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...

RR DEMOLISHES MI IN WANKHEDE - IPL 2024

-
When Hardik Pandya came into the ground for the toss he was booed. The booing was so bad that Sanjay Manjrekar had to ask the crowd to behave. But this booing set the tone of the evening. Sampson won the toss and decided to field first. Trent Boult started the attack with the new ball. He took 2 wickets in the last two balls and that also wickets of Rohit Sharma and Naman Dheer. For MI, the match seemed to get over at the end of this over. They never recovered from this loss. They kept losing wickets at short intervals. All the batters barring Pandya and Tilak Verma put up no resistance to RR Bowling attack.  Nobody created an impact on RR bowlers. Both RR bowling and fielding was superb today. The catches were brilliant especially the two catches by Hetmeyer were great. They carried an economy rate of  tmore than 8 which is great for a T20. When RR came out to bat, Jaiswal, Sampson, and Buttler departed early in the innings. This led to a glimmer of hope in the hearts...
