"Give It? Take It?": In Virat Kohli's Own Words, LSG Give RCB A Send-off

The IPL 2023 will surely be remembered for the rivalry between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. After engaging into an on-field spat during their league-stage match, earlier this month, there's been plenty of social media activity to keep the fire burning. This rivalry does not seem to be stopping anytime soon, especially after Naveen-ul-Haq's Instagram activity. But, it isn't just the LSG pacer but also his franchise whose tweet has gotten Kohli and RCB's fans talking. The Faf du Plessis-led team was handed a six-wicket defeat by Gujarat Titans that also saw them failing to make their place in the Eliminator match against LSG. 

Multiple on-field spats took place when the Royal Challengers and the Super Giants met each other on May 1. RCB batter Kohli had a verbal spat with LSG pacer Naveen-Ul-Haq, following which the home team's mentor Gautam Gambhir also had an exchange with Virat.

Following this heated argument, RCB had shared a video on social media, where Kohli looked pumped up as he celebrated his team's epic triumph.

"That's a sweet win boys, sweet win, let's go!", the video starts with a pumped-up Kohli saying the word that's how we do it. A few seconds into the video, the RCB stalwart was heard saying, "If you can give it, you gotta take it. Otherwise, don't give it."

Now, after RCB got eliminated from the tournament, LSG took the same words used by Kohli while giving his franchise a send-off. "Give it? Take it? Let's leave it. Well fought, @RCBTweets. See you next season," LSG tweeted.

Talking about RCB's last match, after Kohli scored a 61-ball 101 in RCB's 197 for five, it looked like the best effort on the day but Gill, who will be the torchbearer of Indian batting for the next 10 years, showed that he is better than the best.

What Kohli did well, Gill did better as his unbeaten 104 off 52 balls saw Titans chase down the target with ease. Like former India captain Kohli, this was Gill's second successive hundred.

Titans thus finished the league engagements with 20 points while CSK ended second with 17 points ahead of Lucknow Super Giants due to better net run-rate. Mumbai Indians, after their eight-wicket win against SRH, were back in the last four with 16 points.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

T20 WC Live: Netherlands Face Sri Lanka In A Must-Win Game For Dutch

Sri Lanka vs Netherlands LIVE Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Netherlands may be out of the 2024 T20 World Cup even before their match against Sri Lanka ends, if Bangladesh beat Nepal. However, the Dutch need to beat Sri Lanka by a healthy scoreline to keep any hopes of qualifying to the Super 8 stage alive. The game also offers Sri Lanka a chance to get their first win, in what has been a hugely disappointing tournament for the 2014 champions. They would likely finish bottom of their group if they fail to win.
