<p><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong><a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/Sanju-Samson/425943" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sanju Samson</a></strong></span>, the wicketkeeper for India, shared a story about how a small lie he told to Rahul Dravid helped kickstart his career in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He explained that his entry into the IPL was facilitated by a chance encounter between former cricketer S Sreesanth and Dravid, who was the captain of Rajasthan Royals at the time.</p>
<p>Back in 2009, Samson was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders squad, but he didn't get much playing time. After waiting for three years, he finally got signed by KKR for the 2012 season.</p>

Sanju Samson stopped Rahul Dravid and said, "This kid hit six sixes in an over." This lie changed his career.

<p><strong><a title="click here" href="../../player/Virat-Kohli/253802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a></strong> has made history in the Indian Premier League (IPL) by becoming the only player to score 4000 runs in matches that his team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has won. Throughout his 17-year career in the IPL, all with RCB, he's been a consistent performer. This season, he's leading the batting charts with 542 runs in 11 matches, earning him the Orange Cap. Out of the 16 players who have crossed the 4000-run mark, Kohli stands alone as the only one to achieve this milestone while contributing to his team's victories.</p>

 RCB shared this achievement on social media, highlighting Kohli's unique feat among IPL players.

Pathirana had performed well in the season, taking 13 wickets in six matches. It's uncertain if he'll come back later.

Despite concerns, Kohli has been consistent and holds the Orange Cap with 542 runs in 11 matches. Some former cricketers have criticized his strike rate of 148.08. However, Kohli remains unfazed by the criticism, focusing on winning games for his team. He emphasized his track record of delivering for his team over 15 years, disregarding the opinions of those who question his performance.</p>

Wasim Akram responded to the talk about Virat Kohli's strike rate by saying, "If you're scoring a century at a strike rate of 150, what's the problem?"

<p>Mumbai Indians suffered a big setback in their IPL 2024 campaign, losing their eighth match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite a strong start with Nuwan Thushara taking three wickets early on, KKR managed to set a target of 170 runs. Mumbai's captain, <span style="color: #2dc26b;"><strong><a style="color: #2dc26b;" title="click here" href="../../player/Hardik-Pandya/625371" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya</a></strong></span>, faced harsh criticism for his leadership as they struggled, eventually losing by 24 runs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Gujarat Titans, Virat <span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong><a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/Virat-Kohli/253802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kohli</a></strong></span> got back the Orange Cap for being the leading run-scorer in the IPL. <span style="color: #ba372a;"><strong><a style="color: #ba372a;" title="click here" href="../../player/Dinesh-Karthik/30045" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dinesh Karthik</a></strong></span>, who also played well in the match, gave him the cap. Despite RCB facing a tough time during their chase, Kohli's gesture towards Karthik showed respect, and Karthik hugged him in return. Kohli has been consistent for RCB, but he hasn't always had strong support from other players. Karthik, however, has often come through for the team, especially in tough situations.</p>

Virat Kohli did something nice for Dinesh Karthik when he got the Orange Cap after RCB beat GT.

Ashwin specifically mentioned Bumrah's unique advantage in his bowling style. However, when it came to <span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong><a style="color: #e67e23;" title="click here" href="../../player/Sunil-Narine/230558" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Narine</a></strong></span>, Ashwin didn't want to talk much, hinting at some past issues with his bowling action that he didn't want to dwell on.</p>

R Ashwin praised Jasprit Bumrah and Sunil Narine for their performances in IPL 2024.
