IPL 2022, RCB vs SRH: Royal Challengers Bangalore look to tame resurgent Sunrisers Hyderabad

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad have found their men this season. At the halfway mark of the IPL’s league phase, both teams have at least two men each who have delivered. For RCB, the man of the moment is Dinesh Karthik. The Mike Hesson-helmed think-tank’s wisdom was questioned when the 36-year-old was picked for Rs 5.50 crore considering his age and the fact that he doesn’t feature much in domestic cricket.

IPL 2022, KKR vs GT: Kolkata Knight Riders have task cut out against Gujarat Titans

Kolkata Knight Riders. The side that was highly spoken of by experts in the early part of the tournament after their rollicking start, is suddenly in a state of free fall, suffering a hat-trick of defeats. They will have to rectify a lot of aspects in order to bring their campaign back on track as they face the high-flying Gujarat Titans at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai in an afternoon match on Saturday. It might sound a bit strange, but the experienced two-time IPL champions will start as underdogs against the new entrants who are sitting pretty on the points table, having lost only one of their six matches. With a number of their key players failing to fire, the main challenge for the KKR management is perhaps to find able replacements, which they sadly lack. Going by present form, they could replace Pat Cummins and Varun Chakravarthy. Both their frontline bowlers have not only failed to provide breakthroughs — picking up just four wickets in seven matches — but have been leaking runs in buckets too.

IPL 2022, DC vs RR: Jos Buttler's third ton of season gives Rajasthan Royals 15-run win over Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals

Jos Buttler has chosen this IPL to scream to the world that he is on top of the pile of best T20 batters in the world. With a straight face and murder in his eyes, Buttler is on the loose, wielding his bat like a sledgehammer to open up bowling attacks across venues in Mumbai. His latest victim was the Delhi Capitals bowling attack as he brought up his third century of the season to help Rajasthan post a daunting 222/2 at the Wankhede stadium on Friday night. Buttler’s knock of 116 off 65 balls must have left a few dizzy heads in the Capitals dugout. It was enough to put the game beyond Capitals’ reach, never mind the dash towards the target through cameos from David Warner (28 off 14), Rishabh Pant (44 off 24), Lalit Yadav (37 off 24) and Rovman Powell (36 off 15).

Pakistan's Shan Masood hits back-to-back double tons for Derbyshire

Pakistan opener Shan Masood on Friday hit a second successive double century in the English county championship to take his aggregate to 608 runs in four innings. The 32-year-old was out for 219, having hit 24 fours and a six as Derbyshire racked up 401 runs in the day to reach 437 for four and lead by 224 in their game against Leicestershire. Masood's magnificent innings followed his 239 in last week's draw against Sussex.

IPL 2022: It was a full toss and the umpire stuck to his decision, says Rajasthan Royals' skipper Sanju Samson on no-ball controversy

Rajasthan Royals' (RR) Skipper Sanju Samson said that the umpire's refusal to check a no-ball in the final over of their thrilling match against Delhi Capitals (DC) was very clear and he stuck to his decision. Jos Buttler's 116-run knock and Prasidh Krishna's three-wicket haul (3 for 22) helped Rajasthan (222 for 2) beat Delhi (207 for 8) by 15 runs in a high-scoring match at the Wankhede Stadium. With 36 runs needed in the last six balls, DC batter Rovman Powell hit sixes off the first two balls of the over bowled by left-arm pacer Obed McCoy. On the third ball, he again hit a full toss for a maximum and that delivery, according to Delhi Capitals' captain Rishabh Pant and their team management, should have been called a no-ball.
