That is as simple as that for me," Rohit said in a passionate speech in the dressing room after the game against KKR. "I think slight desperation is required from each one of us. That desperation is very, very, very important when we play, especially in this tournament. Because opposition are different, they come up with different plans all the time. We just need to stay ahead of them. We just need to stay on top of them.

IPL 2022, PBKS vs GT: Punjab Kings look to shed tag of inconsistency against impressive Gujarat Titans

Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans will look to stretch their run of luck when the two sides lock horns at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday. For Punjab, the only worry over the years has been consistency, and the trend continues in the 15th season. Having opened their campaign with a thumping five-wicket win over RCB, they surrendered meekly to KKR, but recovered quickly with a commanding 54-run victory over CSK. Gujarat, on the other hand, are yet to taste defeat. The Hardik Pandya-led outfit opened their campaign with handsome wins over Lucknow and Delhi Capitals. Going into Friday's contest, both sides have more or less found a core. Punjab did get desired results while opting for the lesser-known pair of Jitesh Sharma and Vaibhav Arora against CSK, before Englishman Liam Livingstone's all-round brilliance overshadowed their contributions.

IPL 2022, LSG vs DC: Lucknow Super Giants call the shots against Delhi Capitals

Quinton de Kock's 52-ball 80 helps Lucknow to tense 6-wicket win over Delhi Capitals on tricky pitchQuinton de Kock made it look easy on a difficult wicket for the batsmen. The South African scored a flamboyant 80 (off 52b; 9x4, 2x6) to lead IPL newbies Lucknow Super Giants to a six-wicket win against Delhi Capitals at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday. AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD | POINTS TABLEThe dew surely helped negate some of the problems the batters were facing with regards to their timing, but de Kock made sure he was there at the crease to take advantage. With 150 to chase, he added 73 for the opening wicket with LSG skipper KL Rahul to lay the platform for the win; and by the time he was dismissed Lucknow required 28 runs off four overs. The Super Giants nearly made a hash of the chase, but young gun Ayush Badoni (10 not out off 3b; 1x4, 1x6) did his quickly-growing reputation of being a finisher no harm with a boundary and a six in the 20th over to seal the deal. Earlier, it was a peculiar innings from Delhi Capitals. At the top, Prithvi Shaw batted like he was giving an exhibition of his repertoire on the flattest wicket of the world. But, as soon as he got out, the other DC batters found it excruciatingly difficult to even rotate the strike.
