  • IPL 2022, GT VS CSK: Miller’s 94 help Gujarat defeat CSK

    GT vs CSK, the 29th match of Tata IPL 2022, was all about David Miller’s gritty and destructive inning that handed Chennai Super Kings their fifth loss of the tournament.

    GT vs CSK Highlights:

    Hardik Pandya could not compete in the game due to a niggle, and Rashid Khan took the responsibility of captaining the side. Gujarat won the toss and elected to bowl first.

    CSK Inning:

    CSK did not have a great start as the man in form Robin Uthappa departed quickly after scoring only 3 off 10.

    Moeen Ali could not add too much to the total as well and scored only one run in the three balls he faced.

    Rayudu and Ruturaj Gaikwad put up a solid 92 run stand for the 3rd wicket to bring CSK into the game.

    However, Rayudu’s dismissal brought a standstill to the scoring rate, and Ruturaj Gaikwad soon followed him in the dressing-room.

    Rayudu scored 46 off 31, while Gaikwad managed 73 off 48, including 5 fours and 5 sixes.

    A burst from Ravindra Jadeja in the death overs saw CSK post 169/5 in the 20 overs. Jadeja played a handy unbeaten knock of 22* off 12.

    GT Inning:

    Gujarat perhaps had the worst start they could imagine. Gill departed for a golden duck while Wriddhiman Shah and Vijay Shankar played too many dots in their insignificant innings.

    The youngster Abhinav Manohar also had an ordinary outing, in which he scored 12 off 12. Gujarat was in deep trouble at 48/4 in 8 overs.

    They needed someone to step up and bat throughout the inning to ensure a victory against Super Kings. David Miller did exactly that as he played a flamboyant unbeaten inning of 94* to take his side home.

    He formed an important 70 run partnership for the 6th wicket with skipper Rashid Khan to change the course of the match. Rashid smashed Jordan in the 18th over to completely change the match in favour of Gujarat Titans. Khan scored 40 off 21. 

    Gujarat Titans won the game with 3 wickets to spare.

  • IPL 2022, PBKS VS SRH: Sunrisers win four on the trot

    PBKS vs SRH, the 28th match of the tournament, was about Sunrisers asserting dominance in the ongoing tournament.

    SRH have bounced back and turned around its campaign completely, with Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram emerging as their key players.

    PBKS vs SRH Highlights:

    Kane Williamson won the toss and asked Punjab to bat first in the game. It was also revealed that Mayank Agarwal missed out on the game due to some niggle. In his absence, Shikhar Dhawan took the reigns of captaincy.

    PBKS Inning:

    Famous for their fiery approach, Punjab Kings had a timid opening stand between Dhawan and Prabhsimran. Dhawan scores 8 off 11, while Prabhsmiran could only muster 14 off 11. Johnny Bairstow, too was unimpressive with his inning of 12 off 10.

    At 48-3, Punjab was in deep trouble, but that did not stop Liam Livingstone from playing his shots. Wickets kept falling at the other end, but Livingstone continued his assault. He scored 60 off 33, including 5 fours and 4 sixes, before getting out on the last ball of the 19th over.

    The 20th over of Punjab’s inning was all about Umran Malik. Punjab lost four wickets in the last over and could not add even a single run to their total. Malik bowled a phenomenal maiden in the 20th over of the game. Absolute top-class stuff by the young gun.

    Punjab Kings finished on 151/10 in 20 overs.

    SRH Inning:

    Sunrisers again suffered from the lack of intent by Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma during the powerplay. Williamson scored 3 off 9, and Sharma contributed 31 off 25.

    Rahul Tripathi was fabulous with the bat and counterattacked the Kings’ bowlers to put SRH back in the hunt for the chase. Tripathi notched up 34 off 22, comprising 4 fours and a six.

    Markram and Pooran comfortably finished the job for SRH as both of them remained unbeaten in the chase. Markram scored 41* off 27 while Pooran gathered 35* off 30 to take Sunrisers home in the PBKS vs SRH contest.

  • IPL 2022, DC VS RCB: Karthik’s blizzard destroys Delhi Capitals

    DC vs RCB, the 27th match of Tata IPL 2022, was all about the continuance of Dinesh Karthik’s resurgence in the T20 format.

    Karthik pulled out RCB from a precarious situation of 92/5 to help them score 189 in 20 overs. Shahbaz Ahmed also impressed with his unbeaten knock of 32*.

    DC vs RCB Highlights:

    Rishabh Pant won the toss and decided to bowl first due to the dryness of the pitch.

    RCB Inning:

    RCB could not get a royal start because Faf du Plessis and Anuj Rawat were sent back to the pavilion before reaching the double figures.

    Glenn Maxwell came out with positive intent and formed a partnership with Virat Kolhi to counterattack Delhi’s bowling unit. The duo were doing an excellent job before Kohli was found short of his crease by Lalit Yadav due to a miscommunication between Maxwell and him.

    However, Maxwell continued his assault and reached his half-century only to get dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav at 55. Maxwell’s inning included 5 fours and 2 sixes. Suyash Prabhudessai also got dismissed while trying to reverse sweep Axar Patel.

    This led Karthik and Shahbaz to construct another partnership that saved Royal Challengers. It looked like Bangalore would get somewhere around 160 at the most, but Karthik had other plans.

    Dinesh Karthik smashed Mustafizur Rahman for 28 runs in the 18th over to sway the momentum on RCB’s side. He scored an unbeaten 66* off 34, including 5 fours and 5 sixes. Shahbaz also played a handy knock of 32* off 21. RCB posted 189/5 in the DC vs RCB clash.

    DC Inning:

    Delhi Capitals had a fine start, with Shaw and Warner decimating the RCB bowling line-up in the first 6 overs. However, following powerplay, RCB bowled in the right areas to restrict the scoring rate and pile pressure.

    Prithvi Shaw mistimed a pull of Mohammed Siraj’s bowling to hand RCB their first breakthrough. Mitchell Marsh had a horrible first game in IPL 2022, and his inning was probably the reason behind DC’s loss.

    Warner, who was playing freely before Shaw’s wicket, had pressure piled upon him due to Marsh’s slow inning. He tried to reverse sweeping Hasaranga only to get dismissed in the process. David Warner scored 66 off 38, comprising of 4 fours and 5 sixes.

    Rishabh Pant showed a glimmer of an extravagant knock but could not fulfil his potential as he was dismissed on 34 off 17 by Mohammed Siraj. Ultimately Delhi fell short by 16 runs in the DC vs RCB contest.

  • IPL 2022, LSG VS MI: KL Rahul blasts 100 to hand MI 6th Loss

    LSG vs MI, the 26th match of the tournament, was all about KL Rahul‘s unbeaten 103* that helped Super Giants defeat Mumbai Indians by 18 runs.

    LSG vs MI Highlights:

    Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl first, only to end up conceding 199 runs in the 20 overs.

    LSG Inning:

    KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock provided Lucknow with a blazing start. De Kock played a shot but important inning of 24 off 13 to set the tone for Super Giants batters.

    Rahul combined with Manish Pandey to construct a destructive 72 run stand for the 2nd wicket. Pandey and Rahul had Lucknow on course for scoring more than 200 runs. However, Murugun Ashwin dismissed Pandey on 38 to put some brakes on the Super Giants’ inning.

    KL Rahul took it upon himself after Pandey’s departure to get his team closer to 200. Rahul took apart Tymal Mills and Fabian Allen to help Lucknow post 199/4 in 20 overs. Rahul scored 103* off 60, including 5 sixes and 9 fours in the LSG vs MI clash.

    Marcus Stoinis and Deepak Hooda also had their turns to bat but the former added only 10 runs to the total while the latter contributed 15 runs. Krunal also played 1 ball to score 1 run.

    MI Inning:

    Mumbai needed a big start from their openers, but Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan again disappointed their fans. Rohit scored only 6 off 7 while Ishan managed 13 off 17 in the LSG vs MI clash.

    Dewald Brevis again impressed with his short but fascinating burst in the middle. He put MI back in the hunt by scoring a quickfire 31 off 13 that included 6 fours and a six.

    Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma built a partnership for the 4th wicket to keep MI on track, but Tilak’s wicket once again opened up the doors for Lucknow Super Giants. Tilak scored run a ball 23.

    Suryakumar Yadav was livid with himself when he mistimed one of Ravi Bishnoi’s bowling to get dismissed. He was looking threatening with Keiron Pollard, but his dismissal was the final nail in the coffin for Mumbai Indians.

    Yadav scored 37 while Pollard scored 25 off 14 but could not pull their team out of troubled waters. MI ended its inning on 181/9 in 20 overs to concede the 6th consecutive loss in the tournament.

    MI vs PBKS Highlights:

    Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl first. Both teams remained unchanged from the previous game.

    PBKS Inning:

    Punjab had a great start with both openers, Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal, going on to score half-centuries.

    Mayank Agarwal played the aggressor and scored 52 off 32, while Shikhar Dhawan anchored the dining and made 70 off 50 in the MI vs PBKS clash.

    Johnny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone had ordinary outings with the bat, but Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan propelled the Kings’ score.

    Jitesh Sharma played an enterprising knock off 30* off 15, while Shahrukh played a quick inning of 15 off 6. Punjab finished on 198/5 in 20 overs.

    Jasprit Bumrah was the star bowler for Mumbai Indians as he dismissed a dangerous Liam Livingstone and kept the scoring rate under a lid on his own bowling.

    MI Inning:

    Mumbai Indians did not have a great start, with Ishan Kishan getting out after scoring only 3 runs. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, too, got dismissed after a quickfire 28 off 17.

    Dewald Brevis and Tilak Varma took the game by the head and turned around the situation in Mumbai’s favour. However, Brevis was dismissed on 49 off 2f by Odean Smith to register a comeback for Punjab Kings.

    Tilak Varma and Keiron Pollard were unlucky and found themselves short of the crease on different occasions. 

    Suryakumar Yadav did give MI hope in the final overs, but his dismissal was the nail in the coffin for Mumbai Indians. Yadav scored 43 off 30.

    Odean Smith was the star bowler for Punjab Kings as he picked up 4 wickets in the MI vs PBKS clash.

  • IPL 2022, CSK VS RCB: Super Kings makes a comeback in style

    CSK vs RCB, the 22nd match of the tournament, saw CSK registering their first win of the tournament after four consecutive losses. CSK completely dominated Royal Challengers Bangalore in all three aspects of the game to register a thumping victory by 23 runs.

    Robin Uthappa and Shivam Dube were the stars for Super Kings with the bat. They helped Chennai reach a massive total of 216/4 in the 20 overs. In reply, Bangalore could only muster 193/9 in their 20 overs.

    CSK vs RCB Highlights:

    Royal Challengers won the toss and opted to ball first owing to the due factor in 2nd inning of the match. Harshal Patel was unavailable for the game due to a family mishap.

    CSK Inning:

    CSK had a slow start with just about 6 runs per over in the powerplay. Ruturaj Gaikwad again failed to play a knock of substance and only scored 17 before departing to the dressing room. Moeen Ali’s inning was cut short by an absolute classic display of fielding by Suyah Prabudessai at the point who threw an exceptional throw to get rid of the left-hander.

    CSK were 36-2 in 6.4 overs, but Robin Uthappa and Shivam Dube had some gigantic play in their minds to propel their team’s score. The duo counterattacked the RCB bowling unit and smashed almost every bowler of the opposition. They formed an epic 175 run stand for the 3rd wicket. Uthappa played a brilliant knock of 88 off 50, including 9 sixes and 4 fours.

    On the other hand, Shivam Dube continued the fireworks until the end for CSK and got dismissed on the last ball of the inning but only after playing a handsome knock of 95 off 46, consisting of 8 sixes and 5 fours. Super Kings posted a massive score of 216 on the board in the CSK vs RCB clash.

    RCB Inning:

    RCB needed an opening partnership that could set the stage for one of the biggest run chases in history. However, Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Anuj Rawat were dismissed quickly by the Super Kings to put RCB on the backfoot. Faf scored 8, Virat made 1, while Rawat scored 12.

    RCB had fighting knocks from the middle-over, who almost threatened to take the game away from CSK. Glenn Maxwell started the tempo with a quickfire 26 off 11, followed by Shahbaz Ahmed’s 41 off 27, Suyash Prabhudessai’s 34 off 18 and Dinesh Karthik’s 34 off 14. Nevertheless, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals that denied them to produce a winning chance in the CSK vs RCB battle.

    RCB could only manage 193/9, and Maheesh Theekshana scaled four of their wickets while Jadeja accounted for three batters.

    SRH vs GT, the match 21st of Tata IPL, saw Sunrisers Hyderabad registering their second consecutive win of the tournament.

    Hyderabad defeated Gujarat Titans by chasing down 162 with 11 balls to spare. SRH was clinical in their approach and cruised towards the victory without much problems in the SRH vs GT clash.

    SRH vs GT Highlights:

    Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to ball first at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.

    GT Inning:

    Gujarat Titans had a miserable start with their superstar Shubman Gill departing early in the innings with only 7 runs to his name.

    Mathew Wade continued his dismal run with the bat in Tata IPL 2022 and could only manage 19 off 19 before Umran Malik trapped his leg before.

    Sai Sudarshan did not have great luck and went back into the dressing room on just 11 runs.

    Gujarat Titans were stuttering at 64/3 in 8 overs and required a partnership to pull them through the middle overs.

    Hardik Pandya and David Miller did try to forget a stand but could only gather 40 runs collectively before Miller was dismissed by his international teammate Marco Jansen.

    The uncapped Abhinav Manohar had an exciting 50 run stand with Hardik Pandya for the 5th wicket. He scored 35 off 21 to give a boost to the Titans’ inning in SRH vs GT clash.

    Hardik Pandya got to his fifty in the last over, but the team failed to accelerate in the last 2 overs, and Gujarat finished at 162/7 in 20 overs.

    SRH Inning:

    Sunrisers Hyderabad had a slow start with Kane Williamson finding it hard to time the ball. However, Abhishek Sharma kept the run rate under control from the other end.

    Abhishek scored 42 off 32 before Rashid Khan dismissed him. Williamson then combined with Tripathi, and the duo upped the ante of their inning.

    Rahul Tripathi suffered a hamstring injury and was pulled out of the game to be replaced by Nicholas Pooran. Kane Willamson almost did the job for SRH with his 57 off 46. 

    Hardik Pandya dismissed Willimason, but Pooran carried on the fireworks and scored an unbeaten 34* off 18 to make his team cross the finish line in SRH vs GT clash.

  • IPL 2022, RR VS LSG: Royal nerves make Rajasthan triumph

    RR vs LSG, the 20th match of Tata IPL 2022, was a thriller that went to the last over. Debutant uncapped Kuldeep Sen kept his nerves to successfully defend 15 runs in the last over against Marcus Stoinis to help his team register the fourth victory in the tournament and rise to the top of the rankings.

    RR vs LSG Highlights:

    RR Innings:

    Rajasthan Royals batted first, and Devdutt Padikkal and Jos Buttler came to open for the Royals. RR had a decent start with Buttler and Padikkal forming a 42 run stand for the first wicket in 5 overs.

    Avesh Khan removed the in-form Buttler to provide a breakthrough for Lucknow Super Giants. Padikkal, Samson and Van der Dussen could not maintain the tempo of the inning and Rajasthan got stuck in the middle overs.

    At 67-4 in 10 overs Royals needed an impactful partnership to power them to a competitive total. Shimron Hetmyer and Ravi Ashwin did precisely what was required. They put up a 68 run stand for the 5th wicket to put the Royals back into the driving seat.

    Ravi Ashwin retired and registered the first instance of this in IPL history. He scored a brilliant 28 off 23. Meanwhile, Shimron Hetmyer was playing an absolute blinder. Hetmyer made unbeaten 59* off 36, including 6 massive sixes to help Rajasthan finish on a high.

    Royals put up a decent total of 165/6 in 20 overs.

    LSG Innings:

    RR had a dream start with the ball as Trent Boult dismissed KL Rahul on the first delivery and sent Krishnappa Gowtham back to the pavilion in the first over itself. Super Giants were put on the back foot and had an uphill task ahead themselves to win the game.

    Jason Holder, promoted at four, could not make use of the opportunity and scored only 8 runs in his troubled stay at the crease. Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda gave some hope to LSG fans as the duo formed a 38 run stand for the 4th wicket.

    However, Hooda and young sensation Ayush Badoni departed in quick intervals and pressure mounted on the LSG batting unit. LSG was reduced to 74/5 in 12 overs. Krunal Pandya and de Kock shouldered the responsibility of bringing their team closer, but they too departed quickly, and LSG struggled again.

    LSG was 102/7 in 16 overs and needed 64 runs in 4 overs to win the game. Marcus Stoiniws played some fine shots, and the equation reduced to 34 in the last 2 overs. Stoinis took apart Prasidh Krishna in the 19th over and further reduced the equation to 15 of the last over.

    There was unimaginable pressure on the young debutant Kuldeep Sen in the final over to defend 15 runs against the hulk of cricket. However, Senn kept his nerves and bowled to his field to help the Royals ultimately triumph by 3 runs.

  • IPL 2022, DC VS KKR: Delhi triumphs by 44 runs

    DC vs KKR, the 19th match of Tata IPL 2022, was a high scoring affair in which Delhi Capitals posted a huge score of 215 runs on the board.

    Prithvi Shaw and David Warner scored half-centuries while Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur played handy knocks in the death overs.

    Kolkata Knight Riders lost quick wickets in the middle that derailed their chase, and they ultimately fell short by 44 runs.

    DC vs KKR Highlights:

    DC Innings:

    Delhi Capitals had a blazing start, with Shaw and Warner going bonkers during the powerplay. The duo formed a stand of 93 runs in just 8.4 overs before Shaw was bowled through the gate by mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy.

    Prithvi Shaw notched up 51 off 29 to set the stage for the middle-order batsman. Rishabh Pant walked in to bat at three and maintain the tempo of the inning. Pant and Warner carried on the fireworks and formed a 57 run stand for the 2nd wicket.

    Pant played a cameo of 27 off 14. After Pant’s dismissal, Capitals had a flurry of wickets, with Lalit Yadav and Rovman Powell not being able to reach the double figures while Warner departed for a well-made 61 off 45.

    Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel were brilliant in the death overs and played enterprising knocks of 29* and 21* respectively, to propel Delhi to 215/5 in 20 overs.

    KKR Inning:

    Chasing a huge total, KKR needed partnership at the front to put them on the map. However, Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer did not last for long, and KKR found themselves at 38-2 in about 5 overs.

    Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Rana built a partnership in the middle and counterattacked the Capitals’ bowling. Nitish Rana scored 30 before Lalit Yadav sent him back into the dressing room.

    Iyer soon followed Rana in the dressing room after scoring 54 off 33. Kuldeep Yadav sent him back to tighten the grasp of Delhi on the match. After Iyer’s departure, KKR had no significant partnership to take them to the finish line.

    Kuldeep picked four wickets, including the dangerous Pat Cummins and Sunil Narine, to win the match for Delhi Capitals.

     

  • IPL 2022, RCB VS MI: Bangalore registers a Royal victory

    RCB vs MI, the 20th match of the tournament, saw Royal Challengers trouncing the five time champions by 7 wickets and 10 balls to spare.

    Young uncapped Indian Anuj Rawat and Virat Kohli starred with the bat, while Harshal Patel, Akashdeep Singh and Wanindu Hasaranga registered good performances with the ball.

    Mumbai Indians lost the toss and batted first to post 151/6 on the back of an unbeaten stellar knock of 68* from Suryakumar Yadav.

    Royal Challengers Bangalore comfortably chased down the target, with Anuj Rawat taking the initiative against MI bowlers.

    RCB vs MI Highlights:

    MI Innings:

    Mumbai Indians had a blazing start, with both Rohit Sharma and Ishan Khan getting a few quick boundaries during the powerplay. However, the end of field restrictions completely changed the fortunes of both teams involved.

    Harshal Patel removed Rohit on the 2nd ball after the powerplay to provide a breakthrough for Royal Challengers. MI captain’s fall brought a horrible collapse with it.

    Dewald Brevis, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Keiron Pollard and debutant Ramandeep Singh were dismissed under 19 runs, and Royal Challengers tightened their clasp in the RCB vs MI clash.

    Everything depended on Suryakumar Yadav to pull his team back into a fighting position from a dismal 79/6 in 13.2 overs.

    Yadav played an enterprising inning with counterattacking shots to propel his team to 151. He partnered with tailenders in perfect harmony to score an impressive 68* off 37, including 6 six massive sixes.

    RCB Innings:

    Royal Challengers struggled during the field restrictions in the RCB vs MI clash. Faf du Plessis found it hard to time the ball, and the run rate remained under 6 during the powerplay.

    Nevertheless, young Anuj Rawat displayed some beautiful and counterattacking strokeplay against the spinners to up the ante from the 7th over. Faf also tried to emulate his partner but found the fielder on long-on to get dismissed on 16 off 24.

    RCB needed 102 off 71 balls to win when the chase master, Virat Kohli, stepped foot ok the crease. Kohli looked positive from the get-go and formed a match-winning partnership with Anuj Rawat.

    Rawat scored a brilliant 66 off 47 before Ramandeep Singh found him short on the crease. However, Anuj and Kohli’s 80 run stand had ensured that Bangalore attained the victory in the RCB vs MI battle.

    Dewald Brevis removed Kohli on 48 on the first ball of his IPL career in the 19th over. The leg before decision was a controversial one as the ball had hit the bat and pad simultaneously. Nevertheless, Maxwell walked out and finished the match with two consecutive boundaries.
