    Mumbai Indians New Head Coach: Mumbai Indians (MI), one of the most successful teams of the world’s largest cricket league, Indian Premier League (IPL), has announced a major change by issuing a press release before IPL 2025. The franchise has appointed Paras Mhambrey, who led India to win the T20 World Cup in 2024 as the bowling coach of the team. Mhambrey will take up this big responsibility along with veteran Sri Lankan bowler Lasith Malinga. The team recently appointed Mahela Jayawardene as head coach. The franchise has recently issued a press release giving this information.

    It is noteworthy that former bowling coach of the Indian team, Paras Mhambrey has already been a part of the coaching staff of Mumbai Indians for four years. Now he has got a chance to return to the team again and take on a bigger responsibility. Mhambrey will also participate in the mega auction to be held later this year.

The dispute between the two regarding captaincy also spoiled the atmosphere of the team, which affected their game. MI won only 4 matches in the entire season and lost 10 matches, due to which the team finished last in the points table.

  • R Ashwin: Babar Azam And Virat Kohli Shouldn’t Be Mentioned In The Same Line | cricket news

    Indian spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin said on Tuesday that star Pakistan batter Babar Azam “should not be mentioned in the same line” as Indian icon Virat Kohli, delivering an interesting take in favor of his compatriot in the never-ending debate about two batting superstars of. the modern era.

    Ashwin was speaking at his Youtube Channel on Tuesday. Speaking on his channel, Ashwin backed an out-of-form Babar, who is currently rested from the remainder of the home series against England, to score runs but picked Virat’s side while comparing both.

    “Definitely, if he is given a chance, he will score runs. If there is class, that is okay. I feel we should end this debate once and for all. First of all, across the border, Babar Azam and Virat Kohli shouldn ‘t be mentioned in the same line,’ Ashwin said.

    The all-rounder said that while he rates Babar as “outstanding”, Virat’s credentials are “something else”.

    “I am very sorry, I really rate Babar Azam as an outstanding player, but Virat Kohli’s credentials are something else. Across terrains, across times, across pressure situations, the kind of heists he has done, no one has done that in world cricket. As far as I know, at this point, if anyone comes close, it is Joe Root in Test cricket,” he added.

    Virat is an all-format great and one of the best batsmen of all time, with 27,041 runs in 535 international matches at an average of 53.23, with 80 centuries and 140 fifties. His best score is 254*. Having captained his side to number one ICC Test team ranking, secured the ICC U19 World Cup, ICC Cricket World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and ICC T20 World Cup as a player, it is safe to say he has completed the sport in terms of trophies. . He is the fourth-highest run-getter of all time across all formats.

    While the 35-year-old has an incredible record across all formats, his ODI stats make him perhaps the greatest to play the 50-over format. In 295 matches, he has scored 13,906 runs at an average of 58.18, with 50 centuries and 72 fifties. His best score is 183.

    On the other hand, Babar, who debuted in international cricket in 2015, seven years after Virat, is barely halfway through Virat’s numbers. In 294 matches, he has scored 13,836 runs at an average of 47.54, with 31 centuries and 94 fifties. His best score is 196. ODIs remain his strongest format too, having made 5,729 runs in 117 ODIs at an average of 56.72, with 19 centuries and 32 fifties and best score of 158.

    However, currently, Babar is not having the best of times in Test cricket. Ahead of the second Test against England at home, the cricketing world was up for a shock as Babar was rested for the remaining two Tests along with pacers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah. Babar made scores of 30 and five across the two innings of the first match. He was adjudged lbw to Chris Woakes in the first innings and edged wicket-keeper Jamie Smith off the bowling of Gus Atkinson in the second.

    His last 50-plus score in the format came back in December 2022, and in his last 17 Test innings, he averages just 20.70. In his last eight innings on home soil, where runs have flowed for others, Babar has averaged just 18.75.

  • Real Madrid Kylian Mbappe Accused Of Rape, Footballers Respond To Allegation | Other

    Real Madrid’s star played Kylian Mbappe has found himself in the middle of a massive controversy which has accused him of rape. A Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that Mbappe has been accused of rape and the police is currently investigating the issue. However, the 25-year-old football star has reacted to these allegations and called them ‘fake news’.

    Mbappe’s team are making sure all legal measures are taken to repair the damage this has caused to the French forward’s image. As per The Sun, the team has claimed these reports to be ‘completely false and irresponsible’.

    What Does The Report Say?

    The newspaper outlet report suggests that Swedish cops are currently investigating an alleged rape incident at the Bank Hotel (where Mbappe stayed a night).

    In September, Mbappe got injured and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti initially described the issue as a “knock,” stating that Mbappe “asked to be substituted to avoid any problems.”

    “Following the tests carried out today on our player Kylian Mbappe by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the femoral biceps of his left leg,” the club announced, as quoted by ESPN.

    Mbappe has been in fine form this season, netting five goals in LaLiga, with his standout goal coming against Alaves. His absence will undoubtedly be felt as Madrid navigate this critical phase of the season.

    Mbappe’s move was highly anticipated from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), as he was officially presented in front of 80,000 spectators at the Santiago Bernabeu. Earlier in June, after years of speculation, Mbappe joined the Spanish club as a free agent. The 25-year-old World Cup winner with France joined a Madrid team that was already loaded with talent and still celebrating its latest triumph in the La Liga competition.

  • Can India Still Qualify For Women’s T20 World Cup Semi-Finals? Check All Possible Scenarios After Loss To Australia | cricket news

    T20 WC 2024: India, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, suffered a heartbreaking nine-run loss to Australia in a crucial ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday. With Australia already securing their place in the semi-finals, India now finds their own chances of progressing hanging in the balance. The narrow defeat has significantly dented their hopes of reaching the semi-finals, leaving their fate dependent on the outcome of the final group-stage clash between New Zealand and Pakistan.

    Australia Prevails In A Nail-Bitter

    Batting first, Australia posted a competitive total of 151/8 in their 20 overs. Despite a disciplined bowling effort from India, Australia’s middle-order batters managed to push their score past the 150-run mark, setting India a tough target. India’s chase started well, with Harmanpreet Kaur leading from the front with a resilient 54, but they faltered under pressure in the final stages of the match. Needing 10 runs off the last over, India could only manage 142/9 in their 20 overs, falling agonizingly short by 9 runs.

    Harmanpreet’s innings kept India in the hunt, but with her stranded at the non-striker’s end during the crucial final over, India’s hopes were dashed as wickets tumbled at the other end.

    IND vs NZ: Semi-Final Qualification Scenarios

    India’s chances of progressing to the semi-finals now hinge on the outcome of New Zealand’s final group-stage match against Pakistan. Here are the scenarios:

    New Zealand Win: If New Zealand defeat Pakistan in any manner, India will be knocked out of the tournament, and New Zealand will secure the second semi-final spot.

    Pakistan Win Big: If Pakistan manages a resounding victory, surpassing both India and New Zealand’s net run rate (NRR), Pakistan will leapfrog into second place, eliminating India.

    Pakistan Win Narrowly: If Pakistan wins but fails to improve their NRR significantly, India, New Zealand, and Pakistan will all be tied with 4 points each. In this case, India, who currently has a higher NRR (+0.322) than New Zealand (+0.282), would progress to the semi-finals.

    India’s Disappointing Journey

    India’s World Cup campaign has been filled with ups and downs. After losing their tournament opener against New Zealand by 58 runs, India bounced back with back-to-back wins against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, which reignited their semi-final hopes. However, the loss to the defending champions, Australia, has now left India on the brink of elimination.

    Last Hope For India

    India’s qualification hopes are now ironically in the hands of their arch-rivals Pakistan. If Pakistan defeats New Zealand on Monday, India stands a chance of making it through to the next stage. A loss for New Zealand would keep India alive in the competition, but anything short of that will bring an end to India’s World Cup journey.

    India’s heavy loss to New Zealand and their close win against Pakistan earlier in the tournament have kept their net run rate intact, but they will now be hoping for a favorable result in the final group-stage match to keep their World Cup dream alive.
