File photo of Sourav GangulyΒ© X (formerly Twitter) The hunt for Indian cricket team’s next head coach is underway and many names have emerged as options for the highly coveted position. Current head coach Rahul Dravid’s tenure ends after the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 and media reports suggested that BCCI have already approached certain individuals for the job. The names that are being considered the favourties at the moment are Gautam Gambhir and Ashish Nehra with reportedly less interest from foreign coaches.Β Amid all the discussion over the position, former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly took to social media to post an intriguing message. The coach’s significance in one’s life, their guidance, and relentless training shape the future of any person, both on and off the field. So choose the coach and institution wisely… β€” Sourav Ganguly (@SGanguly99) May 30, 2024 “The coach’s significance in one’s life, their guidance, and relentless training shape the future of any person, both on and off the field. So choose the coach and institution wisely…,” he posted on X (formerly Twitter). The deadline for applications was till May 27 but reports suggested that the BCCI are in no hurry to select Dravid’s successor. The Indian cricket team players are currently focused on the T20 World Cup 2024 and the report said that it is possible that National Cricket Academy (NCA) coaches can go with the team in some future tours if no decision is taken. “The deadline is fine, but the BCCI brass wouldn’t mind taking some more time before reaching a decision. Right now, the team will be busy with World T20 for the better part of the month of June. After that seniors will be rested from tours of Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe where any of the NCA-based seniorΒ coaches can accompany the team. So what’s the hurry,” a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity. Topics mentioned in this article

KKR vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Gujarat Titans in the 39th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 21st April 2025 at 7:30 PM. The ten-team tournament has reached the middle of the league stages with Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Rohan Charan’s Bangalore acquiring the top four spots in that sequence. Gujarat Titans gained the first place after dethroning Delhi Capitals by defeating them in a high-scoring contest.

They are up against Kolkata Knight Riders who have not done so well so far this season. With 5 wins in 7 games and the best net run rate of 0.984.

    Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings Today Match Prediction & Live Odds – IPL 2024

    Get to Know Who will win Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings, IPL 2024 Match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, Dream11, Live score, Win Probability & winning percentage. πŒπ€π“π‚π‡ : Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Apr 05, 2024 π“πˆπŒπ„:19:30 IST / 14:00 GMT𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium – Hyderabad, IndiaΒ π“πŽπ”π‘ππ€πŒπ„ππ“Β : IPL 2024 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings Betting Tips Rachin Ravindra has been in prime form. He is yet to score a fifty but every time he came at the crease, he looked set to score a big one. He might be third time lucky so Rachin can be the top scorer for CSK. Matheesha Pathirana is a top choice to pick most wickets for CSK. He bowls at death and his searing yorkers are not easy to face. He picked three wickets against the Capitals.Heinrich Klaasen is in the form of his life. Game after game, he has played astonishing innings for SRH. He has already smacked a couple of fifties in IPL 2024. He is a great pick for SRH top batter. T Natarajan should be back in SRH playing XI. He is a great bowler to have in the team given the variations he brings to the table. He picked three wickets in the last game he played, against KKR.The last game played at this venue saw over 500 runs being scored. It was raining sixes and the bowlers looked helpless. Given the quality of batters in both teams, total sixes should be over 15.5 in the match. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings 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. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 SRH will take on CSK in the 18th match of the IPL 2024. The match will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium and will start at 7:30 PM IST on April 5. SRH has been on fire in IPL 2024. The points table suggest that the team has lost two out of the three games but mind you, they could have easily won all games. SRH suffered a defeat to GT in last game and that probably was their worst performance in the IPL 2024 so far.   However, they have the best batting line-up in the tournament and should bounce back strong. Travis Head looks to be in the form of his life and Abhishek Sharma is also going through a dream run. Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Abdul Samad – SRH  have everything a team need to win an IPL.   The bowlers have leaked a few runs but the team is not short on quality, with Pat Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, Mayank Markande at their disposal.  They have conceded over 200 runs in two out of the three games so they would need a bit more discipline but given that they also scored over 200 runs in those matches, we can’t get too harsh on them. SRH will be up against CSK, who will come into the game after losing to Delhi Capitals in Vizag. The defeat came as a shock as CSK were the favourites to win, however, MS Dhoni’s cameo down the order more of less made the fans forget about the loss and cherish the vintage Dhoni. Anyways, this is not a format where teams will win 100 per cent of their matches so CSK won’t be too disappointed. In a nutshell, CSK have a quality batting lineup and a potent bowling attack so they would be a tough opponent to take down for an on-song SRH. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings Match Toss PredictionThis is a bat first wicket. It is a top ground to bat and big runs can be scored here. Put runs on the board is the way to go on this belter of a surface. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings Pitch ReportThe surface will be great for batting. The last game here between SRH and MI saw over 500 runs being scored. A placid pitch once again awaits teams and a high scoring thriller is on the cards. Hyderabad Weather ReportThe temperature will be around 27 degrees in the evening. The humidity will be 28 per cent while wind speed will be 8 km per hour.

    India will embark on yet another journey on the global cricket stage, hoping to end the ICC title jinx when Rohit Sharma leads the team at the T20 World Cup in the US and West Indies, beginning June 2.Afer a heartbreaking defeat in the ODI World Cup final on home soil against Australia last year, India’s wait for another ICC trophy extended past a decade. ALSO SEE: T20 World Cup Schedule The last time India won an ICC tournament was the 2013 Champions Trophy under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, who also led India to winning titles at the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup. In a video shared by Star Sports on Thursday, Rohit, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant weighed in India’s chances, fans’ expectations and responsibilty as a player. ROHIT SHARMA“We won it in 2007, the inaugural T20 World Cup. Since then, we have made it but we haven’t won it. So I think we have a great chance here to come across and be the champion.”WATCH VIDEO VIRAT KOHLI“Expectations to hamesha rehne wali hai, India jahan pe be khelegi (expectations will always be there wherever India plays). I won’t say it’s not realistic to expect that people don’t have hope or expectations from us. Cricket is looked at differently in our country; it’s our strength as well. It will become weakness if we pay excessive attention to it. I think we should look at it as our strength and take motivation and energy from it, that we have so many fans behind us who want us to do well.” RISHABH PANT“I am always enjoying the responsibilty because when you come into the team, when you feel important in the team, that’s when responsibilty comes to you. But when you get the responsibilty and you can do well for your team in that situation, that’s the best as a player you can do for the team. So looking forward to the responsibility.”India will open their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5 in New York.

UAE vs BHR Match Prediction & Analysis United Arab Emirates are looking to build on their exceptional start to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier B. The team has picked up 10 points from the opening round of games after enjoying a comfortable success over Cambodia. This result comes at a crucial stage for the Bahrain outfit, who can now hope to dislodge Qatar from the second spot in the group. This will also put Bahrain closer to qualification for the regional finals. Meanwhile, UAE have a clear advantage over the rest of the teams in the table on points. TEAMS PREVIEW United Arab Emirates Preview Bahrain’s hopes of making it to the next round of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier have taken a huge leap in the positive direction after the victory over Cambodia. The result coupled with Qatar losing their match has put Bahrain in a position of strength when it comes to reaching the latter stages of the competition. A major reason behind the top form shown by Bahrain so for the season would be Haider Ali. The captain has played a strong innings. He has become the first player so far in the 2024-25 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier B to hit 300+ runs. He has managed 302 runs from his five innings at an average of 100. Despite failing to hit a half-century so far in any of the tours, Haider Ali is coming under pressure from Qatar’s Liyanage. Bahrain Preview United Arab Emirates continue to hit big heights in the group and the victory over Qatar has helped put a buffer between them and the chasing pack. Qatar were seen as a big competition for the top spot after having held a 100% record alongside the UAE. Now, it is only UAE who are holding the mantle as the team unbeaten so far. The big success for UAE in this regard has come about through players like Rahul Chopra, who has now moved up to 190 runs from his five innings at an average of 47.50. As he continues to wait for his first century of the season, Rahul Chopra was able to add 37 runs to his tally in the win over Qatar. UAE continue to possess one of the strongest batting lineups and this has been a major reason behind covering the bad moves so far this season. Weather Conditions The pitch has had an average first-innings score of 144. This comes down drastically to 112 in the case of the second innings. The teams batting second are expected to have significant trouble in chasing down scores. Meanwhile, the match may be played under cloudy conditions with humidity expected to be around 64%. UAE vs BHR Pitch Report There have been numerous qualifying encounters at the UDST Cricket Ground in Doha. The teams batting first have had a significant advantage compared to teams bowling first. The Bahrain team won the last name on this ground while the UAE also has a similar record. Toss: To Bat The teams which have batted first on the UDST Cricket Ground in Doha have had a 71% success rate. However, the toss has been unable to influence the match outcome hugely. The second innings score is also low on average and it indicates difficulty in chasing targets.

    MS Dhoni: ‘You can go out and express…’: Gautam Gambhir praises CSK’s strategy empowering MS Dhoni’s impact in IPL 2024 | Cricket News

    Danijones03 mins

    NEW DELHI: Former India cricketer and current Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir lauded the strategic brilliance of Chennai Super Kings in harnessing the unparalleled prowess of MS Dhoni in the Indian Premier League 2024. Gambhir emphasized that CSK’s tactical approach, particularly in assigning Dhoni the finisher’s role with just 8-10 balls, has unleashed the legendary cricketer’s potential to make an immediate impact on the game.“It is a strategy of CSK (Dhoni facing just 8-10 balls) and that has given Dhoni the freedom. Different teams have different strategies and CSK has done this for the past 2-3 years. The freedom has allowed Dhoni to have an impact. When you play 20-25 balls you have that responsibility to consolidate, but when it’s just 8-10 balls you can go out there and express yourself with freedom,” expressed Gambhir in an interaction with Sportskeeda.Highlighting Dhoni’s phenomenal performance in the ongoing IPL season, Gambhir underscored the leadership similarities between Dhoni and himself during their IPL rivalry. “I feel insecurity is the biggest reason for a player’s failure. It’s not about ability. If you don’t have the ability you won’t reach the first-class, IPL, or international level in the first place. So it is important to have a secure dressing room. A secure dressing room is a happy dressing room and it eventually becomes a winning dressing room,” Gambhir remarked, reflecting on the conducive environment for players’ success. Dhoni’s batting prowess in the IPL 2024 has been nothing short of remarkable, with the veteran cricketer showcasing his unmatched skills as a finisher. Dhoni stands on the cusp of reaching a significant milestone of 250 sixes in the IPL. With a staggering strike rate of 229.16 in ten games, Dhoni’s impact on CSK’s fortunes has been undeniable.Despite a minor setback against Punjab Kings, where Dhoni (14 off 11) was run out off the final ball of the innings – his first dismissal in the season, his significance in guiding CSK through tense situations remains undiminished.

    Was vice-captaincy point of discussion? Chief selector Ajit Agarkar spills beans on Hardik Pandya’s form ahead of T20 WC – India TV

    Danijones03 mins

    Image Source : BCCI/IPL BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar spoke at length about Hardik Pandya and his form in IPL 2024 for the Mumbai Indians Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar and Indian skipper Rohit Sharma addressed the press conference in Mumbai on Thursday, May 2 following the T20 World Cup 2024 squad announcement. The questions ranged from being about Rinku Singh’s absence to the reason for picking four spinners in the squad of 15 and about Hardik Pandya’s form, who has been chosen as vice-captain. Agarkar was asked if there was any discussion regarding the vioce-captaincy and the former India pacer denied it while elaborating on Hardik’s form. “Not really, nothing discussed as regards to vice-captaincy. Form, I mean you want all guys to be in good form. I think he [Hardik] has come after a long-ish layoff but the good part is he has gotten through all the games so far for MI. We have got a month and a little bit [more] till we play our first game. We know he is doing that and the hope is that he keeps building on that form. “As long as he is fit, we know what he brings, the balance he gives to the team. I don’t think there’s a replacement for things he can do as a cricketer at the moment, especially when it comes to the way he bowls really gives balance. I think it’ll give Rohit options to play different combinations. So it’s his fitness for us is critical and so far, fortunately, he’s gone okay in this IPL,” Agarkar added while Rohit beside him nodded. Hardik hasn’t had the best of outings in IPL 2024 leading the Mumbai Indians as he has scoredΒ 197 runs in 10 matches averagingΒ 22,Β at a strike rate of 150. With the ball too, Hardik has had a mixed-0bag taking just six wickets in the competition at an economy of 11. As Agarkar said, Hardik is invaluable to the balance of the side and both the captain and the team management will hope to see the Mumbai Indians skipper slowly building up to his best.

Australia vs South Africa 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. AUS vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis Both teams came into their opening fixtures needing to find some confidence after suffering injuries to key pace bowlers and struggling in this format of late but wins by five wickets over England and by 107 runs over Afghanistan mean Australia and South Africa are both in strong positions ahead of this Group B clash on Tuesday. Games between these sides are rarely dull, from the 1999 Cricket World Cup semi-final to the ‘sandpapergate’ incident in Test cricket during the last decade, these are two teams who like to play hard. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview It is not often that a team conceded 351 runs in an ODI but then goes on and wins the game with 15 balls remaining but that is exactly what Australia did when they played their great rivals England on Saturday. Although they would like to have conceded fewer runs, there were some fine performances with Ben Dwarshuis continuing to show that he is an international level cricketer by dismissing both Phil Salt and Jamie Smith in the powerplay. Adam Zampa produced another impressive display of spin bowling and Nathan Ellis showed the value of variations in keeping the run-rate down. South Africa Preview There could be a selection dilemma for South Africa ahead of this game after Ryan Rickelton came into the team in place of the injured Heinrich Klaasen against Afghanistan and hit 103 runs from 106 balls at the top of the order! With that century contributing to a victory by 107 runs, it could be that South Africa feel they can afford to give Klaasen a few more days rest but if not then Tony de Zorzi’s place at the top of the order could be in danger. That’s because there were also useful half-centuries from Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram in a fine batting display. Weather Conditions It does not look like being a particularly bright and sunny day in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. It will be cloudy and humid throughout with a good chance of rain in both innings. AUS vs RSA Pitch Report The pitch in Rawalpindi is a good one for batting so with the overhead conditions favouring the bowlers it could be a leveller! Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 300+. Toss: To Bowl Of the last five ODIs at this venue, only one has been won by the team batting first without the use of a super-over! And with the conditions looking good for bowlers, we expect both teams to want to chase.
