IPL 2022, Rajasthan Royals Predicted XI vs Delhi Capitals: Yashasvi Jaiswal To Remain In Sanju Samson's Playing XI?

Rajasthan Royals (RR) face Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 58 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday. RR are currently third in the IPL 2022 Points Table with 14 points from 11 games, including seven wins and four defeats. The Sanju Samson-led side won their previous outing against Punjab Kings (PBKS), winning by six wickets. All eyes will be on Jos Buttler, who currently leads the Orange Cap Race with 618 runs in 11 games, including three tons and three half-centuries. Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal leads the Purple Cap Race with 22 wickets in 11 fixtures (with a four-wicket and five-wicket haul). The RR spinner will be key to Samson's plans against Delhi.

IPL 2022, DC vs RR: Delhi Capitals face Buttler test as they take on Rajasthan Royals

Jos Buttler is in possession of the Orange Cap and no one is in close range to pose a threat to his 'highest run-scorer' crown. It was towards the later half of the IPL 2018 that the England batter was given the opener's role, and today he stands tall in the coveted spot. Be it for his national team or Rajasthan Royals, the 31-year-old has delivered the goods to become one of the most complete white-ball cricketers in the last few years. Having piled up 618 runs from 11 games so far, Buttler has now scored the most runs in a single season for the Royals, leaving behind Ajinkya Rahane's 560 in 2012. The kind of form the opener is in, he is a threat to Virat Kohli's record of most centuries and runs in a single season - in 2016 - when he slammed four tons and accumulated massive 973 from 16 games. It would not be surprising if Buttler gets to his fourth century in this edition of IPL.

"In The Russell Mould...": Ravi Shastri Has This Advice For Rishabh Pant To Revive Delhi Capitals' Fortune

Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Rishabh Pant has not been able to capitalise on the good starts that he has got in the IPL 2022. The left-handed batter has scored 281 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 152.71. Though he is DC's second highest run-getter, he has not been able to score a half-century.

AIFF spends more than Rs 3 crore every year in fighting legal case: Football Delhi president Prabhakaran

Football Delhi president Shaji Prabhakaran has claimed that All India Football Federation (AIFF) spends more than Rs 3 crore annually in fighting legal cases and that such a big expenditure is not "justified". In a letter shot off to AIFF president Praful Patel, urging him to hold elections of the national body without delay, Prabhakaran said the current legal team has not brought any progress to the election-related case pending before the Supreme Court since 2017.

IPL 2022: Rishabh Pant should bat in the 'Russell' mode; just smack, no matter who the bowlers is, says Ravi Shastri

Ravi Shastri says Rishabh Pant must bat in the "Andre Russell mode" in T20 format and not change the tempo once he gets going so that he can win more matches for his side, Delhi Capitals. The Southpaw has collected 281 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 152.71 but has struggled to convert his starts into meaningful contributions. The 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is having an underwhelming IPL season. He has shown glimpses of his destructive power but could not take the team over the line like he has done umpteen times in the past. "I feel once he gets the tempo going he shouldn't change, he should be in the Russell mould in this format of the game," Shastri said on ESPNcricinfo's 'T20 Time Out'.

IPL 2022: Did too many decision makers contribute to Kolkata Knight Riders' downfall?

This age old adage fits aptly on Kolkata Knight Riders, who are staring at early elimination from the 2022 season, after competing in title-clash last year. While they are still afloat after beating wooden-spooners Mumbai Indians by 52 runs, the post-match comments from captain Shreyas Iyer have certainly opened the pandora's box, raising questions if there is too much of interference from the management, especially long-standing CEO Venky Mysore. A testimony to KKR's problems has been the fact that 20 players have played in 12 games.

IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals Aim To Bounce Back Against Rajasthan Royals
