‘Dhoni should go to school on RCB bowlers’: Matthew Hayden on what he wants to see in RCB vs CSK | Ipl News

Mahendra Singh Dhoni could possibly be playing his final IPL game today at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, when it plays host to the RCB vs CSK IPL match. While Dhoni has not confirmed that he will be retiring after this season — choosing to keep even CSK batting coach Michael Hussey in the dark about his future plans — there is an expectation that it could be Dhoni’s final game if RCB defeat CSK and the Chennai franchise are knocked out. RCB vs CSK IPL match liveblog At the moment, the chances of CSK getting knocked out are slim. Chennai can sneak through into the IPL playoffs with a defeat to RCB too. If CSK win, they stride into the playoffs. If it gets washed out due to rains, then too the five-time champions will make it to the playoffs. For RCB, however, the equation — and consequently, the room for error, is tighter. RCH will have to win by a certain margin: for example, if it’s for a score of 200 by the team batting …

But they have been reborn like the mythical phoenix. With Virat Kohli giving them wings to fly, they have scripted a stunning turnaround to inch quietly to the play-offs, which looked like a farfetched dream in the middle of April. Win their last league match on Saturday, all those criticisms about the strike-rates and lack of frontline spinners and a toothless attack would be forgotten. A meme material for much of this season, they have an opportunity to enter the banter room. Muted just four weeks into the IPL, the chants “Ee saala cup namde” are beginning to be heard again slowly.

Virat Kohli on critics: ‘Performance is my only currency, I know what I can do on ground’ | Ipl News

Virat Kohli has been in the news this season for his strike rate, with even Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar asking questions about his slow strike rate. Virat Kohli, not one to hold back, recently had picked up a verbal feud with his critics over his numbers. In a recently-released video ahead of the RCB vs CSK game, Virat Kohli has doubled down on his opinion on “external voices”. When Virat Kohli was asked about how he reacted to the outsides noises in a special show on JioCinema, the Orange Cap holder said, “Zaroorat nahi hai (Don’t need to react). I know what I can do on ground. I don’t need to tell anyone what kind of player I am or what my ability is. I’ve never asked anyone how to win a match. I’ve learnt this by figuring it out myself in the middle of the ground by failing from experience. It’s not a by-chance thing when you’re repeatedly winning matches for the team. For someone to see and analyse a moment and for …

While Mumbai Indians were knocked out of the playoffs race long ago, Lucknow Super Giant’s chances of making the last-four are extremely bleak even if they win their last IPL game here by a huge margin.

Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL 2024 Live Streaming: The Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants will face each other in an inconsequential match in the Indian Premier League on Friday. MI were the first team to be knocked out of the tournament while LSG’s bleak chances of qualifying were dented after they lost by huge margins to KKR and SRH and then to DC. For the MI, their Indian players who have been selected for the upcoming T20 World Cup, will be hoping for a good outing against the laggards LSG with Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya in less than stellar form with Suryakumar Yadav blowing hot and cold. The only consistent one in the group of India players heading to the T20 World Cup is Jasprit Bumrah who has taken 20 wickets from 13 matches. LSG, meanwhile, have been mired with controversy since owner’s Sanjeev Goenka’s apparent outburst against KL Rahul was caught on camera after their heavy 10-wocket defeat against Hyderabad. With the team’s morale way down, LSG combusted against the Delhi …
