HEARTBREAK GALORE FOR RCB FANS AGAINST LSG - IPL 2024

-

IPL is turning 17 this year. When IPL was launched in 2008, no one was sure if the format would work and would die hard cricket fans take to the new format. Over the years, IPL has become one of the biggest sports franchises in the world. The fan base for IPL is huge. It is not just confined to a city, state, or country, it is worldwide. The four franchises with an insane fan following include – MI, CSK, KKR, and RCB. Out of these four teams, CSK and MI have won the title five teams each and KKR has won twice.

RCB has disappointed its fans time and again every year from 2008 onwards. Evey year we the fans of RCB are hopeful, “THIS WILL BE THE YEAR…………” and every year we are disappointed. The disappointment is not just with not winning the title, but at times the team plays so much below their potential. That seemed to be the case today in RCB vs LSG match.

Interestingly, when LSG started their batting innings, it was a sense of déjà vu for RCB fans. Quinton De Kock played for RCB in 2018, Rahul in 2013 and 2016, Paddikal in 2020 and 2021 and Stoinis in 2019. The stalwart of the batting for LSG was Quinton De Kock. He scored a brilliant 81 off 56 balls. LSG reached 181 at the end of 20 overs, with a great cameo from Pooran.

For RCB, barring Lormor nobody even seemed to be putting up a fight. The top order barring Kohli has flopped miserably in the first three matches. The find of the tournament is Mayank Yadav. This 21 year old is not just the fastest but is as accurate also. In today’s match, he took 3 wickets for just 14 runs in 4 overs. Touch wood!!

Another RCB match, another RCB fan heartbreak. When will the circle of heartbreak change for the RCB fans?

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
