IPL franchise team Lucknow Super Giants mentor Gautam Gambhir as a Global Mentor for its cricketing operations. Gambhir, in addition to guiding LSG, will now also mentor RPSG Group's T20 team in South Africa - Durban's Super Giants. Under Gambhir, LSG qualified for the play-offs in its debut season.
The IPL 2022 came to an end on Sunday night as Gujarat Titans clinched the title in their debut season after the side defeated Rajasthan Royals in the IPL final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Hardik Pandya-led side defeated RR by seven wickets and 11 balls to spare to win the title. With the tournament now over, former India captain Sachin Tendulkar picked his T20 Team of the Season and named Hardik Pandya as his skipper.
Wriddhiman Saha played a crucial role for Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign. The wicketkeeper-batter scored three half-centuries this season and ended up with a tally of 317 runs in 11 matches at an average of 31.70. Saha was promoted up the order and opened the batting for Gujarat Titans. He did justice to the role and also performed brilliantly behind the stumps. After GT's IPL 2022 final win over Rajasthan Royals, Mohammed Shami paid a big compliment to Saha. The two players have featured together in the Bengal state team, Indian cricket team and now in GT too.
Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Umran Malik bagged the Emerging player of the Season award of Indian Premier League 2022 on Sunday. The young pacer managed to pick up 22 wickets in 14 games in the 15th edition of the IPL with a bowling average of 20.18 and an economy of 9.03. While Rajasthan Royals star batter Jos Buttler bagged six awards which include MVP of the season, Orange Cap, most number of sixers in the season, most number of fours in the season, Powerplayer of the season and Gamechanger of the season award.
Rajasthan Royals opening batter Jos Buttler held the Orange Cap in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Englishman registered a whopping total of 863 runs in 17 matches, at an average of 57.53 and a strike rate of 149.05.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul became the first-ever player in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL) to score 600-plus runs in four IPL seasons. Rahul achieved this feat during the Eliminator clash of the ongoing IPL 2022 against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday here at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He reached this unique batting milestone during his 58-ball 79-run inning against Faf du Plessis-led team.
A dejected Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul blamed sloppy fielding for his team's 14-run defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL Eliminator while acknowledging Rajat Patidar's brilliant hundred being the difference between the two teams. The 28-year-old Indore man Patidar scored a 54-ball 112 not out to singlehandedly win the IPL Eliminator for RCB. "I think it's quite obvious - the reasons why we didn't win. We let ourselves down in the field. Dropping easy catches never helps. Difference was obviously Patidar playing such a knock. When someone in the top three scores a hundred, more often the team wins," Rahul said after the match.
Umran Malik and Mohsin Khan could be rewarded for their IPL performances while old-horses Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik are likely to return to the T20 set up when the India squad is picked for the home series against South Africa on Sunday. All-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has not played for India since the T20 World Cup last year, has shown form and fitness in the IPL and is set to be included in the squad for the five-game series beginning June 9. He is finally back to bowling regularly, which was critical in his national comeback bid.
