IPL 2024 GT vs DC preview: Titans, Capitals search for consistency

Gujrat Titans will be striving for much needed consistency when they meet Delhi Capitals in an Indian Premier League match here on Wednesday. Unlike the past two editions, the Titans have not been able to play like a well-oiled machine though they still have time to fix the flaws. A last ball win over table leaders Rajasthan Royals on April 10 was just the kind of result the Titans needed to infuse fresh live to their campaign. They have only managed only two wins from their first six games but with another eight matches remaining, the Shubman Gill-led team has enough time to turn things around. The absence of Mohammad Shami has hurt them but they must best use the available resources. Umesh Yadav has taken seven wickets but has leaked more than 10 runs per over. His new ball partner Spencer Johnson and the seasoned Mohit Sharma too can improve on their economy rate. Star spinner Rashid Khan has been at his frugal best but would like to have more wickets in his kitty. His cameo in

IPL 2024: For RCB coach Andy Flower, every game is like semifinal now

After his side's sixth defeat in seven matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Andy Flower confessed that each of their remaining seven matches will have to be treated like a semifinal. In the latest setback to their playoff aspirations, RCB went down by 25 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Monday. It is obviously knockout time and every game is like a semifinal for us now. But we will have to think that we will come back stronger, Flower said on RCB Game Day. RCB conceded the highest-ever IPL total 287 for three as the Hyderabad batters went on a merry ride against their directionless bowlers. Flower admitted that it was a tough night for his side. It was a really tough night in the field, of course, as they finished so powerfully that it probably took the wind out of our souls, he said. However, Flower found shards of positives during RCB's chase such as Dinesh Karthik's superlative 83 off 35 balls and skipper Faf Du Plessis

IPL 2024: RCB's Maxwell takes 'mental-physical' break' after horrid start

Royal Challengers Bengaluru all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has decided to take a mental and physical break from the Indian Premier League after going through a modest run in the tournament. Maxwell's absence from RCB's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Monday was initially attributed to a finger injury he suffered during the previous match against Mumbai Indians, but he later admitted that he has taken a break from the league. It was a pretty easy decision. I went to Faf and the coaches after the last game (vs Mumbai Indians) and said it was probably time we tried someone else (in his place). It's actually a good time to give myself a bit of a mental and physical break, get my body right, Maxwell said in the post-match press meet. If I'm required to get in during the tournament, I can, hopefully, get back into a solid mental and physical space where I can make an impact, he added. Maxwell was quite underwhelming with the bat in the six matches he has played this season, making

IPL 2024: No injury concerns to Maxwell at the minute - RCB's Mo Bobat

Mo Bobat, Director of Cricket at Royal Challengers Bengaluru, on Sunday allayed fitness concerns surrounding Glenn Maxwell ahead of their IPL 2024 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad here. Maxwell had suffered a hit on his thumb while fielding in RCB's previous match against Mumbai Indians, but Bobat said the Australian all-rounder has recovered well. "Maxi has had a couple of scans, and he's okay at the minute. So, there's no injury concerns. He's going to practice today and get more of a feel," said Bobat in the pre-match press meet. Maxwell has been going through a shabby IPL this season, having managed to score just 32 runs from six matches at an average of 5.33. However, Bobat backed Maxwell to turn things around sooner than later. "He's disappointed. He obviously has high standards and has a very, very impressive 12 to 24 months.

IPL 2024, RCB vs SRH preview: Will RCB bowlers step up in quest for a win?

Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL campaign that began in cheerfulness has melted into chaos, and their bowlers require a drastic transformation in mindset against Sunrisers Hyderabad for them to register an elusive win here on Monday. The Royal Challengers have players of repute and elite coaches with lofty pedigree but none of their plans have worked so far, evidenced by the team's 10th place in the standings with a solitary win from six matches. The RCB's trundling run in this IPL is directly linked to their bowlers' ineffectiveness. They showed a distinct lack of willingness to adapt and upskill on conditions that needed a different thinking. In this IPL, the bowlers have often relied on variations like knuckle balls, slow bouncers and pace-off deliveries to counter a set of ultra-aggressive batsmen. However, the Bengaluru bowlers have been largely unidimensional in their approach allowing batters to tackle them with ease and the match against Mumbai Indians offers a case ...
