    IPL 2024 Final Live: KKR coach Bharat Arun on team’s success

    “I think it was pretty tough, the last two years. It was touch and go – we didn’t qualify. It needed a lot of introspection and now we can savour this moment. He (Harshit Rana) has been outstanding. It’s about backing your strengths. I think Mitch (Mitchell Starc) coming into the team boosted the confidence of other youngsters in the side. He is probably the best bowler in the world. Once he understood the Indian conditions, he was excellent. Spinners mature with age, and with Sunny (Sunil Narine) and Varun (Chakaravarthy) bowling in tandem, it was superb. He (Narine) brought a totally different dimension to our batting. It was Gautam (Gambhir) who insisted that he opened and it paid dividends. It’s a great night and now it’s time to celebrate,” said KKR bowling coach Bharat Arun.

    24 runs have come off the last two overs. Despite losing three wickets inside powerplay, SunRisers Hyderabad have maintained a superb scoring rate of 11.57. They just need one partnership to be in complete control of the game.

    SRH 81/3 (7)

  • 19:56 (IST)

    SRH vs RR Live: OUT!

    Another one goes down! Trent Boult has dismissed Aiden Markram and SRH are in all sorts of trouble. It was a length ball outside off and Markram edged it into the hands of Yuzvendra Chahal at first slip. This is a double-wicket over from Boult.

    SRH 57/3 (5)

  • 19:53 (IST)

    SRH vs RR Live: WICKET!

    Trent Boult gets the wicket of Rahul Tripathi. It was a slower bouncer and Tripathi hit it right into the hands of Yuzvendra Chahal at short third man. He departs for 37 off 15 balls. Meanwhile, it is a second wicket for Boult.

    SRH 55/2 (4.3)

  • 19:48 (IST)

    IPL 2024 Live: Expensive over

    Rahul Tripathi took on Ravichandran Ashwin for two consecutive fours and a six in the over. A total of 16 runs came in the over. This is some terrific batting from Rahul Tripathi. As Travis Head is taking his time out there at the middle, Tripathi is making sure SRH keep going at a good pace.

    SRH 45/1 (4)

  • 19:44 (IST)

    SRH vs RR Live: FOUR!

    A beautiful shot from Rahul Tripathi on the off side for a four. Trent Boult bowled a back of a length delivery with a bit of width on offer and Tripathi, the man in form, hit it away for a four. 7 runs came off the second over of Trent Boult.

    SRH 29/1 (3)

  • 19:40 (IST)

    SRH vs RR Live: FOUR!

    That did not come from the middle of the bat of Rahul Tripathi but he will take the four. Tripathi went for a sweep shot but got an edge on the Ravichandran Ashwin delivery. The ball sailed over the short fine leg fielder for a four. 

    SRH 22/1 (2)

    11 runs came off Yash Dayal’s third over. Rajasthan Royals need 19 runs in 18 balls. This is their game to lose from this point. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are now now staring at defeat. To win the game from this stage, RCB need nothing short of magic.

    RR 154/4 (17)

  • 23:06 (IST)

    IPL 2024 Live: Rajasthan Royals in driving seat

    Mohammed Siraj was hit for 11 runs in the 15th over before Cameron Green was taken to the cleaners for 17 runs. Shimron Hetmyer started the Green over with a six before Riyan Parag hit another six and a four in it. Rajasthan Royals need 30 runs in 24 balls. 

    RR 143/4 (16)

  • 22:53 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: RR need 58 in 36!

    Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a slight edge over Rajasthan Royals now. RR need 58 runs in 36 balls but with a new batter Shimron Hetmyer at one end. Riyan Parag is playing an impressive knock and he needs to take his innings deep to help RR win this game.

    RR 115/4 (14)

  • 22:49 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Run-out!

    Virat Kohli effected a sensational run-out to get Dhruv Jurel dismissed. Riyan Parag hit the ball on the leg side and tried to take a couple. Jurel was not as fast as he should and failed to make it to the non-striker’s end in time as Cameron Green clipped off the bails and a stump too. “Magnificent effort,” says Sunil Gavaskar on-air. Rajasthan Royals need 61 runs in 41 balls.

    RR 112/4 (13.1)

  • 22:42 (IST)

    RR vs RCB Live: SIX!

    That is a beautiful pull shot from Riyan Parag for a six. It was a short ball and Parag pulled it over the cow corner for a biggie. The player at deep mid-wicket did give a run but the ball comfortably sailed over him. Parag then played a dot ball and took a single next to retain strike. 11 runs came off the Lockie Ferguson over. Rajasthan Royals need 62 runs in 42 balls.

  • 22:38 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Match hangs in balance!

    This is anyone’s game from this point, even if Rajasthan Royals hold an edge. They need 73 runs in 48 balls. A couple of more wickets and Royal Challengers Bengaluru can really put their opponents under pressure. RR, on the other hand, need 9.12 runs per over from here.

    RR 100/3 (12)

  • 22:28 (IST)

    RR vs RCB Live: OUT!

    Sanju Samson is gone and Rajasthan Royals are three down. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are truly back in the game. Coming to the wicket, Samson danced down the track and Karn Sharma bowled it wide on the off-side to see Dinesh Karthik cleaning up the bails. 

    RR 86/3 (10)

  • 22:24 (IST)

    RR vs RCB Live: OUT!

    RR 81/2 (9.2)

  • 22:20 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Run-out chance missed

    Karn Sharma made a massive miss in the second over. Sanju Samson hit the ball to the right of sweeper cover and wanted to take a couple. Jaiswal sent him back during the second run, but Samson failed to take his crease in time. Karn, who received the throw at non-striker’s end, lacked presence of mind and didn’t take a shot at stumps. Had he hit the target, Samson would have been in trouble.

    RR 80/1 (9)

  • 22:13 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Strategic time-out

    Rajasthan Royals are well in control of this chase. They need 99 runs in 72 balls from this point. Needless to say that Royal Challengers Bengaluru need a couple of wickets or more to bounce back in the game.

    RR 74/1 (8)

  • 22:07 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Jaiswal on fire!

    Yashasvi Jaiswal is now capitalising on his start. The southpaw slammed Swapnil Singh for two consecutive fours after Sanju Samson hit a six off the first ball of the over. 17 runs came off the over. Jaiswal is now batting on 34 off 22.  

    RR 64/1 (7)

  • 22:00 (IST)

    RR vs RCB Live: OUT!

    Here is the first blood for Royal Challengers Bengaluru and they are celebrating it with full enthusiasm. Lockie Fergusion has cleaned up Tom Kohler-Cadmore with a back of a hand slower ball. Kohler-Cadmore is gone for 20 off 15 balls and Glenn Maxwell takes a sigh of relief.

    RR 46/1 (5.3)

  • 21:55 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Catch dropped

    On the first delivery of the fifth over, Glenn Maxwell dropped an easy catch at deep square leg. It was a back of length ball from Yash Dayal that saw Tom Kohler-Cadmore mistime the ball to Maxwell near the boundary rope but the RCB fielder failed to take the catch.

    RR 45/0 (5)

  • 21:52 (IST)

    IPL 2024 Eliminator Live: RR on the move

    Rajasthan Royals are accelerating after a slow start. 13 runs came off Mohammed Siraj’s second over. RR have scored 29 runs in the last two overs. Boundaries are coming quite easily for them now and fielding is getting tougher for RCB, meanwhile, due to the heavy dew in the ground.

    RR 35/0 (4)

  • 21:48 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Expensive over

    Yash Dayal has been slammed for four fours in his first over. The first one was a sharp catch at first slip where Cameron Green got a hand but failed to grab it. On the very next ball, Jaiswal slammed a four through the backward point and Virat Kohli saw it with a dejected expression. 

    RR 22/0 (3)

  • 21:41 (IST)

    IPL 2024 Eliminator Live: RCB in control

    Only four runs came of Mohammed Siraj’s first over. This is turning out to be a good start for RCB. Yashasi Jaiswal is struggling to hit the ball from the middle of his bat and that seems to be troubling him now.

    RR 6/0 (2)

  • 21:37 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Good start for Swapnil

    Left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh was handed the first over and he conceded only two singles in it. Jaiswal played three dot balls in the over while Tom Kohler-Cadmore also played a dot ball.

    RR 2/0 (1)

  • 21:20 (IST)

    IPL 2024 Eliminator Live: RCB post 172 for 8!

    13 runs came off the final over of the RCB innings. Sandeep Sharma bowled the over. He finished with figures of 4 for 48 in four overs. While Trent Boult was sensational with the ball, Avesh Khan made a superb comeback to end on a high note. RCB batters struggled to take their innings deep and as a result, the side has been stopped to just a decent total. 

    RCB 172/8 (20) 

  • 21:13 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

    Another wicket for Avesh Khan. He has weaved his magic here at Ahmedabad. Avesh Khan was hit for 30 runs in his first two overs but made a terrific return by claiming three wickets and conceding only 14 runs in his next two overs. RCB are under tremendours pressure.

    RCB 159/7 (19)

  • 21:08 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

    Dinesh Karthik it out! It was a back of a hand slower ball from Avesh Khan that was pitched outside off stump. The ball bounced and saw Karthik mistime his shot before Yashasvi Jaiswal took a really good catch at cover. Karthik is out for 11 runs off 13 balls. 

    RCB 154/6 (18.2)

  • 21:05 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Two overs left

    10 runs came off Trent Boult’s final over. He finishes with figures of 1 for 16 in four overs. That was a terrific performance from the left-arm pacer. Two overs are remaining in the innings of RCB and they should look to get over 180.

    RCB 154/5 (18)

  • 21:01 (IST)

    IPL 2024 Live: RCB fighting back

    Royal Challengers Bengaluru are fighting back. They are not going to give up for sure. They are still on course for a good total on the board. Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror are the batters out there.

    RCB 144/5 (17)

  • 20:53 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Huge controversy

    On the third ball of 15th over, Avesh Khan got Dinesh Karthik out as LBW. Umpire raised his finger on the appeal but Karthik decided to review it. The UltraEdge showed a spike but it seemed that the ball cleanly hit Karthik’s front pad and the spike was rather due to the bat brushing the pad. The TV umpire failed to obeserve it closely and passes the verdict in batter’s favour. ajasthan Royals’ Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara and other RR members were furious over the decision.

  • 20:44 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

    The tables have turned for Avesh Khan. He conceded 36 runs in the first 13 deliveries he bowled in the game but he has now claimed a wicket. Avesh has got the big man Rajat Patidar, who was firing on all cylinders. Patidar departs for 34 off 22 balls. 

    RCB 122/5 (14.2)

  • 20:41 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Tough chance

    13.3 – Yashasvi Jaiswal has dropped a tough catch at deep mid-wicket. He ran on the edge of the boundary rope and took the catch of Mahipal Lomror but failed to keep the ball inside the field. Lomror got a six and what followed was a death stare from Chahal.

  • 20:32 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

    Two wickets in two balls for Ashwin! He is on fire. And what a poor shot this is from Glenn Maxwell to lose his wicket. It was the first ball he was facing and he decided to go downtown. He mistimed it and handed an easy catch to Dhruv Jurel at long-on.

    RCB 97/4 (12.4)

  • 20:29 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: OUT!

    A wicket for Ravichandran Ashwin and it is Cameron Green, who departs after scoring 27 runs off 21 balls. Ashwin tossed it up and Green edged it high in the air before Rovman Powell took the catch. RCB are once again under pressure.

    RCB 97/3 (12.3)

  • 20:23 (IST)

    IPL 2024 Live: Catch dropped!

    10.4 – Would you believe it? Dhruv Jurel has dropped the catch of Rajat Patidar at mid-on. Ravichandran Ashwin got Patidar top-edging a delivery. The ball went in air and it was a dolly for Jurel, who came in running for long-on only to let it pop out of his hands.

    RCB 82/2 (11)

  • 20:19 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: End of 10 overs!

    Cameron Green decided to up the ante in the 10th over and he slammed Yuzvendra Chahal for a six and a four in the two deliveries of the over. What followed were three singles in the over. A total of 13 runs came off the over.

    RCB 76/2 (10)

  • 20:14 (IST)

    IPL 2024 LIVE: RR on top

    Only five runs came off Ravichandran Ashwin’s second over. Rajasthan Royals are controlling this game beautifully. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, on the other hand, need to accelerate now or they would find it hard to post a huge total. 

    RCB 63/2 (9)

  • 20:09 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Kohli is OUT!

    This is a massive blow for RCB as Virat Kohli departs after scoring 33 runs off 24 balls. He tried to take Yuzvendra Chahal on but has lost his wicket in the process. Chahal gave the flight and Kohli went for an aerial short but found the fielder at the fence at deep mid-wicket.

    RCB 56/2 (7.2)

  • 20:01 (IST)

    IPL 2024 LIVE: Massive feat for Kohli!

    Virat Kohli hit a four on the fifth ball of Sandeep Sharma’s over to race to a huge batting milestone. He became the first-ever batter in IPL history to reach to 8000 runs. Kohli got there in the 252nd match of his IPL career. A total of 13 runs came off the over from Sandeep.

    RCB 50/1 (6)

  • 19:55 (IST)

    IPL 2024 LIVE: OUT!

    Faf du Plessis is gone! Trent Boult finally gets a reward for putting pressure on the RCB openers. That is a big blow for RCB as their attacking opener walks back to the dugout after scoring 17 runs off 14 balls. That is a sensational catch from Rovman Powell at deep mid-wicket.

    RCB 37/1 (4.4)

  • 19:49 (IST)

    IPL 2024 LIVE: Big over

    Trent Boult bowled a three-run over but Avesh Khan has taken the pressure off RCB. He has been hit for 17 runs in his first over in the game. Kohli started the over with a six over backward square leg before Faf slammed two fours.

    RCB 34/0 (4)

  • 19:42 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: SIX!

    Faf du Plessis slammed Sandeep Sharma’s fifth ball of the over for  a six down the ground. As soon as the ball left du Plessis’ bat, Virat Kohli, who was standing at the non-striker end, did a fist bump as he does during his shots. 

    RCB 14/0 (2)

  • 19:36 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Good start for Boult

    Trent Boult has started with a two-run over. He bowled really well in it and managed to keep both Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli muzzled. 

    RCB 2/0 (1)

  • 19:30 (IST)

    RR vs RCB LIVE: Match starts!

    Virat Kohli is on strike while Faf du Plessis is at the other end. Trent Boult is ready with the new ball in hand. Here we go…

Here are the Highlights of KKR vs SRH IPL 2024, Qualifier 1 match –







  • 22:59 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: What V Iyer siad

    More than the confidence I was really wanting to go out and bat, we last played a game on 11th, so we all were eager to go out and showcase our talent. The wicket was really good. In a tournament like this, momentum is really important, we have seen RCB winning their matches and gaining the momentum even we wanted that momentum, so we wanted to go out and wanted the rain to stop but it was disappointing. But, we were the table toppers and we have got a lot of support from the management. It is always special for players like us to play in the IPL final, it’s a dreamy moment for us, going to Chennai and looking forward to it. We were raring to go out there, when you have the momentum you want to really go out there. You saw Rinku fielding in hot spots and taking those catches, it’s the excitement we have to go out there and perform.

  • 22:55 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Cummins after the match

    Yeah we will try to put this behind quickly, good thing we will have a crack at it (second qualifier). You have those days in T20 cricket where things doesn’t quite work out. We weren’t where we wanted with the bat and obviously couldn’t do much with the ball. Felt that extra batting was important (picking the impact sub) on this wicket. Thought KKR bowled really well, there was a little bit in it early on and the surface got better. We all have played enough cricket, and going to a new venue (Chennai) helps us as well, so we gotta keep this behind and move on. (edited)

  • 22:47 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Kolkata Knight Riders have done it!

    6,6,4,6,6 – Those were the last five balls of the match as Venkatesh Iyer and Shreyas Iyer both slammed half-centuries to guide KKR to a 8-wicket victory over SRH. KKR qualify for the IPL 2024 final while SRH will get another chance in Qualifier 2.

  • 22:36 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Ordinary stuff from SRH

    For a team that looked almost unbeatable on multiple occasions, it has been an ordinary performance from SRH. The batters did not deliver and the bowling attack is looking a bit helpless against a KKR batting line-up which is marching on towards victory.

    KKR 124/2 after 11.3 overs

  • 22:31 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Missed chances

    Another missed catch and this is getting worse for SRH. First it was Klaasen and now Travis Head has spilled a big chance. Shreyas Iyer made SRH pay right away as he slammed the next ball for a six.

    KKR 113/2 after 10.2 overs

  • 22:26 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: KKR all the way

    A boundary for Venkatesh Iyer followed by a boundary for Shreyas Iyer – Is this perfection from KKR? The batters are looking in sublime form and SRH have no answers at the moment.

    KKR 96/1 after 9.1 overs

  • 22:20 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: No stopping KKR

    A huge six over mid-wicket for Venkatesh Iyer! What a show of batting from Venkatesh Iyer as he is looking completely in control. This is just too easy for KKR.

    KKR 85/2 after 8 overs

  • 22:18 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Narine departs

    Second wicket for SRH and Pat Cummins has done the job for his team. Sunil Narine once again went for a big shot but ended up getting caught. However, KKR are off to a stunning start!

    KKR 75/2 after 7.1 overs

  • 22:08 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: KKR dominance

    End of the powerplay overs and KKR have crossed 60 once again. This is the ninth time in IPL 2024 that KKR have scored 60+ in the powerplays. This is unbelievable!

    KKR 63/1 after 6 overs

  • 22:01 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Venkatesh Iyer joins the party

    Venkatesh Iyer is also looking in good touch as he slammed Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a couple of boundaries. This is just good cricket from KKR and they are making this run chase look a bit too easy.

    KKR 57/1 after 5 overs

  • 21:56 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Gurbaz departs

    T Natarajan has struck for SRH and it is Rahmanullah Gurbaz whose innings comes to an end on 23. A wayward shot from the KKR opener and it went straight to Vijayakanth Viyaskanth. Can SRH fight back?

    KKR 53/1 after 4.2 overs

  • 21:56 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Gurbaz departs

    T Natarajan has struck for SRH and it is Rahmanullah Gurbaz whose innings comes to an end on 23. A wayward shot from the KKR opener and it went straight to Vijayakanth Viyaskanth. Can SRH fight back?

    KKR 53/1 after 4.2 overs

  • 21:49 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Gurbaz on fire

    Phil Salt was one of the top performers for KKR this season but Rahmanullah Gurbaz has taken over the role perfectly. A massive six off Bhuvneshwar Kumar and KKR are looking extremely comfortable in this run chase.

    KKR 42/0 after 2.5 overs

  • 21:42 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Solid start

    There is no stopping KKR at the moment. A six for Sunil Narine, a leg bye that went for four and now, a solid six for Gurbaz over third-man. SRH have no answers at this moment!

    KKR 25/0 after 1.5 overs

  • 21:41 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: What Starc said

    I have been fortunate enough to play on some big occasions, nice to get our team off to a good start, we know how SRH matched us in terms of attacking with the bat in the powerplay. Their (Head and Abhishek) partnership has been the key for them and to get both of them out cheaply, it’s really pleasing. The wicket’s got a bit skiddier and there is some swing as well, I feel the wicket will get better with dew and the powerplay will be really key for us.

  • 21:35 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Run chase begins

    Sunil Narine opens the batting for KKR with Rahmanullah Gurbaz while Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be bowling the first over for SRH. An important run chase up ahead!

  • 21:23 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: SRH bundled out

    That’s all! SRH are bundled out for 159 as Andre Russell claims the final wicket. A tremendous performance by the KKR bowlers and this is going to be tough for SRH to defend.

  • 21:11 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Bad day for Narine

    40 runs is the joint-most Sunil Narine conceded in an inning this IPL. He conceded 1/40 against RCB at Bengaluru earlier this season.

  • 21:07 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Cummins fights on

    The performance from SRH batters have been less than satisfactory but Pat Cummins is not giving up. A reverse sweep six for the SRH captain and he will be looking to take his side to at least 150.

    SRH 139/9 after 17.1 overs

  • 21:01 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: SRH lose wickets in a heap

    Second wicket for Varun Chakaravarthy and what a show from the KKR bowlers! Bhuvneshwar Kumar is trapped LBW for a duck and this is just brilliant for KKR. SRH are in deep trouble and owner Kavya Maran’s reaction says it all!

    SRH 126/9 after 16 overs

  • 20:56 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Another wicket

  • 22:59 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: What V Iyer siad

    More than the confidence I was really wanting to go out and bat, we last played a game on 11th, so we all were eager to go out and showcase our talent. The wicket was really good. In a tournament like this, momentum is really important, we have seen RCB winning their matches and gaining the momentum even we wanted that momentum, so we wanted to go out and wanted the rain to stop but it was disappointing. But, we were the table toppers and we have got a lot of support from the management. It is always special for players like us to play in the IPL final, it’s a dreamy moment for us, going to Chennai and looking forward to it. We were raring to go out there, when you have the momentum you want to really go out there. You saw Rinku fielding in hot spots and taking those catches, it’s the excitement we have to go out there and perform.

  • 22:55 (IST)

    KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1 Live Score: Cummins after the match

    Yeah we will try to put this behind quickly, good thing we will have a crack at it (second qualifier). You have those days in T20 cricket where things doesn’t quite work out. We weren’t where we wanted with the bat and obviously couldn’t do much with the ball. Felt that extra batting was important (picking the impact sub) on this wicket. Thought KKR bowled really well, there was a little bit in it early on and the surface got better. We all have played enough cricket, and going to a new venue (Chennai) helps us as well, so we gotta keep this behind and move on. (edited)

  • 21:41 (IST)

    I have been fortunate enough to play on some big occasions, nice to get our team off to a good start, we know how SRH matched us in terms of attacking with the bat in the powerplay. Their (Head and Abhishek) partnership has been the key for them and to get both of them out cheaply, it’s really pleasing. The wicket’s got a bit skiddier and there is some swing as well, I feel the wicket will get better with dew and the powerplay will be really key for us.

  • 21:35 (IST)

“When We Were Losing…”: RCB Star Opens Up About Emotional Journey | Cricket News

Post By Sports , , , ,




Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Swapnil Singh, who entered the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the second half and made an immediate impact, opened up on his “emotional” cricketing journey that saw him experience numerous ups and downs and his relationship with star batter Virat Kohli.

RCB completed a remarkable turnaround from a horrid first half of the IPL 2024, which saw them win just one in eight games, to securing six successive games to reach the playoffs. In these six matches, Swapnil has played a crucial role with his small batting cameos, wicket-taking abilities and low economy rate. He has scored 28 runs across four innings at a strike rate of 164.70 and also got six wickets at an average of 19.00 and an economy rate of 8.76, with the best figures of 2/28.

Introducing himself to the audience, Swapnil said that though he was born in Lucknow, he has played for Baroda (2005-2020) and currently plays for Uttarakhand (2021-22 season onwards).

In 76 first-class matches, he has scored 2,727 runs at an average of 26.22, with two centuries and 16 fifties and taken 181 wickets. In 63 List-A games, Swapnil has made 1,153 runs at an average of 25.06, with six fifties and taken 67 wickets. In 81 T20s, he has made 877 runs with two fifties and got 69 wickets.

“My father was my first coach. I am playing cricket because of him. It was his passion to make me play that made this all possible. I was in class sixth when I shifted to Baroda for my cricket. He wanted me to become a batter. When I came to Baroda, I started to bowl. I made by Ranji debut at the age of 14 years and 355 days,” he recalled.

Recalling his bond with Virat, Swapnil said that he has played U15 and U19 level cricket with Virat and was his roommate during tours to Sri Lanka and Malaysia.

“When I met him after so many years, it felt so warm. We were meeting after so many years, asked each other about our lives and families. It felt really good,” he added.

Swapnil recalled being picked by Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2008 IPL, the first-ever season and making his debut in the league for Punjab Kings much later in 2017, playing four games.

“I was picked in 2008 for Mumbai Indians. Sachin (Tendulkar) is like a god to us all. When I met him and interacted with him for the first time ever, it felt good. My IPL ebut happened against CSK while playing for PBKS. Maxi (Glenn Maxwell) was my captain. I had taken just one wicket, of MS Dhoni, caught and bowled,” said Swapnil.

Later, Swapnil recalled one of his biggest career setbacks, being removed from Baroda side in 2020 despite his consistent performances as an all-rounder. The 33-year-old said that this proved to be a blessing in disguise for him as he learnt to stand on his feet. Former cricketer Irfan Pathan helped him in finding another state, Uttarakhand, to further his career.

“In 2016-17, played Duleep Trophy for Baroda, scoring the highest run for them and took a lot of wickets. In 2019, I was among top three all-rounders in India in white-ball cricket. Then came COVID-19. After this, Baroda selections were held. I felt I was a sure shot. But the captain told me that my place was not available in the team. It was given to a youngster. So I was searching for a new state to play. Irfan Pathan helped me. It was a blessing in disguise because when you are thrown out of your house, you learn to stand on your feet. Now I realise Baroda did good to me, otherwise I would have been finished,” said Swapnil.

Swapnil said that Deepak Hooda, the all-rounder from Baroda, is like a brother to him and it was he who contacted Swapnil and helped him make a comeback to IPL as a net bowler for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) last year.

The all-rounder said that though coach Andy Flower and spin coach Narendra Hirwani were impressed with his bowling, he asked Andy for an opportunity to bat as well, which he got. His batting also impressed the coaching staff. He also played two matches for LSG.

He also said that when Andy moved to RCB as a coach, he urged the Zimbabwean to give him one more chance and he got to attend a camp organised for selecting new players. He also recalled that during the auctions, he had almost given up on himself untill his family informed him that he was picked by RCB.

“Deepak Hooda is like a brother to me. When he called me to become a net bowler for LSG, I cut the phone and abused him (laughs). He called me again to think about it. Irfan told me to go. I was like I have played in IPL myself. The concept of net bowler had started just then. I went hesitatingly. Coach Andy Flower was impressed with me. I was bowling from ball one till the last. Narendra Hirwani was impressed with me, he was our spin coach. He flipped me 180-degree as a bowler. I talked to Andy as to why he did not try me in batting. He also made me bat. GG bhai (Gautam Gambhir, then LSG mentor) was also there, they were impressed with batting too. Andy has a big role to play in all this,” said Swapnil.

“When RCB picked me up, they had conducted a trials-cum-camp. I asked Andy to give me one more chance, that could have also been my last. He invited me for the camp. The camp was average. When the auction was happening, I was travelling to Dehradun for Ranji Trophy. When I landed, it must be 7 or 8 PM, last rounds of the auction must have been going on. Nothing had happened. I had also missed it thinking that its over. I wanted to play this ongoing season and one more season if possible since I did not want to do this all my life. I was very disappointed. I thought there were other things to conquer. But then my family called me, and we just broke down. Nobody knows how emotional this journey has been for me,” he added.

Swapnil said that when he came here, he was well aware that he would get a chance to play only later. So to prove himself, he treated each and every net session he attended as a proper match before he got a chance to play.

“When we were losing, I thought fans would abuse us. But fans were not going down. It was shocking to me. I felt really good that fans are really loyal to us. I used to talk to my brother that I wanted to hit just a four and six in the IPL, since I have a wicket. I got to do that as well. On my seventh ball of my first over (in which he bowled a no ball), I got a wicket. It is all god’s work,” he concluded.

IPL 2024 Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings LIVE© BCCI




RCB vs CSK Live Updates, IPL 2024: Rachin Ravindra and Ajinkya Rahane eye recovery for two-down Chennai Super Kings against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a do-or-die game at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Virat Kohli took a good catch at mid-off to dismiss Daryl Mitchell and let his frustration out with an animated reaction. Anushka Sharma in the stands was standing and clapping in joy. RCB posted a total of 218 for 5 after getting an invitation to bat first but they need to stop CSK below 201 to enter the playoffs. If CSK manage to get to that score, the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side will end in the top four even if it loses the game. Earlier, Faf du Plessis scored 54 off 39 while Virat Kohli played a crucial knock of 47 off 29. Rajat Patidar (41 off 23) and Cameron Green (38 not out off 17) also helped RCB’s cause.

  • 20:43 (IST)

    IPL 2024 Live: Kohli in shock!

    RCB 60/0 (8) 

  • 20:37 (IST)

    RCB vs CSK Live: Too much of turn!

    RCB 42/0 (6)

  • 20:33 (IST)

    IPL 2024 Live: Another good over for CSK

    Mitchell Santner was brought into the attack and he conceded only two singles in the over. This is good captaincy from Ruturaj Gaikwad. He saw Maheesh Theekshana getting good turn and quickly put Santner into action. This pitch is favoring the bowlers now to a great extent.

    IPL 2024 Live: What happens in case of a washout?

    While CSK have 14 points from 13 games, RCB have 12 points from 13 games. To make it to the final 4, RCB need to beat CSK by a margin of minimum 18 runs or 11 balls to spare, otherwise the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side will enter the playoffs on the virtue of a better net run rate even if RCB win the game. Read in detail

How Is MI Looking At Their Captaincy Swap Move After Disappointing IPL 2024? | Cricket News

Post By Sports , , , ,




Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians (MI) became the first side to be knocked out in the IPL 2024 season. The Mumbai-based franchise entered the competition under a new skipper, Hardik Pandya, and unfortunately, the Indian star all-rounder couldn’t replicate his Gujarat Titans success this year at MI. The star-studded Mumbai side lost their ninth game of the season against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata on Saturday and are currently reeling at the ninth position on the points table with only four wins in 13 games so far.

The power-packed batting unit didn’t glue up to perform well with the bat in one of the most explosive seasons this year. The top order led by veteran Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan has fired only in bits and pieces, while the middle order comprising Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya looked inconsistent throughout the season.

Despite Jasprit Bumrah’s stellar performances with the ball, the bowling unit has also looked clueless, leaking runs for most of the tournament. The spin department consisting of Piyush Chawla, Mohammad Nabi, and Shreyas Gopal didn’t make a difference either.

This year, MI had a captaincy change that sparked controversy, with Hardik taking over for Rohit. The franchise’s fans did not take it well, even booing the all-rounder in the first few games at the Wankhede Stadium.

The captaincy swap left the team divided and scattered which also affected the dressing room atmosphere. Hence, it led the renowned MI side to their worst-ever IPL season in the tournament’s history.

Well, the franchises are bound to have a bad season once in a while but let’s discuss what has haunted Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2024 season under new skipper Hardik Pandya.

MI’s legacy

Once upon a time in the late 2010s, there was a power-packed Mumbai Indians side that could beat any T20 XI in the world.

The Mumbai-based franchise became one of the strongest sides under skipper Rohit Sharma’s helm and went on to lift the IPL title record five times – 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020.

Apart from IPL, Mumbai has also clinched the Champions League T20 title twice in 2011 and 2013.

The franchise built its core squad around captain Rohit Sharma which comprised the likes of Kieron Pollard, Lasith Malinga, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Quinton de Kock and Trent Boult.

But, for the past few years, MI has looked rusty after losing its core group of players since the end of the 2021 IPL season. They have only made the playoffs once (2023) in the last four seasons including the ongoing IPL 2024.

Hardik taking over leadership duties for Rohit

After a couple of below-par seasons from the team, MI owners might have brought in Hardik Pandya for Rohit Sharma as captain keeping the former’s successful campaigns at Gujarat Titans in mind.

In November 2023, MI traded all-rounder Cameron Green to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in an all-cash deal through the trading window. This transaction provided the necessary funds for MI to finalize another all-cash deal with Gujarat Titans (GT) to acquire the services of Hardik Pandya.

This can also be termed as a tactical move by the franchise considering the team’s future and Rohit edging closer to the end of his career.

Even mathematically, Rohit Sharma is one of the most successful captains in the IPL history with 89 wins in 158 games for MI, boosting a win percentage of 56.

Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya’s stint as Gujarat Titans’ captain has also mesmerized the world as the two-year-old franchise reached the IPL finals in 2022 (champions) and 2023 consecutively.

As GT’s captain, Hardik had won 22 of the 31 matches he played for the Ahmedabad-based side. The star all-rounder boosted a magnificent win percentage of 71 which caught the eyes of MI’s management.

What’s wrong with Hardik’s captaincy in IPL 2024?

MI under Hardik Pandya looked unsettled in their IPL 2024 opener against GT where they failed to complete an easy run chase in Ahmedabad. Except for Jasprit Bumrah (20 wickets) none of the Mumbai star players have been consistent this year.

Even Hardik’s own performances didn’t help this season; having managed only 200 runs with the bat he is yet to score a half-century. While the fast bowler in him has probably delivered 11 wickets in as many innings.

There might be numerous factors for the downfall of Mumbai Indians this season but former IPL star batter AB de Villiers reckons Hardik Pandya’s captaincy style as one of the major reasons for MI’s collapse.

“The captaincy style of Hardik Pandya is quite bravado. It’s ego-driven in a way, chest out,” de Villiers said in a recent video on his YouTube channel. “I don’t think how he walks on the field is always genuine, but he has decided that is his way of captaincy. Almost like MS (Dhoni). Cool, calm, collective, always got your chest out. But when you play with a lot of experienced players, guys who have been around for ages… They don’t buy into that. It worked at GT, where it was a younger team. Sometimes, inexperienced players love to follow that kind of leadership.”

Furthermore, the RCB legend shared his personal experience playing under Graeme Smith in the National team.

“I remember Graeme Smith. He was out there for the team. All I needed to do as a youngster was to follow. Now there’s a Rohit (Sharma), there’s a (Jasprit) Bumrah. They go like, ‘All we need you to be is calm. Give us a bit of input on how to win matches. We don’t need the bravado. I’m not having a go at Hardik. I love watching him play. I love him putting out his chest because I was like that. I believed that as a batter, sometimes you’ve got to fake it to make it,” de Villiers added.

As per a report, the senior MI players have expressed their views to the coaching staff on the way the team is being led and their perspectives on the team’s underwhelming results.

What’s next for MI?

With the top-four spots out of reach, Mumbai Indians will only play for pride in their final league game against Lucknow Super Giants. While there are a lot of learnings and takeaways for the much-important mega-auction ahead of their next season in 2025.

DC will now have to depend on other results in order to qualify for the playoffs while LSG still have a game in hand but their Net Run Rate can prove to be a big problem. (Scorecard) (IPL 2024 Points Table)

Here are the Highlights of IPL 2024 match between DC and LSG:







  • 23:30 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: 23 runs needed off 6 balls

    So much drama! LSG lost another wicket and Naveen almost got run-out but the match remains alive. 23 runs to win in the final over!

    LSG 188/9 after 19.2 overs

  • 23:10 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Lucknow Super Giants fight back

    What a knock from Arshad Khan. He has destroyed the DC bowlers and suddenly, LSG are back in this game. Two sixes and a four off Khaleel Ahmed and although Yudhvir Singh was dismissed in the over, this match is headed towards a solid finish.

    LSG 168/8 after 17.1 overs

  • 22:59 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Good news for RCB

    DC are inching towards a comfortable win over LSG and this is very good news for RCB. LSG can now only reach 14 points even if they win their final match and a big win over CSK in their final match will put RCB in a brilliant position to reach the IPL 2024 playoffs.

    LSG 149/7 after 16 overs 

  • 22:54 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Wicket for Kuldeep

    Kuldeep Yadav strikes this time and this has been a great show from the DC bowlers. Krunal Pandya is stumped by Rishabh Pant and DC are on the verge of a crucial win. DC will have 14 points from 14 matches if they win the game and they will have to depend on other results to potentially find a spot in the playoffs.

    LSG 134/7 in 14.4 overs

  • 22:49 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: LSG’s nightmare

  • 22:34 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Playoff scenarios

    The best case scenario for DC is to get ahead of SRH when it comes to net run rate: DC can get ahead of SRH in case of a 14-point tie if SRH lose their last two matches by a combined margin of 120 runs and DC beat LSG by 96 runs or more (Assuming first innings score of 200 in each case).

  • 22:29 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Pooran on fire

    A 21-ball half-century for Nicholas Pooran but the target is still far far away. The left-handed batter from West Indies will have to produce something extra special if LSG win tonight and he will also need to play till the end.

  • 22:22 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Five wickets down

    Ayush Badoni goes for a big shot himself but not the result that he wanted. A mishit off Tristan Stubbs and a comfortable catch for Gulbadin Naib on the boundary. Half of the LSG team is back in the dugout and DC are truly on top.

    LSG 72/5 after 7.5 overs

  • 22:18 (IST)

  • 22:16 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Pooran power

    Lucknow Super Giants may have lost four wickets in this run chase but there is no stopping Nicholas Pooran. A four and six off Axar Patel followed by a reverse-sweep six off Kuldeep Yadav. Pure entertainment!

    LSG 61/4 after 6.2 overs

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Super Ishant

    Another wicket for Ishant Sharma and LSG have completely lost the plot. Deepak Hooda was trapped LBW for a duck and LSG are four wickets down. Nicholas Pooran slammed 20 runs in the Axar Patel over but he will have to stay till the end if LSG are to have any chance to chase down this total.

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Another wicket!

  • 21:50 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: DC start well

    This has been a good start for Delhi Capitals. With 200 in their kitty, it was important for the hosts to not concede a lot of runs early in the run chase. They have succeeded in keeping LSG quiet and although Marcus Stoinis did get a boundary, he has not gone berserk in this game yet.

    LSG 12/1 after 2 overs

  • 21:45 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Rahul departs

    KL Rahul started well but he is caught by Mukesh Kumar in the very first over. A big wicket for Ishant Sharma and LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka was visibly disappointed. Marcus Stoinis is the new batter and a lot will depend on his performance tonight.

  • 20:58 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: 200 looking too far

  • 20:49 (IST)

  • 20:40 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: DC run rate suffers

  • 20:33 (IST)

  • 19:50 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Porel show

    3 fours and one six – This is something special from Abishek Porel. They may have lost Jake Fraser-McGurk early but there is no stopping Porel. Arshad Khan completely clueless against the uncapped India star.

  • 19:41 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Rahil gets it right

    DC 2/1 after 0.2 overs

  • 19:24 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: What Rishabh Pant said

    We would have batted first. There are a lot of things going on (regarding qualification) but you can only focus on winning the game. If you had not lost too many wickets we would have won that game, but easier to say that from sitting out. That is a concern throughout the season but as a captain you can ask the players to give their best and they are doing that. We have two changes – myself and Naib come in, Warner misses out.

  • 19:21 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: What KL Rahul said

    “We will bowl first. It is because of how our team is placed and what will help our team. We are a young bowling attack and get them into the game early, we have experienced batters and they can take the pressure. It is pretty clear for us, we have to win both games. The last two games we have not been up to the mark and have been blasted out of the game. The bowlers have to be brave, as a bowling unit you might fear using change ups but they have to do just back themselves. Couple of changes.”

  • 19:17 (IST)

    DC vs LSG Live Score: Substitutions

    Delhi Capitals Impact Subs: Ishant Sharma, Kumar Kushagra, Praveen Dubey, Swastik Chikara, Lalit Yadav

Boost For India Ahead Of T20 World Cup: Virat Kohli Shows Uptick In Strike-Rate, Spin Game In IPL 2nd Half | Cricket News

Post By Sports , , , ,

Star Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and India batter Virat Kohli continues to prove his undeniable mettle as a T20 player amid the divisive views by fans, cricket experts and former players, giving Men in Blue a boost ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which will take place in West Indies and USA this year from June 1 onwards. Continuing his fine run with the bat and indicating that he can hit big from ball one if needed, Virat played a solid knock of 27 in just 13 balls against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Sunday.

His knock had a four and three massive sixes and a strike rate of over 207. A huge part of this knock was his back-and-forth with compatriot and pacer Ishant Sharma, someone who has been around Virat since his academy days. Both exchanged jokes, shared laughs and tried to get one-up on each other before a fine delivery by Ishant was nicked by Virat straight into the hands of wicketkeeper Abhishek Porel.

In the ongoing season, Virat is the Orange Cap holder for most runs, making 661 runs at an average of 66.10 and a strike rate of 155.16, with a century and five fifties. His best score is 113*. RCB, who has made a remarkable comeback in the tournament with five successive wins after a horrid win-loss record of 1-6 in the first half, will need Virat to be at his best against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their final league game at Bengaluru on May 18 for a chance at playoffs.

Often being questioned on his strike rate, Virat has swung back at his critics in his signature fashion, ditching boundaries in favour of huge sixes and passing verbal jabs at naysayers during post-inning or match presentations.

In the first six games of the tournament, Virat scored well at a healthy strike rate. He made 319 runs in his first six innings in 225 balls at a strike rate of 141.77. 29 fours and 12 sixes came from Virat’s bat, marking a ratio of 5.4 balls per boundary. He was forced to play the anchor and attacker at the same time as other batters around him struggled for form and rhythm. Virat scored a century and two fifties in these six innings.

The switch flipped in Virat’s batting when they were tasked with chasing 288 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their seventh game. Though RCB faced a 25-run loss despite a valiant effort, Virat scored 42 in 20 balls, with six fours and two sixes. His strike rate was 210.00.

Since that SRH game, fans have experienced a different Virat. In these next seven innings, Virat scored 342 runs in just 201 balls, with a strike rate going up to a massive 170.14. 27 fours and 21 sixes have come from his bat in these seven innings starting from that SRH game. The balls per boundary ratio has also come down, with 4.1 balls taken to smash one.

An unnoticed positive of Virat’s remarkable run is his six-hitting. He has smashed a total of 33 sixes so far, the second-highest by a batter next to SRH’s Abhishek Sharma (35 sixes). Virat has more sixes than Sunil Narine (32), Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen and Riyan Parag (31), Australian sensation Jake Fraser McGurk and Shivam Dube (28), Rajat Patidar (27) and Rishabh Pant (25).

This is the only second time Virat has crossed 30 sixes in a single season of IPL, with his highest peak coming in 2016, when he smashed 38 sixes in 16 games. He has one more league game atleast to add more to his tally.

Since that Sunrisers game, Virat’s strike rate against spin, something considered his weakness, has also gone up. In his first six IPL 2024 innings, Virat scored 128 runs in 98 balls against spin, with only four boundaries and seven sixes coming from his bat. He played 28 dot balls against spin and his SR against spin was 130.61.

However, that SRH inning during the chase of 287 runs, sparked a change in his spin game as well. From that knock onwards, Virat has smashed 132 runs in 90 balls against spin, with 11 fours and six sixes coming from his bat. His strike rate also increased to 146.66 against spin and he played 26 dots against the moving ball.

Virat’s overall strike rate against spin in this IPL is 138.29, with 260 runs hit in 188 balls against spin. He has smashed 13 sixes against spin and 15 boundaries. He has played 54 dot balls against spinners.

In the past five seasons, Virat’s overall SR against spin has been: 113.46, 108.08, 100.00, 108.91 and 130.14. His strike rate against spin was at its best in the 2016 season, where he struck at 152.30 and 2015 season, where he scored his runs at 151.21 against spin bowling.

Following his match-winning knock of 92 in just 47 balls against Punjab Kings recently on May 9, Virat had spoken about being more attacking in his approach, bringing out slog sweeps against spinners after a long-time and the idea of self-improvement.

“For me, it is still quality over quantity (on his runs and numbers). More so now, at this stage of my career, heading into 36. The understanding of my game over so many years allows me to practice less, and still stay mentally switched on. And some added challenges in terms of improving your own game. Certain aspects of the game, you want to get better at. It’s an ever-evolving process. I am not a guy who wants to sit around saying ‘this is the way I play’ and not improve on the things I need to,” said Kohli.

Kohli further explained about his slog-sweep shot against the spinners.

“I brought out the slog-sweep to the spinners. It was me mentally putting myself in that situation. I did not practice that at all. I know I can hit it because I have played that shot a lot in the past. So I just felt like I needed to take a bit more risk and for me, that shot was something that I used to hit regularly back in the days. That shot is now allowing me to hit off the backfoot as well. I am always looking to expose that side of the field against the spin. It’s been a massive factor for me in the IPL,” the right-hand batter added.

“It just takes a bit more conviction and put out that thought that props up ‘what if I get out?’. I have been managing to stay ahead of that thought. And that has allowed me to keep my strike rate up in the middle overs and scoring for my team as well,” the Delhi-born player concluded.

This refreshed approach of Virat in T20 cricket, especially against spinners, could just be what India needs on slow surfaces of the Caribbean and it would be interesting if Virat would carry forward his form to the World Cup.
