NEW DELHI: Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers praised India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batsman Virat Kohli, calling him one of the greatest players in history.In IPL 2024, Kohli is the second-highest run scorer. He played in ten matches and amassed 500 runs at a strike rate of 147.49. In the current T20 tournament, he hit 20 sixes and 46 fours.IPL ORANGE CAP | IPL PURPLE CAP | IPL POINTS TABLEWhile speaking on his official YouTube channel, De Villiers said he is fed up with seeing “data-driven pundits” criticizing Kohli’s strike rate.The legendary Indian batsman was praised by the former Proteas cricket player, who called him “incredible” at the IPL.“Virat Kohli, catching criticism about his strike rate. It’s been going on for way too long and I am sort of fed up with that now. I’m frustrated to say the least. This guy is one of the best players to ever play the game of cricket. He’s incredible in the IPL, he plays a certain role for RCB, and I’ve pretty much had enough of data-driven pundits who keep criticising this man. When you don’t really have knowledge of the game. How many games of cricket have you played, how many IPL hundreds have you scored?,” De Villiers said.In the last game between RCB and GT, Kohli made an impression with his blistering 70*. He was a major factor in Bengaluru’s victory and dismissed the recent discussion regarding his strike rate.During the game, ‘chase master’ Virat Kohli achieved a landmark feat during RCB’s clash against GT.Kohli now stands second in the list after his undefeated performance of 70 runs off 44 balls, struck at a strike rate of 159.09. Kohli achieved 24 half-centuries when chasing a target. Dhawan, with 23 scores of fifty or above, is in third position.

‘When I met him…’: Shubman Gill recalls his first meeting with Virat Kohli – Watch

Danijones03 mins

NEW DELHI: If Virat Kohli is called the ‘King’ then Shubman Gill is referred to as the ‘Prince’ of Indian cricket.Gill has been earmarked to succeed Kohli as the batting mainstay of Team India and he himself has gone on record to looking up to Kohli and getting inspiration from the former Indian captain.But Gill and Kohli would be on the opposite sides when Gujarat Titans take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday and ahead of the match, the host broadcaster shared a video where Gill talks about his first meeting with Kohli.Gill says, “When I spoke to him for the first time when I went to New Zealand, there he told me every time a new kid comes, people say he needs a couple of chances, he needs some innings to get through but I think if you are good and capable then you can start from your first innings, you can score a 100 in your first innings. And you come to know how one looks at life.”“So I came to know what kind of a person he is and I really liked it. So what he told me was that if you a new kid comes on the block, in the Indian team, all say that he should get some chances, he should get some innings, he will get set after that only. But he said that he saw that capability in me and you have to give it your 100% , rest we will see what happens,” Gill adds. With 4 wins and 5 defeats, Gujarat Titans are at the seventh spot in the points table while RCB are at the bottom.

Sandeep Warrier stood out with the ball in their last game with 3/15 and he is our pick for Gujarat Titans’ top wicket taker in this clash.There was another half-century for Virat Kohli in Thursday’s victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad and the opener is our tip for RCB’s highest run scorer against Gujarat Titans. 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 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

Pat Cummins' favourite memory of Virat Kohli won't make Indian fans happy | Cricket News

Pat Cummins’ favourite memory of Virat Kohli won’t make Indian fans happy | Cricket News

Danijones04 mins

Virat Kohli and Pat Cummins will face off once again in IPL 2024 on Thursday when Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, and while the camaraderie between two champion cricketers was evident during a joint training session, Cummins didn’t miss a chance to be a little cheeky when he was asked about his favourite memory of Kohli. IPL 2024: Results | Points Table In the ‘Captains Speak’ segment of a Star Sports show, Cummins, who also led Australia to the 2023 ODI World Cup triumph, was asked a few questions about Kohli as the two gear up for another match-up. “Someone who has played so much cricket, I admire him for how much he gets up for every game and gets into the contest, whether he is batting or in the field. He plays 100 days a year and he’s up for every single of those games,” Cummins said. Interestingly, Kohli was bowled by Cummins for 54 in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, which proved to be one of the game-changing moments of the title clash that Australia went on to win by six wickets. It was Australia’s record-extending sixth ODI World Cup triumph. WATCH VIDEO Possibly with that dismissal at the back of his mind, Cummins chose to be cheeky in his reply to another question.“My favourite memory of Virat? Can I say when I get him out?,” he said, and followed it up with a smile.ALSO READ: How to watch IPL in Canada In RCB’s earlier match against the Sunrisers in this IPL season, Kohli scored 42. The game saw SRH scoring IPL’s highest ever total as they put up a gigantic 287 for 3 on the board. RCB made a match of it in run-chase but ended up short (262 for 7) and lost by 25 runs. Kohli currently leads the Orange Cap standings with his tally of 379 runs in 8 matches, including one hundred and two fifties. He averages 63.16 and has scored his runs at a strike rate of 150.39. Cummins added that while both he and Kohli are competitive on the field, they are fairly relaxed off it.“We are both super competitive. I think off the field Virat is pretty relaxed and I am (also) pretty relaxed off the field,” said the SRH skipper.

T Natarajan took 4/19 against Delhi Capitals and the left-arm pacer is a strong choice for Sunrisers Hyderabad’s top wicket taker on Thursday.Although he made only 18 in the last game, Virat Kolhi is having an excellent 2024 IPL and he is our pick for RCB’s highest run scorer against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Lockie Ferguson is yet to go wicketless in the tournament and the New Zealander is well worth selecting as RCB’s top wicket taker in this match.With scores of 89, 102, 21 and 31 from his last four innings, we recommend backing Travis Head to hit over 31.5 runs in this match. Sunrisers Hyderabad 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. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 41 of the 2024 Indian Premier League on Thursday evening. The hosts have won five of their seven matches whereas RCB are bottom of the table with only one victory from eight. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 19:30 local time at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad. Sunrisers Hyderabad have been the destructive batting force of this year’s IPL and even though they did not break their IPL team total record for the third time this season, in their last match they hit the largest ever T20 powerplay score. Against a struggling RCB, we expect them to dominate again. RCB very nearly came out on top in their last match but with the side low on confidence, they were unable to get over the line and ended up losing in spite of needing only three runs from two balls at the end. There were positive signs but this is going to be a very tough match. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Toss PredictionAlthough Sunrisers have won fielding first as well as batting first at this venue this season, teams batting second have a win ratio of over 56% in Uppal. Our prediction is that both sides will choose to field first ahead of this match. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Pitch ReportSlow bowlers have been the main ones who have been able to keep their economy records down on this pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium so far this season and we expect pace bowlers to leak runs once more in this game. A par score is likely to be over 200 with the openers on both sides having the best of the batting conditions with the fielding restrictions during the powerplay. Hyderabad Weather ReportAlthough there will be some cloudy spells, it is going to be a very hot evening in Uppal with the temperature over 30 degrees from start to finish. No rain is forecast with humidity levels no higher than 30%.

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.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Match 36 of the 2024 Indian Premier League sees Kolkata Knight Riders go head to head with Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday afternoon at Eden Gardens. 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.

‘Please stop wearing that shirt immediately’: AB de Villiers asks RCB’s ‘bad omen’ | Cricket News

Danijones03 mins

NEW DELHI: Former South African and Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricketer AB de Villiers has requested former New Zealand and Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Scott Styris to stop wearing the RCB jersey. The Bengaluru-based franchise has been struggling in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, with only two points from seven games, placing them at the bottom of the table. Styris, who has been seen sporting the RCB jersey on match days, is now considered a bad omen for the team. In response to Styris’ post, De Villiers commented, “Please stop wearing that shirt immediately!!!!” Styris, however, has thrown down the gauntlet to De Villiers, declaring that he will stop wearing the RCB shirt for the team’s upcoming matches if the South African legend agrees to wear a Chennai Super Kings shirt once. The former New Zealand all-rounder stated, “I said I would wear the shirt. It has been a bad omen. I am a bad mascot for RCB, which is pleasing from my perspective. So I am prepared to put out a challenge back to AB de Villiers because he says it’s time for me to stop wearing the shirt. I will stop wearing the shirt for RCB matches moving forward if De Villiers wears the CSK shirt once. He is coming back for The Insiders (Jio Cinema’s programme) for the last week of the playoffs.” Former England captain Eoin Morgan, who was part of the show, agreed with Styris that the counter-challenge to De Villiers was ‘fair’.RCB’s latest setback came against Sunrisers Hyderabad, who set a new IPL record for the highest total, amassing 287-3 on Monday. The match also witnessed the highest aggregate for a T20 game, with a combined total of 549 runs. ALSO SEE: IPL 2024 POINTS TABLEDespite valiant efforts from Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Dinesh Karthik, RCB fell short by 25 runs, resulting in their sixth defeat of the season.

IPL-17: RCB vs SRH | Headaches a plenty for Royal Challengers as it hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad

Danijones04 mins

Royal Challengers Bengaluru players celebrate a wicket during an IPL match. Their bowlers will be under as the team faces Sunrisers Hyderabad in Bengaluru on April 15. | Photo Credit: Emmanual Yogini Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Faf du Plessis has nowhere to turn. His bowlers concede runs aplenty, and his batters have failed to get going. When RCB takes on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 15, only an exceptional individual performance can save the home team from a fifth straight loss. RCB’s primary concern is the bowling unit, which in the opinion of du Plessis, lacks potent weapons. It is down to the batters to get a massive total and keep the side in the hunt, du Plessis said after a crushing loss against Mumbai Indians. If only it was that simple. The RCB batters share as much blame as the bowlers, as Virat Kohli & Co. have failed to get the team to the 200-run mark so far this season. Kohli has been scoring runs by the heap, but this has not helped the team cause. Dinesh Karthik has provided some cheer with his late hits, and RCB may be tempted to promote the 38-year-old up the order. RCB will find it hard to contain the explosive SRH batters. South African Heinrich Klaasen and opener Abhishek Sharma, second and third respectively on the list of players with the most number of sixes for the tournament, illustrate SRH’s aggressive intent. SRH will be encouraged by the confidence shown by uncapped Nitish Kumar Reddy, who smashed a 37-ball 64 against Punjab Kings to give the unit a second straight win. Teams (from): Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyash Prabhudessai, Will Jacks, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan.

He is the leading run scorer of the tournament, with 319 runs, including a hundred. Back him as RCB top batter. RCB bowling has been a concern and every bowler has been taken apart. Against SRH, the bowlers are likely to toil hard again. Siraj has not been at his best thus his economy rate can be over 8.5 against SRH.Abhishek Sharma has been brilliant for SRH at the top and will enjoy batting on the small Chinnaswamy Stadium. He has scored 177 runs at a strike rate of over 200. Back him as SRH top batter. The surface will suit the bowling of T Natarajan thus he is our preferred choice for SRH top bowler.The Chinnaswamy Stadium sees a lot of sixes and SRH are leading the charts when it comes to hitting sixes. Back total sixes by SRH to be over 12.5. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers 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 Sunrisers Hyderabad T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 RCB will take on SRH in the 30th match of the IPL 2024. The match will be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru and will start at 7:30 PM IST on April 15. RCB find themselves in a desperate situation. The team is languishing at the bottom of the table with one win and five defeats. It will be false if RCB’s poor show was not expected as the team looked completely off balance.  The bowling was a concern heading into the tournament and the team’s worst nightmare came true as none of the bowlers made any impact. In the batting as well, Virat Kohli did exceptionally well but he got absolutely no support from the other end. SRH, on the other hand, look a real force. They have won two games and lost three matches. The team is laced with match winners from top to bottom. SRH have been bowled out for low scores in a couple of games but they have also posted some of the biggest totals in the tournament, including 277 vs MI.  The batting unit comprising Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klassen have started in fourth gear thus either they bat the opposition out of the contest or collapse. On a small Chinnaswamy Stadium, RCB will be under massive pressure against SRH. RCB vs SRH Match Toss PredictionThe match will be played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium and it is no secret that the captain winning the toss will bowl first as defending is not easy here. RCB vs SRH Pitch ReportThe pitch at the Chinnaswamy Stadium will be flat and there won’t be much help on offer. The spinners get odd balls to grip and turn but it’s a very small ground and even mishits go over the ropes thus there is very little bowlers can do here. Bengaluru Weather ReportBangalore is going through a dry spell thus rain is not a concern. The temperature will range between 35 and 21 degrees and the humidity will be around 30 per cent.
