Pat Cummins's whirlwind knock against Mumbai Indians that kicked up a storm at the MCA Stadium in Pune yet, please go and watch every second of it. It won't take you too long - after all it was just 15 balls. And yet the impact that it made is something that will not be forgotten in a hurry.
Mumbai Indians have endured a torrid start to the season, losing three games in a row and the team's head coach Mahela Jayawardene feels the five-time IPL champions need to adopt a ruthless attitude to finish off games. A lacklustre MI lost by five wickets to Kolkata Knight Riders here on Wednesday night to slump to their third consecutive defeat of the season. The Rohit Sharma-led side had lost to Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals in its opening two games.
It is a perfect homecoming for Australian opener David Warner as he returns to the franchise with whom he started his IPL career -- Delhi Capitals. The opening batter is expected to play his first match of IPL 2022 against the Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday. The T20 World Cup-winning player will hope for a good showing with the bat for the Delhi Capitals and he would look to give the Rishabh Pant-led side their second win of the ongoing season. Ahead of the game against LSG, Warner said that he is excited to join the Delhi camp once again.
Pant and KL Rahul are young leaders. They still have a lot of catching up to do. While Rahul’s captaincy acumen has come under a lot of scrutiny – especially when he was captaining Punjab Kings, and also during India’s recent tour to South Africa – Pant led Delhi Capitals to third place in the 2021 IPL.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Mumbai Indians (MI) by five wickets in Match 14 of the ongoing IPL 2022 season at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. An unbeaten knock of 56 runs off 15 balls from Pat Cummins helped KKR chase a target of 162 runs in just 16 overs. Cummins also registered the joint-fastest fifty in IPL history, reaching his half-century in 14 balls. Initially, KKR bowled out MI for 161 for four in 20 overs with Cummins taking two wickets in four overs.
Pat Cummins stole Suryakumar Yadav’s thunder to give Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) a five-wicket win against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. MI skipper Rohit Sharma must be wondering what went wrong after staying on course for their first victory in this IPL till a better part of the match. The skipper had his plan ready to stop KKR dangerman Andre Russell and MI managed to get the West Indian out cheaply too. But very few had thought of Cummins to come out in flying colours with the bat in his first match in this IPL season. The Australian Test skipper displayed amazing power-hitting to bring up the joint-quickest 50 of the IPL, off just 14 balls. He hit four sixes, two fours and a two to collect 35 runs off the 16th over bowled by Daniel Sams to take the side home with 24 balls remaining. Lokesh Rahul had also taken 14 balls for his fifty for Punjab against Delhi in Mohali on April 8, 2018.
Kripal Singh Batth broke the 22-year-old men's discuss throw meet record with an effort of 61.83m at the 25th AFI National Federation Cup Senior Athletics Championships on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Batth, whose previous best of 59.74m was recorded nearly six years ago, produced a good string of throws at the C H Muhammed Koya Stadium. Four of his attempts saw the discus soar past the 60m mark, two of them breaching 61m as well. His first and last throws were over 59m, giving him a series to remember.
Pat Cummins was at his scintillating best for Kolkata Knight Riders in the match against Mumbai Indians as he played an unbeaten knock of 56 runs off just 15 balls. Cummins brought up his half-century off just 14 deliveries and as a result, he registered the joint-fastest half-century in the history of the IPL. This is also the fastest fifty of the ongoing season. Earlier, the fastest fifty in IPL belonged to KL Rahul as he scored a half-century off 14 balls against the Delhi Capitals in 2018. Cummins hit 6 towering sixes and four boundaries during his whirlwind knock. This was his first match of the season as he had missed KKR's first three matches as he was part of Australia's Test tour of Pakistan. Cummins' knock helped KKR register their third win of the season and also meant Mumbai Indians lost their third straight match of IPL 2022.
