After beginning their campaign with a memorable eight-wicket win over Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore faced a terrible defeat by 81 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous IPL 2023 match. The Faf du Plessis led-side will now be going up against Lucknow Super Giants for their next match on Monday. In their previous match, RCB went ahead with England pacer David Willey as Reece Topley got ruled out of the tournament due to injury. As Willey impressed everyone with his two wickets, there are chances that RCB might go with their same Playing XI against LSG.
The BCCI will do away with the practice of appointing support staff of the Indian women's cricket team on an ad-hoc basis and instead offer them long-term contacts. As per the BCCI constitution, the head coach is supposed to be picked by the Cricket Advisory Committee while the selectors pick the support staff. However, the rule regarding the women's team support staff -- batting, fielding and bowling coach -- has not been followed strictly in the past with the BCCI appointing coaches from the National Cricket Academy on a temporary basis.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) star Rinku Singh smashed 5 successive sixes on the final five deliveries of the ball against Gujarat Titans' Yash Dayal, winning the match in a historic manner for his franchise. While Rinku's heroics with the bat were truly exceptional, the spotlight also falls on Dayal who was in utter disbelief, having failed to prevent the batter from hitting 5 consecutive sixes. However, after the conclusion of the match, a chat between the two from a few days ago has emerged, and it is going viral on social media.
Lucknow Super Giants registered a five-wicket win over SunRisers Hyderabad in their previous IPL 2023 match.
