RCB vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 30th Match

RCB vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 30th Match | RCB vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today | Bengaluru Pitch Report

On form and pedigree, one may expect Sunrisers Hyderabad to smash a massive total against a struggling attack at the batting-friendly M Chinnaswamy Stadium. That will certainly be the aim of Pat Cummins’ team as they meet struggling Royal Challengers Bengaluru who are bottom of the table.

But, the IPL has taught us over the years that form alone is not enough to decide a result. Anything can happen on the night, and RCB will be hoping their bowlers can do enough to keep the powerful SRH lineup in check as much as possible.

That being said, Faf du Plessis himself admitted the team needs to go harder with the bat given their bowling woes. Last time out, Mumbai Indians chased their 196 in just 15.3 overs, leaving Faf and RCB to scratch their heads and wonder where they go to from here.

LSG’s big loss in Kolkata pushed SRH into the top four. RCB desperately need to win to keep in touch with the playoff places, especially considering their awful net run rate of -1.124. All to play for.

MI vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 29th Match

MI vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: IPL 2024 29th Match | MI vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Today | Wankhede Pitch Report

It’s time for the IPL’s El Clasico. And this one has the makings of a cracking contest in what is a new dawn in this rivalry. For the first time in over a decade, neither Rohit Sharma nor MS Dhoni are captaining an MI-CSK clash, with the opportunity now for numerous players to shine in such a high-profile encounter.

After a terrible start to IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians have won two straight. But, they were against strugglers Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals, so this is without their biggest test. However, with Jasprit Bumrah in such great form and the powerful batting lineup beginning to click, they are more than capable of picking up their third-straight win.

Chennai Super Kings are well placed, but they too have their challenges to overcome. They have lost both their away matches so far in IPL 2024, with the Wankhede a test of their mettle. The strike rate of their top order will come into question as there is little doubt MI’s batting unit will go as hard as they can to put CSK off.

But, as CSK have shown many times over the years, form can go out the window at any moment. Strap in, this one could be a classic.

IPL 2024 29th Match: MI vs CSK Possible Playing XIs

Mumbai Indians: 1. Ishan Kishan (wk), 2. Rohit Sharma, 3. Suryakumar Yadav, 4. Hardik Pandya (c), 5. Tilak Varma, 6. Tim David (OS), 7. Mohammad Nabi (OS), 8. Romario Shepherd (OS), 9. Shreyas Gopal, 10. Jasprit Bumrah, 11. Gerald Coetzee (OS), 12. Akash Madhwal

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Suryakumar Yadav/Akash Madhwal

Chennai Super Kings: 1. Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), 2. Rachin Ravindra (OS), 3. Ajinkya Rahane, 4. Shivam Dube, 5. Daryl Mitchell (OS), 6. Ravindra Jadeja, 7. Sameer Rizvi, 8. MS Dhoni (wk), 9. Deepak Chahar, 10. Tushar Deshpande, 11. Matheesha Pathirana/Maheesh Theekshana (OS), 12. Mustafizur Rahman (OS)

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Shivam Dube/Mustafizur Rahman

Fantasy Cricket Tips for MI vs CSK: Key Players to Watch/Key Stats for the 29th Match of IPL 2024

Mumbai Indians:

  • Rohit Sharma has struck four 25+ scores in five games this season, but is yet to cross 50. Is this the day he does? Overall he has scored 732 runs against CSK at an average of 28.15 and strike rate of 128.12.
  • Ishan Kishan has scored 26 runs off eight balls without dismissal against Mustafizur Rahman in T20s. Kishan is MI’s leading run-scorer so far this season with 161 at a strike rate of 182.95.
  • Against CSK, Kishan has scored 215 runs at an average of 26.88 and strike rate of 127.22.
  • Suryakumar Yadav lit up the Wankhede in the last match, hitting a 19-ball 52 against RCB. He has the second-most runs against CSK among current MI players (314) at an average of 31.40 and strike rate of 126.61.
  • SKY vs CSK at Wankhede Stadium: 3 inns, 109 runs, avg. 34.3, SR 139.3.
  • The spotlight remains bright on Hardik Pandya. This could be a game where he gets more fans on his side. For MI against CSK, Hardik strikes at 157.69 (164 runs, avg. 32.80). He also has eight wickets.
  • Hardik loves this ground. He has now scored 1,016 runs at an average of 33.87 and strike rate of 135.11 along with 35 wickets.
  • Jasprit Bumrah is simply superb. He is coming off a five-wicket haul against RCB. Interestingly, Bumrah has taken 12 wickets in 14 matches vs. CSK (avg. 34.58) including just two wickets in four matches against them at Wankhede Stadium. But, he has the form to turn this around.
  • Bumrah will be key in keeping Dube quiet. The star quick has overall figures of 2/10 off 17 balls against the in-form batsman.
  • Gerald Coetzee has been expensive but is a wicket-taker. He is striking every 13.87 deliveries in IPL 2024.

Chennai Super Kings:

  • Ruturaj Gaikwad has scored 26 runs off 13 balls against Jasprit Bumrah without dismissal. Gaikwad has a score of 88 vs. MI and just 81 combined in his other six innings against them.
  • Rachin Ravindra has scored just 29 runs in his past three innings. The Wankhede Stadium is a good ground to try turn that form around.
  • In 18 innings on this ground, Shivam Dube has scored 345 runs at an average of 21.56 and strike rate of 126.84. Expect MI to test him with pace in the form of Bumrah and Coetzee in particular.
  • Ravindra Jadeja will be key in keeping Suryakumar Yadav quiet. The left-arm spinner has overall figures of 4/48 in 62 balls against the hard-hitting batsman.
  • Jadeja also has overall figures of 2/18 in 16 balls against Hardik Pandya and 3/83 off 80 balls against Rohit Sharma.
  • CSK will hope Matheesha Pathirana is fit. He has conceded just seven runs in eight balls against Hardik Pandya, dismissing him once.
  • Mustafizur Rahman is CSK’s leading wicket-taker this season with an impressive nine scalps in four matches. However, three of those games have been at Chepauk, so it will be interesting to see how he adjusts.
  • In 14 T20s on this ground, Mustafizur has taken 11 wickets at an economy of 9.02 and strike rate of 29.27.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 38, MI 21, CSK 17.

  • Mumbai Indians have bowled just 173 dot balls. This is the second-fewest in the league this season.
  • CSK have the third-best economy rate at the death in IPL 2024 (9.85). MI have the third-worst at 12.31.

Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Pitch Report and Weather

KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: IPL 2024 28th Match | KKR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Today | Eden Gardens Pitch Report

It’s a Sunday afternoon treat for IPL fans. It is a clash of styles of sorts, with the hard-hitting Kolkata Knight Riders hosting the meticulous Lucknow Super Giants in a vital game to consolidate a top four spot.

KKR, after three straight wins, lost against CSK back on April 8. It has been a six-day wait to get back in action, and they return home where they hit 208 and won a thriller against SRH earlier in the year.

For LSG, they have a very quick turnaround after a defeat to the struggling Delhi Capitals. LSG’s batting template for home pitches will likely go out the window today in what is expected to be a belter of a surface at Eden Gardens, so it will be interesting to see their approach. They will certainly be encouraged by the way Ayush Badoni and Arshad Khan played to drag them from 94/7 to 167.

IPL 2024 28th Match: KKR vs LSG Possible Playing XIs

Nitish Rana and Harshit Rana have been training. They could both return today.

Kolkara Knight Riders: 1. Phil Salt (wk, OS), 2. Sunil Narine (OS), 3. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, 4. Venkatesh Iyer, 5. Shreyas Iyer (c), 6. Ramandeep Singh/Nitish Rana, 7. Andre Russell (OS), 8. Rinku Singh, 9. Mitchell Starc (OS), 10. Vaibhav Arora/Harshit Rana, 11. Varun Chakravarthy, 12. Suyash Sharma

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Angkrish Raghuvanshi/Suyash Sharma

For LSG, Devdutt Padikkal’s form is of huge concern. He has scored just 25 runs so far this season.

Lucknow Super Giants: 1. Quinton de Kock (OS), 2. KL Rahul (c & wk), 3. Devdutt Padikkal/Prerak Mankad/Deepak Hooda, 4. Marcus Stoinis (OS), 5. Nicholas Pooran (OS), 6. Krunal Pandya, 7. Ayush Badoni, 8. Ravi Bishnoi, 9. Arshad Khan, 10. Naveen-ul-Haq, 11. Yash Thakur, 12. M Siddharth

The most number of sixes in an IPL season by all teams

Cricket News: What is the most number of sixes hit in an IPL season by all teams combined?

The 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is on track to see the most sixes hit by all teams. A whopping 438 sixes were struck before the 27th match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals.

The six-per-match ratio of 16.85 is the highest in IPL history. The shift in approach by teams to power-hitting throughout the innings, brought on even more by the Impact Player rule, has seen this spike in numbers compared to the earlier years. Also, the skill of players continue to evolve, with young Indian batsmen emerging over the past few seasons in conjunction with the overseas stars.

Most number of sixes in total in a single IPL season

Currently, the most sixes hit in a season was in 2023. A whopping 1,124 sixes were struck, with 15.39 per match – the highest in a full season. The next-highest is 1,062 achieved the year before in 2022.

Here is a look at the number of sixes in each IPL season dating back to 2008.

NUMBER OF SIXESSIXES PER MATCHYEAR
1,12415.192023
1,06214.352022
87214.532018
78413.072019
73412.232020
7319.622012
71411.902014
70511.752017
69211.532015
68711.452021
6728.842013
6398.632011
63810.632016
62210.542008
5859.752010
5068.582009

If IPL 2024 continues on its current trajectory of 16.85 sixes per match, there will be a total of 1,247 sixes. The number of sixes that we may see could be anything, but there is no doubt that this season is odds on favourite to become the year where the most maximums are struck in a single IPL season.

PBKS vs RR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 27th Match | PBKS vs RR Dream11 Prediction Today | Mullanpur Pitch Report

The chemistry between last over thrillers and Punjab Kings has been a remarkable story over the years and IPL 2024 is no different. Punjab have won a couple and lost a couple of matches in last over of the game so far. Hence, they stand 8th in the points table with four points.

On the other hand, table toppers Rajasthan Royals has been the most formidable side of the tournament and they have won four out of five games.

In their respective previous games, it was a matter of just 2-3 runs for both teams. They will be seeking a bounceback as the season nears its halfway point. The battle of the young batters of Kings and experienced bowlers of Royals is all set to entertain the world in the 27th match of IPL 2024.

IPL 2024 27th Match: PBKS vs RR Possible XIs

Punjab Kings:

  • Prabhsimran Singh (109 runs in 71 balls) comes in the playing XI as impact substitute in every game but is yet to have his desired impact. Playing against RR, he has scored 62 at a strike rate of 172.

  • Sanju vs Arshdeep: 57 runs off 30 deliveries with 1 dismissal.

  • Hetmyer vs Sam Curran: 45 runs off 18 balls with 1 dismissal.

Is Virat Kohli batting too slow or do RCB have bigger issues?

IPL 2024 coverage: A look at Virat Kohli this season – is the star batsman batting too slow or do RCB have wider issues?

Do you know which players have never been let go by their IPL teams? Well, we’ve got you covered. They are Virat Kohli (RCB), Sachin Tendulkar (MI), MS Dhoni (CSK), Rishabh Pant (DC), and Sunil Narine (KKR). This demonstrates the high level of trust these teams have in their players and their skills, and the loyalty these players show to their teams.

Among the players mentioned above, Virat Kohli shines in his long-standing dedication to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Men’s IPL, despite the team still searching for their elusive first title.

Since joining in 2008, Kohli has set many records and weathered criticism. In the recent 19th match of IPL 2024 against Rajasthan Royals, Kohli scored 113 runs, his first century of the season. Along with this, another interesting IPL fact about Virat Kohli is, till now he has scored eight centuries, highest of all. However, his latest century’s slow strike rate sparked controversy, marking it as the “Slowest Century in the IPL”.

A Deep Look into Virat’s Slowest Century…

Along with amazing world records, trolls and controversies are not new to Virat Kohli. The latest is criticism aimed at the approach to his batting; namely for being selfish as he played 72 balls to score 113 runs at a strike rate of 156.92. This knock helped the team to reach 183, a score that most bowling attacks would make a fist of when defending.

Talking about his performance, Virat stated that as there was a lack of bounce and pace in the Jaipur surface. RR’s spinners capitalised and made it difficult for him to play his desired shots. Due to this, he thinks the total set by the team was effective.

However, they lost the match against RR as Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson played exceptionally, helping their team win. RCB then suffered their third defeat of the season, closely followed by a thumping at the hands of Mumbai Indians.

Reactions against Virat’s approach

After the loss to RR, RCB fans along with others were not happy with Kohli’s approach, with the belief that the Royals set the template on how to play on that surface.

Not only fans, but ex-cricketers like Virender Sehwag also criticised Virat’s innings. “I felt RCB scored about 20 runs less. About Virat Kohli, his knock was great, but there was nobody to support him,” he said speaking for Cricbuzz.

“Karthik did not come…so there were no big hitters to accompany him and those who came did not to work. Yes Kohli’s strike rate should have definitely increased because when you score 50 in 39 balls, then you tend to score at a quicker rate thereafter. The strike rate automatically then almost touches 200. He made a mistake there for sure,” he said.

Joining the crowd, Pakistan’s ex-player Junaid Khan also mocked Virat for his slow century. He shared a post on X:

While Kohli faced criticism from some, many others stood by him, praising his selfless attitude and acknowledging the immense pressure he faced to try lead his team to victory.

Here are some appreciation posts:

Opinion: RCB have bigger issues than Virat Kohli

However, whichever side you may be on regarding the Kohli debate, it is clear RCB have wider issues. Their bowling, predicted to be their weakness this season, has barely fired a shot. Mumbai Indians chasing down 197 in just 15.3 overs says it all. Kohli managed just three and was dismissed in the third over.

RCB conceded 176 in 18.4 overs to lose to CSK. KKR then made a mockery of their 182, chasing it with 19 balls to spare. Virat was then out early against LSG, but the rest of the batsmen couldn’t get to LSG’s 181 at the Chinnaswamy. Then, the less said about the bowling performances in the RR and MI games, the better.

Also, there have not been enough contributions from the others with the bat. In the innings against RR, the rest of the batsmen scored 59 off 48 balls. Glenn Maxwell, one of their big names, has mustered just 32 runs in five matches so far in IPL 2024. Cameron Green hasn’t fired, while the likes of Rajat Patidar and Faf du Plessis have shown glimpses at best.

Amid all the criticism, there are questions arising about Virat’s selection in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024. But before you form your own opinion, let’s check his performances in past T20 World Cups. Till now, Kohli has played 27 games, batting 25 times in T20 World Cups. Across these matches, he scored 1,141 runs at an average of 81.50 and strike rate of 131.30 with 14 fifties. His reliability and skill have made him indispensable for the Indian team in this format, consistently delivering strong performances.

Going forward for RCB, Virat may need to look to go even harder at the top to cater for the lack of bowling options. This cries out of a team that is imbalanced, with issues that should be of focus more than a player who has hit 319 runs in the first five games at an average of 79.75 and strike rate of 141.77.

LSG vs DC Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: IPL 2024 26th Match | LSG vs DC Dream11 Prediction Today | Lucknow Pitch Report

It’s desperation time for Delhi Capitals as they sit bottom of the IPL 2024 points table with one win and a net run rate of -1.370. They have conceded a whopping 506 runs in their past two matches against KKR and MI, and it doesn’t get any easier with a trip to Lucknow to face the in-form Lucknow Super Giants.

In addition to their bowling woes, DC have the lowest batting average of any team (23.25). Also, their average of 28.44 against spin is the second-worst in the league. So, they need a major turnaround to get a win here.

For LSG, focus is the name of the game. They have won three-straight matches, strangling Gujarat Titans last game thanks mainly to their spinners who combined for 4/48 off 10 overs along with Yash Thakur’s 5/30. Similar tactics may be implemented here.

IPL 2024 26th Match: LSG vs DC Possible Playing XIs

Justin Langer confirmed that Mayank Yadav will miss the next two games. Also, Mohsin Khan is in doubt due to hamstring soreness.

Lucknow Super Giants: 1. Quinton de Kock (OS), 2. KL Rahul (c & wk), 3. Devdutt Padikkal, 4. Marcus Stoinis (OS), 5. Nicholas Pooran (OS), 6. Ayush Badoni, 7. Krunal Pandya, 8. Ravi Bishnoi, 9. Yash Thakur, 10. Naveen-ul-Haq (OS), 11. Arshad Khan/Mohsin Khan, 12. M Siddharth

For Delhi, Kuldeep Yadav and Mitchell Marsh may miss this game due to injury. Tristan Stubbs may be elevated up the order after his superb innings against MI.

Delhi Capitals: 1. Prithvi Shaw, 2. David Warner (OS), 3. Tristan Stubbs (OS), 4. Rishabh Pant (c & wk), 5. Abhishek Porel, 6. Axar Patel, 7. Lalit Yadav, 8. Jhye Richardson (OS), 9. Anrich Nortje (OS), 10. Ishant Sharma, 11. Khaleel Ahmed, 12. Kumar Kushagra

Fantasy Cricket Tips for LSG vs DC: Key Players to Watch/Key Stats for the 26th Match of IPL 2024

Lucknow Super Giants:

  • Overall in his career, KL Rahul has scored 381 runs at an average of 29.31 and strike rate of 138.04.
  • Rahul has struck 43 off 25 balls against Anrich Nortje in T20s without dismissal.
  • Quinton de Kock missed out in the last game vs GT, but he struck two half-centuries in his previous matches, including 54 on this ground against PBKS.
  • Delhi Capitals have struggled at the death, so watch out for Nicholas Pooran. He is striking at 169.52 this season, which bumps up to 180 in the final four overs.
  • In domestic T20s, Pooran has scored 25 off 15 balls without dismissal against Nortje. He has also smashed 67 off 35 balls against Khaleel Ahmed (two dismissals).
  • Ravi Bishnoi has taken five wickets in three games against DC in the past two seasons (avg. 16.20, econ. 6.75). Bishnoi can be a handy pick in fantasy cricket given DC’s struggles against spin.
  • Bishnoi has dominated David Warner in the IPL: 16 balls, 11 runs, three wickets.
  • Yash Thakur is coming off 5/30 against GT. He took a wicket in the powerplay, two wickets in the middle overs and then two at the death to end the innings.

Delhi Capitals:

  • David Warner is crucial to DC’s chances. He strikes at just 98.44 in three matches against LSG, so he needs an improvement.
  • Warner has scored 39 off 26 (no dismissal) against Krunal Pandya.
  • Prithvi Shaw strikes at 156.00 in three matches against LSG, which includes a score of 61.
  • Tristan Stubbs was superb against MI, where he smashed 71* off 25 balls. How he adjusts to a slower pitch will be interesting to see as he strikes at 207 against spin this season.
  • Rishabh Pant is striking at 154.54 this season. Before the last game against MI, Pant hit two-straight fifties.
  • Khaleel Ahmed is key upfront for DC. The left-armer has dismissed KL Rahul once in 28 balls, conceding just 27 runs.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 3, LSG 3, DC 0.
  • Quinton de Kock has a combined average of 64.33 against Anrich Nortje, Axar Patel and Khaleel Ahmed in the IPL.
  • Marcus Stoinis has the fourth-most runs of any player on this ground: 9 inns, 222 runs, avg. 31.71, SR 138.75.
  • In 16 matches against DC, Krunal Pandya has hit 306 runs at an average of 38.25 and strike rate of 156.92. He has also taken 10 wickets at an economy of 7.10.

Hot, humid conditions are forecast.

MI vs RCB Twitter Reactions 2024: RCB trolled as Bumrah, Suryakumar dominate

Cricket News: Reactions to the MI vs RCB IPL 2024 clash at Wankhede Stadium, where MI won by seven wickets with 27 balls to spare

“I feel like from a batting perspective, we have to push for that 200,” said RCB captain Faf du Plessis in the post-match presentation. “We don’t have as many weapons in our bowling.”

However, even with 220, RCB may have struggled to contain a firing MI lineup, who sealed a second-straight win to get their IPL 2024 campaign up and running. They made extremely light work of what looked to be a competitive 196, reaching the target with seven wickets and a mammoth 27 balls to spare.

Dinesh Karthik, with his superb 23-ball 53*, was the standout on another disappointing night for RCB. Faf du Plessis did his best with a 40-ball 61, but he and his teammates had little answer to the magnificent Jasprit Bumrah, who finished with 5/21.

Bumrah’s bowling is a cheat code. The fast bowler executes at will, leaving batsmen clueless as to not only which delivery is coming, but how to deal with it. Karthik was left needing to attack the other bowlers as Bumrah conceded just 14 runs in his two death overs. RCB’s finisher did a mighty fine job, but 196 was nowhere near enough in the end.

First, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan took RCB apart with 101 in 8.5 overs with du Plessis a lone figure trying halt the carnage before his eyes. That carnage soon became utter chaos as Suryakumar Yadav tucked into the listless RCB bowling attack, smashing 52 off 19 balls to hand MI a handy net run rate boost.

MI vs RCB Reactions: Royal Challengers Bengaluru smashed again in IPL 2024

RCB fans disheartened and team trolled

Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and MI produce excellent performance

It doesn’t get any easier for RCB. Next up is Sunrisers Hyderabad at the batting-friendly Chinnaswamy. They then travel to Eden Gardens to face the powerful KKR followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad again away from home.

MI, who have won two straight games, host CSK in a blockbuster clash on Sunday.

MI vs RCB Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: IPL 2024 25th Match | MI vs RCB Dream11 Prediction Today | Wankhede Pitch Report

Buckle up for an epic encounter in IPL 2024 as one of the most awaited rivalries between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru is set to take place at Wankhede Cricket Stadium. Both sides are placed at the lower side of the points table at this very stage and need a win.

Mumbai Indians, after a hat trick of losses in the first three games, have finally found the right combination. Romario Shepherd made the difference in their last game. Today will be a test of whether MI have really arrived in this IPL given the amount of potential their XII has.

Whereas, familiar woes for RCB continued as they slipped to another loss in Jaipur last weekend. Nothing is going right for the red side except Kohli’s form who is single handedly carrying RCB’s batting lineup, scoring 39% of their runs this season. They really need to figure out a way to overcome their weaknesses, otherwise they will lag far behind in the race for the playoffs.

IPL 2024 25th Match: MI vs RCB Possible Playing XIs

Mumbai Indians: 1. Rohit Sharma, 2. Ishan Kishan (wk), 3. Suryakumar Yadav, 4. Tilak Varma, 5. Hardik Pandya (c), 6. Tim David (OS), 7. Mohammad Nabi (OS), 8. Romario Shepherd (OS), 9. Gerald Coetzee (OS), 10. Piyush Chawla/Shreyas Gopal, 11. Jasprit Bumrah, 12. Akash Madhwal

RCB are in search of their right combination and hence they may introduce Akash Deep for the first time this season.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 1. Virat Kohli, 2. Faf du Plessis (OS, c), 3. Rajat Patidar, 4. Cameron Green (OS), 5. Glenn Maxwell (OS), 6. Dinesh Karthik (wk), 7. Mahipal Lomror/Saurav Chauhan, 8. Reece Topley (OS), 9. Mayank Dagar/Vyshak Vijaykumar, 10. Mohammed Siraj, 11. Yash Dayal, 12. Akash Deep/Himanshu Sharma

Fantasy Cricket Tips for MI vs RCB: Key Players to Watch/Key Stats for the 25th Match of IPL 2024

Mumbai Indians:

  • Rohit Sharma (118 runs at 171 SR) is in stupendous form and is giving a flying start to MI innings in almost every game. He is following the T20 template in his own way and can be prove to be a menace if not dismissed early.
  • Playing against RCB at Wankhede, Rohit averages 47 with strike rate of 151 in nine innings.
  • It was a bit of an forgettable return for Suryakumar Yadav in the DC game but he will be motivated to get back to the form against RCB. He has scored 449 runs at an average of 37.4 against RCB.
  • Tilak Varma played a thunderous knock of 84 (46) against RCB in the previous season. He is also the top run scorer for his team thus far and would play a key role in the middle order.
  • Jasprit Bumrah completed his 150 wickets in IPL recently. He always adds unique value to whichever team he plays for with his wicket taking ability. He has scalped as many as 24 wickets so far bowling at an economy of just 7.6 against RCB.
  • Bumrah has dismissed Maxwell five times in just 37 balls, conceding 44 runs.
  • Romario Shepherd was the hero for MI in the last game as the Guyanese allrounder thumped 39 runs off just 10 deliveries, scoring 32 out of it in the last over only. He can also contribute with the ball.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

  • Orange Cap holder Virat Kohli loves playing at Wankhede where he averages 52. The 35-year-old is the most inform batsman in this IPL and is coming off a century in the last game against Royals.
  • Captain Faf du Plessis hasn’t had a great start but he has the quality to bounce back. Like his partner, he also likes to play at Wankhede. He has scored 640 runs at an average of 49 and strike rate of 132 at this venue.
  • Against Bumrah, Faf has scored 61 off 38 deliveries without getting dismissed.
  • The lack of batting form of Glenn Maxwell is one of the reasons that RCB is not doing well this season. The Big Show strikes at 197 playing against MI at Wankhede. Doing so, he has managed to score 179 just in 5 innings.
  • Cameron Green, who went to RCB from MI as a part of the biggest IPL deal pre-season, would back himself to come good at Wankhede as he averages 76 and strikes at 172 batting here. It will be interesting to see how he goes against his former side.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head to head: Matches 34, MI 20, RCB 14.
  • In last 7 matches: MI 2, RCB 5.
  • At Wankhede Stadium: Matches 10, MI 7, RCB 3.
  • Virat Kohli vs Jasprit Bumrah: 140 runs off 92 balls with four dismissals.
  • Dinesh Karthik vs Jasprit Bumrah: 61 runs off 35 balls with 0 dismissals
  • Virat Kohli vs Shreyas Gopal: 68 runs off 39 balls with 3 dismissals
  • Suryakumar Yadav vs Mohammed Siraj: 57 runs off 26 balls with 1 dismissal
  • Ishan Kishan vs Siraj: 50 runs off 40 balls with 2 dismissals
  • Among the players who haven’t represented MI, Faf du Plessis is the highest run scorer (631) at the Wankhede Stadium. 
  • Tim David vs RCB: Innings 2, Runs 4, balls 8, outs 2.
  • Tim David at Wankhede: Runs 288, Average 48, Strike Rate 196.

Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Pitch Report and Weather Report

Wankhede Stadium historically supports pacers overs spinners. In IPL 2024, this venue hosted two games in which pacers took 20 wickets whereas spinners were able to take just five. 

Dew plays a vital role so chasing teams should have an advantage. A high-scoring clash on the cards provided the pacers don’t find swing in the early overs like it did in the MI vs RR game.

Clear weather is the forecast.

RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2024 24th Match

RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: IPL 2024 24th Match | RR vs GT Dream11 Prediction Today | Jaipur Pitch Report

High-flying Rajasthan Royals are gunning for their fifth-straight win in IPL 2024. Sanju Samson’s team has been superb so far, with their balanced team coming to the fore. There have been contributions from different batsmen throughout, with their bowling attack also very efficient in all three phases of the innings.

Also, it’s remarkable that the Royals could have a 100% win rate without a meaningful contribution yet from the talented Yashasvi Jaiswal. If he gets going, that will make them even harder to beat.

Indeed, it’s a tough test for Gujarat Titans, who have won four out of five against RR. While the absence of Mohammed Shami is hurting them, they need more from their middle order which is lacking impact so far. Perhaps a few changes is the order of the day to ensure there is enough pressure put on the Royals’ well-rounded attack.

IPL 2024 24th Match: RR vs GT Possible Playing XIs

The Royals look settled. Gujarat, on the other hand, could look at some changes to bolster their middle order with David Miller still unlikely to play.

Rajasthan Royals: 1. Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2. Jos Buttler (OS), 3. Sanju Samson (c & wk), 4. Riyan Parag, 5. Shimron Hetmyer (OS), 6. Dhruv Jurel, 7. R Ashwin, 8. Trent Boult (OS), 9. Avesh Khan, 10. Nandre Burger (OS), 11. Yuzvendra Chahal, 12. Shubham Dubey

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Yuzvendra Chahal/Shubham Dubey

Gujarat Titans: 1. Shubman Gill (c), 2. Sai Sudharsan, 3. Kane Williamson/Matthew Wade/Wriddhiman Saha, 4. BR Sharath (wk), 5. Vijay Shankar/Shahrukh Khan, 6. Rahul Tewatia, 7. Rashid Khan (OS), 8. Darshan Nalkande, 9. Noor Ahmad (OS), 10. Umesh Yadav, 11. Spencer Johnson (OS), 12. Mohit Sharma

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Rahul Tewatia/Mohit Sharma
