Rajasthan Royals paceman Sandeep Sharma welcomed a rule change in the Indian Premier League (IPL) that allows bowlers to send down two bouncers per over, saying it would keep batsmen guessing and make the game more unpredictable.
Former England cricket team batter Kevin Pietersen and legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar were extremely critical of Hardik Pandya's decision to bowl the first over during the match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024 on Sunday. The MI skipper decided to start proceedings with the new ball instead of choosing star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah - a choice that led to a lot of discussion in the commentary box. Things got worse as Hardik was taken to be the cleaners by GT openers Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha with the all-rounder conceding 20 runs in his first six deliveries.
Another season, another defeat for Mumbai Indians in the opening match as the Hardik Pandya-led franchise went down to Gujarat Titans by 6 runs on Sunday. The match marked the beginning of a new era for Mumbai, with Hardik Pandya leading the side, taking over the reins from Rohit Sharma. As the match culminated in a defeat for MI, Rohit was spotted having an intense chat with Hardik on the field, with the franchise's owner Akash Ambani also standing right next to them.
Umesh Yadav kept his calm and took two wickets in the final over of the match to guide Gujarat Titans to a brilliant victory over Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Sunday. With 19 runs needed in the final over, skipper Hardik Pandya slammed a six and a four off the first two balls to hand his team the advantage. However, he ended up losing his wicket on the third delivery and his team fell short by just six runs. It was the first victory in IPL for Gill as a skipper and right after the match, Hardik walked up to the young batter and congratulated him with a hug on the momentous occasion.
Following his side's six run loss to the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign opener, Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya said that he backs batter Tilak Varma's decision to not take that single against Rashid Khan to give strike to hard-hitting Tim David, even though it perhaps cost them the game. MI failed to capitalise on momentum brought by a 77-run stand between Rohit Sharma and Dewald Brevis and registered a narrow loss to start the tournament. A crucial decision that decided the outcome of the game was Tilak not taking a single against Rashid Khan in the 17th over and backing himself to fire runs against the spinner instead of David.
An inexplicable batting strategy by Mumbai Indians at the death saw Shubman Gill make an auspicious debut as Gujarat Titans captain with a thrilling six-run victory in their opening IPL game in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Jasprit Bumrah (3/14) was at his absolute best in his first IPL game in two years, firing in his express yorkers at will to help Mumbai Indians restrict Gujarat Titans to 168/6. But Bumrah's effort was not enough as batters like Tilak Varma and skipper Hardik Pandya failed to complement his brilliance. MI ended at 162/9 as things went downhill when all they needed was 43 runs off last five overs with seven wickets in hand.
