Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Rovman Powell had a cheeky response for the broadcaster after winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) match for his team against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on April 13. Powell and Shimron Hetmyer added 21 runs in just seven balls to take their team home in a tense chase. Powell scored 11 off just 5 including two boundaries in the penultimate over as RR chased down the 148-run target with one ball and three wickets left.

Speaking after the match on his partnership with Hetmyer, who scored unbeaten 27 off 10 balls, Powell said: "The good thing is we know each other, we are calm. All we needed to do was hit proper cricketing shots, and play along the ground. We are West Indians, we hit boundaries. In the previous games, the lower and middle order have not batted a lot of balls, and I told Hettie that there might be a day soon when they will have that opportunity. When I went out to bat, he just reminded me of that."

Powell also offered an updated about when RR opener Jos Buttler is going to be back and said: "I think he is maybe out for a day or two. I think he will be back, the medical team is doing a fantastic job."

As for the game, Punjab bowlers did well to make a match out of nothing but eventually lost the second consecutive thriller on the trot. They kept losing wickets at regular interval with only Jitesh Sharma (29), Livingstone (21) and Sharma (31 off 16) being able to cross the 20-run mark. All five Rajasthan bowlers managed to take wickets as PBKS posted a below-par 147/8 in 20 overs.

This was Punjab's fourth loss in five matches as they currently sit at eighth place in the 10-team points table while Royals enjoy the top spot with five wins in six games.

IPL 2024: RR batter Rovman Powell's CHEEKY response after winning match vs Punjab Kings

The biggest rivalry in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is back with Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), both five-time champions, taking on each other on April 14. Both the teams have had contrasting seasons so far with MI losing first three games before winning two on the trot and CSK sitting pretty on third place after five games.

The match will be played at Mumbai's home ground, that is, Wankhede, and MI would be hoping to continue their winning run. Hardik Pandya-led Indians have won&nbsp;their last two games at home only and look solid again, thanks to their batting order.

Also Watch:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/cricket/ipl-2024-watch-rrs-sanju-samson-does-ms-dhoni-esque-run-out-vs-punjab-kings-711053">RR's Sanju Samson does MS Dhoni-esque run-out vs Punjab Kings</a>

CSK, on the other hand, have lost both their games away from home and will look&nbsp;to change the stat on Sunday. CSK are dealing with some injury troubles as well with pacer Matheesha Pathirana not confirmed to play.&nbsp;

For Mumbai, their batting looks strong once again, especially after Suryakumar Yadav's return to form with a 19-ball 52 in the last match when MI chased 197 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Up the order, Ishan Kishan also looks in sublime touch with Rohit Sharma playing cameos.

The bowling remains a concern for Mumbai too with only Jasprit Bumrah being the standout performer, having taken 10 wickets in five games. Rest of the Mumbai bowlers have gone for aplenty and Hardik would like to get a grip on that before Bumrah encounters a bad day.

Similarly, CSK would like Deepak Chahar to start having more impact in the powerplay. In batting department, Chennai have done decent but would definitely prefer skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad to&nbsp;stay longer and convert his starts, especially slow ones, into big scores.

Both the team have faced each other 36 times in the league with MI emerging winner 20 times and CSK winning it 16 times.

Nepal's Dipendra Singh Airee has created history by becoming the third player to hit six sixes in an over of an international T20I. The Nepal batter reached the feat against Qatar on April 13 in Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Men's Premier Cup match. Airee reached the milestone in 20th over of Nepal's innings against Qatar's Kamran Khan.

Airee, who was at 28 off 15 before the start of the final over, eventually finished with 21-ball 64 as Nepal posted 210/7 in 20 overs. He now has entered the list with India's Yuvraj Singh and West Indies' Kieron Pollard, who also have hit six sixes in an over in a T20I.

Yuvraj had hit England's Stuart Broad for six sixes during the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 while Pollard had smashed Sri Lanka's Akila Dananjaya in 2021. Overall, Airee is the fifth player to hit six sixes in an over in an international match.

Apart from the above three, South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs and the USA's Jaskaran Malhotra have also achieved the feat, albeit in ODIs.

Airee is not new to making records, he had also hit the fastest fifty in T20Is last year during the Asian Games as well. Batting against Mongolia, Airee scored 52 not out off just 9 balls - the minimum required to hit a fifty. He had hit six sixes in a row in that match as well, but they were spread across two overs. Nepal had also posted a record 314/3 - the first 300-plus total in T20Is.

As for the match against Qatar, Nepal restricted the opposition for 178/9 and won the match by 32 runs. For Qatar, skipper Muhammad Tanveer top scored with 33-ball 63.

Airee, who also took two wickets in the match for 34 runs in four overs apart from 64 not out, was aptly adjudged Player of the Match. Apart from him, Gulshan Jha and Lalit Rajbanshi also chipped in with two wickets each.

Former India batter Manoj Tiwary feels if Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Shivam Dube doesn't get selected for India's T20 World Cup squad then the onus lies on the IPL team. The comments came after Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya hasn't bowled in last three matches for the team.

Tiwary suggested that if Pandya has to be in the team then he has to bowl else Dube should be picked ahead of the MI skipper on the basis of his current batting form.

“If he (Pandya) wants to play in the Indian T20 World Cup team as an all-rounder, he has to bowl. Look at his economy rate. It's almost 11. He is not performing this season,” Tiwary said in a conversation with cricket website Cricbuzz.

“With this form, Hardik won't be picked in the T20 World Cup. See, Agarkar is a strong character and hence can take those bold decisions. And if Dube is not picked in the T20 World Cup, CSK will be responsible for it, because they are not allowing him to bowl. I have been saying this for a long time, if you want a replacement for Hardik, get Dube ready,” he added.

Tiwary also mentioned that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCC) should be looking at a bigger goal and prepare backup players.

"At one time we also had Venkatesh Iyer. Suddenly, both (Iyer and Dube) of them stopped bowling. We should be looking at the bigger goal. We are talking about the World Cup here and India haven't been able to lift that trophy for a long time. So we have to plan for that ahead of time. Now Hardik is not in form and if you pick Dube in the squad, how much he can perform as a bowler is not known. But as far as I know, Dube is a clever bowler. Remember that T20I series at home against Afghanistan,” he said.

Notably, the T20 World Cup 2024 starts June 2 after the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

IPL 2024: ‘CSK responsible if Shivam Dube doesn’t play T20 World Cup,’ says former India batter Manoj Tiwary

Former India batter Wasim Jaffer has backed Rajasthan Royals' Riyan Parag to make it to India's T20 World Cup squad. Notably, ICC T20 World Cup is scheduled to be played from June 2, right after the ongoing 2024 season of the Indian premier League (IPL). Parag, who is having a breakout season for RR, is currently second on the list of most runs scored with 261 runs in five games.

Speaking on his chances to play for India in the T20 World Cup, Jaffer, in a conversation with cricket website ESPNCricinfo, said: "Looking at his form, I won't be surprised if selectors are considering him for the T20 World Cup. The way he has played shows consistency, and I won't be surprised if we see him there."

“Riyan Parag is emerging to be a sensational player in this IPL. It's pretty refreshing to see a young player performing like this. He has performed in the domestic cricket for Assam, and he's carrying that form. The no. 4 suits him better, as he gets some time to settle,” Jaffer added.

Explaining what has made Parag stand&nbsp;out this season, Jaffer said: "The hard work is showing. He is fitter, and he looks composed. His shot selection is good; he has faced significant trolling over the past few years; he also played the difficult role of a finisher, but the Royals kept their faith in him. It feels like he has the right number now, and he is in the right frame of mind, too. He looks dedicated to proving everyone wrong."

Parag has already hit three fifties in five innings he has played so far with a best of 84 not out. His average has been an impressive 87 and a strike of 158 with 17 fours and 17 sixes as well.

Gujarat Titans (GT) beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by three wickets&nbsp;in a last-ball thriller on April 10 in the&nbsp;Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. With the loss, Royals' four-game unbeaten run also came to an end. Needing 35 off last 12 balls&nbsp;in a chase of 197, Rahul&nbsp;Tewatia (21&nbsp;off 11) and Rashid Khan (24&nbsp;off 11&nbsp;not out) added 38 runs in 14 balls to get GT over the line from nowhere.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Shreyas Iyer acknowledged a misjudgment in reading the pitch after their first loss of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. KKR were comprehensively beaten by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on April 8 at Chepauk and Iyer conceded a mistake on their side.

"I personally feel we fell short in terms of assessing the wicket," Iyer said after the loss.&nbsp;

KKR, however, had a decent powerplay despite losing Phil Salt on the first ball of the match. Kolkata went on to score 56 runs in the first six overs with Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi taking charge. CSK's Ravindra Jadeja then changed the complexion of the game with a double-wicket over, dismissing both the set batters.

"We were phenomenal in the powerplay but after that, we couldn't capitalise, we lost consecutive wickets. We weren't able to assess the conditions as quickly as possible. It completely changed after the powerplay and scoring runs off this wicket wasn't easy," Iyer said.

The KKR skipper also said that CSK knew the conditions of their home ground well and they bowled exactly according to the plan.

"Obviously, they know conditions pretty well and they bowled according to their plan. It was a bit tacky, especially even when the hard hitters came in, it wasn't easy for them to go [big] right from the first ball. It changed tremendously after the powerplay. We were trying to construct our innings, didn't go to plan. We take those learnings and move forward," Iyer noted.

Thanks to Jadeja's 3/18 in four overs, KKR could score just 137/9 in 20 overs despite having an above-par powerplay. Chasing the total, CSK were never in trouble as they reached the target in 17.4 overs with seven wickets in hand. For Chennai, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad eventually hit form and top-scored with an unbeaten 67 off 58 balls.&nbsp;

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Andre Russell was seen covering his ears due to the noise made by fans at Chepauk during Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star MS Dhoni's entry.

Mumbai Indians (MI) became the first team in T20 cricket to register 150 wins after beating Delhi Capitals by 29 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on April 8. This was the first win for MI in the ongoing IPL season after losing three matches on the trot. Mumbai, notably, have played 273 matches in all T20s (including IPL and now defunct Champions League T20), winning 150 and losing 117 with four games ending in a tie and two ending with no result.

The second on the list is another IPL team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), with 148 wins in 253 games to go with 101 losses, two ties and two no results. India men's national T20 team is third on the list with 144 wins in 223 games. England's Lancashire and Nottinghamshire are the next two in top five with 143 wins each.

As for the match, Mumbai posted a huge total of 234/5 in 20 overs which also included a 32-run last over. MI were given a great start by openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan as the duo added 80 runs for the first wicket in 6.5 overs before Rohit was dismissed on the last ball of the seventh over.

After some quick wickets, Tim David (21-ball 45 not out) and Romario Shepherd (unbeaten 10-ball 39) added 53 runs in just 13 balls to propel MI to a huge total. It was Shepherd who hit 32 runs off Anrich Nortje in the last over which proved to be the difference between the two teams.

Delhi Capitals were in the hunt for a bit but kept losing wickets and a slow powerplay didn't help as well. Prithvi Shaw (40-ball 66) and Tristan Stubbs (25-ball 71 not out) were the standouts for DC during the chase. Delhi eventually fell short by 29 runs to slump to the last place on the points table.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be looking to snap their losing streak against the mighty Kolkata Knight Riders (KRR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 8. CSK will have the home advantage but they'd need more than that to stop the KKR juggernaut. Knight Riders, notably, are the only unbeaten team in the tournament apart from Rajasthan Royals (RR).

Chennai, on the other hand, have lost two back-to-back games after winning their first two. They&nbsp;won their opening game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets before beating Gujarat Titans (GT) by 63 runs. In the next two matches, CSK were beaten by Delhi Capitals (DC) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH).

KKR, however, have been on a roll with three consecutive wins. After narrowly defeating SRH in their first match of the season by four runs, they were dominant in their next two games. KKR beat RCB by seven wickets for their second win before inflicting a huge 106-run defeat on DC.

The reason for KKR's success has been their opening partnership with all-rounder Sunil Narine acing his pinch-hitter&nbsp;role as one of the openers. After scoring just two runs in his first match, Narine went on to score 47 off 22 and 85 off 39 in the next two games to give KKR a flyer of a start. With Andre Russell also in form lower down the order, KKR's batting order is the envy of the league.

For CSK, their newly-appointed skipper and opener Ruturaj Gaikwad's form is a cause of concern. Gaikwad has gotten the starts, albeit slow ones, but hasn't been able to stay long to make up for them. Apart from Shivam Dube, no middle-order batter has been able to leave an impact.

CSK would need to fire&nbsp;all cylinders if they hope to win against KKR. &nbsp;

Mumbai Indians (MI) registered their first win of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season after beating Delhi Capitals (DC) by 29 runs on April 7. MI bowlers didn't let DC keep up the run rate and Jasprit Bumrah led the charge with a searing yorker to DC batter Prithvi Shaw. The DC opener was looking to take the game on with 40-ball 66 before being dismissed by Bumrah.

Chasing a mammoth 235, DC were rocked early after David Warner departed in the fourth over with 22 on board. Shaw then added 88 runs for the second wicket with Abhishek Porel (31-ball 41) before Bumrah dismissed him in the 12th over. It was dipping yorker, angled in, which went past Shaw's defence and uprooted his leg-stump. Have a look at the video here:

Mayank, who has lit up the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 with his pace, left the field during the match against Gujarat Titans (GT) on April 7.

Speaking after the match, Pandya said: "I don't know what exactly happened to Mayank Yadav, but I had a couple of seconds with him. So, I think he is okay to continue in future matches. That is positive news for us. He was bowling well in the nets earlier and last season before missing the tournament due to an injury. Whatever conversation I have had, whatever we see, he has a good head on his shoulder. Really excited to see how his career pans out."

Mayank has also bowled the fastest delivery of the season at 156.7 kmph during the match against Punjab Kings, improving on his record of 155.8 kmph from the previous match vs RCB. Yadav's fastest delivery of the season is now fourth on the list of all-time fastest deliveries of the league.

IPL 2024, highlights | MI vs DC: Pandya's MI secure first win of campaign

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli smashed record-extending eighth Indian Premier League (IPL) ton on April 6 against Rajasthan Royals. Virat is now two clear of both Chris Gayle and Jos Buttler on the list of most hundreds in the cash-rich tournament. Both Gayle and Buttler have six each with the latter scoring his latest ton in the same match as Kohli.

Kohli's hundred, however, was the joint-slowest in the IPL. It came off 67 balls, same as Manish Pandey in 2009 against Deccan Chargers while playing for RCB. Kohli and Pandey are behind only Yash Nahar for slowest hundred in all T20s for India. Nahar, playing for Maharashtra, had scored his 100 off 68 balls in 2021 against Goa in the domestic Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy (T20 tournament).

During his innings, Kohli faced 72 balls to score unbeaten 113 runs. This was&nbsp;the third most balls faced in an IPL innings, behind Brendon McCullum's 73-ball 158 not out in IPL's inaugural match in 2008 and Pandey's 2009 innings during which he also faced 73 balls for his 114 not out.

Overall Kohli, with nine tons, now sits third on the list of most T20 hundreds behind Pakistan's Babar Azam, who has 11 tons to his name, and Chris Gayle, who has 22 tons in the shortest format.

Kohli's innings was the highlight as RCB posted 183/3 in 20 overs against Royals. Buttler, however, roared back in form with a century&nbsp;which came off just 58 balls as Rajasthan chased down the target in 19.1 overs with six wickets in hand.

Apart from Buttler, Royals skipper Sanju Samson also scored 42-ball 69 as Rajasthan registered their fourth win in as many games to go on top of the points table.

RCB, on the other hand, are eight on the 10-team table with just two points after four losses and one win from five games they have played in the season so far.

IPL 2024: RCB batter Virat Kohli's record-extending ton against RR slowest in league history

Rajasthan Royals (RR) brutally trolled Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) before beating them by six wickets in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on April 6. RCB rode on Kohli's record-extending albeit joint-slowest hundred to post 183/3 in 20 overs. The score eventually proved not enough as RR chased it with ease.

After RCB's innings, RR, from their official X account, posted: "184 sounds good on a day when 200+ was possible," &nbsp;alongside an image of Yuzvendra Chahal who returned the figures of 2/34 in four overs.

Kohli, who scored 113 not out off 73 balls, his record-extending albeit joint-slowest century, spoke at length about his team's performance during the mid-innings break and said: " Our target initially was 190, 195, to be honest. But then assessing the pitch and how it was slowing down, we decided if one of Faf [du Plessis] or me get out, then the other had to bat till the end so that we can get that boost closer to 180-185, which we did, which I feel is a very effective total on this pitch."

IPL 2024: 'A day when...,' Rajasthan Royals brutally troll Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of six-wicket win

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be hosting Gujarat Titans (GT) in Indian Premier League (IPL) match 21 on April 7 in Lucknow. Both teams are at four points in the middle of the table and would be looking to claim the third spot on the points table with a win. While LSG so far have played three games and won two of them, GT are at two wins and two losses after four games.

LSG's new pace sensation Mayank Yadav is again in the spotlight after delivering two back-to-back Player of the Match performances in his first two IPL games. Yadav, who has lit up the ongoing IPL season, has six wickets in two games after taking 3/27 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and 3/14 against RCB.

Ahead of him are Shaun Tait (157.7 kmph in IPL 2011), Lockie Ferguson (157.3 in IPL 2022) and Umrah Malik (157 kmph in IPL 2022).

For Gujarat, their batting and bowling both would again be in focus as they have once lost while chasing a 200+ total and failed to defend one as well. The defeat in their last match against Punjab Kings would still be hurting as they lost the match from winning position after two rookies helped PBKS chase 200.

Talking about Lucknow, Mayank has taken over all the spotlight which has given other players to find form. Quinton de Kock found his form with 56-ball 81 in the last game but skipper KL Rahul has largely struggled this season. Among other who now need to step up for LSG are Devdutt Padikkal, Ayush Badoni and Marcus Stoinis.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Shivam Dube is making headlines with his big hitting prowess in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The left-hander now has received the backing of former players including Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh to be in India's T20 World Cup squad. Notably, ICC T20 WC is scheduled to be played right after the IPL.

After Dube scored 24-ball 45 in CSK's last match against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH), Yuvraj Singh tweeted: “Good to watch @IamShivamDube clearing the field with ease !! I feel he has to be in the World Cup squad. Has got the skill to be the #gamechanger #CSKvsSRH #IPLT20.”

In the ongoing IPL season, Dube has hit 148 runs in four matches at an average of 49.33 and a belligerent strike rate of 160. The lanky batter has also hit 10 sixes so far, the most for CSK in the season at the moment.

CSK have also reaped the rewards of Dube's form - winning two of their four matches to amass four points for the third spot on the points table.

As for the match against SRH, CSK were nicely placed at 119/3 in 13.4 overs despite Dube's dismissal. In the next 6.2 overs, however, they could manage only 46 runs and posted a below par total of 165/6 in 20 overs.&nbsp;

SRH, in reply, &nbsp;got to a flyer while chasing a modest 166. It was Abhishek Sharma's innings of 37 in 12 balls which eventually proved helpful as SRH chased down the target in 18.1 overs with six wickets in hand.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad is facing a bit of heat for his captaincy decisions during the loss against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 5 in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The bone of contention is MS Dhoni's batting order as he faced just three balls in the innings. Some of the former players and experts have criticised Gaikwad of sending Dhoni's in the last over.

"On the back of what he did in the last game, I'm amazed he did not come out to bat earlier. I can't understand why he's been out there for just three balls," said former England skipper Michael Vaughan while talking to Cricbuzz.

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan also questioned the decision to send Dhoni down the order and tweeted: "Considering off cutter planning in to the pitch and match up against Bhuvi and Unadkat, Dhoni the right hand batsman should have batted up the order in this match vs SRH."&nbsp;

CSK&nbsp;were nicely placed at 119/3 in 13.4 overs after Shivam Dube's dismissal who scored a brilliant 24-ball 45. In the next 6.2 overs, however, they could manage only 46 runs and posted a below par total of 165/6 in 20 overs.

Speaking on the loss, CSK's second this season, skipper Gaikwad said: "I think to be honest, it was a slow pitch, They bowled well in the back-end, kept the game in control and didn't allow us to capitalize. It was a black soil pitch, so we expected the pitch to be slower, but it became slower and slower, and they used the boundary size well."

SRH got to a flyer while chasing a modest 166. The score might have been a bit below par but CSK bowlers did make it hard for SRH due to a slow and gripping pitch. It was Abhishek Sharma's innings of 37 in 12 balls which eventually proved helpful as SRH chased down the target in 18.1 overs with six wickets in hand.
