Moreover, on April 17, about 2.4 crore viewers came together to watch M.S. Dhoni's CSK defend against a high-octane run chase from Royal Challengers Bangalore with bated breath at the M.

IPL 2023: A look at top players from each franchise

<keyword id="1009526" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Punjab-Kings" source="Orion">Punjab Kings</keyword> will be eager to register a big win to keep their <keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL" source="Orion">IPL</keyword> play-off hopes alive against wooden spooners <keyword id="3251768" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delhi-Capitals" source="Orion">Delhi Capitals</keyword>, who will play for pride when the two teams face off here on Wednesday. It has been a roller-coaster ride for PBKS, with six losses and as many wins. They are placed at eighth spot with 12 points and are still in contention to make the qualifiers. However, they need to improve their net run rate (NRR), which stands at -0.268. A 31-run win against the Capitals last week boosted their NRR and morale and the Shikhar Dhawan-led side will hope for an encore and then hope that other results go their way. Punjab will have to put up a much improved effort with the bat. Against Delhi, opener Prabhsimran Singh waged a lone battle. Barring Dhawan, who has been their best batter, and to an extent Prabhsimran Singh, very few PBKS batters have contributed enough to their overall totals. Their bowlers also need to pull up their socks. Boasting of a sound bowling attack with Nathan Ellis, Sam Curran and <keyword id="1381827" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="arshdeep-singh" source="Orion">Arshdeep Singh</keyword>, PBKS have often failed to defend runs. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have had a nightmare of a season and have already been knocked out of the play-off contention. The batting unit has disappointed all season. Delhi's Indian batters, barring <keyword id="2583887" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="axar-patel" source="Orion">Axar Patel</keyword>, have flattered to deceive, putting up a dismal show. The abject failure of <keyword id="548423" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="prithvi-shaw" source="Orion">Prithvi Shaw</keyword> and Sarfaraz Khan has contributed significantly to Delhi Capitals' travails this season, forcing the think-tank to pack all their overseas players at the top. Skipper <keyword id="60604" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="david-warner" source="Orion">David Warner</keyword>, wicketkeeper-batter Phil Salt and all-rounder Mitchell Marsh have given the team some momentum with the willow. But once they are gone, the middle order just crumbles. In their previous game against Punjab, the Capitals looked on course for a comfortable win but then lost eight wickets for 67 runs. The Indian bowlers in the side are not faring as badly as the batters. Three of DC's four wins have come on the back of dominant bowling displays. Old warhorse Ishant Sharma has done his job while the return of Khaleel Ahmed has also helped. Anrich Nortje, who had returned home for personal reasons, is back but it is to be seen if Delhi continue with the four overseas batters at the top or bring the South African pacer to tighten their bowling attack. The spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have bowled economically. The squads: Punjab Kings: Shikhar Dhawan (c), Shahrukh Khan, Matthew Short, Prabhsimran Singh, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Jitesh Sharma, Gurnoor Singh Brar, Rishi Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Atharva Taide, Arshdeep Singh, Baltej Singh, Nathan Ellis, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Harpreet Brar, Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza, Harpreet Bhatia, Vidwath Kaverappa, Mohit Rathee, Shivam Singh. Delhi Capitals: David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Sarfaraz Khan, Aman Hakim Khan, Abhishek Porel (wk), Axar Patel, Khaleel Ahmed, Kuldeep Yadav, Rovman Powell, Rilee Rossouw, Anrich Nortje, Mustafizur Rahaman, Chetan Sakariya, Mukesh Kumar, Phil Salt, Lungi Ngidi, Praveen Dubey, Lalit Yadav, Ripal Patel, Vicky Ostwal, Ishant Sharma, Manish Pandey, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Yash Dhull. Match starts at 7:30 pm IST.

Punjab Kings eye big win to keep play-off hopes alive against Delhi Capitals

Two of the most prolific batters in Indian cricket in the last decade <keyword id="6354486" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="virat-kohli" source="Orion">Virat Kohli</keyword> and <keyword id="13937" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rohit-sharma" source="Orion">Rohit Sharma</keyword> will be up against each other on Tuesday. But both iconic batters are going through contrasting journeys in the ongoing competition. Rohit has been struggling for runs this season but Virat is in brilliant form and scoring runs prolifically. Former India cricketer <keyword id="7567" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="virender-sehwag" source="Orion">Virender Sehwag</keyword> reckons Rohit's problem isn't technical and a lot mental. Speaking on Star Sports' Cricket Live, Sehwag said, "Rohit Sharma is not battling with the bowlers but with himself. There is a mental block. There's no problem with his batting technique. Some confusion is going on in his mind. But the day he gets going, we will make up for all the previous matches." Former South Africa cricketer <keyword id="93360" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Imran-Tahir" source="Orion">Imran Tahir</keyword> has lauded Kohli for consistently scoring runs and termed it a result of his hard work and dedication. "Virat Kohli has always had the urge to score runs. You can score maximum runs in one season, two or three seasons, but if you are successful in doing this for 15 consecutive seasons, then it can be attributed to the result of your hard work and dedication. What Virat has done in the last 15 years is really commendable." Former Australia cricketer Aaron Finch claimed Mumbai Indians' opening batters look confused and that they need to learn from the way CSK opener <keyword id="4238575" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ruturaj-Gaikwad" source="Orion">Ruturaj Gaikwad</keyword>. "MI's opening combination looks confused they are taking a lot of risk. They were looking to hit all the balls. They should learn from Ruturaj Gaikwad, he remains so calm in the middle and hits the loose balls." RCB find themselves at the bottom half of the points table but former India cricketer S Sreesanth has backed Faf du Plessis &amp; Co. to bounce back and regain their form. "RCB still has many matches. This team will definitely win. You look at Delhi itself. After losing six matches, this team is now winning. RCB is already winning. I think RCB will regain its rhythm." Meanwhile, the match between KKR and PBKS ended in the latter's win in a last-over thriller and it was their star duo of Andre Russell and Rinku Singh who took KKR home with the latter hitting the winning run on the last ball of the match. Former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif hailed Rinku Singh for continuously growing his stature. "Credit to Rinku for asking a player like Russell to rotate strike on the fifth ball of the delivery. An uncapped Indian player like Rinku Singh asking a finisher like Russell to come to the non-striker's end shows the confidence this player has in his game. This for me, is a story of IPL." Harbhajan Singh, meanwhile, claimed Russell finding his form back is good news for KKR. "The win against PBKS will give a lot of confidence to KKR. Their star players Andre Russell and Rinku Singh finished the game for them. Russell regaining his form is big news for them."

Rohit Sharma's struggle with the bat is mental, not technical: Virender Sehwag

Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper <keyword id="51324" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="hardik" source="Orion">Hardik</keyword> Pandya expressed his delight over MS <keyword id="6397" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="dhoni" source="Orion">Dhoni</keyword>'s success after Chennai Super Kings (<keyword id="122828" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="csk" source="Orion">CSK</keyword>) secured a place in the IPL 2023 final. He also mentioned that it would be delightful to encounter him in the final match on Sunday. Put into bat, the CSK opener <keyword id="4238575" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ruturaj-gaikwad" source="Orion">Ruturaj Gaikwad</keyword> starred with the bat as he hit a flamboyant 60(44) to lay the platform. Towards the end, Ambati Rayudu, <keyword id="6359948" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ravindra-jadeja" source="Orion">Ravindra Jadeja</keyword> and Moeen Ali chipped in with cameos as CSK managed to post a competitive total of 172/7. In reply, GT couldn't manage to build up any significant partnerships as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Ravindra Jadeja (2/18) and Maheesh Theekshana (2/28) then spun a web around the GT batters with spin, pace and bounce as a collective bowling effort saw CSK bowl GT out for 157 and cruise into their 10th IPL final.Speaking after the loss Hardik said basic errors cost them the game, adding that the team doesn't need to dwell too deeply on the defeat and instead, our focus is on regrouping and preparing for Qualifier two. "I think we were quite spot-on (with the ball), but we made basic errors and that cost us the game. The kind of bowlers we had, I felt we conceded 15 extra runs. A lot of things we did right. We bowled a couple of soft balls in between. We were executing our plans and then in between we gave some runs. I don't think we need to look much into it. "We have to play two days later, we have to play one more game to make sure we reach the final. Just focus on the things that we've done really well this season," said Hardik at the post-match presentation. Hardik further congratulated Dhoni and said the CSK skipper has made it seem like he adds an additional 10 runs to the team's total through strategic use of his bowlers. "That's the beauty about him (Dhoni), with his mind and the way he uses the bowlers, he'll make sure that you'll feel like he's adding 10 runs. We kept losing wickets, he kept changing the bowlers, credit to him. Happy for him, would be nice to meet him on Sunday. "Regrets are not good in life. We expected dew would come; it didn't come. We didn't do right in both departments. We'll give a crack again after two days," said Hardik.

The uncertain global economic conditions and competition between JioCinema and <keyword id="421566" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="star-sports" source="Orion">Star Sports</keyword> for advertiser budgets have resulted in a weak start to IPL 2023. On the opening day, the number of TV advertisers was 40% lower than last year, with only 31 live match advertisers against 52 last year. <keyword id="50691" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="digital" source="Orion">Digital</keyword> advertising fared worse, with a 70% drop in advertisers on Day-1 compared to last year when Disney+ Hotstar held the rights. As per media buyers, who carry out competition audits, for Digital, the number of advertisers on Day 1 this year stood at just under 50, compared to 160 last year. It is worth noting that TV and digital advertisers often have different budget profiles, with larger advertisers typically choosing TV and smaller advertisers opting for digital. However, many notable advertisers from last year's IPL, such as <keyword id="3320944" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="byjus" source="Orion">Byjus</keyword>, Cred, Muthoot, and Netmeds, were absent this year. Despite the drop in advertisers, media buying agencies expect spending to pick up as viewership data from the opening match has been encouraging. As per BARC, Star Sports saw a 29% increase in TV ratings, with viewership reaching 140 million on the opening day. <keyword id="2003276" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="jio" source="Orion">Jio</keyword>Cinema reported a peak concurrency of 1.6 crore whereas Star Sports recorded 5.6 crore. Media reports suggest that Star Sports had clocked Rs 2,200 crore in ad revenues just ahead of the start of IPL 2023, while Jio had achieved Rs 1,400 crore.
