After that Mayank went out of the field due to side strain problem. After this, Thakur gave the first success to Lucknow by dismissing the in-form Shubman Gill on the last ball of the sixth over. Finally, by the time he finished his spell, the young bowler completed the haul of five wickets for 30 runs in 3.5 overs and GT was all out for 130 runs. Yash received the Player of the Match award for this brilliant performance. After receiving the Player of the Match award, Yash Thakur revealed the advice he received from captain KL Rahul. “Once Mayank left, Rahul sir told me that this could be my day and I could win the match for the team,” he said in the post-match press conference. “He told me to support myself and support what I can control instead of worrying about what I can’t control.” Let us tell you that, Lucknow Super Giants registered their third consecutive win and now come at number 3 in the IPL 2024 points table after Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders.

“They have very talented players to choose from”- RCB head coach on Virat’s T20 World Cup selection
Virat Kohli played a brilliant century against Rajasthan Royals on 6th April, which everyone is praising at the moment. But he is also being criticized a lot for the strike rate at which he scored his century. After seeing this inning of his, now there is only one question in everyone’s mind whether he will get a place in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup to be held in June. Now RCB coach Andy Flower has given his opinion on this issue. Speaking about India’s T20 World Cup selection, the RCB coach said that, he does not know what the Indian selectors are thinking at the moment. However, he further said that, Kohli is currently on top among the players available for selection for this ICC event to be held in June. Andy Flower said, “Virat Kohli is a great player and the brilliant innings he played today was excellent. And it was actually really beautiful to see. I really won’t comment on the selection of the Indian team. I don’t know what they’re thinking. They have very talented players to choose from, you know, the team doesn’t have a better player than Virat Kohli in terms of experience.” The RCB coach was highly critical of the team’s batting performance as he felt that Kohli and captain Faf du Plessis failed to utilize the start they had given the team. Flower believes that the team started well with the ball but their momentum ended in the last over of the powerplay. He said, “To be honest, we were a little light in scoring runs. Given the head start we had, I felt that way. So if you look at the 12th over, I think we were at 107 without losing any wicket. I think we should have done that, after being in that position on a good pitch, we should have gone beyond 200, but it did not happen. We started well with the ball, Topli and Yash made a great start but the momentum went in their favor in the last over of the powerplay.

SRH head coach Tom Moody praised Pat Cummins’ captaincy. “One thing I like about Cummins is that he is a bit like MS Dhoni,” Tom Moody was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. He’s willing to make a decision that most people don’t think about but that makes you feel like ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ The most special thing in today’s match was that while bowling, Cummins got the first over bowled by Abhishek Sharma instead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Moody appreciated this new thinking of Cummins. The head coach also admitted that Cummins tries to take some different decision all the time, due to which the team gets good results on some occasions. He said, “Like Abhishek Sharma. It was quite a strange decision when you look at the other options they could have gone with. You definitely have the best new ball bowler in IPL history in Bhuvneshwar Kumar. You have an off-spinner against a left-handed batsman. You think Markram or another bowler could have bowled that over, but he was committed to it and seemed to have convinced himself that it was the right decision.”

“He has always told me to take the match till the end as much as possible” – Shashank got Gurumantra from Dhoni
MS Dhoni and Shashank Singh (Photo source: Despite playing for many franchises in the IPL, Shashank Singh could never make a name for himself in this league.

My Khel quoted Shashank as saying, “Whenever I have spoken to Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni), he has always told me to take the match till the end as much as possible. He said that when you take the game deeper, there is equal pressure on the bowler as on the batsman. It’s about who keeps the nerves calm. It’s all about the mental thing of staying as calm as possible.. I was taking deep breaths to keep myself calm and react to the ball. Sometimes you become over-smart and play shots in a hurry, but I was playing shots just by seeing the ball. At one time it seemed difficult for Punjab to chase 200 runs, as the team score was 70/4, but after that Shashank and Ashutosh Sharma (31 runs on 17 balls) took over the innings and batted brilliantly to help PBKS win the season.
