The bonanza that is the Indian Premier League is back in town or, rather, Mumbai and Pune. As highlighted last week, there is an unprecedented amount of professional international cricket taking place at present. Attention is likely to be deflected away from it once the first IPL match opens on March 26.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) spinner Rahul Chahar has said that it is a privilege for him to play under the guidance of head coach Anil Kumble in the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League (IPL). Rahul was bought by the Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings for Rs 5.25 crore in the mega auction held in February this year. Earlier, he was a part of Mumbai Indians. "It is a privilege to play under Anil sir. Ever since I was a child, I always looked up to him as he is the highest wicket-taker for India. As a bowler, I love to play Test matches and always wanted to learn from him. Now finally I have got the opportunity to work under him and learn from his experience," Rahul told ANI.
Delhi Capitals will look to go the whole distance this time, when Rishabh Pant and co. begin their IPL 2022 campaign from March 27 onwards.
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.
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.
