CHAMPION CSK vs MINNOW DC – IPL 2024

-

In the thirteenth match being played at Vishakhapatnam today, we have five time champion and unbeaten in this IPL edition, CSK take on Delhi Capitals. CSK is one of the most successful teams in IPL forever. They hold the joint maximum number of title wins. They have not made playoffs only in two years of the sixteen years they have played IPL. This season they have won both their matches till now easily.

DC has always had a mixed fortune in IPL. Doing brilliantly in a few seasons and worst performances in a few seasons. DC was rebranded in 2018. In their earlier avatar, they were Delhi Daredevils which was changed to Delhi Capitals. The name change did seem to bring about a fortune change for a few years. But last year they had an abysmal tournament. In IPL 2024, they have lost both their opening matches.

Rishabh Pant has won the toss and DC has decided to bat first.

The lineup of the two teams is as below:

Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner*, Mitchell Marsh*, Rishabh Pant (Captain and Wicketkeeper), Tristan Stubbs*, Abhishek Porel, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje*, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed

Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain), Rachin Ravindra*, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell*, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi, MS Dhoni (Wicketkeeper), Deepak Chahar, Matheesha Pathirana*, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rehman*

* Overseas Players

New Rules and Format Spice Up IPL 2024!

Here are the new rules and format for the 17th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. While the core excitement of high-octane cricket remains, the BCCI has introduced a few tweaks to the rules and format, promising an even more thrilling season. Let's dive into the details: Two Bouncers Per Over: In an effort to create a fairer balance between batsmen and bowlers, IPL 2024 will allow pacers to deliver two bouncers per over. This change aims to add more excitement and variety to the game. Pacer Jaydev Unadkat believes this is "a very small change with a huge impact," potentially giving bowlers a crucial edge. A bouncer is a type of delivery in cricket, where the bowler bowls a short-pitched ball that rises sharply and forces the batter to duck or defend themselves. A bouncer can be a useful weapon for the bowler to intimidate or unsettle the batter, but it can also be risky if the batter manages to hit it for a boundary or a six. 🏏 Uncapped Indian Players’ Salaries

MASTERCLASS FROM CSK – IPL 2024

It was a clinical win for the CSK. Right from the time when Gaikwad and Rachindra walked out to the pitch, the match belonged to CSK. GT seemed completely rudderless and lost in the sea of Yellow at Chepauk. Ravin Rachindra is the find of the year. He showed us the class and the caliber in the ODI World Cup in late 2023 and he is reminding us in IPL, how he is one of the superstars of tomorrow in all forms of cricket. When he is on the crease, he completely dominates the opposition. It was unfortunate that he could not reach his 50 but I am sure he will be meeting the much higher milestones in the future. With Ravindra hitting at one end, the other end was steadied by Gaikwad. When Ravindra got out and Rahane also followed soon, enter Shivam Dube. His innings tonight would put him in contention of T20 World Cup hopefuls. He hit 51 off 23 balls with 5 impressive sixes and an impressive strike rate of above 200%. Good contributions by Mitchell and Rizvi helped CSK reach 206 for 6 in

GLIMPSES OF LAST YEAR’S FINAL - CSK vs GT IPL 2024

-
  The last time GT played CSK was in Ahmedabad. It was the IPL 2023 final. CSK won the match on the last two balls with Jadeja hitting a six and a four helping CSK become a five-time champion. But today is a new day. It is a different ground and most importantly, there are new captains for both the franchises. Will GT be able to defeat CSK in Chennai or will CSK continue the tradition of beating GT. The spotlight will be Shubhman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Gill has the energy and exuberance of youngsters in his team. On the other hand, Gaikwad has experience and excellence in his team. Gaikwad has one ace up his sleeve in the form of Dhoni. Will Nehra become the ace in Gill’s pocket. Shubhman Gill wins the toss and elects to field. The lineup of the two teams is as below: Chennai Super Kings:: Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain), Rachin Ravindra*, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell*, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi, MS Dhoni (Wicketkeeper), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafiz
