In what proved to be a really exciting and thrilling encounter, IPL 2008 winners Rajasthan Royals took on five-time winners Mumbai Indians in the 14th match of IPL 2024. This match was Mumbai?s first game at Mumbai at their home ground Wankhede Stadium but they failed to live up to the expectations of the fans as the Hardik Pandya led team were handed their third consecutive defeat in IPL 2024 by six wickets by Rajasthan Royals.



RR skipper Sanju Samson won the toss and immediately asked the home team to bat first and the Mumbai Indians batting unit was completely destroyed by the duo of Trent Boult and Nandre Burger. A lot of seam and swing was available on the surface and the duo took full advantage of the conditions as they just outsmarted the Mi batting unit with their variations. Trent Boult (3-22) dismissed MI?s former skipper Rohit Sharma for a first ball duck on the fifth delivery of the first over and immediately after the dismissal of Rohit, Naman Dhir got out for a golden duck as well as Trent Boult caught Dhir plumb in front of the wickets. He didn't stop there as on the second ball of the second overs of the match, the former MI Speedster got the better of impact player Dewald Brevis and he got out for a first ball duck as well.



Opener Ishan Kishan (16 runs in 14 balls) tried to attack the RR pacers and punished every ball which came in his preferred slot but he was getting troubled by the variations of Proteas Seamer Nandre Burger (2-32)and eventually Kishan perished to Burger as he nicked one behind off his bowling.

Skipper Hardik Pandya (34 runs in 21 balls) walked out to stabilize things for MI and got involved in a partnership with Tilkar Verma (32 runs in 29 balls) but Samson was quick to react to it as he introduced the spin duo of Yuzi Chahal (3-11) and Ravichandran Ashwin into the attack in-order to counter the threat of the MI duo of Hardik and Tilak and Yuzi provided the breakthrough as he sent Hardik back to the pavilion.



Piyush Chawla got a promotion over Tim David but Avesh Khan got the better of him. Aussie batter Tim David tried to play out the middle overs and he did as well but he wasn't able to capitalize on the death overs as MI were restricted to a poor total of 125 runs in their 20 overs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/IPL-2024-Akash-Madhwal-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128963" /></figure>



The Mumbai Indians bowling unit, especially Akash Madhwal, tried their best to pull off a miracle against RR but the target of 126 runs proved to be too less. The visitors faced some issues against the resilience of the Mumbai bowling unit but a partnership was all RR needed to reach home and that was exactly what Riyan Parag do as he stitched a partnership with Ashwin and guided the Royals in a safe spot and then alongside impact player Shubham Dubey, Parag led the men&nbsp;in&nbsp;pink&nbsp;home.

Latest Points Table IPL 2024 after MI vs RR Updated [2 April], RR defeats MI, Updated Team Ranking IPL 2024

latest-points-table-ipl-2024-after-mi-vs-rr-updated-2-april-rr-defeats-mi-updated-team-ranking-ipl-2024

IPL 2024 Updated Points Table: In what promised to be a really exciting and fascinating encounter, Shubman Gill led Gujarat Titans took on Shikhar Dhawan?s Punjabi Munde of Punjab Kings in match number 17 of the Tata Indian Premier League 2024. This was the second home game of the IPL 2022 winners and they failed to defend a total of 199 runs as the the IPL 2024 runners up Punjab Kings defeated GT by three wickets.



Shikhar Dhawan asked the Gujarat Titans to bat first and Gujarat took full advantage of the batting conditions on offer as the opening duo of Wriddhiman Saha (11 runs 13 balls) and Shubman Gill (89 runs in 48 balls) started things off nicely for GT. Saha though didn't look comfortable in the middle and started very slowly and in the process of accelerating his inning, he lost his wicket to Kagiso Rabada. Gill though on the other end showed his class as he scored a flurry of boundaries in the first six overs of the match.



Gill stitched some useful partnerships with the likes of Kane Williamson and Sai Sudharsan. Williamson (26 runs in 22 balls) played a decent knock for someone who came out to bat in the IPL after one year. Sai Sudharsan (33 runs in 19 balls) played an aggressive inning of 30+ runs but he was sent back to the pavilion by the short pitched delivery of Harshal Patel.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Gujarat-Titans.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-132554" /></figure>



Skipper Shubman Gill continued his assault from one end but he didn't receive any kind of support from the other end as Vijay Shankar (8 runs in 10 balls) fell prey to the fabulous bowling of Rabada.



Much to the delight of the Ahmedabad crowd, out came Rahul Tewatia to the crease and played a couple of good shots which helped to ease the pressure of Shubman on the other end. The two helped the home side put a challenging total of 199 runs on the board in their quota of 20 overs.



The Punjab Bowlers didn't have a good night with the ball and gave way too many runs against the GT batting unit. Kagiso Rabada (2-44) was the best bowler for PBKW while Harpreet Brar (1-33) and Harshal Patel (1-44) took one wicket each.



Talking about the batting inning of PBKS, they didn't have a good start as skipper Shikhar Dhawan (1 run in 2 balls) got cleaned up by the experienced Shikhar Dhawan on the very first ball of his first over. But, the duo of Jonny Bairstow (22 runs in 13 balls) and Prabhsimran Singh (35 runs in 24 balls) stabilized things for the Punjab based side with their partnership of 35 runs in 24 balls for the third wicket. However, Chinaman bowler Noor Ahmed spoiled the party of Punjab as he cleaned up Bairstow with a peach of a delivery.



Sam Curran (5 runs in 8 balls) came out to bat at number four but failed to live up to the expectations of the fans as he got dismissed by some superb piece of bowling by Omarzai.



Sikandar Raza, playing his first game of the season didn't get going and was able to score just 15 runs in 16 balls and eventually he gave away his wicket to IPL 2024 Purple Cap holder Mohit Sharma.

Jitesh Sharma (16 runs in 8 balls) and Shashank Singh (61 runs in 29 balls) stabilized things for the Kings as they stitched a partnership of 39 runs in 19 balls for the sixth wicket. This partnership helped the visitors to stay in the game. The mighty Rashid Khan had some other plans as he sent Jitesh Back to&nbsp;the&nbsp;pavilion.

IPL Points Table (Updated) On 28 April, RCB still alive in the tournament. RCB beat GT by seven wickets

ipl-points-table-updated-on-28-april-rcb-still-alive-in-the-tournament-rcb-beat-gt-by-seven-wickets

IPL Points Table (Updated) on May 4: In what proved to be a really fascinating and exciting game, Kolkata Knight Riders under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer defeated fierce rivals Mumbai Indians in the 51st game of the Tata Indian Premier League 2024. Despite suffering a batting collapse, Kolkata Knight Riders managed to hold on till the end and their superb bowling efforts helped them defeat the joint most successful team of IPL by 24 runs. This was a really special win for the Knight Riders as they defeated the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede for the first time since IPL 2012.



Having being asked to bat first by MI skipper Hardik Pandya, the Shreyas Iyer led team were anticipated to start things off in their usual aggressive fashion thanks to the incredible form of the opening duo of Phil Salt (5 runs in 3 balls) and Sunil Narine (8 runs in 8 balls) but things didn't go according to plan for the visitors as Salt and Narine got dismissed early on in the powerplay, courtesy of some really good display of hard length deliveries and swing bowling from Nuwan Thushara (3-42) and Hardik Pandya (2-44). Angkrish Raghuvanshi showed some retaliation with his quickfire knock of 13 runs in six balls but he too fell prey to the outstanding bowling of Thushara.



Shreyas Iyer walked out to bat at number four and KKR fans were hoping that he would stabilize things for them but the brilliance of Nuwan Thushara sent him back to the pavilion as well. Venkatesh Iyer (70 runs in 52 balls) kept control of one end and post the dismissal of Iyer, Rinku came to bat at number five as the Kolkata based team were struggling at 43-4 in 4.2 overs. But immediately after the end of the powerplay, Rinku too got caught and bowled by the brilliance of Piyu Chawla and Singh had to go back for just nine runs.



The fans were losing hopes as the visitors were struggling at 60-5 in seven overs but the Kolkata management took the decision of introducing Manish Pandey as the impact substitute and his innings of 42 runs in 31 deliveries helped to stabilize the sinking ship of the two winners alongside Venky Iyer.



Iyer batted at a decent strike rate and his partnership with Manish for the sixth wicket helped the Knight Riders maintain a steady run rate but Hardik Pandya broke their partnership by dismissing Pandey in the 17th over.



Andre Russell walked in to bat in the 17 over with the hopes of applying the finishing touches and even hit a maximum on his first ball off the bowling of Pandya but an unnecessary runout with Venkatesh Iyer proved to be the final blow to the Kolkata based team. Jasprit Bumrah (3-18) who had two overs left for the death overs finished things off for the Shreyas Iyer led team as they got all out for 169 runs, a total which looked at least 30 runs short, despite the pitch providing a lot of assistance&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;batters.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/IPL-2024-Mumbai-Indians.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-133733" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pic: ipl20.com</figcaption></figure>



The Hardik Pandya led team looked pretty confident to chase down the total of 170 runs with ease and the duo of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan started things off slowly but Mitchell Starc's brilliance sent Ishan back to the dugout with a peach of a delivery. Naman Dhir came to bat at number three and played a quick cameo of 11 runs but Varun Chakaravarthy cleaned him up on the first ball of the fourth over. Things started to look difficult for the home team after suffering two dismissals in the powerplay and the Mumbai crowd was hoping that they would get to witness a Rohit special today but to their disappointment, Sunil Narine, just like he always does, got the better of Rohit on the last ball of the sixth over.



Tilak Verma had a rare off day as well and his dismissal made things even more difficult for Mumbai. Surya Kumar Yadav took command of one end and absorbed majority of the pressure but Hardik Pandya on the other end got dismissed as well. Tim David built a short partnership with SKY and allowed the world's number one T20i batter to shift gears as he completed his third fifty of the season as well. SKY and David brought Mumbai back in the game but Surya's dismissal changed the momentum and David with his cameo of 24 runs wasn't able to help MI get over the line and eventually they lost the game?by?24?runs.

IPL Points Table (Updated) on May 4: Mumbai Indians are out of IPL 2024 Playoffs

ipl-points-table-updated-on-may-4-mumbai-indians-are-out-of-ipl-2024-playoffs

On Monday, May 13 the Kolkata Knight Riders secured their position in the top two spots of the 2024 Indian Premier League overall standings after their match against the Gujarat Titans was washed out&nbsp;due&nbsp;to&nbsp;rain.



GT and KKR were slated to lock horns against each other at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium tonight but the game was called off without a ball being balled due to constant rainfall. The Home side were supposed to play this match in their Lavender coloured jersey in a bid to keep their playoff hopes alive but the Rain Gods had some other ideas. The match getting washed out means the Gujarat Titans became the third IPL team after Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians to get eliminated&nbsp;from&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;2024



"In a clash which was going to be a highly anticipated one, the match between the Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders was unfortunately called off due to constant rainfall, which means both the sides will be sharing the points between each other," IPL said in their official statement.



GT currently has 11 points next to their name and they can only get to 13 points if they manage to win their final IPL 2024 encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad.



Following the washout, the top two teams at the top of the table reamin unchanged. Five time winners Chennai Super Kings moved to the third position after defeating the Rajasthan Royals easily on Sunday.



Having started their IPL 2024 campaign in a dominant fashion, IPL 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad are yet to secure their qualification for playoffs as they are currently sitting at the fourth spot in the points table with 14 points as - well.



On the other hand, the fifth, sixth and the seventh positions in the overall standings are occupied by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants respectively, with 12 points - each.

The 38-year-old Indian spinner, known for his sharp cricketing mind and mastery over the ball, recently opened up about his unexpected decision to retire mid-series during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
“For me, what matters is playing with honesty and passion. I don’t need a farewell game. The happiness and experiences the game has given me are more than enough,” said Ravichandran Ashwin, addressing his retirement from international cricket. 
Ashwin's announcement, made after the third Test in Brisbane, sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. Fans and pundits were taken aback by the abruptness of the decision, especially since he had been a key figure in Indian cricket for over a decade.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67871d1bda113.jpg" alt="">
However, Ashwin made it clear that the decision was instinctive, coming from a place of self-awareness rather than external pressures. He revealed on his YouTube channel, “When you know your time is up, there’s no point in dragging it further. My creativity on the field felt like it had run its course.”
Reflecting on the events leading to his retirement, Ashwin explained how his fluctuating role in the team influenced his decision. “You think what happened? I did not play the first Test. I played the second but did not play the third. It was possible I could play the next or not play the next. This is a side of my creativity and I was looking to explore it. At that time, I felt my creativity was over, so it was over. It was simple” he said. The Tamil Nadu cricketer, who has always been known for his articulate thoughts, emphasized that his retirement was not about controversies or conflicts but about moving forward when he felt ready.
The idea of a farewell game, often seen as a ceremonial way to honor a cricketer’s career, was something Ashwin dismissed outright. “Imagine if I want to play a farewell Test but I do not deserve a place. Imagine, I am only in the team because it is my farewell Test. I don't want that,” he remarked. He elaborated that the essence of cricket lies in the joy it brings, not in grand exits or extended applause.
Ashwin's humility and grounded approach to the sport shone through as he said, “The game has given me so much already; I have no complaints.”
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67871d1871c43.jpg" alt="">
Ashwin also touched upon his aspirations post-retirement. While he left the Indian dressing room, he hinted at continuing his cricketing journey elsewhere. “I still have cricket left in me, but it’s about finding the right space to explore it. For now, I’m happy to leave when people are asking ‘why’ instead of ‘why not,’” he said with a smile.
As one of India’s finest off-spinners, Ashwin's legacy is monumental. With 537 Test wickets in 106 matches and a combined total of 765 international wickets, he stands as one of the country’s greatest bowlers. Only Anil Kumble has more wickets for India. Beyond numbers, his ability to outthink batters and adapt to different conditions made him a game-changer on the field.
While his departure may seem sudden, it is quintessential Ashwin—methodical, introspective, and unafraid to take bold steps. As fans come to terms with his decision, one thing is clear: Ravichandran Ashwin’s contribution to Indian cricket will remain etched in history, not for how it ended, but for how it unfolded with brilliance and integrity.

Ravichandran Ashwin retired mid-series during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, citing self-awareness. Rejecting a farewell game, he emphasized cricket's joy over ceremonial exits, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy in Indian cricket.

Ashwin's instinctive retirement highlights humility and self-awareness, valuing cricket's joy and legacy over traditional farewell gestures. A remarkable journey concludes.

In what will be disappointing news for the Sanju Samson fans, the keeper-batter is unlikely to cut into the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in PTI, it is learned that the Kerala batter is unlikely to be part of the ODI setup for India. 
There were reports earlier that suggested that Sanju Samson would be the second-choice keeper in the team, with Rishabh Pant being the first-choice keeper. However, that won't be the case, as even after KL Rahul was touted to play as a specialist batter, Samson won't be part of the squad. 
As per the reports, it is learned Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and Dhruv Jurel are the three players who are fighting for the place of second keeper for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. However, it is learned that Jurel is expected to get the preference in the team along with Rishabh Pant. 
<h2>BCCI has decided that they will be backing Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel as two keepers in Test and ODI </h2>
The reports claimed that BCCI has decided that they will be backing Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel as two keepers in Test and ODI setup. While Sanju Samson, who hit three centuries in T20Is in 2024, will be the first-choice keeper in the shortest format of the game. 
Dhruv Jurel hasn't made his debut for India in the ODIs. But has performed exceptionally well in Tests. The keeper-batter has shown great maturity in the longest format of the game, which impressed the selectors as they decided to give a long rope. 
Dhruv Jurel also has been named in the Indian squad for the T20I series against England. With Sanju Samson being the first-choice keeper, it is likely that Jurel will get a chance in the XI for the five-match series. He has played two games in the shortest format of the game. 
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be announcing the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on 19th January. Rohit Sharma is set to lead the team, and it will be a massive opportunity for the team to make a comeback after having a horrendous outing in Test cricket of late.

England's Bilateral tour of India is set to commence with the five-match T20 International series which is slated to start from the 22nd of January onwards. The Three Lions have also unveiled their squad for this upcoming tour of India and now they are preparing to travel to India but before this, one player of England's team is facing certain issues. 
It has been learned that he has not received his Indian visa yet, due to which the picture regarding him travelling with the English team to India is not clear yet. We are talking about Saqib Mahmoud, a fantastic fast bowler of the Three Lions. 
<h2>England have set up their training camp in Abu Dhabi</h2>
Whenever the 2019 World Cup winners travel to India for a bilateral series assignment, they first set up a training camp in Abu Dhabi. This time around too, the situation is the same. A news report of ESPNCricinfo has revealed that Saqib may not be a part of the Abu Dhabi training camp till his visa issues get sorted out. 
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) are hopeful that the 27-year-old speedster receives his visa before the commencement of the T20 International series on the 22nd of January.
<h2>Due to his Pakistani origin, the visa approval is getting delayed</h2>
It's believes that the main reason behind the delay in the visa approval of 27-year-old Saqib Mahmood is his Pakistani origin. In the past too, English players who have a Pakistani origin have encountered such issues. Last year, when the Three Lions came to India for the Test-Series, spinner Shoaib Bashir also faced issues related to his Indian visa. 
Due to this, he missed the opening Test-Match in Hyderabad but after sorting out the problems, he played in the remaining matches of the series. 
<h2>The case of Rehan Ahmed &amp; Adil Rashid is clear</h2>
Although the ECB has not commented on this entire matter, the board still hopes that Saqib will land on Indian soil before the start of the first T20I between the Suryakumar Yadav-led team and England. The squad announced by the ECB consists of two more players who have Pakistani origin and they are, Rehan Ahmed &amp; Adil Rashid. 
Adil Rashid has played a lot of matches on Indian soil so his visa was never an issue while Rehan also played the Test-Series in India last year so his case is pretty clear too.
<h2>This is how Saqib's International career has been so far</h2>
27-year-old Saqib Mahmood is not only included in the T20I series team, he has also been given a chance in the ODI team. He will also go to Pakistan and play the Champions Trophy matches for England . If we talk about his career so far, Saqib has played 18 T20 International matches for England and has dismissed 18 batters in this format so far. At the same time, he also has 14 scalps next to his name by featuring in nine One-Day International contests.

Indian Cricket Team's skipper and T20 World Cup winning captain Rohit Sharma is anticipated to travel to Pakistan in the month of February ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 tournament, as per the news reports of Indian Media
If the reports are to be believed, this visit would be historical moment in the world of Cricket, making it one of the rarest occasions where an Indian player has travelled to the country of their arch-rivals for an International Cricket event in recent years. 
The visit to Pakistan is apparently planned for a photo shoot of all-captains with the trophy of the marquee event and ICC organized press conference. During this event, the skippers of all the participating sides will share their views and expectations for the upcoming competition. 
Indian Cricket's governing body, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not given any official confirmation regarding the visit of Rohit. Additionally, the Men in Blue have not announced their squad for the forthcoming Champions Trophy event yet 
Currently, the Rohit Sharma-led team is focused on their white-ball bilateral series assignment versus England, where they will be taking part in five T20 International matches and three One-Day International contests ahead of the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy.
<h2>Group Stages  </h2>
All of the participating nations are divided into 2-groups of 4 teams each:  
- Group A: India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh  
- Group B: England, Afghanistan, South Africa &amp; Australia
Tournament hosts Pakistan will be playing in the opening contest of the Champions Trophy versus the Mitchell Santner-led New Zealand on the 19th of February in the city of Karachi. Team India on the other hand, will kick off their Champions Trophy campaign versus Asian-Rivals Bangladesh on the 20th of February in the city of Dubai.

Things are not going right for the Indian team currently. Apart from the poor performances on the field, there have been rumours of a rift between the players, head coach Gautam Gambhir as well and the chairman of the selection committee, Ajit Agarkar. 
Of late, there have been reports that claimed that Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar have been involved in various tussles over the selection. The head coach wants to be involved in the selection matters and wants BCCI to allow him players of choice. 
Gautam Gambhir also had a massive say in the team selection for the Australia tour. The head coach played a huge part in the selection of Nitish Kumar Reddy as well as Harshit Rana. He also selected the playing XI without much consultation during the tour, following which he has come under massive scanner. 
The chairman of the selection committee, Ajit Agarkar, on the other hand, reportedly doesn't want any interference. And this has led to a rift between the two. This surely has reflected on the team's performance which has been underwhelming in Tests and ODIs.
<h2>It’s a completely wrong statement; there is no rift between the chairman of selection (Ajit Agarkar) and the coach - BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla</h2>
Amid all the rumours, BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla rubbishef off all the reports. He said that there is no rift between Ajit Agarkar, Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma. As quoted by PTI, he explained: 
“It’s a completely wrong statement; there is no rift between the chairman of selection (Ajit Agarkar) and the coach; there is no rift between captain and coach. This is all rubbish which is being spread in a section of media."
Rajiv Shukla also confirmed that Rohit Sharma will continue as the skipper and all the statements have been going wrong. He said that form is temporary and they are confident that he will be back. 
“This is also wrong that Rohit has insisted on captaincy. He is the captain. Form or lack of form is part and parcel of the game. These are phases, nothing new. When he saw he was out of form, he dropped himself from the fifth Test." 
Rohit Sharma has been going through a rough patch, but the batter has been training with the Mumbai Ranji Team. He will be next seen in action for India in the England ODI series.
