Today, they are saying 170-180 pitch, but look, today, they will cross 250b 270, it will be 500+ total!!

Yesterday, they projected 500+, but at one stage, it was doubtful, whether the score would see three digits or not!!

Saying that a pitch is a 250 pitch ain't saying much, unless a side has the batsmen to do it

In this case, neither side does. RCB batted out of their skin the other night, but in this game, while I expect them to win, it won't take a superlative effort to get there

Thanks for the tag ❤️💙

Thank you for the tag Raji! Let's go RR..

Thank you for the tag

Whichever team plays and gives their 100% win the game...

Even being RR fan..I want RCB to go because they will give SRH and KKR tough fight

One question -

When did RR and RCB played atAhmedabad in the past? as mentioned in the previous page head to head post

If RR bowlers give their best and restrict the scoring of RCB then it may help their batte otherwise no hope

Six-machine Virat

With a ball that was around his hip area, Virat Kohli flicked his wrists and sent the ball soaring into the M Chinnaswamy sky. The ball hit the roof of the stadium and fell near the ball kid near the boundary line. He picked up the length so early as Tushar Deshpande erred. A dot ball later, he danced down the track a little bit and targetted the same region off a short of a length ball. Another flick of the wrists. With those two sixes, Kohli’s tally for the 2024 season went up to… wait for it… 35! In IPL 2023, he had hit 16 sixes, for a comparison. Kohli has often spoken about how he is a four-hitter predominantly, and sixes are byproducts of good timing mostly. But this season, he has taken it to the next level. So much has been said about Nicholas Pooran, Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Sunil Narine hitting sixes. With two more slog sweep sixes later on, Kohli finished the night ahead of all of them (37 sixes).

Yash Dayal's redemption

AT YASH Dayal’s home in Prayagraj, no one was watching Saturday’s crucial Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings tie, the do-or-die game between the IPL’s two most popular sides. Since last year, the family had been wary of tuning into IPL’s high-pressure matches involving their son, the 26-year-old RCB pacer who mostly gets to bowl the all-important final over.

Back in 2023, Kolkata Knight Riders’ Rinku Singh had hit Yash for five successive sixes – the thrashing would give him and his family life-long trauma. Yash would be the target of trolls and meme-makers.

All that changed on Saturday.

RCB managed a grand comeback by knocking out CSK and snatching a play-off spot. The latter needed 17 runs in the final over to make it to the playoffs, but Yash conceded just 7. The left-arm pacer would get hugs and high-fives from teammates but also got his long-awaited redemption.

Can Rajasthan Royals turn tide?

While RCB are coming into the game with momentum on their side. RR has been in a slump losing five of the last six after looking impenetrable in the tournament's first half.

“Rajasthan, on the other hand, have lost their last four or five matches, and they didn’t play well in their last game. So they’ve been out of practice. Now, unless they do something special like KKR did today, despite not playing for 11 days, it could turn out to be another one-sided game tomorrow. I fear that it will be another one-sided game where RCB, who are playing just phenomenal cricket, will walk all over RR,” Gavaskar would say.
