He's not frontline bowler and not specialist batter, he's an allrounder and freaking good one but in a long run, even good allrounder can't replace specialists. For example he has fixed role of finisher with the bat but trouble is waiting for you if he has ambition of batting as specialist batter.

Tactical decisions are alright and part of the game but you can't say ki " main captain hun, mujhe sab aata hai aur sab main hi karunga" despite knowing that it's not necessary for the team.

Bro, I'd rate Hardik as a quality batter and a better batter than many 'specialist batters'; not so fan of his bowling, sure but even there he's decent.

He's perfect as he is and don't have to change even one bit and honestly I think, once he retires, his shoe won't be easy to fill. In 2023 ODIWC too, his absence was felt.

Lol, I lowkey, love his arrogance.

Edit: Bruh, I had bet on Cam Green to hit 0 six, turned out well xD

Royal Challengers Bangalore gave an incredible performance once again. To be honest, I didn't imagine that they would be able to score 250 runs for just three wickets at the beginning, but Timothy Hays David played a huge strong innings of 70 runs in just 25 balls, due to which Royal Challengers Bangalore got a good boost towards the last. Even I would say that Rajat Patidar and Devdutt Padikkal also contributed here.

I wouldn't say they did well in terms of bowling because it was a batting friendly pitch, so I would say their bowling performance is good, but their batsmen contributed more to winning this match.

Win of RCB was masterpiece in hard hitting, and this shows that their new way to score fast and not bat slowly is finally working. Tim David was real star, he scored stunning 70 out of 25 balls to take total to amazing 250/3. Although ground was extremely easy for batters, bowlers of RCB were very controlled and used tricks such as wide yorkers so as to force other team to make mistake when score was piled on them. However, in my opinion, RCB has finally answered riddle of the Chinnaswamy problem by building team that can just score more than any fielding errors made by their bowlers. If this all out attack is kept up, they can do more than just reach next round, but they can even win whole contest with their smooth shift of top to middle order.

In Indian Primer League Rajasthan Royals defeated Gujarat Titans by 6 scores. Rajasthan opens inning first with Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi and both the openers was in goor form and gives a good start to the team and Jaiswal played a very aggressive knock of 55 runs and also played a well knock of 31 runs and in middle order Dhruv Jurel played very useful knock and put a great impact by scoring 75 runs and also Shimron Hetmyer scores 18 runs and at the end of the innings Rajisthan set a very strong target of 211 runs. Gujarat Titans opens inning with Sai Sudharsan and Kumar Kushagra and both the openers gives a very positive start to the team and Sudharsan played a very useful innings of 73 runs while chasing the target and also Kushagra scores 18 runs and in middle order Jose Butler played a well knock of 26 runs and after that the batting order of Titans was panicked and nobody can stay on wicket for a long Partenership and in tough situation only Rashid Khan played a good knock of 24 runs and Gujarat can't  chase the target and scores only 204 runs at the end of the innings and Rajasthan won the game

KKR chose to bat first in the third game at Kolkata after losing two games. Now they are in a must-win race for having something to cheer about in this season, but rain stopped this match. Rain is heavier at Eden Garden this is going to be a problem for them.

In the first two games, their bowling was never on track, which always hurt them badly. In this game today, they lost a few early wickets, which gave good favour to PBKS. They are looking for their third win after having good wins in their previous games. Finn Allen and Cameron Green already departed thanks to Xavier Bartlett.

As things are going currently, most likely both teams will have shared points, still we have to wait for the updates in a few minutes.

I also rate him highly as batter but for only at 5,6 and 7 and not at number 4. To give you an example, in 50 overs likes of kohli, kane, root, smith filled this slot for their respective teams and in t-20 SKY, AB devilliers.

Yeah, he's high quality and top tier all rounder and will be big loss once he retires. He was also big miss in 2023 odi wc finals because of his injury against Bangladesh. Hope he keep respecting his body because we need him 100% fit for 2027 odi wc.

Rawalpindiz Vs Multan Sultans

Muhammad Ismail had a single wicket on his first over, but then, in his second over, he made a disaster three; he totally delivered all the momentum to Rawalpindi in that over. He had two fours and 1 six so in total it is 14. And then after that, when the next fifth over starts, of course, Pindiz would not want to lose the momentum. That is why they start the next over with a great four, but on the very next ball, Multan Sultan got a wicket, and it was the action of the game. Till now they have made 120 runs, pretty good run rate but Multab have already lost 5 wickets.

Looks like Kolkata are about to get away with it thanks to rain interference. Lucky KKR! They were struggling after Xavier's consecutive blows and Punjab clearly were in the lead. Am actually surprised by such heavy rains when it's peak summer there currently.

1 point to each it is. Also, I am enjoying the Gill Pixel ads which are kinda hilarious. Boman makes Gill seem like some sort of pet. Lol!

Kolkata Knight Riders' game has already been called off due to rain but their batting performance is not that great today. KKR has lost two opening batsmen Cameron Green and Finn Allen which is a bit of a weakness for them. KKR could not show their batting performance very well in the beginning, but today PBKS team's bowling performance is very good.
Xavier Bartlett's bowling is very strong and he is bowling with excitement which is making it difficult for KKR batsmen to survive. Moreover, if KKR team cannot score a big target in this match today, then this match will also have to be played even though the match is now called off due to rain. If the match is resumed then their chances of winning against Punjab Kings will be very less.

Actually, I don't know how to define the state of Kolkata Knight Riders team im season this year. Not only is their performance not good, but now matches are being delayed due to rain. It is also possible that the match is being canceled due to rain.

But I would like to agree with your opinion the starting of Kolkata Knight Riders is not like really well even if they continue like this then there is a possibility to stop around 170 run and I think that is very average run on this batting friendly ground. So in a way, it would actually be good for Kolkata Knight Riders if this match is cancelled due to rain. At least they will get 1 point.

Sam Billings was not at the end of the inning and he played very aggressive inning in this match because he played with strike rate of 182 and played in a crucial time when that was need of the team because they gave back to back wickets which made pressure on that team. Sam Billings hit 1 six and 7 fours in this match and he was a person who played in death overs and they lose 8 wickets before that . No other player played with excellent strike rate and that is reason they are dependent on their bowling as pitches are batting friendly ,so there are very less chances of win of Rawalpindi cricket team because they have Amir which is giving more runs as we did not expect from experienced bowler .

In this match Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings were playing against each other.To show the strength and winning of both Punjab Kings have played two matches so far and they have win both the matches brilliantly.On the other hand Knight Riders have not won any match yet and are weaker than all the teams.Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss first and made the wrong decision by batting and their performance was not impressive either.Looking at it we can say that they might have won the match.Punjab Kings is playing a very great league and has already inclined itself towards success.If Kolkata Knight Riders does not play well in the next few matches then there are more chances of them being out of the league so their next  match is very important.

Multan Sultans in winning position at that moment because they just needs 38 runs from just 37 balls. Their chances of winning the match is high because required runs rate is under control of Multan Sultans batters. In last 5 overs Multan Sultans played very aggressively scoring 63 runs with run rate of 12 plus and lost only 2 wickets. Multan Sultans current score is 145 runs in a losso fo 3 wickets in 14th over of the match. Rawalpindiz disappointed performance so for in this PSL session because lost their first three matches and lost this one also. Mohammad Amir bowl really well in this match picked 2 important wickets and doing well for Rawalpindiz but no other bowlers picked wickets that the reason they lost matches.

At the start, we had a great bowling spell by every individual bowler, especially Muhammad Nawaz, with a three-wicket haul, and at the same time, he took crucial wickets that were so important. While Arafat Minhas did even better, he was good in the sense of giving good spells with defensive bowling and also with his powerful skill of confusing the batter and making him make mistakes, which led to him getting a couple of wickets.
Multan Sultans are winning the match against Quetta Gladiators by good six wickets.

Sahibzada Farhan and Steven Smith is one of the best opening pairs because both of them always gave amazing start to the team. On one end, Farhan always tries to deal within boundaries while Steven Smith played balanced cricket, also prefers to run between the wickets and this approach leads them to be superb, becoming a nightmare for the opponent teams. At the same time, Shan Masood has been playing well in his recent games and playing T20i cricket.

RR vs MI tomorrow and I was surprised to see 2.4 odds for RR, so I took it. I personally find RR to be strong team this season, and this looked steal. Let's see how it goes.

I think that sportsbookies have set odds based on last year's Indian Premier League performance, otherwise, in my opinion, these odds should have been reversed for Mumbai Indians because the Rajasthan Royals team has been performing well since the beginning of this season.

Because I personally think that Rajasthan Royals team is a little stronger than Mumbai Indians this time and at the same time if we look at Mumbai Indians' previous batting performance then if they have the same in this match then they can lose to Rajasthan.

From what I have seen so far, Rajasthan Royals has the most balanced team in this IPL so far. The only thing I don't like about Royals is that they have nepokid Riyan Parag as the captain. But still, they are far ahead of others. RR played two matches so far and although the second match was a bit tight, they absolutely squashed the Chennai Super Kings in their first match. The opening ball combo of Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger is doing wonders for RR. And then they have Brijesh Sharma and Sandeep Sharma as the backup pacers. The two spinners (Ravi Bishnoi and Ravindra Jadeja) have also done a decent job so far.

Exactly Sahibzada Farhan and Steven Smith of Multan Sultans are perfect Fire and Ice pair since they are able to score fast and play smart. Farhan is aggressive hitter, who uses first overs to find boundary mostly, while Smith remains calm and keeps score moving by running in between wickets. This mix creates situation which is extremely difficult to help bowlers get into steady flow with extra chance of either being hit for runs by Farhan or seeing Smith change strike in every direction. In meantime, Shan Masood has also improved his game much to national team, where he is more active and has higher scoring speed in his recent games.

It is nice to see Steven Smith and David Warner getting comfortable in the PSL. Warner got to a half-century against the Pindiz in his last match, while Smith did that against Gladiators a few days ago. Overall, Multan Sultans are doing good in the batting department. During the last match, Sahibzada Farhan and Josh Philippe added 110 runs for the second wicket, while in the previous match it was the turn of Farhan and Smith (71 runs for the first wicket). Down the order, they have Shan Masood, Arafat Minhas and Ashton Turner. Overall, one of the strongest batting line-ups in this season of the PSL.

This should be one heck of an encounter considering the explosive firepower both of them pack. Vaibhav is the top dog of RR while Rohit looks like the top dog of MI currently. Great to see Rohit lose weight and performing consistently well with the bat.

Also, I do agree that the bookies messed up since the match is taking place in RR's home ground and I am pretty confident they will end up winning thanks to their batting lineup primarily.
