Rising Pune Supergiants bought him in March 2017 for the tenth season of the IPL. In January 2018, Chennai Super Kings bought him for the next season.

In 2019, Chennai made it to the IPL final. Thakur took two wickets, but he was out on the last ball of the game, when the team still needed two runs to win. In 2021, he was the player for Chennai who took the most wickets, with 21. He was bought by Delhi Capitals in the 2022 Indian Premier League sale in February 2022. After playing in 14 games, he was traded to the Kolkata Knight Riders in return for Aman Khan in November 2022, just before the auctions for the 2023 IPL season.

He hit 78 and added 112 runs with the captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and 59 runs with Ravichandran Ashwin in only 5.1 overs to help his team reach 234–7 in 50 overs. In the next Ranji season (2015–16), Jadeja came back strong. He took 38 wickets in 4 games and scored 215 runs, with 3 scores of 50 or more. His good play got him picked for the Indian test team that will play South Africa at home.

Jadeja took 23 wickets in 4 games, which helped his team win. He got 109 runs in the series, and some of them were very important runs at the bottom of the order. In July 2022, he was named India’s vice-captain for the ODI series against the West Indies where they were playing away from home. Jadeja was put on the Indian team for the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in September 2022, but he couldn’t play because he had a major knee injury that kept him out.

Domestic career of Virat Kohli:

Kohli’s junior cricket career began in October 2002 at the Luhnu cricket ground in a Polly Umrigar match against the home state of Himachal Pradesh. Kohli was able to score a total of 15 runs in his first game. At Ferozeshah Kotla, he made 70 runs against Harayana for his first 50-run game for his country.

In July 2006, Kohli was chosen to go on a tour of England with the India Under-19 team. In the three ODI games against England Under-19s, he averaged 105, and in the three Test games, he averaged 49. After both the ODI and Test series went well for India Under-19, the team’s coach, Lalchand Rajput, praised Kohli’s ability to handle both fast and slow bowling and praised his technical skill.

In June 2008, Kohli, Pradeep Sangwan, and Tanmay Srivastava, who were all on Kohli’s Under-19 team, were given the Border-Gavaskar grant. This grant gave the chosen cricketers the chance to train for six weeks at Cricket Australia’s Centre of Excellence in Brisbane. The goal was to improve their skills.

International career of Virat Kohli:

Kohli was selected for the August 2008 ODI tour of Sri Lanka and Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Before Sri Lanka, Kohli has only eight List A matches. He was “surprise call-up”.

Virat played in the Bangladesh tri-nation ODI tournament in January 2010 as Tendulkar rested. Kohli scored two ODI centuries before 22 in the series. 275 runs in five innings at 91.66 led the series. India rested Tendulkar in June–July 2011. Three Test players—including Kohli—were uncapped. Despite averaging 58.21, India lost the five-match ODI series in New Zealand 4–0. He scored 214 runs at 71.33 in the two-match Test series, including an unbeaten 105 on the final day of the second Test at Wellington that helped India win.

Personal life of Virat Kohli:

The name “Virushka” was given to Kohli and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma when they started dating in 2013. In an interview with Graham Bensinger, Kohli said that he had met Sharma for the first time when they were both working on a Clear shampoo commercial. Since then, their relationship has gotten a lot of attention from the press. There have been a lot of stories and speculations about it, but neither of them has talked about it in public.

In 2018, Kohli said that he had decided to become a vegetarian to help with the symptoms of a problem with his cervical spine that was caused by high amounts of uric acid. This disease made it hard for him to move his fingers, which made it hard for him to bat well. As part of his plan to stay as healthy as possible, he made a conscious effort to avoid eating meat.

Kohli has said that he believes in a lot of myths. He has said in public that he believes that different lucky charms and practices help him do well on the cricket field. Kohli’s body is a reflection of his spiritual and family devotion, as well as his love of sports and respect of other cultures. Kohli’s skin is covered with detailed and meaningful tattoos. One of them is a picture of the revered Hindu god Lord Shiva in a meditation pose on the holy mountain of Kailash, which shows how much he loves the god.

In the Ranji Trophy season of 2007–08, Rahane played for Mumbai for the first time. In August 2011, he played his first T20Is for his country against England in Manchester. Rahane played in his first Test match in the Border–Gavaskar Trophy in March 2013. His first hundred in a Test was against New Zealand at Basin Reserve in Wellington. India won the 2020-21 Border–Gavaskar Trophy in Australia while he was the captain.

Early and personal life:

Rahane was born on 6 June 1988 in Ashwi KD, Sangamner Taluka, Ahmednagar district to Madhukar Baburao Rahane and Sujata Rahane. He has a younger brother named Shashank and a younger sister named Apurva. Madhukar Rahane took Rahane to a small coaching camp with a matting track in Dombivli when Rahane was seven years old because they couldn’t afford better training. Pravin Amre, a former batter for India, taught him how to play the game when he was 17 years old. Rahane went to SV Joshi High School in Dombivli and got his Secondary School Certificate there.

Rahane married his childhood friend Radhika Dhopavkar on September 26, 2014. On October 4, 2019, they had their first child, a girl named Aarya. On October 5, 2022, a boy, their second child, was born.

Domestic career of Ajinkya Rahane:

Rahane played his first first-class game for Mumbai against Karachi Urban in the Mohammad Nissar Trophy in September 2007 at Karachi. Most of Mumbai’s first-choice players were not available for different reasons, so Rahane got the chance to play. He opened the innings with Sahil Kukreja and scored a century on his first try, 143 (207). Kukreja also got a hundred, 110, for a total of 247. Rahane was then chosen to play against the rest of India in the Irani Trophy match.

In March 2007, Rahane played his first List A game for Mumbai against Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He scored 61 runs in a partnership with former Indian star Wasim Jaffer that added up to 171 runs. After scoring two centuries in a row in Australia’s Emerging Players Tournament, he was put on the India ODI (One Day International) team that went to England in 2011.

Rahane was named captain of Mumbai for the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy event in September 2018. He was named captain of India C’s team for the 2018–19 Deodhar Trophy in October 2018. He led the team to the final and scored 144* in the final game, which helped them win the title.

International career:

Test career of Ajinkya Rahane

Rahane was chosen to play in the November 2011 Test against West Indies. Rahane was added to the team and stayed there for 16 months. During that time, seven other players made their starts. During that time, he wasn’t very good at limited-overs cricket (ODI and T20I). He averaged around 25 in both ODI and T20I. And he was out of form in the games against Pakistan and England in January 2013.

Even though Rahane didn’t do well in his first match, he was in the starting lineup for the first match of India’s tour of South Africa in 2013–14. In the series, he scored 209 runs at an average of 69.66 against the bowling of Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, and Vernon Philander. His best score was 96 runs off 157 balls at Kingsmead in Durban. “For a guy who spent many tours and series warming up on the bench, carrying drinks, and wondering when his chance would come, he grabbed his chance with both hands, even though it came in the most difficult conditions to bat in,” cricket commentator Sidharth Monga wrote.

One-Day International career

In the Emerging Players Tournament in Australia in 2001, Rahane scored two centuries in a row. This helped him get a spot in the India limited-overs team that was going to England. He played his first game against England at Chester-le-Street. He was Virender Sehwag’s replacement as the starter. Even though Rahane scored 40 runs at a strike rate of 90.90, India’s dreams of beating England for the first time in the 2011 summer were dashed when it rained at Chester-le-Street.

Rahane got his second fifty in an ODI in the 2013–14 Asia Cup, but then he had another slump. In his short time in the middle order for ODIs, Rahane has sometimes seemed unsure and has had trouble finding the right mix between defense and offense. With quick centuries against England (September 2014) and Sri Lanka (November 2014), he seemed comfortable at the top of the order, but Rohit Sharma’s second ODI double-century and big hundred against Australia at the MCG pushed Rahane back to the middle of the order.

T20I career of Ajinkya Rahane

Rahane played his first match for India against England at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester, England, in August 2011. In this match, he hit 61 out of 39 against an England trio of Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, and Tim Bresnan and got a fifty. Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid played in his only Twenty20 International.

Rahane helped the Indian team get to the 2014 World T20 final. After sitting on the bench for the first three games, he got to play against Australia and made 19 runs. In the semi-final, he got India off to a good start by hitting 32 runs. India went on to win the Match. He was also India’s captain in the two Twenty20 Internationals against Zimbabwe, the first of which India won and the second of which they lost. In those games, he got 33 and 4 runs.

He is known as one of the best swing bowlers in cricket history, and he has taken more than 1100 wickets in first-class games. Anderson played his first Test match in 2003. From 2002 to 2015, he was a member of England’s One-Day International (ODI) team. And from 2007 to 2009, he was a member of England’s Twenty20 International (T20I) team.

Early and personal life of James Anderson:

James Anderson went to St. Mary’s and St. Theodore’s RC High School in Burnley as a student. From a young age, he played cricket at the Burnley Cricket Club. As a kid, he wanted to be a cricket player, and after a growth spurt at age 17, he was one of the fastest bowlers in the Lancashire League. He said, “I’ve always bowled seam, but when I was 17, I don’t know what happened. But all of a sudden I started bowling fast”. He is a big football fan who cheers for Burnley, the team that plays near his home.

Just a few months after his first game, he became one of the most famous players in English cricket. Because his hairstyles, looks, and clothes were always changing, he was compared to David Beckham and other well-known athletes. In 2004, while on England service in London, he met Daniella Lloyd, a model, and they got married in 2006. He said that marriage has made him “a much happier person.”

Domestic career of James Anderson:

Anderson played his first real game for the Lancashire Cricket Board in a List A one-day match against Suffolk in the NatWest Trophy in 2000. He got Russell Catley out, which was his first wicket in a real game. Later, in 2002, Anderson made his first-class debut for Lancashire. He played in 13 games and took 50 wickets, averaging 22.28, with three five-wicket hauls. In May 2002, he got his first first-class wicket when he got Ian Ward out.

Anderson’s first full season with Lancashire was in 2005. Soon after his Lancashire start, he was called up to the England team. During England’s winter tours, he spent most of his time on the sidelines, so when he did get a chance to bowl for England, he often did a bad job because he hadn’t had enough practice. In 2008, Anderson couldn’t play for Lancashire for the rest of the season after the Test and One-Day series against South Africa finished at the beginning of September. At the end of the first-class season, he had 20 wickets at 7.75 for Lancashire. At the start of the 2009 English cricket season, Anderson got 11 wickets and 109 runs against Sussex in a first-class match, helping Lancashire win by 8 wickets. This was the best match performance of his career.

International career of James Anderson:

Anderson was named for the England one-day team after five List A matches, taking 23 wickets at 26.75. On 15 December 2002, he made his ODI debut against Australia in Melbourne at 20. He opened and bowled 1/46 in six overs. He became the 42nd Englishman to take five wickets in an innings on Test debut against Zimbabwe at Lord’s in 2003. In the One-Day competitions against Pakistan, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, he continued his success.  Anderson was fit and included in both the Test and one-day squads for the West Indies tour. But he was replaced by James Kirtley. In the final match of the ODI series, Anderson took his 50th ODI wicket, Chris Gayle, for 41.

Simon Jones recovered from injury and replaced Anderson on the senior team’s January 2006 tour to India. Instead, Anderson joined England a’s West Indies trip. After the World Cup, Anderson and the rest of the England team were allowed to play more. Anderson healed in time for the Pakistan Test series. As Pakistan was dismissed for 523 in the first Test, Anderson bowled economically with 2–42.

Anderson, Stuart Broad, Trent Boult, and Tim Southee became the third quartet of opening bowlers to take all 20 wickets in each team’s first innings in a Test match (and the first since 1912) in the second Test against New Zealand in 2018. James was one of 55 players named to practice ahead to international matches in England after the COVID-19 pandemic on 29 May 2020.
