‘God has got a plan’: Virat Kohli sums up RCB’s rise from the ashes in IPL 2024 | Cricket News

Danijones03 mins

It won’t be wrong to call Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) the phoenix of IPL 2024, for the way they have literally risen from the ashes to script one of the most remarkable comebacks the league has ever seen. But there’s still unfinished business, which is why RCB icon Virat Kohli says “we gotta focus on the next one.” RCB qualified for the playoffs, finishing fourth on the points table after defeating five-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their do-or-die match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru last Saturday.That was their sixth consecutive win on the trot, after losing seven of their first eight matches in this edition, which is what makes their run special and iconic. No other team has ever done that after a similar horror start to the season. IPL 2024: Results | Points Table Kohli, with 708 runs to be the league’s top run-getter, has been one of the inspirational figures behind this comeback; but the batting legend doesn’t want to delve much into it as the team has the all-important Eliminator against Rajasthan Royals coming up. The losing team in that match exits the tournament, while the winners go on to play Qualifier 2 for a place in the final. Qualifier 1 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, with the winner moving into the final and the losing team taking on the winners of the Eliminator. “God’s got a plan,” Kohli could be heard saying on a video clip on social media, as he walks towards the dressing room.WATCH VIDEO “So you just need to be honest with what you are doing. I think we were pretty honest with our hard work and we got the rewards. I don’t want to say anything more than this. We gotta focus on the next one,” the former RCB captain added. Kohli has been with RCB since the inception of the league, which makes it his 17th season with the franchise. However, they are yet to win the title and will hope that this inspirational comeback continues for three more matches to end their wait.

Rajasthan Royals finish third after rain plays spoilsport in their IPL game against KKR | Cricket News

Danijones03 mins

NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals faced the consequences of their lackluster performance in the business end of the tournament, settling for a third spot on the points table as their final IPL league match against table-toppers Kolkata Knight Riders was abandoned due to rain in Guwahati on Sunday. The unfortunate outcome meant both Royals and KKR shared a point each and Sunrisers Hyderabad pipping the former for a second spot on a better Net Run Rate. The Royals’ inability to secure a victory in their last game proved costly as they will now have to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Eliminator.As It HappenedWhile KKR finished the league engagements on 20 points with nine wins and two more solitary points courtesy wash-outs, SRH (17 points) pipped RR (17 points) despite both teams have equal points. SRH finished with NRR of 0.414 compared to RR’s 0.273.KKR will play Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first Qualifier in Ahmedabad on Tuesday followed by the ‘Eliminator’ between RR and RCB in the same venue.Rajasthan Royals would blame themselves for getting into a nice little rut after an incredible run during the first half of the tournament when they had won eight out of their nine games.But their campaign lost a bit of steam towards the back end as they lost four games on trot and with no Jos Buttler for crunch games, facing a marauding RCB in a winner-takes-all match could be a very tough proposition.On the other hand, SRH, a team that redefined power-hitting with optimum use of ‘Impact Sub’, had one of their best chases on Sunday, albeit on a track that once again resembled a highway in terms of its placid quotient. The chase of 215 against a depleted Punjab Kings with five balls to spare also bolstered their NRR just when it was needed.(With inputs from PTI)

Last-over hero: Rinku Singh lauds Yash Dayal with Insta post after RCB vs CSK thriller

Last-over hero: Rinku Singh lauds Yash Dayal with Insta post after RCB vs CSK thriller

Danijones04 mins

KKR batter Rinku Singh lauded Yash Dayal’s last over heroics during RCB’s match against CSK at M Chinnaswamy, Bengaluru on May 18, Saturday. Dayal bowled a magnificent last over to defend 17 runs in the last over to help RCB qualify for the playoffs in the Indian Premier League 2024. CSK needed 35 to win from the last over of the match, but in case they scored anything above 18, they would have qualified for the playoffs. However, a brilliant final over from Dayal helped RCB win the match by 27 runs to become the 4th team to qualify for the playoffs. They became the first team in the history of the tournament to qualify for the playoffs after having a solitary win in their first 7 games. Rinku took to his Instagram to share Dayal’s winning-moment picture and captioned the post as, “God’s plan baby”. He was maligned by the experts and fans when he conceded 5 sixes against Rinku Singh during GT’s match against KKR in IPL 2023. When KKR needed 28 runs in the last over, Rinku slammed Dayal for 5 sixes on the trot and guided his team to an improbable win to become an overnight star. RCB vs CSK: Highlights | Scorecard DAYAL’S FULL-CIRCLE MOMENT Dayal, on the other hand, became that villain, who was criticised right, left and centre. But, RCB showed faith in him and bought him for Rs 5 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. Dayal scripted his redemption story in a must-win clash for RCB against CSK. His life came to a full circle, as cricket is known to give such moments where brave-hearted players get an opportunity to turn things around. It was a turn-around to remember for Dayal, who was hit for a 110-meter six from MS Dhoni on the very first delivery he bowled. DAYAL SCRIPTS HIS REDEMPTION As the equation came down to 11 needed off 5, Dayal kept his cool and forced a top-edge from MS Dhoni, who left the field fuming. From being at the receiving end of India’s emerging finisher, Rinku, to getting the better of arguably the world’s best finisher, Dhoni, this was Dayal’s redemption, his comeback. He gave away only 7 runs in the last over to help RCB do the unthinkable. IPL 2024 Full Coverage | IPL 2024 Points Table and Standings | 2024 IPL Full Schedule Impressed with Dayal’s performance, even the KKR franchise shared a special post for him and lauded him for his epic comeback. As Dayal defended 17 runs in the last over, RCB’s camp ecstatically celebrated their victory and their turning around as the likes of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis looked a bit emotional.

RR and KKR have already qualified for the playoffs but there is still plenty at stake, especially for RR. The Sanju Samson-led side has lost the last four games and there is a chance they might lose out on a top 2 finish if they suffer another defeat. RR thus need to ensure they beat KKR as it will secure their top 2 finish. If RR lose and SRH win their last game, RR will slip to third and will play the Eliminator. However, they would like to feature in Qualifier 1 as it will give them an extra shot at the final berth should they lose the Qualifier 1.  Meanwhile, KKR have been outstanding and will finish the league stage as table toppers for the first time in IPL history. They are confirmed of a top two finish and thus a berth in Qualifier 1.

The fixture gets underway at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad at 15:30 local time on May 19th. Although they would have been disappointed to not get on the field in Thursday’s abandonment without a ball bowled, Sunrisers should be refreshed and well rested ahead of this match. They have taken a positive approach throughout this campaign and we expect to see them get another win in this clash. With their elimination confirmed a long time ago, Punjab Kings have nothing to lose ahead of this final group stage game.

Virat Kohli in a zone where no bowler can trouble him: Mohammad Kaif | Cricket News

Danijones04 mins

NEW DELHI: Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has heaped praise on Virat Kohli, stating that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru opener has reached a state of focus where no bowling match-up can disturb him. Kohli has been in exceptional form in IPL 2024, displaying his prowess and determination.RCB are set to face Chennai Super Kings in their final league game in Bengaluru on Saturday.The hosts need to secure a victory with a decent margin to surpass their opponents and clinch the final playoff berth based on net run rate.Speaking on Star Sports, Kaif likened Kohli’s current form and mindset to that of a monk in deep meditation, undisturbed by external distractions.”When a hermit goes to the Himalayas, he is in a different zone when he is meditating. Nothing distracts him. Whether there is a loud noise, someone shouts or cries, it doesn’t make a difference. Virat Kohli has reached that zone,” Kaif said.“He is not seeing the scorecard and is just in his zone and concentrating. He knows the intent with which he needs to play no matter which bowler, whether it’s a fast bowler or a spinner, is in front of him. No matter which bowler comes, he has reached a zone where there is no match-up,” the former India batter added. Kohli is the highest run-getter in IPL 2024, amassing 661 runs at a strike rate of 155.16 in 13 games. Kaif emphasized that Kohli is driven by a desire to lead RCB to victory.“He has come just to dominate. He has come with the passion that he will only be satisfied once he makes his team win, and that has been seen from the second match. In the first match against Chennai, he got out when he pulled a Fizz (Mustafizur Rahman) slower bouncer and (Ajinkya) Rahane took the catch,” he observed.“From the second match against Punjab, he came determined. He was jumping down the track and hitting (Kagiso) Rabada and playing slog sweeps against spinners. You talk about the fourth or fifth gear but he has reached the 15th gear. No one will reach that level,” the cricketer-turned-commentator added.As RCB prepare for their crucial match against CSK, Kohli’s form and focus will be pivotal in determining the team’s chances of making it to the playoffs.

Back him as top batter for RCB. Mohammed Siraj has shown great form in last few games and the conditions will be favourable for him. He is a top choice for RCB best bowler.Ruturaj Gaikwad has also scored nearly 600 runs in the tournament and will be CSK’s best bet for leading run scorer. With 16 wickets, Tushar Deshpande has done well for CSK. In overcast conditions, Deshpande can pose serious challenge thus he is our pick for top wicket-taker for CSK.Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad have scored hundreds in the tournament while several other players from both teams have got close. There is a good possibility that a century can be scored in the match. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings 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. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 RCB will play CSK in the 68th match of the IPL 2024. The game will be played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and will start at 7:30 PM IST on May 18th. RCB and CSK will face off in a virtual knockout for the final place in IPL playoffs. RCB are placed sixth on the points table, with 12 points, however, if they beat CSK, they will reach 14 points, on par with CSK. The fourth qualifier will then be decided by the net run rate. For RCB to topple CSK in run rate, they need to beat CSK by 18 or more runs or ensure they chase the target inside 18.1 overs.  For CSK, the equation is pretty simple. The Gaikwad-led side just need a win to qualify for the playoffs. RCB have been in great form of late and they would certainly back themselves to get the better of CSK. However, the Yellow Army have been a stiff opposition to beat for RCB, who have lost 22 out of the 33 games against CSK.  Another massive aspect to consider is the weather. As per the weather forecast, there is a prediction of heavy rain on the match day and if the match gets washed out, CSK will qualify for the playoffs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Match Toss PredictionChinnaswamy Stadium is not an easy ground to defend. Also, with rain around, captains will prefer to bowl. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Pitch ReportThe wicket at the Chinnaswamy Stadium will be good for batting, however, there is some rain around and the overcast conditions can help the fast bowlers get some swing and movement, making it a bit more challenging for the batters. Bengaluru Weather ReportThe weather is not very promising as there is over 80 per cent chance of rain on the match day. The IMD has issued an Orange Alert for Bengaluru on May 18.
