IPL 2024: Ahead of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has decided to do some tweaks in its coaching department. The former IPL champions have replaced legendary batter Brian Lara from the coaching staff for the upcoming seasons of the IPL following an utterly disappointing campaign in the last edition.



SRH, on Monday, announced its decision to part ways with head coach Brian Lara after the team finished with a wooden spoon in the Tata IPL 2023. They could only manage to win four games in the group stages in the 10-team tournament.



Along with the sacking of Brian Lara, the 2016 IPL champions announced the appointment of former New Zealand cricketer Daniel Vettori as the new head coach of the team.



"Kiwi legend Daniel Vettori joins the #OrangeArmy as Head Coach. Welcome, coach!" wrote SRH across its social media handles as it announced the new head coach.

The franchise also thanked Brian Lara for his 2-year service to the team and wished him all the luck for his future endeavours.



"As our 2-year association with Brian Lara comes to an end, we bid adieu to him. Thank you for your contributions to the Sunrisers. We wish you all the best for your future endeavours."



Notably, Vettori had served the Virat Kohli starrer side, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), from IPL 2014 to 2018. Under his watchful eyes, RCB went on to play their only IPL final in 2016, which they lost against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 runs.



The Kiwi legend has rich experience in coaching. He has worked with Bangladesh's national team as a bowling consultant. He is also associated with the Australian cricket team since May 2022 as the assistant coach.



Currently, the former New Zealand captain is assuming the head coach's role for Birmingham Phoenix, a side in England's premier league 'The Hundred.'



Interstingly, SRH will be working with the fourth head coach in the last six seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL). They had the services of Tom Moody (2019 and 2022), Trevor Bayliss (2020 and 2021) and Brian Lara (2023).



In the last three seasons of the IPL, SRH has been one of the most disappointing teams in the tournament. They finished last in the IPL 2021, eighth in the IPL 2022 (10-teams) and at the bottom in the recently held season of the IPL.



Their best season came under David Warner's captaincy in 2016 when they finished third in the league stages and eventually ended up winning the IPL title.

IPL 2024: SRH appoints Daniel Vettori?as head coach, part ways with Brian Lara for IPL 2024

Batting great Brian Lara has named one batter whom he thinks can break his record of 400 runs in Test cricket. He backed Indian players to surpass his record but what caught the attention of many was he didn?t name <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/576/rohit-sharma" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/576/rohit-sharma">Rohit Sharma </a>or Virat Kohli, who have been stalwarts of Indian cricket.?



Brian Lara backed young Shubman Gill to break his record of 400 runs in Test cricket. Speaking to Anandabazar Patrika, he predicted that the young batter that shatter his record, saying that he has the capability to play big innings.&nbsp;



Shubman Gill arguably is one of the best young batters going in the world of cricket. Even in a short span of time, he has become the backbone of the Indian cricket team. The batter has oozed his class in every format of the game and him being touted as Prince speaks a lot of about his calibre.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



It?s fair to say that Shubman Gill is the face of the next generation and with the kind of impact, he has had in a short span of time, he can break any record. It won?t be a surprise if he breaks Brain Lara?s record of 400 runs because he has the capacity to play big innings.?

Shubman Gill so far has an ODI double hundred, Test hundred, T20I hundred and IPL hundred. He has already broken quite a few records. What has been impressive is the consistency he scores runs with. He?s the current No.1 ranked batter and has also made a huge impact in the other two formats.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shubman Gill to play huge role in South Test series?for India </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/06/Shubman-Gill-Test-1.jpg" alt="IND vs WI: Sunil Gavaskar reckons Shubman Gill can be India's next test captain replacing Rohit Sharma." class="wp-image-115473" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: BCCI/Twitter</figcaption></figure>



Shubman Gill has been named in the Indian squad for the upcoming South Africa tour. The batter will be playing T20I and Tests and has been rested from the ODIs. The T20I series will be an opportunity for him to seal his spot in the team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. ?



But one of the biggest challenges for him will be the Test series against South Africa. India hasn?t won a series ever there and if they have to achieve the feat this time around, Shubman Gill needs to fire. He will be batting at No.3 in the series and his role becomes even more important.&nbsp;

5. Steve Smith (AUS)
Steve Smith is one of the best test batters that the game has seen in the last decade or so. He started his career as a leg-spinner and batted at no. 8 in his first game. But here, he is among the greatest of all time. Smith recently reached the 10,000-run mark in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle in his 205th innings. He has scored 10,038* runs in 205 innings at an average of almost 56 with 34 centuries and 42 half-centuries.
4. Ricky Ponting (AUS)
Former Australian captain was the best captain that the game has seen. He retired with four ICC trophies. Ponting also retired with the second-most runs in test cricket, and he is the fourth-fastest overall, having done it in 196 innings. Ponting played 168 tests between 1995 and 2012 and scored 13,378 runs at an average of 51.85. He scored 41 centuries and 62 half-centuries with a best of 257.
3. Kumar Sangakkara (SL)
Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara was an underrated batter, but his numbers are certainly mind-boggling. He retired with the most runs and centuries for Sri Lanka in international cricket. The Southpaw also holds the record for the second-most test double hundreds (11) after Sir Don Bradman (12). Sangakkara reached 10,000 test runs in his 195th innings. He played 134 tests and scored 12,400 runs at an average of 57.40 and the best of 319. The Southpaw scored 38 centuries and 52 half-centuries in total.
2. Sachin Tendulkar (IND)
The legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar is the second-fastest batter overall. Sachin retired with the most runs, centuries, half-centuries, and matches in test cricket history. That tells something about his longevity. Sachin played 200 tests and scored 15921 runs at an average of 53.78 and a best of 248 not out. He scored 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries and reached 10,000 runs in his 195th test innings.
1. Brian Lara (WI)
Brian Lara was one of the best batters that West Indies produced in this game. The left-hander holds the record for the highest test individual score and is the only batter to cross the 370-run mark twice in an innings. Lara reached 10,000 test runs in the 195th innings. Overall, he scored 11953 runs in 131 tests at an average of 52.88, with 34 centuries and 48 half-centuries.

Indian legend <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> has been the most inspiring cricketer of his generation since the player has shown commanding form owing to his fitness routine. Kohli will star in the upcoming IND vs NZ contest of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, which will mark a great feat in his illustrious career. 
Kohli will play his 300th ODI international as he surpasses the former Windies legend <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Lara" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Lara</a>, who had played 299 games in the history of the limited-overs format. Kohli recently gained form with a commanding hundred against Pakistan in the last game. 
This marked Kohli’s further lead into international cricket with his 82nd century, of which 51 have come in the ODI format alone, which took him much ahead of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar (49 hundred) and third on the list cricketer, Rohit Sharma (32 centuries). 
Promising Kiwi all-rounder showing some great form in the ongoing Champions Trophy, Michael Bracewell commented, "Playing 300 games across formats is very impressive and then you put that in just one format. It's a testament to the way Virat Kohli has gone about his career. It's a massive achievement".
https://x.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1896062498262171924
Only the likes of former Indian stars Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Mohammed Azharuddin, and Yuvraj Singh have played more ODI matches in their careers than Virat Kohli. 
<h2 dir="ltr">Virat Kohli recently completed 14000 runs in ODI cricket</h2>
<h2 dir="ltr"> <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202503/image_430x256_67c3fba7533fa.jpg" alt="VK to 14000+ ODI runs" width="755" height="470"></h2>
Virat Kohli in the last game against Pakistan played a record-breaking hundred-run innings, chasing a low total against their arch-rivals. Kohli, in doing so, became only the third cricketer in the world to have scored 14000+ international runs alone in the 50-over format. 
Virat Kohli not only surpassed the likes of Ricky Ponting, the former Australian skipper, with the number of runs scored but also became the fastest cricketer to 14000 ODI runs. Kohli is now just 149 runs behind the great <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumar_Sangakkara" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kumar Sangakkara</a> and with another 150 runs, he can be the cricketer with the second-most runs in ODIs, only behind former Indian great Sachin Tendulkar, who has 18426 runs in his career spanning over 2 decades.
