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.

IPL 2022: Varun Chakravarthy working on a new variation to overcome his lean patch for KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) leg-spinner Varun Chakravarthy is hoping to add a "new dimension" to his game once his new variation starts "clicking" in IPL 2022, and he is banking on the delivery to put him back on top on the wicket-takers' list soon. If things go according to plan, the 30-year-old mystery spinner would have added an eighth variation to his repertoire.
