On Saturday, May 11, at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Mumbai Indians squared off in Match 60 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024).
The game was postponed for over two hours because of the nonstop rain. But with altered rules—16 overs for each side—the match was played again. One bowler may bowl a maximum of four overs, and four bowlers may bowl a maximum of three overs. The mid-innings break was reduced in length to ten minutes.
After allowing rain to interrupt a game, the Mumbai Indians won the toss and decided to bowl first. The rain had a significant impact on MI’s decision to field an unaltered squad for the game. But KKR made one significant move: Nitish Rana was added to the team and Angkrish Raghuvanshi was benched.
“Let’s go bowling. I only want to watch the pitch’s behaviour. For the past two days, it has been covered. We’re all aware of the statistics, but on the day of play, you have to show up and play well. @Hardik Pandya stated during the toss, “Same team.”
“I tried the toss again, and it came down heads again (smiles at his record of losing tosses).” While it’s inevitable, it’s essential in these kinds of games. But I won’t accept those justifications. Next to our team, we would like the Q. Shreyas Iyer to state at the toss, “Nitish comes in for Angkrish.
