Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Dinesh Karthik’s breath-taking shots light up Wankhede in high-scoring MI vs RCB clash

[ad_1] Synopsis: Not many would be surprised that RCB are rapidly sinking out of the IPL 2024. They have had one batsman in Virat Kohli, they really don’t have any quality bowlers, and though Dinesh Karthik stepped up today after a rare Kohli failure to set a 197-run target, the writing was always on the wall, especially with the night dew sweeping in on a flat track.“As a bowling unit, we don’t have many weapons. It then comes down to our batsmen. We lack penetration from a bowling perspective. We batsmen have to get to 220…” Faf du Plessis would echo the worst-kept secret in IPL about his team at the end of a severe hammering. Ishan Kishan kept quiet for the first five balls in the first over of the chase, taking just a single. That was the only time RCB’s bowlers seemed to have a plan...

IPL 2024: Will it be happy homecoming for Mumbai Indians and Hardik Pandya? | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] MUMBAI: Almost 22 years ago, a chilling act shocked the sporting world. When Luis Figo showed up in bitter rivals Real Madrid jersey to take a corner kick in an El Clasico clash at Barcelona’s famed Camp Nou, a butchered head of a pig was hurled at him. The severed skull laid near Figo’s feet demonstrated the extreme hatred that Catalan team’s fans had developed for the former Portuguese captain, who had, two years back, chosen to be a ‘Galactico’ at a handsome paycheck of 44 million pounds. While things are unlikely to go that level at the Wankhede here on Monday night, there could be resentment in the hearts of passionate Mumbai Indians fans when Hardik Pandya having replaced Rohit Sharma leads them out against Rajasthan Royals in one of most highly-anticipated IPL matches.

Most sixes, most runs: Records tumble as Sunrisers Hyderabad out bat Mumbai Indians to seal their first win

[ad_1] Synopsis: It was a six-fest as both teams combined to score the highest number of sixes (38) and most number of runs (523) in a single game but it was Sunrisers Hyderabad who sealed the game with smart death bowling. Mumbai’s stubbornness of not using more of Jasprit Bumrah in the first 10 of the bowling innings also played a part. The cracking sound the bat made when Travis Head clobbered Maphaka for six and followed up with a pulled six would have given a nostalgic feeling to the crowd who have seen David Warner rule the arena like a boss in the past. If Head reached his half-century in 18 balls and broke the record to become the fastest to reach the mark for SRH, Abhishek Sharma would soon break the record in 16 balls. Head played a few cheeky shots through the third-man region...
