Update regarding IPL, Gautam Gambhir is back in KKR as mentor [1] , he was part of KKR in their victories back in the day, would want to lift team's spirits once again after mediocre performances in last couple years.

Users of Twitter are already making it, RCB vs KKR, after the exchange that happened during ipl 2023 between Kohli and Gambhir. Here, Gambhir was with Lucknow team.



[1] https://www.kkr.in/news/gautam-gambhir-returns-home-to-kolkata-knight-riders-as-mentor

He had only 2 years of contract with the Lucknow or something bad happened between him and management?

Maybe something wrong happened during the last T-20 World Cup, for example, KL's pathetic performance in T-20 WC. Anyway, KKR suits him more and they also need someone like Gauti, he's no nonsense guy when it comes to cricket.

Against Namibia, Zimbabwe set a target of just 133 runs which was not enough to win. Because it was very easy to score 133 runs off 120 balls which Namibia did not have to play with much pressure. Namibia's opening pair did very well which resulted in an easy win in the end. Had Zimbabwe been able to get Namibia's opening batting out quickly, it would have been a bit more difficult for Namibia to win and the match would have been much more contested.  

Zimbabwe will play against Tanzania today. Zimbabwe players will try to play very well today. I think Zimbabwe can easily win against Tanzania.

I watched almost the entire match live on Fancode. Namibia completely dominated the match and at no point Zimbabwe gave an impression that they would be able to get 2 points from it. Even after the match, there was no big celebration although an associate nation had defeated a full member nation. In this match, Zimbabwe were the real underdogs. The ICC needs to take a decision on Zimbabwe, if they are losing very frequently against the associate nations. Providing them with 50x the funding when compared with associate nations doesn't make any sense.

In the match between Namibia and Zimbabwe team, Namibia won by 7 wickets. The bowling line of Zimbabwe team was very poor which made it very easy for Namibia team to win this match. The batsman of Namibia team Michael van Lingen scored 30 runs from 20 balls. Nikolaas Davin scored 89 runs from 45 balls.  Nikolaas Davin is out. Nikolaas Davin played very well in batting for which Namibia team could win so easily. But if Nikolaas Davin could have played a few more overs he could have matched 100 runs but before that Nikolaas Davin got out.

The squad for the T20 series against Australia has been announced with SKY as the captain. Team India will play the first T20 match against Australia after being defeated in the final match of the World Cup. The squad announced for India's T20I series against Australia has left out some expected players and some players who were not expected to make the squad have made it to the squad. Fresh off their World Cup victory, Australia are already in a much more buoyant mood so they will definitely want to do well in the T20I against India as well. 
Hardik Pandya is the regular captain of India T20 team but due to injury he is not with the team that is why SKY has been announced as the captain of the team. Hope the team will do well under SKY.

I haven't been watching the legends league before but now after your post I watch out some important moments of the match, and it's really entertaining because both side more hard to get ahead of their opponent, summon did phenomenal for his team by scoring 99 not out but unfortunately their team bowling unable to stop opponent to over pass his target and thus his entire contribution got ruined. At one stage BK were is game and almost took dominance over GG, but later some middle lower order make handsome shot which divert game from then and thus GG become victorious
It's a cricket tournament of legends so the game is pretty awesome to watch. Former great players are playing there. Gayle's devastating performance on behalf of Gujarat Giants in today's match would surely have been 200 but if he could not due to LBW. Since his departure there has been fall one wicket after another. But Bhilwara Kings were dominating the entire innings and it seemed that they were going to get a very easy win there but it was not to be. Unfortunately for Lendl Simmons who could not win the match despite being unbeaten. On the other hand, Gujarat Giants' players' miss-fielding has brought Lendl Simmons stay long in the innings who got a life from two catches.

The 3rd match of Namibia vs Zimbabwe team has already started. Zimbabwe team has given a target of 133 runs in 20 overs. The target of runs that Zimbabwe team has given to bat first is not the right run to win.  Chances will be.Namibia team now comes out to bat.They scored 15 runs in 2.3 overs.Namibia team has not lost any wicket so far.But Namibia team can keep wickets and win this match very easily.
Namibia won the toss and decided to bowl collars to restrict Zimbabwe to a narrow margin of runs. Zimbabwe were restricted to just 130 runs. I think Namibia will easily reach the victory target in today's match. That's because the target of 131 runs will not be a big target for Namibia.  Now in the end it remains to be seen which team wins though or the stats say Namibia are more likely to win.
Batting first, Zimbabwe lost wickets regularly and ended their innings on 132 runs. JJ Smit took 3 wickets for 24 runs in his four over bowling spell. With a target of 133 runs given by Zimbabwe, Namibia went into bat and collected 74 runs without a wicket in the power play. Nikolass davin played a storming innings of 89 off 45 balls with ten fours and four sixes. Namibia won by seven wickets against Zimbabwe with 32 balls to spare.

Zimbabwe lose his important match of T20 world cup Africa qualifier due to bad performance in batting segment which is I Think expected because from recent time entire team dependency on single player sikander and unfortunately he was unable to score in recent matches otherwise they will score a handsome target, but credit goes to namabia top order batter Niko Davin who smashed 10 boundaries and 4 sixes at early stage of the which really give them boost as a result they just made required target before 20th over.

That's because the target of 131 runs will not be a big target for Namibia.  Now in the end it remains to be seen which team wins though or the stats say Namibia are more likely to win.

The Zimbabwe team did not get off to a good start and both their openers were dismissed for only 18 runs. Of course, such a bad start by the openers puts pressure on the rest of the team. Due to which the rest of the batsmen also got out at regular intervals and no good partnership was formed anywhere. Smith bowled well for Namibia and dismissed three key players.

As I mentioned earlier that the opening partnership of any team plays a very important role in winning and losing the match. Unlike Zimbabwe opening, the Namibian team had a brilliant start. A brilliant opening partnership of 88 runs made the win very easy and close. Nikolaas Davin played a brilliant innings of 89 runs off 45 balls which included four sixes and 10 fours. The Zimbabwe team did not perform well in bowling as well as batting and failed to take wickets. Reaching the target 32 balls early certainly shows Namibia's best batting.

Fourth match of this Legends League which was Bhalwar Kings squad against Gujrat Giants squad has just ended a few minutes ago. Seriously, watching this match was truly entertaining and also a bit feel sad for Lendl Simmons batters and Bhalwar Kings squad. In first, Gujrat Giants congrats for this great effort and fantastic performance in today match, get a awesome victory. Defending target which was Gujrat Giants squad made in today was not bad but challenging target of 172 scores. Bhalwara kings squad was almost reached to win this match but unfortunately this was not happen, they just need 5 scores in last ball and Lendl Simmons batters was batted on crease and he was also close to complete his century. But both was failed Lendl Simmons batters need one scores complete his century and Bhalwar Kings squad need 3 scores to win this match.

Just like I have explained couple of time that entire Zimbabwe team depend on one man his current captain Sikander Raza if he scored decent runs and add some good contribution in bowling then definitely team will win if he hasn't play any significant role then without any doubt team will lose brutally like they did in past and in current match too, he got dismissed before a handsome contribution while batting as a result they lose all out with small Target while during target defending thier bowling were not up to the mark which allow his opponent to settle down smashed some good deliveries out of boundaries and as a result thier oppner scored some decent runs and win this important match 5+ over before and show his good impact.

Hardik Pandya could not return to the team due to injury, so the Indian cricket team selected Suryakumar Yadav as the captain. It is as if India has reorganized the T20 team. Many key players have been rested. Rohit, Virat, KL Rahul, Bumrah, Shami, Jadeja, Kuldeep are not in the team. They are rested. So Surya Kumar Yadav has an important responsibility. India is going to play against Australia without some important batsmen. It remains to be seen how well India can do against Australia as the 2023 World Cup champions.

This young squad has been taken based on their domestic records so there is no doubt that they are potential players for the upcoming T20 WC next year and starting from this series India will be looking for making the perfect squad for that tournament.

Interesting fact is this squad is filled with mostly left hand batters while the WC squad failed to have one in the middle order so looking forward to see how the young team is gonna approach the team that is coming out from WC win.

Can India make the dent straight away on Australia?

I don't think it's about making it to such series or about winning, I think they are there so youngsters can prove themselves and have their place in big tournaments. We should see players who do good here in t20 wc.

Same is case with Australian squad as well, although they have more veteran players compared to Indian side, but most are not from wc squad.

Tomorrow is the first match of the India vs Australia T20I series., and Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandeya are injured so the question is this who is the captain of the Indian team then BCCI decided to take the captaincy to Surya Kumar Yadav, and I think that Australia can T20 easily because just World Cup is ended so many best Indian players take the rest from T20 series.

Muhammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah took the rest and they both are the main Indian fast bowlers so these things proved that India's bowling is very poor. If we look at the batting of India so the no.1 ODI batsman took the rest means Shubman Gill took the rest from this series.

On the ground, with most of the famous players looking absent for this series for Australia, seems like the Aussies may have an upper hand in the series.

@noormcs5 it looks like Australia will continue causing more misery for the Indian team because this experimental squad won’t be able to perform well against the Australia side. Furthermore these player’s perform well in IPL but they fail when it really matters and if they fail in this series then BCCI should drop them and hunt for player’s who actually want to play for the nation.

I think India is going to be very interested in getting their revenge on Australia for the World Cup final. But I honestly do not understand why India is going with a lot of experimental teams in recent times. It is obviously good that through these experiments, you are going to find the best team when you go to the big tournaments. But to have the best chance trying to beat a team like Australia I think they should have gone with the best 11 that they have and not with some experimental team.
