'Leader Mohammed Siraj Regains Swing, Aggression' As RCB, India Hopes Rise High

The change in Mohammed Siraj's fortunes has played a critical role in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's late surge in this IPL, and the pacer's good run might also have put the Indian thinktank at ease ahead of next month's T20 World Cup. In the latest show of his metamorphosis, Siraj wrecked Gujarat Titans with a two-wicket burst in the Power Play, grabbing the wickets of Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha. Siraj's figures at that stage was a superb 2-0-9-2, and as someone who is marked to share the new ball with Jasprit Bumrah in the ICC showpiece, it's certainly a shot in the arm for the national team as well.

"Shubman Gill Has A Lot To Learn, But...": GT Star David Miller's Blunt Take On Skipper

Shubman Gill is having a tough initiation into Gujarat Titans captaincy, but senior batter David Miller backed him, saying the 24-year-old is increasingly “adjusting” to the role. Under Gill's captaincy the Titans – who were champions in 2022 and runners-up last year under Hardik Pandya – are languishing at the ninth place on the table with no real hope of entering the playoffs. “Shubman is an exceptional player, as we all know. He is still young and has a lot to learn. But I feel he is adjusting really well to the captaincy.

Faf Du Plessis Fifty, Bowlers Carry Royal Challengers Bengaluru To Four-Wicket Win Over Gujarat Titans

Royal Challengers Bengaluru pressed the self-destruction button halfway but a blazing fifty by captain Faf du Plessis had enough torque in it to carry them to a four-wicket over Gujarat Titans in their IPL match in Bengaluru on Saturday. Du Plesiss (64, 23b, 10x4, 3x6) and Kohli (42, 27b, 2x4, 4x6), who added 92 runs in just 35 balls for the opening wicket, were in prime touch as Royal Challengers moved past a frail target of 148, braving some nervy moments, most of it their own creation. The win also lifted RCB to seventh place on the table with eight points from 11 matches, and kept their mathematical chances of making it to the play-offs alive.

CSK vs PBKS, IPL 2024: Gritty Punjab Kings Floor Chennai Super Kings By Seven Wickets

Punjab Kings mounted a pragmatic chase to consign Chennai Super Kings to a demoralising seven-wicket defeat at their own den in their IPL match at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. Punjab rode on quick 40s by Jonny Bairstow (46, 30b, 7x4, 1x6) and Rilee Rossouw (43, 23b, 5x4, 2x6) to move past Chennai's modest 162 for seven, which was built around skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad's solid 62 (48b, 5x4, 2x6). The win took PBKS to seventh place on the points table with eight points, while CSK stayed on fourth with 10 points.
