Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada became South Africa's highest wicket-taker in the Indian Premier League (IPL), surpassing former great Dale Steyn.
Liam Livingstone turned out to be the star bowler for Punjab Kings during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match against Delhi Capitals on Monday. He finished with figures of 3/27 in four overs to be PBKS' best bowler. But more than those figures, it was Livingstone's style of bowling that impressed all. The England player employed off-spin to dismiss David Warner off the first ball of the innings and also DC captain Rishabh Pant. Then, he dismissed Rovman Powell with leg-spin.
Delhi Capitals (DC) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 17 runs in Match 64 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday. Chasing a target of 160 runs, PBKS were restricted to 142 for nine in 20 overs by Delhi with Shardul Thakur taking four wickets in his four overs. Initially, a knock of 63 runs off 48 balls by Mitchell Marsh helped Delhi post 159 for seven in 20 overs. Meanwhile, Liam Livingstone and Arshdeep Singh took three wickets each for PBKS.
Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was happy that his team could finally buck the trend of winning one and losing the next game in the IPL while a dejected Punjab Kings leader Mayank Agarwal wanted to forget his team's inept batting show in a hurry. Delhi Capitals beat Punjab Kings by 17 runs to move to fourth place in the points table with a superior net run-rate compared to Royal Challengers Bangalore, who also have 14 points, while Punjab remained in the IPL play-offs hunt only in theory. "Playing throughout the tournament, we have been losing one game and winning one game. That's something we wanted to change as a team and we got it," Pant said after the match.
Spinners Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav were inspirational in the middle overs even as Shardul Thakur complemented the duo with a career-best IPL figures as Delhi Capitals inched closer towards play-off qualifications beating Punjab Kings by 17 runs in an IPL match on Monday. Invited to bat, DC posted 159 for 7 courtesy Mitchell Marsh's 48-ball 63 and then restricted Punjab to 142 for 9. Thakur (4/36), Axar (2/14) and Kuldeep (2/14) shared eight wickets among them while Anrich Nortje got the important wicket of Jonny Bairstow. It is between overs 6-14 where Delhi won the game as Kuldeep and Axar cumulatively gave away only 28 runs in seven overs with four wickets between them.
During Royal Challengers Bangalore's defeat to Punjab Kings on Friday, Rajat Patidar hit a massive six that ended up injuring one unfortunate fan. During the ninth over of RCB's chase of 210, Patidar smashed Harpreet Brar over cow corner. The ball travelled a huge distance and hit a part of the stands under the railing and ended up hitting the fan. The camera panned to show a lady in the stands attending to the elderly fan, who looked to be in discomfort.
Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga on Friday took the lead in the race for the Purple Cap in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 with his two wickets against Punjab Kings for Royal Challengers Bangalore. He is tied with Yuzvendra Chahal at 23 wickets, but has a better economy rate so far this season. His compatriot and an IPL veteran, Lasith Malinga, took to Twitter to congratulate him and went on to say that it will be a battle between "the two spin masters" for the Purple cap - which is given to the highest wicket-taker in IPL - this year.
Royal Challengers Bangalore's hopes of making the playoffs received a big setback after their 54-run loss to Punjab Kings meant that they remain on 14 points with just one match remaining for them. RCB's net run-rate also suffered and this could be a big problem with quite a few teams breathing down their necks in the race for the playoffs. On Friday, two RCB bowlers had a nightmare -- Mohammed Siraj and Josh Hazlewood. While the Australian has been impressive all season, and the performance against PBKS was probably just a blip, Siraj has been poor throughout IPL 2022.
