Growing up in Mohali, Ramandeep Singh competed with his best friend Shubman Gill to see who could face the most balls in the nets. After training at the academy, he would get throwdowns from his father, Sardar Hardev Singh, in their backyard. The count would stop once he had hit 700 balls each day. “The next day, he and Shubman would compare who had faced the most balls. I used to be the throwdown specialist for Ramandeep, and Lakhwinder ji was for Shubman,” shares Hardev Singh with The Indian Express. Unlike Shubman, Ramandeep traversed a different journey. He never played for India U-19. He worked hard for Punjab in the age-group circuit and got his chance to play for the state team in his last year of U-23.

IPL 2024: Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy – players written off who rebounded to script KKR’s victorious tale | Cricket News

Published by Webster

As Kolkata Knight Riders won their first IPL trophy in 10 years, there were several tales of redemption. From Sunil Narine at the top to Varun Chakravarthy, there were many notable comebacks. The Indian Express takes a look at them… Eyebrows were raised when KKR retained him in 2022. With a slightly remodelled action after being called for chucking, Narine wasn’t the mystery-spinner of old. Even with the bat, he wasn’t offering much in the lower order, tallying just 62, 71 & 21 in the last three seasons. And even in the West Indies set-up, he was totally sidelined as he became the franchise’s global face across several T20 leagues. The endgame was ready to be played, only for Narine to return to the top of the order and score 488 runs, while picking up 17 wickets. The forgotten hero walked away with the Most Valuable Player award with even his fellow West Indian players asking him to return for the T20 World Cup. Rahmanullah Gurbaz – with Mom’s blessings With their top order seldom …

KKR defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2024 final at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday. An all-round performance from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), including fiery spells by Mitchell Starc and Andre Russell and a half-century by Venkatesh Iyer, helped the Purple and Gold side secure their third Indian Premier League (IPL). Sunrisers, who set the T20 cricketing world on fire with their fierce hitting, sky-high run-rates, largely due to the opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, got a taste of their own medicine. In a battle of two big buys, the Australian stars Cummins (Rs 20.5 crore for SRH) and Starc (Rs 24.75 crores for KKR), it was the latter who prevailed. “When you’re a part of this squad, not playing or not involved in the field, but supporting the guys all the way, it’s always …
