#RR plays Tanush Kotian in place of Ashwin. He’s a spinner who bats a bit. He’s not given the ball at all. But then he comes to open the inns, which he has never done before. Samson says it was done because they didn’t want to change the batting order. Is it some sort of comedy?

Pathirana is feeling better than what we thought initially. If not tomorrow, he should be okay to play the next game: Stephen Fleming! #IPL2024 #MIvCSK

73 metres is now considered a “very, very long boundary”! The times we live in are just not meant for bowlers. Boards want to make money and they somehow think only batters hitting sixes and fours can do it for them. Sad but true. #IPL2024 #LSGvsDC

Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma having a friendly banter after Karthik hit six off Bumrah’s last ball! #IPL2024 #MIvRCB

Watching Jasprit Bumrah bowl from the ground is a sight to behold. He’s just so much involved in the game; always focused and very clear about what he wants to do. He bowls absolutely rippers almost every over and batters just look to survive somehow. #IPL2024 #MIvRCB

He is up and running now, fortunately for #MI !

Gerald Coetzee hurts his head while trying to save the boundary; whole #MI team rushes to him. Hope he is fine. #IPL2024 #MI vRCB

All roads leading to Wankhede are jammed. Trains are full. It is madness outside the stadium. Not even half of it was there in the first two matches! #IPL2024 #MIvRCB

Rashid Khan is the definition of a perfect T20 player. He bowls magic, is one of the quickest on the field and can win you matches with the bat too. If he ever enters the IPL Auction, the banks will break. The hall of fame for T20s should be named as Rashid Khan Award! #IPL2024

Saw Kuldeep Sen work really hard on his bowling in build-up to the last match. He was bowling non-stop in nets and talking a lot to Shane Bond. He has improved a lot and is bowling beautifully in his first match of #IPL2024 . #RRvGT

Craze for #RCB even in Mumbai! A huge number of fans waiting outside the stadium to get a glimpse of the #RCB bus! #MIvRCB

A domestic coach who’s so highly rated didn’t like Ashutosh Sharma just because he didn’t fit his dictionary of a good player. But here he is proving his worth to the world in some style. Coaches should acknowledge that they can’t be right all the time. #IPL2024 #PBKSvSRH

No doubt Rishabh Pant is a great player and has already done a lot for India but his T20I record is just not good enough. He averages 22 & strikes at 126 in 66 T20Is, which is extremely below par. India needs better T20 players to win the #T20WorldCup , not just star names!

That was an eventful last over. Romario Shepherd is at his very best. But unfortunately, his first six hit a child in the crowd; seemed okay though and was taken to medics. The third one was caught in the crowd and celebrated in some style. #IPL2024 #MIvDC

An extremely poor knock by Hardik Pandya! He struggled throughout on a good wicket. #IPL2024 #MIvDC

Day game but the crowd is almost same as last the game! #IPL2024 #MIvDC

I understand other #RCB batters have been extremely poor but nothing can justify this slow knock. Virat Kohli has to score runs at a better strike rate. This format demands it. Not just runs but quick runs matter more in T20s. #IPL2024 #RRvRCB

Yuzvdendra Chahal has to be in India’s #T20WorldCup squad! He is bowling brilliantly and other leg-spinners haven’t really been able to make an impact as such! #IPL2024 #RRvRCB

“Losing three matches doesn’t mean much. We will come back strongly and qualify for finals,” #MI ’s Naman Dhir in pre-match PC! #IPL2024 #MI vDC

Time for Rajasthan Royals to unveil Abid Mushtaq against #RCB today or is it too early? #IPL2024 #RRvRCB
