IPL 2022, RR vs MI: Rajasthan Royals aim to continue winning momentum against struggling Mumbai Indians

Rajasthan Royals are reaping benefits of getting it right in the mega auction. After several years, the franchise can boast of a attack high on experience and talent. The last three outings perfectly explain the massive role Royals’ bowlers have played in winning them the games. Runs or no runs, bowlers have done a splendid job in defending totals ranging from 144 to 222 this IPL. With Yuzvendra Chahal in possession of the Purple Cap with 18 wickets from eight matches, other bowlers have complemented him pretty well and the team has altogether affected 61 dismissals, most by any team so far. Strikingly, as the tournament is progressing, Ravichandran Ashwin too has started having a bigger impact with important breakthroughs. The 35-year-old is more than just a run-stopper and does not look like a bowler who until recently was labelled as being ‘defensive’ in the T20s.

IPL 2022: Rajasthan Royals Aim To Continue Winning Momentum vs Mumbai Indians

On a three-match winning streak, Rajasthan Royals have the momentum as well as source of inspiration when they face bottom-placed and out-of-reckoning Mumbai Indians in an Indian Premier League match here on Saturday. The Royals will be celebrating the extraordinary life of their lone IPL title-winning captain Shane Warne, who died last month in Thailand, during this game. A win would give a perfect tribute to the legendary Australian spinner under whose inspirational leadership, the Royals had won the 2008 title.

IPL 2022: Rajasthan Royals Pacer Kuldeep Sen Aims To Hit 150 Kmph

Rajasthan Royals pacer Kuldeep Sen aims to hit 150 kmph with his bowling. All-rounder Riyan Parag's unbeaten 56 off 31 helped Rajasthan put up a respectable 144/8 on the board in their 20 overs. Later, pacer Kuldeep Sen (4/20) and Ravichandran Ashwin (3/17) strangled the RCB batting with their bowling spells and bundled them out for 115, giving a 29-run win to their side. "150 kmph is on the way. I am somewhere around it right now," said Sen during his post-match discussion with Riyan Parag.

"Wasting Good Form And Opportunity": WI Great Serves Wake-Up Call To Sanju Samson On India Comeback

Sanju Samson, despite starting the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 with a half-century, has not been able to maintain his form for Rajasthan Royals (RR). The 27-ball 55 that the 27-year-old hit in RR's season opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad remains his only half-century in eight matches. In fact, in the last six matches, the wicketkeeper-batter has fallen for below 30 on four occasions. With the IPL being one of the last opportunities to impress the BCCI selectors for a ticket to the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, Samson's inability to score big might be an issue.

IPL 2022: Sanju Samson wasting good form and opportunity to press for international recall, says Ian Bishop

Ian Bishop reckons Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson is wasting good form and opportunity to press for a recall in the Indian T20 set up by not playing impactful innings in the IPL. The wicketkeeper-batter is still on the fringes of the Indian T20 team and a stellar show in the IPL could be help him stake a claim in the T20 World Cup squad. "That Sanju is wasting good form and good opportunity to score runs to press for an international recall, to lead his team when Jos Buttler doesn't score," Bishop said on ESPNcricinfo's 'T20 Time Out'.

IPL 2022, RCB vs RR - Great players go through phases like this: Faf du Plessis on Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been horribly out of form in this IPL but he got the backing of his Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis, who on Tuesday said "great players go through phases like this". Kohli was promoted to the top of the order against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday after scoring back-to-back ducks but that move also did not yield the desired result as the former India captain was out for nine. RCB lost the match by 29 runs. "We tried changing the batting line-up today and we feel that they can try playing positively," du Plessis said when asked about a struggling Kohli being sent to bat as an opener along with him.

IPL 2022, RR Predicted XI vs RCB: Sanju Samson Likely To Maintain Winning Combination

In their most recent outing, Rajasthan defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 34, winning by 15 runs. Jos Buttler smacked a century, registering 116 runs off 65 balls as RR posted 222 for two in 20 overs. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna bagged a three-wicket haul to restrict Delhi to 207 for eight in 20 overs.

IPL 2022, RCB vs RR: Royal Challengers Bangalore have task cut out against Rajasthan Royals

Du Plessis' men must root out inconsistency to contain rampaging Rajasthan RoyalsInconsistency can be frustrating. For proof ask Royal Challengers Bangalore. As a team they have done reasonably well, barring the nine-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday night, but when you delve deeper, there are many missing pieces of the puzzle that need to come together for Faf du Plessis and his men if they fancy a shot at the elusive title. Discrepancies in many areas have been masked by some individual heroics with bat and ball, but they will soon run out of performances to hide behind.
