Rishabh Pant's on-field decisions as Delhi Capitals captain in the ongoing IPL might have come under the scanner of former players but the wicketkeeper has got the "full backing" of head coach Ricky Ponting, who says "it's easy to make judgment from outside". Under Pant, DC have won just five of the 11 matches they have played so far, including the 91-run thrashing at the hands of Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.
On Sunday, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni became only the second cricketer after Virat Kohli to score 6,000 runs as captain in T20s. The 40-year-old reached the landmark as CSK defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 55 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Coming in to bat at No.4, Dhoni smacked an unbeaten knock of 21 runs off eight balls (including a four and two sixes) as CSK posted 208 for six in 20 overs, setting a target of 209 runs.
Experienced batter Cheteshwar Pujara, who was left out of India's last Test series against Sri Lanka, has been in terrific form in the ongoing County Championship. In four matches, he has crossed the 100-run mark four times, including two double-centuries and an unbeaten 170. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif took to Twitter to praise the batter's form and said he has taken the right approach after being dropped from the national team. "What do great players do when out of India team? Knock the selectors' doors with 100s and 200s like Pujara," Kaif tweeted on Sunday.
Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma can tweak the combination of the team and replace Kumar Kartikeya with Arjun Tendulkar for their game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday. In the last two games where MI secured wins, Kumar didn't get an opportunity with the bat and went for plenty runs with the ball. This could prompt Rohit to bring in the services of Arjun considering his skills as a bowling all-rounder. MI are currently at the bottom of the IPL Points Table with two wins from 10 games.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 56 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. KKR are currently eighth in the IPL 2022 Points Table with eight points from 11 games, including four wins and seven defeats. Meanwhile, MI are bottom of the standings with four points from 10 fixtures (two wins and eight losses).
Even as Royal Challengers Bangalore recorded a crucial victory against SunRisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022, Virat Kohli's struggles with the bat continued. Kohli fell for his third golden duck of the season, taking his career tally in the IPL to six. RCB, however, did well to recover from the early blow and went on to score 192 for three, with captain Faf du Plessis hitting an unbeaten half-century. He was aided well by knocks from Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik.
Umran Malik lit the IPL 2022 season up with his raw pace, but his form has dipped and he has been hit for plenty as SunRisers Hyderabad have found themselves on a four-match losing streak. Before their defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday, Malik had conceded 100 runs for no wickets in his last two outings. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri issued a stern warning for the young pacer and said that his pace would be of little help in the shortest format if he does not use it well.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 91 runs in Match 55 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Chasing a target of 209 runs, DC were bowled out for 117 in 17.4 overs with Moeen Ali taking three wickets in his four overs. Meanwhile, Mukesh Choudhary and Dwayne Bravo bagged two wickets each. Initially, Chennai posted 208 for six in 20 overs with Devon Conway hammering 87 runs off 49 balls.
