Dinesh Karthik made a hilarious remark ahead of the clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Dinesh Karthik said that the match-up between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir will add an extra layer of excitement.

Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli share a history of on-field rivalries in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Their last altercation occurred during the 2023 season, when the Lucknow Super Giants, led by Gambhir, faced off against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Virat Kohli vs Gautam Gambhir – Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik humorously highlighted the anticipated clash between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli in RCB’s pre-match preview. He also expressed intrigue in the matchups of Mitchell Starc against Glenn Maxwell and Varun Chakravarthy against himself.

“Virat Kohli vs Gautam Gambhir (smiles). Mitchell Starc to Glenn Maxwell will be very interesting. Varun Chakravarthy to me (Dinesh Karthik) will be very interesting,” Dinesh Karthik said in RCB’s match preview.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face the Kolkata Knight Riders at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, March 29. Despite visiting teams failing to secure a victory in IPL 2024 matches thus far, KKR might present a significant challenge to Bengaluru.

In the upcoming match, there will be a thrilling battle between the star players of both teams. KKR will rely on key players like Sunil Narine and Andre Russell, while RCB will count on the talents of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell to lead their charge.

In their 32 encounters, the Kolkata-based franchise holds a slight lead over Bengaluru with an 18-14 record. Notably, Kolkata has performed better than Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, winning 7 out of 11 matches played there between the two teams.

Have No Right To Be In That Dressing Room – Gautam Gambhir

During the ‘ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash,’ Gautam Gambhir emphasized his commitment to defending any player on his team. He reiterated that his duty as a leader was to support his players, irrespective of external factors such as media influence.

“It is not about Naveen-ul-Haq. I would have defended any player, that is my job, that is how I am. Why should I not defend my players just because someone has a broadcaster working for him, left right, and center, someone who has more social media presence doesn’t have any right to walk over someone. If I cannot stand with my players, then I have no right to be in that dressing room,” said Gambhir.

After a fiery altercation between Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq, Gautam Gambhir sided with his LSG teammate, intensifying the conflict. Both Kohli and Gambhir faced fines for violating the IPL’s Code of Conduct, admitting guilt without a formal hearing.

After his tenure with LSG, he has returned to his former team, the Kolkata Knight Riders, as a mentor for the 2024 season. It’s worth mentioning that the former Indian opener guided the KKR team to titles in 2012 and 2014 as captain in the IPL.

England Women’s team pacer Kate Cross, in a recent interview, revealed that it was Virat Kohli’s idea to honor the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women’s team during the RCB unbox event. The Women’s team led by Smriti Mandhana had defeated Meg Lanning’s Delhi Capitals Women’s in the final of the Women’s Premier League season earlier this month. With that, the franchise’s wait for the coveted Premier League trophy ended after a long wait of 17 years.

After the win, Mandhana and co. were on cloud 9 with RCB fans asking the Men’s team to learn and take inspiration from the Women’s team which won the WPL in only their second attempt. The first edition was one to forget for the South Indian franchise as they had failed to qualify for the playoffs by finishing 4th in the points table. They deserve plenty of plaudits for that terrific turnaround and former Men’s team captain Virat Kohli wanted to give them a fitting appreciation.

As revealed by English pacer Kate Cross while speaking to BBC network, it was Virat Kohli who asked the team management to invite the Women’s team during the Unbox event. Kohli wanted to honor the splendid efforts of the players during the special event where RCB also released their new kit for the 2024 IPL season.

Virat Kohli texted RCB’s team owner to invite the Women’s team

Kate Cross revealed that Virat Kohli had personally texted RCB’s team owner to invite the Women’s team and celebrate their victory. “The Owner got the text from Virat Kohli saying, we should honor the girls on Sunday.” – Cross said via BBC Cricket.

This says so much about the kind of importance and respect Virat Kohli has in the RCB franchise. It’s not just the team management or the players, the franchise owners, too, value him and that’s why they invited the Women’s team over as well.

Even though Virat Kohli hasn’t won the IPL despite reaching the finals on 3 occasions, once as a captain, RCB feel their biggest win is having the batting stalwart in their ranks. The 35-year-old’s rise in World Cricket could not have been possible without the help and backing from the South-Indian franchise that appointed him as captain even before he captained the Indian team.

Kohli led RCB to their first IPL final since 2011 in 2016 when the batter’s performance surpassed every other’s. The Delhi-born batter had a 973-run season at a staggering average of 81.08, which also included 4 centuries and 7 half-centuries. RCB were untouchable that season but they once again choked in the final and saw the Sunrisers Hyderabad beat them for their maiden IPL title.

Nonetheless, no one can take away the things that Virat Kohli has done for the RCB, and with a new season, hopes have been renewed that he can at last guide the team to their maiden IPL trophy.

The exciting contest between RCB and KKR is set to unfold tonight

Meanwhile, after losing and winning their first 2 games against Chennai and Punjab, RCB is gearing up to welcome Kolkata Knight Riders later tonight at the M. Chinnaswamy. It is going to be a feisty competition between the teams which has a long history between them. KKR have an upper hand in the head-to-head numbers, winning 18 of the 32 matches while RCB have won the tie on 14 occasions. Point to be noted – Kolkata did the double against RCB last year.

Former New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson is gearing up to represent the USA in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Corey Anderson and several other cricketers relocated to the United States of America after the announcement of Major League Cricket (MLC).

USA Cricket is preparing for the T20 World Cup with a five-match T20I series against Canada and a three-match T20I series against Bangladesh. USA Cricket has announced the squad for the upcoming series against Canada, scheduled to commence in Houston on April 7.

Corey Anderson To Represent USA Team In T20 World Cup 2024

Corey Anderson has secured a spot in the 15-man USA squad for the series against Canada. This marks the left-handed batter’s return to international cricket after a hiatus of more than 5 years, with his last appearance for the New Zealand team dating back to 2018.

Since relocating to America in 2020, Anderson has excelled in domestic T20 tournaments. He has accumulated over 900 runs in 28 innings with an impressive strike rate of 146 in the Minor League (MiLC). His standout performance includes a remarkable innings of 94 runs against MI New York in the Major League Cricket (MLC).

Unmukt Chand Fails To Make USA Team For Upcoming Series

Former India U-19 captain Unmukt Chand, who relocated to the USA with hopes of reviving his international career, has been omitted from the squad. He was not selected for the team, despite his impressive performances in the last three seasons in the Minor League.

Former India U19 player Harmeet Singh has earned his place in the USA squad due to his exceptional performances. Former RCB batter Milind Kumar has also been included for his consistent form in the MiLC and notable contributions to the Texas Super Kings.

Former Canada captain Nitish Kumar is set to make a comeback to international cricket against his former team, following his move across the border in 2021. His inclusion in the squad comes as a surprise, especially after facing competition from players like Chand.

Monank Patel continues to serve as captain of the USA squad, with Aaron Jones as his deputy in the upcoming series.

The T20 World Cup squad hasn’t been unveiled, but recent selections offer insight into the selectors’ preferences. Although Chand was omitted, he remained optimistic about a potential return to the squad.

Keen To Test Me Out Against The Best Team – Unmukt Chand

Earlier, Unmukt Chand expressed his desire to face India in the T20 World Cup, with the match scheduled for June 12 in New York.

“[It is] something which would be very strange (laughs), but I think since I’ve retired from India, my next goal was always to sort of play against India, and not in any bad blood but keen to test myself out against the best team in the world,” Chand told Cricbuzz.

Rajasthan Royals top-order batsman Riyan Parag was perhaps at his very best last night during his team’s 12-run victory against Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

In front of home support, Parag brought out his best and maybe this is the start of his comeback in the Indian Premier League after a terrible 2023 season. His blistering knock of 84* not just helped RR win but it also made him the only player after Virat Kohli to win 4 individual awards in a match.

Riyan Parag received a total of 4 individual awards last night for his wonderful knock and that made him the first since Virat Kohli to grab those awards including the Man of the Match.

Before we get into the awards that Parag won last night, we must acknowledge the way he handled Rajasthan’s unsteady ship after the top-order collapsed for less than 40 runs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal (5), Jos Buttler (11), and Sanju Samson (15), all departed cheaply and if it wasn’t for the dependable innings from Riyan Parag then RR could not have posted 186.

Parag saw Ravichandran Ashwin (29 off 19) and Dhruv Jurel (20 off 12) come and leave after their short but effective contributions while Shimron Hetmeyer stood with the right-hander until the last.

Which awards did Riyan Parag win last night?

It was awards galore for Riyan Parag for his match-saving knock that kept Rajasthan Royal on track and helped them win their 2nd match on the trot. It started with the RuPay On-the-go 4s award as Parag amassed 7 fours in his innings then the 6s of the match for his 6 sixes – 2 in the final over of Anrich Nortje.

The 22-year-old was also adjudged as the Fantasy Player of the match for amassing a total of 121 fantasy points and lastly was the Man of the Match award. The only trophy he could not or a Non-Rajasthan Royals player won was the Punch.EV Electric striker of the match was given for batting with the highest strike rate. Delhi’s Aussie opener Mitchell Marsh received that for batting at a 192 strike rate.

Riyan Parag’s performance came at a time when the team needed him the most or when he needed to stand up and play out a knock that could be talked about for a long time. And certainly, he played like that. Parag started slowly, trying to assess the conditions, and the behavior of the pitch before accelerating his innings towards the backend.

He was slogging every single ball that came to him and the most impressive thing was his fearless temperament against a bowler like Anrich Nortje. Parag displayed the range of shots he has in his game with the best shot from the night coming in the final over when Nortje bowled a short-pitched delivery that was pulled away to the stands.

Riyan Parag reveals he was on painkillers for 3 days

While speaking to Sanjay Manjrekar in the post-match presentation, Riyan Parag revealed that he had been taking painkillers for the last 3 days and that he got up only today. “I have worked very hard, the last 3 days I was in bed, I was on painkillers, I just got up today and I’m very happy.” – Parag told Manjrekar.

Former England pacer Stuart Broad admires the legendary wicketkeeper batter MS Dhoni’s capacity to influence games, even without batting. Stuart Broad highlighted MS Dhoni’s effortless ability to outperform cricketers much younger than him on the field.

Chennai Super Kings legend MS Dhoni has not had the chance to bat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. While this signifies the Chennai-based franchise’s dominance in the tournament, fans are eager to witness his trademark batting brilliance.

Although he hasn’t batted yet, Dhoni demonstrated his agility by executing a remarkable diving catch at the age of 42. The catch occurred during the match between the Super Kings and Gujarat Titans, with Dhoni stretching 2.27 meters to complete the grab.

MS Dhoni Is Still Pretty Good – Stuart Broad

During the Star Sports Cricket Live show, Stuart Broad highlighted Dhoni‘s enduring impact on the game, emphasizing the enthusiastic reaction from both his teammates and the Chennai crowd.

“He’s still pretty good, isn’t he? He’s a legend of the game. I feel for MS, he doesn’t have to bat in a game and still manages to have a moment that moves or changes the game in less than a second. His teammates swarmed in, delighted for him and the crowd in Chennai loved it so it was a great moment in the night,” Broad said.

IPL 2024 may mark Dhoni’s farewell season, having relinquished the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad, who led CSK to victories in their first two matches. Despite Dhoni’s absence from pre and post-match interviews, his mere presence continues to draw crowds.

Chennai Super Kings At Top Spot in IPL 2024 Points Table

Ruturaj Gaikwad led the five-time champions to victory in his maiden IPL outing as the skipper of the Chennai Super Kings against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The Chennai-based team recorded a comfortable six-wicket victory at their home ground.

The CSK team secured their second consecutive win of the ongoing season by defeating Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans (GT) by a margin of 63 runs in Chennai. This victory propelled the defending champions to the top of the table in the prestigious tournament.

Rachin Ravindra has been in the form of his life. The left-handed batter seized the opportunity to play in the absence of the injured Devon Conway. His fearless approach has resulted in him scoring 83 runs in two matches at an outstanding strike rate of 237.14.

MS Dhoni will next be in action when the team led by Ruturaj Gaikwad takes on the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their upcoming match at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31.

Chennai Super Kings Squad: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), MS Dhoni, Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Shivam Dube, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajay Mandal, Mukesh Choudhary, Ajinkya Rahane, Shaik Rasheed, Mitchell Santner, Simarjeet Singh, Nishant Sindhu, Prashant Solanki, Maheesh Theekshana, Rachin Ravindra, Shardul Thakur, Daryl Mitchell, Sameer Rizvi, Mustafizur Rahman, Avanish Rao Aravelly.
