Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) secured victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the second Qualifier of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 with a commanding 36-run margin. Opting to bowl first, RR managed to restrict SRH to a total of 175 for 9. However, in their chase, RR’s formidable batting lineup struggled against Hyderabad’s spin attack, only mustering 139 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs.

While the match appeared to be one-sided in the final overs, RR initially seemed poised to dominate SRH with their bowling prowess. Sunrisers’ top order struggled against the pace attack of the Royals. Notably, Heinrich Klaasen, who was set at the crease, was dismissed by a precise yorker from Sandeep Sharma.

Following the collapse of SRH’s top and middle order, Klaasen ignited hope for the Orange Army with a superb half-century, steering Hyderabad’s recovery from 120/6.

However, Sandeep ensured that the South African couldn’t propel SRH to a strong finish. In the 19th over of the second innings, Sandeep delivered a medium-paced ball at 121 kmph. Despite its relatively slower speed, the delivery was impeccably placed at perfect line and length, catching Klaasen off guard and dismantling his stumps.

Navjot Singh Sidhu compares Sandeep with Wasim Akram

Navjot Singh Sidhu, the former Indian cricketer who now serves as a member of the Star Sports Hindi commentary panel, praised Sandeep for his exceptional bowling skills. The Punjab-born-commentator likened the yorker of the RR bowler to the likes of Waqar Younis and the variations reminiscent of Wasim Akram.

“Heinrich Klaasen was looking dangerous but Sandeep Sharma was not worried. His Yorker reminds me of Waqar Younis. It was a perfect ball to one of the best batters in white-ball cricket,” Sidhu said on Star Sports.

“He has a lot of variations and is like Wasim Akram, who kept the batters guessing during his playing days,” the 60-year-old added.

Despite emerging as the prime contender to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the halfway point of the season, Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) campaign met its conclusion before the final. The Sanju Samson-led team suffered a 36-run defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Qualifier 2 at the MA Chidambaram Stadi??um on Friday (May 24).

RR’s commendable bowling effort falls short

Bowling first, Rajasthan did a commendable job of restricting Hyderabad’s intimidating batting unit, which has broken records aplenty this season, to a score of 175/9. Key bowlers managed to keep the Hyderabad batters in check, showcasing their skill and strategy. However, despite their best efforts, the target proved too challenging for the Rajasthan’ batters, who could only accumulate 139 runs in response.

Sanju Samson’s post-match reflections

After the game, Samson credited Hyderabad’s spinners and noted the pitch’s unexpected behavior in the second innings, acknowledging that their middle-over performance against spin was lacking and the turning wicket was well-utilized by the opposition.

“This was a big game. I am proud of our bowlers, but we were short in the middle overs. Their use of spin against our right-handed batsmen was good; we lost the game against spin in the middle-overs. When the ball was turning, we could’ve used sweep or used our feet, but they bowled well. The wicket started behaving differently in the second innings. The ball started turning a bit and they used that advantage really well,” Samson said in the post-match presentation.

Unpredictable conditions

Samson discussed the unpredictable conditions, noting the absence of dew and increased ball turn in the second innings, which complicated their chase. He reflected on their batting strategy, acknowledging they could have used the crease better, but praised Shahbaz Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma for their effective bowling.

“It was hard to assess and guess when dew would come; it didn’t come and it started turning a lot in the second innings, which made things difficult for us. The unexpected turn of the ball added to the challenges faced by Rajasthan Royals during their chase. Samson also reflected on the team’s batting strategy, noting, When the ball was stopping and turning, we could have used the crease a bit better but they (Shahbaz Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma) bowled well and didn’t give us anything to work with,” the 29-year-old concluded.

On April 30, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) unveiled the Indian team’s roster for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. This much-awaited tournament w??ill kick off on June 2 and be jointly hos?ted by the USA and West Indies.

The most notable selection in India’s squad was of Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal exhibited outstanding performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, claiming 13 wickets in 10? matches. His remarkable form during this period secured him a position in the team for the esteemed e?vent.

Yuzvendra Chahal expresses his delight after being included in India’s squad

Before the match of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Chahal, who recently etched his name in history as the first bowler to reach 200 wickets in the IPL, engaged in a discussion with Murali Vijay on Star Sports. During their discussion, Vijay asked Chahal which of his recent achievements he would prefer to be congratulated for first. To this, Chahal answered that being chosen for the World Cup squad was his primary source of pride. He emphasized that earning a spot in India’s lineup was his ‘biggest achievement’ thus far, highlighting that every cricketer aspires to earn national selection after proving themselves in domestic cricket.

“For the World Cup, we play IPL, domestic cricket to get into the Indian team and that is my biggest achievement,” Chahal said on Star Sports.

Notably, Chahal’s last appearance in a T20I match for India was during their tour of the West Indies and the USA in July 2023. While on the West Indies tour, he secured five wickets across five matches. Despite this notable performance, he found himself excluded from the squad. Additionally, he was omitted from the T20I series against Afghanistan earlier in the year. Reflecting on these events, Chahal noted that during his absence from international cricket, he made productive use of his time by taking part in domestic cricket fixtures.

“I think I played there (West Indies) last July, but when I was out of the Indian team. I played domestic T20s and cricket keeps going on,” the 33-year-old stated.

Tough night for Chahal against Sunrisers Hyderabad

Despite his strong per?formances in previous matches, Chahal faced difficulties against the SRH batters while playing for RR. Surprisingly, he ended up being the most expensive bowler of the game. Chahal conceded 62 runs in his four overs with an economy rate of 15.50 without claiming any wicket??s.

On Thursday (May 2), the Rajasthan Royals (RR) endured a heart-wrenching loss to the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Despite a valiant effort during the second innings, Rajasthan narrowly missed victory by just one run. The hero of the hour was Bhuvneshwar Kumar, whose exceptional bowling in the final over, defending 13 runs?, sealed the win fo?r the Hyderabad.

Climactic final over: Dismissal of Rovman Powell

The climax of the match unfolded with the final delivery? from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, where Rajasthan needed 2 runs to win, a full toss directed at leg stump. Powell, facing the crucial moment, endeavoured to maneuver the ball towards the on-side but failed to connect, resulting in the ba??ll striking his pads.

The on-field umpire adjudged him out, prompting Powell to employ the Decision Review System (DRS) to contest the decision. However, upon review, the third umpire upheld the on-field decision, confirming Powell’s dismissal. Despite Rajasthan’s efforts, they fell short, scoring 200/7 in response to Hyderabad’s 201/3.

Effect of DRS decision on total runs

Nevertheless, even if the DRS had favoured Powell and the on-field decision had been reversed, the runs scored by Powell wouldn’t have contributed to the Royals’ total.

This is due to the rule outlined in Appendix D of the International Cricket Council (ICC) playing conditions, which stipulates that if an original decision of ‘Out’ is changed to ‘Not Out’ following a player review, the ball is still considered dead at the moment the original decision was made. Consequently, any runs scored after that point are not added to the batting side’s total.

“If following a Player Review request, an original decision of ‘Out�?is changed to ‘Not Out�? then the ball is still deemed to have become dead when the original decision was made. The batting side, while benefiting from the reversal of the dismissal, shall not benefit from any runs that may subsequently have accrued from the delivery had the on-field umpire originally,” the law reads.

Therefore, the batting side does not benefit from any runs that may subsequently have accrued from the delivery. That’s why regardless of the outcome of the DRS review, Rajasthan would have still lost by one run in this particular match.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s heroics in the IPL 2024

Overall the match was a riveting spectacle that concluded with a narrow defeat for the Rajasthan, with Yashasvi Jaiswal impressing with a score of 67, complemented by Riyan Parag‘s efforts. Bhuvneshwar’s stellar performance, picking three wickets, earned him the well-deserved title of Player of the Match for Hyderabad.

During Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Thursday (May 2) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Australian batter Travis Head had a stroke of luck when he was dropped by Riyan Parag off the very first ball he faced. This incident unfolded in the opening over of SRH’s innings, bowled by Trent Boult, after SRH’s captain Pat Cummins chose to bat first.

Riyan Parag’s costly drop and lucky escape for Travis Head

Boult delivered the first ball, pitching it fullish outside off, and it seemed to shape away late. Head, the explosive southpaw, threw his hands at it and attempted to drive it towards backward point. Parag, positioned at that fielding spot, managed to get both hands to the ball on his left side but couldn’t grasp it, granting Head an early reprieve. This dropped catch proved to be a costly miss for RR as Head went on to smash 58 runs off just 44 balls, comprising 6 boundaries and 3 sixes.

Late surge propels Sunrisers Hyderabad to a formidable total

Earlier, SRH team faced a shaky start as both Abhishek Sharma and Anmolpreet Singh fell early within the powerplay, leaving SRH at a precarious 35/2. However, the momentum shifted with the entrance of Head and Nitish Kumar Reddy, ?who launched a remarkable counterattack against the RR’s bowling unit.

Displaying sheer ferocity, the duo took on bowlers like Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin, peppering the boundaries to stabilize their side’s innings and infuse it with a burst of energy. Nevertheless, in the 15th over, Avesh Khan managed to dismiss Head, who played on to a wider delivery onto the stumps, resulting in an embarrassing exit. Following Head’s departure, Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Reddy capitalized on the mome??ntum, preventing RR fro??m settling and adding 70 runs in the last five overs, propelling the total to 201/3.
