IPL 2024 Points Table: What Loss vs SRH Means For Virat Kohli's RCB In Playoff Race

IPL 2024 Points Table:Royal Challengers Bengaluru slumped to their sixth loss in seven matches and as a result, the road to IPL 2024 playoffs got much tougher for the Faf Du Plessis-led side. RCB were outplayed completely by Sunrisers Hyderabad, who registered the highest team total in the history of the competition on Monday. Travis Head slammed a brilliant century to take SRH to a record 287/3 in 20 overs before Pat Cummins took three wickets to guide his team to victory. Following the loss, RCB remained last in the points table with just 2 points and a horrible NRR (Net Run Rate) of -1.185. That means RCB have no other choice but win all of their remaining matches in IPL 2024 and hope for other results to go their way if they want to qualify for the playoffs.

"Took A Lot Of Things To Heart": Riyan Parag Breaks Silence On Criticism, Social Media Trolling

Facing relentless trolling isn't easy, especially when you have barely crossed teens but Riyan Parag's cricketing journey hasn't exactly been a bed of roses in that sense. After only 600 runs from 54 matches across previous seasons that invited merciless criticism, heavy duty trolling and meme-fest on social media, Riyan 2.0 has burst onto the IPL 2024, with renewed vigour that has so far yielded 284 runs. He is only second to Virat Kohli in run aggregator's list.

Impossible For Mumbai Indians To Avenge Loss vs Chennai Super Kings In IPL 2024 League Stage. Here's The Reason

The IPL 'El Clasico' on Sunday had one clear winner - Chennai Super Kings, with Mumbai Indians finishing second best. The much awaited clash had it all. There were terrific performances from the youngsters, MS Dhoni finished CSK's innings with 20 runs off just 4 balls, Rohit Sharma scored a ton, but ultimately it was CSK which came out victorious. Another thing that got repeated was the crowd booing Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya.

Which Team Should Rohit Sharma Join If He Decides To Leave Mumbai Indians After IPL 2024?

There has been a lot of speculation regarding Rohit Sharma's future after IPL 2024 since the star India batter was removed as the Mumbai Indians skipper. Ahead of the new season, his ten-year tenure as the MI captain came to an unceremonious end as he was replaced by Hardik Pandya after the all-rounder completed a sensational trade from Gujarat Titans. Since then, rumours have been flying around about Rohit potentially leaving the franchise at the end of IPL 2024 and that can result in some exciting partnerships for all cricket fans. With no official confirmation on Rohit's future, here's a look at how each franchise may suit the Indian cricket team skipper if he decides to leave MI -

"Never In Mind That He Would Be Vice-Captain": PBKS On Jitesh Sharma-Sam Curran Row

A major controversy erupted at the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals after Sam Curran came out for the toss, representing the home side, since primary captain Shikhar Dhawan had picked up a niggle. Seeing Curran alongside RR skipper Sanju Samson, however, was surprising to many as the franchise had earlier suggested that Jitesh Sharma was their vice-captain, by sending him for the pre-season captains' photoshoot. Seeing Curran lead the side against Rajasthan, hence, upset many fans, with PBKS facing heat on social media.

Not for nothing is MS Dhoni the ultimate benchmark of unorthodoxy in cricket. Be it is batting style or his wicketkeeping prowess, nothing about Dhoni is traditional. The way he batted with innovative shots like the 'helicopter shot' made his batting look unusual but highly effective. The same can be said about his wicketkeeping. He had an unorthodox way of affecting run-outs as he did not garb the ball with both hands but instead used the ball's speed to direct it in the direction of the stumps.
