IPL 2024: Is the length ball more valuable than the yorker? | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] "Don't bowl length in the death overs" was a maxim often used by commentators, coaches, and experts when they saw bowlers disappear into the stands in the closing stages of ODIs and T20s.IPL ORANGE CAP | IPL PURPLE CAP | IPL POINTS TABLEWith bats getting bigger and the batters getting stronger, length balls were often considered unforced errors from the bowlers. However, this IPL, the bowlers have hit the three-quarter length of the pitch with minimal damage.On largish grounds like Jaipur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Mullanpur, the hard length ball that is bashed into the wicket with three fielders guarding the square boundary, often results in a non-boundary ball. It is not a delivery which tails in at pace and knocks the stumps down that often gets featured in the highlights packag...

IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals make heavy weather of modest target before Shimron Hetmyer seals deal against Punjab Kings

[ad_1] Synopsis: A game neither team seemingly wanted to win meandered along until Kagiso Rabada threatened to seize it for Punjab in the middle overs of the chase before Shimron Hetmyer ensured that Rajasthan Royals prevailed in the final over. With Jos Buttler out of the game due to injury, Rajasthan Royals took the decision to open with bowling all-rounder Tanush Kotian. Perhaps, the plan was to just stay there and runs would come, but it didn’t quite go that way as both openers – Kotian and Yashasvi Jaiswal – dawdled along. Only 43 runs came in the Powerplay and Kotian fell in the 9th over to leg-spinner Liam Livingstone, rushing out for a big hit but failing to connect and getting bowled for 31-ball 24. Jaiswal too couldn’t really break free as he could only make a 28-ball 39. Rabad...

IPL 2024: RCB’s Virat Kohli proves a point ahead of T20 WC | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] BENGALURU: Over the years, Virat Kohli has followed a familiar template in the shorter format. The RCB star accelerates gradually after having spent some time in the middle. But on Monday night against Punjab Kings, one witnessed Kohli take an aggressive route from the outset while scoring a match-winning 49-ball 77 at the Chinnaswamy stadium. The way Kohli paced his innings in a dominating fashion stood out as much as the manner in which he smashed the Punjab bowlers on both sides of the wicket. In a post-match interview, Kohli had a clear message for his detractors: “I know my name is quite attached to just promoting the game in many parts of the world when it comes to T20 cricket. But, I’ve still got it, I guess.” Kohli slammed five fours in the first eight balls he faced, some...

[ad_1] Let's do a search for synonyms of ridiculous. Even if we find the best matching word, it would be a struggle to describe the events that unfolded on Day One of the second Test at Cape Town on Wednesday.For the record, 23 wickets fell, and 270 runs were scored. Only four times have more wickets tumbled in a single day of Test cricket. Mohammed Siraj took 6-15 in an untiring, lung-bursting nine-over spell to blow away the hosts for 55 in 23.2 overs, their lowest score post readmission, after retiring skipper Dean Elgar won the toss and batted under sunny, blue skies.India, who seemed to be cruising at 153 for 4, with KL Rahul (8) and Virat Kohli (46) looking solid, despite the odd play and miss, lost six wickets for zero in 11 balls to be all out for 153, earning a lead of 98.

Carnage in Cape Town as India become first team to lose six wickets without scoring in Test cricket

[ad_1] At 153/4, India looked in a promising position on Day 1 of the Cape Town Test. The bowlers had bundled out South Africa for 55 and with a near hundred run lead, the visitors had Virat Kohli (46) in the middle alongside last game’s centurion, KL Rahul. Which is when the lightning struck. Six wickets off 11 deliveries with not a single run added on the board. For the first time in a single Test innings, a team had lost as many wickets without scoring any run. “If someone went round the corner for a DUMP and has come back, India has been bowled out for 153,” former India captain Ravi Shastri would sum the chaos up on the commentary. It’d start with Lungi Ngidi claiming three wickets in one over, removing Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah. In the next over, Kagiso Rabada woul...
