IPL 2024 Breaking News: The preparations for the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League are moving at a breakneck pace. The next season's auction will take place on December 19th in Dubai. Kolkata Knight Riders have made a critical decision just before the IPL 2024. Shreyas Iyer has been re-appointed captain of the team. Iyer was unable to play last season due to an injury. Nitish Rana was appointed as the captain in his absence. Gautam Gambhir has also returned to his former franchise as a mentor.



Nitish Rana will be the vice captain of the Knight Riders ahead of the upcoming season of the IPL. Earlier this year, Shreyas had undergone back surgery, and he made his comeback with the Indian team in the Asia Cup 2023. The 29-year-old was in the best form of his life in the recently concluded ODI World Cup but was not able to help India lift their third ICC World Cup Trophy.



Regarding Shreyas Iyer?s comeback as the captain for KKR, Ceo Venky Mysore, in a press release for the Knight Riders on X, said, It was pretty unfortunate that Shreyas missed IPL 2023 due to an injury, and we are glad that he?s back and at the helm as captain. The way he has worked hard to recover from his injury and the form he has displayed is a testament to his character. ?



"We are also grateful that Nitish agreed to step into Shreyas?s shoes last season and did a great job. There?s no doubt Nitish, as vice captain, will support Shreyas in every possible way for the benefit of Team KKR.?

Skipper Shreyas Iyer praised Nitish Rana and said, ?I believe the last season presented us with several challenges, including my absence due to injury. Nitish did a great job, not only filling in for me but also with his commendable leadership. I am delighted that KKR has named him vice captain. No doubt it will strengthen the leadership group.?



The Knight Riders would be hoping that Skipper Shreyas Iyer can help the team lift their 3rd IPL trophy in 2024.

IPL 2024 Breaking News: Shreyas Iyer returns as the captain of KKR for IPL 2024, and Nitish Rana set to become the?vice?captain

IPL 2024: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is searching for title sponsors ahead of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). According to a report from Cricbuzz, the BCCI has rolled out strict conditions that the bidders must follow. The apex council has said that no Chinese companies or bidders will be allowed to bid for the title sponsorship rights of the Indian Premier League.



The reason behind not allowing Chinese brands to bid for the title sponsorship rights is the tense border relations between India and China. Vivo was the last Chinese brand to hold the IPL title sponsorship rights between 2018 and 2022, but due to border issues between India and China, the BCCI kept Vivo?s sponsorship for IPL 2020 on hold, and Dream 11 took over as the title sponsor in 2020. Vivo returned for IPL 2021, but the Tata Group took over from Vivo for IPL 2022 and IPL 2023.



"While no specific nations or brands have been cited specifically, the BCCI's decision is based on public outrage and a bad experience with Vivo, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer. "This situation emerged as a result of the border dispute between India and China. As a result, Vivo elected to terminate the 5-year sponsorship agreement, giving the rights to the Tata Group," according to Cricbuzz.



The BCCI even mentioned that, along with Chinese brands, they will not allow brands that are associated with fantasy games, betting apps and websites, alcohol, tobacco, sportswear, or cryptocurrency trading to bid for the title sponsorship rights of the IPL.



Despite a not-so-encouraging response to the sponsorship tender, the BCCI is keeping their heads up and is expecting reputable brands to bid for title rights thanks to the tremendous brand value of the Indian Premier League. The winner of the bidding would get bidding rights for 5 years (IPL 2024-2028), and the bidding process is expected to start between the 13th and 14th of January. The reserve price for the title rights is 360 crore rupees per year, and interested parties can purchase the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document until January 8th.



The Invitation to Tender (ITT) has a critical phrase that states, Each bidder shall not be incorporated in a jurisdiction or territory with which India does not have good relations." If any corporate entity that is a shareholder or proposed shareholder in the bidder is incorporated in a jurisdiction or territory with which India does not have friendly relations, the bidder will be required to provide a detailed chart of the shareholding in such bidder or its ultimate parent company, as well as the ultimate owners and beneficiaries of all shareholders that are body corporate in such bidder or its ultimate parent company, along with the bid document.

The special initiative marked a revolutionary move from new ICC Chairman Jay Shah and was backed by the Indian Cricket Board, BCCI. This green band signifies an awareness program on the importance of organ donation. 
Before the beginning of the match, Indian head coach <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautam_Gambhir">Gautam Gambhir</a> decided to pledge his organs to the ‘Get a Life’ campaign, a unique resolve to spread awareness for the donation of organs.

As a result of this campaign, Gunjan Umang Dani and Deepti Vimal Shah, two of the organ recipients, accompanied the two skippers of the Indian and English teams during the toss. This raises the information about organizing the organ donation drive in the city of Ahmedabad.

The morning of 12th February started off on the worst possible note for Indian fans as they were shocked after hearing the news of Team India's elite seamer Jasprit Bumrah being ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025. A lot of fans were really sad and unhappy but something else happened which triggered them even more. 
The National Cricket Academy (NCA) revealed the medical report of the pacer and as soon as the report came out, a stir was created on social media. It's reported that Bumrah is completely fit and despite this, he has been excluded from Team India's squad for the marquee ICC event of this year. Let's take a look at who is the person responsible behind taking such a huge call. 
<h2>Bumrah is completely fit</h2>
The NCA is the place where injured Indian players go to complete their rehabilitation under the supervision of a highly skilled medical team and Bumrah was present at the NCA too. According to a news report of the PTI, the NCA had declared the 31-year-old completely fit, however, match fitness of the pacer was a completely different benchmark of concern. 
According to the report, Bumrah has not yet bowled with full intensity in a competitive environment, due to which fielding him in the tournament was a huge risk &amp; gamble. 
<h2>Who took the decision of leaving out Bumrah? </h2>
A top official of the BCCI told PTI, " His (Bumrah) medical scan report was clear and he had completed his rehabilitation process as per schedule. However, the NCA let the selectors make the final decision on the inclusion of Bumrah in the team as he had not taken part in any sort of match-condition". 
In accordance to this statement, we get to know that the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is the one who decided to leave out Bumrah from the Champions Trophy squad as they didn't want to take a risk with him and feared he might pick up a bigger injury. 
<h2>Who has replaced Jasprit in India's Champions Trophy squad? </h2>
On the night of February 11, the BCCI gave an update on the changes in the Champions Trophy. Declaring Jasprit Bumrah injured, the BCCI has included Harshit Rana in the squad in his place. Apart from this, young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal was also dropped from the squad, but Varun Chakraborty got a chance in his place. Shivam Dube is also not a part of the team.
<h2>Champions Trophy 2025: Team India's full confirmed squad</h2>
Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (WK), Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill (Vice-Captain), Rishabh Pant (WK), Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Shami and Varun Chakaravarthy.

Indian superstar batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubman_Gill">Shubman Gill</a> made a statement comeback to ODI cricket ever since his return to the format after a long gap against England in the ongoing 3-match ODI series. The opening batter has been a star performer for India, gearing up for the big fifties and Player of the Match awards. 
Coming with already the series won with a 2-0 lead at Cuttack, Gill seemed filled with confidence on a track of the Narendra Modi Stadium to which he is well adapted. Shubman scored a stellar hundred after almost 14 innings or, more notably, 500+ days without scoring a ton in the 50-over format internationally. 
<h2 dir="ltr">5 records broken or made by Shubman Gill in ODIs at Ahmedabad:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Fastest to 2500 runs in One-Day International cricket </h3>

The Indian opener surpassed the previous record of legendary Protea batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashim_Amla">Hashim Amla</a> in scoring the fastest 2500 runs in international ODI cricket. Amla, who achieved it in 51 innings, was surpassed by Gill, who completed his 2500 runs in just his 50th ODI match. 
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Fastest Indian to complete 7 ODI hundreds</h3>
Shubman Gill is now the fastest among Indian batters to have reached the milestone of 7 ODI hundreds in international cricket. He has played the last innings to reach this great feat, as he is also the second world batter currently to have scored the most hundreds with all formats combined ever since 2023, leveled with Joe Root with 13 hundreds overall.

<h3 dir="ltr">4. Fourth to score a hundred across three formats in a single venue</h3>

Shubman Gill also became the fifth batter in the world to have acquired this unique record of having scored centuries across all formats at a specific venue. Gill joined the elite list of batters, David Warner [Adelaide Oval], Quinton de Kock [Centurion], Faf du Plessis [Wanderers], and Babar Azam [Karachi], to have scored 100 at the same venue at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. 
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Only Indian batter to score a hundred in his 50th ODI</h3>
