DAY 5943

Jalsa, Mumbai May 26, 2024 Sun 11:18 PM

🪔 ,

May 27 .. birthday greetings to Ef Bhanu Kumar Bilala .. 🙏🏻🚩❤️

एक और संडे निकल गया , आशाएँ जो मन को डराती थीं दूर हो गयीं , प्यार आदर समर्पण मेरा सदा आप सब के प्रति । इससे बड़ी उपलब्धि मेरे लिये नहीं ।

🙏

... and here on this lit desk of mine , with thoughts that contemplate what needs to be expressed here and in what dimension and contextual content .. I sit .. at times a gaze on the clock, at times on the reflection on the day passed .. and at times just listening to a creative .. and the immediate visualisation of a cinematic representation, if at all it were to see the light of day ..

Happens so often .. an immediate putting of yourself in a situation which you have devised and associated with the sounds of the tone trunk and tenor of the music ..

There is dislike towards the idea of putting the self in the creativity of an event, a product, a campaign .. as has been expressed often enough here and several other states - the barricaded wall towards the I ME MINE syndrome ..

Many that make such consider it a moment of great sale value ..

Could be for them .. do it if you want to ..

But doing it with me , for me , from me ,does not .. repeat, DOES NOT have compliance ..

Never catered to it and never subscribed to it either .. you or any other brings joy to you .. do it without my participation .. that is a independent right .. you have an opinion, a criticism, laudatory or otherwise , a documented record not contributed by me - fine ..

But my participation in the exercise is uncomfortable for me ..

"Abhorrence towards self-aggrandizement stems from the distaste for excessive self-promotion and narcissism. Society values humility and teamwork, viewing self-aggrandizing behavior as a sign of insecurity and a lack of genuine accomplishment. This disdain is rooted in the belief that true success and worth are recognized through actions and contributions rather than boastful proclamations. Individuals who excessively promote themselves often alienate others, undermining trust and collaboration. The collective preference for modesty and authenticity over self-serving arrogance fosters a more cohesive and respectful community, where achievements are celebrated for their intrinsic value rather than the loudness of their declaration."

... and I glance through the pages of one that has corresponded with Babuji and has , with the collection of his letters, brought out a book ..

one such letter, Babuji's content text says :

.. he that writes a complicated mind set, does not give a suitable proof of the purity of the writing .. 'why' did Tulsidas write the Ramayan, 'how' did he write it , could be the subject of dissertation among some of the learned intellectual beings .. most of the people just know that Tulsidas wrote the Ramayan .. when there is no deeper thought on 'what' .. then to beat the drum on the 'why' and the 'how' does not clarify or contribute to any meaning ..

It is a response to a letter by someone that has been brought to his notice, and asked him why he does not refute these insincere and absolutely wrong impressions that people have expressed towards his works - in particular 'Madhushala', - which the letter writer complains, is a propagation and a promotion for alcoholism !

मेरे पास सीमित-शक्ति है । मूर्खताओं को उत्तर दूँ या किसी रचनात्मक कार्य में लगाऊँ

I have limited time and strengths .. do I spend my time replying and responding to foolish idiots, or putting my efforts in use towards more creative cognitive work ..

And here endeth the lesson for the day ..

The IPL Final is over and KKR have WON a most convincing victory .. SRH were simply outplayed .. disappointing in many ways becuse SRH is a good team and one has seen their very grand performances over the days when they played other matches ..

But what was most touching to observe was the pretty young lady , .. the owner of SRH, in the Stadium, get emotional after the loss and break into tears, turning her face away from the cameras, so as not to display her emotion .. I felt bad for her !!

Never mind .. tomorrow is another day .. my dear !!

Indeed .. to quote that famous line from the film 'Gone with the Wind' when the character of Rhett Butler, played by the great Clark Gable turns away from his lady love Scarlett O' Hara, played by the inimitable Vivien Leigh, in the climax and leaves saying :

" Frankly .. I couldn't give a damn ..!!

and she responds as he walks away :

'.. i'll get him back .. after all tomorrow is another day .. '

YES yes , yes ..

to all that fail .. do not give up .. for ..

'tomorrow is another day ...

My love .. ❤️

how many indo-aus ships have we got in total, leaving aside vk ships because that's a whole different beast of its own? 🤭

pujara/patty can also make a good ship especially if you count the 2020/21 bgt. the way patty went after pujara in the final gabba match... 🤕🤕🤕 and if i didn't ship travishek so hard, there's definitely some water in pat/abhi.

marnus/siraj also makes for a spicy ship. so does marnus/rana, especially after their battles in the 2024/25 bgt. thoughts?

like with pujara, i'm gonna consider tim paine as a current player and add the ship of tim/rishabh, they're peak rivals to lovers 😭😭���🏻🤌🏻 rishabh/lyon is also a great ship. rishabh/patty is underrated, but has potential. from the ipl, rishabh and jake fraser-mcgurk were very cute together in this ipl, and i'm gonna count rishabh/ricky and rishabh/david as valid ships since one half of both is a current player. 🤭 frankly speaking, rishabh seems to be going the vk way, he's very shippable with the aussie players! that's okay, someone has to keep the tradition going!

tim paine with ashwin deserves a mention after "can't wait to get you to the gabba ash." 🤭🤭

um if you consider warner as a current player then him and bhuvaneshwar kumar were so so cute together in the ipl when they played for srh! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 i think this was from 2016/17-2020 ish? need to check up on the timelines but they definitely played together for a good 5-6 years.

shubman/starcy makes for great enemies to lovers in my mind. prior to the 2024 bgt, starcy had never ever dismissed shub in tests lol. 😜 this is a very personal crackship, but i feel shubman/greenie would be great together! no particular reason, well, except maybe that I tend to ship shubman with everyone 😅😅 thoughts?

what's the count now? 😅

excellent additions!! if i counted right that's 32 now!

[sandplague]

are we in the realm of september bachelor route thuthers or is 2024 patho winning again as a theory?

no idea. tbh anyone waiting with baited breath for this game is setting themselves up for disappointment. i mean it took like what 6 or 7 years for us to get the physical backer rewards? based on IPL's previous track record it always gets done eventually, no matter how long it takes. the 5 months of little "ARG" posts have been interesting I guess but realistically I have no idea what's going on there. it's best to put this in the back of your mind so when there's finally an update the most you can feel is pleasant surprise. that's how i've always approached it anyway

Jos is any day a better T20 batsman than VK. VK has got more records, but the impact Jos has is unparalleled

HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣

I'm sorry but

HAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣

I'm curious, what exactly is considered "impact"? How about being the highest run-scorer of 2 T20 World Cups? How about being the player of the tournament in consecutive T20 World Cups? Virat did that. You know what else he did? India played 6 knockout matches between 2014 and 2024. Virat has made a half century or more than that in 5 out of those 6 matches. That's just shy of 400 runs in 6 matches. It makes his average in T20 WC knockout matches over 90. If that's not impactful, I don't know what is.

Is impact related to strike rate? Virat scored 70 off 29 against West Indies, 94 in some 50 odd balls against WI, and his century against Afghanistan came in 52 balls. The first knock has a strike rate of over 200. Virat chased down 48 off the last 3 overs against Pakistan at the MCG in 2022 and 39 off the last 3 overs against Australia at Mohali in 2016. The latter was a virtual quarter final, and Virat's knock guaranteed India's progress to the semi finals.

Is impact related to hitting sixes? Well, for all that Jos is a renowned six-hitter, it was Virat's six against Haris Rauf at the MCG was declared the shot of the century by ICC. An equation that read 28 off 8 became 16 off 6. It was Virat who hit the two sixes that were required to get it down till here.

Virat has time and again won matches out of nowhere for India. The Mohali 82 against Australia, the MCG 82 against Pakistan, the 72 in 2014 SFs vs South Africa, I can go on and on here-- Heck, Virat was most of the, if not the sole reason that India got as far as they did in the 2014, 2016 and 2022 editions of the T20 World Cup. He is a massively impactful player, who delivers whenever needed. Even yesterday's final, take Virat's 76 out of the equation and we had only a 100 on the board to defend. I doubt even Jasprit could have done much with that.

Virat ended his career in T20s as unquestionably the best T20 player of this generation. Nobody comes close to having the kind of impact he does on the game. He carried India in almost every single T20 World Cup he played, and nobody deserved to lift that trophy as much as he did.

I did not intend this as an insult to Jos. He is a great player, one of the very best to have played the game, but he's not better than Virat. Nope, sorry, he isn't. And it isn't limited to Jos either. There isn't any player in the world, not Rohit, not Warner, not Babar, not Maxwell, no nobody in this generation comes close to having the kind of class, poise and impact of Kohli in T20s.

People are allowed differing opinions - sure, the stats say Virat but in terms of coming in when the team needs and changing the game momentum Jos is one of the best at having an impact

Numbers aren’t always everything, I think is the point the original ask was making. And honestly, looking at the tournament that just concluded, VK really only made an impact in the final, whilst Jos was a lynchpin to a lot of England’s batting innings.

Not saying you’re wrong and - as I said - everyone has opinions and it’s great they’re different because it allows us to discuss thing :) But I think the original ask was talking more about match impact than stats. There is a reason he was RR’s impact batsman for the IPL this year.

[ad_1] KKR vs RCB in the IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens (PC: Debasis Sen) “Yes, it is very daunting,” said Andy Flower, RCB’s head coach, on the eve of the franchise’s game against KKR. “For KKR. I hope it is an El Clasico tomorrow night. That’ll be a brilliant way to start IPL 2025.” The defending champions were expected to win the opening encounter of the 2025 IPL, especially with KKR having Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine at their disposal. So, when Flower made that bold statement, a few eyebrows might have been raised in the press conference room. As it happened, RCB conquered KKR’s home patch by thumping their fancied opponent. Somewhere, it tells us that there is a little more steel attached to the current RCB line-up. The assertion isn’t based on a solitary game either. Even last season, after a disastrous start, RCB won 6 out of their next 7 matches and qualified for the play-offs. Returning to the KKR-RCB game, at one point of time, the home side seemed to be on the right track. At 109 for 2 in the 11th over, with Ajinkya Rahane oozing class, KKR would have eyed a score in excess of 200. Unfortunately, despite possessing a power-packed batting unit, all they could muster was a total of 174. RCB’s bowlers had just navigated a way out of a quagmire with some smart and nerveless bowling. For starters, Krunal Pandya kept it simple by zooming the ball on the stumps and waiting for the batters to make mistakes. Meanwhile, Josh Hazlewood put on a clinical performance, blending hit-the-deck skills with nip, variations and control. Yash Dayal too showed some smarts in the slog overs by pulling the length back and using the left-arm angle and cutters to good effect. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Virat Kohli and Liam Livingstone vs KKR in the IPL 2025 (PC: Debasis Sen) RCB also followed that up by some fearless batting, with Phil Salt and Virat Kohli pulverising the KKR attack. At the completion of 6 overs itself, RCB were 80 for no loss. Salt had also taken care of KKR’s main threat, Varun, by collecting three fours and a six in a single over. In fact, Salt might turn out to be a game-changer right through the season. He is just the kind of player who could take the game away from the opposition in the PowerPlay. It was also just the kind of start that Rajat Patidar, the new skipper, would have hoped for. He might have bungled a bit at the toss by not remembering his impact-player options. But through the course of the first innings, he looked calm and collected. The idea to squeeze in an extra over of spin at the back end of KKR’s innings was one of the subtle moves which showed that he has the required tactical acumen. It has to be observed that under his leadership, Madhya Pradesh did reach the final of the 2024 Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy. The main question remains unanswered. Can RCB adorn their empty cabinet with the IPL trophy? Can Flower add one more trophy to his impressive coaching resume? On the back of just one game, it is not right to make a prediction. But there were enough positives to take from their seven-wicket win at Eden Gardens. For RCB and their legions of fans, hope always springs eternal.

When did the pair of Rohit and Virat win the ICC title together?

Team India finally won the Champions Trophy title after 12 years. India won the second consecutive ICC title within 9 months, defeating New Zealand by 4 wickets in the final. Team India remained undefeated throughout the tournament. The Indian team defeated Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand in the group stage. After this, they defeated Australia in the semi-finals. Finally, India defeated New Zealand in the final of the Champions Trophy.

Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India won the second consecutive ICC trophy in 9 months. Earlier, India won the T20I World Cup in the West Indies in June 2024. After winning the Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma clearly said that he will continue to play in ODIs and Test cricket. This is the third time that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have won the ICC trophy together. In this blog, we are going to tell you which ICC tournaments Kohli and Rohit have won together.

ICC Champions Trophy 2013

This was the first ICC tournament that Rohit and Virat won together. India won the Champions Trophy in England in 2013 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. In this tournament, Rohit Sharma was selected as the opening batsman for the Indian team. The Indian team won this tournament by remaining undefeated. Rohit Sharma scored a total of 177 runs in the entire tournament while Virat Kohli scored 176 runs. The Indian team defeated South Africa, West Indies and Pakistan in the group stage, while defeating Sri Lanka in the semi-finals, while India defeated hosts England by 5 runs in the final. Virat Kohli’s dance became quite famous after winning the tournament.

ICC T20I World Cup 2024

The Indian team got the second ROKO moment when Rohit and Virat (ROKO) won the ICC T20I World Cup 2024 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. The Indian team also won this tournament by remaining undefeated. Rohit Sharma was the highest run scorer for the Indian team. He has scored 257 runs for his team, while on the other hand, Virat Kohli failed in every match before the final, but he scored 76 runs in the biggest stage of the World Cup and became the Player of the Match. He scored 151 runs but his innings in the final are still remembered by the fans. After winning the World Cup, Rohit and Virat gave many unforgettable glimpses to the Indian fans.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025

The latest ICC trophy won by both legendary Indian players became the Champions Trophy 2025. India won this tournament again under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. India once again remained undefeated till the end of the tournament. Virat Kohli scored 218 runs in the tournament and became the second-highest run-scorer for the Indian team after Shreyas Iyer, who scored 243 runs. Kohli scored a brilliant century against Pakistan and an innings of 84 runs against Australia in the semi-finals. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma gave a quick start in every group stage match and semi-final, but he was not able to convert his innings into big scores. But he scored 76 runs in the final and became the Player of the Match. Now, Team India’s players will play in the upcoming matches in IPL.

Interestingly, when Rohit and Virat win an ICC tournament together, the Indian team never loses the match. They are the pillars of the Indian cricket team. After the match, Rohit clearly said that “we have not retired and will continue to play in ODIs and Tests.”

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Jasprit Bumrah Ordered Bed Rest as BCCI Blocks His Return

Champions Trophy 2025: The latest update on Jasprit Bumrah has raised serious concerns about his availability for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He sustained the back spasm after being over bowled in Australia during the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

Jasprit Bumrah is currently under medical supervision after being advised to take bed rest at home. Following a grueling Test tour of Australia, the Indian pace spearhead returned home last week, but his condition remains alarming due to swelling in his back.

Jasprit Bumrah under medical supervision, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 participation remains uncertain

Sources revealed that Bumrah is expected to report to the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. But there is no clarity on when he would visit the Centre of Excellence (CoE), putting his participation in the Champions Trophy 2025 in jeopardy.

However, Jasprit Bumrah is likely to visit the Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru next week, but that totally depends on his progress. The sources further revealed that the medical experts have asked Bumrah for rest to allow the swelling to subside so that they would be able to determine the next steps for his recovery and treatment.

For now, the focus remains on ensuring the Indian pacer’s back muscles recover fully and swelling subsides before any further decisions are made regarding his fitness and future plans. However, if there is only swelling, then Bumrah might be available for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Jasprit Bumrah could go to the CoE next week: Report

A source close to the development was quoted as saying by Times of India: “Bumrah could go to the CoE next week, but right now there is no fixed date yet. He has been advised to have bed rest at home to help the muscles recover and the swelling to subside. Once that is done, the future course of action will be ascertained.”

As Bumrah is currently struggling with back swelling, Team India’s premier pacer won't be rushed back into the action. Given his history of back problems, the BCCI has been warned against rushing him back onto the cricket field.

It is being said that the exact cause of the swelling is still unclear, but if it's more serious than expected, his recovery might take longer, and he could miss the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 to be held in Pakistan and Dubai.

BCCI faces tough decision as Jasprit Bumrah battles back swelling

The source further noted, “Bed rest doesn't sound good. I hope it's not a disc bulge or a muscle swelling that is of a higher grade. The approach has to be similar with him—wrap him in cotton wool and preserve the talent like him.”

So, now the Indian cricket team management and selectors are hoping that Jasprit Bumrah's back issue should be just limited to swelling, as a disc-related problem could further delay his return. With a packed calendar ahead, including the Champions Trophy 2025, IPL 2025, and India's England tour, carefully and patiently managing the Indian pacer’s recovery is crucial.

India is yet to finalize their provisional squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, as the national selectors are waiting for the medical team’s report before taking a call on Bumrah’s inclusion in the 15-member squad. They are hoping to get a clear picture in the next couple of days.

Top 3 Centuries By Virat Kohli In The IPL ​

Virat Kohli has a legitimate claim to be the best batsman in contemporary cricket. Around the course of his more than ten-year international career, former India captain Virat Kohli has made bowlers' lives miserable all around the world. The batting icon is just the second Indian batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to reach the 25,000-run mark in international cricket, having already amassed over 27,000 runs. With 81 tons under his belt, Kohli is also ranked second among batsmen with the most hundreds in international cricket. He moved up to second position after surpassing Ricky Ponting's record of 71 centuries with a century against Bangladesh in the third ODI in 2022. Out of all the players that are currently playing, Kohli has the most international hundreds. The top slot is occupied by the ‘God of Cricket’ Sachin Tendulkar, who has amassed an incredible 100 international hundreds. Although he has amassed 50 hundreds in the One-Day International format, Virat Kohli has amassed 30 centuries in Test cricket and one hundred in the shortest version of the game.

But the single ton in the T20Is among Virat Kohli total centuries led many people to believe that the stalwart isn’t as good in the shortest format as the other ones. However, when you look at his Indian Premier League (IPL) stats, you’ll find eight centuries just lying around. These centuries go on to show how potent he is in the T20s as well. By the way, he has the most number of centuries in the IPL, just above Jos Buttler who has seven centuries. The 35-year-old has only ever played for RCB, having been a member since the 2008 IPL season. He has amassed a record 8004 runs from 244 innings in the IPL, including 55 half-centuries in addition to the eight tons. He is the IPL's top run scorer with these figures. Despite not being able to guide RCB to an IPL championship in 13 years, Kohli has been one of the most successful hitters in the lucrative competition.

Top IPL Centuries By Virat Kohli

113* vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2024

In the IPL 2024 edition, Kohli scored his eighth and most recent century against the Rajasthan Royals. Once more, when he batted first, Kohli was the only one who anchored the innings. Together with Faf du Plessis, he forged a 125-run stand, hitting 113* off 72 balls. During his innings, Kohli smashed 12 fours and four sixes to stay undefeated. Jos Buttler reached 100* off just 58 balls to put the Royals over the finish line in 19.1 overs, but once more, the century did not come in a winning cause.

113 vs Kings XI Punjab, IPL 2016

This is his greatest IPL score to date and the fourth of four hundreds that Kohli recorded in the 2016 season. By virtue of the Duckworth Lewis technique, RCB defeated KXIP by 82 runs thanks to the knock of 50-ball 113, which also kept them in the running for the playoffs. At a strike rate of 226.00, Kohli hit 12 fours and 8 sixes throughout the 113-run innings. 

109 vs Gujarat Lions, IPL 2016

One of the most notable partnerships that AB de Villiers and Kohli have forged since joining RCB in 2011 occurred in 2016. In the season's 44th encounter, RCB hosted the now-defunct Gujarat Lions. With five fours and eight sixes, Kohli scored 109 from 55 balls. Up to 112 of the 229 runs in the pair's partnership came in the final five overs. RCB scored 248 runs in all, and the Gujarat squad was dismissed for 104 runs in response.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): A Deep Dive into Their Playoff History

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the most iconic franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite their popularity and star-studded lineups over the years, RCB has had a complicated journey in the IPL. The franchise is known for its explosive performances and dedicated fanbase, but the elusive IPL trophy has remained just out of reach. A common question fans often ask is, "How many times has RCB qualified for the playoffs?" The answer is that RCB has made it to the playoffs nine times as of 2024. However, their performance in the finals has been less than fortunate, as they have reached the finals three times but are yet to win the championship.

RCB’s Journey to the Playoffs: An Overview

RCB has had a roller-coaster history when it comes to qualifying for the IPL playoffs. Despite a strong batting lineup and some of the most iconic players in the IPL, the team has struggled with consistency. Let’s break down their playoff appearances season by season:

2009: After a disappointing start in 2008, RCB found their rhythm in the 2009 season. Anil Kumble led the team to their first playoff and eventually to the final, where they faced the Deccan Chargers. Despite a spirited effort, RCB lost the final. However, this marked the beginning of their journey as one of the top contenders in the IPL.

2010: In the 2010 season, RCB maintained their competitive form and once again reached the playoffs. However, their journey ended in the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by the Mumbai Indians. Although they didn’t make it to the final, RCB proved they were a force to be reckoned with.

2011: The 2011 season was a golden opportunity for RCB. They topped the points table, largely thanks to the power-hitting of Chris Gayle, who was in sensational form. RCB reached the final for the second time but fell short, losing to the Chennai Super Kings. It was another heart-breaking defeat, as they missed out on the trophy despite a stellar season.

2015: After a few seasons of inconsistency, RCB bounced back in 2015, reaching the playoffs again. With Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Mitchell Starc in their ranks, RCB looked strong but were eliminated in the semi-finals by Chennai Super Kings. It was another close call, but the wait for their first title continued.

2016: The 2016 IPL season was RCB’s best chance at clinching their maiden title. Virat Kohli was in sensational form, scoring a record 973 runs with four centuries. RCB reached their third final, but despite being favorites, they were beaten by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The loss added to their tally of missed opportunities, as the title continued to evade them.

2020: After a four-year playoff drought, RCB made a comeback in 2020 under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Although they had moments of brilliance, they were knocked out in the eliminator by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The season ended in disappointment, but RCB’s return to the playoffs was a positive sign.

2021: RCB secured a playoff spot for the second consecutive year in 2021. With consistent performances throughout the season, hopes were high. However, they were once again eliminated in the eliminator, this time by Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite the loss, RCB showed they were building a consistent, competitive team.

2022: In 2022, RCB made it to the playoffs for the third straight season. They won the eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants but were defeated by Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier. While the wait for an IPL title continued, RCB’s consistency in reaching the playoffs was becoming a hallmark of the team.

2024: In the 2024 IPL season, under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, RCB qualified for the playoffs once again. Although they put up a strong fight, they were unable to make it to the final. With nine playoff appearances, RCB has consistently been among the top teams, but the elusive IPL trophy remains a distant dream.

How Many Times Has RCB Qualified for the Final?

In addition to asking, "How many times has RCB qualified for the playoffs?", another common question is how many times they’ve reached the final. RCB has made it to the IPL final on three occasions: 2009, 2011, and 2016. Unfortunately, RCB has lost all three finals.

2009 Final: RCB’s first final appearance came in 2009, where they faced Deccan Chargers. Despite a strong run to the final, they couldn’t cross the line and finished as runners-up.

2011 Final: RCB was in prime form in 2011, largely due to Chris Gayle’s exceptional performances. They finished at the top of the points table and reached the final. However, Chennai Super Kings outplayed them, handing RCB their second final defeat.

2016 Final: The 2016 season is often remembered for Virat Kohli’s record-breaking run-scoring spree. RCB looked destined to win their first IPL title, but Sunrisers Hyderabad had other plans, defeating them in the final and leaving RCB without a trophy for the third time.

Challenges Faced by RCB in Playoff Matches

RCB’s struggle in the playoffs can be attributed to several factors. Despite having some of the most explosive players in the league, the team has often faltered at crucial moments. Here are some of the challenges RCB has faced in their playoff runs:

Inconsistent Bowling Lineup: One of RCB’s primary weaknesses over the years has been their bowling attack. While their batting, led by stars like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle, has often been their strength, their bowling has lacked consistency, especially in the death overs.

Over-Reliance on Key Players: RCB has frequently relied on individual brilliance to carry them through matches. While players like Kohli and de Villiers have delivered spectacular performances, this dependence has often left the team vulnerable when these stars fail to fire.

Pressure of Knockout Matches: RCB has struggled to handle the pressure in high-stakes knockout matches. Whether it’s nerves or strategic missteps, they have often underperformed in finals and eliminators. Building a mentally resilient team is essential for RCB to go all the way.

What Lies Ahead for RCB?

RCB’s repeated playoff appearances show they are always in the mix, but winning the IPL title remains the ultimate goal. For them to break the jinx and finally claim the trophy, a few key factors will be crucial:

Building a Balanced Squad: RCB needs to focus on assembling a well-rounded team with depth in both batting and bowling. Strengthening their bowling lineup, especially in the death overs, will be critical.

Developing Young Talent: Investing in young players, especially bowlers, will add depth to the team and allow RCB to be more consistent. Nurturing talent will help them avoid over-reliance on a few star players.

Mental Strength in Big Games: RCB’s history in knockout games shows a pattern of faltering under pressure. Addressing this issue and building a mentally resilient squad will increase their chances of finally lifting the IPL trophy.

Conclusion

So, how many times has RCB qualified for the playoffs? The answer is nine times. Despite their numerous playoff appearances, RCB is still in search of their first IPL title. With a strong fan base and a competitive squad, RCB remains one of the most exciting teams in the IPL. As they continue to build and improve, fans hope that the long-awaited IPL title will soon come their way.

ooooh the idea of jos knowing about yashasvi's crush on shubman is very interesting because they play together till 2024 ipl, and in my mind yashasvi is still in his hating shubman era then. because yashasvi debuts june 2023 vs wi, and even opens alongside shubman in a few matches, crafting fine partnerships along the way... but then he doesn't play any international cricket until january 2024 which is when he plays the 5 match test series vs england. and that's basically his coming-of-age series, the one where he cemented a spot for himself in the playing 11. shubman and yashasvi started interacting during this series, tbh i dont think there's much interaction of them from yash's debut series.

so in my mind shubman didn't really pay much attention to yashasvi in his debut series-- he was busy having other flings, with hardik or with any other random omegas. jan 2024 is when yashasvi really catches his eye and shubman starts flirting with him. but of course yashasvi knows about shubman's habits by now, and always rejects him. it becomes a fun game for shubman to melt yashasvi, to woo him, yashasvi is annoyed with his relentless advances. so in my mind, by the time ipl rocks around, march/april 2024, shubman is pursuing yashasvi and yash is resisting him. so jos becomes the younger omega's rant partner, as yashasvi bitches and complains about shubman to him, like "look at the oversmart messages this dick is sending me." or "when will he get a hint that i'm not interested?" and so on and so forth.

so when jos gets to know yashasvi is dating shubman, he's very surprised because "i thought you hated him!"

ooh so it's kind of like soulmates, with certain omegas having a pull towards certain alphas? like getting a whiff of an alpha's scent and getting drawn to it? i can totally see that happen with yashasvi and shubman.

ooh maybe that's how it happens, yashasvi is on his debut tour, and out of all the scents in the locker room, he latches onto shubman's. like in a room full of scents, shub's is the one that stands out to him. he brushes the feelings off/ignores it because this is his debut series, he doesn't want to focus on anything but cricket. shubman too barely pays much attention to the debutant, being occupied with other omegas. it vexes yashasvi somewhat, but he can't put a finger on the why of things. but until the england series, he and shubman aren't really anything more than acquaintances.

in the england series, yashasvi finally catches shubman's eye and the alpha starts pursuing him. yashasvi is determined to refuse him because he knows how shubman treats his omegas. as shubman refuses to give up, yashasvi finds himself falling for shubman's charm and confidence. he finds himself blushing at every single pick-up line shubman spins. he finds himself actually looking forward to what new plan shubman is cooking up to woo him. but he knows that shubman's attention is not something he can reciprocate because he knows how it will end: yashasvi has no intention of being yet another notch on shubman's bedpost.

during ipl, yash complains to jos about shubman, but jos knows yash well enough to see through him, to realize that yashasvi probably secretly enjoys and is pleased with shubman chasing him, and is kinda sorta playing coy or hard to get.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s a see through him thing; I think he openly tells Jos he likes him. And I actually think this could be something that starts WAY before they actually play together, and when Yash first plays with Jos, he sees the first person he feels like he can be honest with and he latches onto that. Because he can’t talk to Virat about this or any one else he plays with because he’s been so clear on his stance that alphas suck and he’s not interested.

Jos is a blank canvas.

I do like Shub not having a lot of interest in Yash’s debut series - maybe he’s heard Yash is a stuck up omega and he tries but why waste his time trying to break this omega when seventeen others are literally begging for him? But that England series he sees another side of him and he’s hooked.

The soulmates thing is up for debate. Some believe it, some don’t. Example Ben is a MASSIVE believer in the fact there is an omega out there for him, and when he knows he knows. But for someone like Stuart, the idea of being predestined is not something he subscribes to.

Maybe Yash doesn’t believe, but when he catches Shub’s scent on that WI tour he simply cannot stop thinking about him. He calls Jos in a panic about it.

[ad_1] KKR sweating it out at the nets.Picture credit : Debasis Sen   Watching Kolkata Knight Riders’ practice sessions can sometimes be boring. Beyond the fun football that serves as the prelude, it’s about sticking to the process. Andre Russell wows with his close control when they play football. At the nets, he sends the ball into the stands for fun. KKR’s nets sessions give a feel that the team is running on autopilot. This is despite the fact that they have lost their title-winning captain, Shreyas Iyer, and larger-than-life mentor, Gautam Gambhir. Credit goes to the KKR management for retaining the winning core although, in a mega-auction year, it was impossible to keep hold of all the key players who took them to IPL glory in 2024. They lost their impact opener Phil Salt but brought in a like-for-like replacement in Quinton de Kock. Mitchell Starc has been replaced with another left-arm Australian seamer, Spencer Johnson. To complement the latter’s inexperience, Anrich Nortje has been roped in to cover the more experienced overseas fast bowler’s spot. After an impressive debut season in 2024, Angkrish Raghuvanshi is expected to fill in for Nitish Rana. There’s a question mark over Ajinkya Rahane’s batting position, but his leadership credentials are beyond doubt. Once KKR had to part ways with Shreyas, they needed to address the captaincy issue. The defending champions have chosen a proven leader. A winning dressing room is a happy dressing room, and KKR thrive on a team atmosphere where the likes of Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana can seamlessly gel with the side, after coming back from the Champions Trophy. Both had their first training sessions at Eden Gardens on Tuesday. If Varun looked a little flat at the nets, it was probably down to him holding his variation cards close. This is something that Rohit Sharma had spoken about, tongue firmly ensconced in cheek, during the Champions Trophy. Asked about how the India batsmen countered Varun’s trickery at the nets, the skipper had said: “He doesn’t show his variations during practice.” Varun Ckakaravarthy. Pic credits: KKR. At 33 years of age, Varun is in the form of his life. It needed Steve Smith’s skill-set to decode him in the Champions Trophy semi-final, but even the Australian master couldn’t take the attack to the Indian spinner. Spare a thought for Sunil Narine, self-effacing almost to the point of being a shrinking violet, when he is not spinning a web around the opposition or giving the ball a Hail-Mary tonk with the bat. Through several tweaks in his bowling action – he was reported six times between 2014-15 and 2020 – he has been demystified, but not defanged. With 17 wickets and 488 runs, opening the innings, the Trinidadian made the biggest impact during KKR’s title-winning campaign last term. The 36-year-old has been spending extra hours at the nets. Overall, KKR’s playing XI – rather the XII, including the Impact Sub – looks set for the tournament opener against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on March 22. And this is what it might look like… Probable XII: Sunil Narine, Quinton de Kock, Ajinkya Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Spencer Johnson, Varun Chakravarthy, Vaibhav Arora (Impact Sub).
