Rajasthan Royals’ leadership group were one of the teams that aced the game on the IPL auction table and that has served them well in the two games they have played so far. The perennial underdogs of the previous editions have kickstarted the season with power-packed performances. With two wins from as many matches, Royals captain Sanju Samson seems to have the required artillery, especially in the bowling department, to aim for a few more wins and qualify for the playoffs.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 12 runs in Match 12 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday. Chasing a target of 170 runs, SRH could only reach 157 for nine in 20 overs. Avesh Khan was in dominating bowling form and took four wickets for LSG. Initially, a half-century by KL Rahul helped Lucknow post 169 for seven in 20 overs. Rahul slammed 68 runs off 50 balls and even Deepak Hooda registered a half-century, smashing 51 runs off 33 balls. T Natarajan, Washington Sundar and Romario Shepherd took two wickets each for SRH.
Since his heroics in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Rishabh Pant has become a fan favourite for Indian cricket team fans. But it's not been all plain sailing in the past for the wicketkeeper-batter with critics constantly after him and fans lashing out at him for his inconsistency. He also faced intense competition from Wriddhiman Saha for away Tests, with the latter also starting in the first Test against Australia in December 2020. But ever since his 89-run knock at the Gabba, which handed Australia their first loss at the venue in 32 years, Pant has gone on to become an automatic selection and is also being touted as a future national team skipper.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) head coach Brendon McCullum is happy to have his premier paceman Pat Cummins back in the ranks. Cummins missed the first three matches of the season as he was part of Australia's touring party to Pakistan, where he led the Test team to a 1-0 series victory. Shreyas Iyer has impressed many with his sharp captaincy skills this season and the head coach is impressed too. McCullum feels Cummins' availability will bolster the leadership group.
SYDNEY (Reuters) - England will play tests against Australia at Perth Stadium, Brisbane's Lang Park and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on their July tour this year, Rugby Australia announced on Tuesday.
Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians in their opening match of IPL 2022 but lost to Gujarat Titans in their next game. The Rishabh Pant-led side will be looking to return to winning ways when they face Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday. Delhi Capitals could also welcome back two of their key overseas stars -- Anrich Nortje and David Warner. While Warner was on international duty with the Australian team in Pakistan, Nortje has been nursing an injury but looks primed to make his comeback.
Lucknow Super Giants paid 25 times more than his base price of Rs 20 lakh to get Avesh Khan's services in IPL-15. The move was worth it as his excellent bowling acted as the catalyst for his team's 12-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday. Heading into the lucrative T20 league as the most expensive uncapped Indian player, Avesh picked up four big wickets for only 24 runs and bowled a brilliant 18th over to turn the match decisively in LSG's favour.
