Mayank Yadav returns in LSG’s playing XI, while Quinton de Kock faced the axe to make way for Ashton Turner….Read More After back-to-back losses in their ongoing campaign in IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians’ chances to make the playoffs this season significantly reduced. And if they lose today at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow against the KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants, they will find themselves in the same situation as Royal Challengers Bengaluru. When the season had kicked, Mumbai looked one of those teams who were certain to make the playoffs despite their lack of spin options. On paper, they had the best batting and pace unit. Yet, injuries of Jason Behrendorff and Dilshan Madushanka and their replacements – Luke Wood and Kwena Maphaka – having a poor run of form, along with Nuwan Thushara, have left MI in a precarious position. Furthermore, Gerald Coetzee, despite his 12 wickets in eight games, has been rather inconsistent with the ball. Jasprit Bumrah, with 14 wickets at an economy rate of well under seven, has been their only standout bowler.
Lucknow, too, head into the match on the back of a loss in their previous game, yet they are favourites to inflict damage on Mumbai for two reasons – they will be playing at home and have been boosted by the return of Mayank Yadav.
However, amid the IPL 2024 battle in Lucknow and the scenarios for the two teams for the playoffs, the one that will take centrestage will be Rahul. The LSG skipper will have one last shot, probably, to stake claim on the second wicketkeeper’s spot in the Indian team before BCCI announces the T20 World Cup squad.
Rahul’s strike-rate in the shortest format has always been a bone of contention. Despite the advantage of field restrictions in the Powerplay, Rahul has always been a slow starter in IPL. However, the LSG captain has managed to change gears this season. In the 2024 edition, he scored 378 runs at a strike rate of 144.27 but it is still less than that of Rishabh Pant (160.60) and Sanju Samson (161.08).
While comeback man Pant has all but sealed the first wicketkeeper’s spot for the World Cup tournament in the Caribbean islands and the USA in June by displaying some sharp work behind the stumps and sensational knocks with the bat, Samson has also made a strong case for himself by playing match-winning knocks for Rajasthan Royals at a brisk pace.
In such a scenario, Rahul needs to play more fearlessly and exploit the field restrictions not only to strengthen his Indian team selection prospects but also to help his side score in excess of 200 runs, which has become a norm in this edition.
KL Rahul provides update on Mayank Yadav’s injury
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul heaped praise on his team’s middle order for holding nerves in the chase. 
“We still had batters in the middle. An experienced batter in Pooran and KP is seasoned as well. Was a bit dry. 165-170 would have made it a competitive game. It takes time to adjust to this wicket,” he said. 
The LSG captain was also impressed with his powerplay for their incredible show in the powerplay. 
“Our bowlers did well and put pressure on them. Always happy when you get those two points. We need to gain momentum in the back end of the tournament and the momentum helps,” he added. 
Rahul further also talked about Mayank Yadav’s injury and revealed that he felt some discomfort in his sides while bowling the third over. 
“I haven’t spoken to Mayank much. He had some pain in his sides. He said thoda dukh raha hai. So, I asked him to go out. He is useful for us. We need to take care of him. He bowled wide yorkers and slower bumpers today which was good to see. We are giving him a free hand,” he concluded

Nehal Wadhera will play a lot of IPL and represent India in future: Hardik Pandya
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya admitted that losing too many wickets in the powerplay hurt his team in the crucial clash here. 
“I think losing early wickets is tough to recover from and that’s what we couldn’t do it (recover) today. You still have to see the ball and hit. We just missed those balls and got out, that has been the kind of season we have had so far,” he added. 
However, he said there are a lot of things that need to be learned from this game. 
“I have always believed that you will be up and you’ll be up, just that you got to give it your all. A lot of things to learn from this game. It has been fantastic,” he said. 
Meanwhile, Pandya heaped big praise on Nehal Wadhera for his fighting 46-run knock and said he has the potential to play for India in future. 
“I think he (Wadhera) did last year as well, he couldn’t get opportunities earlier (in the tournament) but he will play a lot of IPL and (represent) India eventually,” he concluded.

As Bayern Munich continues to search for a new coach, Zinedine Zidanes name has been floated around as a potential option to take over for Thomas Tuchel after the season.
Zidanes inability to speak German or English seems to be a roadblock to making that happen, but that did not stop the all-time great player from giving his take on todays Champions League showdown between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
The clashes weve had with Bayern have always been very nice games. They are the games we always want to play, because Bayern are also competitive very, very strong. Its not going to be easy. It has the status of a European classic. But at the same time, Madrid are Madrid, Zidane told Guillermo Rai of The Athletic (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Madrid might be Madrid…but playing at the Allianz Arena against a hungry Bayern Munich side will present a massive challenge even to a team who has won so much, so often.
Looking for more thoughts and analysis on Bayern Munichs massive Champions League showdown with Real Madrid?

Rahul took an excellent catch off Hardik (X.com)
On a day when Rohit Sharma departed cheaply, Hardik Pandya fell for a golden duck, bringing all sorts of trouble to Mumbai Indians in a must-win tie against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday (April 30).
After KL Rahul won the toss and asked MI to bat first, the five-time champions began to lose wickets in quick succession from the get-go. Naveen-ul-Haq joined the party later on, as he got the big fish in Hardik just when MI wanted him to steady the ship.
It was a pitched up delivery by Naveen, who tried to tempt Hardik for a drive. The MI skipper did exactly that, and it cost him hard. The ball could only get a thick outside edge, and Rahul made no mistake while taking a sharp low catch with the big gloves.
With the wicket, Mumbai slipped to 27/4 in just 5.2 overs, leaving LSG fans to erupt in their own backyard.
At the time of writing this, MI are 41/4 after eight overs, with Nehal Wadhera and Ishan Kishan in the middle, on 8* and 8* respectively. LSG are keeping the heat, leaving Mumbai in tatters.

ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING LOSS weighed on Los Angeles Lakers coach Darvin Ham as he maneuvered Saturday night I-110 traffic to catch a redeye flight back to his personal basketball bliss.
It was March 16, and Ham’s Lakers had just been handled at home by the Golden State Warriors for their third loss in their past five games. It was L.A.’s second straight defeat to a team it was battling with for playoff seeding — the Sacramento Kings had controlled the action three nights earlier.
Ham’s trip wasn’t just taking him 2,300 miles east, but 20 years back in time. The Detroit Pistons were celebrating the franchise’s 2004 championship team two decades after they beat Ham’s current employer in an NBA Finals run still heralded as one of the most shocking in league history. Ham played in 76 games that year for the Pistons, including 22 in the playoffs and all four of Detroit’s Finals wins.
Following a few hours of sleep at the Godfrey Hotel in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood, Ham piled into a Sprinter van with a handful of his former teammates to head to Little Caesars Arena, where they were honored during a halftime ceremony.
“The pride of Saginaw, he brought the muscle, the power, both offensively and defensively,” Pistons public address announcer John Mason bellowed into the microphone when it was Ham’s turn to be introduced. “Say hello to dunkin’ Daaaaaarvin Ham!”

A pyrotechnics display spit flames toward the arena roof as Ham took the court with Europe’s “The Final Countdown” accompanying the intros, a throwback to the tune used when franchise icons such as Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton were announced in the starting lineup inside the old Palace of Auburn Hills.
But the timing of Ham’s trip — during the middle of a second straight challenging season with the Lakers — made the song title applicable to what the 50-year-old coach was feeling back in L.A.
And all those former Pistons, whose shared proudest moment was upsetting the purple and gold, were now rallying around Ham.
“That’s family,” Ham told ESPN of his former Pistons teammates. “And so [the message was], like, ‘Don’t worry about it. Keep pushing through, man.’ You know, ‘You did it last year [to reach the conference finals].’
“‘Your way works. Stick to your guns. Stick to your gut.’ And ‘Things are going to work themselves out.'”
But for a second straight season, the Denver Nuggets’ way worked better, this time in the first round of the 2024 playoffs, putting Ham’s job very much in jeopardy, league sources told ESPN. The Lakers plan to conduct a postmortem on the season in the coming days before making a decision on Ham’s future, a team source told ESPN.
A surprise trip to the conference finals a year ago was followed by a chaotic season, headlined by the Lakers’ triumph in the league’s inaugural in-season tournament but hampered by injuries and inconsistency en route to the Western Conference’s seventh seed.

Nuggets assert dominance over Lakers, win series 4-1
Jamal Murray’s late-game heroics power the Nuggets past the Lakers and into the second round.
As the Lakers enter the offseason, the franchise finds itself in flux beyond deciding who will be roaming the sidelines next season. The future of LeBron James, who has a player option worth $51.4 million for 2024-25, remains a mystery. Sources told ESPN that, as recently as last week, team officials still did not know the league’s all-time leading scorer’s plans of what he will do with his contract.
But James’ continued ability to stave off Father Time and Anthony Davis coming off perhaps his most complete season as a Laker, team sources said, has left L.A. believing that the championship window for this core has not closed, and if a different voice is needed to lead the group, the franchise will make the financial commitment to do so.
THE LAKERS STUMBLED out of the gates this season with an opening-night loss — to the champion Nuggets on their ring night — leading to a 3-5 start. It was enough for Ham to switch around his starting lineup. He benched guard Austin Reaves on Nov. 10, replacing him with Cam Reddish in an attempt to shore up the Lakers’ defense. A unit that had been such a staple during its 2023 postseason run was giving up 121.4 points per game in those early losses and ranked 19th in the league in defensive efficiency through Nov. 8.
The Lakers won 12 of their next 16 games, climbing to No. 4 in the Western Conference standings. The run culminated in Las Vegas, with the Lakers topping the Indiana Pacers in the NBA’s inaugural in-season tournament.
All that winning came with a catch. The internal expectations to win the championship in June only heightened, while the fallout from shuffling his lineup — first benching Reaves and later D’Angelo Russell while sticking with Taurean Prince even after Jarred Vanderbilt had returned from a left heel injury that cost him the first 20 games of the season — hurt Ham’s reputation both inside and outside the organization, sources told ESPN.
2024 NBA offseason
The 2023-24 regular season is complete, which means some teams are already in offseason mode. We’ve got everything you need to prepare for a busy summer in the NBA.

“It’s been extremely challenging,” Ham said. “Everyone that’s been in and out of the lineup. Being criticized for not having a consistent rotation when I don’t have consistent healthy bodies. The thing that frustrates me, and I love this job, I love the pressure that comes with it, I’ve always been calm in the midst of chaos … [But] common sense tends to go out the window when you talk about my job in particular.
“It’s amazing how people just skip that core part of having a consistency with your lineup is all predicated on health and performance. If you’re coaching a team and one of your starters is like 10 games in a row, just s—ting the bed, what are you going to do?”
James’ 71 games played were his most as a Laker and Davis’ 76 appearances were the most in his 12-year career, but the Lakers’ role players filled the injury list. Vanderbilt (53 games), Reddish (34 games) and free agent signees Gabe Vincent (71 games) and Christian Wood (32 games) all missed significant time. The Lakers ranked sixth in the NBA in missed games due to injury.
Whatever momentum the Lakers built during their run to the in-season tournament had vanished; a 4-11 stretch afterward sent L.A. spiraling to 13th in the West.
It all wore on James, sources told ESPN. While James’ right foot injury from last season had mostly healed — the torn tendon he tried to play on being so draining he contemplated retirement last summer — he was now managing a chronically sore left ankle.

But the team needed the oldest player in the league to continue shouldering the production in order to stay afloat in one of the most competitive Western Conference fields in years.
“It’s just been doing a lot of extra everything,” James, 39, told ESPN. “Just staying on point about it and not getting discouraged at times where one game I feel great, then the next day I wake up, or the next game, I don’t feel as great. But that’s just part of the process.”
ONE WEEK BEFORE the Feb. 8 trade deadline, the Lakers had suffered back-to-back blowout losses to the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks and James had fired off his cryptic “hourglass” tweet. Meanwhile, the team’s next game was on the road against the league’s No. 1 team, the Boston Celtics, without James and Davis, who were late scratches.
Despite having their two superstars in street clothes, the Lakers looked as dangerous as they had all season.
“I told ’em before the game, we’re missing our two big dogs or old dogs, whatever you want to call ’em,” Ham told ESPN. “And these are my exact words in the pregame talk after the film had went off, I said, ‘When I look around this locker room, I see a bunch of young, hungry, talented pit bulls. And the only mistakes we can make is to not give multiple efforts and not have a next-play mentality.’
“I said, ‘Go to the basket, miss a layup? F— it. Next play. Referee calls a bulls— foul? F— it. Next play. Play great defense, they got an offensive rebound? F— it. Next play.'”
The Lakers pulled out the 114-105 win, with James and Davis eagerly cheering on the sideline.

Windhorst to McAfee: I don’t see LeBron leaving LA or retiring
Brian Windhorst explains to Pat McAfee why he doesn’t believe LeBron James will leave the Lakers or retire in the offseason.
“They just f—ing came out and played unbelievable,” Ham told ESPN. “And gave themselves that confidence and showed our two team captains [that] we can get this s— done.”
The Lakers won their first three games of February and the trade deadline passed without Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka making any deals. While James privately hoped L.A. would part with either its 2029 or 2030 first-round draft pick to upgrade its talent for a postseason push, sources told ESPN, he immediately shifted into recruiter mode.
James pitched guard Spencer Dinwiddie on signing with the Lakers after being bought out of his contract with the Brooklyn Nets. Dinwiddie told ESPN that James’ appeal, perhaps even more than returning to play for his hometown team, was instrumental in his decision.
Starting with the short-handed win in Boston on Feb. 1, the Lakers finished the season 23-10 — the fifth-best record in the league during that stretch. They surged to third in the league in offensive efficiency in those 33 games.
The 2023-24 regular season is complete, and the postseason is underway. We have everything you need to follow along for another epic title chase.

And they did it with largely the same starting lineup that got L.A. to the West finals last season: James, Davis, Russell, Rui Hachimura and Reaves. (Reaves returned Jan. 3 to replace Russell, while Russell and Hachimura later replaced Reddish and Prince with the first unit.)
Yet rather than the team’s resiliency being applauded as the prevailing sentiment surrounding the late-season success, multiple team sources told ESPN that the Lakers should have — or even would have — finished better than No. 7 in the West and avoided the play-in tournament had Ham settled on that starting lineup much sooner.
“The job of a coach is to make the best out of what you have,” one team source told ESPN. “And he wasn’t doing that.”
MONDAY’S PLAYOFF EXIT, at the hands of the Nuggets once again, is ultimately how this season will be remembered for the Lakers. Teams that lose in lopsided fashion don’t get together decades later to reminisce, after all.
Posturing for the future already seemingly began before the series was over. Davis appeared to call out Lakers coaches following the Game 2 loss in which the Lakers blew a 20-point lead in Denver.
“We have stretches where we just don’t know what we’re doing on both ends of the floor,” he said.
Ham took exception to the comments, telling reporters he has an “incredibly talented” staff that prides itself in being “highly efficient and organized” and addressed Davis privately, while publicly rebuffing him.
“I’ll agree to disagree on that one,” Ham said.
A team source was confounded by Ham’s lack of accountability, questioning to ESPN the merit in boasting about his coaching staff’s preparedness while the Nuggets ran their winning streak against them into double digits. Ham’s adjustments, or lack thereof, stood out so much that Nuggets coach Michael Malone said in between Games 2 and 3 that his team had “gone over adjustments [for] different players and playcalls that we haven’t even had to show yet.”
James seemingly called out the ability of the rest of the roster, other than Davis, to deliver on the postseason stage after the star duo combined for 59 points in Game 3 while the six other players to see the court scored a combined 46 — punctuated by Russell’s scoreless night on 0-for-7 shooting.
“We know what it takes to win a championship and how damn near perfect you got to be,” James said of himself and Davis. “That’s not like something that’s so crazy to obtain.”
And Hachimura, when asked about the pressure L.A. will feel to make changes, seemingly called out the franchise’s impatience Friday before Game 4 when he said that the main difference between the Lakers and the Nuggets isn’t expertise, it’s experience.
“We have probably played 120 games together, you know?” Hachimura said of the current Lakers core. “And probably, [Denver has] played like a thousand games together. …
“We have the talent, for sure. I don’t think anybody can beat us, just talent-wise. We just got to put everything together.”
The Lakers have to determine what needs to be fixed and to what extent, but they have no clear answer yet as to James’ future. He has until June 29 to opt in for the final year of his contract, guaranteeing a 22nd season during which he’ll turn 40 in December or become a free agent.
While James said during All-Star weekend in February he is “happy” as a Laker and “hopefully” remains with the purple and gold, just how much longer he will play is something only he knows.
Bronny James declares for NBA draft
USC freshman guard Bronny James, the son of NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James, will enter the 2024 NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility and will also enter the transfer portal.

His performance this season — he averaged 25.7 points per game, shattering the record for scoring average in a 21st season — helped him figure out his endgame.
“Listen, I’m not about to just be out there just for cardio,” James told ESPN late in the season. “I love the game. I’m going to be honest, I love it. I love going out there and competing, but I can’t, me personally, I got to be a threat at all times when I’m on the floor. So I take a lot of pride in that.”
Retirement is not far off.
“It’s still coming,” James said. “It’s not like, ‘Oh s—, I’m playing so great this year, you know what? I might play and stick around for even more [time].’ No. It’s coming.
“It’s cool. Because, to be honest, I don’t see myself falling off anytime soon. But then like, what am I doing?”
No matter how the Lakers choose to address their problems this summer after their first-round flameout, James has a personal timeline all his own.
“I got a family,” James said. “I got a 9-year-old daughter. I got a son that’s in college, that’s deciding if he’s going to go to college or go pro. I got a son that’s about to be a senior in high school. I’ve missed a lot of family time and they’ve allowed me to do that and never put no pressure on me. …
“That s— is important too. What more [is left]? I’ve done everything I can do. There’s nothing I haven’t accomplished in this league that I’ve wanted to accomplish. So like at some point you got to [hang it up].”

“We have to accept that this IPL is different.”
Varun Chakaravarthy put it best. He was speaking after Kolkata Knight Riders’ facile seven-wicket win over Delhi Capitals at the Eden Gardens, which for once was a throwback to the era of middling totals.
Coincidentally, there was a little bit in the pitch for the spinners, something that Varun utilized to the utmost en route to bowling figures of 4-0-16-3. The win not only came as a breather for him in what’s largely been an indifferent season but also for his side, which only in its previous game had failed to defend a target of 262. It was the highest run-chase in T20 cricket.
“The last two matches before this, we didn’t defend that well,” Varun admitted. “Because the wickets have become very placid in the second innings and definitely the fact that we got to bowl in the first innings was good. The pitch was also a little helpful.
“The other pitches have also been slow but this pitch was a little bit more turning. That was the difference. The length is basically the same for all the matches. It’s just how the wicket behaves. In other matches, it was not giving this much help but this wicket gave and helped our bowlers.”
Varun spoke about how the side recovered from the despiriting defeat in their last game and posted a crucial win in their next.
“The last match was a very hard pill to swallow,” Varun said. “We had many conversations with the management, we spoke with the coaches Carl Crowe, Bharat Arun sir, Gambhir, Chandrakant sir, Abhishek Nair; everyone chipped in. We came up with many tactics. Even Shah Rukh bhai, he came up to us yesterday and spoke to me lot about… [he said] ‘don’t take it personally, whatever is happening this IPL is just going at a crazy rate, just don’t self doubt yourself’.
“It was a good performance from my side also and the last game was helpful.”
Like others, Varun also felt that Impact Player has had a large role to play in a season of soaring team totals.
“I feel like I have been doing my processes well only but if you see the results, last match and before that, it was not out there. We have to accept that this IPL is different and we have to mentally accept the challenge,” Varun said.
“Last year the Impact Player rule was also there. The main thing is that teams have now understood how to better use the impact player this season. So they all know that there is extra batting and they want to charge from the first ball. And that’s how it’s going. However much the bowlers cry, that’s how it is. We have to take up the challenge. You can’t change the side of the ground or you can’t change anything.”
Varun hailed the effort of new-ball bowlers who ensured that KKR got regular wickets upfront even as Delhi Capitals looked to keep going hard after opting to bat.
“So that has been the trend and if you see Eden Gardens, everyone wants to post big totals and they have a positive intent. I can’t say that it’s wrong but I feel our bowlers in the powerplay, they bowled brilliantly. like how Starc and Vaibhav bowled. So we have to give it to our bowlers this time,” Varun said.
“If they would have scored 190 or 200… I felt it was around 185 to 190 pitch; if they had scored that anything could have happened.”
