Rajasthan Royals had a fantastic Indian Premier League 2022 auction where they managed to close some excellent purchases. Now a very strong team on paper, led by Sanju Samson, Royals will be itching to take the field when the 15th edition of the cricketing carnival begins on March 26.
With SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) set to open their IPL 2022 campaign against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Tuesday, many fans and experts will be expecting Bhuvneshwar Kumar to put in a talismanic showing. In a recent video posted by the franchise on Twitter, the players were seen gearing up for Match 5 and the Indian pacer in particular looked to be in fine form as he smashed the stump with pinpoint accuracy during training.
With Rajasthan Royals (RR) set to begin their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign on Tuesday, Jos Buttler will be aiming to play a talismanic role against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. The wicketkeeper-batter has always found it hard to perform against SRH but managed to break the jinx in IPL 2021. Last season, his knock of 124 runs against SRH was his first score of 30+ in nine innings against the franchise. In his previous eight innings against the team, the Englishman aggregated 73 runs at a strike rate of 94.81. The primary reason for the 31-year-old's failure against SRH was the presence of Rashid Khan, who has taken his wicket thrice which is the most by a bowler in IPL. In general, he has also found it difficult to play against leg spinners.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have been in the Indian Premier League - since they joined late in 2013 - they have lost six of their opening fixtures. But that fact is likely to weigh less heavily on them as against the fact that they were way below par last season, when they finished last with just three wins and 11 losses. Kane Williamson's elbow injury and his non-availability, David Warner's poor form and their formidable bowling attack blunted by the form issues of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan's surgery may all have contributed to a wretched 2021 season. But like all teams, they too have refurbished their squad with some new personnel, some old and retained most of the young turks from the previous season.
SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) will begin their IPL 2022 campaign against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 5, at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Tuesday. Both sides will be aiming for a win and try out their new permutations and combinations. SRH will be without the likes of David Warner and Rashid Khan, who were released after IPL 2021. Meanwhile, RR will have plenty of new faces with the likes of Devdutt Padikkal and Ravichandran Ashwin joining during the mega auction this year.
Mumbai Indians were stunned by Delhi Capitals in their first match of the 2022 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to keep up a rather unwanted record. It has now been 10 consecutive seasons that they have lost their opening match in the IPL. They last won the first match of the season in 2012, and have since never started their campaign with a win. DC on Saturday beat MI by four wickets, courtesy a 75-run partnership between Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel.
MS Dhoni, who recently stepped down as the captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), is famous for his cool and calm demeanor and quick wit. He is also known for being very straightforward, whether it's his interactions with the press or with his teammates and coaches. Sports data analyst Prasanna Agoram, who had joined the Rising Pune Supergiant team as a performance coach in 2016, recalled his first meeting with the enigmatic wicketkeeper-batter, who was playing for them when CSK were suspended from the Indian Premier League (IPL) for two years.
Mumbai Police will provide green corridors for the movement of buses carrying players and staff for the IPL 2022 season to ensure that they reach the venues for playing and practice in time and do not get stuck in traffic. Over 1,100 police personnel including traffic police will be deployed for the matches in Mumbai, a senior officer said on Saturday.
