Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 55 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, on Sunday. CSK are currently ninth in the IPL 2022 Points Table with six points from 10 games, including three wins and seven defeats.
Delhi Capitals players were once again forced into isolation in the ongoing IPL-15 after a net bowler of the franchise tested positive for COVID-19. "One net bowler tested positive today morning in test. Players have been asked to stay in rooms," IPL sources said hours ahead of their Sunday's match against Chennai Super Kings.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) went down against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday, but the PBKS skipper Mayank Agarwal praised pacer Arshdeep Singh for the way he stood out with his performance. A fiery half-century by Yashasvi Jaiswal (68 off 41 balls) and a three-wicket haul by Yuzvendra Chahal (3/28) gave RR a six-wicket win here at the Wankhede Stadium. For Punjab, Arshdeep (2/29) scalped two wickets, dismissing Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal (31).
Delhi Capitals are currently at the fifth spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 points table with 10 points from 10 games. The side will next clash against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday evening and the Rishabh Pant-led side would look to register their second win on the trot to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the playoffs. In the last game, the side had defeated SunRisers Hyderabad after David Warner, Rovman Powell and Khaleel Ahmed emerged as standout performers. Heading into the game against CSK, it needs to be seen whether Prithvi Shaw would be in the mix to start for Delhi Capitals.
Chennai Super Kings have struggled for form this season, with just three wins in 10 matches. The franchise had a captaincy change mid-season, with MS Dhoni back as the skipper as Ravindra Jadeja stepped down. While they won the first match after that change against SunRisers Hyderabad, they suffered a defeat in their next game to Royal Challengers Bangalore. The defending champions next take on fifth-placed Delhi Capitals at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai in Sunday's second match as they look to keep alive their slim hopes of making it to the playoffs. Shivam Dube and Dwayne Bravo have missed out on the last two matches and while there is no word on Dube, Bravo is understood to have a niggle that has kept him out of the playing XI.
Rajasthan Royals on Sunday said that their West Indian batter Shimron Hetmyer has left for Guyana for the birth of his first child. "We are helping him (Hetymer) in every way we can, and our best wishes are with him and his wife Nirvani," the Royals said on their official Twitter handle. They also said that Hetymer would return to Mumbai soon and resume his duties for the franchise for the remaining matches of the IPL.
Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals both will look to keep alive their hopes of making it to the IPL 2022 playoffs when they face off in the second match on Sunday. CSK, after their captaincy change, beat SunRisers Hyderabad but fell to defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore. They are ninth on the IPL 2022 points table with six points from 10 matches. DC, meanwhile, beat SRH by 21 runs in their last match and will look to carry forward the momentum from that match. They are currently fifth on the points table, with 10 points from 10 matches. The two teams last met in last season's Qualifier 1, which CSK won by four wickets.
Following Yashasvi Jaiswal's half-century that helped his side gain a six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in IPL 2022, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson said that the team knew that the opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was due for a long innings and had spent a lot of time practicing in nets. Fiery half-century by Yashasvi Jaiswal and a three-wicket haul by Yuzvendra Chahal, provided Rajasthan Royals with a six-wicket win over Punjab Kings, here at the Wankhede Stadium, on Saturday.
