Exclusive - IPL 2022: When MS Dhoni hit the winning 6 in the WC final I decided I would aim to play for the country too someday, grateful I am playing under Dhoni's leadership, says Mukesh Choudhary

Deepak Chahar was ruled out of IPL 2022 with an injury, the four-time champions were looking for a suitable replacement for the star pacer. CSK threw that challenge towards Maharashtra's left-arm pacer Mukesh Choudhary, who has played 13 First Class matches so far. The 25-year-old made his IPL debut against the Lucknow Super Giants and went wicketless, conceding 39 runs. In the next 4 matches, Choudhary claimed 4 wickets (one wicket per match). It wasn't a fairytale start. He didn't just leak runs, he had some slip-ups while fielding too. CSK skipper MS Dhoni, who is known for his calmness on the field, knew Choudhary lacked confidence but was gaining much needed match practice and experience. Dhoni decided to give the 25 year old, who has the ability to swing the ball, one more chance and gave him a pep talk ahead of the clash vs the Mumbai Indians - and Choudhary delivered in style.

IPL 2022: From Kuldeep to Buttler, from Rahul to DK - the most impactful players of the season so far

There are a few players who have been head and shoulders above the rest in terms of their consistency and have hogged the limelight in the ongoing 15th edition of the Indian Premier League, earning praise from experts and fans alike. Some are established players, who are expected to perform well, and some are newcomers who have impressed everyone with their performances. Some of them are scoring truckloads of runs, and some are taking a bucketful of wickets for their teams. But are they the most impactful players for their teams? How will we decide their impactfulness? There can be many different criteria to check the impact of a player in the team, but one tried and tested way is to count the number of Man-of-the-Match (MoM) won by the players. The Man of the Match award is given to the player who had the maximum impact in the match, sometimes regardless of the result. Which is why every once in a while we see a player who ended up on the losing side walking away with the Man of the Match award. Taking that as a criteria, Timesofindia.com analysed the winners of MoM awards so far to find out who have played the biggest roles in their team's success and found Delhi Capitals' wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav as the frontrunner, playing the lead role in all their four wins so far. Apart from Kuldeep, six more players have won multiple MoM awards for their teams -- but they are all two awards each. Here's how these seven players have played a leading role in their teams' success so far in IPL 2022:(All statistics in this article are updated till Match No. 47 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals on May 2, 2022.) Kuldeep Yadav (Delhi Capitals): M 9 | W 17 | Best 4/14 | Av. 15.82 | Econ 8.23 | SR 11.52

Their second match of the season against Rajasthan Royals ended that run of defeats as they won by seven wickets.

IPL 2022: Sanju Samson rues batting failure in defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders

Rajasthan Royals' (RR) captain Sanju Samson considered his batters' inability to score boundaries in the death overs on a slow pitch as the reason for his side's seven-wicket defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here on Monday. Samson said with his batters failing to master the KKR bowling on a slow track at the Wankhede Stadium, they fell short by 15-20 runs. "I think the wicket was a bit slow and they bowled really well, but with the batting we have, I would have liked to score a few more boundaries at the end. I think we were short 15-20 runs," said Samson in the post-match presentation on Monday.
