Indian Premier League (IPL) has passed the half-way mark after a month of high-octane action in the world's richest Twenty20 cricket tournament. AFP Sport looks at five talking points from the first half of the season. Jos Buttlerhas smiled his way to the top of this season's batting chart with three sparkling centuries for Rajasthan Royals.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has said that Lucknow Super Giants Krunal Pandya is lucky that Mumbai Indians batter Kieron Pollard did not react after the spinner gave a 'kiss' send off to the all-rounder during the Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Sunday. Krunal had dismissed Pollard and then he celebrated by kissing the right-hander on the head. Pollard then just walked to the dugout and had no reaction to it at all.
Mumbai Indians batter Ishan Kishan has found it tough to score big runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as he has managed just 199 runs in eight games, with his highest score of 81 coming in the first game of this season. The left-handed opener has not been his fluent self. There were high expectations from Kishan after he was picked up by MI for Rs 15.25 crore in the mega auction. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has identified Kishan's weakness against short deliveries and said the 23-year-old might find it tough in Australia and South Africa.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was all praise for T Natarajan, saying that the SunRisers Hyderabad pacer has regained confidence in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 after overcoming injury setbacks. Natarajan, who was bought back by SRH for INR 4 crore during the IPL auction, is currently the second-highest wicket-taker of the season with 15 wickets from seven matches. Gavaskar was extremely impressed by the left-arm pacer for putting in the hard yards, adding that Natarajan is definitely up for a comeback to the Indian cricket team.
Virat Kohli is going through a lean patch and recorded back-to-back golden ducks in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. In the last game against SunRisers Hyderabad, the RCB batter edged the first ball he faced off Marco Jansen to second slip and his expression after the dismissal said it all. So far, in the ongoing season, Kohli has managed to score just 119 runs from eight games and his form is starting to become a concern looking how India have to play a T20 World Cup this year in Australia.
Hardik Pandya has his "thinking cap on" this season, according to the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, who feels the Gujarat Titans skipper is batting with discipline and making good use of field restrictions, which has raised his game. The star Baroda all-rounder has led the Gujarat Titans from the front, rescuing the team on several occasions with his responsible knocks. The all-rounder has contributed with the ball as well and is an important cog in the wheel for the Titans.
Mumbai Indians have won the Indian Premier League (IPL) title a record five times, but find themselves staring down the barrel after losing seven consecutive matches in IPL 2022. In fact, Rohit Sharma's team is the first to lose its first seven matches in history of the tournament. Their latest defeat came on Thursday as MI went down to Chennai Super Kings in a last-ball thriller at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. Following the loss, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said said the team "will be down in the dumps" after yet another loss.
MS Dhoni on Thursday night did what he does best, which is to successfully guide his team to victory in the last over. This time it was on the last delivery of the innings as he hit a crucial boundary to take Chennai Super Kings home against Mumbai Indians at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
