MUMBAI : Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni expects Ravindra Jadeja, freed from the burden of the captaincy, to make a bigger contribution for them, especially by fixing their sloppy catching in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Washington Sundar has injured his bowling hand again, revealed Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) head coach Tom Moody, raising doubts over the all-rounder's availability for the next game against Delhi Capitals. Washington, who made a comeback in the game against the Gujarat Titans after missing three matches due to split webbing in his bowling hand, re-injured the same area while fielding against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday. Following that, the off-spinner was unable to bowl a single ball in Sunrisers' 13-run loss to CSK. While he did come down to bat, his stay in the middle lasted only two balls.
SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik has been in sensational form this season and has won over fans, experts with his performances. Despite not being at his best against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday, the bowler managed to bowl the fastest delivery of IPL 2022 -- not once but twice. During the first innings of Match 46, Umran clocked 154kmph in the 10th over. He sent a full delivery on the stumps to Ruturaj Gaikwad, but the CSK opener smacked it for a four. The 22-year-old once again clocked 154kmph in the 19th over this time unleashing a yorker to MS Dhoni, who played it for a single. Having received plenty of praise due to his recent maiden IPL five-wicket haul, he once again sent Twitter in a tizzy.
MS Dhoni downplayed his return as Chennai Super Kings captain and the team's comfortable Indian Premier League victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday as a mere "coincidence".
Chennai Super Kings leadership saw yet another change as MS Dhoni was reappointed the captain of the franchise on Saturday. His second captaincy stint got off to a good start as the side managed to defeat SunRisers Hyderabad by 13 runs on Sunday and they now have three wins from nine games. After the game, Dhoni gave clarity on how he planned on having a smooth transition phase and how Ravindra Jadeja "knew from the last season itself" that he would get an opportunity to lead this year.
Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad doesn't believe in anything like being in form, saying that one has to start every game from zero. Gaikwad, who struggled throughout CSK's first eight games of this Indian Premier League (IPL) season, was at his best on Sunday as he powered six sixes and as many fours before missing out on a well-deserved century against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Gaikwad scored 99 off 57 balls and stitched a 182-run partnership with Devon Conway (85 not out), which is now CSK's highest opening stand in IPL history.
Umran Malik has been in blistering form for SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season and is currently third in the Purple Cap race with 15 wickets. During SRH's previous outing against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Mumbai, the pacer picked his maiden five-wicket IPL haul but couldn't prevent a defeat for his side. Malik accounted for the dismissals of Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, David Miller and Abhinav Manohar. Ahead of SRH's fixture against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday, Sunil Gavaskar had some hilarious advice to batters on facing the bowler.
Chennai Super Kings as MS Dhoni led them to a 13- run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the return leg of their IPL match. CSK and Ruturaj Gaikwad felt quite at home at the MCA Stadium in Pune and the Pune lad’s blistering 99 (57b, 4x6, 6x6) on Sunday night provided the answers to many of Chennai struggles this season.
