IPL 2024: Mohammed Siraj's Baffling Comment, Virat Kohli's "Alag Cricket Chal Raha hai"

Mohammed Siraj’s Baffling Comment, Virat Kohli’s “Alag Cricket Chal Raha hai”: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) squad had a terrific victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) on Sunday in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, and the team’s locker room was celebrating.

In addition to earning RCB the crucial two points, the 47-run victory improved their Net Run Rate and put them in a better position to finish in the top 4.

Players were making jokes about their teammates in the changing area, which created a genuinely joyous mood.

One of the best parts of the changing room sequences was definitely the banter between Mohammed Siraj and Virat Kohli.

In a video shared by RCB on social media, Kohli and Siraj were engaged in a fun conversation, with RCB spinner Karn Sharma also getting involved. Here’s how the conversation went:

Siraj: What a comeback! We only wanted to take it one game at a time. Qualification or the playoffs is not in our control. What is in our control is, fast bowlers have the balls, batters have the bat. All we have to do is attack. If we qualify, it’s very good. But we just want to continue playing this brand of cricket.

Kohli: (laughs) He is saying batter has a bat and bowler has a ball

Siraj: The mindset is to take wickets, right?

Virat Kohli’s “Alag Cricket Chal Raha hai”

Kohli: (laughs) Alag cricket chal rahi hai (he is playing different cricket). Just say, “All I can see are stumps”

Siraj: Siuuuuuu…

Kohli: (laughs) He is saying see you.

In another video shared by RCB, the franchise’s players could be seen celebrating their victory against DC, the fifth consecutive of the season, in a wild manner.

Though RCB’s playoffs qualification hopes have been given a big boost, the situation still isn’t completely in their hands. RCB don’t just need to beat CSK in their final league match of the season but also hope for a few other results to fall in their favour.

Rohit said, “Arre Jaisu, Gully cricket khel raha hai kya? Niche baith ke reh. Jab tak ball khelega nahin tab tak uthne ka nahin.” (Hey Jaisu, are you playing gully cricket? Squat down and don’t get up until the batter plays the ball.)

Debutant Sam Konstas (60) sparked the home team’s charge with a scintillating half-century, marking a dream debut with some stunning strokes.

Sunil Gavaskar Slams India for Mistreating R Ashwin

Sunil Gavaskar Slams India for Mistreating R Ashwin: Despite Ravi Ashwin’s evident leadership ability, the Indian team management has been criticized by former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar for not even giving him the honor of vice-captaincy.

He said that rather than only giving him the opportunity to lead the team out to bat in his 100th Test. Team India might have awarded him the armband in a bilateral series or a symbolic Test.

Read More | R Ashwin Father’s Shocking Statement on Ashwin’s Retirement

After playing in 106 Test matches, 116 One-Day Internationals, and 65 Twenty20 Internationals for India, Ashwin announced his retirement last week on the penultimate day of the Gabba Test in the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Only Anil Kumble has taken more Test wickets for the nation than he has, with 537. Despite being regarded as one of the nation’s most brilliant cricket minds. He never held a captaincy position and only captained the IPL and local cricket during his international career.

“Ashwin would have made a fine captain for India, but he was denied even the honor of being the vice-captain. There was an opportunity to give him the belated honor even if it was for a token Test match and a limited-overs bilateral series. But that also was denied to him. That’s why it was so good to see Rohit Sharma ask him to lead the team out on his 100th Test match,” Gavaskar wrote in his column for Mid-Day.

Gavaskar criticized the Indian team management for not making greater use of Ashwin during international Test matches, claiming that they dropped him using every “excuse of team balance.”

“Cricket being a batters’ game, the fact that he invariably won the Player of the Series award didn’t win him kudos among the batters’ fraternity. Every time there was even a five percent excuse to leave him out of the eleven, it was grabbed avidly with the excuse of team balance.”

“At home, there was no way he could be left out because the management knew that without him, they could not win the game. If the excuse was that the pitch and conditions wouldn’t suit the ICC number one-ranked bowler. How come the same excuse was not used for the batters even if they were not top-ranked by ICC, but who struggled in similar pitches and conditions?”

Many commentators think that Ashwin was pressured to announce his retirement by Washington Sundar’s selection over him for the series’ opening Test match in Perth.
