IPL 2022: Made a little switch in my batting technique, says Rajasthan Royals' Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin says the work done on his batting technique before the start of the season has yielded results in the Indian Premier League (IPL) where Rajasthan Royals (RR) have given him the opportunity to bat higher up the order. Batting at No. 3, Ashwin smashed a 38-ball 50 against Delhi Capitals (DC) here on Wednesday night, albeit in a losing cause. "No license has been given. From the starting of the season it was communicated to me properly that I will be used as a batter up the order. We had a few practice games where I opened also. "Have worked a lot on my batting, so it's nice to see whatever has been worked on translates into the field," the veteran off-spinner said during the post-match press conference.

IPL 2022: Not my fault I went for big money, says Ishan Kishan

Shane Watson had said a few days ago that Mumbai Indians had a shocking auction and paying Rs 15.25 crores for Ishan Kishan was a big mistake. "So much money on Ishan Kishan… He is a brilliant and skilled player, but he's not worth spending your whole contract on," Watson, a former IPL superstar and an assistant coach of Delhi Capitals, had said. Kishan has had an up-and-down season, scoring 321 runs at a strike-rate of 117 as Mumbai languish at the bottom of the table. The Jharkhand keeper-batsman did agree that price tag is a pressure, albeit for the first few days. "Yes, it's there initially but they you realize that you are not responsible for your price tag. If someone has thought you are good enough, they have paid that amount of money," Kishan said ahead of Mumbai's match against CSK on Thursday.

IPL 2022, CSK Predicted XI vs MI: How Will Chennai Replace Ravindra Jadeja?

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 59 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on Wednesday. Chennai are currently ninth in the IPL 2022 Points Table with eight points from 11 games, including four wins and seven defeats.

What will be key for Chennai is how they replace Ravindra Jadeja, who has been ruled out of the tournament due to an injury.

IPL 2022: DC skipper Pant happy with close to perfect game, RR's Samson rues lack of runs and wickets

Delhi Capitals' skipper Rishabh Pant reckoned at the toss that anything in the range of 140-160 would be a good target for them to chase down against Rajasthan Royals at the DY Patil Stadium on Wednesday. His words turned out to be true, as the pace trio of Mitchell Marsh, Chetan Sakariya and Anrich Nortje took two wickets each to restric Rajasthan to 160/6 and then DC chased the total down with ease to win by eight wickets. All-rounder Marsh came out to lead the run-chase with a 62-ball 89 while David Warner hanged around to play the anchor role, remaining unbeaten on 52 off 41 balls as Delhi earned a crucial win with 11 balls to spare, which has kept them alive in the race to playoffs. "It was close to a perfect game as, I believe, there is always space for improvement. On these kind of wickets where there is little turn, you can go either way. I am happy we bowled first. I thought 140-160 was a good score and said so at the toss, and we got there," said Pant after the match.

IPL 2022, DC vs RR: Mitchell Marsh takes Delhi Capitals to crucial win over Rajasthan Royals

Delhi Capitals remained stubborn in their pursuit of victory. Mitchell Marsh and David Warner made it a one-sided contest as Capitals easily chased down 161, registering an eight-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday. In full bloom, it was an all-round show by Marsh who first returned figures of 3-0-25-2 before excelling with the bat to bring his first half-century of the IPL. En route his 89 off 62 balls, Marsh was accompanied by Warner (52 not out off 41 balls), who, for a change, played second fiddle. The Aussie duo stitched a 144-run partnership. AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD | POINTS TABLEThe win takes Capitals to 12 points, giving a big boost to their playoff chances. Royals, despite appearing to be a strong contender, now find themselves dependent on the result of their remaining two matches. From missed opportunities to dropped catches and luck evading Royals, nothing went in their favour. It is at this stage of the tournament that Royals need their skipper Sanju Samson to lead from the front. But the wait is only getting longer. Earlier, in the face of quality bowling by Capitals seamers - Chetan Sakariya, Anrich Nortje, Mitchell Marsh and Shardul Thakur - Ravichandran Ashwin did not muck up and instead responded with clarity of mind. Not a recognised batter in the T20s, Ashwin's 50 off 38 balls while batting at one down is proof enough of his versatility. At 35, the off-spinner continues to experiment, innovate and upgrade himself to add value to the team.

Watch: Lucky David Warner Is Not Out Despite Getting Bowled By Rajasthan Royals' Yuzvendra Chahal

David Warner and Mitchell Marsh were in great form during Delhi Capitals' eight-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match on Wednesday. However, Warner rode his luck to stay unbeaten on 52 off 41 deliveries. Out of the few lucky escapes that he got, one was particularly bizarre. In the ninth over of DC's chase of 161, Warner was bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal. However, the bails did not fall off and Warner was declared not out.
