Delhi Capitals' Shardul Thakur, who feels that multi-skilled cricketers become key when specialists fail in one department. The Capitals have all-rounders in abundance including the likes of Mitchell Marsh, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Mandeep Singh and Thakur himself. "We have great depth in our batting.
Delhi Capitals have had a mixed bag of IPL 2022 season so far as the franchise recorded a victory in their opening fixture but then they failed to replicate the success and stumbled to a loss against the Gujarat Titans. However, Delhi would be buoyed by the fact that both David Warner and Anrich Nortje are now available and this will provide ample ammunition to the Rishabh Pant-led side. The powerplay batting has been a concern for the Delhi-based franchise and they would hope for Warner to partner Prithvi Shaw at the top and help the franchise to get off to a rollicking start.
Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 clash on Saturday, Delhi Capitals' skipper Rishabh Pant said that the team could have batted well in the middle overs. Shubman Gill's 84-run knock and Lockie Ferguson's four-wicket haul guide Gujarat to a 14-run win here at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. "I think according to the wicket, that total was not so big. We could have batted well, especially in the middle overs. We lost three wickets in the powerplay and three in the middle (overs). I think every match is going to be hard after losing so many wickets," said Pant in a post-match presentation.
Lockie Ferguson may not steam in like former Kiwi expressman Shane Bond or possess the rhythmic run-up ex-South African pacer Dale Steyn had. His run-up, a gentle amble to the crease, belies the speed at which he going to deliver the ball. What he brings to the mix is a mean bouncer and a quick off-cutter, which on Saturday led to the undoing of Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant and allrounder Axar Patel at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) stadium. AS IT HAPPENEDThe two wickets Ferguson took in the 15th over had a profound impact. In pursuit of the Titans' 171, Capitals ended 14 runs short, giving the debutants an unbeaten start to their maiden IPL campaign. Ferguson ended with figures of 4/28 off his four overs. Ferguson had enjoyed another double strike earlier in the fourth over, getting rid of dangerous opener Prithvi Shaw and Mandeep Singh. An astute Pandya brought Ferguson back in the 15th over with the match evenly poised, and the New Zealander's second double strike sealed the issue. Pant and Lalit Yadav had resurrected the Capitals' innings from 34/3 with a 61-run fourth-wicket stand before the latter was run-out looking for a non-existent single.
Gujarat Titans to victory with his four-wicket haul against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League on Saturday, New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson said that having a potent bowling unit makes things easier for him. Shubman Gill's 84-run knock and Ferguson's 4 for 28 guided Gujarat to a 14-run win against Delhi here at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. "It was one of those nights; and with the kind of bowling partners I have, it makes things very easy for me. It's great (to have a potent bowling unit), helps to spread calmness in the group. The pressure was coming from both ends with the ball and it worked for us," said Ferguson at the post-match presentation.
New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson scalped four wickets for 28 runs in a stunning display of pace and accuracy after Shubman Gill's imperious 84 to help Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs and register their second consecutive win in their maiden IPL season here on Saturday. Ferguson, who was bought for a whopping Rs 10 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, dismissed dangerous opener Prithvi Shaw (10), Mandeep Singh (18), captain Rishabh Pant (43 off 29 balls) and Axar Patel (8) to rock the DC's run chase of 172.
Rishabh Pant - will lead Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals respectively, hoping to get the better of each other at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Saturday. While left-arm spinner Axar Patel and all-rounder Lalit Verma rescued the Capitals from a precarious position to chase 179 with 10 balls remaining in their opening game, the Titans were grateful to the lower-order hitting from David Miller, Rahul Tewatia and Abhinav Manohar to scrape past Supergiants in their debut clash.
England in a double-header in FIH Pro League over the weekend at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar. The team naturally doesn’t always begin every game in similar fashion and do fail to hit their top form from the very word go. They let in goals and fail to breach the opponents’ defences.
