Let’s start with the latest update on Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s injury. The star bowler suffered a shoulder injury during the recently concluded ODI series against England. There were concerns about his availability for the IPL, but the good news is that Bumrah’s injury is not as serious as initially feared. The medical team has confirmed that he will be fit to play for Mumbai Indians in their opening match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. This is a huge relief for both the team and the fans, as Bumrah’s presence is crucial for Mumbai Indians’ success in the tournament.
In other news, the IPL schedule for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has been changed due to the upcoming state elections in West Bengal. KKR was initially scheduled to play their first three matches at home in Kolkata, but now they will be playing their first five matches away from home. This change in schedule has raised concerns among KKR fans, as playing away from home can be challenging for any team. However, KKR’s captain Eoin Morgan has assured that the team is prepared to face this challenge and will give their best on the field.
Moving on to Chennai Super Kings (CSK), there have been talks about MS Dhoni being a liability for the team. The former Indian captain has been struggling with his form in recent years and many believe that he is past his prime. However, CSK’s coach Stephen Fleming has come out in support of Dhoni, stating that he still has a lot to offer to the team. Dhoni’s leadership skills and experience are invaluable for CSK, and he will continue to play a crucial role in the team’s success.
As we gear up for the IPL, there have been some major changes in the tournament’s schedule. The BCCI has announced that the IPL will now be a 10-team tournament from 2022 onwards. This means that two new teams will be added to the existing eight teams, making it a more competitive and exciting tournament. The addition of new teams will also open up opportunities for more players to showcase their talent on the big stage.
In other news, the Indian women’s cricket team has made history by reaching the final of the ODI World Cup for the first time.

This is a huge achievement for women’s cricket in India and will surely inspire more young girls to take up the sport.
In international cricket, New Zealand has emerged as the new World Test Champions after defeating India in the final.
