***Official*** IPL 2024

[HouHsiaoHsien]

I think Sawai Mansnigh is not a flat track or a small ground, so Kohli played pretty well especially against one of the best attacks

 

[Arachnodouche]

Hmm I'm just concerned with the sedate starts he gets off too. Not sure if it has a roll-on effect on others around him or if they're even good enough to pick the slack in the first place. But it always seems like a Kohli score in T20s equals a not-too-imposing team total in the end.

Agreed, but i also do seem him trying to improve on that. Plus 183 is above par or atkeast par here

Annoyingly Faf will likely escape criticism for his rancid knock if they can't defend it, that man is lucky he is captain because Jacks would have his slot instead.

Faf got off to a decent start but slowed down when he wasn't getting much strike

Congrats to RR for winning this

Himanshu has literally never played anything other than IPL and he's 25. What's the go with that? Why doesn't he get picked in SMAT at least?

The first thought in my head is he knows someone...

Surely his connections should be able to get him a game in SMAT then

Not really. If he knows a franchise owner, IPL is all he will get probably.

 

[Niall]

Well at least if Virat had scored another 20 he will know that this shower of crap wouldn't have defended it lol.

Pitch looks like a 220 one

Dew plays a role but the RCB attack is so poor and their handling is even poorer

Buttler's 100 > Kohli's

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bishop really big up that 100 call. Hope he's not hoarse.

Can’t compare. Dew+ strengths of attacks is day and night. Kohli had to face Chahal, Boult, Burger, Avesh etc. RR could ply out Topley and smash everyone

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

RCB should just chase whenever possible and replace Maxwell with Jacks.

Just watching from a pure neutral standpoint, I favored Buttler's

Logically Buttler had better batting conditions and faced the worst attack of the season, compared with Kohli faced the best attack of the season

Not taking anything away from Kohli’s century. Buttler’s proved to be a match winning one
