<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="hyderabad-vs-lucknow-match-preview">Hyderabad vs Lucknow Match Preview</h2>



The race for the IPL 2024 playoffs is heating as we head to the climax of the business end of the tournament. While Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are comfortably seated in the top two spots, the remaining two are still up for grabs. Notably, KKR and RR have also not officially qualified, however, they are likely to march ahead without any major difficulty.



Meanwhile, the battle for the third and fourth spots is getting intense which is where Lucknow and Hyderabad want a seat in. With 6 wins from 11 matches, both LSG and SRH are placed in the top half of the points table.



SRH began their IPL 2024 campaign on a solid note with a string of heavy first innings totals, however, it has failed to sustain for longer. Although, Travis Head has continued to whack the opposition with the same tempo, the likes of Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen haven't really fired in the last few matches. However, their bowling stocks have gone up significantly with Pat Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan bowling in tandem. 



With just a solitary win from the last four outings, SRH desperately needs a win to bring their IPL 2024 campaign back on track as the race for the playoff heats.



On the other side, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are also having a similar kind of run in the tournament. The KL Rahul-led side started off with multiple wins on the bounce, but it certainly didn't go for long. They have been hit by a few injury concerns, the major one being to Mayank Yadav, their pace revelation.



Skipper KL Rahul has also not found his mojo with the bat, although, he has a few good scores, but impactful performances are still hidden. LSG has got two wins and as many losses in their last four fixtures and they too desperately need a winning momentum.

IPL Points Table: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have ripped apart Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and their campaign in the ongoing IPL 2024 following their impeccable batting display at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. A comprehensive 10-wicket win is what SRH have bagged against LSG and they subsequently have moved to the third place in the IPL Points Table.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SRH vs LSG Match Highlights</h2>

Sometimes people fall short of words to describe what they saw, and today is one such moment for every cricket fan. It's nothing less than a flawless display of bowling supplemented with fierce batting by the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).



The two SRH openers - Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma - have just made a mockery of the LSG bowlers. There's no exaggeration as I say Lucknow was never in a contest against SRH as this game progressed.



The two SRH batters wreaked havoc with their blitz batting display and hunted down a total of 165 runs in just 9.4 overs with no loss of wicket. While Abhishek Sharma remained unbeaten at 28-ball 75, Travis Head scored 89* runs in 30 deliveries.



Earlier in the game, LSG managed to score 165 runs in 20 overs after losing 4 wickets. The KL Rahul-led side failed to get a solid start to their innings and got an unwanted record to their name. LSG became the side to have the lowest powerplay total (27 runs) in the IPL 2024.



Despite the early jolts, LSG somehow managed to recover and post a respectable total against SRH. The likes of Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni stitched a gritty 99-run partnership to take LSG to some defendable total.



Pooran played a fine 26-ball 48-run knock while young Ayush Badoni remained unbeaten at a score of 30-ball 55 runs.



However, in the end, the score looked meagre and scarce against the packed SRH batting lineup, which never shies on notching up big scores with such ease. 



Let's have a look at the IPL Points Table (Updated) On 8th MAY after SRH vs LSG:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IPL Points Table (Updated) after SRH vs LSG</h2>



Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have made their way ahead for the IPL playoff quite easy with a sublime win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 10 wickets. SRH moved to third place in the IPL Points Table following the win with 14 points from 12 matches. Their massive win against LSG has also boosted their net run rate, which currently stands at - 0.406.



On the other side, LSG continues to slip after their initial dominance in the IPL 2024. The KL Rahul-led side has suffered their third loss in the last four games and it surely isn't a good time to have those. Currently, they are seated in sixth place in the IPL Points Table with 12 points from as many matches.



Meanwhile, in a big development, Mumbai Indians (MI) became the first side in the IPL 2024 to get eliminated. SRH's win has ensured that they don't get a chance to contest for the playoff spot anymore.

Indian Cricket Team batter Shubman Gill is all set to become the next ODI captain of the team. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that the young batter will be replacing Rohit Sharma as the skipper of the team after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill was included in the Indian team leadership group after the T20 World Cup 2024. The young batter was appointed as the vice-captain of the team in the ODIs as well as the T20Is, and it is expected that he will perform the role of vice-captain in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
There have been several reports that claimed that the Indian team is all set to have a new captain after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It was learned that Rohit Sharma himself said that he would stay captain till the BCCI found the new captain and vowed that he would support the new captain. 
Although Shubman Gill has been struggling with his form of late, the potential that he has and the ability that he has, he is touted as the future of Indian Cricket. He has also been leading the team in the IPL as well and will be captaining Gujarat Titans in the next season as well.
Shubman Gill being named as the next captain of India means it will be a massive step forward for the team. The transition peddle is all set to be pressed after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 with some big steps being taken along with the call on the future of young players. 
The reports also claimed that Shubman Gill is all set to play in the second round of Ranji Trophy 2024-25. He will be playing for Punjab in the game against Karnatka, starting 23rd January. 
<h2>The India team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced on 19th January</h2>
The India team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be announced on 19th January. Rohit Sharma is all set to captain the team while Shubman Gill is expected to be his deputy. Some of the young players, too, are likely to be named in the squad. 
The India team is currently mulling over the fitness reports of Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. While the wrist spinner is expected to be fit by 25th January, the fast bowler is all set to miss the league stage of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and might be available for the knockout stage of the tournament.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is scheduled to start on February 19, with the best 8 teams in the world competing to become the champions. Pakistan hold the trophy, and they are the official host of the tournament. The initial stage will see two groups with four teams each, and the top two ranked teams from both groups will qualify for the semis.
India and Pakistan are placed in Group A along with New Zealand and Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Australia and England are in Group B with South Africa and Afghanistan. This edition is taking place after a wait of over 7 years, which is why the excitement for the coming event has peaked.
These are the 8 best teams in the world, which will set the standard of competition very high. All teams have the capabilities to win the tournament, which makes it hard to predict the winner. However, young Kiwi star Rachin Ravindra, who will feature in the competition for New Zealand, has made a bold prediction for the finalists of the competition.
<h2>Rachin Ravindra leaves out India and Pakistan as he makes predictions for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 finalists</h2>
Rachin Ravindra was the find of the 2023 ODI World Cup for New Zealand when he topped the run-scoring chart for his team. He showed great applications of playing long and impactful innings in the subcontinent. Since then, he has become a permanent member of the New Zealand team across all three formats. His form will be a key for the Black Caps in the coming event.
New Zealand will start their campaign with a game against Pakistan in the tournament's opener on February 19 at National Stadium in Karachi. Meanwhile, in a recent conversation on the ICC, Rachin revealed his excitement to represent New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. When asked about the probably finalists, he picked New Zealand and Australia.
Rachin said, "It’s always very hard to predict (finalists) that because you always want to say New Zealand because you’re involved. So hopefully we’re there. It’s pretty hard to count out people like Australia. They’ve shown how strong they are in all formats. Current holders of the ODI World Cup too. So hopefully it’ll be a Trans-Tasman derby."
Notably, India are the No. 1 ranked ODI team and played in the final of the Champions Trophy 2017, while Pakistan are the current champion. These two teams will have an edge of conditions.

India's poor show in the last few months have drawn a lot of criticism from all over the world. That is why the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also decided to take some hard steps going forward. India were blown away by New Zealand at home 0-3, which is the first time that Team India faced a series clean sweep at home in a Test series.
After that, they also lost the all-important Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. The hosts slammed Rohit Sharma and his men 1-3 and won the BGT trophy after a wait of ten years. As a result, India also missed the chance to make it to the final of the World Test Championship.
As a result, the BCCI is all set to punish the team and players for the nonperformance. In the review meeting held in Mumbai on Saturday, the Indian board has taken some hard steps. Some reports suggest that the players might not be allowed to take their families on the tours.
<h2>BCCI to restrict players taking their families with them on the tours - Reports</h2>
Indian captain Rohit Sharma, along with head of selection committee Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir, were available in the review meeting in Mumbai. There were major topics discussed in the meeting on India's future captaincy, recent performances, and ICC Champions Trophy squads.
Meanwhile, some media reports also indicated that the BCCI is not happy with the performance, and they will take some hard steps forward. As reported by Dainik Jagran, the BCCI might bring back the former rule where players were not allowed to take their wives or girlfriends on the tours. This rule was dumped during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Indian board believes it accompanying the family on tours affects the performances. The rule indicates that if the tour is of 45 days or more, then a player can stay with family for 14 days. Meanwhile, if the tour is shorter, then the rule is applicable for seven days. The rule also implies that all players will have to travel with the team, not alone.
A report from Indian Express also suggests that the BCCI might apply the rule of pay cut. That will be applicable on the basis of the player's performance. The report quotes, "It was suggested that players should be held accountable, and if their performances are not up to the mark, they should face variable pay reductions."

Rohit Sharma in Ranji Trophy: Team India captain Rohit Sharma is set to join Mumbai's Ranji Trophy training sessions, sparking widespread speculation about his potential return to the prestigious domestic tournament. 
The 37-year-old opener, who last played in the Ranji Trophy in 2015, is expected to train with the squad starting Tuesday, January 14, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium and Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). Mumbai’s next match, scheduled for January 23 against Jammu &amp; Kashmir, could mark Rohit’s comeback after a decade.
Rohit’s potential participation in the Ranji Trophy could serve as an opportunity to regain his rhythm and confidence ahead of upcoming international assignments. The news has sent excitement rippling through cricketing circles, with many fans eager to see the veteran batter donning Mumbai’s colors once again.

A Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) source confirmed, “Rohit will join the team’s practice sessions this week alongside Ajinkya Rahane, Shardul Thakur, and Shreyas Iyer. While he hasn’t confirmed if he will play the match against J&amp;K, his appearance at training is a positive sign.”
Rohit’s decision to return to domestic cricket aligns with the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) renewed push for national players to participate in domestic tournaments actively. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has been vocal about the importance of players staying connected with red-ball cricket at the domestic level, emphasizing it as a pathway to form and consistency.
The Indian skipper’s form has been under scrutiny following a disappointing Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign in Australia. He managed just 31 runs across five innings, with a highest score of 10. This poor run of form led to his exclusion from the final Test in Sydney, which India eventually lost, capping off a 3-1 series defeat. 
Mumbai’s Ranji team, meanwhile, has been in strong form this season. They currently sit third in Group A, with three wins, one draw, and a single loss from five matches. Led by experienced campaigners like Rahane and featuring young talents eager to make their mark, the team has its eyes set on the knockout stages. Rohit’s inclusion, even for a match or two, would undoubtedly provide a boost both on and off the field.
The buzz surrounding Rohit’s potential Ranji Trophy return has also reignited conversations about other senior players featuring in domestic cricket. 
While Rohit has taken the first step by joining training sessions, fans are curious whether stalwarts like Virat Kohli will follow suit. Kohli’s last appearance in the Ranji Trophy was in 2012, and his return to domestic cricket would further highlight the importance of nurturing red-ball cricket in India.
As speculation continues to swirl, one thing is clear: Rohit Sharma’s presence in the Ranji Trophy, even in training, is a win for Indian cricket. Whether or not he plays on January 23, his involvement underscores the value of domestic cricket as a foundation for both personal and national success.

Indian Cricket Team are mulling over the fitness of premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah and wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fitness reports of both players have been a massive concern for the BCCI as they look to name the team for the tournament. 
Jasprit Bumrah is uncertain to be in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because of the back injury that he faced in the last match against Australia, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. He has experienced back swelling and has been advised to rest. 
On the other hand, Kuldeep Yadav faced a groin injury during the home Test series against New Zealand. However, after that, he underwent surgery for the same in Germany and has been in the recovery process at the BCCI's National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. 
There were reports that India has delayed the squad announcement for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 because of this thing only as they are awaiting the fitness report of players. It was also learned that the BCCI will be naming the team on 19th January for the tournament. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah advised rest before going to NCA; Kuldeep Yadav to be declared fit by 25th January</h2>
With no clarity over the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav, a report in RevSportz has provided a huge update. It is learned that the fast bowler has been advised to take the rest first, and after that, he will be heading to NCA. While the wrist spinner is set to be declared fit by 25th January. 
Earlier, there were reports which suggested that Jasprit Bumrah's injury wasn't that serious. The fast bowler will be named in the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 but won't be playing the league games. He is expected to be fit by the first week of March and will be playing the knockout games. 
The same report also suggested that Kuldeep Yadav will be picked in the England ODIs. This is because BCCI wants the wrist spinner to be in rhythm. It was learned that if he wasn't deemed fit then there are chances that Varun Chakravarthy might be named in the team.
Kuldeep and Bumrah have been an integral part of the team in the ODIs. They played a massive role for the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and would be hoping to replicate the same in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
