"Not Same Batter He Was Last Season": Sanjay Manjrekar On PBKS Captain Mayank Agarwal's Torrid Form

Punjab Kings' hopes of making it to the playoffs were left hanging by a thread following their defeat to Delhi Capitals on Monday. It was another tumultuous night for Punjab Kings captain Mayank Agarwal with the bat, dismissed for a two-ball duck by Axar Patel. In the end, PBKS failed to chase down the 160-run target, falling short by 17 runs. It meant that PBKS will now have to rely on other teams doing them a favour, if they are to have any chance of making into the top four.

IPL 2022: Manjrekar calls to get rid of 'completely redundant' bails after Chahal-Warner incident

Sanjay Manjrekar has called for getting rid of "completely redundant" bails in modern-day cricket after an incident featuring Yuzvendra Chahal and David Warner in Wednesday's IPL 2022 match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals at DY Patil Stadium. In the ninth over of Delhi's successful chase of 161, Warner had a huge slice of luck when on the last ball of the over, a leg break from Chahal went past his bat and brushed the leg stump. It was sufficient to light the stumps but not enough to dislodge one of the bails, which is a requirement for a clean bowled dismissal. Eventually, Warner was unbeaten at 52 and with Mitchell Marsh leading the chase with a 62-ball 89, Delhi got a much-needed win by eight wickets. "I've said this before as well, it's redundant now with the LED stumps to have the bails on. Today it would've been a wicket deserving for Chahal who bowled superbly. It was a terrible shot from Warner, and it didn't get a wicket. Unless it's adding an aesthetic value, they should just get rid of the bails because they're completely redundant with LED technology," said Manjrekar on ESPNcricinfo's T20 Time: Out show.

IPL 2022: Ahead Of Jasprit Bumrah, Sunil Narine, This Punjab Kings Pacer Has Incredible Numbers

Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh of Punjab Kings (PBKS) has quite easily been one of the most exciting prospects in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) so far. The fast bowler might not be high in the wicket's column quite often in IPL 2022, but he has maintained an impressive economy of 7.70 considering the opportunities given to him to bowl mostly in the death overs as well as in the powerplay. This has gone a long way in ensuring that PBKS remain in the hunt for a place in the playoffs.
