<p><strong>IPL 2024 Final Awards List: </strong>Following a gruelling two months of intense cricket and battles, the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) has finally reached its climax. Shreyas Iyer's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) trounced Pat Cummins' spearheaded Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL 2024 final to clinch their third title. Here is the full detail of the IPL 2024 Final Awards List.</p>

<p>SRH, unfortunately, couldn't ride high on the back of their batters this time as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowlers kept things tight and demanding throughout the first innings after being put to bowl first by Cummins.</p>



<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) managed a meagre 113 runs in 18.3 overs before getting wrapped by the KKR. Skipper Pat Cummins played a 24-run knock, which was the highest knock of the innings by the team in the final. While Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana laid the foundation of the solid bowling effort with two wickets each, Andre Russell chipped in during the middle overs to dismantle the batting order as he scalped 3 wickets. Meanwhile, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine got one wicket apiece.</p>



<p>With just 113 runs on the board, SRH required a cluster of wickets to put KKR in the backfoot. However, that couldn't happen, despite the wicket of Sunil Narine. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz (39 runs) and Venkatesh Iyer (52* runs) stitched a fine 100-run partnership to secure an easy win for KKR in the IPL 2024 final.</p>



<p>KKR pulled off the chase in just 10.3 overs with the loss of 2 wickets and won the contest by 8 wickets.</p>



<p>Following the win in the IPL 2024 final, KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer collected the trophy and added one more to their already decorated cabinet. KKR has previously won the IPL 2012 and 2014 title under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir.</p>

<p>To be honest, the rule of Impact Player has made the life hell for the bowlers and this reflects from the fact that the top wicket taker in the season of 74 matches has taken just 24 wickets. The Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium was the only venue where the bowler were getting some respect and all the other venues were batting paradise.</p>



<p>This year, we saw more of the team performances rather just individuals. When we look at RCB, Virat Kohli was leading from the front with Faf du Plessis. Patidar and Will Jacks were able to continue the momentum in the middle overs, and Green and Karthik played proper finisher's role. Alongside, their bowling was too good in the second half of the season where they made 1% chance to qualify to 100%. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/RCB-IPL-2024-1024x683.jpg" alt="Who Will Win IPL 2024? A Simple Breakdown" class="wp-image-134306" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



<p>CSK got Ruturaj and Ravindra at the top, Daryl Mitchell and Shivam Dube exploded in the middle overs and MS Dhoni with Jadeja gave big thrust in the latter end of the innings. Tushar Deshpandey took the responsibility after Pathirana got injured and Fiz left for national duty. </p>



<p>Mumbai Indians had a bad season where they screwed up in both the departments. Some day, they bat like the best team of the tournament and the other day, they fall like ninepins. Their bowling wasn't convinsing this season apart from Bumrah.</p>



<p>And what to say about Kolkata Knight Riders. They were the best in each department, be it batting or bowling or fielding, they were top notch and this is how you win the tournament. Sunil Narine and Phil Salt opening assault and then the two Iyers moving the game forward and Rinku, Russell and Ramandeep's finishing abilities made their batting one of the best in the tournament, if not the best.</p>

<p>They have found a gem in form of Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana and they used them in the best way possible. Mitchell Starc was out of touch in the first half of the tournament but he returned to his best as the tournament headed to the playoffs.</p>

<p><strong>IPL 2024 Final:</strong> 73 games and two months later, the moment for which all the Cricket fans across the globe were waiting for has finally arrived! It's time for the Final of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League as two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to take on each other in the most important game of the season today at Chennai's M.A Chidambaram Stadium. These two teams have played excellent Cricket since the start of IPL 2024 in March and now they will fight it out against each other to get their hands on the iconic Indian Premier League Trophy.?</p>



<p>The 38,200 seating capacity of Chennai's Chepauk Stadium is going to be completely filled and the crowd will be eager to witness which team will finish out on top in this all-important summit clash. The 24 players who will be taking the field in the final today will have just one goal in their mind and that will be to lift the iconic trophy of the world's best T20 league.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Before the final, the Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders defeated SRH in the first qualifier by eight wickets and booked their spot in the title-deciding clash. Sunrisers Hyderabad had to win against the Rajasthan Royals in the second Qualifier at any cost if they wanted to qualify for the final and they did exactly that as they won the match by a margin of 36 runs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Knight Riders have already defeated the Sunrisers twice in the current edition of the IPL but can they make it a hat trick of wins against SRH by triumphing in the final or will Hyderabad end the winning momentum of the two-time champions and secure a victory when it matters the most? No matter which team ends on the winning side, this summit clash will definitely be a nail-biting one and a great one to watch.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ahead of this all-important title-deciding encounter between KKR and SRH, let's take a look at three player battles that are going to be worth watching out for:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Final: Three Player Battles To Watch Out For</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1 . Andre Russell vs Abhishek Sharma</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Abhishek-Sharma.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Qualifier-2 SRH vs RR" class="wp-image-134503" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong> Abhishek Sharma</strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma is a batter who can turn out to be the match-winner in the KKR vs SRH encounter. The Southpaw has been scoring runs this season at a strike rate of more than 200 and if he stays at the crease beyond the powerplay, then he can definitely help his side go past the 200 runs mark.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, he will have to be wary of the threat posed by KKR's Andre Russell. Russell has dismissed the young Indian opener twice in the Indian Premier League in just nine deliveries and has conceded just 11 runs against Abhishek. Will Russell continue his dominance against Sharma or will the Southpaw try something different and edge out Russell in the head-to-head battle? The answers to these questions will be given to us in the final tonight.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Mitchell Starc vs Travis Head</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Travis-Head.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134368" /></figure>



<p>We all know what happened when Mitchell Starc and Travis Head clashed against each other in the first Qualifier. Starc needed just two deliveries to break the stumps of Travis Head and that too for a duck. Notably, the KKR speedster has dismissed his fellow Aussie teammate a total of five times in IPL and domestic Australian competitions and Head has been dismissed without scoring a single run on four of those occasions. So, the Starc vs Head battle will be an exciting one to watch out for in the final.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Varun Chakaravarthy vs Heinrich Klaasen</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/klassan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134603" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



<p>Heinrich Klaasen slammed a crucial half-century against Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier Two and he has been in amazing form this season. On his day, Klaasen can prove to be the opposition bowler's worst nightmare and there's a reason why he is regarded as Modern-day Cricket?s most destructive batter in the world. If the SRH and Protean wicketkeeper batter is allowed to stay at the crease till the end, then KKR bowlers will have to prepare themselves for a tough outing.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But, KKR spinner Varun Chakaravarthy is someone who is known to get crucial breakthroughs at regular intervals and he has already managed to pick up 20 wickets in 14 games this season. Varun also hails from Tamil Nadu and has played the majority of his Cricket at the Chepauk Stadium and he knows how suitable the pitch of Chennai is for the spinners. He's a tough bowler to attack in helpful conditions and Klaasen even gave his wicket away to the KKR leggie in the first Qualifier. Klaasen would like to play carefully against Chakaravarthy this time around in the final while Varun will be looking to get the better of the SRH hard hitter once again.?</p>

<p>The Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Shreyas Iyer stormed their way into the final of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League with a dominating victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first qualifier, winning by a commanding margin of eight wickets. This dominating win emphasized Kolkata?s amazing track record in the finals of IPL, having made their way in the title deciding matches a total of four - times, including the current IPL 2024 final. It's worth noting that the Kolkata based franchise has lifted the IPL trophy twice in 2012 and 2014 under the formidable captaincy of Gautam Gambhir, who is currently associated with KKR as a mentor.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>KKR's form in the last five matches:</strong> W, NR, NR, W, W</p>

<p>The Sunrisers Hyderabad, under the leadership of Pat Cummins managed to bounce back after their defeat against KKR in Qualifier one with a dominant victory against Rajasthan Royals in the second Qualifier by 36 runs and earned themselves a well deserved spot in the final and a chance to lift the trophy for the second time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Despite making their IPL debut in 2013, the Hyderabad based franchise has already made it to the final twice since their inception. They lifted their maiden IPL trophy in 2016 under the astute leadership of David Warner and while they qualified for the summit clash again in 2018, they had to face a defeat at the hands of the five time winners Chennai Super Kings.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But this time around, SRH will be looking to change their fortunes by defeating KKR in the final on 26th May and it remains to be seen which team ends up winning the mega encounter.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Weather Report: </strong>According to the weather reports of AccuWeather, the day time on 26th May will be hot and sunny but during the evening period, there are going to be slight chances of thunderstorms and rainfall with 97% cloud - cover. The chances of rainfall interrupting the final are 3% which is not considered a major threat by any means and fans will get the opportunity to enjoy the full game. Average temperature is anticipated to be around 33 degrees Celsius.</p>



<p><strong>Pitch and toss report: </strong>The surface of the Chepauk Stadium of Chennai is well known for favoring bowlers especially spinners. The surface provides an ample amount of turn and grip which makes it difficult for the batters to play their shots freely. In the second Qualifier match between SRH and RR, the dew factor didn't play any kind of a role which allowed bowlers to grip the ball easily and expect it to be the same in the final as well. The toss winning captain will most likely choose to bowl first.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="kkr-vs-srh-ipl-2024-final-players-to-watch-out-for"><strong>KKR vs SRH IPL 2024 Final: Players to watch out for</strong></h2>



<p><strong>1. Sunil Narine: </strong>Kolkata Knight Riders star all rounder Sunil Narine has performed exceptionally well with both bat and ball in IPL 2024 and this has helped KKR to reach the final. 26th May is also Sunil?s birthday so the birthday boy will like to make his 36th birthday memorable by helping Kolkata lift their third IPL trophy with yet another match winning display.</p>



<p><strong>2. Travis Head: </strong>SRH opener Travis Head has been in brutal form with the bat having amassed 567 runs in 14 games at a monstrous strike rate of 192.20 and an outstanding batting average of 43.62. His record in finals with the bat is unmatchable and he will be looking to make his IPL 2024 campaign memorable by helping SRH lift their second IPL trophy.</p>



<p><strong>3. Mitchell Starc: </strong>Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Mitchell Starc will have a huge role to play with the new ball and he would like to wreak havoc in the first six overs like he had done against the same opposition in Qualifier one. If the Aussie picks up early wickets for the Shreyas Iyer led team then they will automatically have the advantage in the final considering how dangerous the SRH top order is.</p>

<p><strong>IPL 2024 Most Sixes and Most Fours Rankings:</strong> IPL 2024 has been one of the best years for batters and a worst nightmare for bowlers. We have seen as many as <strong>1251 sixes </strong>and <strong>2156 fours</strong>, which are the highest in the history of IPL and we are still left with the final showdown between the two teams who have major credits to the list. Here we are with the lists of Most Sixes and Most Fours Rankings of IPL 2024.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Jump To:</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-most-sixes">IPL 2024 Most Sixes</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-most-fours">IPL 2024 Most Fours</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>After 64 days of highly escalated battles among the 10 teams in a total of 73 games, we have our two finalists: Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Though all the teams in IPL 2024 were beasts on their day, if you talk about the two most brutal batting lineups, you have to go with these two teams. KKR and SRH were the top two teams in the IPL Points table at the end of League stage and these two have made it to the finals.</p>



<p>IPL 2024 has been more for batters for most of the part but it has been a different story in the playoffs where bowlers have something for them in the game. However, the final is going to be an interesting one as the two teams with the best batting lineup are going to clash.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/iyers-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Stats, Players With Most Runs and Most Wickets Full Updated List, Orange Cap and Purple Cap After KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1" class="wp-image-134431" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer Took KKR to the Finals (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



<p>As mentioned earlier, IPL 2024 has been more joyful for the batters and the top rankers among the players have hit most fours and most sixes. Sunrisers have an edge over others as Abhishek Sharma of SRH and Travis Head from SRH are at the top of both lists.</p>



<p>Abhishek Sharma has hit as many as 42 sixes in 15 matches so far. He has 482 runs under his belt with a strike rate of 207.75. He has collected 396 runs out of 482 through boundaries which reflects his strike rate. His teammate Heinrich Klaasen is ranked second on the list with 38 sixes in 15 matches. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Abhishek-Sharma.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Qualifier-2 SRH vs RR" class="wp-image-134503" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Trent Boult vs Abhishek Sharma</figcaption></figure>



<p>We have seen a different version of Virat Kohli in this IPL season where he has played with a strike rate of over 154 consistently. He has thumped down 38 sixes in a total of 15 matches and is the highest run-scorer of the TATA IPL 2024.</p>



<p>Nicholas Pooran also has his name in the list as expected and he has 36 sixes to his name in 14 games. Scoring 499 runs with a strike rate of 178 was exceptional but he was alone from his side to stand out. This version of Rajat Patidar was unseen by Indian Cricket fans as he smacked 33 sixes in a season and made his place in the top 5 six hitters of the season. </p>



<p>One opener leads the most sixes board, while the other leads the most fours list, and both are from Hyderabad-based Franchise. Travis Head is leading the most fours list with 64 boundaries. He is currently the third-highest run-getter in the IPL and has scored 448 runs from just boundaries and sixes. Following him is Virat Kohli (RCB) with 62 fours.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Virat-Kohli.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-134185" /></figure>



<p>Ruturaj Gaikwad had an off start to the season but got his numbers towards the end of the IPL 2024. He has posted 58 fours and is the third-highest boundary hitter in the season.</p>

IPL 2024 Most Sixes and Most Fours Rankings: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma Leading the Charts (Top 10 Rankings)

<p><strong><strong>(25 May)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2024/">IPL 2024</a>&nbsp;Orange Cap, Purple Cap:</strong>&nbsp;</strong>So finally, after 73 matches played in the span of 64 days, we have our two finalists of TATA IPL 2024. Demon slayer Rajasthan Royals found themselves on the wrong corner in the Qualifier 2 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. This post reads the IPL 2024 Stats, Players With the Most Runs and Most Wickets Full Updated List, Orange Cap, and Purple Cap After SRH vs RR Qualifier 2.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Table of Contents</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#srh-vs-rr-qualifier-2-match-summary">SRH vs RR Qualifier 2 Match Summary </a></li><li class=""><a href="#most-runs-tata-ipl-2024-stats-player-rankings-1-10">Most Runs: TATA IPL 2024 Stats ?

<p>Rajasthan Royals started the tournament with absolute blockbuster outings where they won 8 out of their first 9 matches. They had very high chances of getting the top 2 ranks in the IPL points table in the league stage but their downfall started from their match against Hyderabad where they lost the game by just 1 run. They kept losing the next three as well and finished 3rd in the points table with 17 points.</p>



<p>They got their matchup against RCB, who were riding on the winning carpet from the last 6 matches. RR were rock-solid in the Eliminator round eliminating RCB with an all-round show but this time it was SRH and the surface of Chennai. They were, however, the favorites as they have two best spinners in the form of Ashwin and Chahal but it wasn't meant to be their night.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="srh-vs-rr-qualifier-2-match-summary"><strong>SRH vs RR Qualifier 2 Match Summary </strong></h2>



<p>Winning the toss, Sanju Samson opted to bowl first, keeping the dew factor in mind. They asked SRH to bat first and Boult got the first over wicket after eating 13 runs in the first 5 balls. Rahul Tripathi came set from the dressing room and played a fiery innings of 37 runs in just 15 balls and fell prey to the slower one from Boult.</p>



<p>After analyzing in a couple of moments in the first couple of overs, RR found that the slower balls are much more effective on this surface and they used a lot of them and also got success. Heinrich Klaasen stood up to the expectations after the team fell down to 120 for 6 wickets after 14 overs. He scored 50 runs in 34 balls in a tough pitch to bat on and a run-a-ball 18 runs innings from Shahbaz Ahmed helped them to post 175 on the board. </p>

<p>The thing to notice from RR bowling is their spinner at over 70 runs in their 8 overs with no wickets. There wasn't much zip off the surface in the first innings and due wasn't there that lit up the eyes of the SRH bowlers.</p>



<p>Royals started cautiously and were in very good condition at the top. Jaiswal looked in his actual form in this match playing a 42-run innings with a strike rate of 200. The thing that took RR away from the game was the surprising spin off the surface in the second innings. The key wickets for SRH came from the spin duo of Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed.</p>



<p>Shahbaz, the hero with a three-for including two in one over, got the big wickets of Jaiswal and Parag. Abhishek took care of Samson and Hetmyer and that middle-overs slump never allowed RR to get back. The pitch got progressively slower and strokemaking became difficult. Tremendous captaincy from Cummins who realized that spin was the way to go and threw the ball to his tweakers.</p>

<p>Dhruv Jurel was the only one left warrior but his impressive 56-run innings wasn't enough to take down the mighty SRH and the Sunrisers won the match by 36 runs. Sunrisers Hyderabad are through to the finals and they will face Kolkata Knight Riders in the final of TATA IPL 2024.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="srh-vs-rr-qualifier-2-match-preview"><strong>SRH vs RR Qualifier-2 Match Preview</strong></h2>



<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) faced a defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the qualifier 1 a few days ago at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Shreyas Iyer's KKR advanced to the Final of the TATA IPL 2024 following the comprehensive win against SRH by 8 wickets.</p>



<p>SRH has shown signs of being ruthless in some of their outings, where they have managed to shatter records with their sensational batting approach, but the situation degrades drastically when their batters fail to produce big knocks. For them, there is no middle ground where they can rest, either they have ripped apart the opposition team with their batting or faced the heat.</p>



<p>Rajasthan Royals (RR), on the other side, have got a win up their sleeves following 4 game losing streak. They made fun of the so-called winning momentum against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) a couple of nights ago. </p>



<p>Sanju Samson's RR overpowered RCB's six-match winning run and knocked them out of the tournament, making a way forward for themselves subsequently.</p>

<p>The surfaces in Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium have not let any side settle into it, even the home side - CSK - faced issues reading the pitch. On some occasions, the pitch has aided the batters which facilitated the 200-run totals, while on some occasions it's been a pretty under-par score, as per the set standards of the tournament. The SRH vs RR Qualifier-2 is scheduled to be held in pitch number 7, which will be a fresh wicket, which brings a sense of unfamiliarity with it. The square boundaries will be short.</p>

<p><strong>SRH vs RR Qualifier-2 in IPL 2024</strong>: In what promises to be an exciting encounter, Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad and Sanju Samson?s Rajasthan Royals are set to lock horns against each other in the penultimate match of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League. It's going to be the second qualifier game of the playoffs and the match will be played tomorrow at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium. The game will commence at 7:30 pm IST.?</p>

<p>Both teams will be eager to give it their all in this game as it's going to be the final opportunity for both of these teams to book their spot in the final on 26th May against Kolkata Knight Riders.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad faced a defeat in Qualifier One against KKR in a one-sided affair as the 2016 winners got outplayed by the two-time champions in all departments. Fighting knocks by the trio of Rahul Tripathi (55 runs in 35 balls), Heinrich Klaasen (32 runs in 21 balls) and Pat Cummins (30 runs in 24 balls) helped SRH post a below-par total of 159 runs on the board but KKR chased down the target of 160 runs in 13.4 overs. The orange army will have to bounce back from their poor performance against KKR and perform well against Rajasthan Royals if they want to face KKR in the final on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Rajasthan Royal on the other hand won the Eliminator game against Royal Challengers Bangalore by four wickets comfortably and ended their four-match winless streak ahead of Qualifier two. After getting back to winning - ways, RR will head to the second qualifier two high on confidence and they would be looking to defeat SRH and book their spot in the final. But, their problems haven't been solved completely and the 2008 winners need their middle-order batters to fire. Barring Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal to some extent and Riyan Parag, other middle-order batters such as Rovman Powell and Dhruv Jurel have failed to deliver and against SRH in Chennai, the entire batting unit needs to perform well if Rajasthan wants to have any chance of defeating Hyderabad in the second qualifier.</p>



<p>Ahead of Qualifier Two, let's take a look at three-player battles that are worth watching out for.&nbsp;</p>

<p>SRH opener Abhishek Sharma has completely reinvented himself in the current edition of the IPL and he has played consistent innings at a strike rate of more than 200 this year. He is a crucial player for Hyderabad and his biggest - challenge will be against Rajasthan?s Trent Boult in the first six overs who continues to deceive batters with the swing he extracts with the new ball.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The 23-year-old SRH batter has struggled to deliver against Trent Boult in the past and he has scored just 13 runs in 21 deliveries against the RR seamer and has given away his wicket once as well. Keeping in mind the kind of form Sharma is currently in and the new aggressive intent that he has shown this season, it remains to be seen how well he will perform against Rajasthan's swing king in the second Qualifier.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson is having his best IPL season with the bat, but in the last few matches, he has failed to convert his starts into big scores. On the other hand, after starting IPL 2024 on a slow note, Bhuvi has refound his rhythm and has produced vintage Bhuvi spells which have been full of gorgeous swing deliveries in the previous SRH vs RR encounter, the Hyderabad seamer knocked over the stumps of Sanju Samson with a beautiful in swing delivery.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Talking about IPL stats between the two players, Sanju Samson has played 92 deliveries against Bhuvneshwar and has scored 118 runs at a not-so-impressive strike - rate of 128.3. Bhuvi has dismissed Sanju on four occasions and has bowled 40 dot deliveries as well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad and Proteas wicketkeeper-batsman Heinrich Klaasen is regarded as one of the best overseas batters of spin in the current generation of Cricket and his battle with Rajasthan Royals leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal will undoubtedly be very interesting to watch. Klaasen has scored 28 runs in 12 deliveries against Chahal in the IPL but the leggie has also managed to get the better of the SRH wicketkeeper on one occasion. Which player will finish out on top in this exciting battle? This question will be answered in the second Qualifier between SRH and RR.</p>

Top Three PLAYER BATTLES to Watch Out in SRH vs RR Qualifier-2 in IPL 2024

top-three-player-battles-to-watch-out-in-srh-vs-rr-qualifier-2-in-ipl-2024

<p><strong>IPL 2024 SRH vs RR</strong>: In what promises to be a really exciting and fabulous encounter, 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and 2008 winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to take on each other in the second Qualifier of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday, 24th May. Both the teams are going to fight it out against each other for the second spot in the final and the winner of this game will meet Kolkata Knight Riders in the final of IPL 2024 on 26th May.</p>



<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad?s formidable opening duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head are set to face a daunting challenge from Rajasthan?s spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal. The Chepauk Stadium is known to assist the spinners and it remains to be seen how well the duo of Head and Abhishek perform against Ashwin and Chahal.</p>



<p>While Pat Cummins-led SRH will come into this game on the back of a heavy eight-wicket defeat by the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders in Qualifier one, Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals secured a good four-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and both the teams will be giving their all to book their tickets for final against KKR.</p>



<p>In the previous game against Kolkata, Hyderabad?s strong batting unit failed to get going, with Rahul Tripathi?s solo fifty and a cameo of 30 runs by Skipper Pat Cummins helping the Men in Orange score 159 runs. But, the Shreyas Iyer-led Kolkata Knight Riders chased down the target of 160 runs in 14 overs at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium and secured a direct entry in the final of IPL 2024.</p>



<p>Despite the defeat in the first Qualifier, SRH has another opportunity to reach the final due to finishing in the top two in the overall standings. Rajasthan Royals on the other hand qualified for the second Qualifier after Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag?s partnership helped them chase down the target of 173 against RCB at the same Stadium of Ahmedabad.</p>



<p>Both franchises will be looking to move one step closer to lifting their second IPL trophy as they take on each other for the 20th time in the history of the IPL and for the first time&nbsp;in&nbsp;Chennai.</p>



<p>Ahead of the second Qualifier let's take a look at three players which are definitely worth watching out for.</p>



<p><strong>SRH vs RR: Three Players to watch out for</strong></p>



<p><strong>1 . Travis Head </strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/Travis-Head.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-134368" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Travis Head vs RCB</figcaption></figure>



<p>Aussie and SRH opener Travis Head has taken the IPL by storm as he has amassed 533 runs at an outstanding average of 53 and a humongous strike rate of 199. His consistent performances at the top of the order provides firepower and stability to SRH which is crucial for chasing or setting big targets. However, the 30 year old has been dismissed for golden ducks in his last two games but we all know how dangerous Head has been this season and he will like to perform according to his usual standards against Rajasthan Royals and help his team qualify for the final.</p>



<p><strong>2. Yuzvendra Chahal </strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/Yuzvendra-Chahal-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2024: Three players whose India-carrier depends on IPL 2024 performance" class="wp-image-127402" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Yuzvendra Chahal</figcaption></figure>



<p>Indian Premier League's highest wicket taker Yuzvendra Chahal is having an amazing IPL 2024 season as he has dismissed batters 18 times this season at an average of 28.44 and an economy rate of 9.48. He is a really dangerous bowler when conditions are favorable for spinners and Chepauk is known for assisting spinners so Chahal will be looking to exploit the spin friendly conditions and trouble the SRH batting lineup with his variations. Ending the IPL on a good note will be important for Chahal as he is a part of India's squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup as well.</p>



<p><strong>3. Yashasvi Jaiswal </strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Yashasvi-Jaiswal-1024x684.jpg" alt="IPL Points Table 2024 Updated [April 23], Rajasthan Royals at TOP, Most Runs, Most Wickets by a player after RR vs MI" class="wp-image-133267" style="width:664px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



<p>Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is an on and off IPL 2024 season. The youngster has scored a century this year against MI but he has failed to convert his starts into big innings in the majority of the games this season. However, in the eliminator against RCB, Jaiswal played a crucial inning of 45 runs in 30 balls and helped his team chase down the target of 173 runs easily. His form is going to be really important for Rajasthan Royals if they want to lift the IPL trophy for the second time in their history and Indian National Team would also like Jaiswal to end the IPL on a good note ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup.</p>

<p>Former Chennai Super Kings cricketer Ambati Rayudu took a brutal dig at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after their loss to Rajasthan Royals in the <a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) 2024. He said that the Faf du Plessis-led side didn?t win the IPL by beating Chennai Super Kings.</p>



<p>RCB knocked out CSK in what was a virtual eliminator between the teams. However, after that, their fans didn?t go easy on the Chennai team and trolled them for getting out of the tournament. However, after that, they were set to face RR in the Eliminator.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who won the 6 games on the trot, felt a heartbreaking loss in the game against RR. They suffered a 4-wicket loss at the Narendra Modi International Stadium in Ahmedabad as they got eliminated and their wait for the trophy continued.?</p>

<p>As Bengaluru lost the game, Ambati Rayudu didn?t go easy on the team and stated that they only have passion and celebration but no trophies in their cabinet. While slamming them, he claimed that they didn?t win the trophy by reaching playoffs. He added:?</p>



<p><strong>"</strong><em>If you talk about RCB, it shows that only passion and celebration don't win you trophies. You don't get the IPL trophy just by reaching the playoffs. Don't think you will win the trophy just by beating CSK"</em><strong>.</strong></p>



<p>Bengaluru had a decent campaign in the IPL 2024. They lost 7 out of their first 8 games in the tournament but after that, they staged a dominant comeback. They won 6 games on the bounce and qualified for the playoffs of the tournament.?</p>

<p>Skipper Faf du Plessis opened up about the RCB?s loss, saying that he is proud of the way his team performed but admitted that they didn?t play well in Eliminator. He added:</p>



<p><em>?Extremely proud. A lot of teams - their wheels would've fallen off after 1 from 9. To come back like that, six games in a row, takes a lot of heart and character. We weren't special tonight in terms of pushing that extra 20 runs with the bat.?</em> He concluded.?</p>

IPL 2024

<p>Yashasvi Jaiswal was leading the Indian batting and brought the visitors back into the game. He stitched an important 102-run partnership with Virat Kohli for the third wicket, and Team India were looking good until there was a miscommunication between the two. Jaiswal was looking good for another big score and was going very well.</p>
<p>But on the last ball of the 41st over, he drove a ball to mid-on and was out of the blocks for a run. Virat, who was watching the ball, didn't respond, and Jaiswal got run out. That was the turning point in the Indian batting innings so far.</p>
<p>That run out also must have broken Virat's concentration, and he got out once again trying to poke at the ball outside off stump. Before that, he was leaving it pretty well. Jaiswal scored his ninth test fifty and made 82 runs off 118 balls, with 11 fours and one six. However, before getting out, he achieved a special feat.</p>
<h2>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Yashavi Jaiswal joins Sachin Tendulkar among the Indian players with most Test runs in a calendar year.</h2>
<p>Jaiswal has had a tremendous year with the bat for India. He has scored the most runs for India in tests this year, and overall, he is the second-highest scorer in 2024. Jaiswal has scored 1394 runs in 28 innings at an average of 53.61 with three centuries and 8 half-centuries. He has hit 36 sixes this year.</p>
<p>Earlier, Jaiswal broke the long-standing record of Brendon McCullum for most test sixes in a year. McCullum struck 34 sixes in 2014, and Jaiswal has already hit 36 in 2024. Apart from that, Jaiswal has joined Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, and Sunil Gavaskar in an elite list of Indian batters with the most test runs in a calendar year.</p>
<p>In his 82-run innings, he went past Rahul Dravid (1357), Gundappa Viswanath (1388), and Virat (1322). Jaiswal has now scored the fifth-most test runs by an Indian in a calendar year. Sachin holds the Indian record with 1562 runs in 2010. Jaiswal still has one more innings in the MCG test, and he needs another 169 runs to break that record.</p>
<p>Speaking of the game, India finished Day 2 at 164/5. They were at 153/2 at one point and then lost three quick wickets for six runs. The visitors are still 111 runs behind to avoid the follow-on. Rishabh Pant (6) and Ravindra Jadeja (4) are at the crease, and India need a special effort from their lower order to do something.</p>

Yashasvi Jaiswal was unlucky to get run out after a well-made 82 in the first innings of the ongoing Boxing Day Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

<p>IND vs AUS DAY 2: Australia continued from their strong overnight score of 311/6 and completely dominated India in the first session of the day. Australia crushed India’s bowling, scoring 474 with Smith’s brilliant 140. India now faces a tough challenge on a tricky pitch.</p>
<p>Here’s how the action unfolded on Day 2:</p>
<h2><strong>Session 1: Australia Tightens the Grip</strong></h2>
<p>It was all about Australia in the morning session. In just 27 overs, they smashed 143 runs and lost only one wicket. India’s bowlers looked clueless as the Aussies made merry. Akash Deep, who shone yesterday, had a rough time today, giving away runs, while Jasprit Bumrah kept toiling but couldn’t find the breakthrough early on.</p>
<p>Steve Smith, looking every bit like the run-machine he is, played with ease and elegance. He kept the scoreboard ticking with clever singles and sharp boundaries, leaving no scoring chance behind. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins supported him brilliantly, finding the ropes regularly and frustrating the Indian bowlers.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_676e141bad740.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>The big moment came when Smith brought up his fifth Test century at the iconic MCG. The 112-run partnership between Smith and Cummins left India reeling. Cummins eventually fell to Ravindra Jadeja, trying to attack, but by then, the damage was done. India’s bowlers seemed tired and out of ideas, with their short-ball strategy failing on a pitch that wasn’t offering much pace or bounce.</p>
<h2><strong>Session 2: India Strikes Back, But Australia Posts a Mammoth Total</strong></h2>
<p>After lunch, India finally had something to cheer about. Ravindra Jadeja struck early, dismissing Mitchell Starc, and the very next ball saw the end of the brilliant Steve Smith, who was trapped on 140. It was a knock that reminded everyone why Smith is considered one of the best in the world—two centuries in two matches, first in Brisbane and now here at the MCG.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_676e1417aedc4.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Jasprit Bumrah then wrapped things up, dismissing Nathan Lyon, but not before Lyon and Scott Boland added 19 valuable runs for the last wicket. Australia finished their innings with a massive 474 runs on the board.</p>
<h2><strong>Australia’s Commanding Total</strong></h2>
<p>474 runs is a huge score on this pitch. With the surface offering something for both pacers and spinners, it’s going to be a big test for the Indian batters.</p>
<p>The foundation of this innings was laid by debutant Sam Konstas’ brilliant knock on Day 1, followed by good and moving innings from Manus, Khwaja, Carey, and not to mention a masterclass from Steve Smith today. His knock had shades of his golden form from 2019, leaving the Indian bowlers scratching their heads.</p>
<p>India’s bowling attack had very few bright spots. Bumrah was once again the standout, fighting hard to contain the Aussie batters. Jadeja kept things steady, but Akash Deep struggled to replicate his heroics from yesterday.</p>
<p>Can India’s batters rise to the occasion and fight back, or will this Australian total prove too much to handle? The challenge is massive, and the MCG is set for another gripping chapter in this Test series!</p>
<p></p>

Australia dominated on Day 2, piling up 474 runs with Steve Smith’s masterful century. India’s bowlers struggled, while brief resistance from Bumrah and Jadeja couldn’t stop the Aussie charge on a challenging pitch.

Steve Smith’s century and Australia’s 474-run total leave India facing an uphill battle on a pitch favoring both spinners and pacers.

<p>Jasprit Bumrah once again proved why he is one of the best in the business. Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground saw the Australian batters dominating the Indian bowlers.</p>
<p>The counterattack started when the debutant Sam Konstas took on Bumrah and slammed him for two sixes in an over. They set the tone for the hosts, and they had a great batting display in the first sessions. All four top Australian batters marked a fifty each.</p>
<p>But it was once again Bumrah who brought India into the game. He dismissed dangerous Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh in quick succession, which dented the Australian scoring rate. Bumrah ended the day at 3/75. He once again proved to be the real threat for the hosts.</p>
<h2>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Jasprit Bumrah on verge of reaching 200 wickets in Test cricket on Day 2</h2>
<p>Jasprit Bumrah, with his three wickets, registered a couple of great records. He dismissed Head for a duck and became the first Indian bowler to dismiss the Australian batter for a duck against India. Apart from him, with his three wickets, he also went past Anil Kumble (15) to take the most wickets at the MCG.</p>
<p>Bumrah now has 18 wickets at this iconic venue. But as he steps on the field on Day 2, Bumrah eyes a major record. Notably, Bumrah has 197 wickets now, and he has a chance to complete 200 wickets in the first innings itself. Australia still have four wickets left in the bank, and if the Indian pacer can take three wickets on Day 2, he will become the fastest Indian to reach this milestone.</p>
<p>Currently, Kapil Dev holds the record for the fastest Indian pacer to take 200 wickets in 50 tests. Jasprit Bumrah is currently playing his 44th Test, and he still has the second innings, but he can achieve this feat on Day 2 itself. Overall, Ravichandran Ashwin holds this Indian record in 37 tests.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, India need to make sure that they take the remaining four wickets early on Day 2 and try to bat long. India have dropped Shubman Gill, so they are one batter short. Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, and Nitish Reddy are three all-rounders in the lower middle order who need to take responsibility. Rohit Sharma is likely to open the innings, and KL Rahul will bat at no. 3.</p>

<p>Five time IPL winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had a good 2025 Mega-Auction and they have built a solid squad ahead of the next edition of the tournament. The franchise managed to re-acquire the services of the duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway in the Mega-Auction and they also bought R Ashwin, who played for the franchise between 2009 to 2015.</p>
<p>The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) will be kicking off from the 14th of March onwards and in this situation, the New Zealand player are going to face issues as the T20 International and One Day International series between the Kiwis and Pakistan is scheduled to start in the same month as well. </p>
<p>This will make it difficult for players like Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Mitchell Santnwr, Bevan Jacobs and Glenn Phillips to participate in the first three weeks of the 2025 edition of the IPL.</p>
<h2><strong>Why is the duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway likely to miss the starting phase of IPL 2025? </strong></h2>
<p>The New Zealand players will be staying in Pakistan post the conclusion of 2025 Champions Trophy on the 9th of March. From 16th of March to 5th of April, the Black Caps and the Shaheens will be squaring off versus each other in five T20 International games and three One Day International encounters. This is the reason why the duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway will most likely miss the start of IPL 2025.</p>
<p>Even during the previous edition of the tournament, a white ball Cricket series took place between the same teams. At that time, a total of nine Kiwi players priorotized the IPL over the bilateral white-ball tour of Pakistan and played in the cash-rich T20 league. This time around though, there are doubts regarding the New Zealand Cricket Board agreeing to let their main players skip the tour of Pakistan and play in the IPL. </p>
<p>The New Zealand Cricket Board has not taken any decision yet regarding the participation of their players in the 18th edition of the IPL. Last time around, the BCCI requested the NZC to let nine players miss the Pakistan series and play in the IPL. This time around too, the Cricket Governing Body of India is expected to make a request to the New Zealand Cricket Board in advance and resolve this issue by January of 2025.</p>
<p>If the duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway are not given the permission to skip the Pakistan tour in favour of the IPL, then a lot of big problems are likely to be created for the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK). </p>

New Zealand's 2025 white-ball bilateral tour of Pakistan is set to clash with IPL 2025 and this will make it difficult for New Zealand players to play in the initial phase of the IPL. CSK duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway are going to get affected by this.

<p><span>Indian players Mohammed Siraj and Virat Kohli were at their aggressive best during Day 1 of the ongoing fourth Test against Australia. The Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne is hosting the Boxing Day Test between the teams.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj made sure that they gave the Australian team a taste of their own medicine. The duo were seen continuously going into the head of the opposition batters, in particular Sam Konstas and Marnus Labuschagne.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>As they were all over the Australia batters, Mohammed Siraj had a light conversation with Marnus Labuschagne. It was then that Virat Kohli ordered the pacer to keep the intensity high and told him not to laugh. The batter was passing inputs to the pacer, and it was caught on the stump mic.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Virat Kohli was heard telling pacer Mohammed Siraj, "<i>Has ke baat nahi karna inse (Don't smile while talking to them)</i>," However, after when Mohammed Siraj  exchanged words with Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne. </span><span>You can watch the video below:</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<h2>Australia started the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on high</h2>
<p><span>Coming to the match, Australia started the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on high. The hosts had a great day with the bat at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. They were off to a brutal start with the bat, thanks to debutant Sam Konstas (60).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The 19-year-old took the attack to the Indian bowlers, in particular Jasprit Bumrah, from the start and raced away to his half-century. He, along with Usman Khawaja (57), added 89 runs for the opening partnership before Marnus Labuschagne (72) joined Khawaja, and the duo put on 65 runs.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Steve Smith (68*) also slammed a vital half-century and kept batting till the end. India made a slight comeback after the wicket of Marnus as they picked quick wickets.

<p><span>India captain Rohit Sharma was actively involved in the game during the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Rohit Sharma was left pretty frustrated in the first two sessions of the match as Australia had a great time with the bat. The Pat Cummins-led side came up with a magical batting effort, especially from the top four batters Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith, who all slammed half-centuries.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Rohit Sharma tried different things, but nothing seemed to be going his way as Australia's batters kept smashing runs. This also saw India's captain going hard at his players, and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was at the receiving end of the thrashing.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>It happened during Ravindra Jadeja's over when the all-rounder was bowling to Steve Smith. The Australian batter defended the ball, which went straight to Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was standing near the wicket at the square leg region. He came up with a bizarre effort, and this didn't go well with Rohit Sharma.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>

<p><span>As the ball went towards Yashasvi Jaiswal, instead of fielding, he jumped and saved himself. This made Rohit Sharma angry as he was seen telling the batter: "Ay Jaisu, Gully cricket khel raha hai kya? Niche baith ke reh. Jab tak ball khelega nahi, uthne ka nahi. Niche baith ke reh." You can see the video below:</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>However, after the first session, India made a strong comeback as they picked up a few quick wickets and brought themselves back into the game. Jasprit Bumrah, who was taken for cleaners in the first session, picked three wickets and brought some hope for relief for fans.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Australia at stumps were 311 for six. Steve Smith was unbeaten at 68. India and captain Rohit Sharma will be hoping that they pick early wickets on Day 2 and come up with a better performance with the bat.</span></p>

It was then the Australian debutant started taking attacks on the Indian bowlers and slammed them all over the park.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Sam Konstas, in particular, slammed Jasprit Bumrah all over the park. He played unorthodox shots and reversed-scooped him for six. While the battle between pacers and batter was going high, Virat Kohli was having a go at a batter behind the stumps.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>But the tensions flared up after the 10th over of the innings. After the over ended, Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas bumped shoulders while moving across the pitch between overs. Immediately after that, they shared a heated exchange of words before Usman Khawaja and umpire Michael Gough interrupted to separate the batters.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>

<p>Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was full of action. The day ended with Australia on top, but it was Virat Kohli and the debutant who gathered the headlines. All Australian and Indian media are talking about the incident that happened during the morning session.</p>
<p>It was Virat Kohli who bumped into Sam Konstas, and both were seen exchanging words on the field. Usman Khawaja and the umpires had to intervene to settle the matter. But both players were looking at each other. That physical altercation also saw Virat getting punished. He was fined 20 percent of his match fee and was given one demerit point.</p>
<h2>What is Virat Kohli's salary, and how much will he get after a 20 percent deduction?</h2>
<p>The cricket world is talking about the incident, and everyone has their opinion. Virat admitted and accepted his action. As a result, he was fined 20 percent of his match fee. But how much will be deducted from his salary? What will he get after deduction? We will talk about it here.</p>
<p>Notably, Virat Kohli is a top-grade Indian cricketer who falls in the A category. However, the grade doesn't decide the match fee. For an Indian cricketer, playing a test match, the fee is INR 15 lakhs. That means Virat will earn INR 15 lac from the ongoing test as the match fee.</p>
<p>As he has been fined 20 percent of the match fee, that means INR 3 lakh will be deducted from his salary as a penalty. After deduction, he will be getting INR 12 lacs. But as per the new incentive schemes for the Indian players by the BCCI, all players who play 75 percent of the test matches a year will get an additional INR 30 lacs per match as an incentive.</p>
<p>But Virat missed the five-match home test series against England earlier this year. He has featured in ten games out of 15 India played in 2024. That means he won't feature in that 75-percent category and won't get added INR 30 lac schemes. Speaking of the game, Australia finished the day at 311/6. Their top four all made half-centuries. For India, Jasprit Bumrah took three wickets.</p>

<p><span>India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar has revealed why Shubman Gill was dropped from the team for the fourth Test against Australia, which is taking place in Melbourne. He mentioned that the batter isn't dropped but couldn't find way in the combination.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The fourth Test between India and Australia commenced on Thursday (26th December). It is a Boxing-day Test, which is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne and saw the enthralling day of cricket on Day 1 of the match.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>India's team made a massive change going into the game as young batter Shubman Gill was dropped from the team. In his place, the Rohit Sharma-led side included all-rounder, Washington Sundar, looking at the conditions, which looked pretty flat on Day 1 of the match.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Shubman Gill getting dropped didn't go well with many fans and experts as they lashed out at the Indian team management for their poor decision. This is because the right-hander is the second-leading run-getter for the team in the longest format of the game this year, with over 800 runs.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<h2><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> I feel for Shubman but he understands - Abhishek Nayar </span></span></h2>
<p><span>But, Abhishek Nayar, Indian assistant coach, confirmed that Shubman isn't dropped. He said that he felt that Washington Sundar could be handy on the wicket along with Ravindra Jadeja. While mentioning that he feels for the young batter, Nayar said the batter was on the same page with the Team. Speaking to reporters, he said:</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>"Looking at the pitch, we felt Washi could give solidarity along with Jaddu. I feel for Shubman but he understands. He’s not really dropped, just couldn’t find his way in the combination."</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Not only this, Abhishek Nayar also confirmed that Rohit Sharma will be opening the innings for the team. This means that KL Rahul will walk out to bat at No.3 and the team management would be hoping that the move pays off and India wins the game.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Coming to the match, Australia had a great day with the bat after opting to bat first. They piled up a massive total of 311 runs, with the top four batters slamming half-centuries and putting India bowlers under pressure. It remains to be seen what will be India's response on Day 2.</span></p>

<p>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium has ended. The hosts won the toss and elected to bat first. The Australian top order made the decision right, as all four top players scored a fifty each. Australia were looking to get to a big score at 237/3 when India pulled things back with some wickets.</p>
<p>Jasprit Bumrah once again was the pick of the bowlers, who took 3/75, while Akashdeep, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar took one wicket each. Steve Smith and Pat Cummins (8*) are unbeaten at the stumps. Smith is looking good for another century as he has scored 68 not out from 111 balls.</p>
<p>It won't be wrong to say that the first day belongs to the hosts. It started with some positive batting from the 19-year-old debutant Sam Konstas. He slammed a debut fifty. He made 60 off 65 balls, with six fours and two sixes, and took on Bumrah. That's when there was an ugly altercation captured between him and former Indian captain Virat Kohli on the field.</p>
<h2>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Virat Kohli fined 20 percent of his match fee for his physical altercation with Sam Konstas at MCG</h2>
<p>The former Indian captain collided with Konstas in the middle, which saw the two engaging in a heated exchange at the pitch. Usman Khawaja had to intervene, putting his hands on the shoulders of Virat with a smile and separating the two. Notably, inappropriate physical contact with a player, umpire, player personnel, or match referee comes under Law 2.12.</p>
<p>As a result, Virat Kohli has been fined for his action on the field. The former captain has admitted his action and has been punished with 20 percent of his match fee. Some reports even claimed that Virat might have to suffer a ban, but he ended with a match fee deduction.</p>
<p>For the visitors, who are already struggling, this is a blow, but they would be happy that there is no ban for Virat. Speaking of the game, Australia finished the day with 311/6. Usman Khawaja (57) and Marnus Labuschagne (72) also made half-centuries. Travis Head was bowled for a duck by Bumrah.</p>
