Indian Premier League (IPL 2024)

As we all know, we mark the beginning of Indian premier league ( IPL) 2024. This is the 17th season of the tournament. Gujrat Titans were the champions in the previous season. We now will have a look at the tournament (IPL ) 2024. There are many good things happening as well as some controversies around happening. Lets have a look at all of them:

1. Rohit - Hardik controversy

IPL 2024


This is the biggest and most talked controversy in this season IPL. Before the commencement of the tournament, Hardik Pandya was announced as the captain of Mumbai Indians. This provided a shock to all Indians fans and Mumbai Indians fans.

Rohit Sharma being the most experienced player of the side without a doubt should be in the captaincy role. During the match, we saw feud between them, when Rohit was sent on the long on position. We ca also have a look at the list of all rounders and judge the best ones.

2. Mitchell Starc performance-

IPL 2024


Mitchell Starc is the most expensive player of IPL yet. He was bought for a whopping amount of Rs. 24.75cr. Fans expected him to perform very well like he did for Australia in the CWC. For that reason he was bought for this amount. In today's match somehow, in the first match he conceded 53 runs in 4 overs without a wicket. For a player of a huge value this was a poor performance

3. RCB Title winning- 

RCB


Recently, we witnessed RCB(W) winning the WPL 2024 title. This gave hopes to many fans around the world that the men team will also perform like the women team. Fans keep great expectations from the team. The RCB fanbase is the most loyal fanbase as the team consist of Virat Kohli, Faf Du Plesis, Glenn Maxwell, ETC. The fans says " WIN LOSE OR TIE, RCB TILL I DIE". This shows loyalty of the fans. Fans from around the world come to watch King Kohli play. After the first match, fans are disappointed after watching their team lose. 

4. Jio Cinema investment-

Jio cinema has invested a lot in IPL. They are broadcasting IPL for free. Crores of Indians watch IPL on Jio cinema. They have the highest viewers of IPL. Jio cinema provides fans with multiple camera angles to watch from. There are multiple languages like Bhojpuri, Bengali, Hindi, etc. to select from. Jio cinema also offer people some prizes by organizing different competitions.

5. CSK dominance-

IPL 2024


As all cricket fans know, Chennai Supper Kings(CSK) have always dominated in the previous seasons of the tournament. This season is no different for CSK fans. This might be last season of Mahendra Singh Dhoni(MSD) aka Thala. Fans are emotional and enjoying his last matches. After 2 matches of CSK, they have won both and are at the top of the table. We expect them to finish at the top.

6. MI vs SRH smash battle-

IPL 2024

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians match number 8 in IPL 2024. This match was a blockbuster match. Over 500 runs scored in a match. People had their eyes on the television till the end. Mumbai Indians did the start the chase very well with Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma but gradually with losing wickets they could not keep track of the required run rate and eventually ended with a defeat. 

7. CSK first defeat-

IPL 2024

In today's match Chennai Super Kings suffered their first defeat of the season in match number 13 of this season against Delhi Capitals. In this match, major players like David Warner and Rishabh Pant played a fabulous innings for the team and helped to put up 191/5 on the board. On the other hand, CSK fell a bit short of the chase. Meanwhile, MSD came to bat and the crowd went excited.

8. Rishabh Pant comeback

IPL 2024

Everyone knows about the horrific accident that took place. He lives his 2nd life. It was a career threatening accident. He was out of cricket for 2 years. This year he was declared as the captain of Delhi Capitals (DC). And as we have seen he is delivering beyond excellence. In today's match he has 2 50s in 4 matches. He is playing his part perfectly but still some areas to improve the team.

9. High scoring matches-

IPL 2024

In 16 matches completed now, we have seen few high scoring matches already. We have also seen the highest score record broken. In today's match teams are scoring more than 250 runs. Some are able to chase and some are not. This season is batting friendly yet. It has favored batsman more than bowlers. 

10. Introduction of Mayank Yadav-

LSG

He has been the most talked player of IPL 2024. He is an Indian born pacer in Lucknow Super Giants. His bowling is keeping people amazed. He bowls at the speed of more than 150km/h. Very few bowlers reach this milestone. He is uncapped right now but soon to be capped. He also has control on his line and lengths. He played under 19 recently. 

11. Sunrisers Hyderabad strong team

SRH

Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH) have a strong line up this season. With strong foreign players in the line up like Travis Head, Henrich Klassen, Pat Cummins, Aiden Markram and etc. They have made SRH one of the favorites to qualify for the playoffs. Their Indian players like Bhubaneshwar Kumar, Mayank Aggarwal are also providing good support. 

12. Mumbai Indians register 1st win

MI vs DC

Mumbai Indians(MI) secure their 1st win of this season in today's match i.e their 4th match of the season. With previous records similar to this, they have a chance of taking the cup. This was their first win under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. Hope them to continue this form.

13. Andre Russell reaction-

Andre Russell

In yesterday's match between Chennai Super Kings(CSK) vs Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR), we saw KKR setting a low target of 138 runs in 20 overs. It was an easy chase for them but they lost few wickets by the end. We saw Mahendra Singh Dhoni entering the ground. This process led to a roar by the people in stadium. To which, Russell reacted to by closing his ears and disrespecting the crowd.

14. King Kohli century in vain-

Kohli century

In match number 19 of IPL2024, we saw Virat Kohli scoring a century but he made an unwanted record of scoring the slowest century in IPL. He made 100 in 67 balls. But he helped to set a target of 184. His all hard work went in vain after we see Rajasthan Royals easily chased the target and Jos Butler scoring a century. 

15. IPL points table saga-

IPL 2024

Today if we see in this season IPL the points table is getting heated up. Today, after 5 matches each there is Rajasthan Royals leading with 8 points in their bag yet to lose. There are 3 teams with 6 points like KKR, LSG, CSK. There are 3 points with 4 points like SRH, PBKS, GT. There are 3 teams with 2 points like RCB, MI, DC. So the competition is high and is heating.

16. Hardik Pandya walks out to bat

RCB vs MI

Yesterday in the match between RCB vs MI, when Hardik Pandya walked out to bat the fans started booing him. To this Virat Kohli reacted and reached out the public on not to boo him but to cheer him and show some respect. Fans then started to cheer Hardik Pandya and Hardik also thanked Kohli for the love and support he received by the fans. 

17. Emergence of James Fraser-Mcgruk- 

DC vs LSG

An Australian player played the first 5 matches of the season as had no space in the team. But was selected for one match and proved his importance here. Scored 55 in 35 balls. Took Delhi capitals for their 2nd victory of the season. Now he has made a spot in the playing XI. He scored his 85% runs from boundaries by smashing it out if the park and grounded shots. He emerged as a jewel for Delhi capitals. Hope this form to continue.

18. Sunrisers breaking own records-

IPL 2024

Yesterday we saw Royal challengers Bangalore(RCB) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH). In that match we saw SRH breaking its own record of scoring highest runs in a match. Previously the record was for 272/3 in the previous match but in the next game which was RCB vs SRH they changed that record by scoring 287/3. Their batting was breathtaking yesterday. We saw RCB fans yesterday showed up in numbers and went home disappointed. 

19. Travis Head masterclass-

Travis Head

In the yesterday's match, we saw Travis head from Australia scoring a ton yesterday. He scored 102(41). His master innings led SRH to create a massive score of 287/3. He celebrated his ton in the Chris Gayle style. He was the reason for India's heartbreak and RCB heartbreak. 


20. Top of the table clash-

IPL 2024

Today is the top of the table clash between Kolkata knight riders(KKR) vs Rajasthan royals(RR). RR is ranked 1st in the points table and KKR is 2nd in the points table. But winner of today's match will help to decide the leaders of the IPL season till now. Both teams are in great form and playing well. The excitement for this match has peaked and hype around this is also great. Keep an eye for the results and find out the winner.


21. Highest run chase- 


In the match number 33, Rajasthan royals vs Kolkata knight riders, where KKR did bat first and set a huge total of 223/4. Sunil Narine innings of 109(56) helped them to reach at this level. A score this big have not been chased yet ever. Out comes RR to bat. The wickets of the team were falling but Jos Butler stood steady at one end. As the match was coming to an end, Butler shifted gears and scored 107(60). This score helped RR to chase down such a big score. 

22. season's first low scoring match- 


Match number 32 of IPL 17 was the first low scoring game of the season. For the very first time bowlers did dominate the game. A total of 14 wickets fell yesterday and only 180 runs scored. In others matches teams are scoring more than 270 runs. This match also keeps up the hopes of Delhi capitals bringing them to 6th place and fight for playoffs.

23. Sunrisers for the win:





In thus year of IPL season, Sunrisers Hyderabad are making season rough for other teams. They are setting new records and flying high in the points table. Currently, they are 2nd in the table. They set a new record of highest runs in an innings. They have scored big in many matches with the score of 204/7, 277/3, 287/3, 266/7. They also are chasing targets very early like they chased a target of 178 in 15 overs against Punjab kings.

24. Virat Kohli wrong decision:



In yesterday's match which was RCB vs KKR. RCB was supposed to chase a huge target of 223 in 20 overs. The key player for this chase was Virat Kohli. He came in to bat and start the chase. Everything was going well but one ball of Harshit Rana that looked over height which should have been a no ball. Virat Kohli did play the  all right back to the bowler and was out. This led to a quarrel between the umpires and Virat Kohli. Many fans were broken hearted. This resulted for a loss of RCB in the match.

25. Sandeep Sharma fifer- 

A match between PBKS vs RR, Sandeep Sharma got to play his first match for the team ie. RR. He came on to bowl the opening overs of the innings and got some wickets early on. After some overs, he took a total of 5 wickets and was the man of the match in that match.

26. Rise of James Fraser-MCgruk


Before the start of IPL, Ricky Ponting said that they have a "mini dynamite" in the team. He did not play the starting matches and result in loss for Delhi capitals. He was got in after 4 loss, but after his introduction, no bowler was left to smash. He almost started hitting almost every ball and DC could bring on huge totals of 210. And thus, this got them back to winning ways. 

27. SRH sent for a pause

In the match of RCB vs SRH, RCB batted first and scored a huge total for SRH of 210. Everyone knew SRH will easily chase it. The bowling unit of RCB had other plans this time. They sent SRH top order cheaply and could only score 178. They lost the match and this was a big setback for them.

28. Highest runs chased ever

In the match between KKR vs PBKS, KKR did set a huge total of 261. These many runs have never been chased and looked impossible for PBKS. They started off the chase well, giving their team a good start. They also lost some wickets in between but kept the momentum on. They were helped to chase by Johny Bairstow and Shashank Singh. They both helped to create a record and chase these many runs.

29. Is 200 the next 150?

In IPL we have seen teams scoring big runs of 180 and 190. Very rarely we used to see a batting feast of 200 runs. But in this season of IPL, we have seen 200+ runs almost in every match. There are very few instances when 200 is not scored. 200 is now the basic score for the team. We have also seen new recorded being created of most runs scored in an innings. 

30. Fall of Delhi capitals

In yesterday match, DC vs KKR, we saw a fall in Delhi capitals batting. Winning the toss Delhi elected to bat first, as they came out to bat they started off very nicely. They were 27/0 in 2 overs. Prithvi Shaw was on a roll and hitting every ball. James Fraser Mcgruk was sent back cheaply. He only scored 12(7). Varun Chakravarty was the highest wicket taker. Delhi capitals finished their innings for 153/9. They could not bowl well and let KKR chase easily.
