Varun Chakravarthy has taken three wickets from his last two appearances at Eden Gardens and he is a strong choice for KKR’s top wicket taker in this game.Virat Kohli is the leading run scorer in the tournament and is averaging 72.20 from seven innings. He is well worth backing as RCB’s highest run scorer against KKR. Lockie Ferguson came into the team for the last fixture and took two wickets. He is our pick for RCB’s top wicket taker in this match.No batter has been as consistent as Virat Kohli so far in the 2024 IPL so we recommend backing him to hit the most fours in this clash.

KKR have won four of their six fixtures so far and are in second place with RCB down at the bottom of the table. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 15:30 local time in Kolkata on April 21st. Although KKR have suffered recent defeats, they have been against the early pace setters Rajasthan Royals and last year’s Champions Chennai Super Kings. They have had an impressive start to the tournament and we expect them to be able to win this clash against the bottom of the table side. RCB have no teams below them in the league at the moment and confidence is particularly low in their bowling unit as seen by all of their bowlers recording economy rates of 10.66 – 18.00 in their last match. In spite of their strong batters, we are not anticipating an RCB win in Kolkata. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Toss PredictionAlmost 60% of the IPL matches at Eden Gardens have been won by the team chasing so we are predicting that both sides will want to field first in this clash. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Pitch ReportThis certainly looks like being another good batting wicket in this year’s IPL and the surface at Eden Gardens delivered 447 runs in the last game! The pace bowlers are likely to be expensive unless they can produce some high level variations. Batters will find the bounce to be true and whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of at least 215 to be competitive. Kolkata Weather ReportThis is going to be played under very hot conditions on Sunday afternoon with the temperature likely to be in the high thirties throughout. There will be a light breeze and no rain is forecast.

NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja pulled off a miraculous one-handed stunner to send Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul packing for 82 in Lucknow in Indian Premier League match on Friday.Often regarded as a live wire on the field and one of the greatest fielders of his time, Jadeja showcased sensational hand-eye co-ordination to pluck a blinder out of thin air.The incident took place on the first ball of the 18th over when Matheesha Pathirana threw a back of length delivery wide outside off. As Rahul saw room, he threw his bat at it middled. The ball flew straight to backward-point, close to where Jadeja was positioned. As the ball travelled to him in a blink of an eye, Jadeja leaped to his left, putting out his hand and the ball just stuck. Seeing the superhuman effort, a stunned CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad could only manage to put his hand on the mouth. “Ohh! What a catch. Is that the catch of the IPL? Wow! That (ball) was flying like a tracer bullet and he has just plucked it out of thin air as if its nothing,” said a highly excited Ravi Shastri on-air. Despite Jadeja blinder that ended Rahul’s knock, his 53-ball 82 powered Lucknow to a solid eight-wicket win over CSK.Chasing a tricky 177, Rahul and Quinton de Kock (54) smashed superb fifties as LSG crossed the finish line with 6 balls to spare. With the comfortable victory, Lucknow returned to winning ways after suffering two back-to-back defeats.

Read on as we preview this clash which gets underway at 19:30 local time at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on April 20th. Coming into this game after back to back wins, Delhi Capitals will be confident of making it three in a row and there is a youthful freshness to the side. However, they will be up against one of the best batting line-ups in the tournament in this game and it will be a very tough contest. Sunrisers Hyderabad have assembled a side full of aggressive batters and due to the impact player option, they are able to pack their line-up with big hitters. Although they have lost two matches so far, they will travel to Delhi full of confidence after posting a record-breaking 287/3 in their last game.

One of the reasons why we are backing Rahul is that he can be very handy against CSK spinners in the middle overs and play through the innings. Shamar Joseph had a bad debut against DC and will be eyeing a strong return. He has pace and variations to trouble CSK so he is our pick for top bowler.For CSK, Shivam Dube has been on a six hitting spree. He has already hit 15 sixes this season. Back him to hit more than 1.5 sixes in the match. Matheesha Pathirana is fresh from a four wicket haul against MI. Pathirana is a good pick for CSK top bowler.The wicket in Lucknow has been slow and scoring boundaries has been tough. The total fours in the match should be less than 30.5 while total sixes should be over 12.5.

The game will be played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow and will start at 7:30 PM IST on April 19. Lucknow Super Giants have lost the previous two games which makes the coming game against CSK very important. LSG haven’t been at their best so far. While teams have managed to score 200+ score consistently this season, LSG have mostly scored around the 160 run mark. Not sure that would be enough against CSK.  The concern for LSG has been their batting as barring Nicholas Pooran, others have been ordinary, including KL Rahul. The bowlers though have done well. Meanwhile, CSK picked up a thrilling win over MI at the Wankhede Stadium. The team is placed third on the points table with four wins and two defeats. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s return to  form is a great news for the team while Shivam Dube has been mighty consistent. MS Dhoni has also turned back the clock and struck lusty blows in final overs. However, lack of runs from Rachin Ravindra is a concern. The bowling from CSK has been top notch and the conditions in Lucknow will suit the visitors.      Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings Match Toss PredictionEkana Stadium is not a very easy ground to chase and most captains have preferred to bat here and post a score of around 170-180. Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings Pitch ReportThe pitch at the Ekana Stadium is slightly on the slower side. The ball does not come on nicely and batters often struggle for timing. A score of around 170-180 is slightly above par here. Lucknow Weather ReportThe temperature will range between 41 and 26 degrees. The humidity will be 27 per cent and the wind speed will be 27 kmph.

MS Dhoni mania takes over South Africa: Dale Steyn wants CSK star to keep playing IPL

Danijones04 mins

Former South Africa pace bowler Dale Steyn suggests that the fervor surrounding MS Dhoni extends beyond the Indian Premier League (IPL), surpassing the cricketing landscape of South Africa and captivating enthusiasts like himself. Steyn is in awe of Dhoni’s batting and said that watching the former CSK captain out in the field lifts his mood. Notably, Dhoni continues to be a crowd-favorite in the Indian Premier League, and at 42, he is still turning back the clock to demonstrate his six-hitting skills. Dhoni’s job has altered this season because he is no longer captain, but on the pitch, he remains the one who controls the game for the Super Kings. The legendary skipper has decided to bat lower down the order to give young players an opportunity as the franchise enters a transitional period. Despite this, Dhoni has still managed to make an impression with the bat this season. However, the speculations are rife that the ongoing season will be Dhoni’s last in the IPL as he also handed over the captaincy charge to Ruturaj Gaikwad this year. Steyn also said that he wants MS Dhoni to continue playing the Indian Premier League. IPL 2024 Full Coverage | IPL 2024 Points Table and Standings | 2024 IPL Full Schedule “Not only has it engulfed the IPL. That’s engulfed many South Africa and myself, to be honest with you, I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I seem to be glued to the seat when the IPL is on my girlfriend says that my TV is broken, it’s stuck on cricket right now IPL and watching MS the other night. That’s exactly what we want to do. You know, I’ve been on the receiving end of it before. I’ve watched it from a fan’s point of view, I loved it. I mean, I am a much better mood because of what I’ve just seen. So can we get more of MS Dhoni out in the middle? That would be great,” Dale Steyn said while speaking on Star Sports ahead of the MI vs PBKS match. Dhoni’s biggest issue this year has been his struggle with a knee ailment. The renowned wicketkeeper-batsman has been observed limping on multiple occasions this season, and he also had knee surgery following last season’s IPL. Recently, CSK bowling consultant Eric Simmons confessed Dhoni has been fighting with his knee ailment, but he has battled it heroically and without displaying any pain.

Danijones03 mins

NEW DELHI: Javagal Srinath, former Indian cricketer and current match referee for the Indian Premier League (IPL), has hailed the introduction of the innovative ‘Smart Replay System‘ as a game-changer, emphasizing its significant impact on speeding up match proceedings.“Literally we are saving 8-9 minutes per innings. Which is sometimes almost 20 minutes per game,” Srinath remarked, highlighting the efficiency brought about by the new technology.IPL 2024: POINTS TABLE | ORANGE CAP | PURPLE CAPOne of the key issues the system addresses is the contentious decision-making around waist-height full tosses.Srinath explained how the Smart Replay System has provided a solution to this long-standing challenge, enhancing both speed and accuracy in umpiring decisions.Contrary to concerns about technology overshadowing umpires, umpire Nitin Menon emphasized that the system does not render umpires redundant. “Technology is not stopping the umpires from making decisions. They still have to make the decisions,” Menon affirmed, underlining the continued importance of umpires in the decision-making process.WATCH: The Smart Replay System, implemented in the ongoing IPL season, operates by providing TV umpires with direct inputs from two operators of the Hawk-Eye system. These operators, stationed in the same room as the TV umpire, utilize images captured from eight high-speed cameras strategically positioned around the ground.One notable change brought about by the new system is the elimination of the TV broadcast director’s role as a mediator between the umpire and the Hawk-Eye operators. Instead, the TV umpire now directly interacts with the operators, streamlining the decision-making process.Furthermore, the Smart Replay System allows the TV umpire to analyze a wider range of visuals, including split-screen images. Live broadcasts of the TV umpire’s interactions with the Hawk-Eye operators provide viewers with transparent insights into the decision-making process.The enhanced system enables umpires to make more informed decisions, particularly in scenarios such as judging catches near boundary ropes, determining caught behind, leg-before, stumping, or low catches taken inches off the turf. With clearer visuals from multiple angles, the Smart Replay System promises to elevate the standard of umpiring in the IPL and beyond.(With inputs from PTI)

IPL 2024, KKR vs RR: Shreyas Iyer fined Rs 12 lakh for over-rate offence

Danijones04 mins

The IPL organisers fined Kolkata captain Shreyas Iyer Rs 12 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during their last-ball thriller against Rajasthan at Eden Gardens on Tuesday. Iyer has copped the penalty for the team’s first over-rate offence of the IPL 2024 season. “As it was his team’s first offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to a minimum over-rate offences, Iyer was fined Rs 12 lakhs,” the IPL said in a release. The IPL 2024 match between KKR and RR ended at around 11:35 pm, well past the scheduled finish time. The hot and humid conditions in Kolkata on Tuesday evening did not make it easy and both teams took time because of the thrilling nature of RR’s chase. Jos Buttler battled cramps to hit a match-winning hundred, which is being dubbed as one of the greatest in IPL history. It was not easy for Shreyas Iyer to marshal his troops as Jos Buttler’s threat remained even as the England opener did not fire from the word go. However, Buttler switched to 6th gear in the end overs, single-handedly helping RR chase down 48 runs in the last 3 overs. Buttler remained unbeaten on 107 off 60 balls as RR equalled their own record for the highest-successful chase in IPL history, gunning down 224. IPL 2024 Full Coverage | IPL 2024 Points Table and Standings | 2024 IPL Full Schedule Sunil Narine’s maiden IPL hundred and his heroics with the ball went in vain for the Knight Riders, who missed out on an opportunity to top the IPL 2024 points table. WHAT IS THE OPTIMUM OVER RATE? “The minimum over rate to be achieved in IPL Matches shall be 14 overs per hour (ignoring the time taken by time-outs). In uninterrupted matches, this means that the 20th over should finish within 90 minutes (being 85 minutes of playing time plus 5 minutes of time-out) of the start of the innings. For delayed or interrupted matches where an innings is scheduled to be less than 20 overs, the maximum time of 90 minutes shall be reduced by 4 minutes 15 seconds for every over by which the innings is reduced,” according to the rulebook of the IPL. Notably, Delhi captain Rishabh Pant was fined Rs 24 lakh earlier in the month for two successive over-rate offences. The rest of his teammates were also fined 25 percent of their match fee. Pant is in danger of facing a one-match ban as captains are penalised with a ban for a 3rd over-rate offence in a season. Published By: Akshay Ramesh Published On: Apr 17, 2024 Tune In
