IPL 2022, RR vs CSK: Rajasthan Royals eye coveted second spot in game against Chennai Super Kings

Can Royals get two bites of the cherry?Thrown into several difficult situations, Rajasthan Royals have responded quite impressively to emerge as one of the most consistent and dangerous sides of IPL 2022. Their middle-order fragility has been a cause for concern, but over a span of 13 league matches, the Sanju Samson-led outfit has often found heroes to take them home. The biggest plus for Royals this season has been the team effort, with the bowling unit being central to their success. With many positives in the bag, Royals will take the field for their last league match on Friday at the Brabourne Stadium against out- of- contention Chennai Super Kings with eyes on the second playoff spot. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), who finished playing their quota of league games on Wednesday, are currently in possession of the second berth, but a win will put the Royals ahead on better net run rate.

Despite Poor Form In IPL 2022, Kane Williamson Will Be In Form In Upcoming England Test Series: NZ Head Coach Gary Stead

New Zealand head coach Gary Stead is hopeful that their skipper Kane Williamson, who went through a lean patch in IPL 2022, will be back to his form in the upcoming Test series against England. Williamson played 13 matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad and scored just 216 runs, before flying back to New Zealand on Wednesday for the birth of his second child. "He's a bit disappointed he hasn't got the runs he wanted during the IPL. You don't often see the great players often miss out perhaps as much as he has, but I think what we have to understand, coming back into red-ball cricket, I think that will suit where he's at with his game, his temperament as well," said Stead as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
