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 followed by Abhishek Sharma who hit 63 off 23 balls. Ans then Klaasen hitting 80 off 34 balls was simply great.

MI has made a great start by scoring 50 in the first 3 overs. Is there a twist in the tale for SRH?

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
