Suryakumar Yadav’s spectacular catch in the T20 World Cup final sparked controversy as replays showed the boundary line might have been shifted, raising questions about the validity of the catch. Despite the controversy, India clinched the title against South Africa.
Prominent South African batter David Miller has identified Jasprit Bumrah as a major threat not just to him but to all batters in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Miller, currently playing for Gujarat Titans in the ongoing IPL, acknowledges Bumrah’s exceptional bowling form and world-class status. Bumrah’s remarkable performance in the IPL, leading the Purple Cap race, has reinforced his status as a formidable force in the upcoming tournament. Miller also praised his Gujarat Titans teammate Sai Sudharsan’s impressive season and highlighted South Africa’s determination to claim the elusive global trophy in the Americas tournament.
Delhi Capitals (DC) held their nerves to defeat Gujarat Titans (GT) in a thrilling encounter, defending 224 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Rishabh Pant’s merciless 88 and Axar Patel’s all-round performance played pivotal roles in the victory, as did young Rasikh Salam’s fearless bowling. David Miller’s power and Rashid Khan’s late blows brought GT close, but Mukesh Kumar’s composure sealed the deal for DC. With this triumph, DC moved up to sixth place in the standings, while GT slipped to seventh.
Gujarat Titans batter David Miller has become the latest player to voice criticism against the ‘Impact player’ rule in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The rule, introduced this season, allows teams to substitute a player during their innings based on match conditions. Miller, along with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, and Axar Patel, has expressed reservations about the rule, suggesting it could diminish the role of all-rounders and disrupt the traditional format of the game.
