NEW DELHI : West Indies skipper Rovman Powell said he is trying to persuade all-rounder Sunil Narine to come out of international retirement for the home T20 World Cup in June.
Rajasthan Royals' star Jos Buttler on Tuesday said he never lost self belief during his match-winning hundred here and took a leaf out of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli's books on how to achieve targets from adverse situations. Buttler, who missed RR's last game against Punjab Kings due to an injury, single-handedly pulled off IPL's biggest chase while overwhelming Kolkata Knight Riders' 223 for 6 in the last ball of the match, remaining unbeaten on 107 off 60 balls.
Indian cricket team star batter Shubman Gill enjoys a massive fanbase due to his exquisite batting skills and his appearance in multiple television advertisements has further added to his popularity. Gill was handed an added responsibility ahead of IPL 2024 when he replaced Hardik Pandya as the Gujarat Titans skipper and till now, the side has won three out of their six matches in this year's competition till now. Gill's fanfare was once again quite clear as a video posted by GT on social media captured a starstruck reaction for a female fan in Ahmedabad. Gill was seen entering a hotel in Ahmedabad ahead of their game against Delhi Capitals and the fan's reactions have gone viral on social media.
Jos Buttler swung his bat merrily on way to a 60-ball 107 and single-handedly lifted Rajasthan Royals to a sensational two-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders, pulling off the IPL's biggest run chase on Tuesday. Asked to bat first, Sunil Narine's 109 off 56 balls powered hosts KKR to a formidable 223/6 in front of a packed Eden Gardens. But Buttler had other ideas as he dragged the Royals, dead an buried at 121/6 in the 13th over, past the target of 224 in the last ball of the game after the visitors needed 46 runs in the last three overs, and 28 in 12 balls. Batting first on a fresh pitch, Narine blazed away to a 49-ball 100 to lead KKR's charge in this top-of-the-table clash.
n already-troubled Hardik Pandya could be in for a big setback if things don't go his way in the ongoing Indian Premier League (PL) 2024. While the batter Hardik is yet to fire, having only scored 131 runs in 6 matches at an average of 26.20 this season. With the ball, Hardik has been fairly inconsistent to even take up the responsibility. He has barely bowled in the last 4 matches, and when he has, the opponent team's batters have ripped him apart. With a place in India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad, Pandya has reportedly been sent a clear message from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee.
It was the day of another last-over drama at the IPL 2024. Kolkata Knight Riders looked like pocketing the match against Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens but Jos Buttler had some other idea. The RR star batter scored 107* as RR chased down a target of 224 - the highest ever in IPL history - on the last ball of the 20th over. With the win, RR consolidated their top spot with 12 points from seven matches while KKR are second with eight points from six matches.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) stare at an early elimination from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 after suffering their 6th defeat in 7 matches of the campaign. Despite the bitter result against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), RCB coach Andy Flower looked to lift the morale of his team in the dressing room. Flower admitted that every game from here on is a virtual knockout for the team. While some serious comments were made in the dressing room, the coach also reserved a special praise for Dinesh Karthik whose 35-ball 83 took RCB close to SRH's target. (IPL 2024 Points Table)
Former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth said he was hurt by watching the Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowling performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a record-breaking IPL 2024 match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. On Monday night, RCB suffered their sixth defeat in seven games after losing to SRH by 25 runs, who managed a record for the highest total in IPL history with 287/3, beating their record of 277 set against the Mumbai Indians (MI) earlier in the season. Srikkanth took a dig at RCB, and advised them to play with all 11 batters, especially when they play at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Srikkanth also said that Virat Kohli could have bowled better than those who leaked 287 runs in the match.
