England star Moeen Ali is set to miss the first game of the new Indian Premier League season due to visa issues.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) have failed to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) since their triumph in the inaugural edition of the tournament. Last season, the Sanju Samson-led side ended up 7th in the points table, having finished the campaign with 10 points. RR will play their first game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 29 at the MCA Stadium in Pune. Having retained the likes of Samson and wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler, the franchise roped in the likes of Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Devdutt Padikkal, among others during the auction last month.
The wait is finally over as the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to commence in few days' time. Apart from the already existing eight franchises, two new teams have been added to the tournament this season. Lucknow Super Giants, led by India batter KL Rahul, will play their first match against fellow newcomers Gujarat Titans. Apart from Rahul, the franchise has also signed some other big names, including Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, who was released by the Delhi Capitals ahead of the mega auction.
Lucknow Super Giants have signed Andrew Tye as a replacement for the injured England pacer Mark Wood for the upcoming Indian Premier League, it was announced on Wednesday. The announcement was made via an IPL media advisory. Wood suffered an elbow injury during England's first Test against West Indies earlier this month.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) are one of the three already existing franchises which is yet to win an Indian Premier League (IPL) title so far. However, the team will be under new leadership this season following the departure of KL Rahul, who will lead the newcomers Lucknow Super Giants. Mayank Agarwal, who was one of the two players retained by the franchise, was named as captain for this season, and PBKS will hope that the player can contribute in both batting and leadership front.
The fans have been eagerly waiting to see Virat Kohli and his team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) win the Indian Premier League (IPL) title. Having stepped down as the captain, Kohli would hope to have a renewed energy with the bat to take his side all the way this season. IPL 2022 will begin on March 26 and RCB, under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, will kickstart their campaign on March 27 against Punjab Kings.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 edition will get underway on March 26 and fans would be expecting the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians to go all the way this season, after a disappointing outing last year. The franchise has some new names in their ranks so it would be interesting to see how the management gets the best of some young names such as Dewald Brevis. Mumbai Indians will begin their campaign on March 27 against Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals.
The likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel are expected to hog the spotlight as bowlers in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. The new IPL season is scheduled to begin from March 26, with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Last season, bowlers made a big difference for their teams with some stunning match-winning spells. This year too, bowlers are expected to shine and fans will be eagerly waiting for some entertainment from pacers and spinners alike.
