"Was 107kg...Never Thought CSK Would Pick Me": Watch Star Sri Lankan Spinner Narrate Inspirational Journey Under MS Dhoni

Among the few positives that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana's rise is a major one. The 22-year-old, playing his maiden IPL season, has so far taken 12 wickets in eight matches. He is only behind Dwayne Bravo (16) and Mukesh Choudhary (13) in terms of number of scalps for the defending champions. However, things never came easy for Theekshana. In a video released by CSK, Theekshana talks on his struggle with weight and how he managed to overcome it.

IPL 2022, Rajasthan Royals Predicted XI vs Delhi Capitals: Yashasvi Jaiswal To Remain In Sanju Samson's Playing XI?

Rajasthan Royals (RR) face Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 58 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday. RR are currently third in the IPL 2022 Points Table with 14 points from 11 games, including seven wins and four defeats. The Sanju Samson-led side won their previous outing against Punjab Kings (PBKS), winning by six wickets. All eyes will be on Jos Buttler, who currently leads the Orange Cap Race with 618 runs in 11 games, including three tons and three half-centuries. Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal leads the Purple Cap Race with 22 wickets in 11 fixtures (with a four-wicket and five-wicket haul). The RR spinner will be key to Samson's plans against Delhi.

IPL 2022, DC vs RR: Delhi Capitals face Buttler test as they take on Rajasthan Royals

Jos Buttler is in possession of the Orange Cap and no one is in close range to pose a threat to his 'highest run-scorer' crown. It was towards the later half of the IPL 2018 that the England batter was given the opener's role, and today he stands tall in the coveted spot. Be it for his national team or Rajasthan Royals, the 31-year-old has delivered the goods to become one of the most complete white-ball cricketers in the last few years. Having piled up 618 runs from 11 games so far, Buttler has now scored the most runs in a single season for the Royals, leaving behind Ajinkya Rahane's 560 in 2012. The kind of form the opener is in, he is a threat to Virat Kohli's record of most centuries and runs in a single season - in 2016 - when he slammed four tons and accumulated massive 973 from 16 games. It would not be surprising if Buttler gets to his fourth century in this edition of IPL.

"Looked A Fish Out Of Water...": Ravi Shastri Underlines Reasons Behind Ravindra Jadeja's Captaincy Failure

Ravindra Jadeja had a forgettable outing as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Under him, the defending champions lost six out of its first eight matches. That poor start led to MS Dhoni again taking over the four-time IPL winners' captaincy mantle. Since Dhoni took over, CSK have won two out of their last three games. However, a playoff spot looks tricky at this point of time.
