Former Mumbai Indians pacer Mitchell McClenaghan questioned the run-out dismissal of Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Dhruv Jurel during the IPL 2024 Eliminator against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Wednesday. The incident happened on the first ball of the 14th over when Cameron Green inflicted the run out after a bullet throw by Virat Kohli from deep midwicket. It was a crucial moment in the game as Jurel’s dismissal tilted the game in favour of RCB momentarily. The third umpire took his time to make a decision before finally giving Jurel his marching orders.

While Kohli and Green were praised by the fans and commentators, McClenaghan questioned the decision made by the third umpire, questioning if the laws of the game have changed.

“Always thought you had to have the ball held in your hand to cause a runout… have the rules changed?,” McClenaghan wrote in a post on X.

McClenaghan backed his claim by sharing a screenshot of the rule book.

“The wicket is broken fairly if a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps, or a stump is struck out of the ground by a fielder with his hand or arm, providing that the ball is held in the hand or hands so used, or in the hand of the arm so used,” the rule stated.

Jurel’s dismissal, however, turned out to be a minor hiccup in RR’s chase as Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell played handy cameos to steer them home.

The win saw RR helped them to reach the Qualifier 2 and also knock RCB out of the tournament.

RR will take on SRH on Friday for a place in the final against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Virat Kohli’s Usain Bolt-Like Run, Fiery Celebration On DC Star’s Dismissal Is Viral. Watch

admin — Mon, 13 May 2024 11:06:23 +0000

their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 playoffs qualification hopes. Up against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2024 match on Sunday, RCB didn’t disappoint and secured a thumping victory. But, the win might not have been possible had RCB failed to dismiss DC’s in-form star Jake Fraser-McGurk. The young Australian batter became victim of an unlucky run-out that sent the entire RCB team into jubilation, with none other than Virat Kohli leading the celebrations of the prized wicket.

Cameron Green, on his own bowling, touched a straight drive from Shai Hope and the ball hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Fraser-McGurk had only started to advance towards the striker’s end when the ball shattered the stumps, forcing him to head back to the pavilion.

Kohli, ecstatic to get the big fish, ran like a child, and even seemed to have given the DC star a sendoff. Here’s the video:

Virat knew the value of the Aussie star’s wicket and his celebration perfectly summed that up. The wicket proved to be a turning point in the fortunes for RCB, who went on to restrict DC for just 140 runs.

RCB pace bowler Yash Dayal attributed the renaissance of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the second half of the IPL to them “switching on the attacking mode.” After six consecutive defeats, Royal Challengers won five matches on the bounce to remain in contention for a playoff berth.

In the last game, RCB defeated Delhi Capitals by 47 runs here on Sunday to leap to fifth spot on the table with 12 points from 13 matches.

“Our performances have markedly improved in the last few matches. I think we have switched on that attacking mode in the last few matches. It has been a big positive for us,” said Dayal, who took three for 20 against DC, during the post-match press meet.

The left-arm quick said even while RCB were going through a losing streak, the dressing room remained a thickly-knit unit.

“When you lose matches continuously, like it happened with us, morale will come down a bit. But we took it in our stride and bounced back well.

“But even when we were losing, fingers were not pointed at anyone. We have remained positive throughout the season,” he added.

“Played The Vintage Virat That We All Know”: Cameron Green Praises RCB Star

admin — Fri, 10 May 2024 06:10:52 +0000

Cameron Green lauded star batter Virat Kohli for playing a “vintage” innings to keep Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the race to the IPL playoffs. Kohli made full use of the three reprieves, including one on zero, to make a 47-ball 92 that set the tone for their 60-run win over Punjab Kings in a must-win match in Dharamsala on Thursday. “He played the vintage Virat that we all know. It was a beautiful watch from the other end. That’s the beauty of having Virat in your team, as opposition you can’t give him that many chances,” said Green in the post-match press meet.

The Australian all-rounder, who helped himself to a 27-ball 46, said Kohli was trying to be aggressive and the drops did not affect him.

“He’s always going to make you hurt, especially if you drop him three or four times. Early in his innings, he was trying to be really aggressive. I think he looked like after a couple of dropped catches, he didn’t have much to lose,” added Green.

The Bengaluru side still need to win their remaining two matches against Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings at home to remain in the mix for playoffs.

Green said the team has done well to win four matches on the bounce after a string of defeats.

“Yeah, I think what we’ve done really well is just look at the next game. I think obviously at the start of the tournament you can always look further at what’s coming up, where are we on the table.

“But I think that’s the beauty of where we were at (now), we kind of were pushed into a corner and all we could really do was focus on the next game,” he added.

Meanwhile, Punjab Kings assistant coach Brad Haddin blamed the dropped catches for his side’s defeat.

The Kings let-off Kohli and Green more than once and they bruised them with quickfire knocks as RCB posted a tall 241 for seven.

In reply, PBKS could only manage 181 before getting bundled out.

“100 percent we lost the match because of dropped catches. If we look through the game, we dropped two guys on a duck, and both of them scored big runs. That was where the game was lost.

“There was not too much difference in the batting and bowling of both teams. The catches we put down cost us the game,” said Haddin.

“RCB Will Never Win IPL Until…”: Harbhajan Singh Sets No. 1 Title Criteria For Virat Kohli’s Team

After six defeats on the bounce, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) took a sigh of relief, beating SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) last time out in IPL 2024. It was a collective performance from the batters and bowlers as RCB won just their second game of the campaign. At times this season, RCB have not been clinical with their batting, but the ordinary display from the bowlers has been their Achilles heel. RCB have leaked run heavily in the powerplay, but for a change, the bowlers joined the party against SRH.

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has re-iterated that RCB will not win titles if they continue to rely on batters to score runs every game.

Harbhajan feels that the management should use some common sense and pick quality bowlers at the auction next time out.

“Bilkul! Auction me baithe hain jo log, mujhe ye samajh nahi aata aap log jab auction karne jate ho, aap dekhte ho ki aap logon ko ek balanced team chahye. Aapko heavy ballebaazi hamesha match nahi jitati. Aap jab tak aachhe gendbaz nahi pick karange, tab tak aap jitange nahi. (Definitely. The people who sit there at the auction have to ensure they have a balanced team. Batting heavy side will not always win you matches. Till the time you do not pick good bowlers, you are not going to win titles). Harbhajan said on Star Sports.

Harbhajan also feels that RCB need an Indian guy in the support staff who can help the uncapped India players, especially the bowlers.

“RCB ke lihaaz se, unko management me ek Indian rakhna zaruri hai din pore maidanon ko, Indian youngsters ko samjhe. Jaa ke unke matches (domestic) dekhe aur unko select kare team me. Aur gendbazi aachhi select karni zaruri hai. Batting unki hamesha tagdi rahi hai but kahin-na-kahin wo maar khate hain to gendbazi me. (From RCB management’s perspective, they should have an Indian in the management, who understands Indian youngsters. He should go and see their performances (Indian talents) in domestic cricket and make sure they are picked. It is very crucial to have a good bowling attack. They have always had outstanding batting line-up but it is their bowling which has let them down), he added.

With two wins from nine matches, RCB are currently occupy the last spot in the 10-team table.

They will now take on Gujarat Titans on Sunday, with their every match being a virtual knock out game from here.

RCB Star Will Jacks’ Hilarious Hindi Comment On Cameron Green’s Post Is Viral

admin — Sat, 27 Apr 2024 03:08:25 +0000

Royal Challengers Bengaluru returned to winning ways with a brilliant 35-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, on Thursday. While Rajat Patidar bagged the Player of the Match award, Cameron Green also shone as an all-rounder. The Australian scored an unbeaten 37 off 20 while also 2 wickets for 12 runs in 2 overs. Celebrating his team’s second win of the campaign, Green shared a post on social media after the win, which invited a hilarious comment from teammate Will Jacks.

“Great to be back on the winners list,” Green posted on Instagram. In reply, Jack wrote: “Yes Green Bhai”.

In the first inning of the match, Green played an unbeaten knock of 37 runs from 20 balls at a strike rate of 185. Though he did not hit any sixes, but smashed 5 fours, and the 24-year-old allrounder also grabbed two wickets in his two-over spell later.

While speaking at the post-match presentation, Green applauded the RCB skipper Faf Du Plessis and the head coach for the team’s success. He also showered praise on the opponents and said that they batted well while chasing.

“We always have to celebrate little wins and we feel pretty good now. Credit goes to captain and coach, SRH have been batting well – that was the main reason. I’m still early in my career, I’m still working it out, I like batting up the order and I’m working it out. It is always nice to win one and have to enjoy this,” Green said.

Recapping the match, RCB won the toss and elected to bat first. Skipper Faf Du Plessis (25) and Virat Kohli got the team off to a blazing start in the powerplay. After a slowdown post-powerplay, Rajat Patidar (50) injected life into the RCB’s innings. Virat was dismissed for 51 in 43 balls, with four boundaries and a six and failed to capitalise on his fine start during the powerplay. Despite some quick wickets, cameos from Cameron Green (37*) and Swapnil Singh (12*) took RCB to 206/7 in their 20 overs.

Jaydev Unadkat (3/30) and T Natrajan (2/39) were the top bowlers for SRH. Pat Cummins and Mayank Markande took a wicket each.

In the run-chase, SRH kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Except for Abhishek Sharma (31), none of the previous heroes for SRH, be it Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen or Nitish Reddy made an impact. Skipper Cummins (31) and Shahbaz Ahmed (40) did put up a fight, but SRH was skittled out for 171 in their 20 overs.

Green (2/12) and Karn Sharma (2/29) were the top bowlers for RCB. Swapnil Singh also took two wickets for 40 runs. Will Jacks and Yash Dayal also got a wicket each.

RCB is at the bottom of the points table with two wins, seven losses and four points. SRH is at the third spot with five wins, three losses and 10 points.

SRH vs RCB, IPL 2024: Rajat Patidar, Spinners Help RCB Snap Six-Match Losing Streak With Win Over SRH

admin — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 17:56:58 +0000

Rajat Patidar’s explosive fifty and a collective effort from the spinners set up Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s 35-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 game on Thursday, bringing an end to their six-match losing streak. Patidar’s 50 off 20 balls stood in stark contrast to Virat Kohli’s measured 51 off 43 balls as RCB put up 206 for seven after opting to bat. For a team that has breached the 250-run mark thrice season, the target was very gettable but the in-form SRH batting line-up could not deliver on this occasion and ended at 171 for eight in 20 overs.

It was a much-needed result for RCB, who lost seven of their first eight games. The loss was SRH’s third in eight matches.

Considering the effectiveness of the spinners in the first innings, RCB opened the bowling with part-time off-spinner Will Jacks. The English man had the destructive Travis Head (1 off 3) caught at third man to give RCB a massive boost.

Head’s opening partner Abhishek Sharma (31 off 13) did entertain the home crowd until his attempted slog ended up in the hands of wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik.

Left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh, making his RCB debut, struck twice in his first over removing the dangerous South Africa duo of Aiden Markram and Henrich Klaasen. While Markram missed a full toss to be adjudged lbw, Klaasen was caught at mid-on after mistiming a lofted drive, leaving SRH at 56 for four in five overs.

Leggie Karn Sharma then dismissed Nitish Reddy and Abdul Samad to shut the door on the opposition.

Earlier, Patidar did the bulk of the work in his 65-run stand with Kohli who was focused on giving the strike to his partner, an approach which was questioned by Sunil Gavaskar on air.

Cameron Green (37 not out off 20) and Swapnil Singh (12 off 6) came up with timely strikes in the death overs to take RCB past 200.

RCB were all guns blazing in the first three overs with Kohli and Faf du Plessis (25 off 12) going hard at the SRH bowlers, including opposition skipper Pat Cummins who conceded 19 runs in his first over.

However, from 43 for no loss of the first 18 balls, RCB could only reach 61 for 1 by the end of the powerplay.

Du Plessis was deceived by a slow short ball from T Natarajan to be caught by Aiden Markram at mid-off. Will Jacks (6 off 9) went for a wild slog sweep off a flighted delivery from leg-spinner Mayank Markande but could not make contact to be bowled, leaving RCB 65 for two in seven overs.

That was when Kohli and Patidar got together to take the innings forward.

The spinners were able to put pressure on the batters after the powerplay. As Kohli went for rotation of strike in this tough phase for RCB, Patidar broke the shackles by smashing Markande for four straight sixes in the 11th over.

The first two hits were down the ground before Patidar read Markande”s googly to send it over mid-wicket. The fourth and final six came off a wide and loopy delivery which Patidar dispatched over extra cover.

Such was the contrast in the style of approaches that Patidar took 19 balls to reach his fifty, while IPL”s leading run-getter Kohli took 37.

“You Want To Maximise Those Last Overs”: RCB Captain Faf du Plessis’ Blunt Take On Team’s Defeat

admin — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 06:01:47 +0000

Following his side’s six-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals in their Indian Premier League (IPL), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Faf Du Plessis said that the wicket was tricky in the first innings and got better to bat on later because of dew. Virat Kohli’s blitzkrieg century went in vain as Jos Buttler’s thunderous hundred lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium to power Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Saturday.

Speaking after the match in the post-match presentation, Plessis said, “I think we found the wicket tricky in the first innings. I thought 190 was a good score, think we could have added 10-15 runs max. Their spinners bowled well (in the middle overs), good decision for them to bowl first. With the dew, batting got easier. Virat was playing well at the back end, with someone like Cameron Green coming in, you want to maximise those last overs. We tried to squeeze as hard as we could, but it was tricky to hit against the spinners. It was easier to hit the seamers. The pitch got better, you could feel it, and the ball was skidding along nicely. We were excellent in the first four overs.”

The skipper admitted that spinner Mayank Dagar’s over, the sixth during RR’s run-chase, which gave away 22 runs, shifted the momentum to RR after an early wicket. He also explained the reasoning behind not giving the ball to Maxwell, who has been the highest wicket-taking bowler for RCB in this tournament, with four scalps.

“I think that 20 runs over (from Dagar) took the momentum away and shifted the pressure back on us. Not bowling Maxwell was because all right-handers were batting, so went to the left-handed spinner initially. With two right-handers at the crease, went to the left-arm spinner and later got the leg spinner (Himanshu Sharma) into the attack. There was no point in being defensive, we needed wickets,” said Plessis.

“When we got Jaiswal out, I did not feel the need to go to Maxwell. Fielding was average, it’s something we have spoken about, and we will work and try to improve. Not worried about catches, it’s about showing intensity on the field,” he concluded.

Coming to the match, RR put RCB to field first. Despite an opening partnership of 125 runs between skipper Faf Du Plessis (44 in 33 balls, with two fours and two sixes) and Virat Kohli (113* in 72 balls, with 12 fours and four sixes), RCB failed to put up a fine total on the board, settling for 183/3 in their 20 overs.

Yuzvendra Chahal (2/34) was the pick of the bowlers for RR. Nandre Burger also took a wicket.

In the run-chase, RR did lose Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck. But skipper Sanju Samson (69 in 42 balls, with eight fours and two sixes) joined forces with Jos Buttler (100* in 58 balls, with nine fours and four sixes), who roared back into form with a century in his 100th IPL match. Despite some quick wickets later, RR chased down the total with five balls and six wickets in hand.

Reece Topley (2/27) was the pick of the bowlers for RCB. Yash Dayal and Mohammed Siraj took a wicket each but it was not enough.

Buttler took home the ‘Player of the Match’ award.

RR is at the top spot, having won four of their four games, which gives them eight points. RCB is at eighth spot with a win in their five matches, giving them only two points.

“No Role Clarity, Only One Batter In Form”: IPL-Winning Coach Slams RCB

admin — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 09:34:03 +0000

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) slumped to yet another defeat in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), going down to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at home on Tuesday. RCB have now lost three of their four games, having only beaten Punjab Kings (PBKS) so far. Against LSG, RCB were bowled out for 153 in 19.4 overs while chasing 182. Barring Virat Kohli, no other batter has managed to give a good account for himself. While analysing the defeat, former SunRisers Hyderabad head coach Tom Moody highlighted RCB’s achilles heel so far in the season.

Moody feels the lack of role clarity among batters is really hurting RCB, adding that the “chop and change” policy is a cause of concern.

“From a players’ perspective, there is talk about role clarity and it looks like there isn’t any role clarity in RCB. They are still searching for their best combination. It’s like until they start winning a couple of games, they won’t settle on that set batting order,” Moody said on ESPNcricinfo.

“They’ve only got one batter in form, that’s Virat Kohli. Faf, Green, Maxwell, and Patidar haven’t found their feet yet and they don’t know what their best lineup and batting order is, which is also disruptive in any team environment,” he added.

Coming back to RCB’s chase, the home side lost the wickets of Kohli, skipper Faf du Plessis and Maxwell in the space of nine deliveries and three runs.

Left-arm spinner Manimaran Siddharth, who came in as impact substitute in place of De Kock, got Kohli as his debut wicket as the star batsman miscued a shot to backward point and walked back after his 22 off 16 balls.

Du Plessis was run out in the next over off a direct throw and three balls later Yadav had Maxwell out caught at mid-on with his searing pace.

Wickets kept tumbling and despite cameos from Rajat Patidar, who made 29, and Mahipal Lomror, who hit 33 off 13, the chase ended tamely.

Earlier, LSG rode on Quinton De Kock’s 56-ball 81 and an unbeaten 40 by Nicholas Pooran to post 181-5 at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

“Look Mom…”: Mayank Yadav’s Instagram Post After Beating RCB Wins Internet

admin — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 11:04:19 +0000

Following his side’s 28-run win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) pace sensation Mayank Yadav expressed happiness with his performance, with a heartwarming social media post. A three-wicket haul by Mayank and a barrage of top-class pace bowling destroyed the RCB top order and helped LSG hand the home side their third loss at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday. Following the win, Mayank took to Instagram and wrote, “Look mom I can fly”. Within just two matches, Mayank has gathered headlines for his sheer pace, touching the bowling speeds of 150 kmph-plus consistently.

During the match against RCB, Yadav bagged three wickets in his four-over spell, giving only 14 runs. Following his remarkable spell, the pacer was named the ‘Player of the Match’.

The LSG seamer scripted history at the age of 21 as he became the first bowler in the history of IPL to win the ‘Player of the Match’ award in their first two matches.

He clocked 156.7 kmph during the game against RCB and bowled the fastest delivery in the ongoing edition and overall the fourth fastest in the history of the entire tournament, breaking his own record made during the Punjab Kings match which was his debut, where he clocked 155.8 kmph. During his debut game, he took 3/27 in four overs.

It is not just Mayank’s pace that has many terming him as the next big Indian pace prospect, it is also the control over his line and length and intimidation that he has produced in a matter of couple of matches which stands out.

His consecutive three-wicket hauls in his first two games also helped him enter the elite list of players. Yadav became the sixth bowler to scalp three-plus wicket hauls in each of their first two IPL matches. The 21-year-old pacer now has embarked his name along with Lasith Malinga, Amit Singh, Mayank Markande, and Jofra Archer.

Coming to the match, RCB elected to field first after winning the toss. Openers Quinton de Kock and skipper KL Rahul (20 in 14 balls, with two sixes) gave LSG a measured start with a 53-run opening stand. There was a 56-run stand between Kock and Marcus Stoinis (24 in 15 balls, with a four and two sixes) which helped LSG cross the 100-run mark. RCB bowlers did put pressure on the batting towards the end, but Nicholas Pooran (40* in 21 balls, with a four and five sixes) finished off well for LSG, taking them to 181/5 in their 20 overs.

Glenn Maxwell (2/23) was the pick of the bowlers for RCB.

Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal and Reece Topley took a wicket each for RCB. In the run chase, openers Virat Kohli (22 in 16 balls, with two fours and a six) and Faf Du Plessis (19 in 13 balls, with three fours) started off with a 40-run opening stand. But a game-changing spell from Mayank Yadav (3/14) put RCB on the backfoot, reducing them to 94/5. Mahipal Lomror (33 in 13 balls, with three fours and three sixes) and Rajat Patidar (29 in 21 balls, with two fours and two sixes) tried to put up a fight, but RCB could score just 153 in 19.4 overs.

Besides Mayank, Naveen-ul-Haq (2/25) was the pick of the bowlers for LSG. Siddarth, Yash Thakur and Stoinis got a wicket each.

Mayank got the ‘Player of the Match’ for his spell. RCB is in the ninth spot with a win and two losses, giving them three points. LSG is in the fourth place with two wins and a loss, giving them a four points.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Mayank Yadav bowled an absolute ripper to castle Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)’s Cameron Green in their IPL 2024 match on Tuesday, which the visitors won by 28 runs at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The delivery, which was clocked at 156.7 kmph, went through Green’s defence, with the RCB star beaten by Mayank’s sheer pace. The incident happened on the fourth ball of the eighth over with RCB chasing 182 to win. Green’s wicket left RCB reeling at 58/4.

After the match, RCB skipper skipper Faf du Plessis decoded the set of skill set that makes Mayank Yadav so lethal.

The Delhi tearaway left RCB batters at his mercy following his sensational spell which saw him register 3/14.

On a night when records tumbled as LSG pacer clocked 156.7 kph to bowl the fastest delivery in the ongoing edition and overall the fourth fastest in the history of the entire tournament.

He dismissed Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar which dented RCB’s hopes of chasing 182.

After the game, Du Plessis pointed out the factors that makes Mayank more deadly apart from his sheer pace.

“As with any new young fast bowler, it’s an action you haven’t faced before and he has the pace behind it. His pace was great but more impressive was his ability to control length and bowl with discipline. It’s pace combined with accuracy,” du Plessis said after the game.
