Rajasthan Royals batter Shimron Hetmyer, who had flown to Guyana for the birth of his first child, has rejoined the squad and is likely to be available for the side's final league match on Friday. The big-hitting West Indian had flown to Guyana for the birth of his son on May 8, missing the matches against Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants.
In Rajasthan Royals' defeat against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday, Sanju Samson came in to bat at No.5, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Devdutt Padikkal promoted above their skipper. While both Ashwin (50) and Padikkal (48) made hefty contributions, Samson was out for just 6 off four deliveries as he tried to clear the ropes but found the fielder in the deep off Anrich Nortje's bowling. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was not best pleased by the Royals' tactics and blamed Samson's batting position for his failure to play an impactful innings.
Ravichandran Ashwin says the work done on his batting technique before the start of the season has yielded results in the IPL, where Rajasthan Royals have given him the opportunity to bat higher up the order. Batting at no 3, Ashwin smashed a 38-ball 50 against Delhi Capitals here on Wednesday night, albeit in a losing cause. "No license has been given. Starting from the season it was communicated to me properly that I will be used as a batter up the order. We had a few practice games where I opened also.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) face Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 58 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday. RR are currently third in the IPL 2022 Points Table with 14 points from 11 games, including seven wins and four defeats. The Sanju Samson-led side won their previous outing against Punjab Kings (PBKS), winning by six wickets. All eyes will be on Jos Buttler, who currently leads the Orange Cap Race with 618 runs in 11 games, including three tons and three half-centuries. Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal leads the Purple Cap Race with 22 wickets in 11 fixtures (with a four-wicket and five-wicket haul). The RR spinner will be key to Samson's plans against Delhi.
Rajasthan Royals on Sunday informed that West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer has left the team camp in Mumbai to travel back to Guyana for the birth of his first child. The franchise said that the left-handed batter will be back soon. The batter has been in incredible form this season for the franchise and has provided the much-needed boost lower down the order.
Following Yashasvi Jaiswal's half-century that helped his side gain a six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in IPL 2022, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson said that the team knew that the opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was due for a long innings and had spent a lot of time practicing in nets. Fiery half-century by Yashasvi Jaiswal and a three-wicket haul by Yuzvendra Chahal, provided Rajasthan Royals with a six-wicket win over Punjab Kings, here at the Wankhede Stadium, on Saturday.
Rajasthan Royals are currently at the third spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 points table with 12 points. The side will next square off against Punjab Kings on Saturday and the Sanju Samson-led side would look to bounce back in strong fashion to further consolidate their top four spot. The side had last suffered a defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets. Sanju Samson was the only bright spot with the bat and the franchise would hope for a collective performance against Punjab, who had last defeated Gujarat Titans.
Punjab Kings will take on Rajasthan Royals in Match 52 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. PBKS have been inconsistent this season, winning five and losing five games so far. RR, on the other hand, have lost their last two after an excellent start. However, RR sit third in the points table with 12 points and a win would take them closer to a place in the playoffs. This will be the first meeting of the season between the two sides.
