“MS Dhoni Blames IPL Parties For T20 World Cup Exit”: RCB’s Old Post Resurfaces, Internet Puzzled

File photo of MS Dhoni© BCCI/IPL The internet can be a funny place. Often it throws up posts and comments which surprises all. Old posts which was long lost from public memory, suddenly resurfaces without any context. One such post again came light on Saturday. The post was made on May 12, 2010 from the official handle of IPL team Royal Challengers Bengaluru. “Dhoni blames IPL parties for T20 World Cup exit… What do you think??? Via Allen,” the post read. The post again came to light as a X handle ‘TukTuk Academy’ reposted it along with the scorecard of a match where Irfan Pathan scored 26 off 30 balls while other Indian batters failed. It is not known which match’s scorecard the handle shared. But 13-year-old post is a genuine one done from RCB’s official handle. While India won the 2007 T20 World Cup under the leadership of Dhoni, it was knocked out of the Super Eight Stage in the 2010 edition. “Most of the players were fit and fresh. Players also need to be smart, not only about cricket but about other things going around in the IPL. We have to respect your body and give some time for it to recover because there is more to it than playing matches. Attending parties and travelling takes a toll,” Dhoni had said in 2010 on India’s T20 World Cup exit. Dhoni blames IPL parties for T20 World Cup exit… What do you think??? Via Allen — Royal Challengers Bengaluru (@RCBTweets) May 12, 2010 MS Dhoni’s fan following has got no bounds. The former India captain called time on his international cricket career in 2020 and since that he has been available only for the Indian Premier League, playing for Chennai Super Kings. It means that the Dhoni fans have to wait for around ten months to see their favourite player in action. Despite the lack of appearance among fans in the past three-four years, Dhoni’s craze has only increased with the passage of time. The study of the official TV broadcaster for IPL 2024 too backs this opinion with some unique data. Shame on Irfan Pathan for scoring 26 runs in 30 balls pic.twitter.com/oU6kUUOliS — TukTuk Academy (@TukTuk_Academy) April 13, 2024 Star Sports has come up with the technology of calculating the crowd’s noise levels at different junctures during the course of the tournament and Dhoni holds the top two spots. As per the data, the top noise from the crowd is 130 Decibel which was attainted during Dhoni’s entry into the MA Chidambaram Stadium before the toss for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings match, which happened to be the opening game of the ongoing tournament. At the joint-second spot in the list is the moment when Dhoni smashed a four against Delhi Capitals in the 17th over. The crowd’s noise peaked in the game at that moment with a record of 128 Decibel. Coming in at the 8th position in the match, this was the first time Dhoni batted in IPL 2024.

We are backing him to be India’s highest run scorer in this match. Ravindra Jadeja came back into the team and took seven wickets in the last Test. The all-rounder is our pick for India’s top wicket taker against England.Ben Duckett made a brilliant 153 runs from 151 balls in the first innings and the left-hander is our tip for England’s highest run scorer in the Third Test. Only Jasprit Bumrah has taken more wickets in the series than Tom Hartley and we have the left-arm spinner as England’s top wicket taker in this game.Although he may not make another double century, we recommend selecting Yashasvi Jaiswal to hit at least 31.5 runs in the first innings in Ranchi.

IND vs ENG 4th Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips India lead the five-match Test series against England 2-1 after their crushing 434 win in Rajkot last week. England won the opener in Hyderabad before India levelled the series in Vizag. Read on as we preview this fourth Test in Ranchi. This match gets underway at the JSCA International Stadium Complex at 09:30 local time on Friday 23rd February.  India looked to be in a worrying position at the end of Day 2 in Ranchi but then were able to take control, dominate and finally thrash England in the third Test. Although they will be weaker without Jasprit Bumrah, we still expect them to get another victory. Although England let a very strong position turn into one of their heaviest defeats in the last Test, this game begins with both teams on zero on Friday. England will play aggressively throughout the match but we expect the pitch to turn a lot which will make things incredibly tough for the tourists. IND vs ENG Match Toss PredictionWith a pitch that is expected to deteriorate quickly, both teams will want to take advantage of batting when the pitch is at its best. We predict that both captains will want to bat first. IND vs ENG Pitch ReportThere are already some large cracks in the surface in Rajkot and we expect the bounce to be uneven and to turn from early on. A par score in the first innings will be between 300-350. Ranchi Weather ReportThe forecast is for hot and sunny conditions across all five scheduled days in the tournament. The temperature will be over 30 degrees in each game with the peak coming on day four and five.

Jasprit Bumrah took the Player of the Match Award in the second Test and the pace bowler is well worth backing as India’s top wicket taker in this game.Zak Crawley struck over 70 in both innings in Vizag and the right-handed opener is a strong choice for England’s highest run scorer in this Test. James Anderson took five wickets in Vizag and the 41 year old still looks as accurate as ever. He is our tip for England’s top wicket taker in this game.Jasprit Bumrah was the standout bowler for India in Vizag and we recommend choosing him to take over 1.5 wickets in the first innings of this Test. India vs England 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. IND vs ENG 3rd Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips With the Test series well poised at 1-1 with three further games to go, India and England lock horns once again in the third Test in Rajkot. India took the opening game of the series by 28 runs before India triumphed by 106 runs in the last fixture. Read on as we preview this Test. The game begins at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium at 09:30 local time on Thursday 15th February. India produced quality with the bat when it mattered in the second Test of the series and, although they will still not be at full strength for this game, we expect their experience in home conditions to be crucial. India will once again be expecting to get a win in this Test. England left themselves with too much of a mountain to climb in the second half of the Test in Vizag after facing a first innings deficit of 143 runs. They will certainly be competitive again in this game and will take the attack to India but they must produce more runs in the first innings. IND vs ENG Match Toss PredictionThe best time to bat in Rajkot is always over the first two and a half days so we predict that both teams will want to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this Test. IND vs ENG Pitch ReportThere is a bit of a green covering over the pitch but we do not expect it to last much beyond the first session. The pitch will then dry out and a par score in the first innings will be at least 450. Rajkot Weather ReportAccording to the forecast, the temperature will increase across the five days of the match and be over 30 degrees on each day. No rain is forecast on all five days.

IND vs ENG 1st Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips An eagerly anticipated five-match Test series between India and England begins in Hyderabad on Thursday morning. India won their last Test, by 7 wickets against South Africa earlier this month whereas England last played Test cricket in the Ashes back in July. Read on as we preview this First Test. The match gets underway at 09:30 local time at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. India come into this Test in second place in the World Test Championship and with a very strong recent record against England at home in this format. On a pitch which is expected to turn, India will be expecting to come out on top of this game. England have not played an overseas Test for nearly 12 months but have an excellent record under their captain Stokes and coach McCullum partnership. However, they lost their last away Test and India will be a very tough opponent in Hyderabad. IND vs ENG Match Toss PredictionAlthough there could be turn from the first day, we expect the pitch to deteriorate and turn more as the game progresses. Therefore our prediction is that both captains will want to bat first. IND vs ENG Pitch ReportIt will be a good batting wicket for the first couple of days in Hyderabad before we can expect to see lots of turn over the final few days.

The skipper is a strong choice for Afghanistan’s highest run scorer in this match. Mujeeb Ur Rahman took 2/21 and bowled a maiden in the opening T20I.

On a cold Thursday evening in Mohali, India went 1-0 up with a 6 wicket victory and another home win in this game will see the series decided ahead of the final fixture. Read on as we preview this match. This second T20I gets underway at 19:00 local time at the Holkar Cricket Stadium. India never really looked in trouble in the opening game of the series and they will travel to Indore expecting to take an unassailable 2-0 lead. The return of Virat Kohli to their line-up will only make their batting stronger for this second match. Although they were comfortably beaten on Thursday, Afghanistan can certainly take some positives from some of the batting partnerships and the spin bowling of Mujeeb. However, they will need the entire team to step up a level or two to really compete on Sunday. IND vs AFG Match Toss PredictionOf the three previous T20Is at this venue, two have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, we expect that both sides will want to bat first in this game.

South Africa were let down by their experienced batters in Sunday’s ODI with the bulk of their runs coming from Tony de Zorzi and Andile Phehlukwayo.
