If RCB were not able to make it to the IPL 2024 Playoffs, MS Dhoni has reminded them to “bring Virat Kohli back as captain.”

Harbhajan Singh, a seasoned spinner from India, has advised Royal Challengers Bengaluru to restore Virat Kohli as captain following the 2024 Indian Premier League because he believes the team needs an Indian player at the helm. After a lacklustre start to the season, RCB has recovered nicely to maintain their hopes of making the playoffs with a run of five straight victories. They haven’t yet, though, relied on the performance of other clubs to advance to the season’s next round.
Several prominent international players have fallen short of expectations this season, raising the possibility of a major shake-up at the top of the RCB roster next season. With 661 runs in 13 games thus far this season, Kohli leads the Orange Cap standings. Meanwhile, he has been in outstanding form this season. The most notable aspect of Kohli’s batting this season has been his positive purpose with the bat. He is playing with an attacking mindset against the spinners in the middle overs, raising the stakes when necessary.
The former captain is still an important member of the RCB leadership group because he helps Faf du Plessis with field substitutions and has been known to lift the spirits of bowlers when things become hard.
According to Harbhajan, Kohli is a significant leader who significantly influences his team, much like MS Dhoni.
“They ought to go after an Indian person if they don’t qualify. Why not make Virat Kohli the captain again? Because Virat Kohli is a strong leader and understands the style of cricket they need to play, Dhoni has a great deal of influence in Chennai. Virat Kohli provides that, and they are playing with a lot of aggressiveness and determination right now. Going ahead, I want Virat Kohli to be the team’s captain,” Harbhajan said on Star Sports.
After IPL 2021, Kohli gave up the leadership of RCB in order to better manage his workload. In the 2016 edition, the franchise advanced to the championship game under his direction.
The standout batsman for RCB has hit 33 sixes so far, which is second most for a batter after Abhishek Sharma of SRH (35 sixes). He has more sixes than Australian sensations Jake Fraser McGurk and Shivam Dube (28), Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and Riyan Parag (31), Sunil Narine (32), Rajat Patidar (27), and Rishabh Pant (25). With a career-high 38 sixes in 16 games in 2016, Kohli’s IPL season record of 30 sixes is only surpassed once, this time in history.

Lionel Messi’s final jab at Cristiano in a million-dollar text message for Lyon’s Argentina player: “Don’t listen to Ronaldo”

French club Lyon stoked the flames of the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry in their announcement video for Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada.
With the January football transfer window currently open and clubs across Europe looking to add talent to their rosters for the run-in in the second half of the season, French team Olympique Lyonnais have made the exciting signing of Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada. Almada joins on an initial loan from Brazilian club Botafogo, but his announcement was made in style in the latest in a long line of iconic transfer videos.
The 23-year-old midfielder’s signing was announced through a video shared by Lyon in which he receives a text message from ‘Lionel’ along with a goat emoji, clearly meant to be the legendary Lionel Messi, Almada’s compatriot and teammate in the Argentine national team. The text sent to Almada in this video reads “Don’t listen to Cristiano, Ligue 1 is incredible.”
Lyon’s retribution for Ronaldo’s comments
The text provides a sneaky tongue-in-cheek remark from the seven-time French champions, who are referencing Cristiano Ronaldo’s past comment regarding Ligue 1 being a weaker competition than the Saudi Pro League, where he currently plies his trade for Al Nassr. Ronaldo had claimed there was a better standard of football in Saudi Arabia, with the French league considered the weakest of the ‘top five’ leagues in Europe.
Messi, meanwhile, spent two years playing in France, having spent a period in the capital with Paris Saint-Germain after leaving Barcelona. Messi was the latest star at PSG, playing alongside Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe, before the trio was broken up as they left France with Messi heading to Inter Miami, Neymar to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, and Mbappe finally getting his marquee move to Real Madrid.
Almada was part of the Argentina squad that lifted the World Cup trophy in Qatar in 2022, helping Messi finally get his hands on the coveted trophy and firmly setting his status as the greatest of all time in stone. Almada has represented Argentina six times, scoring twice, and finally earned a move to Europe after playing for Atlanta United in the MLS and a brief spell in the Brazilian Serie A at Botafogo. Almada will be joining fellow Argentine Nicolas Tagliafico, who also made a cameo appearance in the announcement video.
Lyon currently sit in sixth place in the Ligue 1 table with half the season concluded, but will have intentions of fighting for spots in next year’s UEFA Champions League with a strong end to the season, in which Almada could play an important role.
