Gujarat vs Bengaluru: The brilliant innings of Virat Kohli and Will Jacques became the turning point of the match (GT vs RCB Turning point of match):
Gujarat Titans, who came to bat first after losing the toss, scored 200 runs after losing three wickets in 20 overs. After a slow start, Shahrukh Khan and Sai Sudarshan took the responsibility of increasing the pace of runs and both scored fifties. There was a partnership of 86 runs between Sai Sudarshan and Shahrukh Khan for the third wicket. Shahrukh scored 58 runs in 30 balls and Sai Sudarshan played a strong inning of 84 runs in 49 balls.
But RCB had come up with a different plan. RCB batsmen had come with the intention of washing the bowlers from the very beginning to improve the net run rate. Faf du Plessis was in a very attacking style. But Sai Kishore stopped him at the score of 24 runs. A twist was expected in the match from here, because Gujarat, playing on home ground, could dominate the match at any time. And RCB players were afraid that the top order might falter.
Kohli and Jacques did wonders
But Virat Kohli and Will Jacques did something that deserves praise. An excellent partnership of 166 runs was seen between the two batsmen. Virat Kohli contributed 66 runs in this partnership and Will Jacques contributed 100 runs. Both the batsmen played very strong innings and beat every bowler.
As a result, Virat Kohli scored 70 unbeaten runs in 44 balls with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes. At the same time, Will Jacques scored unbeaten 100 runs in 41 balls with the help of 5 fours and 10 sixes.
If this partnership had not happened between the two, RCB would have had to struggle a bit to win the match. At the same time, Gujarat bowlers could return to home ground any time. With this victory, RCB’s playoff hopes seem to be rising. Now it will be interesting to see how the other teams perform.
AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
