IPL 2O22: We were not good enough but life has not ended, says Mumbai Indians' Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah said it as it is. The Mumbai Indians' (MI) pacer admitted that they were "not good enough", after slumping to their sixth successive defeat in a nightmarish Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign. On Saturday, they were done in by KL Rahul's masterful hundred as he powered Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to an 18-run win to push the five-time champions closer to a league-stage elimination. "We have been in a fight. A lot of games with little luck here or there, but it is the way it is. We are not shying away that we were not good enough and the table is not lying. In the rest of our games, we will try to give our best shot and come out on the better side," Bumrah said at the post-match press conference.

IPL 2022: I prefer setting small goals, says KKR pacer Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav is the latest to join that brigade with his super show in the first half of the tournament so far. Umesh, who last played white-ball cricket for India in February 2019 in a T20I match against Australia in Visakhapatnam, did not get enough opportunities to represent the country in the shortest format, playing only seven T20Is in his career. Even in the mega auction before this IPL, he initially went unsold till Kolkata Knight Riders bought him for Rs 2 crore.

IPL 2022: I have been trying everything to be a part of the Indian team, says Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik on Saturday said that he has been "trying everything" to stage a comeback into the Indian team. Karthik, 36, who began his journey in international cricket way back in 2004, has not put a foot wrong in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), playing some of the finest knocks for his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who spent on Rs 5.5 crore on him in the auction. He stretched his excellent run of form with a blistering 34-ball 66, paving the way for RCB's 16-run win over Delhi Capitals.

IPL 2022, DC vs RCB: Dinesh Karthik sets up big win for Royal Challengers Bangalore over Delhi Capitals

Dinesh Karthik is not finished yet. He has re-emerged as one of the premier finishers in this season of IPL. About to turn 37 in a couple of months, he is light on his feet as ever while moving in the crease, disturbing the line and lengths of bowlers and making a mockery of the death overs. Saturday night was another freak show which has become usual with Karthik around. Delhi Capitals were his latest prey as he went about pulling Royal Challengers Bangalore out of a hole at 92/5 in the 12th over and then clobbering the young bowling attack to all parts of the ground to score an unbeaten 66 off 34 balls. He put on an unbeaten sixth-wicket 97-run stand with Shahbaz Ahmed as RCB set Capitals a daunting 190-run target.

I take full responsibility for not putting team in position expected from me: Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma took "full responsibility" for Mumbai Indians' dismal IPL season after they lost its sixth consecutive match, saying he is at his wits end to understand what course correction is needed to get them back on track. Skipper Rohit has himself endured a nightmare of a tournament, managing only 114 runs from six games and a highest score of 41. "If I know what's going wrong, I'd correct it but it's not coming off. I'm trying to prepare myself in the way I prepare for every game, that is no different. It's not coming off," Rohit said after MI lost to Lucknow Super Giants by 18 runs here on Saturday.

IPL 2022, Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants Highlights: Rahul's special 103 helps LSG hand MI their sixth successive defeat

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul walked out to bat against Mumbai Indians (MI) for Game 26 of the IPL at the Brabourne Stadium here on Easter Saturday, the batsman's 100th IPL game, the broadcasters showed short highlights of the hundred Rahul had scored at the Wankhede Stadium for Kings XI Punjab, a ground located less than a mile away from the CCI against the same opponents in 2019. It was a marriage of class and carnage. As it happened | Scorecard | Points TableThe Indian white-ball vice-captain was in the mood again on a balmy afternoon and belted probably a better hundred than the one he had scored three years ago as LSG, after being put into bat, ended with 199 for 4, as a clueless Mumbai Indians attack, barring the peerless Jasprit Bumrah, were haemorrhaging runs by the buckets. The total proved 18 runs too many for the hosts as MI lost their sixth game on the trot to equal RCB's horror start in 2019. Back to Rahul. His unbeaten 103 (60balls, 9x4, 5x6) was celebrated by the batsman with what has now become a trademark shutting of the ears and closed eyes. It was a meditative pose. The batsman himself was in the zone on a belter of a pitch for the entire length of his innings as every ball seemed to have an appointment with the middle of his SG willow. Before Saturday, Rahul averaged 66.1 in 14 matches against MI.
