5 games lost in 6 and fighting for the last spot in the table, RCB have more or less become the first team to be eliminated from the 2024 IPL. They still have an outside chance of qualifying for the playoff but it is only that. An outside chance. Far too many things will have …
The 8th game of the IPL at Hyderabad between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad became the see ball hit ball game.

One more season done and one more disappointment. Alongwith RCB & Punjab, Delhi is the only side not to have won even a single IPL trophy in 16 attempts. Even in a short span, Deccan Chargers and Gujarat Titans managed to win one apiece but not Delhi. This despite the fact that they are having …
