head into the defense of its T20 World Cup title on the back of a series win over Pakistan. In the final game, after restricting Pakistan to 157 all out, England powered to its target with 27 balls remaining largely thanks to Phil Salt’s 45 and captain Jos Buttler’s 39 in their opening stand of 82 off 38 balls. The T20 World Cup staged jointly in the United States and the Caribbean starts Saturday, with England’s opening match against Scotland in Barbados on Tuesday and Pakistan playing for the first time on June 6 against the US.
