Published by Webster

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) survived a late charge by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), registering a one-run win in their IPL 2024 match at the Eden Gardens. However, KKR’s win was overshadowed by Virat Kohli‘s controversial dismissal. Kohli, who made a seven-ball 18, mistimed a slower full toss and fell caught and bowled off Harshit Rana. However, the former RCB captain was confident that the high full-toss was above his waist as the umpires checked for a no-ball. Third umpire Michael Gough declared it out after technology suggested that Kohli was ahead of the popping crease and the ball had dipped due to the lack of pace on the delivery. The decision sparked an angry outburst from Kohli, who was furious after exchanging words with the on-field officials. Former RCB batter AB de Villiers and ex-India all-rounder Irfan Pathan shared their views on Kohli’s controversial dismissal. De Villiers and Pathan gave contrasting views on the same. The former South Africa captain said that there is lack of clarity and grey areas in rules, which led Kohli’s …

Published by Webster

Former India leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan took a sly dig at renowned cricket commentator and analyst Harsha Bhogle over his remarks on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). For the unversed, Bhogle put out a post saying that CSK were 20 runs short of the par score during their IPL 2024 match against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium last week. He explained that “with a bit of dew coming in and not many bowling options” CSK might struggle to defend the target against a batting-heavy MI side. “206 is a fine score but on this surface, with a bit of dew coming in and not many bowling options, #CSK will think they needed another 20,” Bhogle had posted on X. Sivaramakrishnan, however, blasted Bhogle for his prediction. “You guys love to put Chennai guys down, you have done it with me but not with csk. Mumbai freaks,” Sivaramakrishnan replied on Bhogle’s post. The 58-year-old didn’t stop here as he also questioned Bhogle’s contribution towards Indian cricket. “Really wonder what your contribution is to Indian …
