Liam Livingstone has carved out a niche for himself in franchise cricket across the globe. With a staggering strike rate of 158.33 in T20I cricket, the Englishman has the power game to bludgeon bowling attacks. Playing for Birmingham Phoenix, he struck 27 sixes in The Hundred last year, including 10 in one game.
World wakes up to LSG batter who impressed Dravid but was ignored by own state teamNEW DELHI: As Ayush Badoni asserted his presence at the crease and resurrected Lucknow Super Giants' innings by scoring a 41-ball 54 against Gujarat Titans on his IPL debut, the Delhi cricket fraternity sunk in embarrassment. The 22-year-old Badoni has been touted as the next big batting talent from Delhi, after Rishabh Pant, for a long time now. He has decimated bowling attacks in junior cricket since he was 14, made it to India's U-19 team in 2018, played match-winning knocks in the U-19 Asia Cup and then disappeared.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Rajasthan Royals (RR) pacer Prasidh Krishna said that there was good seam and bounce on the MCA stadium pitch in Pune. It was a clinical performance by Rajasthan Royals as they outplayed Sunrisers Hyderabad in all three departments of the game to register a 61-run win here at the MCA stadium. "There was some good bounce and seam. Hitting those hard lengths was helping me. We were speaking outside when Jos got out. He said it was tough to hit off good lengths. Tried to hit those areas. It's usually the captain thinking from the team's perspective, and the bowler thinking about how he's feeling and what he can impact for the team," said Prasidh Krishna in a post-match presentation.
In the trade-off between luck-versus-skill, has the element of luck in winning or losing the toss now become far too important? In the IPL, winning the toss and choosing to bat second, improves the chance of winning by as much as 40%. Of the 364 matches played in the IPL over the last 6 years, the team batting first won only 150 matches, while the team batting second won 214 matches.
Rajasthan Royals as they outplayed Sunrisers Hyderabad in all three departments of the game to register a 61-run win here at the MCA stadium. Rajasthan pacers wreaked havoc on Hyderabad batters as Prasidh Krishna and Trent Boult reduced them to 9 for 3. "It was a very different wicket than what we thought. If you bowled Test match lengths, the wicket was helping fast bowlers," said Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson in the post-match presentation. Sanju Samson led from the front scoring 55 from 27 balls to take his team's total to 210 for 6 in 20 overs. Samson bagged the 'Player of the Match' award for his blistering knock.
Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson on Tuesday said his team will have to improve a bit and execute their plans better in the upcoming matches of the IPL 2022 after starting their campaign with a big, 61-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals here. Williamson said his team started on a good note with pacer Umran Malik hitting the 150kmph mark in the first over itself. But things went downhill for them after that as his bowlers sent a few no-balls and allowed Rajasthan Royals to post a challenging 210/6 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium here. In response, SRH could not tackle the Rajasthan Royals' bowling as the pitch offered a bit of movement and their rivals exploited the conditions well and restricted them to 149/7 in 20 overs.
