<p><span style="color: #3598db;"><strong><a style="color: #3598db;" title="click here" href="../../player/Prithvi-Shaw/1070168" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shaw,</a></strong></span> who used to be a reliable opener, has been struggling lately and might face leaving the team before the IPL 2025 mega auction. Amre pointed out that Shaw's poor performance led to his replacement by Abishek Porel, who has been excelling with two half-centuries and a strong 36 runs. Porel's success has cemented his position as an opener, and Amre justified Shaw's omission by emphasizing Porel's impressive form.</p>

 Delhi Capitals' assistant coach, Pravin Amre, has been clear about why Prithvi Shaw was dropped from the Playing XI.

Despite reports suggesting otherwise, Klusener stated that retaining Rahul for the next season has not been discussed.</p>

LSG coach Lance Klusener finally speaks up about Sanjiv Goenka's criticism of KL Rahul in public.

<p><span style="color: #3598db;"><strong><a style="color: #3598db;" title="click here" href="../../player/Virat-Kohli/253802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;Kohli</a></strong></span> responded to criticism about his slow strike rate by saying critics should "speak from the box." Gavaskar then countered, saying there are no hidden agendas. Now, Balwinder Singh Sandhu, a former cricketer from the 1983 World Cup-winning team, has joined the debate. He believes players should take constructive criticism from commentators and use it to improve their skills, rather than reacting defensively.&nbsp;</p>

The back-and-forth between Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar has taken a new twist.

<p>Last month, the ECB clarified that players chosen for the T20 World Cup must return home by May 22 for the series against Pakistan. This decision came after England announced their squad for the tournament. England's team director mentioned that captain <span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong><a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/Jos-Buttler/308967" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jos Buttler</a></strong></span> preferred players to leave the IPL before the playoffs. However, this move angered Sunil Gavaskar, who urged the BCCI to take strong action against players leaving the IPL early.</p>

 Gavaskar suggested IPL teams reduce player salaries for leaving early and BCCI penalize their respective cricket boards.

<p>Delhi Capitals had a bumpy ride in the 2024 IPL season, but their captain <span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong><a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/Rishabh-Pant/931581" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rishabh Pant</a></strong></span> stood out with his performances. However, Pant's streak of playing every match for DC as captain and wicketkeeper-batter came to an end when he was suspended and fined for a Code of Conduct breach during a match against Rajasthan Royals. This led to him missing the next game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, which DC lost by 47 runs.</p>

Pant's absence was felt, and it dealt a blow to DC's playoff hopes.

<p>Ricky Ponting, the head coach of Delhi Capitals, confirmed that <span style="color: #236fa1;"><strong><a style="color: #236fa1;" title="click here" href="../../player/Axar-Patel/554691" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axar Patel</a></strong></span> will be the captain for their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This decision comes after regular captain <span style="color: #236fa1;"><strong><a style="color: #236fa1;" title="click here" href="../../player/Rishabh-Pant/931581" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rishabh Pant</a></strong></span> was suspended by the BCCI. Ponting praised Axar, calling him an experienced international cricketer who understands the game well. Axar has been the Vice-Captain of the team for a few seasons and is excited about the opportunity to lead.</p>

Axar Patel will lead Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2024 match against RCB after BCCI bans Rishabh Pant.

<p><span style="color: #236fa1;"><strong><a style="color: #236fa1;" title="click here" href="../../player/Hardik-Pandya/625371" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya</a></strong></span> had a tough time in IPL 2024 as his team, Mumbai Indians, got knocked out of the playoff race early. The season was challenging for Mumbai Indians, especially for Pandya, who faced criticism after replacing Rohit Sharma as captain. Pandya's form was also poor, failing to score any half-centuries in 13 matches and only reaching 200 runs in the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders. With the ball, he took only 11 wickets, which is below his usual performance level.</p>

AB de Villiers commented on Pandya's captaincy, suggesting that it lacked sincerity at times.

Sanju Samson was picked for the T20 World Cup, but he was more concerned about Kerala cricket.

<p>In an IPL 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings, <a href="../../player/sai-sudharsan/1151288"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Sai Sudharsan</strong></span></a> of Gujarat Titans made history by scoring a century off just 50 balls, becoming the fastest Indian to reach 1000 IPL runs. He surpassed Sachin Tendulkar and <span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong><a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/ruturaj-gaikwad/1060380" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ruturaj Gaikwad's</a></strong></span> record by achieving this milestone in just 25 innings. Sudharsan's outstanding performance helped Gujarat Titans secure a crucial win in their bid to stay in the tournament.</p>

 Sai Sudharsan broke Sachin Tendulkar's record by scoring his first-ever IPL century in the GT vs CSK match.
