Former South African cricketer <a style="color: #169179;" title="click here" href="../../player/ab-de-villiers/44936" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AB de Villiers</a> has asked former New Zealand player Scott Styris to stop wearing the RCB jersey during matches because of the team's poor performance in the IPL 2024 season. RCB is currently at the bottom of the table with just two points from seven games.
Styris, who supports the team by wearing the jersey, is considered a "bad omen" for RCB's performance. De Villiers commented on Styris' post, urging him to stop wearing the jersey. In response, Styris challenged de Villiers, saying he would stop wearing the RCB shirt if de Villiers would wear a Chennai Super Kings shirt once.

Styris, who supports the team by wearing the jersey, is considered a "bad omen" for RCB's performance.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has given <a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/Mustafizur-Rahman/330902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mustafizur Rahman</a> an extended No-Objection Certificate, allowing him to play for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL until their match against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) on May 1. His original availability was until April 30.
Mustafizur will participate in several important matches for CSK, including back-to-back games against the Lucknow Super Giants on April 19 and 23, a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 28, and the final match against PBKS on May 1.

Jalal Yunus expressed his opinion on Mustafizur's involvement in the IPL.

<a style="color: #169179;" title="click here" href="../../player/Glenn-Maxwell/325026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glenn Maxwell</a> decided to offer his spot on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team to another overseas player after performing poorly in IPL 2024. He explained that he approached RCB captain <a style="color: #169179;" title="click here" href="../../player/faf-du-plessis/44828" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faf du Plessis</a> and the coaching staff with the suggestion to drop himself from the playing XI to take a break and recover mentally and physically.

Maxwell acknowledged that he needed the break to recharge and improve his performance. 

In an IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), RCB's batsmen <a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/virat-kohli/253802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> and <a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/faf-du-plessis/44828" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faf du Plessis</a> tried hard to keep up with SRH's record-setting score. Kohli scored 42 runs and du Plessis scored 62 runs as they chased SRH's impressive total of 287 runs.
SRH set the highest-ever score in IPL history, led by <a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/travis-head/530011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Travis Head's </a>century and Heinrich Klaasen's quick 67 runs. Despite RCB's efforts, they couldn't reach the target, posting a total of 262 runs for the loss of 7 wickets.

Mithali Raj, a former Indian cricketer, praised RCB's openers for their intent to score runs early on.

RCB is currently at the bottom of the table and needed a win.&nbsp;Siraj, who could be a part of India's T20 World Cup squad, has been struggling in the IPL this season, taking only four wickets in six matches with an expensive economy rate of 10.41. He struggled in a recent match against Mumbai Indians, conceding 37 runs in three overs without taking any wickets.
&nbsp;

RCB was criticized for their decision to drop Mohammed Siraj and Glenn Maxwell from the team.

<a style="color: #169179;" title="click here" href="../../player/Rohit-Sharma/34102" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> scored his second IPL century recently, but his team, Mumbai Indians, lost the match to Chennai Super Kings. Despite his milestone, Rohit didn't seem too excited because the team lost. This season, he has been batting well, averaging 52.20 and striking at 167.31, which are positive signs for India ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Rohit Sharma's recent IPL century was a great achievement.

Preity Zinta was celebrating a potential win for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a cricket match at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh. She was happy because stand-in captain Sam Curran took two wickets in one of the last overs, putting Punjab in a strong position. However, her celebrations quickly turned to disappointment as Shimron Hetmyer of Rajasthan Royals hit two sixes in three balls during the final over, leading his team to victory and crushing PBKS' hopes.

Rajasthan Royals were considered favorites in the run chase, but Punjab Kings put up a good fight. 

Michael Vaughan criticized the Wankhede crowd for booing Hardik Pandya and made a strong statement about the MI captain's role in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Vaughan noted that the behaviour of the crowd towards Hardik was surprising, especially since he was booed at his home ground. Vaughan believes India needs Hardik in top form to have a good chance at winning the T20 World Cup, so he urged the fans to support him to help build his confidence during the IPL season.

 Hardik Pandya's importance is emphasized, as the MI captain is crucial for India to win the T20 World Cup.

Australia captain Aaron Finch thinks Dhoni should bat earlier for CSK. He believes people are excited to see Dhoni bat and want him to have more time on the field. Finch mentioned that Dhoni always rises to challenges and will likely receive the biggest cheer of the day.
This might be Dhoni's last match at the Wankhede Stadium, and he aims for a strong performance for CSK. The team is currently third in the points table with three wins and two losses.

Ruturaj Gaikwad made a special request for MS Dhoni before the match against the Mumbai Indians. 

Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face each other in a big IPL 2024 match on Sunday. They are the most successful teams in the IPL, having won 10 out of the 16 titles. They have also reached the most playoffs and finals, and have played against each other in the final four times, more than any other two teams.
The games between MI and CSK have been memorable, including a close match in 2008 and thrilling games in 2012, 2018, and 2019.

The IPL clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is often called "El Clasico." 

Punjab Kings captain <a style="color: #e03e2d;" title="click here" href="../../player/shikhar-dhawan/28235" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shikhar Dhawan</a> shared an emotional post on Instagram, showing a PBKS jersey with his son's name, Zoravar, on the back. He captioned the post, "You&rsquo;re Always with Me, My Boy." This gesture reflects Dhawan's close connection with his son. Despite the separation, Dhawan continues to think of his son, often writing him messages about his daily life. He expressed his love for his son and his hope to be reunited with him in the future.

Dhawan hadn't spoken to his son in five months and hadn't seen him in over a year.

This meeting fulfilled Jaiswal's dream and the Royals celebrated their record-setting victory. Jaiswal shared a memorable moment with Shah Rukh Khan, embracing the actor and sharing a laugh.

Jos Buttler's impressive century for RR led them to a dramatic victory. 

A recent meeting involving India captain <a style="color: #3598db;" title="click here" href="../../player/Rohit-Sharma/34102" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma,</a> head coach Rahul Dravid, and chief selector Ajit Agarkar focused on <a style="color: #3598db;" title="click here" href="../../player/Hardik-Pandya/625371" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya's</a> position in the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. The meeting lasted two hours and discussed concerns about Pandya's form and fitness, particularly his bowling performance in IPL 2024.

Pandya, who plays for Mumbai Indians, has not been performing well with the ball this season. 

<a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/dinesh-karthik/30045" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dinesh Karthik</a> is a dedicated and professional player, and his performance and experience make him a strong contender for the T20 World Cup alongside players like Rohit Sharma and <a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/virat-kohli/253802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli.</a> After Royal Challengers Bangalore lost a match to Lucknow Super Giants, Karthik continued to uphold his commercial commitments, including filming and a bat-signing session.

In the match against LSG, Karthik struggled, scoring only four runs off eight deliveries, and he was unhappy with his performance.

<a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/Mitchell-Starc/311592" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitchell Starc</a>, the Australian pacer, responded confidently to critics after a strong performance against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday. Despite a slow start to the season, Starc picked up three wickets for 28 runs in his four overs, including an excellent final over.
Starc admitted it took him a bit longer to adjust to the T20 format as he hadn't played much of it recently.&nbsp;

Starc is focused on maintaining their momentum in the tournament.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) secured a 20-run victory against Mumbai Indians (MI) in an IPL 2024 match at the Wankhede Stadium. CSK scored 206/4 in 20 overs, with <a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/MS-Dhoni/28081" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a> contributing a crucial 20* off 4 balls in the final over against MI captain <a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/Hardik-Pandya/625371" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya</a>. Dhoni hit three consecutive sixes in the last over, boosting CSK's total.

MI batting coach Kieron Pollard defended Pandya.

Rohit Sharma, the former captain of MI, drove the team bus, causing excitement among fans at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The video of Rohit's playful act quickly went viral on social media.
Rohit was seen driving the team bus as the home team was heading back to their hotel after practice. Fans cheered and took photos and videos of the event. Even Rohit's teammates laughed and took pictures of him in his new role.

Rohit Sharma performed a surprising act by driving the Mumbai Indians team bus himself.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Gautam Gambhir supports head coach Chandrakant Pandit even though former KKR all-rounder David Wiese called Pandit's coaching style "militant." Wiese said many foreign players in KKR found Pandit's strict approach challenging during the previous IPL season.

Gambhir praised Pandit for his successful domestic cricket record.

Irfan Pathan thinks it's unlikely that MS Dhoni will move up in the batting order for the much-anticipated match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Dhoni, the former CSK captain, has been batting in the lower-middle order this season. He's only batted in three matches so far and came in late each time.

Fans often express a desire to see Dhoni bat higher up the order.

Mohammad Kaif has chosen his ideal squad for the T20 World Cup and it includes some surprises. He chose Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the batting with Rohit Sharma, leaving out Shubman Gill. Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav take the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, while Hardik Pandya is No. 5. Kaif prefers Rishabh Pant as the keeper-batter over Sanju Samson, KL Rahul, and Jitesh Sharma.

Kaif includes both Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja in the squad.
