"Looked A Fish Out Of Water...": Ravi Shastri Underlines Reasons Behind Ravindra Jadeja's Captaincy Failure

Ravindra Jadeja had a forgettable outing as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Under him, the defending champions lost six out of its first eight matches. That poor start led to MS Dhoni again taking over the four-time IPL winners' captaincy mantle. Since Dhoni took over, CSK have won two out of their last three games. However, a playoff spot looks tricky at this point of time.

"In The Russell Mould...": Ravi Shastri Has This Advice For Rishabh Pant To Revive Delhi Capitals' Fortune

Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Rishabh Pant has not been able to capitalise on the good starts that he has got in the IPL 2022. The left-handed batter has scored 281 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 152.71. Though he is DC's second highest run-getter, he has not been able to score a half-century. His scores have mostly remained limited to the mid-20s and mid-30s. His performance has reflected in DC's show too. The franchise has won five of their 11 matches and are fifth in the points table.

IPL 2022: Rishabh Pant should bat in the 'Russell' mode; just smack, no matter who the bowlers is, says Ravi Shastri

Ravi Shastri says Rishabh Pant must bat in the "Andre Russell mode" in T20 format and not change the tempo once he gets going so that he can win more matches for his side, Delhi Capitals. The Southpaw has collected 281 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 152.71 but has struggled to convert his starts into meaningful contributions. The 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is having an underwhelming IPL season. He has shown glimpses of his destructive power but could not take the team over the line like he has done umpteen times in the past. "I feel once he gets the tempo going he shouldn't change, he should be in the Russell mould in this format of the game," Shastri said on ESPNcricinfo's 'T20 Time Out'.

IPL 2022: Did too many decision makers contribute to Kolkata Knight Riders' downfall?

This age old adage fits aptly on Kolkata Knight Riders, who are staring at early elimination from the 2022 season, after competing in title-clash last year. While they are still afloat after beating wooden-spooners Mumbai Indians by 52 runs, the post-match comments from captain Shreyas Iyer have certainly opened the pandora's box, raising questions if there is too much of interference from the management, especially long-standing CEO Venky Mysore. A testimony to KKR's problems has been the fact that 20 players have played in 12 games.

"Daddy Showing Who Is The Boss": Ravi Shastri Hails Mumbai Indians Star

In the first 10 games of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah failed to take wickets consistently and he just had five wickets but all this changed in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy. Bumrah was at his fiery best and he rattled the opposition by unleashing yorkers and bouncers. The pacer went on to take five wickets, his maiden fifer in the cash-rich league.

"Does He Say The Same About Rohit Sharma?": Matthew Hayden On Ravi Shastri's Virat Kohli "Needs A Break" Comment

Virat Kohli recorded his third golden duck of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season against SunRisers Hyderabad on Sunday and once again a debate has started on whether the batter should take a break to rejuvenate himself. The idea was first floated by former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri, who has followed Kohli from close quarters. Whether the former India skipper needs a break was even discussed on-air by Harsha Bhogle, Matthew Hayden and Sunil Gavaskar while they were doing commentary for the match between RCB and SRH.

Watch: Out Or Not Out? Mumbai Indians Captain Rohit Sharma's Controversial Dismissal Against Kolkata Knight Riders In Focus

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma was a frustrated man on Monday. After his team restricted Kolkata Knight Riders to 165/9 in 20 overs, a lot was expected of Rohit Sharma -- the batter. However, he could not contribute much. Rohit fell for just two off six balls in the first over of the chase, bowled by KKR pacer Tim Southee. More than the score, it was his dismissal that created a lot of buzz. To add to it, MI lost the game by a massive 52 runs for their ninth loss of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
