IPL 2022: Kuldeep Yadav needed positive environment, love and attention, says Ricky Ponting

Kuldeep Yadav required a "positive environment" filled with a lot of "love and attention" to blossom and that's what was given to him by Delhi Capitals, head coach Ricky Ponting said. The left-arm wrist spinner, who is currently second in the list of wicket-takers with 17 scalps, had a rough three years prior to this IPL edition after being confined to bench by the erstwhile national team management and also not getting enough support from his previous IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders. Add to it, he had a major knee surgery that ruled him out of last IPL.

IPL 2022: KKR hope to end top-order woes, losing streak against Rajasthan Royals

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) would like to find a winning combination against Rajasthan Royals (RR) and snap their five-match losing streak in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here on Monday. The form of Venkatesh Iyer, who is experiencing second season blues, has a lot to do with the changes KKR have been forced to make regularly at the top of the order. Venkatesh's performances have been underwhelming to say the least after a season that helped him get into the Indian team. After his struggles at the top, the team tried him in the middle-order but that too did not work. The southpaw was back opening alongside Aaron Finch in the last game but runs deserted him again. Making the play-offs from here looks improbable for KKR who desperately need to find their best XI and stick with it for the remainder of the competition. "A lot of chopping and changing is happening, it's been difficult to set up the right combination, with all injuries not helping as well. We need to stick together, play some fearless cricket, not be conservative with the bat," said skipper Shreyas Iyer after the last game.

IPL 2022: If dew hadn't played a part, 158 would've been enough, says Rajasthan Royals' Ravichandran Ashwin

Rajasthan Royals (RR) if dew hadn't played a major role, premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said after his team's five-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here. Suryakumar Yadav and young Tilak Varma gave the best birthday present to their skipper Rohit Sharma as MI finally opened their account on Saturday. Chasing a victory target of 159, MI reached home in 19.2 overs, courtesy of Surya (51 off 39 balls) and Tilak (35 off 30 balls), with the two adding 81 runs for the third wicket.

IPL 2022: Our real potential came out, says Rohit Sharma after Mumbai Indians' first win of the season

Rohit Sharma would any day take a Mumbai Indians' (MI) victory as a birthday present and more so when the team finally performed to its potential after eight straight defeats. MI recorded their first win of the season beating Rajasthan Royals by five wickets as they put up their best show of the current edition on a Saturday night. "I'd definitely take it," Rohit said when asked if he ever thought this could be his birthday present.

Royals’ hopes were raised after the youngster dismissed Kieron Pollard on the first delivery, but Daniel Sams sealed the match with a six over deep mid-wicket.
