Lucknow Super Giants skipper K L Rahul wants his top-order batters to up their game following their second consecutive loss in the Indian Premier League. The 24-run loss to Rajasthan Royals on Sunday was LSG's first back-to-back defeat in the competition, denting their chances of finishing in the top-two.
Rajasthan Royals' (RR) skipper Sanju Samson has maintained that in a high-pressure tournament such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), it is not always easy to maintain a "chilled and nice" atmosphere inside the dressing room, adding that the presence of quality spinners in the side was helping the team's campaign. Former champions Rajasthan Royals defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 24 runs at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday night to climb to second position with 16 points, and the team now has to ensure they don't lose too badly in their last league assignment in order to secure a playoffs berth. Speaking about the emphatic win, built around Yashasvi Jaiswal's quickfire 41, and his and Devdutt Padikkal's fine middle-order show, the skipper said, "This win was satisfying. The atmosphere is chilled and nice, it's not easy to maintain it when there are losses and we have done it well. Batting first suits our approach well. We want to bat positively and the bowling unit is good as well."

Punjab Kings' captain Mayank Agarwal hailed bowler Arshdeep Singh as the leader in the team, after his side's 54-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Friday. With a brilliant economy rate of 6.80 in his four-over spell of 1/27, Arshdeep played a key role in Punjab's comprehensive win at the Brabourne Stadium here. After the match, while talking about Arshdeep, skipper Agarwal said: "Very, very energetic person. Very confident guy, enjoys his cricket. Must say he's the leader in the team. He rallies around everyone, takes up the responsibility, even goes up and speaks to the bowlers sometimes."
Virat Kohli is doing at the moment while trying to figure out how he is getting dismissed in every possible manner during this Indian Premier League, said Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis on Friday. RCB lost to Punjab Kings by 54 runs and Kohli was again out for 20 as he now has only one half-century in 13 games. "He (Kohli) is seeing the lighter side of it. Every single way that you can possibly get out is happening to him. That's how the game works," Du Plessis said after the match.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) might have endured an emphatic loss against Mumbai Indians (MI) in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 fixture on Thursday, but that didn't let his spirits down as he took time out to sign jerseys of support staff and players from either side after the match. Pictures surfaced online which showed Dhoni singing the jerseys of both CSK as well as MI teams with a huge smile on his face. The recipients also seemed quite ecstatic with the former Indian captain handing over the signed shirts.
