IPL 2024: Completely drained Adam Zampa reveals reasons for pulling out

Australia leg-spinner for limited-overs formats Adam Zampa says an exhausting run in 2023 left him "completely drained" which led to him missing the Indian Premier League this year for Rajasthan Royals. Zampa, who was a part of Australia's 50-over World Cup winning campaign in India last year, pulled out of IPL-17 citing tiredness and exhaustion from playing cricket regularly. "There are several reasons why the IPL wasn't for me this year. The most important one was the fact that it's a World Cup year and I'm completely drained from 2023," Zampa said on Willow Talk podcast. "I did the full IPL last year. Obviously, the World Cup was three months in India as well. I had the best intentions of trying to play the IPL again this year." "But once push came to shove, I felt like I just couldn't really offer the Rajasthan Royals the best version of myself and looking forward to the World Cup, that's what's more important to me, that's for sure," he said. Zampa's pull out did deplete ...

IPL 2024 MI vs RCB preview: Desperate times for RCB, face equal laggards MI

Desperate Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be under tremendous pressure to get their act together against an equally struggling Mumbai Indians when the two teams face-off in an Indian Premier League match here on Thursday. Four losses in five matches have not only vindicated how poor RCB were in the last IPL auction, but they have also missed the opportunity to make it up with better on-field showing. However, there is nothing much to separate the two teams as RCB are just a rung below MI in the points table at the ninth position with MI winning just one (29-run victory over Delhi Capitals) out of their four games so far. Virat Kohli's brilliance, notwithstanding, RCB's campaign is under threat of falling apart even before they could register enough wins to have a real shot at the knockouts.

IPL 2024: PBKS' Shashank Singh lists reasons for unknown players' success

Self-belief and the rigours of domestic cricket are the reasons behind unknown players' success in the ongoing Indian Premier League, said Punjab Kings cricketer Shashank Singh, who made yet another statement with the bat against Sunrisers Hyderabad here. Chasing 183 for victory, Shashank smashed an unbeaten 46 off 25 deliveries to nearly pull off another heist for PBKS partnering Ashutosh Sharma (33 off 15 balls) but the team fell short by two just runs on Tuesday. Shashank's plucky innings came on the back of an unbeaten 61, which had helped PBKS pull off a thrilling three-wicket win against Gujarat Titans on April 4 in a high-scoring match. Despite the loss, Shashank received praise from all quarters for showing faith in his abilities. "The only thing is self-belief. Like the way we play domestic cricket. Like you see SRH's Nitish (Reddy) here. He usually scores and takes wickets in white-ball and red-ball cricket (in domestic competitions)," said Shashank, decoding the mantra .

IPL 2024 MI vs RCB: How injuries made Suryakumar better version of himself

India and Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav on Wednesday revealed that he battled three different injuries in the past three months but worked hard to become a "better version" of himself while going through a "boring" recovery process. The world No.1 T20 batter, who made his comeback last week in the Indian Premier League, revealed that apart from sports hernia for which he had to undergo a surgery and an ankle problem, he also endured an injury to his right knee. "I had two-three niggles together, sports hernia, ankle and then right knee. I had to take one step at a time, follow the small things and here I am, really happy to be on the ground," Yadav said in a video released by IPL. The 33-year-old said it was "boring" for him to follow the same routine during rehab work at the start but he decided to make the most of the opportunity.
