IPL Live Score 2024 MI vs RCB, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India's two seniormost batters have had two significantly different approaches this season. Rohit seems to have continued on what he has been doing in ODI cricket, which is smashing everything he sees regardless of whether he stays or gets dismissed in the process. He has thus scored just 118 runs in four matches but it has come at a strike rate of 171.01. Kohli, on the other hand, has tried being aggressive in the powerplay this season and then accumalate runs, an approach that is now being called outdated and indeed, there are instances of players being dropped everywhere including the IPL for playing in that mannter. Kohli is leading the Orange Cap race this season, scoring 316 runs but it has come at a strike rate of 146.29. Which is the right approach? Well it depends on how far their teams go this season.

IPL Live Score 2024 MI vs RCB, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Probably the biggest discussion to have come out of last week is whether you need to score at a good strike rate or not in T20 cricket, which one would have thought is a discussion that was concluded a long time back.

If your team has lost just three wickets throughout the innings, you would expect them to score more than 200 because that is where T20 cricket is at the moment and their opposition for the day, Rajasthan Royals, proved that point. Jos Buttler scored an unbeaten 100 off 58 balls, strike rate of 172.41, and RR won by six wickets with five balls in hand.

IPL Live Score 2024 MI vs RCB, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The aspect of Vyshak's bowling that earned the most praise was the few runs that he had conceded.

IPL Live Score 2024 MI vs RCB, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: There have been few other decisions more puzzling from any team in the IPL this season than RCBs's decision to not include Vyshak Vijaykumar in their squad.

Well you don't take him in the squad for the next two matches of course. How dare he perform like that. RCB fans would be hoping that better sense prevails and he is given a chance today.
