MUMBAI (Reuters) - Dinesh Karthik will turn 37 in June but he still harbours hopes of fulfilling his "bigger goal" of playing for India again, the wicketkeeper said after setting up an Indian Premier League win for the Royal Challengers Bangalore with a blistering knock.
Gujarat Titans appear favourites against MS Dhoni's, oops Ravindra Jadeja's, Chennai Super Kings in their sixth game of the IPL at Gahunje stadium on Sunday night. But CSK can never be counted out. With Dhoni's overshadowing presence as a thinker and 'keeper, it's safe to assume that Jadeja hasn't come into his own as CSK skipper. On the other hand, the responsibility of captaincy seems to have motivated Hardik Pandya to be more consistent (228 runs at an average of 76). The positions of their teams couldn't have been more contrasting either. With four wins and one defeat, Gujarat can afford to experiment keeping in mind the latter half of the tournament.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Saturday beat Delhi Capitals by 16 runs despite getting off to a rocky start with the bat in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 encounter.

Maxwell scored 55 off 34, while Karthik finished unbeaten on 66 off as 34. Warner hit a brilliant 38-ball 66 in Delhi's chase, but the team crumbled after his wicket, despite a fighting effort from captain Pant (34 off 17).
IPL 2022, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Score Updates: Delhi Capitals (DC) face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 27 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

DC have been pretty good with the ball, but will seek more consistency in the batting department. RCB, on the other hand, have leaked runs with the ball, and will look to work in that area. Mitchell Marsh has been training in the nets but it's not clear whether he'll play or not. RCB could also make a tweak or two as they look to improve on their death bowling. Harshal Patel could also make his comeback after missing the last game. (LIVE SCORECARD)
