Shai Hope played so crap in the PSL, but looking good in the IPL :ROFLMAO:

PSL is bowling powerhouse league and gold standard of cricket. Scoring runs ain't easy there. IPL has full of trundlers and players generally find it easy to score

:kp
 
Pant looked good. It is a miracle that he was able to move just as well as he could do before the accident. Looked impressive.

Yeah PSL, has slower pitches and I think that was the reason for low scores.
This PSL, the Pak pacers were average tbh (except Naseem). PSL has more trudders than IPL imo
 
Delhi is playing exactly how they are expected to play. What a horrible collapse on this wicket. They do this every year.
 
Until last over i thought it was the bowler Ishan Porel 😬..
BTW, thanks Porel for that treatment to Harshal 🙏🏻..
 
Dhawan is still better than many overhyped batters in current Indian team. Its just that he doesn't got PR team like others.
 
Ishant sharma still bowl 140+ delivery why India dropped him from test cricket and India playing with that mukesh kumar
 
Ishant bowled well tbh . Bowling figure would have better had DC fielded well..

While Khaleel continue to bowl rubbish..
 
Kuldeep denied yet another wicket as stubbs dropped a catch .
4 over 20 runs 2 wickets .
 
Dhawan is still better than many overhyped batters in current Indian team. Its just that he doesn't got PR team like others.
He doesn't play domestic. Is just about OK in IPL's. His hype is quite proportional to his output.
 

TATA IPL 2024 Match 02 , PBKS Vs DC

Punjab Kings started off TATA IPL 2024 on a winning note as they edged Delhi Capitals by four wickets in Match 2 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.

In the first IPL match at the new venue, Sam Curran (63 off 47) and Liam Livingstone (38* off 21) played crucial knocks to help PBKS chase down 175 after a collective bowling effort had restricted DC to 174/9.

Chasing 175, PBKS got off to a brisk start but lost openers Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow inside the Powerplay. Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow added 34 from the first three overs. They were off the blocks in style hitting four fours in the first over from Khaleel Ahmed. Ishant Sharma then provided the breakthrough as he cleaned up Dhawan.DC had another one in the over as Bairstow was run out at the non-striker's end after Sharma got finger-tips to a straight drive from Prabhsimran Singh and Bairstow was found short on the replay.

Impact Player Prabhsimran Singh cracked a couple of fours in the next over to take PBKS to 53/2. DC received a blow int he final over of the Powerplay as Ishant had to leave the field after injuring his leg while fielding a ball. DC kept things tight and that brought a wicket as Kuldeep Yadav had Prabhsimran Singh caught at long on. Yadav struck again in the next over as he had Jitesh Sharma stumped via quick hands from Rishabh Pant.

Kuldeep could have had another one in his final over but Stubbs dropped Curran at long on when on 34.

With 63 needed off 36, Curran and Liam Livingstone upped the ante, smacking two fours and a six off Mitchell Marsh, taking 18 off the 15th over. Curran brought up his fifty off 39 balls. The pair hit the fifth gear and put PBKS in the driver's seat before Curran departed for 64(47) in the penultimate over, cleaned up by Khaleel. The left-arm pacer had two in two as he had Shashank Singh caught behind off a bouncer. Khaleel could have had a third in the over but Warner dropped Harpreet Brar at long on off the last ball of the over.

With 6 needed off 6, Sumit Kumar started off with a couple of wides. The third one was a dot but Livingstone finished it off in style with a huge six over deep mid-wicket to win it for the home side.

Earlier, Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and elected to field. It was a special moment for Rishabh Pant, who made his comeback to competitive cricket after suffering a life-threatening road mishap on December 30th, 2022.

Delhi Capitals got off to an aggressive start but lost Mitchell Marsh early. Warner and Marsh hit three fours and three sixes via some powerful strokeplay in their 39-run stand before Arshdeep Singh dismissed Marsh after being hit for a six off the earlier ball in the fourth over.

Warner, though, continued to attack and brought up DC's fifty with a cracking four and a scintillating scooped six off Rabada in the next over. DC reached 54/1 at the end of the Powerplay. Warner and Shai Hope continued the momentum with a 35-run stand off 28 balls but against the run of play, Harshal Patel provided a vital breakthrough as he had David Warner caught behind off a bouncer via a successful review.

Rishabh Pant then arrived at a crease to a standing ovation and rapturous applause.

It sparked a collapse as, two overs later, Patel struck again to have Pant (18 off 13) caught at backward point. And in the next over, Harpreet Brar had Ricky Bhui caught behind off another terrific review. DC lost half their side in the 14th over. Tristan Stubbs too didn't last long as he was caught brilliantly at wide long off by Shashank Singh, off Rahul Chahar.

DC went from 94/2 to 128 for six in space of five overs. The wickets kept tumbling as Axar Patel, who looked confident at the crease with a 12-ball 20, was then run out in the 18th over.

DC sent in Abishek Porel as their Impact Player, replacing Ricky Bhui, and he provided a crucial late burst, with a scintillating 10-ball 32* to help DC post 174/9. Porel smashed 4,6,4,4,6 to score 25 runs in the final over.

PBKS introduced Prabhsimran Singh as their Impact Player in the last over of the first innings.

 
Nitish Rana was dismissed just once during the powerplay overs last year, averaging 94.00 at a rate of 8.05rpo.
 
Innings break: Dre Russ propelled KKR to a total of 208/7 in 20 overs with his unbeaten 64 off just 25 balls
 
Things are heated between Harshit Rana and Mayank Agarwal.

Rinku sing is a very good catcher and fielder and Chakravarthy is a terrible one..
 
Poor from Shahabas, unnecessary throw his wicket away and Klassen remain in non-strike..
 
My blood boils when they pay so much to these gora people.
Why?
Starc even ignored ipl from past 10 years.
Still paying this much and would you believe it the real match winner bumrah is getting lesser than starc cumins and even chris green if i am not wrong.
That guy is your international team asset and you are paying more to these bottles? Just because they won a world cup?
 
That's winners mentality right there. Hyderabad bottle it after all the hard work was done
 
Who in the PSL can whack Mitchel Starc for 3 sixes in an over? Asif Ali?
 
KKR vs SRH Match 3, IPL 2024: All-Round Andre Russell, Harshit Rana Guide Kolkata Knight Riders To Nervy Four-Run Win

Andre Russel's all-round effort headlined Kolkata Knight Riders' sweaty four-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL match at Eden Gardens on Saturday. Russell's brutal unbeaten 64 off 25 balls with three fours and seven sixes and Phil Salt's more pragmatic 54 off 40 balls guided KKR to 208 for seven. Left-arm pacer T Natarajan was their most successful bowler with a three-wicket haul (3/32). At several points, SRH threatened to chase 208 down, particularly when Heinrich Klaasen (63, 29b, 8x6s) went berserk in the backend of the innings. But the Hyderabad side fell agonisingly close to the target with Harshit Rana saving 12 runs in the final over.

Got to give credit to Rana , after that six it was big ask , but he kept his cool and bowled slower balls. Needs a big heart
 
Dont like Harshit's attitude. Bit like Hardik, acting like superstars..
Why? He gave a send off.. After a well planned wicket. Not necessary but not an issue either.

Players who rile up others have to keep performing otherwise they get served themselves, keeps them on their toes. And Rana delivered when it mattered
 
Dont like Harshit's attitude. Bit like Hardik, acting like superstars..
I would rather a fast bowler be warm blooded. Not every pacer can be cool and easygoing like Bumrah.

Rana is young. Let him be little angry.
 
KKR vs SRH: Harshit Rana fined 60 percent of Match fee for angry send-off

Kolkata Knight Riders' final over hero in the thriller against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Harshit Rana, has been fined 60 percent of his match fee for the angry send-offs he gave to both Mayank Agarwal and Heinrich Klaasen during the match in Kolkata on March 23. The young Indian pacer was the star for the Kolkata-based franchise as he delivered a fine final over to ensure his team won the match and kept the SRH side at bay.

Harshit, who ensured KKR got over the line with a fantastic 20th over, did have a couple of run-ins during the match with SRH batters. Notably, he gave Mayank Agarwal an angry send-off early in the second innings before doing the same for Heinrich Klaasen in the final over. His dismissal of Mayank and the celebration was criticised by Sunil Gavaskar on commentary.

The IPL released a statement saying that Harshit had committed two Level 1 offences under Article 2.5 of the IPL's Code of Conduct and was fined 10 and 50 percent of his match fees respectively. The statement also said that the pacer accepted the Match referee's sanctions.

"Kolkata Knight Riders bowler Harshit Rana has been fined a total of 60 percent of his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during his team's Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on March 23."

"Rana committed two Level 1 offences under Article 2.5 of the IPL's Code of Conduct. He was fined 10 percent and 50 percent of his match fees for the two respective offences. Rana admitted to the two offences and accepted the Match Referee's sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee's decision is final and binding," read the statement from IPL.

How well did Harshit Rana perform against SRH?

On a day when Mitchell Starc went for more than 50 runs, Harshit was truly one of KKR's fine performers on the day with the ball. The pacer would pick figures of 3 for 33 in his 4 overs and was also given the task of bowling the final one of the match.

Despite conceding a six off the first ball, Harshit would bring things back into KKR's favour by dismissing Shahbaz Ahmed and Klaasen to defend the total and help his side win by 4 runs in a high-scoring thriller at the Eden Gardens.
