IPL 2024 Eliminator: RR vs RCB The in-form team will play the Royals in Ahmedabad.

While they look to win their first championship in Eliminator 1 against the Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have taken the crowd by surprise by winning six straight games. The resurgent team has finally found their groove and is now unbeatable after eliminating the previous champion Chennai Super Kings and keeping them from finishing in the top 4.

However, RR has fallen short of them after dropping their latest game and losing four in a row. The team will rely on performances from its batting aces, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel, as they attempt to recapture their previous momentum.

Player Statistics (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

1. Virat Kohli

Leading from the front as the highest run-scorer of the tournament so far, Virat Kohli has been a crucial driving force in RCB campaign. The Indian batter has scored a mind-boggling 708 runs from 14 matches at an average of 64.36 which included 5 fifties and a solitary hundred.

2. Faf Du Plessis

Players who can make a difference

1. Yash Dayal

Yash Dayal has bowled comprehensively this season, leading as the highest wicket-taker for RCB. One of the most proficient players at the death, the left-arm pacer bowled the decisive last over against CSK in the last match which turned the fortunes of RCB as they qualified for the playoffs.

2. Dinesh Karthik

Veteran wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik’s contribution in the lower-middle order have been very crucial for the RCB. Karthik can shift the momentum rapidly down the order by providing 20-30 extra runs to the scoreline. In 14 matches, the RCB batter has scored 315 runs at a soaring strike rate of 195.65 with 2 fifties to his name.

Player Statistics (Rajasthan Royals)

1. Riyan Parag

Left-hand batter Riyan Parag has been impressive in the middle-order for the Royals. The young gun scored 531 runs from 14 matches with four fifties to his name and the highest score for him being an unbeaten 84.

2. Sanju Samson

Skipper Sanju Samson has kept the hopes alive for RR in crucial junctures of the match, even when the other players have faltered in the batting unit. Being the second highest run scorer in the team, Samson has scored 504 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 156.52 with 5 fifties to his name.

Players who can make a difference

1. Yuzvendra Chahal

RR’s spin wizard Yuzvendra Chahal has been the highest wicket-taker for the Royals so far. The Indian wrist spinner has picked timely wickets and stopped the flow of runs in the testing phases of the game. Chahal has picked 17 wickets from 13 matches at an economy of 9.38.

2. Sandeep Sharma

Medium-pacer Sandeep Sharma has been one of the trickiest players to deal with in the Royals line-up. The Indian bowler has played a vital role in restraining the run-flow in the middle and death overs. In 9 matches, Sandeep has picked 10 wickets at an excellent economy of 7.93.

Head-to-head

As the two teams contest for the 32nd time in the history of IPL, their head-to-head has been in favour of the Royal Challengers who won 15 meetings. The inaugural edition champions follow them with 13 wins with 4 matches ending in no result.

Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium has been a batting paradise that offers a lot of scoring opportunities for the batsmen. The due factor in the second innings acts as an icing on the cake for the team batting second. And evidently so, out of the 33 matches played here at this venue, 18 matches have been won by teams batting second. Thus, the teams winning the toss must bowl first at this venue and restrict the team to a chasable total.

Match Prediction

As resurgent RCB come from six consecutive wins, the momentum will be convincingly in their favour against a struggling RR who have lost four consecutive encounters. With Virat Kohli and co. looking in fiery hot form, the RCB stand as the favourites to win the clash. As per the Google Win Predictor, Bangalore have a 55% chance of winning the match against the former champions.

‘Apni Aukaat Mat Bhulo’: Social Media Slams ‘Classless’ RCB Players for Neglecting CSK’s MS Dhoni After Playoff Decider Clash.

Fans and followers alike referred to RCB’s post-match celebration and their failure to give MS Dhoni a handshake as “classless” and “over the top” on social media, which sparked a discussion over the true spirit of the game.

A apparently insurmountable task presented as simple. Last night, Royal Challengers Bengaluru shocked everyone by winning six straight games and securing the final playoff berth, a point ahead of CSK, whom they routed by 27 runs in the Chinnaswamy on Saturday.

The RCB players came to the pitch in wild celebration to commemorate their stunning playoff qualification. Reaching a goal of this magnitude demands joy as well.

But as usual, there is more scrutiny when there are greater stakes. The “classless” and “prideful” celebration style that the Bengaluru team adopted following their victory over CSK has also gained popularity recently.

Fan footage from the Chinnaswamy last night following RCB’s triumph has surfaced on X. In it, the home team is shown celebrating by charging to the middle of the crease while the losers, CSK, are seen line up in order to shake hands with their opponents, with talisman MS Dhoni leading the pack.

But, as a counter, many other users have also raised the question to MS Dhoni’s reaction, who is seen promptly walking away before shaking the players’ hands, who were in the middle of the crease.

Others pointed out Dhoni’s reaction as ‘arrogant’, stating that the CSK man could have indulged in some patience had he looked to address his rivals.

No matter what the case may be, one thing is for certain. RCB pulled off one of the biggest comebacks in IPL history, after clinching only one win in their first 8 games to securing playoff qualification. And that is surely something that calls for celebration.

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.

Watch | Virat Kohli “haughty” rant on pundits who belittle his strike rate; online users are not impressed

This IPL season, Virat Kohli of the Royals has been in unbelievable form, amassing 500 runs at a strike rate of 147 and an average of 77. Even though he received criticism for his performance against spinners, Kohli focuses on leading the team to victory and brushes off the criticism of his style of play.

This season, former captain and RCB opening batsman Virat Kohli has been in excellent form, regularly topping the IPL run-scoring rankings and contributing to his team’s early success. This IPL season, the 35-year-old batsman has amassed 500 runs at an average of 77 and a strike rate of 147. But this season, Kohli has come under heavy criticism for his lack of initiative against the spinners, particularly during the middle overs of the game. The veteran of the RCB has finally come up to discuss his thoughts on the subject following Sunday’s game against the Gujarat Titans.

During the post-match talks, Kohli made a jab at his detractors by saying, “The people who love talking about this stuff are the ones who talk about strike rates and me not playing spin well.” But all that matters to me is getting the team to win the game. You’ve been doing this every day for 15 years for a reason—you’ve helped your teams win games, which is why.”

“I am not quite sure if you’ve been in that situation yourself to sit and speak about the game from a box. I don’t think it’s the same thing. So for me, it’s just about doing my job. People can talk about their ideas and assumptions of the game, but those who have done it day in [and] day out know what’s happening, and it’s kind of a muscle memory for me now.”

Simond Doul says Virat Kohli reading ‘rubbish’ on social media:

Simon Doull, a former captain of New Zealand, took exception to Kohli’s comment, saying that the Indian skipper was reading some inappropriate material and that the comment was unnecessary.

“I think he is reading a lot of stuff on social media and is reacting to it,” Doull remarked in an interview with Cricbuzz. Someone from his team is telling him what is being said if he is not reading. Being a fantastic player, he didn’t need to respond in that way following the game.

“This year, this is not the first time. He usually makes a statement following the game. The former Kiwi pacer continued, “There’s no need for him to read the garbage on social media and then make huge statements.

Khatron Ke Khiladi 14: Abhishek Kumar, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, and Shoaib Ibrahim will feature in Rohit Shetty’s show, which will be filmed in Romania.

Netizens not impressed with Kohli’s ‘from a box’ remark:

Virat Kohli’s blunt reply on his strike rate also didn’t sit down well with many users on social media stating that the criticism wasn’t ‘invalid’.

One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “He has worked on his game to show more intent vs spin, and it came off. That doesn’t make all the criticism invalid.”

Another user wrote, “Man, your team is last in the points table while you hold the orange cap. You aren’t winning games for your team… that’s clear!!”

Yet another user said, “A Sportsman of his stature doesn’t need to prove or sound insecure with such statements.”

SRH vs.RCB 2024: Virat Kohli reaches 400 runs this season and smacks his third half-century in the IPL.

Virat Kohli hammered a half-century in 37 balls in the match on Thursday between SRH vs. RCB 2024.

However, Jaydev Unadkat’s slower bouncer quickly had Kohli at 51. While attempting a pull shot, Kohli struck a deep square leg instead. After hitting 51 runs off 43 deliveries, the star hitter left the game.

Despite the setbacks, RCB defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL match on Thursday, thanks to Virat Kohli’s tenacious fifty and Rajat Patidar’s forceful fifty off twenty.

Star batsman Virat Kohli and captain Faf du Plessis chose to bat first, and they made sure to give RCB a good start with the bat as they pummelled the SRH spinners all over the pitch.

T Natarajan was subsequently introduced into the attack by captain Pat Cummins, and the bowler handed his side a much-needed breakthrough when he removed RCB captain Faf du Plessis. Du Plessis was defeated by Natarajan’s slower bouncer.

After reaching fifty, Jaydev Unadkat took the crucial wicket for SRH by getting rid of the highly effective Patidar on the very next ball.

After hitting 51 runs in 43 deliveries, Kohli was removed by Unadkat with a weak shot, despite smashing a tenacious fifty within 37 balls. Taking out Mahipal Lomror, Unadkat claimed his third wicket of the evening in his 100th IPL encounter.

The speed at which wickets fell during the SRH innings surprised Kavya Maran, owner of the team, and her outraged response went viral on social media, prompting people to make hilarious memes.

We have shown outstanding fighting in the last two games. KKR game as well: 1 run; SRH game was 270 plus; we got 260. We’ve been close for a long time, but collective confidence comes from winning games. I’ll have a better night’s sleep tonight. You are unable to project confidence onto others through speech or imitation.”

“Performance is the only thing that inspires confidence. You’ll get hurt if you’re not at your best because the teams and competition are so powerful. Guys are now scoring runs in greater numbers. Just Virat was scoring runs in the first half of the competition. For Greeny, it will be huge to score runs at this point. We are aware of that, Chinnaswamy, and it has greatly irritated us. It’s a challenging field to bowl on. At the post-match presentation, RCB captain Faf Du Plessis remarked, “We’ve tried to find a recipe for it, but it’s tough.”

“It was not the best night. We were a little off with the ball and, regrettably, lost a couple of wickets during our innings. We decided to bat first, and it seemed to be effective for us.”
