IPL 2022, CSK vs PBKS: Toss key in Chennai Super Kings' quest for first win
Andre Russell storm on Friday. The situation is trickier in the CSK corner with injuries to a number of their frontline pacers. Deepak Chahar won't be available before April-end, Adam Milne suffered an injury after the first game against KKR while Chris Jordan is recovering from a tonsil infection that kept him in hospital for six days. Playing with rookies hasn't been CSK's strong suit over the years, but they have been forced to do that with Tushar Deshpande and Mukesh Choudhary already given a go. They weren't exactly impressive while relatively experienced Shivam Dube looked like a fish out of water at the death against Lucknow.
IPL 2022: We could have batted well, feels Delhi captain Rishabh Pant after loss against Gujarat
Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 clash on Saturday, Delhi Capitals' skipper Rishabh Pant said that the team could have batted well in the middle overs. Shubman Gill's 84-run knock and Lockie Ferguson's four-wicket haul guide Gujarat to a 14-run win here at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. "I think according to the wicket, that total was not so big. We could have batted well, especially in the middle overs. We lost three wickets in the powerplay and three in the middle (overs). I think every match is going to be hard after losing so many wickets," said Pant in a post-match presentation.
IPL 2022: Lockie Ferguson's over changed momentum, says Gujarat Titans' captain Hardik Pandya
Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League match on Saturday, Delhi Capitals were very much in the game at 118/4, with skipper Rishabh Pant still at the crease.

Very happy with the way everyone is stepping up on the right occasion...That over from Lockie changed the momentum," said Hardik at the post-match presentation ceremony.
IPL 2022, GT vs DC: Ferguson, Gill star in Gujarat Titans' win over Delhi Capitals
Lockie Ferguson may not steam in like former Kiwi expressman Shane Bond or possess the rhythmic run-up ex-South African pacer Dale Steyn had. His run-up, a gentle amble to the crease, belies the speed at which he going to deliver the ball. What he brings to the mix is a mean bouncer and a quick off-cutter, which on Saturday led to the undoing of Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant and allrounder Axar Patel at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) stadium. AS IT HAPPENEDThe two wickets Ferguson took in the 15th over had a profound impact. In pursuit of the Titans' 171, Capitals ended 14 runs short, giving the debutants an unbeaten start to their maiden IPL campaign. Ferguson ended with figures of 4/28 off his four overs. Ferguson had enjoyed another double strike earlier in the fourth over, getting rid of dangerous opener Prithvi Shaw and Mandeep Singh. An astute Pandya brought Ferguson back in the 15th over with the match evenly poised, and the New Zealander's second double strike sealed the issue. Pant and Lalit Yadav had resurrected the Capitals' innings from 34/3 with a 61-run fourth-wicket stand before the latter was run-out looking for a non-existent single.
