IPL 2022, RCB vs GT: Technology did not help this time, says Hardik Pandya on Matthew Wade's controversial dismissal
Hardik Pandya rued that technology did not come to their rescue when Matthew Wade was adjudged LBW in a controversial call but said overall on most occasions it has helped in taking right decisions. Wade's dismissal off Glenn Maxwell triggered a debate during GT's match against Royal Challengers Bangalore with UltraEdge not showing any spike although it seemed that the ball had deflected when it passed the bat. "I think it was slightly there (spike) in the ultra-edge. From the big screen, it was not visible. Because you can't fault, if technology is not helping, then I don't know who's going to help," Hardik said at the post-match press conference.

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.
IPL 2022, RCB vs GT: Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Gujarat Titans to stay in contention
Kohli strikes form, adds 115 runs with Faf to guide his team to winThe season has been anything but easy for former Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli. In 13 matches, the 33-year-old had 236 runs to his credit. He looked out of touch and seemed like finding different ways to get dismissed each time. AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD | POINTS TABLEThe opener found the best match to strike form as he guided his team to an eight-wicket victory over table-toppers Gujarat Titans which kept Faf du Plessis and his men alive in the competition. RCB came into the contest with the sole aim of a win while Kohli walked in to bat to exorcise the demons of a lean patch. He did it in style with a fine 54-ball 73 (8x4; 2x6), his highest score of the season. Chasing 169 for victory, RCB overhauled the target with eight balls to spare with Glenn Maxwell finishing the job with an unbeaten 40 (18b, 5x4, 2x6).
IPL 2022: Not being able to contribute to the team's cause was bothering me, says Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli on Thursday said not being able to contribute to the team's cause and his failure to live up to his own expectations bothered him the most during his prolonged lean patch in this year's Indian Premier League. Kohli roared back top form with a 54-ball 73 to help Royal Challengers Bangalore register a thumping eight-wicket win over table-toppers Gujarat Titans and stay alive in the race to playoffs. "It was an important game. I was disappointed that I haven't done much for my team and that is what bothers me, not the stats. Today was a game where I was able to create an impact for the team. Puts us in a good position.

IPL 2022, Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Gujarat Titans Highlights: Virat Kohli finds form as RCB steamroll Gujarat to stay in play-off race
Virat Kohli roared back to form with a fine half-century as Royal Challengers Bangalore stayed alive in the IPL play-off race with a thumping eight-wicket win over table toppers Gujarat Titans on Thursday. This was after skipper Hardik Pandya scored a gritty 47-ball 62 not out to lift GT to a competitive 168 for five after opting to bat. As it happened | Scorecard | Points TableKohli (73 off 54) and captain Fa du Plessis (44 off 38) shared a match-winning 115-run opening stand before Glenn Maxwell (40 not out off 18) went ballistic to ensure the team got home in 18.4 overs. By virtue of this win, RCB moved to fourth place in the standings with 16 points but will have to wait for the Delhi Capitals-Mumbai Indians game on Saturday to know their fate. A loss for Delhi would ensure RCB a play-off berth. As the 'Kohli Kohli' chants suggested, the whole of Wankhede and probably the country wanted to see the former India captain back amongst the runs and with a little bit of luck going his way, he was back playing the shots he is known for.
