Former cricketers Bradd Hogg and Harbhajan Singh expressed that the clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be a crucial match not just for the former but also other teams in the mix for playoffs in the IPL 2023. Speaking about the top-tier league, former Aussie cricketer Tom Moody provided his suggestion regarding the inconsistencies in the full-toss no-ball, which was acknowledged by South Africa great AB de Villiers.

Meanwhile, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was seen sweating it out in the gym, lifting weights so as to keep himself fit. On the other hand, Shadab Khan congratulated the U-19 national team on a successful tour of Bangladesh, winning in all three formats.

Six nervous teams tonight hoping RCB lose. CSK & LSG so they definitely see another week of sunrises in the tournament. MI so there's no possibility both finish on 16 points preventing NRR. PBKS RR & KKR see 14 points still a chance of survival hoping for the best NRR. #IPL2023

No ball on the left not on the right. I can't stomach the inconsistence. 🤣 #IPL2023

The interpretation of the full pitch #NoBall is becoming increasingly inconsistent. It needs simplifying, possible solution - If the projected path of the ball is above bail height it’s deemed a No Ball. Thoughts? #IPL2023

AB de Villiers

@ABdeVilliers17

@TomMoodyCricket Also an option👍 ultimately the slower ball will have a higher trajectory, probably above waist height, but because it’s not dangerous it could or should be allowed. Normal paced delivery will be around waist height anyway. Good option this
