Huzoor- not this WC
 
Samson showing why he is the N0.1 Keeper batsman in India right now. He should start over Pant in the opener.
 
That's a bad captaincy by Pant, Samson is struggling/careful against spinners (specially against Kuldeep), should've bring them back..
 
2nd best lol where did you get that number? Hahah. He is a trundler and way past his best. Not good enough anymore.
Jake is beating Indian trundlers mercilessly.
Mcgurk is a much better batsman than journeyman honking import Chapman.
 
Lol why pant keep pacers on.. did he want Kuldeep & axar bowl 19 & 20th over?
 
Sanju Samson's controversial dismissal was the highlight as Delhi Capitals (221/8) beat Rajasthan Royals (201/8) in an IPL 2024 game. The nature of his dismissal is a matter of debate. Shai Hope caught him off Mukesh Kumar but he was very close to the boundary rope. The third umpire gave him out but Samson refused to budge and kept talking with the umpire. He kept RR's 222-run chase going after the loss of Riyan Parag, Jos Buttler, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Earlier, Yuzvendra Chahal became the first Indian to take 350 T20 wickets after scalping DC captain Rishabh Pant. There was also a first for Delhi Capitals opener Jake Fraser McGurk as he became the first player in IPL to score three fifties in less than 20 balls.
 
Mcgurk is a much better batsman than journeyman honking import Chapman.
Lol Chapman kidheron aa gya? Jake Mcgurk is better than most of the T20 batsmen especially most of the Pakistani batsmen and Indians as well.

He will keep bashing Indian trundlers in the meantime and he will make millions in doing so.

Pakistan's best phasst bowler shaheen himself is a mediocre trundler, all your bowlers are rubbish trundlers tbh.

And why do you care if he makes millions, sadness at that everyone except your players will rake in the dough.

You would probably rate him if he made thousands smashing your phaast bowlers in the psl
 

Five controversial umpire calls in IPL 2024; from Sanju Samson incident to Virat Kohli's dismissal off 'beamer'

1. Sanju Samson dismissal (DC vs RR, Match No.56)

The Samson incident is the most recent and so we look at that first. The RR captain had shared a 63-run stand with Jos Buttler that came in 33 balls, a 36-run stand off 31 balls with Riyan Parag and then a stand of 59 runs off 29 balls with Shubham Dubey. He pulled fast bowler Mukesh Kumar's fourth delivery of the 16th over flat towards the long-on boundary. Shai Hope took the catch seemingly just inches away from the boundary, with his momentum forcing him to stumble. He was not sure if his foot touched the boundary or not and the on-field umpires called on TV umpire Michael Gough, who adjudicated that Hope had taken the catch cleanly. Samson had started walking off initially, but then returned as the replays seemed to suggest that there was contact with the boundary. However, the decision that came on the big screen was out, and Samson then had a long and visibly heated argument with on-field umpires KN Ananthapadmanabhan and Ulhas Gandhe. Samson was later fined 30 per cent of his match fees for dissent.

2. Virat Kohli's dismissal (KKR vs RCB, Match No.36)

One of the most thrilling matches of the season also featured arguably its biggest flashpoint when veteran RCB star Virat Kohli fell off the first ball of the third over. Kohli had raced to 18 in seven balls as RCB chased a target of 223. Harshit Rana started the third over with a slow full toss that came at Kohli at an awkward height. The former RCB captain took evasive action and tried to defend the ball, he ended up getting a leading edge and it lobbed straight back to the bowler. The on-field umpire sent it up to the television umpire who adjudicated that Kohli is out. The batter tried to review but he couldn't do that since it was already the television umpire's decision. Replays showed that Kohli had been well outside his crease when he made contact with the ball and hawk-eye also suggested that it went below his waist. Kohli was incensed though, giving the umpires a piece of his mind before walking off. He was fined 50 per cent of his match fees.

3. Wide call against Mohit Sharma (RR vs GT, Match No.24)

Reviews against wide deliveries have been a topic of discussion this season, with a number of commentators feeling that they are a waste of time. There have been a few perplexing situations in this area though and none more than what transpired in the 17th over of RR's innings against Gujarat Titans on April 10. Mohit Sharma was the bowler and was bowling the last ball of the over. It was slow on a length well outside off against RR captain Samson, who was early on his swing at the delivery. Samson had moved outside off stump but the on-field umpire gave it wide, which led to GT captain Shubman Gill taking the review. Third umpire Ananthapadmanabhan reckoned that the ball was not wider than Samson's initial movement and asked his colleague to stay with his non-wide call, when the latter had in fact given it wide. The third umpire then asks for another replay and decides to let the original call stay. All of this could be heard on the stadium's PA system, leaving Gill perplexed. At the end of the comedy of errors, the wide call stayed.

4. Wide call against Ishant Sharma (LSG vs DC, Match No.26)

LSG had won the toss and chosen to bat first against DC on April 12. Veteran pacer Ishant Sharma angled the fourth delivery of the fourth over in from around the wicket and beat Devdutt Padikkal down the leg side. The on-field umpire called it wide and then signalled for a review from DC. The television umpire held up the appeal after which Pant could be seen talking to the on-field umpire. While it had initially looked like Pant never wanted to take the review and that the DC captain was unhappy at having inadvertently lost one, it was later revealed that Pant was questioning why the third umpire did not care to look at ultra edge.

5. Ayush Badoni run out (MI vs LSG, Match No.48)

For a change, have a run out call raising eyebrows. MI had made a good first of defending a meagre total of 144/7. It came down to LSG being five wickets down and needing 13 to win off the last 12 at the start of the 19th over bowled by MI captain Hardik Pandya. The first delivery was short and wide outside off, Ayush Badoni worked it towards the deep cover point region. The batters scrambled for two but Badoni was well off his mark when the throw came to wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan. However, the latter could not whip off the bails on first attempt and it looked like Badoni had made his ground by the time Kishan did so. The MI players themselves seemed convinced that Badoni is safe, the replays rolled at the third umpire's showed that it was 50-50 as to whether Badoni had grounded his bat or not. To everyone's surprise, the third umpire decided that this had not happened and Badoni had to walk.

 

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants​

Bhuvaneshwar still is a good T20 bowler. He is definitely better than Avesh Khan who somehow finds a spot in the Indian team.
 
Is today's pitch more suitable for bowling or are the LSG batters just can't bat?

When you have slow scoring losers at the top, any pitch will look difficult.

LSG don't have a plan B if DeKock fails. Rahul goes into a shell and wastes the entire PP.

This is a slow pitch but not as difficult as KL Rahul and Krunal made it to be.
 
Pakistan's best phasst bowler shaheen himself is a mediocre trundler, all your bowlers are rubbish trundlers tbh.

And why do you care if he makes millions, sadness at that everyone except your players will rake in the dough.

Lol hahaha here comes another patriotic soldier to the rescue.

Before posting fake facts check the stats who bowled most 140ks plus deliveries in world cup 2023 and before that 2022 world cup and before that 2021 world T20 and so many countless tournaments.

Don't disrespect your elders LOL.

I love watching Jake bashing Indian trundlers like no tomorrow.

Jake is the most exciting young talent right now.
 
Another pathetic innings from Rahul comes to an end. Too slow to be an opener. Acts like he is carrying the entire burden of the world.
KL Rahul is a big loser and chokes in almost all the important games barring a few. Playing another fine match losing inning today.
 
So many trundlers in the IPL. I have lost count of trundlers in IPL. LOL.
 
Lol hahahah Travis head now.
These Australians are destroying Indian trundlers to the pieces.
 
KL Rahul needs to be booted out of T20

Guy simply isn’t learning his lesson
 
This is a mauling and a half. :rahi

Some call a human rights organisation, a massacre has happened!


KL has finally devolved to his absolute worst.
 
SRH became the first team to score 100+ Runs twice in powerplay in IPL history
 
What exactly was KL’s plan today?

-He cowardly opted to bat first in order to avoid the possible phenta by SRH batters…

-Did nothing, showed zero intent with the bat.

-And still couldn’t avoid the almighty phenta by the SRH openers.

Guy just pulled an Eric Ten Haag on his franchise
 
SunRisers Hyderabad (167/0 in 9.4 overs) thrash Lucknow Super Giants (165/4) by 10 wickets in an IPL 2024 game
 
What exactly was KL’s plan today?

-He cowardly opted to bat first in order to avoid the possible phenta by SRH batters…
I think once all the international teams start hitting 250s, all the teams with statpadders will start chase to save their face and stats
