ipl-2024-points-table-rcb-got-its-sixth-defeat-of-the-season

<p><strong>(14 April) IPL Points Table 2024:</strong> A dominating performance by KKR against LSG helped them to register an 8-wicket win in the crucial game. Eden Gardens in Kolkata witnessed Starc's ruthless bowling, stellar innings from Salt and a near-perfect team game from the home side to register their first win against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="kkr-vs-lsg-match-review"><strong>KKR vs LSG Match Review</strong></h2>



<p>Winning the toss, the home side opted to bowl first and the bowlers didn't disappoint Iyer. LSG lost two wickets in the powerplay which again put a lot of burden on the skipper and the middle order. However, KL Rahul and Ayush Badoni handled the situation very well finishing touch from Nicholas Pooran helped Lucknow reach a respectable 161. Starc was the hero for KKR with the ball who picked up 3 wickets in his spell of 4 overs.</p>

<p>A target of 162 for a home team that is taking on every team this season was not going to be a hurdle. Mohsin Khan attempted to pour some flavors on the game by picking two wickets early in the powerplay but Phill Salt took each Lucknow bowler on remand. </p>



<p>Shreyas Iyer played the second fiddle and scored a run-a-ball 38 while Salt took all the limelight with an explosive 89 off just 47 balls. With a four in the fourth ball of the sixteenth over, Kolkata Knight Riders registered their first win against Lucknow Super Giants in the history of IPL.</p>

IPL Points Table 2024 (Updated), Orange Cap, Purple Cap Full Lists After KKR vs LSG

ipl-points-table-2024-updated-orange-cap-purple-cap-full-lists-after-kkr-vs-lsg

<p><strong><strong>(22 April) IPL?<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/odi/icc-cwc/points-table/">Points Table</a>?2024:</strong></strong> That was just a robbery of what the KKR had done to the RCB in the first game of the day. While a match where GT would have won easily, it took a lot of hard work from them to round off the night match. Here is the updated IPL Points Table and IPL Stats (Orange Cap and Purple Cap) After GT vs PBKS.</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="#ipl-points-table-2024-updated">IPL Points Table 2024 (Updated)</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-most-runs-orange-cap">IPL 2024 Most Runs (Orange Cap)</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-most-wickets-purple-cap">IPL 2024 Most Wickets (Purple Cap)</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>We are halfway through the Indian Premier League 2024 and this season has already produced several records that are never going to be touched in any franchise league. </p>



<p>KKR and RCB were up against each other in match number 36 of TATA IPL 2024 where the home team KKR dominated RCB in each sector of the game. Batting first, they posted a mammoth 223-run target and did their best when got the ball in their hands.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/379584-1.jpg" alt="IPL Points Table 2024 (Updated), Orange Cap, Purple Cap Full Lists After KKR vs RCB" class="wp-image-133214" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">KKR vs RCB, Match no. 36 (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



<p>RCB were good until Rajat Patidar and Will Jacks were in the crease but excellent spells from Russell and Narine turned the stage in favor of KKR. Karn Sharma gave it all in the last over but it went in vain and KKR won the match by 1 run.</p>



<p>With this win, KKR have moved up to the second spot with 5 wins in 7 matches. They possess a Net run rate of +1.206 which is the best of all the teams. RCB, on the other hand, are still at the bottom of the table and they are almost out of the race for playoffs.</p>



<p>The second match saw Punjab bat first and get off to a quick start due to Prabhsimran's onslaught in the powerplay, but the middle overs were dominated by the trio of GT spinners, who finished with a combined bowling record of 7/68.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/PBKSvsGT-1024x684.jpg" alt="IPL Points Table 2024 Updated [April 22], Most Runs, Most Wickets by a player after PBKS vs GT| Full IPL 2024 Points Table" class="wp-image-133230" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



<p>Chasing 143, GT lost Saha in the start but Gill and Sai restored the GT innings. PBKS were able to pick up regular wickets in the middle overs and with a quick 36 from Rahul Tewatia, GT chased down the target in the 19 overs.</p>



<p>GT have jumped to 6th spot in the IPL Points Table leaving MI and DC behind. Rajasthan Royals are way over all the other franchises in this season of TATA IPL. They have played 7 matches and have won as many as six out of those. They are simply the best team in this IPL till now with 12 points and an NRR of +0.677 and are on the top of the IPL Points Table.</p>

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders do have equal points but KKR have a better NRR, hence SRH are ranked third in the updated IPL Points Table. CSK and LSG are ranked 4th and 5th respectively in IPL Points Table as both have won 4 out of 7 games and CSK got a better NRR of +0.529.</p>

IPL Points Table 2024 (Updated), Orange Cap, Purple Cap Full Lists After GT vs PBKS

ipl-points-table-2024-updated-orange-cap-purple-cap-full-lists-after-kkr-vs-rcb

<p>Just three months are left for the start of The 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) and many teams are still searching for their new captains. Three time runners-up Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is one of them and they had taken the big call of releasing their skipper Faf Du Plessis ahead of the Mega-Auction. </p>
<p>They didn't even buy him in the auction and this means that they are in search of a new captain. A captain who can potentially help them win their maiden IPL Trophy. </p>
<p>Ahead of the upcoming IPL season, a new update has come out regarding the next captain of the franchise. According to some news reports, hard hitting Indian batter Rajat Patidar is likely to become the next skipper of the Bengaluru based team. Before this update, some rumours were suggesting that the RCB team management want Virat Kohli to lead the team again but the franchise has not given any official update yet regarding the same. </p>
<h2><strong>Patidar was captaining this team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy tournament</strong></h2>
<p>Rajat Patidar was recently seen leading the team of Madhya Pradesh (MP) in India's Domestic T20 league, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He led his team in a fantastic way and helped them reach the final of the tournament. However, he wasn't able to help MP lift the trophy. </p>
<p>In the previous edition of the SMAT, the 31-year-old performed in a brilliant manner with the bat, scoring three quickfire fifties. He's in good form at present and he will be expected to once again show his aggressive batting nature in the IPL and possibly help RCB lift their maiden IPL Trophy. </p>
<p>Ahead of the Mega-Auction, a lot of websites were claiming that Kohli will be seen donning the captain's hat once again for Bengaluru but since no action has been taken by the franchise, a new rumour is being spread that Patidar will become the new skipper of the franchise. It will be interesting to see who ends up becoming the next captain of the three-time runner's up in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).</p>

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have still not announced their new skipper yet for IPL 2025 and as the tournament approaches closer and closer, the franchise will have to act on a quick note

IPL: This player might become the new captain of RCB, was seen captaining in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy

<p>After the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, the focus of the cricket world will shift to the ICC Champions Trophy. India had a horrible last few months, where they lost a home series to New Zealand and now lost the BGT trophy as well.</p>
<p>Hence, India can erase all the bad memories by winning the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. But most of the Indian players are not in good form, which will be a big headache for the management. That can be one reason that we might see some surprise pick in the Indian squad.</p>
<p>India's premier ODI tournament, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, is underway, where some brilliant performances have been recorded until now. Hence, we might see some inclusions on the basis of that form. Below, we will talk about three potential names that can make it into the Indian squad after doing well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.</p>
<h2>Three players who can join the ICC Champions Trophy squad on their good performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25</h2>
<p><strong>3. Varun Chakravarthy</strong></p>
<p>India will play their matches in Dubai, where spinners do pretty well. Kuldeep Yadav is not completely fit, and India will need some mystery in their spin. That's where they can add Varun Chakravarthy. The 33-year-old recently made his comeback in T20Is after doing well in the IPL.</p>
<p>Since his return, he has taken 17 wickets in seven T20Is. Even in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, he is doing pretty well. Varun has taken 13 wickets in five games at an economy rate of 4.05. Hence, if India don't have the option of Kuldeep, they can look for Varun with his mystery spin.</p>
<p><strong>2. Arshdeep Singh</strong></p>
<p>There is news that India might add Arshdeep Singh to the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The left-arm pacer is India's premier bowler in the T20I format but has played only 8 ODIs since his debut in November 22. But he has been performing pretty well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.</p>
<p>Arshdeep has taken more wickets in the tournament so far. He has 17 wickets in just six games with two four-wicket hauls and one fifer. He can swing the ball and also bowl in the final overs. There is already concern over the availability of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami. That's why Arshdeep can be a perfect guy for the team.</p>
<p><strong>1. Abhishek Sharma</strong></p>
<p>The Punjab opener Abhishek Sharma has been on fire in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The left-handed opener, who is part of India's T20I setup, is known for his aggressive skills and has capitalized on them in the ongoing tournament.</p>
<p>He has scored 448 runs in seven innings at an average of 64 and an incredible strike rate of 130.99. He is also a pretty handy spinner and can be useful in the UAE. India can look at him as a possible backup opener and add him into the squad.</p>

India will play their first game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on February 20 against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

3 Surprise players who can be picked for India's Champions Trophy 2025 squad after doing well in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25

<p><span>India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah's fitness is one of the trending topics in Indian cricket. The speedster experienced back spasms during the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>After bowling just 10 overs in the first innings in Sydney, Jasprit Bumrah walked off the field and underwent scans. He didn't take the field again as India was without their captain in the last innings of the match. This no doubt cost India but also sent a sense of scare among the Indian fans.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Jasprit Bumrah didn't look in great shape either, and now his fitness has raised massive concerns over his availability for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because there is no clarity over the seriousness of the injury that the premier fast bowler has faced in his back during the match.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>As per the reports in Sports Tak, it is learned that Jasprit Bumrah will be consulting a personal doctor as well along with the BCCI medical team. The fast bowler will be having a chat with the doctor in New Zealand who operated on him during the back surgery he faced in 2022.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"></span></span></p>
<p><span>It is learned once Jasprit Bumrah meets that doctor, there will be a lot of clarity over his injury. It will be the doctor only who will be deciding what the fast bowler has to do to return to action. This raises a lot of concern over his fitness, especially with big events like the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<h2><span><span class="Apple-converted-space">Jasprit Bumrah is all set to be rested for the three-match ODI series against England.</span></span></h2>
<p><span>Bumrah is all set to be rested for the three-match ODI series against England. This is because BCCI wanted the fast bowler to be fit and be at 100% for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. If the pacer remains unfit for the tournament, it will turn out to be a big blow for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>The pain in the back for Jasprit Bumrah arises due to his workload in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler bowled 151 overs in the five games and picked 32 wickets. He gave his best for the side but ended up on the wrong side of the result. However, more than that his fitness was the main concern.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Bumrah is very unlikely to play any T20I game this year, meaning that he won't be part of the T20I series against England. Another section of the reports added that he might play one ODI against Three Lions to get into the rhythm for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.</span></p>

<p><span>India spinner Varun Chakravarthy is in contention to be picked in the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that the BCCI has asked the selectors to keep an eye on the Kolkata Knight Riders spinner.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Varun Chakravarthy has impressed the selectors and the BCCI with the way he made his comeback in the Indian setup after the IPL 2024. The mystery spinner set the stage on fire with the ball in the T20Is against Bangladesh as well as South Africa.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>In both series, Varun Chakravarthy turned out to be the game-changer for India. The mystery spinner helped India win both the series and was the key performer for the team. He was applauded a lot by fans and pundits for the way he made a comeback to India.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The BCCI reportedly has told one of the selectors to watch the fitness, moments and progress of Varun Chakravarthy, who is playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The India spinner has been shining with the ball in the domestic tournament, making his case strong for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Varun Chakravarthy is making strong performances for Tamil Nadu in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. The spinner has taken 13 wickets at an average of 13.62 in the tournament so far, and with the way he is going strong, he surely would've taken the interest of selectors.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<h2><span><span class="Apple-converted-space">The Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced next week</span></span></h2>
<p><span>The Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced next week. Before the tournament, India will be taking on England in the three-match ODI series. There are chances that Varun might be picked for that series.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>The mystery spinner is yet to make his debut for India in the ODIs. But with the kind of form he is going through, there are high chances that he might be picked in the England series and might even play in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.</span></p>

<p>Jasprit Bumrah has become the biggest match-winner for Team India across all three formats. He has been at the peak of his skills, and he has taken the graph of his performance to a whole new level. After winning the Man of the Tournament award in India's successful campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024, he recently ended as the top wicket-taker for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.</p>
<p>Bumrah ended with a record 32 wickets in five tests at an exceptional average of 13.06. But his performance went in vain as Australia won the series 3-1, and Australia regained the BGT trophy. Bumrah sustained a back spasm and didn't bowl in the second innings. That has raised concern in the Indian camp. There is no official update on his injury, and India might look to give them a proper rest.</p>
<p>But the biggest question is on his availability in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The upcoming event will start in five weeks time on February 19, and Jasprit Bumrah will be India's key man. India can't afford to miss him. But with his career on the line, India won't take a risk to hurry him. So, who will be the bowlers who can replace him for India, if he gets ruled out?</p>
<h2>Three bowlers whom India can pick as Jasprit Bumrah's replacement if he gets ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
<p><strong>1. Arshdeep Singh</strong></p>
<p>Arshdeep Singh has become India's go-to bowler in the T20I format, and he took the most wickets in the T20 World Cup 2024. He played a crucial role along with Bumrah in India's triumph. But since his ODI debut in November 2022, he has played only 8 ODIs. But with the way he is going, India will certainly want to cash in on his form and bring the freshness of his left-arm swing to the table for the coming event.</p>
<p><strong>2. Prasidh Krishna</strong></p>
<p>Prasidh Krishna is another good option to have. He played in the fifth and final test at the SCG and took six wickets in the match. He has good pace, and his tall figure helps him to get bounce from the surface. India will play their matches in Dubai, where you want a bowler like him that can bounce the batter out. Krishna has an incredible ODI record as well. He has played 17 matches and taken 29 wickets at an average of 25.28. He can also be a good replacement for Jasprit Bumrah.</p>
<p><strong>3. Mayank Yadav</strong></p>
<p>India have three group matches, and then there are two more if they qualify for the finals. That means there can be a maximum of five games with proper rest in between the games. That is where India can unleash the raw pace of Mayank Yadav. The 22-year-old superstar made his name in the IPL 2025 for his sheer pace, which earned him his T20I debut. He has four wickets in three T20Is for India. Though he has not played an ODI game for India, he can be a great asset for the side. He can add his extra pace to the bowling unit of India, which will add new dimensions to the Indian attack.</p>

Jasprit Bumrah didn't bowl in the final innings of the fifth test at SCG due to a back spasm. He is likely to miss the England series as well.
