Australia won the trophy a record-tying sixth time, breaking India’s winning streak in the competition. Due to a huge number of local and international visitors witnessing the matches.

One important factor contributing to the overall impact was the economy’s secondary and additive spending. Which brought in USD 515.7 million, or almost 37% of the total. The ICC did not, however, clarify whether the enormous amount mentioned in the report represents genuine revenue.

Approximately 75% of the record-breaking 1.25 million spectators at the major event were there for their first-ever ICC 50-over match according to the study. About 55% of the foreign respondents had been to India on a regular basis in the past. But 19% of the foreign attendees were visiting the nation for the first time because of the World Cup.

The governing body said that nearly 68% of foreign attendees said they would recommend India as a tourist destination to friends and family in the future, further enhancing India’s global image. International travelers visited multiple tourist destinations during their stay, resulting in an economic impact of USD281.2 million.

RCB Star Yash Dayal Reveals Virat Kohli’s Master Plan To Counter MS Dhoni in IPL 2024

RCB star Yash Dayal revealed how Virat Kohli’s master strategy helped him get rid of MS Dhoni during an IPL 2024 match against CSK.

Left-arm pacer Yash Dayal was trolled and ridiculed when he first signed with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but he has done an excellent job of burying the ghosts of his Gujarat Titans days. Dayal was one of RCB’s standout players in the Indian Premier League (IPL) past season, and his domestic cricket performances have earned him his first call-up to India’s Test side. Recalling his journey, Dayal explained how Virat Kohli helped him settle in when he first arrived at RCB, especially when he faced the mighty MS Dhoni against the Chennai Super Kings

It was a simulated knockout match between RCB and CSK. With the Bengaluru team needing a win by at least 18 runs to advance to the playoffs. CSK needed 17 runs from the last over to qualify. As Dayal bowled the opening ball of the penultimate over. Dhoni hit a six, putting the rookie bowler under intense pressure. This is when Kohli stepped in and planned the CSK stalwart’s demise.

Virat bhaiya warned me not to give Mahi bhai pace because he enjoys it. So Virat bhaiya calmed me down after the first ball six; a conversation with him helped me a lot, Dayal explained.

On the next delivery, Dayal removed Dhoni, putting RCB in control. Bengaluru won the match by 27 runs and advanced to the playoffs.

During his discussion, Dayal also discussed how Virat is portrayed as extremely aggressive on social media. However, it is not the case in reality.

On social media, he is portrayed as a violent man, yet he is far from that. When I tried to talk to him, he came to me and explained everything.

Everyone knows what type of season I had with the Gujarat Titans. My health deteriorated following that. I had a lot of doubts, but when the season began, I did not miss a single training session, he stated.

The left-arm bowler also revealed that Kohli provided him assurances about his spot in the team, regardless of performance. Virat relieved my anxiety before the first match by telling me that RCB will support me throughout the season, regardless of how I performed.

“Whatever occurred has happened, just concentrate on the future,” he replied. He advised me to always have a smile on my face and to be excited when playing for the Royal Bengals. I recognized the characteristics of his personality. I just continued staring at him at first since I could not understand what he was saying.”

Vikram Rathour joins New Zealand team for Afghanistan Test

The former India batting coach Vikram Rathour will be a member of the New Zealand support team when they play Afghanistan in a one-off Test in Noida. Additionally, New Zealand said that Rangana Herath will coach their spin bowling unit for both the next two-Test series against Sri Lanka and the Test match against Afghanistan.

Vikram Rathour was a member of the coaching team under Rahul Dravid. Whose term came to an end with India winning the T20 World Cup. Prior to joining the national selectorate, he had participated in six Test matches for India throughout the 1990s. The most successful left-arm spinner, Herath, has taken over for Saqlain Mushtaq. Who was set to assume the role of temporary spin coach but withdrew to accept a job with the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Head coach of New Zealand Gary Stead stated, “We’re really excited to introduce Rangana and Vikram into our Test group.” “I am aware that our players are eager to get the chance to learn from these two highly esteemed figures in the cricket industry.

“Having three Test matches in the sub-continent to work with Rangana will be quite helpful for our three left-arm orthodox spinners, Ajaz, Mitch, and Rachin,” Stead stated. Rangana has gathered over 100 Test wickets at Galle, the venue of our two Test matches against Sri Lanka. So his knowledge with the area will be helpful.

On September 9, New Zealand will play its one-off Test match against Afghanistan. September 18 marks the start of the first Test matchup with Sri Lanka. While September 30 marks the start of the second matchup. New Zealand is currently placed third in the World Test Championship. Which includes both Tests.
