History-maker Virat Kohli becomes first player to achieve massive milestone in IPL for RCB against DC – India TV

Image Source : AP Virat Kohli was playing his 250th game in the IPL, all for Royal Challengers Bengaluru Virat Kohli scripted history in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday, May 2 as he became the fourth player in the tournament’s history to play 250 matches and the only one to play all of them for just one team as he took the field for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) against the Delhi Capitals. Kohli became the fourth player after MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik to achieve the feat. Kohli has been in terrific form in the 2024 edition of the IPL scoring 661 runs striking at 155 and is currently the Orange Cap holder. Kohli is head and shoulders ahead of players to play most matches for a team as the player closest to him is MS Dhoni, who has played 233 games for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and might be playing his final season in the tournament. Most matches played in IPL for one team 250* – Virat Kohli (RCB) 233 – MS Dhoni (CSK)211 – Rohit Sharma (MI)189 – Kieron Pollard (MI)176 – Suresh Raina (CSK)174 – Sunil Narine (KKR) Most matches played in IPL 263* – MS Dhoni (CSK/RPS)256 – Rohit Sharma (MI/Deccan)255 – Dinesh Karthik (DC/GL/KKR/RCB/KXIP/MI)250* – Virat Kohli (RCB) Kohli started well against the Delhi bowlers hitting them to all parts before the visitors struck back. Mukesh Kumar accounted for Faf du Plessis’ wicket and Ishant Sharma got his good friend Kohli before the catch-dropping saga began. Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar feasted on DC’s poor fielding and stitched an 88-run partnership with as many as four catches getting dropped.  However, it was a splendid comeback for the Capitals as RCB lost 7 wickets for 63 runs in the last 46 deliveries. RCB would feel that they left a few runs out there but they will have to win at any cost to stay alive in the playoffs race.

India's Predicted XI Against USA: Rohit Sharma To Make 2 Changes; Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja Out?

India’s Predicted XI Against USA: Rohit Sharma To Make 2 Changes; Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja Out?

India Predicted Playing 11 vs USA: India will be squaring off against co-hosts and debutants USA for their next T20 World Cup 2024, Group A match on Wednesday in New York. After pulling-off a stunning victory against Pakistan in a low-scoring thriller, Rohit Sharma and co would be eager to add another win to their brilliant World Cup campaign. On the other hand, USA, who are making their first appearance in the T20 World Cup, left everyone utterly impressed with a surprising Super Over win over Pakistan. The Monank Patel-led side, which is filled with some former Indian players, will look to put up a good show against the might India. In the first two games, India’s weakest link was Shivam Dube. The Chennai Super Kings’ most valued ‘Impact Player’ is finding it tough on two-paced tracks where the ball is gripping and coming late onto the bat. But unlike tactician-par-excellence MS Dhoni, who could bench him during CSK’s bowling in the IPL, national skipper Rohit Sharma doesn’t have such luxury and needs to hide him in areas of the field where the ball is expected to travel less. Dube is a monstrous hitter of spinners on good flat decks and his military medium seam-up stuff does give the Indian skipper cushion to manoeuvre with the bowling combination. But in a format like T20, the team management, which asked for Dube at the expense of Rinku Singh, would want him to come good. Else, there is Yashasvi Jaiswal in the 15, who is a way more rounded batter than the big-bodied Mumbaikar. Two wrist spinners, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, should be given some game time or else they might just enter the Super Eights a bit undercooked in the Caribbean where the pitches will be more spin-friendly. India’s Predicted XI against USA: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh (With PTI Inputs) Topics mentioned in this article

India vs Bangladesh, IND vs BAN , Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : India vs Bangladesh𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Oct 12, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:00 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, Rangareddy, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 3rd T20I 2024 India marching towards a series whitewash against Bangladesh India vs Bangladesh TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis It is difficult to beat India in India they say. Well, the Indian team is rightly living up to the expectations. They dominated Bangladesh in New Delhi, securing the T20I series 2-0 with one match remaining. The series’ final game will be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on 12th October from 7 pm onwards.  TEAMS PREVIEW India Preview India executed a clinical run chase in the first T20I and delivered an equally impressive performance while defending. Nitish Reddy and Rinku Singh shone with the bat, while the bowlers put together a solid team effort to restrict Bangladesh to a modest total in response. They will keep the same team to win the series by 3-0. Sanju Samson will open the innings with Abhishek Sharma. The duo failed to impress in the second T20I. Bangladesh Preview It looks like Bangladesh has no answers when it comes to the ever-evolving format of cricket. They now have five losses in the last six T20Is played. Parvez Hossain Emon will open the innings with Litton Das. Das has been their leading run-scorer for the last two years. He has 842 runs in 34 innings at a strike rate of 125 with five fifties. Against India, he has 188 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 145. Hopefully, he clicks in the last game.  Weather Conditions The weather will be hot and humid with no chance of rain. The temperatures will be between 24°C and 34°C. Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad is known for having a flat track, which tends to slow down as the game progresses. This means that the spinners would enjoy bowling here more than the pacers.  IND vs BAN Pitch Report The game will be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on 12th October from 7 pm onwards The venue has hosted 2 T20Is, 10 ODIs, and 6 Tests.  Toss: To Bowl In 2 T20Is, the team has successfully defended the target on both occasions.

India vs Australia Final Match Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds – Match Schedule and Venue Get to Know Who will win IND vs AUS World Cup 2023 Final match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, CBTFJSK Tips, Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage. MATCH: India vs Australia DATE: Nov 19, 2023TIME: 14:00 IST / 8:30 GMTVENUE: Narendra Modi Stadium – Ahmedabad, India TOURNAMENT: Cricket World Cup 2023 India vs Australia Betting Tips Virat Kohli is averaging 101.57 with a strike-rate of 90.68 across the competition and hit 117 runs from 113 balls in the win over New Zealand on Wednesday. The number three batter is well worth backing as India’s highest run scorer in the final. Mohammed Shami is the leading wicket taker in the 2023 Cricket World Cup in spite of only playing in six games. He has a strike-rate of 10.91 and he is our tip for India’s top wicket taker on Sunday. Only five other players have scored more than David Warner’s 528 runs during the tournament. At 37, this is expected to be his final Cricket World Cup appearance and he is our pick for Australia’s highest run scorer against India. Mitchell Starc took 3/34 against South Africa and has 233 wickets in this format across his career. He has gone wicketless only once in this campaign and we expect him to be Australia’s top wicket taker in this fixture. No other bowler has been able to dismiss as many batters as Mohammed Shami in the tournament and we recommend choosing him to take over 1.5 wickets in this final. India vs Australia Match Live Streaming TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs AUS ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Final Cricket World Cup 2023 The 2023 Cricket World Cup comes to a close on Sunday afternoon and evening as India and Australia play out the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. India have won all their matches in the tournament and beat New Zealand by 70 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Wednesday’s semi-final. Australia confirmed their place in Sunday’s game with a narrow 3 wicket win over South Africa at Eden Gardens on Thursday. Read on as we preview this final. The match gets underway in Ahmedabad at 14:00 local time. Most pundits expected India to be the strongest team in the competition but all have been surprised by just how strong and consistent they have been throughout the ten games so far. With top quality players across their side, they should have more than enough to win and lift the trophy. Australia looked to be heading out of the 2023 Cricket World Cup when they lost their opening two games but they have not looked back since and have also showed plenty of character when getting over the line in close matches. They will be competitive and will not be an easy opposition in the final. IND vs AUS Match Toss Prediction Three of the four group stage games at the Narendra Modi Stadium have been won by the team batting second during this 2023 Cricket World Cup. As a result, we expect both teams to choose to field first if they win the toss ahead of this match. In the past 2 years, India has played 55 ODI matches. They have a 70% win percentage with batting first and 71% with batting second. If we look at Australia’s past 2 years, they have played 38 ODI matches. They have a 63% win percentage by both batting or bowling first. IND vs AUS Pitch Report This should be a pitch which offers something to all bowlers and batting will not be easy at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. We expect a par score to be between 290-295. Ahmedabad Weather Report Humidity levels are expected to rise across this game with the temperature forecast to drop from the early 30s to the mid 20s. No rain is forecast across the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for India vs Australia, Final World Cup 2023

England vs Sri Lanka, ENG vs SL 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : England vs Sri Lanka 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 21, 2024𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 pm IST​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, United Kingdom, United Kingdom𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2024 Sri Lanka begin their Test tour of England at Old Trafford with the hosts without some of their biggest names. England vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. ENG vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis Although it is England as the hosts who will come into this Test and the series expecting to win convincingly, it is actually Sri Lanka who begins this match in fourth compared to their hosts seventh place in the World Test Championship! The tourists also come off the back of strong wins in this format earlier this year but they will be under no illusions that playing England in England is a very tough assignment. For the hosts, they have their eyes trained on the Ashes series down-under in 2025/26 and are rapidly trying to get experience into keeper-batter Jamie Smith and spinner Shoaib Bashir which could provide an opportunity for Sri Lanka. Equally, Ben Stokes’ injury will give vice-captain Ollie Pope the chance to lead the side but he has precious little experience of doing so in any format. TEAMS PREVIEW England Preview This England side does not like to look at things in a negative fashion so it will be interesting to see how they approach this opening Test of the series without their captain Ben Stokes and regular opener Zak Crawley. Indeed, it is less than 12 months since both Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson were both sharing the new ball for this side and the team which takes the field has a distinct lack of experience compared to recent years. Sri Lanka Preview This will be Sri Lanka’s first Test since they beat Bangladesh by 192 runs at the start of April to make it three victories in this format in a row. Indeed, all three of those wins have been by very comfortable margins which should mean there is a good level of confidence in the squad. That said, there have been changes in the backroom staff and former England coach Chris Silverwood is no longer with the side – instead the tourists will have former opener Sanath Jayasuriya as interim coach and he will have the local knowledge of former England Test batter Ian Bell to lean on. Weather Conditions The weather in Manchester is often joked about for being dreary, cold and wet, and according to the forecast, it could live up to its reputation at Old Trafford this week! Day one is expected to remain dry but it would be a surprise if there were no interruptions due to rain across the other four scheduled days of the Test. ENG vs SL Pitch Report Old Trafford is one of England’s historic Test venues and there is always strong backing for the home side. Even after turning the pitch by 90 degrees a few years ago, the pitch remains one of the quickest in the country. We expect spin to play a role in this match over the final two days of the game and batting should be easiest over the first two days.

Virat Kohli’s precise direct-hit ends Shahrukh Khan’s brilliant innings in RCB vs GT clash – India TV

Image Source : JIOCINEMA/X RCB vs GT IPL 2024 match in Bengaluru Royal Challengers Bengaluru displayed brilliant bowling and remarkable fielding efforts to bowl out Gujarat Titans on 147 in the ongoing IPL 2024 match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. Star batter Virat Kohli stole the limelight again as he produced a stellar direct hit to run out settled Shahrukh Khan. After losing the toss, Gujarat were forced to bat first and lost the top order in powerplay overs with just 19 runs on the scoreboard. But David Miller and Shahrukh Khan added 61 runs for the fourth wicket to put Gujarat on a track for a challenging total. Karn Sharma gave Bengaluru a breakthrough with Miller’s big wicket in the 12th over and then Virat Kohli showed his well-known fielding skills with a sensational throw to run out Shahrukh Khan in the 13th over. On-strike Rahul Tewatai defended Vijaykumar Vyshak’s delivery at a point where Kohli picked the ball and quickly directed it towards a non-striker end to dismiss Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh top-scored with 37 runs off 24 balls as Gujarat Titans managed to post a 147/10 total in 19.3 overs. Kohli also took an easy catch to dismiss in-form Sai Sudharshan on Cameron Green’s delivery. Vijaykumar Vyshak turned out a hero for the hosts with two wickets and two brilliant catches to deny Gujarat a 150-plus total.

"Don't Know Which Mathematical...": Hardik Pandya's Blunt Playoffs Reply To Sanjay Manjrekar

“Don’t Know Which Mathematical…”: Hardik Pandya’s Blunt Playoffs Reply To Sanjay Manjrekar

The Mumbai Indians remain the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 playoffs hunt, though only mathematically, as they secured a 7-wickt victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday. Hardik Pandya, the Mumbai Indians skipper who hasn’t tasted much success this season, refused to get into the IPL playoffs numbers when informed about the same by former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar at the post-match presentation ceremony. For Hardik, the only focus remains is putting as many wins under the belt in the remaining two matches, as possible and see where the fate takes him and his team. (IPL 2024 Points Table) Mumbai Indians produced a much-better all-round display against the Sunrisers, with Suryakumar Yadav stepping up with a match-wining knock of 102 off just 51 balls. Hardik also looked astute with his bowling as well as captaincy decisions as MI handed SRH their 3rd defeat in last 4 matches. But, despite the win, Hardik isn’t getting carried away as far as MI’s playoffs chances are concerned. “I don’t know which mathematical situation we’re talking about, but at the same time, you want to focus on playing good cricket,” Hardik said in the post-match presentation, replying to Manjrekar’s suggestion. “The way our batters batted, that was excellent. My bowling, I like to bowl in the right areas, I bowl according to the situation. Bowled in the right areas today and it worked. I was like Chawla had to bowl from the shorter side. He (Chawla) had to be accurate, the margin of errors have become smaller these days for the bowlers. “It’s unbelievable, the best past of SKY is that he puts the bowlers under pressure. It’s sheer confidence, his game has changed, is one of the best batters. He can change a game in a different way, lucky to have him (SKY) in our side,” Hardik further said in the presentation ceremony. For MI to finish among the top 4 sides in the IPL this season, they don’t just need to win their remaining 2 matches in the league campaign but also hope for a few other results to fall in their favour. Even margins of MI’s wins in the last two matches have to be huge in order for them to remain in realistic contention.

This will be the first time Hobart Hurricanes play in this year’s tournament whereas Sydney Sixers got off to a winning start against Melbourne Renegades at the SCG on Friday. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 19:15 local time. Hobart Hurricanes have brought together a very strong group of players ahead of this year’s tournament. However, they are up against a very strong side who have already got their first game out of the way. The Hurricanes will need to start well in this match to give themselves an opportunity to win. Sydney Sixers are a brilliant BBL side and they showed ability to get over the line in a close contest to get their season underway. Although they will be without Steve Smith in this game, they should have enough talent to make it two wins from two. HUR vs SIX Match Toss PredictionOnly 40% of teams fielding first have won games in T20 cricket at this venue. As a result, we predict that both captains will choose to bat first in this match. HUR vs SIX Pitch ReportWith short boundaries, we often see high scoring games in Launceston. That said, there is often some moisture in the wicket for the pace bowlers to also exploit. Launceston Weather ReportAlthough the forecast is for very humid conditions, it will not be warm in Tasmania on Monday evening.
