<a style="color: #236fa1;" title="click here" href="../../player/Mitchell-Starc/311592" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitchell Starc</a>, the Kolkata Knight Riders' high-priced player, wasn't in the team for their match against Punjab Kings. Despite his expensive price tag, he hasn't performed well in the IPL so far, taking only six wickets in seven matches at a high run rate. In the last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, he was hit for three sixes but managed to take a crucial wicket in the end. KKR captain <a style="color: #236fa1;" title="click here" href="../../player/Shreyas-Iyer/642519" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shreyas Iyer</a> confirmed that Starc wasn't playing due to a finger injury, not his poor form.

Shreyas Iyer explained why Mitchell Starc wasn't playing for KKR against PBKS. It's because of a finger injury, not his recent poor performance.

As the T20 World Cup squad selection draws near, former cricketer Mohammad Kaif shared his picks for the Indian team. He suggested Yashasvi Jaiswal to open with <a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/Rohit-Sharma/34102" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a>, while <a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/Virat-Kohli/253802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> would bat at No.3. Suryakumar Yadav follows Kohli in the lineup. Rishabh Pant was chosen as the first-choice wicketkeeper, and <a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/Hardik-Pandya/625371" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya</a> was included despite recent criticism.

Mohammad Kaif's T20 World Cup squad doesn't include Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj. Instead, KL Rahul replaces Sanju Samson as wicketkeeper.

<a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/Virat-Kohli/253802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli's</a> recent innings in IPL 2024 have sparked different opinions. While he's the top scorer with 430 runs, his batting style has raised concerns. Despite a decent strike rate of 145, his performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad drew attention. After a strong start, Kohli slowed down significantly in the middle overs. This inconsistency is worrying, especially with the T20 World Cup approaching. Former cricketer Ajay Jadeja believes Kohli's innings had both positive and negative aspects, highlighting the need for flexibility in RCB's batting order.

Jadeja commented on Virat Kohli's performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad, saying that Kohli's pace slowed down as soon as the Powerplay phase of the match finished.

&nbsp;RCB still has a chance to turn things around in their remaining six games. Currently at the bottom of the table with two points in eight matches and a negative run rate, RCB needs to win all their remaining matches, including the upcoming one against Sunrisers Hyderabad. If they win all, they'll have 14 points, and other results need to go their way to have a chance at qualifying based on a better Net Run Rate. If the top 3 teams win a certain number of their remaining matches, RCB could still make it with 14 points.

After Delhi Capitals beat Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru's chances of reaching the IPL playoffs are slim.

Virender Sehwag, the former Indian cricketer, has shared his thoughts on who he thinks should be in India's T20 World Cup squad. Surprisingly, he didn't include <a title="click here" href="../../player/hardik-pandya/625371" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya.</a> Instead, he suggested Shivam Dube or Rinku Singh as potential replacements. For his ideal starting XI, he mentioned players like <a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/yashasvi-jaiswal/1151278" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yashasvi Jaiswal</a>, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rishabh Pant. Then, he paused to consider either Rinku Singh or Shivam Dube for the sixth position.

Sourav Ganguly praised <a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/kl-rahul/422108" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KL Rahul</a> for his outstanding performance against Chennai Super Kings. Ganguly also recalled his conversation with Rahul during the 2022 World Cup, where he advised him to play fearless cricket. Ganguly emphasized the importance of playing freely and without fear in T20 cricket, highlighting Rahul's exceptional batting in the ongoing IPL season.

Rajasthan Royals continued their impressive performance in IPL 2024 with a convincing nine-wicket victory in Jaipur. <a style="color: #169179;" title="click here" href="../../player/sandeep-sharma/438362" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sandeep Sharma</a>, despite being an underrated bowler, showcased his skills by taking 5 wickets for 18 runs against Mumbai Indians. His performance, which included two crucial wickets early on and three more in the final over, helped restrict MI to 179/9. <a style="color: #169179;" title="click here" href="../../player/yashasvi-jaiswal/1151278" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yashasvi Jaiswal's</a> unbeaten century, scoring 104 runs off 60 balls, complemented the bowling effort.

Yashasvi Jaiswal scores a hundred, Sandeep Sharma takes 5 wickets as Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians convincingly.

<a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/sunil-narine/230558" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunil Narine</a> has confirmed that he won't be coming out of retirement to play in the T20 World Cup. Despite requests from West Indies captain Rovman Powell and others, Narine stated that his decision to retire from international cricket stands firm. He expressed gratitude for the support but emphasized that he's not reconsidering his retirement.

Sunil Narine has declined the offer to play in the T20 World Cup.

Harbhajan Singh believes there shouldn't be any argument about <a style="color: #169179;" title="click here" href="../../player/sanju-samson/425943" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sanju Samson's</a> inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad. He also thinks Samson should be prepared to take on the role of India's T20I captain after Rohit Sharma. As for the wicketkeeper spot, there are five contenders: Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, <a style="color: #169179;" title="click here" href="../../player/dinesh-karthik/30045" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dinesh Karthik</a>, KL Rahul, and Jitesh Sharma. Ishan Kishan is unlikely to be considered due to his batting position.

Harbhajan Singh firmly believes that Sanju Samson should be India's next T20 captain after Rohit Sharma.

<a style="color: #169179;" title="click here" href="../../player/hardik-pandya/625371" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya</a> is facing criticism after Mumbai Indians' poor performance in IPL 2024. With the team struggling and Pandya not performing well in batting, bowling, or as captain, concerns are mounting. Former cricketer Irfan Pathan believes Pandya's form is worrying not only for MI but also for the Indian cricket team. Pathan suggests that if Pandya doesn't improve, he risks losing the respect of his teammates and becoming a weak link in the team.
