Shikhar Dhawan has become the talk of the town ever since he joined the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL. Formerly known as Kings XI Punjab, the team has never lifted the IPL trophy, despite reaching the Final of the IPL once. Shikhar?s team has given impressive performances over the years, as they have managed to keep the fans' hopes high, even after 14 years.



Punjab Kings introduced <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikhar_Dhawan">Shikhar Dhawan</a> as part of their squad in the Mega Auction of TATA IPL 2022.

As of IPL 2023, Shikhar and his squad performed much better than expected. They managed to seal their first two matches, though the second game was a thrilling knockout between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Shikhar has played the captain role exceptionally well. With rotating his bowlers in the overs and playing captain?s knock in every match, Shikhar has shown experience does matter when you are given the responsibility of a captain.

The 14th Match of TATA <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Premier_League">IPL </a>2023 saw a jaw-dropping knock which left people questioning the BCCI team selector?s choices.

Shikhar missed his well-deserved century but left the fans to give a hint of his past aggressive batting style. We hope Shikhar makes it back to the Indian team squad and makes incredible records!

IPL Points Table 2024: So many twists and turns before it settles down at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) with three runs remaining. Despite heroic efforts from Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, PBKS failed to get over the rope and got behind by a mere 3 runs in the final over of match 23 of the TATA IPL 2024. The win aids Pat Cummins-led SRH to maintain its fifth spot in the IPL Points Table 2024.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Table of Contents</h2><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#ipl-points-table-2024-updated">IPL Points Table 2024 Updated</a></div><div class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-most-runs">IPL 2024: Most Runs</a></div><div class=""><a href="#ipl-2024-most-wickets">IPL 2024: Most Wickets</a></div></div></nav></div>



Punjab Kings (PBKS) required 67 of the last four overs, which meant SRH were the favourites to win this contest. However, things tend to take a turn at this event. The two overs fetched them 28 runs and Punjab required 39 runs off the last 12 deliveries. T Natarajan delivered a brilliant 10-run over and the equation boiled down to 29 runs in the final six. 



The begin the big show, Ashutosh Sharma smoked the first delivery of the 20th over for a six, though, it was a dropped catch which landed directly over the rope. Jaydev Unadkat delivered the next two balls wide before his next legal delivery was again smacked down the ground by Ashutosh. Unfortunately, this was again a dropped chance, which parried over the boundary rope.



The SRH batters ran two doubles in the next two deliveries which was again followed by a wide ball. Now the equation was reduced to 10 runs in the last two deliveries. Ashutosh Sharma, now, put a ball in the deep mid-wicket region, which was again a chance for a catch but was put down by Rahul Tripathi. The batters took a single, and the game was done and dusted for PBKS.



Though Shashank Singh hit a massive six down the ground in the final ball of the innings, it wasn't enough to fetch them nine runs. PBKS lost the game by 3 runs against SRH.



Earlier in the innings, SRH scored 182 runs in their quota of 20 overs. Despite not starting off well, SRH managed to put up a big total. Young batter Nitish Reddy contributed with a brilliant 37-ball 64-run knock followed by a couple of handy innings by Abdul Samad and Shahbaz Ahmed.



For PBKS, Shashank Singh made the biggest contribution as he remained unbeaten at 46 runs in 25 deliveries. The next best for Ashutosh Sharma, who scored 33 in 15 deliveries. 



Though there isn't any change in the IPL Points Table 2024 ranking, this defeat would hurt the Punjab Kings. They were nowhere in contention, but the two young batters took the onus to turn the tables in the last four overs.



Let's take a look at IPL Points Table 2024 Updated [April 10], Most Runs, Most Wickets by a player after PBKS vs SRH | IPL 2024 Points Table.

SRH's win didn't make any changes in the IPL Points Table 2024, however, the orange army now firmly holds the fifth spot with three wins in five matches. On the other side, PBKS remains in the sixth spot with just two wins in five outings. They have a negative net run rate of 0.196.



The IPL Points Table 2024 is led by Rajasthan Royals with 4 wins in as many matches. They are the only unbeaten side currently in the tournament. Rajasthan is followed by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who suffered a defeat against CSK recently, with three wins, and Lucknow Super Giants with three wins.



The bottom two positions are occupied by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Both the sides have just one win each after playing out five matches in the IPL 2024.

IPL Points Table 2024 Updated [April 10], Most Runs, Most Wickets by a player after PBKS vs SRH | IPL 2024 Points Table

ipl-points-table-2024-updated-april-10-most-runs-most-wickets-by-a-player-after-pbks-vs-srh-ipl-2024-points-table

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. The highly awaited Pakistan vs India clash is scheduled to be played on 23rd of February in 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.
