Gill, who scored 890 runs during IPL 2023 and is among the top-10 batters in the current list believes that if he is "picked" it will be another chance for him to take a shot at glory

If I think only about T20 World Cup selection, I am doing injustice to my team: Shubman Gill | IPL 2024

There is no bigger honour than representing India in the T20 World Cup but as Gujarat Titans’ skipper, Shubman Gill feels that he will be "doing injustice to himself and his team" if national selection occupies his mind.

Gill, who scored 890 runs during IPL 2023 and is among the top-10 batters in the current list believes that if he is "picked" it will be another chance for him to take a shot at glory

There is no bigger honour than representing India in the T20 World Cup but as Gujarat Titans&rsquo; skipper, Shubman Gill feels that he will be "doing injustice to himself and his team" if national selection occupies his mind.
The 24-year-old, who scored 890 runs during IPL 2023 and is among the top-10 batters in the current list believes that if he is "picked" it will be another chance for him to take a shot at glory.
If he is not picked, then he will wish the selected 15 the very best from the bottom of his heart.
&ldquo;Playing for India is the biggest thing. But if I start thinking about the World Cup, then I will be doing injustice to my current team (GT) and myself.
&ldquo;If I have to be picked for the T20 World Cup, I will be picked. But right now, my focus is on IPL and how to get the best out of my team and perform the best for my team which also helps my players,&rdquo; Gill told PTI in an interview.
For any player appearing in a World Cup is a dream, but Gill is learning the art of controlling the controllables.
&ldquo;Obviously as a player, I want to be there and play the World Cup and get that opportunity to represent my country at the highest level &ndash; the biggest stage of T20 cricket.
&ldquo;Having played in a World Cup last year, I have had my share of experiences, and it would be great to be able to play another World Cup. But I am not thinking that far ahead,&rdquo; he added.
But he didn't forget to mention &ndash; ever so subtly &ndash; that he has a body of performance built over two seasons.
&ldquo;I have scored almost 900 runs last season and if I had to be picked, I will be picked if not (then) best of luck to those who are picked,&rdquo; Gill said.
Captaining Titans is Gill's first tryst with leadership and perhaps through its prism, he is also learning more about 'Shubman-The Human'.
&ldquo;It's now exactly one month and its (captaincy) been good for me. I have learnt a lot of new things about myself, and about the team, which has been very interesting so far,&rdquo; he said.
When asked to elaborate, he spoke about how trust is a two-way street built on shared vulnerabilities of the leader and his contingent.
&ldquo;When you are just a player you are just thinking in terms of how you can help the team in terms of batting and fielding but when you are the captain, you also need to find a way to get the best out of players.
&ldquo;I need to gain their trust in order to get the best out of them, I need to show my vulnerability so that they can show theirs and you are always thinking more about others than yourself. You become more giving, feel good about yourself," he said.
It is not always easy to lead a side after two fantastic seasons where the team played back-to-back finals under Hardik Pandya, winning the inaugural season in 2022 and finishing second best last year.
So, does it become difficult to create his own footprints in a space created by Hardik and how does head coach Ashish Nehra help him ease into the role? His answer was an interesting one.
&ldquo;I think in that legacy that Gujarat Titans built, Ashish Nehra had more of a role to play,&rdquo; pat came the reply.
&ldquo;Obviously, under Hardik bhai, this team had nothing but success, but I am not thinking about what's gone in the last couple of seasons because that's history.
&ldquo;What my focus is right now is how we can get into the play off and in the play-off, it's then just about one match.
&ldquo;And we are a team that experienced success and know how to play big matches and be a better team in pressure situations,&rdquo; he sounded hopeful of GT&rsquo;s play-off qualification.
It has been a steady rise to stardom for the 'Crown Prince' of Indian batting, who is expected to carry the mantle once leading light Virat Kohli decides to hang his boots.
How does he look at fame and success? &ldquo;Success very much defines who you are but it doesn't teach you anything. Success can merely boost your ego and it&rsquo;s your failures that teach you and you need that in order to grow,&rdquo; he concluded.

While Virat Kohli laid the foundation with a 43-ball-51, Rajat Patidar smashed his second-consecutive half-century off just 19 balls, the 2nd-quickest for RCB in the history of the IPL.

IPL 2024, SRH vs RCB: Bengaluru stun Hyderabad, end 6-match losing run

RCB fans finally had something to cheer for as RCB ended their 6-match losing run and beat the SRH by 35 runs on Thursday.

While Virat Kohli laid the foundation with a 43-ball-51, Rajat Patidar smashed his second-consecutive half-century off just 19 balls, the 2nd-quickest for RCB in the history of the IPL.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans finally had something to cheer for as RCB ended their 6-match losing run and beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 35 runs on Thursday.
Faf du Plessis' decision to not let SRH bat first was the right call as Bengaluru finished at 206/7.
While Virat Kohli laid the foundation with a 43-ball-51, Rajat Patidar smashed his second-consecutive half-century off just 19 balls, the 2nd-quickest for RCB in the history of the IPL.
SRH had a rather unusual run-chase as in-form Travis Head was dismissed for just 1 in the very first over.
His partner in crime Abhishek Sharma counter-attacked but his innings was cut short on a 13-ball-31.
Aiden Markram and a dangerous Heinrich Klaasen also fell in the same over as RCB debutant Swapnil Singh got rid of the two.
The hosts never recovered from that and could only manage 171/8 in reply. As a result, SRH were handed their first loss in 5 matches.

Patidar smashed his 2nd-consecutive half-century of the season off just 19 balls. It was also his 3rd score of over fifty in the last 4 outings.

Rajat Patidar has found explosive form in the recent matches in IPL 2024 and SRH got a first-hand experience of it. Watch the RCB batter smash 4 consecutive sixes.

Patidar smashed his 2nd-consecutive half-century of the season off just 19 balls. It was also his 3rd score of over fifty in the last 4 outings.

Rajat Patidar has found explosive form in the recent matches in IPL 2024 and the Sunrisers Hyderabad got a first-hand experience of it on Thursday.
The youngster smashed his 2nd-consecutive half-century of the season off just 19 balls. It was also his 3rd score of over fifty in the last 4 outings.
Rajat's knock on Thursday was laced with 5 sixes and 2 boundaries. Interestingly, 4 of those maximums came off consecutive deliveries against Mayank Markande in the 11th over.

He walked out to bat with RCB at 65/2 in 7 overs and stitched a 34-ball-65-run partnership with Virat Kohli.
Despite him getting out straight after his fifty, Patidar took the pressure off Virat and helped RCB drastically improve the scoring rate.
Earlier, Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to bat against SRH.
For the Sunrisers, Jaydev Unadkat came in for Washington Sundar, while RCB fielded the same team.
Bottom-placed RCB are on a six-match losing streak, while SRH has won their last four games to be placed in the third spot.

Delhi Capitals have been unable to fix their overseas combinations till now, with Jake Fraser-McGurk the only non-Indian player assured of a place in the lineup currently.

IPL 2024: Delhi Capitals sign Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib as Mitchell Marsh's replacement

The Delhi Capitals have signed Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib for the remainder of IPL 2024.

#GulbadinNaib #IPL2024 #DC

<h2>Delhi Capitals have been unable to fix their overseas combinations till now, with Jake Fraser-McGurk the only non-Indian player assured of a place in the lineup currently.</h2>

The Delhi Capitals have officially brought in Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib to bolster their squad for the remaining matches of IPL 2024. This strategic move comes following the season-ending injury to key player Mitchell Marsh, who has returned home due to a hamstring injury.
At 33 years old, Naib is set to fill the void left by Marsh. His extensive experience in T20 cricket will be invaluable to the Delhi Capitals, who find themselves in the middle of the points table and in need of a boost to secure a playoff spot. Naib, who has represented Afghanistan in 65 T20 Internationals, boasts a batting average of 21 and a strike rate of 125. On the bowling front, he has secured 26 wickets across 40 innings, demonstrating his capabilities as a versatile all-rounder.
The timing of Marsh's injury was particularly unfortunate for the Delhi Capitals, given the proximity of the T20 World Cup. Naib's recruitment is seen as a critical step to ensure the team remains competitive in the ongoing tournament.
Currently, the Delhi Capitals are positioned 6th on the IPL 2024 points table, having accumulated 8 points from 9 games. The addition of Naib is expected to provide the team with added depth and flexibility, allowing them to adapt their strategy as they push for a better standing in the upcoming matches.
Delhi Capitals have been unable to fix their overseas combinations till now, with Jake Fraser-McGurk the only non-Indian player assured of a place in the lineup currently. Naib's all-round skills will likely be utilized to stabilize the middle order and strengthen the bowling lineup, areas that have posed challenges for the team this season.

Starc reportedly sustained a finger injury on his bowling hand during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Is Mitchell Starc injured? Ramandeep Singh gives a huge update | IPL 2024, KKR vs PBKS

As Mitchell Starc indulged in just light training sessions ahead of the KKR vs PBKS game, Ramandeep Singh gave a huge update on the star pacer's fitness.

Starc reportedly sustained a finger injury on his bowling hand during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Mitchell Starc has no injury concern and is "available" for selection, Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Ramandeep Singh clarified even as the star pacer indulged in just light training sessions ahead of their IPL clash against Punjab Kings.
The Australian cricketer, who attracted a record bid, did not have the kind of return to the league after eight years he would have hoped as he has leaked plenty of runs this season and has managed just six wickets.
The left-arm quick also reportedly sustained a finger injury on his bowling hand during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Starc did not bowl at the nets in their two practice sessions ahead of their match against PBKS, while Sri Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chameera was seen slogging it out, fuelling speculation that the Aussie may be "rested".
But Ramandeep said Starc was available for selection.
"Yes, he's available. It's got to do with his workload management," Ramandeep said. "He is a legend. Cricket is a game of time. We can't judge him from a few matches," he said.
With Starc going through a poor patch, the bowling unit has come under pressure but Ramandeep said, "There has been no discussion on bowling." "We just discus about execution and plan and how to improve further. We don't' judge someone in one or two matches." With five wins in seven matches, KKR occupy the second spot in the 10-team table and are well placed to finish in top-two.
"We are going for one game at a time. We are just focused on Punjab match, not thinking about finishing top two at the moment," Ramandeep said.
He further credited team mentor Gautam Gambhir for their consistent show this season.
"Everyone has a lot of clarity. It's only because of him the team is performing so well. He is backing everyone," he said.&nbsp;

Punjab Kings might receive a major boost in the form of captain Shikhar Dhawan returning to the playing XI, having missed the last 3 games for the franchise due to a shoulder injury.

IPL 2024: KKR vs PBKS preview - Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings form guide, head-to-head record, team changes, weather, probable XI

The dominant Kolkata Knight Riders will look to close the gap with table-toppers Rajasthan Royals, when they face the perennial underachievers Punjab Kings in #IPL2024 on Friday evening.

<h2>Captain Shikhar Dhawan will miss his 4th consecutive game for the Punjab Kings, with the visitors winless ever since he dropped out of the side due to his shoulder injury.</h2>

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), currently sitting comfortably in the top half of the standings, are gearing up to face the inconsistent Punjab Kings. This matchup is crucial for KKR as they aim to solidify their place near the top of the table, just four points behind the Rajasthan Royals. The match will also put KKR's costliest acquisition, Mitchell Starc, under the spotlight as he looks to improve his performance and justify his hefty price tag.
KKR's journey so far in the tournament has been significantly bolstered by their batting lineup. Top-order batters such as Sunil Narine and Phil Salt have delivered explosive starts, setting the stage for middle-order hitters like Andre Russell and captain Shreyas Iyer. Despite Iyer's relatively moderate strike rate of 126.66, his strategic contributions continue to be vital for the team. Additionally, Rinku Singh, despite limited opportunities, has managed a strike rate nearing 160, showcasing the depth and firepower within the KKR squad.
However, the team has faced setbacks, including Nitish Rana's finger fracture, which has deprived them of a key player against spin and a useful part-time bowler. This loss adds pressure on the remaining lineup to compensate, particularly in handling spin attacks.
On the bowling front, Sunil Narine remains a standout performer with an economy rate just above 7, an impressive feat in the current high-scoring environment. Nevertheless, even Narine has shown signs of vulnerability, particularly highlighted by Rajat Patidar's aggressive play in a recent outing. This vulnerability is a concern for KKR as they face a Punjab team with capable hitters like Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh, who have been in formidable form this season.
Mitchell Starc, in particular, faces intense scrutiny. His underperformance, characterized by an economy rate of 11.48, is alarming for a player bought at a record price of approximately USD 3 million. Starc's struggle to adapt his style to the demands of T20 cricket, especially at crucial death overs, is a glaring issue. He will need to diversify his bowling tactics, potentially incorporating slower deliveries to deceive batsmen.
As KKR prepares to face Punjab Kings, the contrast in team dynamics is stark. While KKR's strength lies in their robust top-order batting, Punjab has often relied on their uncapped players to rescue them from difficult situations. The absence of their captain Shikhar Dhawan has further weakened the visitors' batting.
Team News
While KKR are unlikely to make any changes, PBKS captain Shikhar Dhawan is still nursing a shoulder injury and won't be available for this contest. It will be the 4th consecutive game he'll miss for PBKS.
Head-to-Head record
Historically, the KKR-PBKS clash has been a one-sided affair, with KKR winning 21 contests compared to Punjab's 11.
Weather Report
Hot and humid is what you get in Kolkata during the summers. With temperatures crossing 40&deg;C during the day, expect the evening to be a little better but still pretty warm. Despite a threat of a few showers during the day, we should get a full game.
Probable XIs

Shikhar Dhawan update: Punjab Kings skipper to miss KKR game, confirms PBKS spin bowling coach Sunil Joshi

Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan, who is nursing a shoulder injury, was ruled out of Friday's IPL match against KKR. Here is when he may return

Dhawan last played against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 9 and since then he missed three matches with Sam Curran stepping in as the captain.

Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan, who is nursing a shoulder injury, was ruled out of Friday's IPL match against the Kolkata Knight Riders and the team is hoping for his return against Chennai Super Kings on May 1.
The 38-year-old last played against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 9 and since then he missed three matches with Sam Curran stepping in as the captain.
PBKS spin bowling coach Sunil Joshi said Dhawan is on a recovery course and the left-hander could possibly make a return in their next game in Chennai.
"He was in form and we really missed his batting services. We saw him batting yesterday, going through the nets and everything," Joshi said on the eve of their match against KKR.
"He is on the road to recovery. Hopefully, he should be fit for the next game (against CSK)," he said.
PBKS have failed to fire as a batting unit and are ninth on the table with four points from eight matches.
Wicket-keeper batter Jitesh Sharma has been one of the biggest letdowns for PBKS in the ongoing IPL.
From being in contention as one of India's first-choice wicketkeepers, Sharma has slowly gone off the radar with just 128 runs from eight innings at an average of 16.00 and a modest strike rate of 125.49 in this IPL.
His highest score this season has been 29 and in three matches he has not been able to cross single digits.
Joshi blamed it on being "haunted" by the pressure of performing to meet the expectations.
"Jitesh is a quality batter and we all know that the time has come for him to fire tomorrow. And yes, of course, there are multiple players in the whole IPL.
"They are all eager to be in the T20 World Cup squad. But at times, most of the players are in that phase that (the thought of) making it to the Indian team will always keep haunting. So, it's about focusing on basic, right things."
Asked what's his message to Sharma, he said: "Finally, you got to perform. You have to look at one ball at a time, you can't look beyond. You're playing in IPL, you got to focus on match by match, ball by ball, rest leave it to the selectors." Joshi further said the pressure would be on KKR to perform and win playing at home as they would look to "play freely".
"We've come out of home. The pressure should be on the home team now so we can play freely and get runs," he said.

In a video shot by a fan, Rinku was asked if he got the bat, to which the KKR star replied with a nod and even showed the bat.

Recently, a video went viral on social media where Rinku was chatting with Virat after practice. The youngster told the RCB legend that he had broken the bat, which was gifted to him by Virat.&nbsp;
To that, Kohli sarcastically thanked Rinku for letting him know about the broken bat and walked away without giving him a second bat.
Rinku was also spotted following Kohli after the KKR vs RCB game and it seems that his mission has been accomplished.

This is not Guy Whittall's first brush with potentially deadly wildlife. In a bizarre incident nearly a decade earlier, he discovered an eight-foot crocodile lurking quietly under his bed after a night's sleep,

Guy Whittall: Former Zimbabwe cricketer survives fierce leopard attack, decade after crocodile encounter

<h2>This is not Guy Whittall's first brush with potentially deadly wildlife. In a bizarre incident nearly a decade earlier, he discovered an eight-foot crocodile lurking quietly under his bed after a night's sleep,</h2>

Former Zimbabwean cricketer Guy Whittall has once again faced a life-threatening encounter with a wild animal, this time surviving a brutal attack by a leopard while trekking through a conservancy he manages in the Humani region. However, this was not the first time Whittall had encountered deadly wildlife. The 51-year-old, who previously woke up to find a crocodile under his bed in 2013, sustained serious injuries from the attack, necessitating emergency surgery.
The incident unfolded while Whittall was accompanied by his loyal dog Chikara, who also suffered injuries in the effort to defend his owner. The dramatic confrontation left Whittall bloodied and in urgent need of medical attention. He was initially stabilized at the nearby Hippo Clinic by the diligent medical staff before being airlifted to Harare for further treatment.
Hannah Stooks-Whittall, Whittall&rsquo;s wife, provided a detailed account of the harrowing experience on her Facebook page. She described the sequence of events leading to her husband's emergency airlift and subsequent hospital transfer. &ldquo;...Guy&rsquo;s run in with a wounded leopard earlier today. We are very fortunate that he was stabilized at Hippo Clinic by wonderful staff. He was then airlifted from Buffalo Range by ace ambulance to Harare, then transferred to Milton Park Hospital for treatment. He is currently awaiting surgery tomorrow morning as he lost a lot of blood today,&rdquo; she detailed in her post.
Reflecting on the incident, Hannah also spoke to MailOnline, expressing her relief and amazement at her husband's fortune in surviving yet another dangerous wildlife encounter. "He really is one lucky man," she said. "First he had the crocodile and now the leopard, he really is the cat with nine lives."
This is not Whittall's first brush with potentially deadly wildlife. In a bizarre incident nearly a decade earlier, he discovered an eight-foot crocodile lurking quietly under his bed after a night's sleep, only becoming aware of his unexpected guest when his housemaid screamed in fright.

In a press conference, the city's police chief revealed that the entirety of the opening ceremony parade route will be inside a high-security zone known as an anti-terrorism perimeter

Anti-terrorism measures to be in place for Paris 2024 opening ceremony; security checks for residents too

In a press conference, the city's police chief revealed that the entirety of the opening ceremony parade route will be inside a high-security zone known as an anti-terrorism perimeter

Special anti-terrorism measures being put in place to safeguard the unprecedented opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics on the River Seine will also apply to all buildings along the route, meaning people who work and live there and their guests will be subjected to background security checks, Paris police chief Laurent Nunez said on Thursday.
Those affected will be cross-checked against security services' databases, to see whether they have previously been flagged as suspected Islamist extremists or for other radicalism, Nunez said.
The wildly ambitious July 26 ceremony is proving to be a gargantuan security challenge. Athletes will be paraded through the heart of the French capital on 94 boats along a six-kilometre (nearly four-mile) stretch of the Seine, from east to west. They will be accompanied by 87 other boats for security, media and other people.
All of the parade route will be inside a high-security zone that Nunez described as an "anti-terrorism perimeter". He said it will include the first row of buildings along the route.
"We wanted to include in the perimeter all of the buildings that have a view on the parade," Nunez said.
The zone will be put in place from July 18 and be extended even further along both banks of the river on July 26, in the final hours before the evening ceremony.
Anyone who wants to enter the zone in the eight days before the ceremony and on July 26 itself will need to pre-register online and will "systematically" be subjected to the background security checks known in France as an "administrative investigation", Nunez said.
Those affected will include people who work and live inside the perimeter, as well as their guests, and people going to hotels or restaurants inside the zone, he said.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said about 20,000 people live and work inside the perimeter. In the days before the ceremony, there will be places to cross the river and ways to visit the Louvre and other museums along the river without having to enter the security zone.
Nunez said the security check for those affected will not include searching through their communications. "It is not as intrusive as that," he said.
"We verify if the person is known in a certain number of intelligence files," he said.
Anyone flagged by the checks could be barred from the zone. "It will obviously be case by case," Nunez said.
Ticket-holders for the ceremony will not need to pre-register on the online platform that will open on May 10. But Nunez said French intelligence services can do checks on them, too.
Separately, the top administrative official for the Paris region, Prefect Marc Guillaume, pledged that tests on the water quality in the Seine will be made public, without specifying when or how regularly.
Marathon swimmers and Olympic and Paralympic triathletes are scheduled to race in the river, which is being cleaned up for the Games. From July 1, samples will be collected from 36 spots on the river and its tributary, the Marne, Guillaume said.
"We will be totally transparent about our results," he said.

For the hosts, Cummins stated that it was not an ideal night but his team has been doing very well and added that it is T20 cricket, you are not going to win every game.

Pat Cummins admits batting strong suit but won't work every time after SRH stunned by 35-run loss | IPL

For the hosts, Cummins stated that it was not an ideal night but his team has been doing very well and added that it is T20 cricket, you are not going to win every game.

The high-cruising Sunrisers Hyderabad were stunned by Royal Challengers Bengaluru after the visitors defeated them by 35 runs in Hyderabad on Thursday.&nbsp; Chasing 207, Sunrisers Hyderabad's ultra aggressive approach with the bat backfired as they were 69-5 in 8th over and couldn't recover thereafter.
"Not an ideal night. Few over par with the ball and unfortunately lost a few wickets throughout our innings. We were gonna bat first, it seems to be working for us. Before the last few wins, we were thinking that we were a bowl-first team," Pat Cummins, SRH captain, said.
"The boys have been going really well, it's T20 cricket, you are not going to win every game. Don't dwell on this too much." Talking about their high risk and high reward approach with the bat, Cummins said: "I think it's our strong suit. It's not going to work every game. One or two games where it hasn't gone our way at the start, we still managed to get a good total. Still think this is the way forward for our boys."

This was SRH's first loss in four games and came at a time when the Pat Cummins-led team had been on a high, knocking down opponents one game at a time.

This was SRH's first loss in four games and came at a time when the Pat Cummins-led team had been on a high, knocking down opponents one game at a time.&nbsp;

The seemingly invincible Sunrisers Hyderabad were handed a shock defeat by bottom-placed Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home on Thursday.&nbsp; The hosts failed to chase down a 207-run target after being asked to field first. This was SRH's first loss in four games and came at a time when the Pat Cummins-led team had been on a high, knocking down opponents one game at a time.&nbsp; At the post-match press conference, head coach Daniel Vettori lamented the lack of wickets at SRH's disposal as one of the reasons for the loss, 'Obviously a disappointing one from where we've come from in the last four games to play some really good cricket. And even though we lost you could see that if we had some wickets at the back end, we could have still chased it down.'&nbsp; After losing Travis Head early on, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen failed to make inroads while Aiden Markram too departed early.&nbsp; With no runs on the board, the responsibility fell on the lower-order's shoulders and if any of the SRH batters could have managed to preserve their wicket, the chase would have been possible.&nbsp; 'Shahbaz (Ahmed) showed you were able to score, Patty (Cummins) showed it was able to score so just those early wickets really broke everything for RCB who bowled exceptionally well,' Vettori added.&nbsp;

So just happy to be through and (I) wish him all the best for the future.'&nbsp; The 37-year-old is playing the Madrid Open for the last time in his career, 'For me, after how things... developed in the last few years, every time that I had a chance to be on court, on this amazing stadium with... unconditionally supportive crowd. It means a lot to me. So I'm just trying to enjoy every moment. And tomorrow, one more day of practice here and after tomorrow again on court. So that makes me feel great.'&nbsp;
