If you're a cricket lover and watch IPL assiduously, you already know everything that’s going on. If you aren’t too clued into the IPL 2019 matches, but are a cricket lover nevertheless, you'll want to know what’s been going on. Either way, these memes will bring you up to date.
The humiliation of RCB at the hands of each of the teams they have played is well known. They have lost to every team.
RCB made 149/8 which DC overhauled in the 19th over.
Rajasthan Royals set the Kolkata Knight Riders a target of 139 losing three wickets. KKR got to 140 in just the 14th over, losing only two wickets.
Some people think there was one – to avoid Andre Russell.
It was a closely fought match with the Surisers setting the Kings XI a 150 run target. KXIP prevailed however, getting the 11 runs needed in the last over; with one ball to spare.
KKR may have aimed high, but they struck low; managing only 108 losing a flood of wickets (9) in their 20 overs. Chennai Super Kings managed to win comfortably by 7 with 18 balls to spare.
Dhoni fans continue to deify their idol and his team above all else. They also feel that Andre Russell against other teams is very different from the way he plays against CSK.
It was another nail-biter that went down to the wire. KXIP set a formidable total of 197/4 for the Mumbai Indians. MI lost more wickets (7) but edged past the KXIP total on the very last ball.
MI needed 104 in the last eight overs, but these two managed to save the day for their team. Pollard scored a powerful 83 from 31 balls.
Rajasthan Royals set CSK a target of 151 losing seven wickets, but SCK edged past on the final ball with 4 wickets to spare.
Ravindra Jadeja played a brand new stroke, one that laid him low and also laid the bowler low. It still went for a six, however.
Another highlight of the match was the never before seen: M S Dhoni losing his cool over a last over no-ball ruling being overturned. He actually walked out on to the field from the dugout to register his protest; for which he was fined half his match fee.
The Kolkata team made 178/7 but the Delhi team got past them with 7 wickets and 7 balls to spare. In match 27, MI take on RR and later KXIP take on RCB in match 28 today, which brings us up to about the halfway mark of IPL 2019.
