LSG need to make sure they don't end up losing by a big margin here while chasing this
IPL 2024
- Thread starter AshRK
- Start date
KL Rahul best get a move on here. He’s putting immense pressure on the rest of the lineup if they fall too far behind the rr here.
Glad Surya is staying out with an injury to win this complete dead rubber with a world cup around the corner
Using the exact same part of his brain that he used in the WC final 2023

Great innings by Samson but he is not happy with the third umpire for that call.
looked very not out - and may have cost RR the game looking at how it is going
Yeah, bit of an impossible angle to be 100% sure but it did look like his foot touched.
Bloody he’ll, as Sampson went out, Powell scored two fours and at the start of Khaleels over they hit a 6 & a 4 and I thought that’s the game for RR and I went to eat something. Now I see they’ve lost another 3 wickets.
edit: it was Kuldeep who did the damage.
Powell should be batting higher up their order. 2nd game in a row that'll be hurting them
Both MI and DC win!
DC’s picked up some decent form recently. In with a decent shot of making the playoffs.
Too late for delhi I feel. Rajasthan need to be careful or they may miss out on top 2.
It's replacing Warner with Fraser-McGurk that's done the damage. The kid Is a beast.
CSK in trouble actually with their bowling decimated. Pathirana, Chahar, Theekahana, Rahman...all gone!
They're just a stacked team - very good bench
Hetmyer, Jurel, Burger, Kuldeep Sen didnt play and all are excellent for the roles they replace in the 11
Fair point! Tough calls there
JFM does seem a special talent. Plays with absolutely no fear.
All gone back to their national teams or injuries?
i watched him play for the Renegades in the BBL earlier this year. A lot of Aussies seem to think he'll be their next big star. Reminds me a lot of Glenn Maxwell.
Nice! I was watching the BBL as well. Yeah apparently very highly rated with Aaron Hardie also highly rated as an all rounder. Hes taken to the IPL like a duck to water.
I read a piece on him that said he's the first player in the history of the IPL to hit 3 half centuries in less than 20 balls. Not bad for just a handful of games.
Fantastic batting
Loaded this page and thought "yea, I agree" and then saw you posted it on Sunday
Looks like they want to end it in 10 overs
What was the powerplay record again?
That was a batting show
Two phenomenal players

How do you even interpret a performance where one guy batted at 29 off 33, and then you have this?
I hope KL learns from this - just incredible hubris

Wow, that’s an insane stat considering who’s played here before him and for how long. Isn’t this Heads 2nd or 3rd half century this season in under 20 as well?
Absolute carnage by these 2. Love to watch it. Feel so sorry for the bowlers at times.
Travis Head went from 64 to 65 with his first single
What a stat
What a stat
Legit making a mockery of the bowling.
SRH have been incredible this year..
Ben Duckett inspired this
Absolute carnage. But so much fun to watch.
Chased down with 2 balls 10 overs to spare!
In the same article, it said that Head nearly did it because his 3rd half century took exactly 20 balls.
What a chase 
The guy will never learn. Let us not forget he said strike rate is overrated
So glad we picked the wrong Sharma for the WC.
Fraser-McGurk's not going either. I'm surprised at the Aussies because they've usually gone with the mantra "if you're good enough, you're old enough." Not surprised at India at all.
While it’s a real shame that Rohit is going and will be in the playing XI being the captain, I don’t think Abhishek is quite ready even with today’s performance. He’s had some questionable decision making over the past week or so. Definitely think he’s the future though and will get into teams post-WC. I thought Agarkar picked the best squad he could have given the options and injuries, especially in not selecting KL and picking Samson instead.
Plus, Fraser-McGurk isn’t going, which is an even bigger blunder in my view from a cricket board that usually gets these decisions right. I mean he’s being picked in the IPL over the current Aussie opener by arguably the greatest Australian captain of all time. It’s ironic that Fraser-McGurk hasn’t been selected based off his insane form in India given the selector’s entire career imo boils down to one insane series in India.
At least the Aussies left Steve Smith out
Yeah, Head and JFM would’ve been a scary opening pair
