IPL 2022: Virat Kohli Hits Rashid Khan For A Six But Spinner Has Last Laugh

During Virat Kohli's match-winning 73 against Gujarat Titans, the Royal Challengers Bangalore star was involved in a riveting contest with Afghan leg-spinner Rashid Khan. While teams have targeted the former India captain with spin, on Thursday, he was in imperious form against the star leggie. Kohli first hit him for a boundary in the fourth over and then brought up his half-century with a six off Rashid in the 10th over. Kohli again hit him for a six off the second delivery of the 17th over. However, the Gujarat Titans star finally got the better off him two balls later.

IPL 2022: Presence of quality spinners helping us climb up the points table, says Rajasthan Royals' skipper Sanju Samson

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."

Lancashire leg-spinner Matt Parkinson bamboozled Warwickshire wicketkeeper-batter Michael Burgess with an absolute ripper in their County Championship Division 1 match that ended on Sunday. In Warwickshire's second innings with the bat, Parkinson got the ball to drift and land outside the right-hander's leg-stump. As the batter came forward to defend, the ball spun back in sharply to go past the willow and hit the top of off-stump. It was a leg-spinner's dream delivery and sent Burgess packing for a four-ball duck.

Kumar Kartikeya picked two wickets as Mumbai Indians dismissed Chennai Super Kings for just 97 in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match on Thursday. It was the 24-year-old left-arm spinner's yet another brilliant show in MI colours in his maiden season. It was not just a validation of Kartikeya's talent but also of his father's belief on his abilities. Hailing from a small town in Uttar Pradesh, taking up cricket professionally was never an easy choice for Kartikeya. But his dad Shyam Math Singh, who is in police force, insisted that his son went for cricket coaching. First, Kartikeya trained in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh and then played in Delhi.
