How Ellyse Perry’s six-wicket haul led RCB into WPL 2024 playoffs

[ad_1] There are very few things Ellyse Perry, the athlete, cannot do. One of the best fielders in the world, she is a menace for batters trying to find the boundary rope. Her batting was always incredibly efficient, she has even evolved to get better with changing times. She is a footballer, in more than one sense of the word. She has scored a goal for the Matildas at the Fifa Women’s World Cup and has also won Australia a cricket World Cup by deflecting the ball off her feet.But it all started with the ball in hand. Not just in her international career, but all the way back as a kid. Perry used to follow her brother Damien, three years older, trying to do whatever he was up to. She remembers their dad Mark teaching him how to bowl one night in the kitchen at home. “I was like ‘oh, I wa...

WPL 2024: Yastika Bhatia, Amelia Kerr shine as Mumbai Indians put on a stroke-making masterclass to thump RCB

[ad_1] On a day when Mumbai Indians restricted a strong Royal Challengers Bangalore batting line-up to 131/6 and then comfortably won the match, a large part of the credit must of course go to the bowlers. But the highlight of the night at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru was the exhibition of strokeplay from MI batters. In their chase of 133, Mumbai batters hit 19 fours and three sixes for a total of 94 runs through boundaries, a whopping 70.67% of their total. That Mumbai had four all rounders in their top five of the batting order, who bowled 14 overs between them, was another reminder of their elite core of multidimensional cricketers. Leading the side once again in the absence of Harmanpreet Kaur, Nat Sciver-Brunt rotated her bowlers around nicely to never let RCB gain any batting...

IPL 2023: MI look SKY-ward; RCB downward

[ad_1] How did Suryakumar Yadav react to the fall of the openers in the fifth over in a 200-run chase? Like a boss. In an admirably risk-free in-control knock, he plundered a weak RCB attack without much fuss to ensure the game was done with nearly four overs to spare. Even Faf du Plessis knew that 200 wasn’t going to be enough on this batting beauty. In the post-match chat, he would say with a wry smile, “You have to bluff! Tell your team that 200 is a great score and the ball is holding up!” His team could only manage 68 runs in their last eight overs, with just 47 coming from the last five; not the kind of finish they needed considering their limp bowling attack. Surya’s risk-free classy violence When Wanindu Hasaranga took out both Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma in the 5th over, the...

IPL 2023, MI vs RCB Emotional Rollercoaster: Rohit’s meme run continues, lame lap shots & Anuj sizzles with the gloves

[ad_1] Virat Kohli has loved charging the pacers in this IPL, a move that has considerably upped his strike rate in the Powerplays this year. And so, he went down the track in the first over to Jason Behrendorff but it shaped out to be a slog. He wasn’t up to the pitch but that’s common with the pacers; in these scenarios he usually goes for the aerial on-the-up punch in the V, but this time, he went for a swipe across the line and unsurprisingly edged behind. Somehow, both the umpire and Kohli missed the fat edge and a DRS was taken and Kohli threw his head back at the replay and briskly strode out. One ball prior to that, Faf du Plessis was dropped by Wadehra at midwicket and that brought Kohli on strike. Would Mumbai have preferred du Plessis’s wicket to Kohli’s given a choice? – Sri...

IPL 2023: Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli make it an open and shut case

[ad_1] The up and coming Tilak Varma demonstrated his big-hitting prowess as well as his composure, but a masterly show by Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis put the 20-year-old’s effort into shade, as Bangalore chased 172 in 16.2 overs and eight wickets in hand. It was a statement of intent as much as a victory. Oldguards put on show Towards the end of RCB’s stroll, Kolhi and Du Plessis were like a pair of old friends having some Sunday fun in a club game, their sole motivation, to test each other’s skills and athleticism. For one thunderous Kohli stroke, Du Plessis would hit two; for one tight Du Plessi single, Kohli would sneak. Beyond a point, when the clash was effectively settled, both seemed to compete among themselves. What unfolded was thrilling batting, two masters of the game bat...

IPL 2023: RCB’s Mohammed Siraj and Dinesh Karthik collide trying to take MI skipper Rohit Sharma’s catch

[ad_1] Royal Challengers bowler Mohammed Siraj and wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik collided head on with each other in an attempt to take Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma’s catch in their Indian premier League encounter on Sunday. Rohit had gone for a pull but he ended up getting a top edge and as the ball went up in the air, Siraj and Karthik both ran towards it take the catch. Both did not see each other and crashed into each other as the ball dropped safely giving a reprieve to Rohit. After both Siraj and Karthik dragged back to their feet, Karthik seemed to gesture that he had called for the catch. Siraj replied that he didn’t hear any. Perhaps, his cry for catch was lost in the deafening noise in the crowd. pic.twitter.com/C1JqWbnRyt — Main Dheet Hoon (@MainDheetHoon69) April 2, 20...
