GT vs SRH Twitter Reactions: Great Gill eliminates SRH

GT vs SRH Twitter Reactions: Great Gill eliminates SRH | Virat Kohli reaction to superb century by Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill’s swashbuckling century has helped knock the disappointing Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. GT defeated SRH by 34 runs as Gill powered the home side to 188 in the first innings on a deck that other batsmen struggled to get going on.

In the process, he brought up his maiden IPL ton in a year that is just turning out to be extremely special for the in-form batsman. Accordingly, he also carried on his brilliant run of performances in Ahmedabad, having earlier slammed a T20I and Test century in this ground as well.

GT vs SRH: Gill and bowlers eliminate disappointing SRH

Here are some of the most viral reactions on Twitter on Gill’s knock including from India teammate Virat Kohli. On Instagram, Kohli said “there’s potential and then there’s Gill. Go on and lead the next generation. God bless you, Shubman Gill.”

“I made my IPL debut against SRH and got my first hundred against them, so life has come a full circle. Hopefully many more to come. It’s all about the bowlers and situation and I don’t dwell much on my last innings. It is important to focus on the situation in front. The six off Abhishek Sharma was the most pleasing thing for me. I told him that if you bowl to me I’m gonna hit you for a six,” Gill said in the aftermath of the game.

Meanwhile, SRH have crashed out of the tournament after eight losses in 12 games. A revamped unit under a new skipper failed to take off with many key players like Mayank Agarwal, Harry Brook, Aiden Markram and Rahul Tripathi under-performing throughout the course of the campaign. They walked into the auction with the biggest purse and made several big-ticket acquisitions like those of Agarwal and Brook. But, the team failed to come together on multiple occasions with an apparent lack of clarity regarding the roles of several individuals.

GT have qualified for the playoffs again now and skipper Hardik Pandya praised his boys for showing up and performing well whenever the situation demanded them to.

“Very proud of the boys, two in two (making it to the playoffs twice in a row). The boys put their hands up and in challenging situations and we rightly deserve the playoff spot. There will be expectations and for me it was important to focus within the group,” Pandya said after the game.

LSG vs MI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 63 | LKN vs MI Dream11 Prediction Today | Lucknow Pitch Report

Here we go. Another crucial match in this magnificent playoffs’ race. Mumbai Indians (MI) have wowed millions with their batting in IPL 2023, led by the super Suryakumar Yadav. However, the big question is how their lineup, which thrives on true pitches, will cope on the slowest and most difficult surface to bat on this season.

This is what arguably gives Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) the edge today. However, it could backfire. LSG have struggled at home this season, with their own set of hard-hitting batsmen struggling to get going. Nicholas Pooran was at his damaging best on a slowish Hyderabad pitch on Saturday, so we can still witness a thrilling battle between two strong middle orders today.

So, the spinners have a vital role to play. Both teams sit in the top four, with the winning team today set to move to the brink of the playoffs. The loser will face a nervous week ahead with four other teams – RCB, RR, KKR and PBKS – all on 12 points. All to play for.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Lucknow Super Giants:

  • Quinton de Kock averages just 17.86 in seven matches against MI. But, he comes into this game with some good form having struck 70 and 29 in his last two IPL matches.
  • Can Marcus Stoinis overcome the spin threat? He is averaging just 11.2 with a strike rate of 96.6 in six innings at Lucknow this season.
  • Nicholas Pooran has also found the going tough at home this season. In six innings, the left-hander has hit 77 runs at an average of 15.4 and strike rate of 105.5.
  • Pooran smashed 44 off just 13 balls on a slowish Hyderabad pitch on Saturday. If he is there towards the death overs, watch out.
  • Krunal Pandya meets his former team today. The LSG all-rounder has picked up six wickets in 15 overs at Lucknow this season, conceding just 87 in the process.
  • Seven of Ravi Bishnoi’s 12 wickets this season have come at home. Against MI, Bishnoi has picked up seven wickets at an average of 22.43 and strike rate of 18.00.
  • Amit Mishra has dismissed Ishan Kishan three times in eight balls in the IPL. The legspinner has taken five for 53 runs in nine overs at Lucknow this season.

Mumbai Indians:

  • Ishan Kishan has struck the most runs in T20s at Lucknow. In five innings, the left-hander has scored 246 runs at an average of 61.50 and strike rate of 131.55. This includes a ton.
  • Suryakumar Yadav is back. He hit a world class hundred in his last match against GT, and easily has the best strike rate (190.83) among players with at least 200 runs this season. However, how he fares on a slow turner will be fascinating to see.
  • MI could look to use Piyush Chawla early. The legspinner has dismissed Quinton de Kock once in 13 balls at a strike rate of just 69.2.
  • Chawla has taken the third-most wickets this season (19). He should enjoy bowling on the Lucknow track.
  • Chris Jordan has a strong record against de Kock. In all T20s, Jordan has dismissed the left-hander four times for 45 runs in 33 deliveries.

GT vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 62

GT vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 62 | GT vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today | Ahmedabad Pitch Report

If Sunrisers Hyderabad’s season isn’t over yet, defeat today certainly means campaign over. It has been a disappointing tournament for one of the most promising teams on paper, regularly unable to close out matches. It was the case again on Saturday, succumbing to defeat at home to Lucknow when the game seemed to be in their hands.

To make matters more difficult, they travel away to top-of-the-table Gujarat Titans. GT will be aiming to make amends for their own disappointing performance at Mumbai, where they were well and truly outplayed with bat and ball. However, Rashid Khan’s excellent form is a great positive, and he will be keen for a big performance against his former franchise.

GT will pretty much confirm a top-two finish with victory here. SRH are hanging on by a fingernail and must win well to keep their ever-fading playoffs hopes alive. Form, pedigree and confidence says the Titans will win easily, but that’s not how the IPL works. Can SRH put up a fight and come away from Ahmedabad with a win?

CSK vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 61 | CHE vs KOL Dream11 Prediction Today | Chepauk Pitch Report

Six IPL titles between them. Two huge fanbases. Lots at stake, particularly for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The stage is set for a cracking Sunday night of IPL action, as the ever-present Chennai Super Kings (CSK) look to seal their playoffs’ berth.

CSK have been strong for most of the season, and they are really beginning to hit their straps now as the business end of the season approaches. They brushed aside both Mumbai and Delhi with ease at home over the past week, and they will be looking to do the same against a team they’ve had the better of in recent times.

No CSK player scored more than 25 in their last outing against DC, but they still won with ease. The sheer depth in options is something KKR must overcome in this game, where they need a much-improved performance than what they dished up on Thursday against the Royals. Lots rests on the likes of Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy and Jason Roy, but others need to deliver as well.

Match Details

  • Date: May 14, 2023.
  • Location: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai.

  • Venkatesh Iyer is KKR’s leading run-scorer this season (371) at an average of 30.91 and strike rate of 143.79. The usually slower Chepauk pitch should suit him nicely as he has struggled against bounce at times.
  • Rinku Singh when chasing in the IPL: 12 inns, 334 runs, avg. 47.7, SR 165.3.
  • The in-form Varun Chakravarthy (17 wickets this season) has a huge role to play for KKR. He has often kept Gaikwad quiet, conceding just 29 off 33 balls against him with one dismissal.

  • Yashasvi Jaiswal is in the form of his life. He recently smashed the fastest fifty in IPL history. The southpaw has 575 runs at a fantastic average of 52.27 and a strike rate of 167.15 in IPL 2023. Expect him to add more to his tally against RCB.
  • Sanju Samson has played three decent knocks in the last three games and looked in good nick overall. In Jaipur, Sanju has 513 runs at an average of 30.17 and a strike rate of 136.43 in the IPL.
  • Ravichandran Ashwin has been among the wickets in this edition of the Indian Premier League. In the 12 innings, Ashwin has 14 wickets at a strike rate of 19.28 and an economy rate of 7.44 thus far. His batting can also fetch a few points.
  • Trent Boult has 16 wickets at a strike rate of 16.12 and an economy rate of 8.34 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. He can again trouble RCB batters, particularly with the new ball.
  • Yuzvendra Chahal is the best bowler in Rajasthan Royals. In the 12 matches, Chahal has snared 21 wickets at a strike rate of 12.80 and an economy rate of 7.91 in IPL 2023. He will look to make an impact again against his former IPL franchise.

  • Mohammed Siraj has fallen off the radar in the last few matches, as he hasn’t been able to pick up wickets as consistently. However, Siraj is a quality bowler and can dismiss a few batters, especially in the powerplay.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 28, RR 12, RCB 14, NR 2.
  • Glenn Maxwell vs Yuzvendra Chahal in T20s: 147 runs, 85 balls, 172.94 SR & 5 dismissals. Another intriguing contest is well on the cards.
  • Sanju Samson vs Wanindu Hasaranga in T20s: 40 runs, 43 balls, 93.02 SR & 6 dismissals. No other bowler has dismissed him as many times in this format.
  • Faf du Plessis vs Trent Boult in the IPL: 88 runs, 80 balls, 110 SR & 3 dismissals.
  • Faf du Plessis needs 21 more runs to complete 4000 IPL runs.

SRH vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 58

SRH vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 58 | SRH vs LKN Dream11 Prediction Today | Hyderabad Pitch Report

It’s now or never for Sunrisers Hyderabad. They sit in ninth place, but the closeness of the table means that four wins in their final four matches can see them qualify to the playoffs. After a disappointing defeat to KKR last week, Hyderabad then pulled off their own heist thanks to Glenn Phillips and co. against the Royals.

However, whether they can back this up is the key. It won’t be easy against the talented Lucknow Super Giants, who themselves have a lot at stake as well. They sit on 11 points, but their margin for error is shrinking with a number of challengers right behind them. So, how they bounce back after last week’s thrashing at the hands of Gujarat will be interesting to see.

The questions ahead of this game will make for tantalising viewing. Can Aiden Markram find form to add to a very exciting SRH middle order? What kind of platform can their top order provide? With regards to LSG, can they find some all-important momentum after two losses and a no-result in their past three games? Can their spinners outdo SRH’s batting lineup?

On a hot day in Hyderabad, things can heat up very quickly both literally and figuratively.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad Pitch Report and Weather

The average first innings score at Hyderabad is on the lower side (170.6) compared to some other grounds in IPL 2023. The team batting first has won three of the five matches, with SRH mucking up their past two chases against DC and KKR respectively. So, chasing may be a tad tricky in this day game.

A very hot and mostly clear afternoon is forecast, with temperatures to exceed 40 degrees.

IPL 2023 playoffs qualification scenarios for each team

Cricket News: IPL 2023 playoffs qualification scenarios for each team | IPL qualification scenarios: which teams will make playoffs?

The playoffs race has been heating up in the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). After the 56th league game, which was between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR), only four points separate the third-placed Rajasthan Royals (RR) with the bottom-placed Delhi Capitals (DC). Rarely has the league come across such a middle muddle.

Often, one sees that franchises progress to the playoffs on the final day with what is largely perceived as an inadequate number of points courtesy other results turning in their favour and due to net run rate (NRR). For example, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) qualified to the playoffs in IPL 2019 with only 12 points to their name! Here, we take a look at the qualification scenarios for each of the 10 teams.

IPL 2023 Playoff Qualification Scenarios

1. Gujarat Titans

Played – 11, Points 16, NRR +0.951

Remaining Matches: Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore

Gujarat Titans (GT) have more or less secured qualification, having reached to 16 points already with three games in hand.  Another win will most likely pave their way to the top four but the aim from here must be ensure that they do not slip down from the first two spots in the standings.

2. Chennai Super Kings

Played – 12, Points 15, NRR +0.493

Remaining Matches: Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals

Chennai Super Kings, much like GT, need another win to seal a top-four spot. They will be hosting KKR at home and then tour the struggling DC at the national capital for their final league game. As of now, two of the four spots in the points table seem to be confirmed so far.

3. Rajasthan Royals

Played – 12, Points 12, NRR +0.633

Remaining Matches: Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings

RR need to win the last two games to be sure of a place in the last four. They stormed back into form by beating KKR in style on Thursday but need to ensure that they take four points from the remaining two games to have qualms of their qualification chances.

4. Mumbai Indians

Played – 11, Points 12, NRR -0.255

Remaining Matches: Gujarat Titans, Lucknow Super Giants, Sunrisers Hyderabad

Mumbai have a better prospect of making it to the semifinals as compared to Rajasthan, given that they have an additional game in hand. They can afford to lose once and still qualify by winning the other two matches. However, their NRR is a bit problematic at this stage and hence they should rely more on getting the required wins and making it through rather than ousting other teams basis NRR.

5. Lucknow Super Giants

Played – 11, Points 11, NRR +0.294

Remaining Matches: Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have 11 points in 11 matches but they can still get to 17 if they win the remaining three games. 17 will be enough to see them through to the next round as only MI can finish with more points outside of CSK and GT. However, a minor slip up in even one of the games might see them embroiled with other teams with the NRR coming into the equation in such a case.

6. Royal Challengers Bangalore

Played – 11, Points 10, NRR -0.345

Remaining Matches: Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have a tough challenge in their hands with only a victory in all of the remaining games realistically taking them through to the playoffs by their own. In any other scenario, they will need to be sure that their NRR beats that of their close competitors in the points table.

7. Kolkata Knight Riders

Played – 12, Points 10, NRR – -0.357

Remaining Matches: Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are in a precarious spot right now. Even if they beat CSK and LSG, they will get to only 14 at the end of the league stage. Their NRR is not the best right now and will need some massive victories to ensure that they get through eventually, as well as hope other results go their way.

8. Punjab Kings

Played – 11, Points 10, NRR – -0.441

Remaining Matches: Delhi Capitals, Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals

Punjab Kings (PBKS) are relatively better poised than KKR to qualify. They will get to 16 in the best case scenario and they have to play the struggling Delhi Capitals (DC) twice, which can work in their favour. PBKS vs RR will be an interesting game to watch out for if both teams are still in the race for qualification until then.

9. Sunrisers Hyderabad

Played 10, Points 8, NRR -0.472

Remaining Matches: Lucknow Super Giants, Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians

Despite being at the penultimate spot in the table, SRH can very well qualify on their own as they can optimistically get to 16 points by winning the rest of the four games. It is a far-fetched thought currently as they have won only two of their last five games. However, the team should be backing themselves at this stage to do the unthinkable and roar into the top four. Such a turnaround will that be!

10: Delhi Capitals

Played – 11, Points 8, NRR -0.605

Remaining Matches: Punjab Kings, Punjab Kings, Chennai Super Kings

DC must win their last three games to stand any chance of a remarkable comeback. Even then, their net run rate may have taken too much of a hit to qualify with seven wins.

BBL to have lower number of matches from 2023/24

Cricket News: BBL to have lower number of matches from 2023/24 season | Big Bash League season reduced to 44 games

The men’s Big Bash League (BBL) will have fewer matches in the 2023/24 season, one year before the new TV rights deal comes into play. There will be 44 matches in total from the upcoming season (40 home-and-away games & four finals), down from 61.

The BBL has often come for criticism in recent years. The move to a full home-and-away season, combined with the reduced availability of international stars, has led to reduced quality at stages and viewer fatigue. Crowds were down as the league took up more days on the calendar compared to any other league except the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Alistair Dobson, Cricket Australia’s general manager of Big Bash Leagues, said that the move to have a shorter season can allow for quality over quantity.

“A shortened BBL will allow us greater flexibility to ensure we can deliver the best possible fixture for clubs and fans, while providing a platform that allows players to continue to produce the world-class levels of cricket we’ve seen over the duration of the tournament,” he said.

WBBL to remain at 59 games

There will be no change to the number of matches in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). This season’s WBBL 09 will remain a 59-game season, with three finals included.

“Whilst no changes have been made to the WBBL schedule, it’s vital that we make sure the tournament continues to be at the forefront of T20 Leagues as the global women’s game continues to evolve at a rapid rate,” said Dobson.

BBL matches – the key changes

  • Move from 61 matches to 44 matches (including all finals)
  • Top four will qualify for the playoffs, instead of five
  • Retention window in May for BBL and WBBL clubs to re-sign up to 12 and 10 players respectively

There will be another BBL draft this season. The WBBL will have its first. They are both expected to take place in September.

MI vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 57 | MI vs GT Dream11 Prediction Today | Wankhede Pitch Report

Two strong chasing teams meet in a clash where the winner will further cement their spot in the top four. In fact, Gujarat Titans can confirm their passage to the playoffs after what has been another terrific league stage, rarely ever getting dominated in a great show of consistency. Now standing in their way are five-time champions Mumbai Indians who will be seeking to thrill once again after breaking into the top four courtesy mainly of Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliance.

Gujarat belted Mumbai earlier this season thanks to an excellent all-round display. However, MI have come a long way since, highlighting their prowess in three consecutive successful 200+ chases. Whether MI can win when batting first remains a question, whereas the Titans absolutely demolished LSG batting first and RR by nine wickets before that.

Wankhede Stadium has been a belter for batting this season. MI’s attack, who showed good signs against RCB, will sure to be tested once again. GT will be after another all-round display to seal a second-straight top-two finish.

Match Details

  • Date: Friday 12th May, 2023.
  • Location: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
  • Time: 7:30pm (IST).

IPL 2023 Match 57: MI vs GT Possible Playing XIIs

MI may elevate Suryakumar Yadav to number three again should the situation require it.

Mumbai Indians (possible impact player in bold italic): 1. Ishan Kishan (wk), 2. Rohit Sharma (c), 3. Suryakumar Yadav, 4. Nehal Wadhera/Tilak Varma, 5. Cameron Green (OS), 6. Tim David (OS), 7. Chris Jordan (OS), 8. Piyush Chawla, 9. Jason Behrendorff (OS), 10. Kumar Kartikeya, 11. Akash Madhwal/Arjun Tendulkar, 12. Arshad Khan

GT look relatively settled.

Gujarat Titans (possible impact player in bold italic): 1. Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 2. Shubman Gill, 3. Hardik Pandya, 4. Vijay Shankar, 5. David Miller (OS), 6. Abhinav Manohar, 7. Rahul Tewatia, 8. Rashid Khan (OS), 9. Mohit Sharma, 10. Mohammed Shami, 11. Noor Ahmad (OS), 12. Alzarri Joseph

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Mumbai Indians:

  • Suryakumar Yadav has rediscovered his mojo. He has been magnificent when chasing this season, hammering 327 runs at an average of 46.7 and superb strike rate of 205.7.
  • Surya will sure take on Rashid Khan. In 37 balls, Yadav has struck 50 runs against the star legspinner without dismissal.
  • Ishan Kishan played more than an able hand in the last game against RCB (42 off 21 balls). He has never been dismissed by Mohammed Shami in 42 deliveries, but strikes at just 100 against him. Key battle.
  • Nehal Wadhera has struck two half-centuries in a row (64 vs CSK and 52* vs RCB). The left-handed option in the middle can be key in thwarting GT’s quality attack.
  • Jason Behrendorff was superb in the powerplay against RCB. He finished with 3/36. The left-armer will be key against the likes of the in-form Shubman Gill.
  • Piyush Chawla is having a terrific season (17 wickets) but doesn’t have the best of records at Wankhede. In 14 matches on this ground, Chawla has taken ten wickets at an average of 35.80 and strike rate of 28.70.

Gujarat Titans:

  • MI need Shubman Gill out early. Otherwise the GT opener, who hit 94* in his last innings, can wreak havoc on this batting-friendly ground.
  • Gill hit a 34-ball 52 against MI earlier this season. Overall, Gill has hit 274 runs at an average of 30.44 and strike rate of 134.98 vs the five-time IPL champions.
  • Wriddhiman Saha smashed 81 off 43 balls in his last match against LSG. The keeper-batsman has a good career record against MI: 15 inns, 409 runs, avg. 37.18, SR 127.41.
  • Saha has struck 100 off 61 against Piyush Chawla in the IPL. He has been dismissed thrice.
  • Hardik Pandya returns to the Wankhede. He has scored the fifth-most runs on this ground (918) at an average of 34.00 and strike rate of 133.24.
  • Hardik also has 35 wickets at a strike rate of 20.60 on this ground. He dismissed Rohit earlier this year, so the GT captain can try his hand in the powerplay once again.
  • Since the start of 2022, David Miller has hit 400 runs when chasing in the IPL at an average of 133.3 and strike rate of 150.9.
  • Mohammed Shami has enjoyed success on this ground. In ten innings, he has picked up 18 wickets at an economy of 7.76 and strike rate of just 12.67.
  • Shami has dismissed Rohit twice in 51 balls, whilst conceding just 57. He has also dismissed Suryakumar once in 14 balls (21 runs).

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 2, MI 1, GT 1.
  • Five of MI’s six wins this season have come when chasing.
  • Tim David has smashed nine fours and 21 sixes in 99 deliveries at Wankhede Stadium.
  • David Miller’s record at Wankhede: 16 inns, 377 runs, avg. 31.42, SR 135.13.
  • Rashid Khan vs Mumbai Indians: 12 matches, 14 wickets, avg. 20.00, econ. 5.83.
