Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will host Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 21st match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday, April 7. Led by KL Rahul, LSG will be high on confidence after beating Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 28 runs in their previous game.
Following his side's win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Rajasthan Royals batter Jos Buttler, who scored a match-winning ton in his 100th game, opened up on his lean patch with the bat for the Pink franchise. Virat Kohli's blitzkrieg century went in vain as Jos Buttler's thunderous hundred lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium to power Rajasthan Royals (RR) to six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Saturday.
It is tough being Virat Kohli at the moment. The current 'Orang Cap' holder in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign, is breaking records with the bat, yet facing criticism as his team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, isn't able to register wins. On Saturday, Kohli scored an unbeaten 113, his best in the T20 league, yet he found himself making headlines for the wrong reasons. As fans and pundits question Kohli's strike-rate and intent behind the 113-run knock, Pakistan cricketer Junaid Khan brutally trolled the India star for scoring the 'slowest century in the history of IPL'.
Former India opener Navjot Singh Sidhu has reserved blockbuster praise for wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul for his versatility. Sidhu showered praise on Rahul for adapting to different roles, compring him to a "spare tyre" of a vehicle. Since making his debut for India in 2014, Rahul has batted down the order, opened the innings and has also stepped up for the team in the wicketkeeping department. Sidhu added that not many players in the world as versatile and reliable as Rahul.
A post on social media went viral where Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batting coach Michael Hussey went viral on social media where the former Australia star claimed to have taken a dig at Mumbai Indians over their recent captaincy fiasco. In the post, Hussey was quoted saying that there's only one captain that CSK feared over the years (Rohit Sharma) but he isn't leading the Mumbai franchise anymore. However, the post has turned out to be fake.
While Virat Kohli's 8th Indian Premier League ton grabbed the headlines, it was Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler''s hundred that proved to be the difference-maker on Saturday. Buttler's heroics overshadowed Virat Kohli's record-extending 113 as Rajasthan Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets for a fourth win in as many matches in the IPL. Royals now have four wins out of four and sit on top of the 10-team table while RCB slipped to the eighth spot with their fourth defeat and three on the trot. Seeing RCB lose yet another IPL 2024 match, fans unleashed memes on social media, but the winner was the one shared by food delivery giant Swiggy.
Virat Kohli surpassed a number of milestones as he hit a record-extending eighth IPL century for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which came against Rajasthan Royals on Friday. His 113* is also the star batter's joint-highest individual score in the league. During the course of his innings, Virat Kohli also became the first batter to take his tally past 7500 mark in IPL. Apart from all these records, there was another feat - a forgettable one - that Kohli match.
Virat Kohli waged almost a lone battle as Royal Challengers Bengaluru scored 183/3 against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Saturday. Virat Kohli scored 113* off 72 balls at a strike-rate of 156.94. RR surpassed the target in 19.1 overs with Jos Buttler scoring an unbeaten 100 off 58 balls (strike-rate 172.41). Virat Kohli reached the triple-digit figure mark in 67 balls - the joint slowest IPL ton ever. Social media was abuzz with Virat Kohli playing such a 'slow' knock.
