LSG VS PBKS- NEW vs OLD - TOSS FOR IPL 2024

-

Punjab Kings is one of the original eight franchises that has played in all the IPL seasons from 2008 till now. They have not had a very good run in the IPL. They reached the playoffs only once, in the debut year 2008, and were the runners-up in 2014 where they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders. In the last 5 years, PBKS has consistently finished in the bottom half of the league.

Compared to that, Lucknow Super Giants have had a great run in their small journey in IPL. The team was formed in 2022 when the original eight teams were expanded to ten. In both 2022 and 2023, LSG made it to the playoffs. They were eliminated in the Eliminator stage. But it is an impressive record for the new franchise.

LSG is coming in this match with one loss and PBKS with one win and one loss. Both teams would like to win this match to bolster their chances in IPL 2024.

Nicholas Pooran has come for the toss in place of KL Rahul. Pooran wins the toss and LSG decides to bat. Pooran confirms that KL Rahul will come in as an impact player to convalesce from his injury.

The lineup of the two teams is as below:

Lucknow Super Giants : Quinton de Kock* (Wicketkeeper), Devdutt Padikkal, KL Rahul#, Marcus Stoinis*, Nicholas Pooran *(Captain), Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, M Siddharth

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

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

WHAT WAS THIS SRH – MI HITS BACK - IPL 2024

-
The first half of the match seems surreal now. The way SRH batted, there are no words to describe it. From Travis Head to Abhishek Sharma to Heinrich Klaasen to Aiden Markram, everybody joined the party. Mayank Agarwal would be feeling very left out. As a few comments on the internet mentioned, if Mayank had also played like his teammates, SRH would have crossed 300. 😊 The most perplexing part of the innings was why Bumrah bowled only one over in the first 10 overs. Bumrah is one of the best bowlers in the world in all formats of cricket but if the chance is not given to him what can he do. He came back when already 150 was on board in 10 overs. Kwena Maphaka did not have a good debut in IPL but he has a long way to go in cricket. More experienced bowlers than him like Coetzee and Chawla were also hit all over the ground. It is heartening for the batting side to see that almost all their top order have a strike rate of over 200%. Head set the stage by scoring 62 off 24 balls fol
