MS Dhoni: ‘You can go out and express…’: Gautam Gambhir praises CSK’s strategy empowering MS Dhoni’s impact in IPL 2024 | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Former India cricketer and current Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir lauded the strategic brilliance of Chennai Super Kings in harnessing the unparalleled prowess of MS Dhoni in the Indian Premier League 2024. Gambhir emphasized that CSK’s tactical approach, particularly in assigning Dhoni the finisher’s role with just 8-10 balls, has unleashed the legendary cricketer’s potential to make an immediate impact on the game.“It is a strategy of CSK (Dhoni facing just 8-10 balls) and that has given Dhoni the freedom. Different teams have different strategies and CSK has done this for the past 2-3 years. The freedom has allowed Dhoni to have an impact. When you play 20-25 balls you have that responsibility to consolidate, but when it’s just 8-10 balls you can go out there and express yourself with freedom,” expressed Gambhir in an interaction with Sportskeeda.Highlighting Dhoni’s phenomenal performance in the ongoing IPL season, Gambhir underscored the leadership similarities between Dhoni and himself during their IPL rivalry. “I feel insecurity is the biggest reason for a player’s failure. It’s not about ability. If you don’t have the ability you won’t reach the first-class, IPL, or international level in the first place. So it is important to have a secure dressing room. A secure dressing room is a happy dressing room and it eventually becomes a winning dressing room,” Gambhir remarked, reflecting on the conducive environment for players’ success. Dhoni’s batting prowess in the IPL 2024 has been nothing short of remarkable, with the veteran cricketer showcasing his unmatched skills as a finisher. Dhoni stands on the cusp of reaching a significant milestone of 250 sixes in the IPL. With a staggering strike rate of 229.16 in ten games, Dhoni’s impact on CSK’s fortunes has been undeniable.Despite a minor setback against Punjab Kings, where Dhoni (14 off 11) was run out off the final ball of the innings – his first dismissal in the season, his significance in guiding CSK through tense situations remains undiminished.

‘See the ball and hit the ball’: Rilee Rossouw reveals success mantra vs Chennai Super Kings | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Key innings from Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw secured a comfortable seven-wicket victory for Punjab Kings against defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the IPL on Wednesday.Chasing a target of 163, Punjab Kings rode on Bairstow’s 46 and Rossouw’s 43 to reach the target with 13 balls to spare at Chennai’s M Chidambaram Stadium.England’s Bairstow continued his strong form from the previous match, where he scored an unbeaten 108 as Punjab chased down a record IPL target of 262 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens.Bairstow and Rossouw, a left-handed South African batsman, stitched a 64-run stand for the second wicket to set up the successful chase.After the Punjab Kings’ win, Rossouw revealed plans he set with Bairstow against the Yellow Brigade.“Got to give credit to the bowlers, 160 on this wicket was chaseable. The way Jonny played today, hopefully, he takes this form forward and gives us the foundation to chase it down,” Rossouw said after the match.“[On plans when he was out there with Bairstow] See the ball and hit the ball, nothing really spoken about as to how many we need, just keeping it simple. [on his dismissal] Unfortunate. It was one of those things, so focussed on hitting the ball and one of those things, I missed out. It’s never over, till it’s over, we have still got the belief in the changeroom, we will focus on our game and not on the others. Hopefully things work out,” Rossouw added.Five-time winners CSK, who have won five and lost five matches in the tournament so far, are fourth in the 10-team table, led by Rajasthan Royals.Punjab Kings are now in seventh place in the points table. With 4 wins in 10 matches, Punjab Kings have 8 points to their name.

A win thrustedΒ Punjab Kings to seventh position in the points table with four wins in ten games boosting their chances to secure a playoff qualification. Chennai Super Kings’ inconsistent form continued with their fifth defeat in ten games but the defending champions maintain their fourth place in the standings. After winning the toss, the stand-in skipper Sam Curran elected to bowl first with the same playing eleven. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s CSK were forced to make two major changes with Richard Gleeson and Shadul Thakur coming in for unavailable Matheesha Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande. Openers Ajinkya Rahane and Ruturaj Gaikwad gave Chennai a strong start by scorching 64 runs for the first wicket. But Punjab Kings made a stunning comeback in the middle overs with spinner Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar taking two wickets each. Gaikwad continued his red-hot form by top-scoring with 62 runs off 48 balls and also went past Virat Kohli to claim the Orange Cap this season. Gaikwad didn’t get much support from the other end as Punjab bowlers restricted Chennai to a decent total of 162/7 in 20 overs.

T Natarajan has a bowling strike-rate of 12.92 in this campaign and the left-arm pacer is our pick for Sunrisers Hyderabad’s top wicket taker against Rajasthan Royals.Sanju Samson has hit four half-centuries for Rajasthan Royals already this season and the skipper is our tip for their highest run scorer against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Although he went wicketless in the win over Lucknow Super Giants last time out, we are backing Yuzvendra Chahal, with 13 dismissals in the competition this year, to be Rajasthan’s top wicket taker in this game.Although there are some big hitters in both line-ups, Sanju Samson is in excellent form and we recommend selecting him to hit the most boundaries in this fixture.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Rajasthan Royals in what will be the 50th game of the 2024 Indian Premier League. Although they have lost their last two games, Sunrisers are still in a strong position after five wins but Rajasthan Royals are way out ahead at the top of the table on 16 points. Read on as we preview this match. The fixture gets underway at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad at 19:30 local time on Thursday 2nd May. Defeats against Chennai Super Kings in Match 46 and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 41 have seen Sunrisers Hyderabad drop down the table from a very strong position. However, we can still expect them to play an attacking brand of cricket which is likely to cause Rajasthan Royals plenty of problems. Rajasthan Royals cruised home with an over to spare in their last game and they will arrive in Hyderabad with still only one defeat so far in this IPL. They will not be scared of Sunrisers’ aggressive batting line-up and will back themselves to record another victory. SRH vs RR Match Toss PredictionWith over 55% of IPL games at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium won by the team chasing, we are predicting that both captains will want to field first ahead of this match. SRH vs RR Pitch ReportSpinners could be effective on this pitch but most are likely to be used defensively and to be asked to keep the run-rate down. It could be tough to bowl with the new ball on this surface with the ball likely to come onto the bat with good pace and we expect a par total of over 200 for the side batting first. Hyderabad Weather ReportAccording to the weather forecast there will be clear skies throughout this contest on Thursday evening. Low humidity is predicted although the temperature will be in the mid-high thirties from start to finish in Hyderabad.

Hardik Pandya blames top-order collapse for defeat against Lucknow Super Giants | Cricket News

Hardik Pandya blames top-order collapse for defeat against Lucknow Super Giants | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: As Mumbai Indians succumbed to their seventh defeat of the season, this time against Lucknow Super Giants, skipper Hardik Pandya said loss of early wickets led to their down fall at the Ekana. After being put in to bat by KL Rahul, MI found themselves tottering at 28 for four after powerplay with pacers Mohsin Khan, Marcus Stoinis and Naveen-ul-Haq doing the early damage. Rohit Sharma (4), Suryakumar Yadav (10), Tilak Varma (7) and Hardik (0) all fell cheaply as Ishan Kishan (32) and Nehal Wadhera (46) and Tim David (35) somehow took them to a par total.Hardik said loss of wickets in a cluster in powerplay hurt them badly and they were never able to fully recover from that. “Definitely, losing early wickets in the powerplay is tough to recover from. Where we needed the most, we could not do well,” Hardik said in the post-match presentation. On being asked if high scores this season have put more pressure on the batters early, Hardik said, “Not really, you still have to see the ball and hit. The wicket was good. The ball was there to be hit and we just missed, that sort of season for us so far. I have always believed that whenever you take to the field, sometimes you will be down, sometimes you will be up, and you have to fight. It looks difficult but there are a lot of things you can learn from this game.”Amid MI’s freefall against LSG, Wadhera stood out, notching up a solid 41-ball 46 and Hardik was quick in praising the responsible effort from the youngster. “He has been fantastic, the way he batted against Rajasthan and tonight. He did fantastic last year as well. It was because of the team combination that he could not play early. Looking at his talent, he will play for a lot of years for Mumbai and for India eventually,” Hardik added. With 7 losses in 10 matches, MI are at the ninth spot. A victory on the other hand, lifted Lucknow to third spot.

He is a good choice for CSK top bowler.Jonny Bairstow made a scintillating return to form and scored a brilliant century against KKR.

The win was CSK’s fifth in nine games as they moved to third on the IPL points table. CSK now only need three wins in remaining five games to qualify. CSK have been dominant at home thus they would eye an easy win against PBKS and get close to the playoff berth. Meanwhile, PBKS created history after they chased 262 in the previous game against KKR, courtesy of a Jonny Bairstow century. PBKS has three wins in nine matches thus they need to win all their remaining five games to qualify for the playoffs. Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings Match Toss PredictionThe captains have preferred to bowl given the dew factor but if a team puts big runs on board, it is not each to chase at Chepauk. Still, we feel captain winning the toss should chase. Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings Pitch ReportThe surface at Chepauk has played better this season. The runs have not been hard to come by; however, spinners have got some grip and turn. Also, bowling in line of the stumps has got batters into trouble. A score of 180-200 is par here. Chennai Weather ReportIt will be a hot evening, with temperature hovering around 30 degrees. Dew could play a role and thus team batting second will have an advantage but that does not guarantee a win.

We are backing him as top wicket-taker for LSG.Suryakumar Yadav has looked the most assured batter for MI. He has scored a couple of fiery fifties for the team. Surya is one of the best players in this format of the game and in a must win game, MI need him to fire. Back him as top MI batter.

The game begins in Kolkata at 19:30 local time on Monday 29th April. KKR thought they were home and dry after posting 261/6 batting first against Punjab Kings on Friday but the pitch seemed to get easier to bat on as the match progressed and they lost with 8 balls remaining. We can expect an even more aggressive batting approach in this game as a result. Delhi Capitals are certainly the most improved side in the tournament and they have completely turned their season around from the point when they had only one win from the first five matches! They will arrive in Kolkata full of confidence but this will be a very tough clash.

Mumbai Indians lost Rohit Sharma (8) early with the score at 35. Ishan Kishan (20) also fell with MI score at 45 in 4.1 overs. All the hopes fell on the shoulders of Suryakumar Yadav (26 off 13 balls) who thrashed three boundaries and 2 sixes. But with the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav, Mumbai Indians relied on its captain Hardik Pandya. Pandya (46) scored some scintillating shots and took his team to 136 in 12.3 overs. Nehal Wadhera (4) fell early and Mumbai Indains were in some sort of trouble. But Tim David (37) and Tilak Verma (63) played brilliantly and they nearly took Mumbai Indians home but fell short by 10 runs. Mohammad Nabi and Piyush Chawla played some useful knocks towards the end of the innings. Rasikh Salam bowled brilliantly and took 3 for 34 Khaleel Ahmed (2 for 45) and Mukesh Kumar (3 for 59 ) were among the wicket-takers though expensive. Earlier, after sent into bat, Delhi Capitals went on a run-spree scoring a dauting score of 257 in 20 overs. Jake Fraser-McGurk (84 off just 27 balls) and Abishek Porel (36) started on a brisk note to put on 114 runs in just 7.3 overs. McGurk was particularly severe right from the first ball of the innings and scored at will despatching the bowlers to all around the Arun Jaitley stadium. He hit 11 fours and 6 sixes in his innings. Porel played second fiddle to McGurk. With the quick wickets of McGurk and Porel at 127 in 9.4 overs, it was Shai Hope (41 off 17 balls) and captain Rishabh Pant (29) scored briskly and added 53 runs in just 4 overs.

Spinner Karn Sharma took 2/29 in the last game and he is our pick for RCB’s top wicket taker on Sunday.With only one score under 30 so far in the tournament, we recommend selecting Sai Sudharsan to hit over 31.5 runs in this game. Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 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. Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Gujarat Titans take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 45 of the 2024 Indian Premier League at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Titans begin this game on eight points, four points ahead of RCB who are currently at the bottom of the table. Read on as we preview this fixture. This match gets underway in Ahmedabad at 15:30 local time on Sunday 28th April. Gujarat Titans have been one of the most inconsistent sides in this year’s IPL so far and they lost a very tight contest against Delhi Capitals in their last match. However, they have plenty of batting depth and they will fancy their chances against RCB at home. After a miserable losing run, RCB finally got back to winning ways when they beat a very strong Sunrisers Hyderabad side on Thursday. There certainly seems to have been a turnaround in form after they narrowly lost their previous match but they will now need to make it three strong performances in a row to be competitive. GT vs RCB Match Toss PredictionWith 17 of the 31 IPL fixtures at the Narendra Modi Stadium won by the team fielding first, we predict that both captains will walk out to the toss planning to bowl first if they win the toss. GT vs RCB Pitch ReportAlthough we saw only 181 runs and 14 wickets fall on this pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the last game, it is not a bad batting surface. A par score is at least 180 and there is not a huge amount of spin for the slow bowlers to work with so they may be used as a defensive option on this pitch. Ahmedabad Weather ReportThe weather forecast is for clear skies throughout this contest on Sunday afternoon with the temperature likely to be over 35 degrees from start to finish. Low humidity levels and no rain are expected. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Indian Premier League 2024
