Mandeep Singh on Thursday equalled the unwanted record of Rohit Sharma for most ducks in the Indian Premier League history. Mandeep equalled Mumbai Indians skipper for this unwanted record in match number 50 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 between Delhi Capitals and SunRisers Hyderabad at the Brabourne Stadium.
Sundar Raman, the all-powerful former COO of IPL, is understood to have acquired a 12.5 per cent stake in a company that will be helping Cricket South Africa re-launch its ambitious franchise-based T20 league. Raman, who was once the right-hand man of former IPL czar Lalit Modi and played a big role in conceptualising the cash-rich league back in 2008, was also N Srinivasan's (Modi's bete noire) trusted lieutenant later on as he was one of the most powerful persons among the paid employees of the BCCI.
After a defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday, Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming said that he is 'not concerned' about Ravindra Jadeja's poor batting form. In IPL 2022, Jadeja has scored just 116 runs in 10 games, while taking five wickets at an economy rate of 7.52. The all-rounder was relieved of his captaincy responsibilities with MS Dhoni taking over again, however, the decision hasn't worked out yet.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer Josh Hazlewood described the 13-run victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as the 'most important' win for the team so far in the IPL 2022 as it kept them in the quest for the play-offs. Superb bowling efforts from Harshal Patel (3/35) and Glenn Maxwell (2/22) guided Royal Challengers Bangalore to a win over Chennai Super Kings here at MCA stadium in Pune on Wednesday.
The Royals Challengers Bangalore (RCB) dressing room was a happy space on Wednesday after their 13-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The win catapulted the team to the top four in the points table. So far, the Faf du Plessis-led side has six wins and five losses in 11 games. However, the way Virat Kohli ad Co. are playing they can feel positive about their chances of pocketing more wins. After the match, middle-order batter Glenn Maxwell took a cheeky dig at teammate and former RCB captain Virat Kohli over a run out.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have almost been pushed to the brink of exit from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 play-off race after their recent loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday. They have now lost seven out of 10 matches to be placed ninth in the 10-team league. Their team combination has also not been settled. While Ravindra Jadeja was named the captain at the start of the season, after eight matches MS Dhoni was named the skipper with the former deciding to focus on his own game. There have been shortcomings in the other departments too.
Virat Kohli has not been able to score fluently in the IPL this season and it is a matter of concern that he is getting out to different types of bowlers, observed former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop. Kohli has managed just 175 runs with a top score of 58 at a strike rate of just 111.09, which is the third lowest among batters with at least 150 runs this season.
Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming is not too concerned about the form of Ravindra Jadeja but said going forward, the team will evaluate which position in the batting order best suits the star all-rounder. In the 10 matches this season, Jadeja has scored just 116 runs at an average of 19.33 in 10 games, while taking five wickets at an economy rate of 7.52. On Wednesday, Jadeja was dismissed for three as CSK went down by 13 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore, their seventh loss overall. "No, I am not concerned. The T20 game can be tough and when you are batting at No 5 or 6, you do not get a lot of time to get your rhythm or tempo," Fleming said during a virtual press conference. "We will look at it now and work out what the best order would be going forward. But, no I am not concerned about his form."
