Dubai [UAE], December 19 (ANI): Out-of-favour India batters <keyword id="1605196" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="karun-nair" source="Orion">Karun Nair</keyword>, <keyword id="66306" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="manish-pandey" source="Orion">Manish Pandey</keyword> and star Australian batter and former skipper <keyword id="88531" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="steven-smith" source="Orion">Steven Smith</keyword> went unsold in the first round of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction on Tuesday in Dubai. Nair's base price was Rs 50 lakh but he went unsold during the IPL 2024 auction. In the 2023 season, Nair was a part of the Rajasthan-based franchise. The 32-year-old appeared in 76 IPL matches and scored 1496 runs in the extravagant T20 tournament. Australian batter Steven Smith went unsold in the IPL 2024 auction. Smith had a base price of Rs 2 crores but no franchises made a bid for the 34-year-old. Smith played his last IPL game in 2021, following that he has not been a part of any franchise. The Aussie played 103 matches in the IPL, where he scored 2485 runs. Meanwhile, the Indian batter Manish also went unsold in the first round of IPL 2024. Manish's base price was Rs 50 lakh.

RCB will host CSK in the 68th fixture <keyword id="19911541" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL-2024" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="IPL 2024" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="IPL 2024">IPL 2024</keyword> encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. There is a lot of threat of rain in an all-important clash between RCB-CSK. This encounter is supposed to be crucial as it will decide the fourth and final team for the playoffs of the ongoing 17th edition of the cash-rich league. The evening views remain dull with a 60% chance of rain around the match's start time of 7.30 pm. The Indian Meteorological Department has predicted that it would be generally cloudy with one or two spells of rain or thundershowers. Even if it rains, the Chinnaswamy Stadium has a good drainage system and is one of the few grounds in India with a subsurface aeration system, allowing play to resume within 30 minutes after the rain stops. RCB is coming into the match with five wins on the trot after losing seven of the first eight matches this season but have a great chance to make the IPL playoffs for the ninth time. On the other hand, defending champions CSK have been more consistent throughout the season and are better placed to make their 13th playoff appearance. The five-time champions beat RCB in the season's first clash by six wickets. Chennai Super Kings are fourth on the points table with 14 points from 13 matches while Royal Challengers Bengaluru are at sixth with 12 points from as many games. CSK also have a better net run rate of 0.528 than RCB's 0.387. To replace the Super Kings in the top four, RCB needs to win the match by at least 18 runs if they score a minimum of 200 runs batting first or win in 18.1 overs if they are chasing 200. Chennai Super Kings, meanwhile, will qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs if they win the match, regardless of the margin of victory. The last time CSK and RCB met in the inaugural match of the IPL 2024, the Super Kings clinched a six-wicket win over Faf du Plessis' side. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Squad: Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal, Swapnil Singh, Anuj Rawat, Suyash Prabhudessai, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Himanshu Sharma, Mayank Dagar, Manoj Bhandage, Tom Curran, Alzarri Joseph, Akash Deep, Saurav Chauhan, Rajan Kumar.

Following a defeat against Chennai Super Kings (<keyword id="19896464" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="csk" source="keywords">CSK</keyword>) in the Indian Premier League (<keyword id="19906063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ipl" source="keywords">IPL</keyword>) 2024, Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper <keyword id="19929450" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shubman-gill" source="keywords">Shubman Gill</keyword> was fined as his team maintained a slow over rate during the first innings of the match on Tuesday. The fortress at Chepauk stood untouched as the CSK registered a comprehensive 63-run win over the Gujarat Titans in the ongoing IPL 2024 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. "Shubman Gill, the Gujarat Titans captain, has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on March 26," said IPL in an official statement. Coming to Gill, his form has dipped after taking over the captaincy of the Gujarat franchise as he has not been able to score runs that consistently. The right-hand opener scored 31 runs in the first match against five-time champion Mumbai Indians and was able to score just 8 runs against the defending champions CSK. The 24-year-old had a memorable run in the IPL 2023 after he won the <keyword id="20934270" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="orange-cap" source="keywords">Orange Cap</keyword>. In 17 matches, he scored 890 runs at an average of 59.33 and a strike rate of 157.80 with 3 hundreds and 4 fifties to his name. He also scored 129 runs off 60 balls against MI in the Qualifier 2. Recapping the match, GT put CSK to bat first. Fiery knocks from Rachin Ravindra (46 in 20 balls, with six fours and three sixes), skipper <keyword id="19896465" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ruturaj-gaikwad" source="keywords">Ruturaj Gaikwad</keyword> (46 in 36 balls, with five fours and a six) and Dube (51 in 23 balls, with two fours and five sixes) took CSK to 206/6 in 20 overs. <keyword id="20023118" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rashid-khan" source="keywords">Rashid Khan</keyword> (2/49) and Spencer Johnson (1/35) were among the picks of the bowlers for GT. In the run-chase, GT kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

GT were restricted to 143/8 and lost by 63 runs. Tushar Deshpande (2/21), Deepak Chahar (2/28) and Mustafizur Rahman (2/30) were the top bowlers for CSK. Dube took home the 'Player of the Match' award.

Shubman Gill fined for slow over-rate in IPL 2024 encounter against CSK

<keyword id="19959099" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sunrisers-hyderabad" source="keywords">Sunrisers Hyderabad</keyword> (<keyword id="274027" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="srh" source="Orion">SRH</keyword>) have appointed <keyword id="19941485" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pat-cummins" source="keywords">Pat Cummins</keyword> as the captain of the side ahead of the 2024 Indian Premier League (<keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ipl" source="Orion">IPL</keyword>) season, said the franchise through its social media accounts on Monday. SRH were captained by Aiden Markram in previous two seasons, but didn't gain any significant success, especially finishing at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2023, having just four wins from 14 matches. Markram, though, successfully led SunRisers Eastern Cape, a sister team of the SRH franchise to the trophy in the first two seasons of the SA20. But <keyword id="19928916" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cummins" source="keywords">Cummins</keyword> had a magnificent 2023, which boosted his leadership credentials - winning the World Test Championship (WTC), retaining the Ashes in England and claiming a record sixth Men's ODI World Cup as captain of Australia. It will be the first time Cummins will be captaining a side in the IPL and reunites with Daniel Vettori, the new SRH head coach who also works as an assistant coach for Australia. He also becomes the second Australian to be SRH's captain after fellow country-mate <keyword id="19948689" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="david-warner" source="keywords">David Warner</keyword>, who led the franchise in 67 matches from 2015 to 2021.

IPL 2024: Sunrisers Hyderabad appoint Pat Cummins as captain for upcoming season

Kolkata Knight Riders (<keyword id="19924483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="KKR" source="keywords">KKR</keyword>) clinched the top position on the points table in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, making it the first time in the tournament's history that the Kolkata-based franchise has achieved this feat. Two teams have already qualified for the <keyword id="19911541" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL-2024" source="keywords">IPL 2024</keyword> playoffs: KKR leads the standings, while RR is on a four-match losing run heading into the tournament's knockout rounds. With Rajasthan Royals (RR) suffering a defeat against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Wednesday KKR sealed the top spot in the league phase of IPL 2024 for the first time in league history, while the second spot is still up for grabs. They have now left the door ajar for both <keyword id="21035867" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="SRH" source="keywords">SRH</keyword> and <keyword id="19896464" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CSK" source="keywords">CSK</keyword> to go past them on the points table. RR, who were the only contenders capable of challenging KKR for the top spot, with four defeats in a row might lose a chance to make a top-two finish after overpowering the points table for much of the season. Meanwhile for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (<keyword id="20282652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="RCB" source="keywords">RCB</keyword>), if SRH earns at least one more point, either by a washout or a win, RCB's sole hope is to finish ahead of CSK in the points standings. That implies defeating them by at least 18 runs if they score 200. On the other hand, a win over RCB on Saturday will secure Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) qualification. If they lose by less than 18 runs (chasing 200), their NRR will remain higher than that of RCB, and they will qualify regardless of other results. If CSK loses by a wider margin, they must hope that SRH loses their remaining games and finishes behind in the run rate, in which case both CSK and RCB will qualify. CSK may potentially move into second place on the points table if RR loses their last game and SRH wins no more than one match. Then, a win over RCB might boost CSK to second place, since their NRR is now higher than that of both SRH and RR. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are just one point away from qualification. If a game gets washed out due to rain or they win even one of their remaining two games, then SRH will qualify for the playoffs. In case SRH lose both of their games and RCB beats CSK by a margin, which causes CSK's net run rate to drop below that of SRH, the Pat Cummins side will qualify for the playoffs.

KKR secure top spot for first time; RCB, CSK, SRH still in hunt for two remaining IPL playoff spots

Indian batter <keyword id="6354486" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="Orion">Virat Kohli</keyword> is currently leading the IPL 2024 batting chart with 181 runs in three matches. His strike rate (141.1) is not that impressive, but a <keyword id="6354756" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bcci" source="Orion">BCCI</keyword> official believes that <keyword id="19899436" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kohli" source="keywords">Kohli</keyword> will improve it, considering his form and experience. Before the start of IPL 2024, there were reports that Kohli might find it tough to get a place in India's squad for the T20 <keyword id="19930296" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-cup" source="keywords">World Cup</keyword>, scheduled later this year, and chief selector <keyword id="20039980" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ajit-agarkar" source="keywords">Ajit Agarkar</keyword> will be keeping a close watch on the former Indian captain's performance. However, Kohli's two back-to-back fifties in three matches of the cash-rich league, has lifted his chances for World Cup contention. Though RCB has lost two matches, Kohli's form with the bat is currently a topic of discussion among netizens. Some are questioning his strike-rate while some are praising his innings. Memes related to his "not-so-impressive" strike rate are also getting viral. Speaking to IANS, a BCCI official -- on condition of anonymity -- said that Kohli despite coming from a long break, is "playing well" and added that selectors "don't go by social media memes" while picking up a team. "See, it is just the beginning (of the league) and Kohli has started fine. He will improve his strike rate as well in the coming matches. As far as I personally feel, he will make it (to the World Cup squad). Selectors don't go by social media memes. Cricket is played on the field not on social media platforms," the official added. The T20 World Cup 2024 is scheduled to kickstart from June 1 onwards in West Indies and USA, following the conclusion of IPL 2024 season. <keyword id="20015089" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="team-india" source="keywords">Team India</keyword> are placed in Group A alongside Pakistan.
