KL Rahul Cleared for IPL 2024, Wicketkeeping Options a Concern for LSG: Report

The Indian Premier League’s 2018 season will feature star batter KL Rahul playing for the Lucknow Super Giants. After sustaining a quadriceps strain during the first Test in Hyderabad, Rahul was sidelined for the remaining four Test matches against England. Rahul traveled to London to get medical advice regarding his injury, and upon his return to India, he reported it to the NCA. Nonetheless, the LSG captain has been cleared to participate in the IPL, according to a report published by the news agency.

Rahul, in the meantime, uploaded a little video to Instagram a few days ago in which he is seen practicing his outfield skills at the NCA, hitting, and performing basic keeping drills. However, the source went on to say that Rahul should stay away from wicketkeeping during the first few games of the IPL but be able to pick it back up later. “On Thursday, March 20, he and his colleagues will travel to Lucknow upon NCA sanction, ahead of their first game on March 24 in Jaipur against the Rajasthan Royals. It is acknowledged that he was instructed not to squat at first and that in the upcoming days, he can use the large gloves. He would only play as a pure batter for the first four games, a BCCI source who is keeping tabs on LSG’s progress told PTI under anonymity.

The team may not be concerned about keeping Rahul around because they have two excellent choices: Nicholas Pooran of the West Indies and Quinton de Kock, a former Proteas player. To establish himself as a contender for a selection in India’s T20 World Cup squad, he will attempt to pick up the wicketkeeping duties as quickly as feasible. The IPL is the sole opportunity for the wicketkeeper batter, who hasn’t played in the T20 league since the 2022 T20 World Cup, to return. “Given his prior results, Rahul won’t be ranked in the top three for the Indian T20 squad. If he plays well in the IPL, he can be that keeper-batter at No. 5 or 6. However, Rinku Singh is a much better option if he plays only as a batter than Rishabh Pant, who might make a splash with some impressive performances, according to a BCCI source with knowledge of the situation.

‘Sorry Bhai…’: Rishabh Pant Apologizes After Cameraperson Is Hit by DC Captain’s Shot

Rishabh Pant led the Delhi Capitals to a stunning four-run victory over Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2024 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday night. Pant was either side’s top scorer, hitting a 43-ball 88 to help DC beat the former champions by 224/4.

Pant smashed five fours and eight sixes during his blistering performance. Unfortunately, one of his massive sixes resulted in a cameraman from the BCCI production crew being hit during the tournament.

Pant apologized to the crew member and wished him a speedy recovery in a video message sent after the match, alongside DC head coach Ricky Ponting.

“Sorry Debashish bhai, I did not intend to hit you, but I believe you will recover well and wish you luck,” Pant said in a video published by IPL on their social media account on X.

Pant has returned to competitive cricket in fine form after more than a year recovering from injuries sustained in a vehicle accident in December 2022. The ongoing IPL is his first competitive event, and he’s been fairly effective with the bat and behind the stumps as well.

“Every day that I’m in the middle, I feel better,” Pant remarked after the game on Wednesday. “Every hour on the field is valuable; I enjoy being on the field. I strive to give everything my all, which sometimes takes some time. I believe that the first six points in a match give me confidence in the game. The longer I spend in the core, the better I feel.”

Mohit Sharma Concedes 73 Runs, Sets Record for ‘Worst Bowling Figures’ in IPL History

During Wednesday’s Indian Premier League (IPL) match between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Mohit Sharma let up the most runs in his four overs—73—which is the lowest total in the league.

In the final over, Rishabh Pant struck 31 runs with four sixes and one four, forcing Mohit to give up.

Sandeep Warrier struck in his second over, dismissing both of Delhi’s openers and taking a third wicket, as Shubman Gill continued to have faith in his opening bowlers. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad, the spin team, were unable to fully dominate the middle segment, though.

Given that Sai Kishore had not bowled a ball before this game, Gill may have erred by not believing in Warrier for the 19th over and instead placing him in danger.

With the help of a scorching century partnership between Pant and Axar Patel as well as rapidfire half-centuries, Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Titans 224/4. After DC was down 44 for 3 in 6 overs, Pant and Axar used their counterattacking hitting to stitch 113 off just 68 balls for the fourth wicket.

Pant and Axar attempted to form a partnership when trailing three wickets, but once they were set, they launched a vicious attack.
