Former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith feels the "mental strain" of leading the Indian team across formats may be taking a toll on Rohit Sharma in the ongoing IPL. Rohit's Mumbai Indians, who have won the IPL a record five times, are yet to open their account in the 15th edition of the lucrative league, having lost all their four matches so far.

Punjab Kings suffered a narrow defeat against the Gujarat Titans in their last game in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as Rahul Tewatia smashed two sixes off the final two balls to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for his team.

IPL 2022, MI Predicted XI vs PBKS: Will Mumbai Indians Try To Bring In Riley Meredith, Fabien Allen?
Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 standings as the Rohit Sharma-led side have lost all their four games so far. The combination has not clicked for the franchise and they are yet to settle on a playing XI that can click in all conditions. Batting, bowling and fielding have all not been up to the mark this season for the five-time champions and this is the big reason behind Mumbai Indians' failure in the ongoing edition. The side will next square off against Punjab Kings on Wednesday and it needs to be seen whether the side makes any changes to their lineup.
IPL 2022, CSK vs RCB: Harshal Patel has ability to stop the game, RCB missed that, admits skipper Faf du Plessis after defeat against CSK
Faf du Plessis admitted that Royal Challengers Bangalore missed the services of their pacer Harshal Patel in their defeat against Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2022 on Tuesday. Notably, Harshal was not part of RCB's playing XI against Chennai at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy as the pacer had to leave the IPL bio bubble to return home after news of his sister's tragic death. Sources in RCB had said that Harshal exited the bubble on Sunday after the game against Mumbai Indians on Saturday. It is not yet clear how long Harshal will remain unavailable for the RCB team. Faf du Plessis in the post-match presentation said: "First 7-8 overs were pretty good, then there was a period from 8-14 where Dube took the spinners on. That period, whatever we tried didn't work. In order to chase down such a big score, you need one of the first four to set the foundation. We didn't have that. CSK used their spinners well on a pitch that had some grip. The way we came back was credit to the depth."
IPL 2022, MI vs PBKS: Winless Mumbai Indians seek change of fortunes against Punjab Kings
Mumbai Indians (MI) will be desperate to reverse the trend when they face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here on Wednesday. It has been a nightmarish beginning for the five-time champions who are known for their slow starts. A formidable all-round side over the years, MI have looked a pale shadow of themselves in the ongoing edition, and will need several things to fall in place if they are to arrest the slide and restore their campaign. Apart from their batters' inability to go big, the below-par performance by the bowlers has made things hard. The road to redemption looks difficult as they are placed ninth on the points table but skipper Rohit Sharma would be eager to turn things around, not just for the team but for himself, too.
