IPL 2023: IPL has been widely regarded for its highly entertaining gameplay and for providing an incredibly competitive platform for national and international talents. Many great players have dominated the shorter format, particularly those who could score quick runs at the end of a game and bowl crucial overs when their team needed them.&nbsp;



In the game of the strongest power strikers, the biggest hitters and the strongest tangent of players are mostly placed in the lower middle order of the batting order. It is the all-rounders who mostly play in a finishing role and are good at switching gears during the end overs. It is also noted that often in a T20 game, the power-hitting finishers end a successful batting inning.&nbsp;



Let's take a look at the 10 teams and their best possible set of all-rounders in IPL 2023:







<h2>10. Rajasthan Royals (RR) - Riyan Parag, Jason Holder and Ravichandran Ashwin</h2>

Rating: 5/10



Rajasthan Royals had a prolific run in the last season of the IPL in 2022, but one of the prime causes of their ultimate failure in the brilliant run was the absence of a good bunch of all-rounders. The Royals, however, looked to build an impressive lineup by picking up a certain promising set of all-rounders in the 2022 mini-auction.&nbsp;



They already have the talented Indian domestic all-rounder Riyan Parag, No. 7, who excels more with the bat than the ball while playing for Assam in the Indian domestic tournaments. The Royals ended their hunt for a fifth bowling option and a hitter at No. 7 by picking up <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Holder">Jason Holder</a> for 5.75 crores in the IPL 2023 mini-auction.&nbsp;



Another dependable option in the Royals' lineup is Indian veteran Ravi Ashwin, who was an asset for the Royals during their incredible run in 2022, both with the bowl and with the bat in times of crisis. The trio is expected to be good at executing their game on the field.

<h2>9. Mumbai Indians (MI) - Cameron Green</h2>

Rating: 6/10



Though the Mumbai Indians are the most successful team in the history of the tournament and also the most formidable team on the team sheets, they still lack numbers in the slot for all-rounders. The Indians, however, have only picked Cam Green at a whopping price of 17.5 crores in the IPL mini-auction.&nbsp;



The mighty Australian hitter is flexible enough to play at all positions, as he can smack the ball in all situations, both at the top of the inning and even at the end of the inning. He also has a special hand in bowling crucial overs and can be a good go-to bowler. However, Green is the only choice MI has as an all-rounder, as they lack options in that role.&nbsp;

<h2>8. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) - Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shakib Al-Hasan and David Wiese</h2>

Rating: 6/10



Though KKR is known to have players with the maximum power-hitting capacity and highly recognized finishers from around the world, they haven't shown any proficiency in the recent past. The Knight Riders' all-rounders had earlier nailed it, but later could not secure their efficiency.&nbsp;



The hugely built Andre Russell was the anchor of KKR's power-hitting ability, but he lost his form and sense of timing and hence failed in the last few years. Another eminent all-rounder was Sunil Narine, both with the bat and ball; however, he lost his proficiency with age.



KKR, along with these veteran players, have now included longtime player Shakib and newly included Wiese, and whoever features in the lineup is expected to deliver in one way or another.&nbsp;

<h2>7. Delhi Capitals (DC) - Mitchell Marsh, Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav</h2>

Rating: 7/10



The Capitals have always had a balanced lineup, as they include top-notch batters at the top of the order, a hitched middle order, power-packed finishers consisting of genuine all-rounders, and a baseline made up of resisting bowlers. Their IPL 2023 squad is nothing different. &nbsp;



Out of all these uniquely talented players, the most entertaining set is often that of the all-rounders, which now comprise the big-hitting man from western Australia, Mitchell Marsh, the recently consistent lower-order all-rounder, Axar Patel, and the Capitals' reliable domestic asset, Lalit Yadav.&nbsp;



Though Marsh has been a bit out of touch in recent years, on the other hand, Axar has attained greater proficiency in playing continuous cricket in Indian colors.&nbsp;

<h2>6. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) - Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Romario Shepherd, Daniel Sams and Kyle Mayers</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Marcus-Stoinis_11zon-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-104836"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2023: Marcus Stoinis (Source: DNA India)</figcaption></figure>



Rating: 7/10



Though the team made its debut in the last season, the set of all-rounders in the team consists of highly experienced players, like Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya. The big-hitting Aussie all-rounder captivates the game with his finishing skills and is capable of changing the course of the game at any point.&nbsp;



Krunal, on the other hand, adds more balance to the LSG batting order and can bowl economical overs at all stages of the game. LSG included many new players in their set by picking big-hitting Romario Shepherd, effective Daniel Sams, and reliable Kyle Mayers, and they can also count on Deepak Hooda to play the role of a batting all-rounder and roll his fingers over the ball.&nbsp;

<h2>5. Gujarat Titans (GT) - Hardik Pandya, Rahul Tewatiya, Odean Smith and Rashid Khan</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Hardik-Pandya.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-104837"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2023: Hardik Pandya (Source: Zee News)</figcaption></figure>



Rating: 7/10



The debutante in the last season showed a prolific debut in their debut season. The Titans depended on the proficiency of their middle order, which consisted mostly of all-rounders. Hardik Pandya, their captain, has been the most prominent contributor among all of these players, leading his team from the front in both the batting and bowling departments.&nbsp;



Another efficient player in the lineup is Tewatiya, who smacked the ball and launched attacks on their opponents in every finishing situation. The team is also highly dependent on the veteran T20I expert, Rashid Khan, the Afghan, has set several records with the ball and is also efficient in scoring runs at a massive rate, especially during run chases.&nbsp;

<h2>4. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) - Aiden Markram, Abhishek Sharma, Washington Sundar and Marco Jansen</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Abhishek-Sharma_11zon-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-104838"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2023: Abhishek Sharma (Source: Hindustan Times)</figcaption></figure>



Rating: 7.5/10



SRH is probably the team with the best lineup on the team sheets, and the most comprehensive set of players is in their middle order. SRH's all-rounders are perfectly spread throughout the innings, with the first bat-and-ball combination player coming at the top of the order, Abhishek Sharma.&nbsp;



The preeminent all-around option in their squad is the versatile Aiden Markram, who has proven his terrific class and resistance in all formats of the game and is also announced as the skipper for SRH in IPL 2023. Other quality all-rounders include the young pacemen Marco Jansen and Sundar, as both are equally efficient in the batting department as well.&nbsp;

<h2>3. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) - Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Ben-Stokes_11zon-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-104839"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Times of India</figcaption></figure>



Rating: 8/10



The most successful team in terms of winning percentage in the tournament was not that convincing in the last season. The most intriguing player in the setup is Ben Stokes, who was bought at an alarming rate of 16.25 crores in IPL 2023 mini-auction. Stokes will add to the reliability of CSK's middle order and is expected to be their go-to bowler in difficult situations.&nbsp;



Equally proficient Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja have been part of the "Men in Yellow" setup for many years now. These players provide sublime balance to the Super Kings' setup in IPL 2023. The current Kiwi skipper is equally proficient in the shorter format, especially on Indian pitches.&nbsp;

<h2>2. Punjab Kings (PBKS) - Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Sikander Raza</h2>

Rating: 9/10



The Punjab Kings are stunning as an overall unit, however, their all-rounders are different and stable performers in&nbsp;the recent scenario. They broke all records in their attempt to bid for English bowling all-rounder Sam Curran, as they picked him at an alarming price of 18.5 crores in IPL 2023 mini-auction.&nbsp;



Another smart buy was the Zimbabwean all-rounder and limited-overs skipper Sikander Raza, who is no doubt the best limited-overs cricketer playing across all limited-overs formats of the game. These two will add to the proficiency of Liam Livingstone, and together the trio will emerge as an invincible combination in IPL 2023.

<h2>1. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) - Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed and Wanindu Hasaranga </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Glen-Maxwell-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-104841"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2023: Glen Maxwell (Source: Times of India)</figcaption></figure>



Rating: 10/10



The RCB lineup comprises the best set of all-rounders who excel at delivering all-round excellence on the field. Their prime all-round option and most reliable player is the Aussie T20 veteran Glenn Maxwell, who has shown excellent performance in the shorter format in whichever league he has played in. Shahbaz Ahmed has been an equally relevant player while playing as a batsman in the middle order and has often been promoted up the order when the team is in crisis.&nbsp;



Wanindu Hasaranga, RCB's biggest buy of the 2022 auction, is another all-star in the RCB's IPL 2023 squad. He was a standout performer for the Challengers the previous year.

IPL 2023: Ranking All IPL 10 Teams Based on Their Potential set of All-rounders

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has issued a massive warning to the Australia team ahead of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He said that they need to win one game out of the two remaining and they will retain the trophy. 
The Test series between India and Australia is levelled at 1-1. Both the teams displayed magnificent performances in the first three games, and the focus moves towards the fourth Test, which will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from 26th December, which will be a Boxing Day match. 
While it was India who registered a massive 295-run win in Perth, Australia fought back and won the next game in Adelaide by 10 wickets. The Gabba Test ended in a draw, and now the stage is all set for the most important match of the series, which will be a virtual series decider. 
India hasn't lost a Boxing Day Test against Australia in the last 12 years, and it will be a massive opportunity for the team to win. If they manage to win the match, they will retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and also will inch one step closer to the final of the ICC World Test Championship final, which will be played next year. 
<h2>Even if we win one match out of the next two, we will retain the series - Ravindra Jadeja </h2>
Ravindra Jadeja, who attended the short press conference, admitted that they are in a good position. But he also was quick to quip that if they win even one game, they will retain the series. He is confident that they will complete a hat-trick of wins in Australia. Speaking to reporters, he explained:
"We are in a good position, after three matches, it's still 1-1. It is going to be interesting. Even if we win one match out of the next two, we will retain the series because we have won the last two times here. 
"It's a good opportunity to push ourselves and do well in Melbourne. Yes, we will worry about the last match later, the focus now is on the Boxing Day Test. It's a crucial game for us." 
Ravindra Jadeja will be extremely important for India going into the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The all-rounder played a vital role for India in the last match, where he made a comeback and played a magnificent innings of 77 runs with the bat.

India skipper Rohit Sharma has been putting hard yards in the nets ahead of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The match between the two teams will get underway on 26th December at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. 
Rohit Sharma has struggled immensely with the bat in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The skipper has managed just 19 runs in the 4 innings that he has played, and this has seen him facing a lot of criticism for his poor returns with the bat in an important series. 
Rohit Sharma, who missed the first Test, has been batting in the middle order in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The premier batter has allowed KL Rahul to take the role at the top, but moving down the order hasn't done anything great to him either, as he has looked clueless while batting at No.6. 
With pressure mounting on him, Rohit Sharma is making sure that he gives his best and prepares himself fully for the Melbourne game. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that the Indian captain is putting hard yards in the nets and has left no stone unturned ahead of the MCG Test. 
<h2>Rohit Sharma displayed precise footwork and moved his feet well in nets </h2>
The reports claimed that Rohit Sharma batted for 1 hour 20 minutes. The captain displayed precise footwork and moved well. He wasn't going for every ball and trusted his defence. The most important thing was he was looking hungry to bat. 
The upcoming fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be extremely important for the Indian team. Witn series being levelled at 1-1, it will be a massive opportunity for Rohit Sharma and his men to take a lead and retain the Trophy and also put one step closer to the ICC World Test Championship final. 
The focus will be on Rohit Sharma as he will be looking to silence all these critics and play a big innings with the bat. If India has to fancy their chances of winning, they would want the skipper to step up and take the team to win in the next game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been accused of deliberately fighting with the Australian media ahead of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The Australian media targeted the left-hander for not answering questions in English. 
This came after Ravindra Jadeja attended the press conference ahead of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The all-rounder couldn't attend to the reporters for a long as they had to catch the team bus, which was heading towards the ground for a practice session. 
The Australian media claimed that Ravindra Jadeja answered questions in Hindi and didn't reply anything in English. This came even though he knew that there were Australian reporters as well, and yet he didn't say anything in English that didn't go well with the media people there. 
The Australian media also recently fought with Virat Kohli at the Melbourne airport. This was because they clicked the pictures of his family without his consent, and it didn't go well with Batter, who lashed out at the media, telling them they couldn't film him without his family. 
With the fresh controversy over Ravindra Jadeja, Indian media also has hit out at the Australian media. The reports in RevSportz claimed that it wasn't mandatory to reply to questions in English and added that the all-rounder still managed a 9-minute press conference despite the team bus waiting for him. 
<h2>Ravindra Jadeja will be extremely important for India going into the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25</h2>
Ravindra Jadeja will be extremely important for India going into the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The all-rounder played a vital role for India in the last match, where he made a comeback and played a magnificent innings of 77 runs with the bat. 
His innings came at a crucial time when India lost early wickets and was under massive pressure. Jadeja's knock helped India avoid the follow-on and draw the match. The series between the two teams is now levelled at 1-1 and the next game will be played in Melbourne on 26th December.

Team India, under the captaincy of Niki Prasad were the table toppers in the Super 4 phase of Women's U-19 Asia Cup. They played four matches and out of these four games, they registered victories in three while match ended in a no-result situation. They topped the table with seven points next to their name. 
The Bangladeshi U-19 Women's Team had occupied the 2nd position in the overall standings. They participated in four games and secured wins in three contests.

India had a hard-fought draw at the Gabba in Brisbane, which has helped them to enter the fourth test with the series poised at 1-1. The fourth test between India and Australia will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which will start on December 26. It will be the Boxing Day Test, which is the showpiece of this summer.

In what has been the latest development as per the former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif, India vs Pakistan series might be around the corner. His comments came following the ICC announcement that India and Pakistan won't be travelling to each other's country till 2027. 
Rashid Latif claimed that both the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) are set to organize the tournament that will benefit both the BCCI as well as PCB. This is because ICC, BCCI, PCB and ACB are all set to face financial loss after the recent decision made on the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
However, to compensate for that, a new formula has come into the mind and has got serious consideration. According to this, India and Pakistan will be playing each other at neutral venues. But it won't be only the two arch-rivals playing in the series. 
The reports added that it will be a tri-series type tournament that will involve India, Pakistan, who will be getting the majority of its income shared, and one more high-ranking team. This will also help broadcasters recover from the loss that they will be facing from India and Pakistan not visiting each other's country. 
This comes as massive news for the fans as both India and Pakistan last played each other in the bilateral series in 2012. After that, the two teams have been playing against each other only in the ICC and ACC events. If this happens, it could be the biggest thing in world cricket. 
<h2>India and Pakistan will be locking horns with each other next in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
India and Pakistan will be locking horns with each other next in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The official schedule of the tournament will be coming soon, and it is expected that two arch-rivals will be playing at the Dubai in the event, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
The last time India and Pakistan played was in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. It saw India winning the game from the jaws of defeat and it remains to be seen what will be the result this time around when they two play each other in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

There is so far no clarity related to Mohammed Shami's participation in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. However, the fast bowler was recently named in the Bengal squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 and was expected to play the opening game of the tournament. 
However, Mohammed Shami has been rested for the Bengal’s Vijay Hazare Trophy opener against Delhi on Saturday in Hyderabad. The development was confirmed by the Cricket Association of Bengal and it sparks rumours about another injury for the fast bowler. 
Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action since the ICC World Cup 2023, recently made a comeback to cricket during the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 and also featured in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25. He picked 9 wickets in the T20 tournament and took his team to knockouts. 
It was expected that Mohammed Shami after that Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy would fly out to Australia but the fast bowler didn't go and was asked to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. But him being rested now raises quite a few eyebrows about his fitness with important games ahead. 
<h2>There have been some complaints about his knee - Mohammed Shami</h2>
The speculations about Mohammed Shami's injury got more intense when Rohit Sharma, after the Gabba Test, mentioned that the fast bowler had some issues with his knee. He had said: 
“I think it’s high time somebody from NCA talks about him, where he is rehabbing… Those guys are the ones who need to come up and give us some kind of update." 
“I understand he’s playing a lot of cricket back home, but there have been some complaints about his knee as well. We won’t take any risks unless we are 200% sure about his fitness." 
It remains to be seen when will Mohammed Shami make his comeback for India. There are fewer chances that he might play in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and he is now expected to make a comeback in the ODI series against England, followed by the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Fresh injury scare for Mohammed Shami? Pacer being rested for VHT game fuels rumours

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has proved to be the game-changer for his team in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, no doubt. But this time around, he has almost ended the International career of young Australian opener Nathan McSweeney, who made his debut in Perth. 
Nathan McSweeney, who has been a consistent performer in the Australian domestic circuit, became a bunny of Jasprit Bumrah in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler had his number each time they faced in the ongoing series. 
Jasprit Bumrah removed him 4 times in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and didn't let the batter score freely. He removed him twice in Perth, once in Adelaide and once in Gabba and put his team at the top right from the start. 
<h2>Sam Konstas replaces Nathan McSweeney in the Australian team </h2>
Amid his struggles against Jasprit Bumrah, Nathan McSweeney has been dropped from the Australia team for the last two squads of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In his place, the team has added Sam Konstas for the Melbourne and Sydney tests. 
As per the reports in Code Sports, it is learned that Sam Konstas will be playing the Melbourne Test. The batter will be making his debut for the team and would be keen to grab the opportunity with Nathan McSweeney now being dropped from the team for the last two games. 
On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah has been right on the money with his bowling in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler is the leading wicket-taker in the series and has been looking threatening with the ball so far in the three games that he has played. 
Jasprit Bumrah has picked 21 wickets in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The pacer has 7 wickets more than Mitchell Starc, who is the second-leading wicket-taker in the series. The India pacer would be looking to carry on his form and help his team win the last two games.

The Indian Cricket Team is preparing itself for a massive overhaul. Reports have emerged that more players are gonna follow suit after the retirement of Ravi Ashwin. Ashwin's unexpected decision of retiring came immediately after the Gabba Test-Match ended in a draw. There are indications which suggest that the Indian team management asked the off-spinner, who will ne turning 39 years old soon, to consider retiring and that's why the CSK spinner decided to hang up his Cricketing boots midway through the 2024 BGT series with two contests still remaining. 
Rumours say that Virat Kohli might retire from tests following the conclusion of the ongoing 2024 Border Gavaskar Trophy series but this claim has been completely rubbished by Kohli's childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma. He said that the former Indian skipper will carry on with Team India for the next five years. 
<blockquote>
"He (Virat) is a player who loves playing the sport of Cricket. He always gives his best for the Indian Team and excels in crucial situations. He can surely go on to score two more hundreds in the ongoing series versus the Australians and Fans will surely see Virat in the squad of Team India for 2027 ODI World Cup," Rajkumar said.
</blockquote>
Virat and skipper Rohit Sharma, who retired from T20 Internationals following the conclusion of the 2024 T20i World Cup, are struggling to play well in the BGT series. More senior players are anticipated to announce their retirements from the longest format of the game before the beginning of the Tour of England in June-July of next year. 
With the Men in Blue's next Test-Series set to take place in June of next year after the end of the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Rohit's performance with the bat in the remaining two Test-Matches versus the Aussies will play an important role in extending his career in the longest format of the game. 
Kohli on the other hand, has performed in a decent manner in Test Cricket in the last five years and despite going on to score a century in the Perth Test-Match, him getting dismissed constantly outside the off-stump, have seen criticisms from Indian fans and experts. There are also chances that the duo of Virat &amp; Rohit are likely to call time on their One Day International careers after the end of the 2025 Champions Trophy in February.

A massive update has been provided on Virat Kohli's future with the Indian Cricket Team by his childhood coach. Kohli has struggled to perform well with the bat in the longest format of the game since the last five years and many reports have emerged that he may retire from Test Cricket post the end of the 2024 BGT series.

India Cricket Team is all set to undergo a massive overhaul in Test cricket ahead of the next Test series in England in the coming summer of 2025. As per the reports in Cricbuzz, it is learned that Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement is the first one in the ongoing tour, and more are likely to follow. 
The India off-spinner, after the Test match against Australia, which was the third in the series at Brisbane, decided to retire. This decision surprised many because it came in the middle of the series; also, there have been reports that he was conveyed about the future of the team, and they are seeing him as the third-choice spinner after Sundar and Jadeja. 
The reports added that the BCCI is following the same template as they did in 2008. During that time, senior players retired in quick succession as they were conveyed by the BCCI that they wanted to set the stage for the transition. And it won't be a surprise if something similar follows this time too. 
If the reports are to be believed then it is likely that Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and  Ravindra Jadeja might be on the radar. There were earlier reports ahead of the BGT, which claimed that if the big four of the team failed to get going, they might be dropped. 
<h2>Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement might be the panic door for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja</h2>
Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement might be the panic door for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja. In the ongoing series, the two senior batters have come under massive scanner for their poor batting, and hence, something big might be on the way. 
The last two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be a massive game for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. If they fail to score, there might be a chance that they might not board flight to England for the tour. Also, with WTC Final place online, the two games will be more than just the games. 
The Australia tour over the years has gained a reputation for bringing cricketing careers to an end. Several stalwarts have faced the same over the years, and it won't be a surprise if something follows again.
