Chennai Super Kings batsman Devon Conway said skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's advice on handling spinners helped him score his third straight half-century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they thumped Delhi Capitals by 91 runs on Sunday.
Even as Royal Challengers Bangalore recorded a crucial victory against SunRisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022, Virat Kohli's struggles with the bat continued. Kohli fell for his third golden duck of the season, taking his career tally in the IPL to six. RCB, however, did well to recover from the early blow and went on to score 192 for three, with captain Faf du Plessis hitting an unbeaten half-century. He was aided well by knocks from Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik.
Royal Challengers Bangalore recovered from an ordinary start. Sunrisers Hyderabad didn't and suffered their fourth successive defeat. Like in the match at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday afternoon, the tendency to leave it late - they needed 124 from the last 10 overs and 82 from last five - will impact the playoff chances of Sunrisers Hyderabad, who faltered once again in the chase and lost by 67 runs after succumbing to the wiles of Wanindu Hasaranga (5/18). AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD | POINTS TABLETwo wickets in the first over meant SRH had their task cut out in overhauling RCB's 192 for three, which was built on the second wicket partnership of 105 (73b) between skipper Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar (48; 38b, 4x4, 6x2), and Dinesh Karthik's blitzkrieg. Karthik's unbeaten 30 (8b, 4x1, 6x4) included 25 in the final over by Fazalhaq Farooqi as the SRH pace attack felt the brunt of the RCB batters smarting from their nine-wicket defeat in the first leg. On a wicket where taking pace off the ball yielded dividends, the SRH attack floundered with the trio of Umran Malik, Kartik Tyagi and Farooqi conceding 114 runs in their 10 overs.
Umran Malik lit the IPL 2022 season up with his raw pace, but his form has dipped and he has been hit for plenty as SunRisers Hyderabad have found themselves on a four-match losing streak. Before their defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday, Malik had conceded 100 runs for no wickets in his last two outings. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri issued a stern warning for the young pacer and said that his pace would be of little help in the shortest format if he does not use it well.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 91 runs in Match 55 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Chasing a target of 209 runs, DC were bowled out for 117 in 17.4 overs with Moeen Ali taking three wickets in his four overs. Meanwhile, Mukesh Choudhary and Dwayne Bravo bagged two wickets each. Initially, Chennai posted 208 for six in 20 overs with Devon Conway hammering 87 runs off 49 balls.
Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Tom Moody is not worried about pace sensation Umran Malik's sudden lean patch and said his side were doing their best to ensure the youngster learn from experience. Though he has grabbed 15 wickets from eight matches, Malik has returned wicketless in the last three matches with the batters opting for a counter-attacking approach against him. In the match against RCB here on Sunday, Malik leaked 20 runs in his first over as Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar went into attacking mode against him.

Wanindu Hasaranga on Sunday said the clarity of his role as a wicket-taking bowler in the Royal Challengers Bangalore side was helping him in the ongoing Indian Premier League. The spin-bowling all-rounder, who became the most expensive Sri Lankan player in IPL history when RCB bought him for a whopping Rs 10.75 crore at this year's auction, returned with figures of 5/18 to inflict a fourth straight loss on Sunrisers Hyderabad.
