3 sixes by Jacks agianst Starc. This is what every modern batsman needs in T20. You have to maximize overs. When you watch the guys like Mcgurk, Phil salt, Head, Jacks smashing the ball for six with effortless ease it wonders why are we having traditional players in the set up. I know Rohit has hit 500 sixes in T20 history. second only to Gayle. But he doesn't do bang bang bang anymore. Not enough 20 runs over. Kohli hits six only against 140 plus deliveries. If it is slow or spin not enough.
 
England top 3 of Salt, Butler, Jacks

They are getting ready for the World Cup boy!

Starc is toothless. KKR wasted money on him.

He was always an expensive bowler and T20 format is not his game. He has Yorkers and that's about it. He has no variations in his arsenal. HIs style works in longer formats.

KKR fell for the recent Worldcup win.

Absolutely. Longer formats he is a gun. T20 is not his cup of tea.
 
Lol has Starc really justified his $3 million paycheque?

Shashank and Ashutosh wasted down the order once again. They should bat at 3 and 4 respectively and Sam Curran should come down the order.

TATA IPL 2024 Match 36 , KKR Vs RCB - Match Report​


A solid batting effort, led by captain Shreyas Iyer (50 off 36), coupled with a collective bowling and fielding effort, helped Kolkata Knight Riders beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in a last-over thriller in Match 36 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Mitchell Starc held his nerve in the last over and defended 21 runs as Phil Salt pulled off a brilliant athletic run out off the last ball to win it for KKR after Karn Sharma had provided a massive scare with three sixes in the final over.

Salt laid the platform for KKR after being put into bat with a blistering 12-ball 48; Shreyas Iyer steered the ship in the middle overs; and Ramandeep Singh provided the final flourish with a 9-ball 24 to power KKR to 222/6.

A collective bowling effort saw Andre Russell (3/25), Sunil Narine (2/34) and Harshit Rana (2/33) provide breakthroughs at crucial intervals as Starc held his nerve to defend 21 off the last over and win it for the hosts.

Defending 223, KKR dismissed RCB openers inside the Powerplay. The home team got the early breakthrough of Virat Kohli as Harshit Rana had him caught and bowled off a slower dipping high full toss. Kohli reviewed it unsuccessfully. He looked good for his 18 off seven balls, which included one four and two sixes. Captain Faf du Plessis followed as Venkatesh Iyer pulled off a fantastic low diving catch at mid on off Varun Chakaravarthy. Will Jacks, though, kept the run flowing as he hammered four sixes and three fours, including three muscular sixes and a four off Starc, in the sixth over, to take RCB to 74/2 at the end of the Powerplay.

KKR introduced Suyash Sharma as their Impact Player, replacing Rinku Singh in the seventh over. Jacks and Patidar continued the momentum with some powerful hitting as Jacks brought up his fifty off 29 balls with a six and a four off Varun Chakaravarthy. The duo added 102 runs off just 48 balls.

Shreyas then brought Andre Russell into the attack, and he turned it around for KKR, sending back the set Jacks (55 off 32) and Patidar (52 off 23) in the same over. Another bowling change brought rewards as Narine sent back Green and Mahipal Lomror in the same over to reduce RCB to 155/6.

With 68 needed off 42, Dinesh Karthik and Impact Player Suyash Prabhudessai got together, stabilised things and added 32 runs but the impressive Rana came back to dismiss Prabhudessai in the 18th over. Rana bowled an excellent over and gave away just six to bring the equation to 31 needed off 12.

Karthik cracked a six and a four off Russell in the penultimate over but Russell bounced back hard to provide a huge moment in the game as he sent back Karthik off the last ball of the over. Karthik shuffled way across and looked to scoop but miscued it and the keeper made no mistake.

With 21 needed off six, a thrilling finish ensued. Karn Sharma smashed a flat six over backward point first ball. He edged the next ball, but it didn't carry to the keeper. Karn cracked the next one over covers and then another one over backward point for consecutive sixes to bring the equation down to 3 needed off 2. There was another twist next ball as Starc pulled off a brilliant caught and bowled to send back the rampant Karn. With 3 needed off the last ball, Lockie Ferguson jammed the last ball to deep cover and scampered through for risky two. The throw from the deep from Ramandeep was wide, but Salt did brilliantly to collect it, dive and break the stumps as Ferguson fell short. It sparked exuberant celebrations as KKR pulled off a thrilling one-run win.

Earlier, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis won the toss and elected to field.

KKR got off to a brisk start as Phil Salt and Sunil Narine added 56 for the opening wicket. Salt took over the acceleration to start off, as Narine struggled to get off the mark. Narine was hit on the toe off a cracking yorker from Yash Dayal and had to be attended to by the physio in the second over. Narine got off the mark off the eighth ball as he slashed one just over the fielder at cover for a four to get off the mark.

Salt hit the fifth gear in the fourth over as he welcomed Lockie Ferguson into the attack with two sixes and four fours, making it a 28-run fourth over. He unleashed a slew of powerful strokes to set the tone and race to 48 off 11.

Du Plessis continued Siraj for his third over, and it brought a much-needed breakthrough for RCB as his clever slower one from the RCB pacer had the rampaging Salt caught at deep mid-wicket. One brought three as another slower one did the trick with a back-of-the-hand slower one from Dayal having Narine caught at long off.

And then two balls later, Cameron Green pulled off a spectacular one-handed catch at mid-wicket to dismiss Angkrish Raghuvanshi as KKR reached 75/3 at the end of the Powerplay.

Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer kept the runs ticking, but Green made another crucial impact, having Iyer caught at deep square leg against the run of play.

The visitors pulled things back for a bit before Rinku Singh showed urgency, smashing a huge six off Karn Sharma. He, along with Shreyas, added 40 off 29. In between, Green put down a tough caught and bowled chance of Shreyas.

Just when another partnership was blossoming, Ferguson came back to get the huge wicket of Rinku Singh, caught at short fine leg off a slower short ball. Russell was caught behind off a high full toss the next ball, but it was declared a NO Ball as it was above waist-height.

Ferguson bounced back strongly after the 28-run first over to keep things in check and give away just 11 runs from his last two overs as things slowed down for KKR. Russell and Shreyas then pressed the accelerator button, taking 22 runs off the 17th over from Dayal as Shreyas brought up his 50 off 35 balls with a six and a four.

Shreyas, though, departed soon courtesy of a very good catch at long off from Du Plessis off Green in the next over.

Ramandeep Singh arrived and took off straightaway, cracking two sixes and a four off Siraj in the penultimate over. He, along with Russell, cracked three fours in the final over to propel KKR to 222/6. Ramandeep remained unbeaten on 24 off nine balls, while Russell was not out on 27 off 20.

Any batsman who doesn't show enough intent in T20 format is a statpadder. Heck even PUjara can play T20. Smith can do. They have good batting skills
 
R Sai Kishore starred on a dominant day for the spinners as Gujarat Titans tamed Punjab Kings by three wickets for their fourth win in the 2024 IPL in Mullanpur on Sunday. The spin trio of Sai Kishore (4/33), Rashid Khan (1/15) and Noor Ahmed (2/20) exposed an ill-equipped Punjab Kings with their guile to dismiss them for a below-par 142. Liam Livingstone, who juggles between leg-break and off-spin, struck twice in the middle overs to keep Punjab Kings alive in the game. However, he did not get much support from fellow spinner Harpreet Brar, who leaked 35 in his four overs in a low-scoring affair.

With 42 runs to get off 30 balls, Titans eventually recorded a comfortable win in 19.1 overs courtesy a pressure releasing cameo from Rahul Tewatia (36 not out off 16).

It was Gujarat Titans' fourth win in eight games while Punjab Kings suffered their sixth loss in eight matches.

Shubman Gill (35 off 29) got tough runs at the top of the order before falling to a mistimed aerial hit off Livingstone. Sai Sudharsan (31 off 33) also found stroke making hard while the dangerous David Miller was Livingstone's second victim.

Punjab Kings were able to apply the pressure in the middle overs but Tewatia defused their threat with a timely onslaught comprising six boundaries.

Earlier, there was enough help for the spinners and Punjab Kings' surrender against Sai Kishore and Co made the visitors' task easier.

Punjab Kings, who have been among the worst performing batting teams in the powerplay this season, made brisk start to reach 45 for no loss in five overs.

However, their innings went downhill thereafter as the spin trio of Sai Kishore, Rashid and Noor exposed the opposition with their guile.

Struggling up till now, Prabhsimran Singh (35 off 21) found some much needed rhythm before he fell in the sixth over, triggering a dramatic collapse.

Soon after guiding Mohit Sharma (2/32) for a six over third man, Prabhsimran charged down the wicket only to be caught behind.

The spin trio then broke the backbone of Punjab batting. Left-arm spinner Sai Kishore, who led Tamil Nadu to the Ranji Trophy semi-final this season, varied his pace effectively to trouble the opposition batters.

Pressure was maintained from other end as well via Noor and Rashid.

Noor's first victim was Rilee Rossouw (9 off 7), who was trapped lbw while attempting a sweep shot. Skipper Sam Curran (20 off 19) departed in the following over from Rashid and the DRS call that ruled him lbw left him and his opponents surprised.

Livingstone (6 off 9) tried to work a Noor googly towards mid-wicket but leading edge went to Rahul Tewatia stationed at the first slip.

Sai Kishore also got rid of an out of sorts Jitesh Sharma (13 off 12) to make it 86 for five in 12th over.

As often has been the case this season, the uncapped duo of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma were required to do the heavy lifting but they fell cheaply this time to make matters worse for Punjab.

Thanks to Harpreet Brar (29 off 12), the hosts got past the 140-run mark.
 
The Indian Premier League is in full swing with four weeks of the group stage complete.

Next time, Rohit should avoid Boult. What an embarrassment! He has no clue against him. This is the same story over the years.

Poor kid. He is not as bad as people troll him on social media. He should move to a weaker team where he might get a chance to play. He will never get off the bench with MI.

You cannot blame him for being the son of a rich and famous dad. Hid dad could afford the coaching and training. So he gave his son the training he could eaisly afford.
If Arjun wants a chance, he needs to improve his speeds. He bowls in 130's which a million others in India can do.

130 is enough if you bring "something" to table sike Sandeep Sharma.

Arjun is as mediocre as they come.

This is why he should become a 140k bowler who can bat. That is his only chance of playing for MI or even for India. At his current level, he will never.

Innings Break

Mumbai Indians 179/9 in 20 overs (T Varma 65, S Sharma 5/18) vs Rajasthan Royals in an IPL 2024 game
 
Decent total. I feel MI are about 25 runs short to feel compfortable.

If Bumrah can remove Jaiswal and Buttler cheaply, then its game on. If these stay till the end of power play, the match will be over by over 17.
 
Sandeep Sharma is the most underrated bowler in the IPL.. he's been excellent for both SRH & RR, especially with new ball.. and this season he's been excellent at death too..
 
Mumbai Indians 179/9

Rajasthan Royals (18.4/20 overs) 183/1

RR won by 9 wickets (with 8 balls remaining)
 
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a sensational century as Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians by nine wickets in their IPL 2024 match. Chasing 180, RR never looked in trouble as Jaiswal was assisted brilliantly by Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson.

Earlier, Sandeep Sharma took his first five-wicket haul in the IPL to restrict MI to 179/9 in 20 overs. Tilak Varma was the top scorer for MI with 65 while Nehal Wadhera scored a quickfire 49.
 
No way Agarkar/Rohit can conspire to keep jaiswal out from the squad now.

OTOH, they might just shaft Parag and Rinku citing contradictory logic.

Rinku because he didn't make any notable score this IPL although he has played perfectly for his role at KKR.

Parag because even though he's been by the best Indian batsman on show this IPL, he has no international experience.
