Hardik Pandya, who previously played for Gujarat Titans , is now back with Mumbai Indians for this IPL season. He’s not just playing, but he’s also leading the team as captain, taking over from Rohit Sharma, who leads India’s cricket team in all formats. Since Pandya took on the role of captaincy, he’s been facing a lot of criticism on social media. Even during the IPL matches, fans have been expressing their dissatisfaction by booing him. Mumbai Indians haven’t been winning, which adds to the pressure on Pandya. R Ashwin Backs Hardik Pandya Amid Hate Campaign Ashwin came to Pandya’s defence, calling the fan wars “ugly”. He believes it’s unfair for fans to be so harsh on a player who represents India on the international stage. When Ravichandran Ashwin was asked on his YouTube channel whether Mumbai Indians should clarify the decision to make Pandya the captain, he disagreed, to which Ashwin said,  “Neither has any role to play.

According to the latest updates, Usman still has the option to switch back to Pakistan and has not yet represented the UAE cricket team. Also Read: IPL 2024: SRH Hit Record-Breaking Innings To Rewri

Yeah, it happened!  Today marks a significant milestone for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). SRH achieved the highest-ever total in IPL history during their match against Mumbai Indians. Put in to bat first, SRH posted 277 for 3 on the scoreboard against Mumbai. They defeated MI at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. This remarkable feat saw them break the 11-year-old record for the highest team total in an IPL innings. Previously held by Royal Challengers Bangalore, who scored 263/5 in 20 overs against now-defunct Pune Warriors India in 2013. Aggressive Batting Style by SRH Batters Heinrich Klaasen spearheaded the attack with a breathtaking 80 off 34. But his journey to a half-century was surprisingly the slowest among Sunrisers Hyderabad batters. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head swapped places for the record of the quickest half-century for SRH. MI captain Hardik Pandya used six bowlers throughout SRH’s innings, with only Jasprit Bumr

 It's with heavy hearts that we share the news of Shaharyar Khan's passing.

He wrote several books sharing his experiences in diplomacy and cricket. In a recent interview, he expressed regret for not being able to restore regular cricket matches between Pakistan and India during his last term as PCB

Imad Wasim, Islamabad United’s star all-rounder, was spotted smoking while sitting with his teammates in the PSL final against Multan Sultans.  No doubt, Imad Wasim ’s performance in the PSL final 2024 on Sunday was match-winning.
