The match report by the Veteran: The 5th match of the IPL 2024 was a close one which till the very last ball. In fact, with 19 runs needed in the last over, MI’s captain and who happens to be also GT’s previous captain, started with a six and a four in the very first two balls. However, in the very next ball when he got out, MI did not have enough fire power to get it done. In the end they lost by 6 runs.

In the IL Master group, the Dark Horse claimed the top spot once more. He is in the form of his life. Looks like what he is doing is turning out to be gold. Suddenly out of no where in last 2 overs he came to top because of his selection of Specner Johnson who was an unknown name to the most before this match. We know this is how he plays, he will select Yash Dayal, he will make some random person captain. He may not pick Kohli, but he enjoys what he does, that is the true attitude of a champion. Congratulations.

The second position is taken by the Ingenious. The Ingenious despite or may be because of her ingenuity, more often than not comes to news for all the wrong reason. This match was she was playing fabulously, until the penultimate over changed everything. Such is life in IPL. Hard luck but congratulations for coming second. Better luck next time.

The wooden spoon this time went to the Bond. The Bond remained as a one tournament wonder as he never able to came even close to his own performance after the very first IPL 2023 when this group started playing. Hard luck mate. Best of luck for next matches.
