Indian Premier League 2023 March 31- May 28

Maxwells reverse sweep shots works on good batting decks, not low bounce spinner friendly wickets. Its just not a percentage shot to be playing right now. Should have seen off Bishnoi and then look to attack other bowlers.

 

[NYRB]

Drizzle getting heavy and the players are off

 

[NYRB]

RCB post 126 and that feels significantly underpar. Advantage LSG at the change of innings.

 

[NYRB]

Stoinis going to have dig Lucknow out after a bad start in pursuit of a low score here.

 

[Zevon]

Lucknow batting on a very tricky surface but goodness they haven’t helped their cause with some dumb dismissals.

Playing reverse sweep shots after just coming in not a good call.But picked up a vital wicket in his 1 over and good to see Hazelwood back and bowl well in a low scoring game on a bowler friendly wicket.

 

[NYRB]

RCB probably reda the wicket better than the home team last night. RCB set the stall after the 4th or 5th over for mid 130s

Lucknow under pressure in their chase from the get-go especially not having KL Rahul at the top of the order.

 

[NYRB]

And with last nights game Kohli and Faf push back up the e leaderboard. We have a new clubhouse leader for the Orange Cap.

 

[NYRB]

Virat Kohli and Gambhir wont be exchanging Christmas Cards this season.

Whadda you think about the ball tracking? It hit him in the ribs

I wouldn't have given it out. I thought it was going over the top.

I missed this. I wasn’t concentrating. Was it shown on telly?

I missed all this. I wasn’t concentrating. Was it shown on telly?

I switched the game off after the game was done. I’m assuming it had something to do with the Afghan player.

For years, Harsha's bosses(the BCCI not Star Sports,) were dead against DRS despite India playing in the test that brought about the need for DRS against Australia at the SCG in 2008. Then, in the Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals match after a successful DRS review, Harsha said ''that's why we have to have DRS''. I don't disagree with him, but I had a chuckle when I heard that.

Quirky little stat before tonights game between the TItans (1st) and Delhi (10th). No team who has bat 1st at Narendri Modi Stadium has ever scored more than 56+ Runs or more in the powerplay.


You would imagine if Delhi bat first,with a slowish David Warner occupying the crease, they mat struggle to clear 50 inside the powerplay if batting 1st.

Game 44 of the IPL

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Philip Salt(w), Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw, Priyam Garg, Axar Patel, Ripal Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma

Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Wriddhiman Saha(w), Abhinav Manohar, Hardik Pandya(c), Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, Joshua Little

Delhi won the toss and elected to bat first. No Mitch Marsh tonight as he is sick.

 

[NYRB]

Here are the Impact substitutes for both the teams:

Gujarat Titans Subs: Shubman Gill, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Srikar Bharat, Sai Sudharsan, Shivam Mavi

Delhi Capitals Subs: Khaleel Ahmed, Lalit Yadav, Yash Dhull, Praveen Dubey, Abishek Porel

 

[NYRB]

Shubman Gill is a lock to come on as a sub, bit less certain who will come on as an Impact sub for Delhi Capitals.

Shubman Gill is a lock to come on as a sub, bit less certain who will come on as an Impact sub for Delhi Capitals.

Surely GT could go with one less bowler to get Suderashan in as well
What happened to Hardik bowling ?

 

[NYRB]

Game 45 of the IPl

[NYRB]

5 games ever played here and no team has yet to score more than 52+ Runs in the opening 6 over powplay when batting first at Lucknows home ground.

 

[NYRB]

CSK Substitutes: Ambati Rayudu, Mitchell Santner, Subhranshu Senapati, Shaik Rasheed, Akash Singh



Lucknow Substitutes: Yash Thakur, Daniel Sams, Quinton de Kock, Prerak Mankad, Deepak Hooda

 

[NYRB]

Thats a beautiful strike from Mayers for a boundary to get things rolling in this double header tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Wicket at Lucknow has green spots on it. I think it could follow a similar pattern to previous games.

 

[NYRB]

a wicket for Deshpande will giev him the purple cap.

 

[NYRB]

Interesting to note , more yellow shirts in the crowd for an away game for Chennai.
