Virat Kohli is the swami at the Chinnaswamy: Suresh Raina | Ipl News

As Kolkata Knight Riders take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru, one of the intriguing battles to watch out for is how the RCB talisman Virat Kohli is going to deal with the off-spin of Sunil Narine, who is a master of using variations and bamboozling the batters and has picked up RCB opener four times from 17 innings. However, Kohli has been in good form this season, and former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina is confident that Kohli is playing in rhythm and can deal with Narine. “Virat Kohli is the swami at the Chinnaswamy. He won’t be able to dismiss Virat now because he is playing in rhythm. The record you are talking about his four dismissals in 18 years, he might have gotten stuck somewhere,” Raina said, speaking on Star Sports. “However, he is playing ‘Virat’ knocks now. He is already in the Orange Cap race, and Virat knows how to play him. He is also playing the sweep now. Along with the paddle sweep, he is also playing the slog sweep. He is reading …

RCB’s wretched season continues as they go down to KKR by 1 run despite Karn Sharma late charge | Ipl News

Synopsis: Mitchell Starc has day to forget as Karn Sharma almost sees RCB through. But Andre Russell’s well-timed dismissal of Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar help KKR win by just a solitary run On Saturday, Dinesh Karthik had said that due to RCB’s batting woes, specialist spinner Karn Sharma couldn’t play the last couple of matches due to Bengaluru’s need to introduce a batter as an Impact player. On Sunday, with 15 runs remaining off the last over, Sharma almost pulled off a heist for his franchise, hitting three sixes off Mitchell Starc but ultimately falling to the speedster as KKR edged past RCB by just 1 run. Between the 5th to 11th overs, it was looking like smooth sailing for RCB as Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar smashed the KKR bowlers all around the field, bringing up their respective fifties in quickfire fashion while taking their team to 137/2 in 11 overs. Enter Andre Russell in the 12th, snapping up both the well-set batters in the same over as Bengaluru’s penchant for collapse returned …

KKR vs RCB, emotional rollercoaster: From Virat Kohli’s fury to Mitch Starc’s mini recovery, what caught our eye in a crazy game at Eden Gardens | Ipl News

Starc giveth, Starc taketh away There is a satirical tweet that went viral some time back. It went something like ‘I asked my landlord if he can increase my rent because I believe in the grind’. It’s been a meme template since. The 20th over bowled by Mitch Starc for KKR against RCB went something like that. When RCB needed 21 off 6 balls, and Starc – one of the most top modern-day bowlers – was bowling to Karn Sharma, you’d have thought there was only result. But when Karn sliced one behind point for six off the first ball, you thought… hang on. Then off the third ball, Karn smashed one over cover for another six. Wait, surely not? The fourth ball, same result as the first. Another six. But Starc, having let RCB get close to the finish line, pulled the rug out from under their feet. A stunning caught and bowled, low to his right on follow-through left Karn crestfallen. A run out last ball and it was another chase that was …

Narine shows why he is still a precious commodity in the IPL | Ipl News

Synopsis: Narine’s fireworks, in his 500th T20 appearance, topple Kohli’s masterclass, despite hoddy catching and expensive Starc A few hours before the match, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Gautam Gambhir was shown telling the host broadcasters in a prerecorded video that “the one team I wanted to beat every time and probably in my dreams was RCB,” Gambhir said. His team did not let him down, as they brushed aside RCB by seven wickets in a full-house Chinnaswamy Stadium. Thus, they became the first team to win a game on the road in IPL-17. Narine’s onslaught, Venky’s flair Chasing 183 to win, Sunil Narine came down on the Bengaluru bowlers like a ton of bricks and smashed a 22-ball 47 as Kolkata scored 85 runs in the first six overs. KKR’s chase started with Phil Salt hitting Mohammed Siraj for a six and looted 18 runs from the first over. Thereafter, the home bowlers looked rattled. Skipper Faf only used pacers in the powerplay to exploit the vulnerability of Narine against short balls. But the …

Can’t take that kind of an attitude.” .@GautamGambhir thinks @RCBTweets have massively underachieved in the past despite having @imVkohli, @henrygayle and @ABdeVilliers17 😬 Gambhir dreams of getting back on the field and beat …

RCB vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2024: Bengaluru eye second win at Chinnaswamy, Russell in focus for Kolkata; Toss, Playing XI updates | Cricket News

RCB vs KKR Playing XI prediction Can RCB bounce out Russell? The big West Indian has had a fair share of troubles when a quick bowler at a high pace bowled bumpers to him and against Punjab Kings RCB was clinical in using the two-bouncer per-over rule at the death and can expect the same tactic used against Kolkata and Russell. However, the catch for RCB is the boundaries are shorter at the ground with the power Russell possesses even mishits can fly hence the bouncer strategy needs to be done judiciously. Source link
