LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka in an Animated chat with KL Rahul in Hyderabad: Video Goes Viral.

IPL 2024: A video of LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka having an animated chat with captain KL Rahul after their 10-wicket loss in Hyderabad went viral. SRH chased down 166 in just 9.4 overs to hand Lucknow their biggest defeat in tournament history.

  • LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka and KL Rahul were seen discussing the team’s loss
  • LSG were handed a 10-wicket thrashing by SRH in Hyderabad
  • SRH chased down 166 in 9.4 overs to set a new T20 record

Owner of the Lucknow Indian Premier League franchise, Sanjiv Goenka, was seen having an animated conversation with captain KL Rahul after the Super Giants suffered their biggest defeat in a crucial IPL 2024 match to SunRisers in Hyderabad on Wednesday, May 8. Visuals of Sanjiv Goenka and KL Rahul chatting along the boundary rope at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, minutes after LSG’s 10-wicket defeat, went viral on social media.

The disappointment in the Lucknow camp was evident as owner Sanjiv Goenka, captain KL Rahul and the rest of his teammates looked gutted following the loss, which hampered the team’s chances of reaching the IPL 2024 playoffs. LSG had headed to Hyderabad with high hopes of extending their perfect record against former champions SunRisers. However, SRH were on top of their game, limiting LSG to 165 and then chasing down the total in just 9.4 overs to set a new T20 record.

LSG slipped to the sixth spot in the points table and their Net Run Rate took a huge hit after the one-sided game in Hyderabad. Lucknow has 12 points in as many games, 2 fewer than third-placed SunRisers.

KL Rahul paid the price for being timid on the field. While he won the toss and opted to bat, lack of intent in the powerplay cost the visiting team. LSG managed just 27 runs and lost 2 wickets at the end of the powerplay while SunRisers, thanks to Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head’s ruthless knocks, reached 107 at the end of their powerplay. The 80-run difference between the two teams’ totals in the powerplay is also the highest in IPL history.

KL Rahul was criticized by a section of fans and pundits. The LSG captain played an uncharacteristically slow knock — 29 off 33 balls. Thanks to Ayush Badoni’s fifty and Nicholas Pooran’s 4quick-fire 48, LSG was able to post 165 and give their bowlers something to work with.

However, SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were in the mood to hit some big ones. Head hit 8 sixes and as many boundaries for his 30-ball 89 while young Abhishek smashed 6 sixes and 8 boundaries for his 28-ball 75. The duo added 167 runs for the opening partnership and steered SRH past the finish line in record time.

I AM LOST FOR WORDS: RAHUL

KL Rahul echoed the emotions of millions of cricket fans who watched SunRisers make a mockery of the 166-run target, acknowledging the incredible big-hitting show from Head and Sharma.

“I am lost for words,” he said while talking to the broadcasters after the one-sided contest.

“We have watched that kind of batting on TV. But this is unreal batting. Everything seemed to find the middle of the bat. Kudos to their skills. They have worked hard on their six-hitting skills. They didn’t give us a chance to know what the pitch played in the second innings,” he added.

LSG Owner will look to bounce back and return to winning ways when they take on Delhi at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on May 14. They will end the league stages with a trip to Mumbai on May 17. Rahul and LSG have a proud record to keep up as the Lucknow-based franchise has never failed to make the playoffs in their nascent IPL history. 

Following SRH’s 10-wicket Thumping, LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka Publicly vents his rage at KL Rahul; the Images are Shocking.

After the match, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka was seen having an animated chat with skipper KL Rahul on the ground.

Lucknow Super Giants suffered a crushing defeat against Pat Cummins and Co. on Wednesday, which put them in a tricky spot in the playoffs race. It was a dismal performance from LSG bowlers Sanjiv Goenka and their top-order in batting as Sunrisers Hyderabad crushed them at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.

LSG skipper KL Rahul won the toss and elected to bat first, but the decision backfired for them as they lost Quinton de Kock and Marcus Stoinis early in the powerplay, which put pressure on Rahul, and he went into his shell once again. The LSG captain failed to rise under the pressure and scored 29 runs off 33 balls. He looked sluggish throughout the innings as LSG scored just one boundary in the powerplay and hit 27 runs. Meanwhile, Ayush Badoni (55*) and Nicholas Pooran (48*) helped them post a fighting total of 165/4 on the scoreboard.

However, SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma made a mockery of it and chased it down in just 9.4 overs. Head smashed 89*, and fellow left-hander Abhishek, who hit 75*, tore into the opposition attack to romp home with 10.2 overs to spare at their home in Uppal.

After the match, LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka was seen having an animated chat with skipper Rahul on the ground. It didn’t look a pleasant sight as Goenka looked miffed with the team’s performances, and many suggested he should have waited to get to the dressing room or a meeting room to have that conversation instead of doing it in a public place.

‘Lost for words’

Head and Abhishek showed no mercy and smashed the LSG Sanjiv Goenka bowlers all around the park to chase down the 166-run target in just 9.4 overs to script several records as LSG players had an embarrassing night.

“I’m lost for words. We’ve watched that batting on TV but that was unreal,” Lucknow skipper KL Rahul said of the bludgeoning by the Hyderabad openers.

“Everything was hitting the middle of the bat, kudos to their skill, they’ve worked very hard on their six-hitting.”

However, it will be crucial for LSG to get over the humiliating defeat quickly as they are still in the playoffs race and have to win their remaining two matches to make a case for themselves.

IPL 2024: Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel put their names on the Delhi Capitals’ list of players with the most wickets.

New Delhi [India], May 8 (ANI): Delhi Capitals spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel registered their names in the list of most wickets for the franchise during the clash against Rajasthan Royals in the 56th fixture of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Tuesday.
Kuldeep’s game-changing 17th over combined with Mukesh Kumar taking key wickets at the crucial points kept DC alive in their hunt for a spot in the playoffs following their 20-run win over RR at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

On one side Kuldeep finished with the figures of 4-0-25-2 on the other hand Axar bowled three overs and took one wicket in his spell of three overs where he conceded 25
runs.
With this Axar bagged 61 wickets and Kuldeep grabbed 45 wickets for the Capitals in the history of the cash-rich league.
The highest wicket-taker for the Delhi-based franchise is veteran leg spinner Amit Mishra with a total of 106 wickets. The other players in the list are Kagiso Rabada (76), Anrich Nortje (60) and Morne Morkel (45).
Coming to the game, RR won the toss and opted to bowl first. Fine half-centuries from youngsters Jake Fraser McGurk (50 in 20 balls, with seven fours and three sixes) and Abhishek Porel (63 in 36 balls, with seven fours and three sixes) and an entertaining cameo by Tristan Stubbs (41 in 20 balls, with three fours and three sixes) took DC to 221/8 in their 20 overs.

Ravichandran Ashwin (3/24) was the top bowler for RR.
In the run chase, though RR lost their openers early, skipper Sanju Samson (86* in 46 balls, with eight fours and six sixes), Riyan Parag (27 in 22 balls, with a four and three sixes) and Shubham Dubey (25 in 12 balls with two fours and two sixes) kept RR in hunt but the dismissal of Sanju turned out to be a gamechanger that left RR short of a win.
Kuldeep, Mukesh Kumar, and Khaleel Ahmed took two wickets while Axar Patel and Rashikh Dar Salam got one each.
Kuldeep won the Player of the Match for his spell of 2/25.
DC has climbed to fifth with six wins, six losses, and 12 points. RR stays second with eight wins, three losses, and 16 points.
Kuldeep Yadav’s game-changing 17th over combined with Mukesh Kumar taking key wickets at the crucial points kept Delhi Capitals alive in their hunt for a spot in the playoffs following their 20-run win over Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Kuldeep in his 17th over conceded just four runs and picked two wickets which helped DC take advantage in the final moments of the game.DC scored 53 runs in the final three overs while the Royals managed only 20 runs which played a key role in their defeat and at the same time kept DC’s hopes alive.

DC vs RR IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant and Samson in the Delhi Capitals’ matchup with the powerful Rajasthan Royals.

DC vs RR began the season on the wrong foot, losing four of its first five games. But the Rishabh Pant-led side soon clicked into gear, winning four of its next matches to put itself in contention for a playoff spot.

Delhi Capitals’ (DC) stop-start IPL 2024 campaign enters its final lap as it takes on the formidable Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Tuesday.

DC began the season on the wrong foot, losing four of its first five games. But the Rishabh Pant-led side soon clicked into gear, winning four of its next matches to put itself in contention for a playoff spot.

But a heavy defeat against Kolkata Knights Riders in its last game has put DC back on its haunches, with its top-four chances now hinging on other results.

For Royals, the plot has been far more buoyant. Sanju Samson’s men have been on a roll, sitting second in the table with eight wins out of ten matches. A win against DC will help it get back on top of the standings, displacing Kolkata Knight Riders.

The mood in the Royals camp continues to be upbeat despite a nerve-wracking last-ball defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game.

Royals’ success this season has been built around their well-rounded batting unit. They currently boast four players – Riyan Parag, Samson, Yashavi Jaiswal, and Jos Buttler – with a 300+ run tally this season – more than any other team in the league.

Besides these four, the Royals also have the West Indian lower-order big-hitting duo of Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell and the up-and-coming Dhruv Jurel.

Royals’ batting brawn will fit well with the conditions at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, which has seen runs flow faster than any other venue in this IPL (11.85 runs per over – RPO).

DC too has some firepower in its rank, with the prominent ammunition being its young Aussie opener Jake Fraser-McGurk.

In the last two years, among batters to have scored at least 500 T20 runs, no one has a better strike rate than Fraser-McGurk (180.21). The 22-year-old has now set the IPL alight with his loose-limbed free-hitting, scoring 259 runs at a scarcely believable strike rate of 233.33.

On the bowling front too, the Royals have an advantage over the home side. While DC bowlers have leaked 10.24 RPO this season, Samson’s men have gone a shade under nine (8.99 RPO).

A major subplot to watch out for on Tuesday would be the matchup between Pant and Samson. While both keeper-batters cut India’s T20 World Cup squad, there is still no clarity regarding who will get the final nod in playing 11. A strong finish to the IPL season could just make the case for either of the two.

When these two sides met earlier in the season, in Jaipur, Rajasthan Royals squeezed out a nervy 12-run win. A similar result on Tuesday could all but ring the death knell for DC’s IPL campaign.

MI vs KKR: Mumbai Indians are looking to bounce back after a disappointing show with the bat while Kolkata Knight Riders are looking to get closer to the top of the table

After a disappointing batting performance in the last game, the Mumbai Indians will look to make amends against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday. The five-time former champions have had a tempestuous run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and are now hanging on by the thread of results from other teams.

KKR, on the other hand, pulverized the Delhi Capitals in their last encounter with sharp performances in bowling and batting. The twice former winners at the tournament began by outclassing DC batters courtesy of some great bowling by Varun Chakravarthy who scalped three wickets that helped the team restrict their opponents to 153 runs. The chase was inclined in KKR’s interest from the very beginning as opener Phil Salt smashed 68 runs off 33 balls to propel his team to victory and climb to no.2 in the points table.

The titanic batting unit of MI consisting of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Verma fell cheaply against the LSG. The hosts will look to get their act together to secure the crucial two points with their playoff chances already looking bleak.

Pitch Report

The Wankhede Stadium is considered a suitable pitch for both batting and bowling. While the ground offers and quick outfield, the surface provides good bounce to the bowlers as well. The ground has hosted 113 runs so far where 61 matches have been won by team batting second. Therefore, skippers from both teams are expected to bowl first.

Head-to-head

Both teams have met each other on 32 occasions over the years where Mumbai have heavily dominated the head-to-head with 23 wins in their favour.

Fantasy XI

Phil Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rinku Singh Tilak Verma, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarty, Jasprit Bumrah, Piyush Chawla, Mitchell Starc

  • India T20 WC Squad LIVE Updates: Pathan backs “captain” Rohit!

Irfan Pathan feels Rohit Sharma is currently the best individual to lead the team into the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup

“As far as captaincy is concerned, he is the best leader you have. We always talk about the players, but leadership is a different thing. We saw what happened in this IPL with quite a few captains; it’s not easy. Captaining a side in cricket still holds great value and this is why we always talk highly about Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He has been rated highly by the entire world for the reason that it’s such a tough job, and he made it very simple. And after Mahendra Singh Dhoni, when test matches came, Virat was your best captain ever, the way he took the team in front. So the leadership was there for the world to see how he was making an impact in test cricket. But when it comes to recent white ball cricket, you can’t look beyond Rohit Sharma. He is your best leader, even with the bench strength considered. In the future, they will be keeping an eye on Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah as far as captaincy is concerned. Now we have Hardik Pandya as the Vice Captain, Rishabh Pant is also there in your leadership role group if he gets going because he was there in the leadership role before he got injured. So there are three or four ready guys, but Rohit is the number one.”

India T20 WC Squad LIVE Updates: Sangakkara backs selectors! Amid criticism over the squad selection, former Sri Lanka captain and Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara feels India’s squad is strong and balanced.

“It’s an extremely strong squad. They’ve got their batting covered, they’ve got their all-rounders in. They’ve got very high-quality spin and they’ve got very good combinations that they can play. Knowing the conditions there, I’m sure Rahul (Dravid) and Rohit (Sharma) have a good idea of what the squad should be to play the cricket they want in the World Cup. And they’ll be having two or three different combinations, depending on whether they want a deeper batting line-up or more strength in their bowling. But it’s a well-balanced squad, a very strong squad, and India’s always been very strong in international tournaments,” Sangakarra said ahead of the SRH vs RR IPL 2024 match.

Speaking after the match, PBKS captain Sam Curran said, “Very happy. Every time you come to Chennai and take two wins, always a special feeling. Same as last year, we lost a lot of our home games and won away, finding a similar pattern. We are in a position where we need to win all our games, we come up against the same opposition in a few days. I think when you come to Chennai, you know how hot it is and dew is going to settle in.”

“Today we wanted to try something different by trying Rabada in the powerplay. We wanted to use our spinners later on, so took a punt on trying KG within the powerplay. Chahar came back and was the best bowler in the 260 games, and he’s bowling with great confidence. He stepped up when I asked him to bowl against MSD in the 19th over. (On bowling Chahar on the 19th) The pace bowlers were going for a bit in the end, and I wanted to try something different.

“Asked Rilee what he reckoned and took that gamble with spin. In this game where everyone has been going for runs, you need to take such gambles. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. We come against the same opposition so we have one up on them. It is a new game, new conditions but this win will give us a lot of confidence. I think our bowlers were superb, the spinners and Jonny striking them well, even the way we paced that chase, it was brilliant. Need to build on that confidence,” he further added.

Day after Virat Kohli’s exclusion from the T20 World Cup, Ruturaj Gaikwad passes him in the Orange Cap race.

IPL 2024 CSK vs. PBKS: Ruturaj Gaikwad scored his fourth consecutive 50-plus run to cap off an incredible performance in Chennai. After winning the Orange Cap from Virat Kohli, the skipper of CSK amassed 508 runs in ten games.

A day after he was not named in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad became the highest run-getter in IPL 2024, overtaking Virat Kohli in the Orange Cap race. Ruturaj went to the leaderboard position after hitting 62 off 48 balls against PBKS on a pitch that was not entirely conducive for batters at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Ruturaj Gaikwad hit his third successive fifty-plus score as he single-handedly helped the Super Kings post a competitive total of xx in 20 overs. Ruturaj’s effort was praiseworthy as CSK’s middle order failed after a solid opening partnership between the captain and senior campaigner Ajinkya Rahane. Ruturaj’s game awareness was on display as he held the innings together, not opening up his shoulders until the 17th over of the contest, knowing the importance of his wicket.

Ruturaj Gaikwad was batting on 45 off 42 balls at the end of the 16th over, showing no signs of weakness in the face of pressure from the scoreboard. Ruturaj Gaikwad took full advantage of a free hit following a no-ball from PBKS captain Sam Curran to hit the first six of the CSK innings in the 17th over. As the hosts amassed 20 runs in the over, the CSK captain gave their innings the much-needed boost by hitting Curran for two sixes and a boundary.

Ruturaj Gaikwad was out for 62 in the eighteenth over, just as he was about to step on the gas. Ruturaj attempted to clear space and smash one over the cover fielder but was unable to handle a yorker-length ball from Arshdeep.

Ruturaj Gaikwad became the top run scorer by surpassing Virat Kohli’s 500 runs. Ruturaj has continued his incredible form at the bat; in the last five games at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, he has scored 46, 67 not out, 108 not out, 98, and 62. A day after the announcement of India’s 15-man T20 World Cup team, Ruturaj rose to the top of the rankings. Despite his prior contributions to the T20I side, Ruturaj was not included in the Indian 15-man squad.

IPL 2024 CSK vs. PBKS were restricted 162 for 7 despite an 11-ball 14 from MS Dhoni, who was dismissed for the first time in the season when he was run out in the final delivery of their innings.

Rahul Chahar’s 19th over made it difficult for CSK to push their total over 170 as the leg-spinner kept MS Dhoni quiet, conceding just 3 runs. Arshdeep Singh conceded 13 in the last over, but PBKS still kept things tight.
