The five-time champions Mumbai Indians became the third team to lose the first six games consecutively in an IPL season on Saturday. KL Rahul's unbeaten knock of 103 guided Lucknow Super Giants to a comfortable 18-run win over Mumbai Indians at Brabourne Stadium. With the defeat, the Rohit Sharma-led side is the only team yet to win a game this season and stand at the bottom of the table.
Royal Challengers Bangalore continued their excellent form in IPL 2022 by defeating Delhi Capitals by 16 runs on Saturday.
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.
Royal Challengers Bangalore batter Virat Kohli has scored two 40-plus scores in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season but the maverick player has not been at his fluent self. In the last game against Delhi Capitals, Kohli scored 12 but he was run out in trying to go for a quick run. Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar feels that Kohli can be dropped if he is not able to perform consistently and hence Akhtar has given advice to Kohli, saying he needs to just focus and consider himself as an "ordinary player".
Delhi Capitals' (DC) head coach Ricky Ponting feels his team needs to improve in all aspects of the game after its third defeat in five games in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). DC lost by 16 runs to Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday night to lie at the bottom half of the IPL table with just four points. And Ponting said it's time DC start clicking as a unit in all aspects of the game. "We haven't had our full strength batting. Mitchell Marsh played his first game and probably didn't quite fit the tempo of the game that we needed. Rovman Powell hasn't fired so far in middle order. So we need to fix some things and what we intended to do throughout the tournament," Ponting said at the post-match press conference.
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.
Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting feels his team needs to improve in all aspects of the game after its third defeat in five games in the ongoing Indian Premier League. DC lost by 16 runs to Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium Saturday night to lie at the bottom half of the IPL table with just four points.
Aiming for a comeback into the Indian cricket team, Dinesh Karthik has been in blistering form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. The veteran was released by KKR after last season and was roped in by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for Rs 5.50 crore during the mega auction this year. Since then, he has gone on to become a pivotal figure for the franchise and has remained unbeaten on five out of six occasions, also smacking match-winning knocks. In his side's latest outing against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Saturday, Karthik slammed an unbeaten knock of 66 runs off 34 balls to help RCB win the game by 16 runs. During his innings, he also clattered five fours and five sixes. He received plenty of praise from fans and experts after the game and was on the receiving end of some special words from former India head coach Ravi Shastri.
