Rajasthan might have qualified for the playoffs but with 4 consecutive defeats, they need to win their last league game in order to stand a chance to finish in top 2

IPL 2024, RR vs PBKS: Sam Curran spoils Rajasthan's party, hand them 4th-consecutive defeat

A couple of games ago, the Rajasthan Royals were almost guaranteed of a top-2 finish in the IPL 2024 points table but a defeat by 5 wickets against the Punjab Kings on Wednesday, has made it very tough.

<h2>Rajasthan might have qualified for the playoffs but with 4 consecutive defeats, they need to win their last league game in order to stand a chance to finish in top 2</h2>

A couple of games ago, the Rajasthan Royals were almost guaranteed of a top-2 finish in the IPL 2024 points table but a defeat by 5 wickets against the Punjab Kings on Wednesday, has made it very tough.
Sanju Samson's decision to bat first backfired as the pitch in Guwahati proved tricky. None of their batters except Riyan Parag (48) got going as Punjab restricted Rajasthan to 144/9.
Defending which, the Royals reduced PBKS to 48/4 but Sam Curran decided to play his best knock of the season before leaving for national duty.
He slammed an unbeaten 63 and took his side over the finish line with 7 balls to spare.
Rajasthan might have qualified for the playoffs but with 4 consecutive defeats, they need to win their last league game in order to stand a chance to finish in top 2.
The result also meant that the Kolkata Knight Riders were guaranteed of finishing at the top of the table. Interestingly, Shreyas Iyer became the first ever KKR skipper to end the league stage at the number 1 spot.

Jitesh had appeared for the captain's seminar meeting and many assumed that he had been given the role of being the deputy to Dhawan for the 2024 season.

Is Jitesh Sharma Punjab's vice-captain? Sanjay Bangar clears confusion after loss against RR | IPL 2024

Jitesh had appeared for the captain's seminar meeting and many assumed that he had been given the role of being the deputy to Dhawan for the 2024 season.

Shikhar Dhawan missed Punjab Kings' IPL 2024 match against the Rajasthan Royals on Saturday due to a niggle but what raised eyebrows was when Sam Curran came out for the toss for PBKS.&nbsp;
Jitesh had appeared for the captain's seminar meeting and many assumed that he had been given the role of being the deputy to Dhawan for the 2024 season.
Watching Sam Curran coming up for the toss was followed by an immense backlash from fans who asked why and how this happened.
But now, Head of Cricket Development for Punjab Kings, Sanjay Bangar confirmed that Jitesh was never the designated vice-captain and Curran was always going to stand in for Dhawan, having led the side in three matches last year.&nbsp;
"No no, Jitesh wasn't the designated vice-captain. I think, the impression could have been because he attended the captains' seminar or meeting at the start of the IPL but the thought was always that [of Curran standing in for Dhawan] because Sam has led the team in the previous year as well," Bangar said during the post-match press conference.
Bangar also revealed the reason behind Sam Curran missing out from the captain's photoshoot.
"He was late to arrive from the UK and because he wanted to have a few sessions, that is the reason we couldn't send him to Chennai for the inauguration of the season hence Jitesh was sent because the directive from the IPL members was that a player has to attend. Because of that, we sent Jitesh in. That wasn't the case that Jitesh was the stand-in captain. We were very clear in our minds that if at all there had been an opening, Sam Curran would be taking over and doing the job as captain," former Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru coach Bangar added.

Did they get the correct Shashank Singh? Punjab Kings respond after auction video goes viral

Reports under circulation claimed that Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia's team had wrongfully bought a player called Shashank Singh.

After an entire day of confusion over Punjab Kings' accidental buy at the IPL 2024 auction, the franchise has cleared the air.&nbsp; Reports under circulation claimed that Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia's team had wrongly bought a player called Shashank Singh. This after a video from the IPL auction showed the Punjab Kings asking the auctioneer to take back a player but could not as the deal had been finalised.&nbsp; On December 21, the Punjab-based team came clean and said, 'Shashank Singh was always on our target list. The confusion was due to 2 players of the same name being on the list.'&nbsp; They added that they were delighted to have him onboard.&nbsp; The newly-signed Shashank Singh has previously played for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2022 season and was released before the 2023 auction. The other Shashank in question is a 19-year-old who is yet to make his first-class debut.

One of Punjab or Rajasthan will bow out of IPL 2023 on Friday night, and even the winner of the contest will have to wait for other results to know their outcome.

The Punjab Kings and the Rajasthan Royals will face off in a crucial encounter as they strive to keep their playoff hopes alive in the IPL.
Both teams have struggled with inconsistency throughout the season, and this game will be their last opportunity to make a push for a spot in the playoffs.
Even though the Royals hold a slight advantage over the Kings due to their superior net run rate, both sides are aware that their fate ultimately rests on the outcomes of other matches.
It has been a familiar tale of disappointment for the Punjab Kings, a team that has historically underperformed. Their poor bowling performance against the Delhi Capitals on Wednesday night was a reminder of their failure to capitalize on crucial moments in the tournament over the years.
On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals started the IPL on a high note, winning four out of their first five games. However, they have been unable to maintain their momentum and find themselves in a precarious position.
Despite standout performances from talented players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Yuzvendra Chahal, the star-studded Rajasthan Royals lineup has failed to live up to its full potential. Even the impressive Jos Buttler, known for his sensational knocks, has struggled with inconsistency, having been dismissed without scoring in the team's previous two games. The England white-ball captain will be eager to make amends and deliver a match-winning performance in this do-or-die encounter.
PBKS vs RR Head-to-Head The two sides have played each other 25 times, with Rajasthan dominating the head-to-head record with 14 wins to Punjab's 11.
Team news Kagiso Rabada's failure in the last match may see Punjab play the extra overseas batter in Dharamsala. Matthew Short or Bhanuka Rajapaksa, with their power-hitting game, could return to the XI.
With swing on offer in the first few overs, Trent Boult should replace Adam Zampa in the RR XI.
Dharamsala Weather Update Even though there's a 20% chance of rain on Friday afternoon, the weather should clear up for a full 40-overs contest between both sides in pleasant weather conditions.
PBKS vs RR Probable Playing XI:
PBKS Possible Playing XI: Shikhar Dhawan(c), Atharva Taide, Liam Livingstone, Matthew Short, Jitesh Sharma(w), Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Rahul Chahar, Nathan Ellis, Arshdeep Singh
RR Possible Playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(w/c), Joe Root, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Adam Zampa, Sandeep Sharma, KM Asif, Yuzvendra Chahal

IPL 2023 PBKS vs DC: Punjab captain Shikhar Dhawan disappointed with his bowlers

#IPL2023 #PBKS #PBKSvDC 

<h2>Shikhar Dhawan expressed his frustration with the team's poor show with the ball that saw the Delhi Capitals post a mammoth 213 on the board.</h2>

Having suffered a devastating blow to their hopes of reaching the IPL 2023 playoffs, Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan couldn&rsquo;t hide his frustration <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/ipl-2023-pbks-vs-dc-livingstone-s-94-in-vain-punjab-staring-at-elimination-after-15-run-loss-1684345676773">after their 15-run loss against the Delhi Capitals</a>.
Reflecting on the match, Dhawan lamented the team's lacklustre bowling in the initial overs. He said, &ldquo;I don't think we bowled well in the first six overs. We should have taken some wickets the way the ball was moving around.&rdquo;
Punjab allowed the out-of-form Prithvi Shaw and Delhi Capitals skipper David Warner to stitch together a 94-run partnership.
Dhawan also acknowledged his misjudgment in assigning the final over to Harpreet Brar, who leaked 23 runs that saw Delhi post 213 on the board.
"Even my decision to bowl a spinner in last over back-fired. And before that, the fast bowlers didn't pitch the ball up in the powerplay. That was the plan but we didn't execute. It is hurting us,&rdquo; a disappointed Dhawan added
The defeat has dealt a significant blow to Punjab Kings' campaign, leaving them with a very slim chance of advancing to the playoffs.

Punjab Kings' playoff hopes suffered a body blow after a 15-run loss against the Delhi Capitals on Wednesday night.

<h2>Liam Livingstone's fiery knock of 94 got the match to the last over but couldn't get the Punjab Kings over the line with the home side restricted at 198/8 in the end against Delhi Capitals.</h2>

Punjab Kings' playoff hopes suffered a body blow after a 15-run loss against the Delhi Capitals on Wednesday night.
Asked to bat first, Delhi got off to a good start with openers David Warner and Prithvi Shaw stitching up a 94-run opening stand.
While skipper David Warner departed for 46 runs, Prithvi Shaw scored a good 38-ball 54 on his return to the playing XI.
However, it was the swashbuckling innings of Rilee Rossouw, whose 37-ball 82* powered Delhi to 213/2 in the end, their first 200+ total this season.
Chasing a mammoth 214, skipper Shikhar Dhawan got out on for a golden duck, courtesy of Ishant Sharma.
Atharva Taide scored a gritty half century but struggling to keep up with the scoring rate, had to retire out.
Liam Livingstone though was at his destructive best, smashing sixes one after the other.
However, his fiery knock of 94 was not enough to take his team over the line, with Punjab falling short of the Delhi total by 15 runs.
The loss means Punjab are now staring at elimination and can only reach a maximum of 14 points.
They'll now have to win their next game by a huge margin and pray for all other results to go their way to have a chance of making it to the playoffs.

IPL 2023 DC vs PBKS: Delhi knocked out after Brar, Chahar run riot for Punjab

Delhi Capitals became the 1st team to be eliminated from IPL 2023 after their 31-run defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings&nbsp;

Paying the price for a horrendous start to their IPL 2023 campaign, Delhi Capitals became the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race after their 31-run defeat at the hands of the Punjab Kings. Despite a brilliant start to their run-chase of 168, Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar spun a web to bamboozle the Capitals' batters. Skipper David Warner's half-century was in vain as Delhi went from 69/0 to 88/6 in the space of less than 4 overs. While Brar finished with a 4-wicket haul, Chahar produced excellent figures of 2 for 16 in his 4 overs. Earlier in the evening, Punjab&rsquo;s Prabhsimran Singh produced a magnificent hundred on a difficult track to take Punjab to a competitive 167. The victory means Punjab keep their playoff hopes alive; they are currently 6th in the table with 12 points.

IPL 2023 KKR vs PBKS - Russell, Rinku & Rana shine as Kolkata clinch final ball thriller

The hosts were chasing 180 and it was captain Nitish Rana who top-scored for them with a watchful knock of 51 off 38 balls.

Put a run-chase and Rinku Singh into the mix, what do you get? An innings to remember. Monday night was no different. Playing at home, Kolkata Knight Riders made sure to put up an unforgettable show. The hosts were chasing 180 and it was captain Nitish Rana who top-scored for them with a watchful knock of 51 off 38 balls. Opener and impact player Jason Roy had earlier contributed fairly with a 24-ball-38. But when the skipper departed after completing his half-century, he passed on the baton to Russell &amp; Rinku, for the game was still in balance. The Caribbean all-rounder went full throttle on PBKS bowlers. In his short stint at the crease, Russell hit 3 sixes and as many fours, scoring a 23-ball 42 before he sacrificed his wicket to try and take a quick run on the penultimate ball. Russell was supported by KKR&rsquo;s hero Rinku Singh, who finished with an unbeaten 21 off just 10 balls. With 2 runs needed off the final ball, in traditional Rinku fashion, he hit a boundary to give KKR an all-important win. Earlier, it was Varun Chakaravarthy who rattled Punjab batters with his spin to scalp 3 wickets, an innings where Shikhar Dhawan's fifty and late cameos from Shahrukh Khan &amp; Harpreet Brar saw them reach 179 at the end.

Bairstow, who underwent surgery on his broken leg and dislocated ankle after a freak slip at a golf course last September, is yet to return to competitive cricket. According to reports in the English media, the ECB isn't willing to risk his fitness ahead of the Ashes in June,&nbsp;
While Bairstow's unavailability is a blow for the Punjab Kings, they will be boosted by the return of Liam Livingstone, who has been given the all-clear to play in the T20 extravaganza.
Livingstone, who had a stop-start 2022 season due to multiple injuries last year, has been now declared fit. He was part of the Lancashire's off-season training sessions in Dubai recently.

Check out what co-owner Ness Wadia said about his team's chances after some big changes to their personnel. 

Punjab Kings have managed to reach the IPL final just once back in 2014 as inconsistency in their results has seen them often miss out on the playoff spots.&nbsp;

IPL team Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia believes that the new Captain-Coach duo of Shikhar Dhawan and Trevor Bayliss can lead the team to their maiden IPL title.
Shikhar Dhawan has replaced Mayank Agarwal as the skipper while Aussie Trevor Bayliss has replaced Anil Kumble as the team coach. Bayliss coached England to their 2019 ODI World Cup title and has also won 2 IPL titles with the Kolkata Knight Riders.
"The expectation from them is to take us to the top four and then hopefully win the Cup. Dhawan and Trevor's rich experience and knowledge should help us," said Wadia
"It is a good combination. Trevor comes with a good track record with England and in the IPL. With all their experience combined, we are hoping it will culminate into results that Punjab need and deserve," he further added.
