The 20th match of the 2022 Indian Premier League concluded with the Rajasthan Royals coming out on top by three runs against the Lucknow Super Giants in a thriller. Put into bat by the tournament newcomers, Royals were off to a decent start with Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal adding 42 for the first wicket. However, wickets fell quick, and they were reduced to 64-3 in nine overs with all of Buttler, Padikkal, Sanju Samson and Rassie van der Dussen back in the pavilion.

Five-time Indian Premier League champions Mumbai Indians’ baffling start to this season continued. Rohit Sharma’s side suffered fourth straight defeat, this time to the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who had an excellent game in almost all departments. Mumbai’s problems were further compounded with their batting order not firing on all cylinders just as yet, as well as their bowling, which was thoroughly underwhelming. The team had to rely on the dependable Suryakumar Yadav to rescue them and get them to a total of 151, but that was not going to be enough, with the bowling attack unable to pick up wickets. RCB left-handed opener Anuj…

The Sunrisers Hyderabad registered their first points of IPL 2022 with a comprehensive win over the defending champions Chennai Super Kings, who lost their fourth game on the trot, including their eight-wicket trouncing by SRH. It was an overall failure for Ravindra Jadeja’s men as they were miserable in all departments, a serious issue that needs to be addressed by the Yellow Army. The batting from the four-time champions was disappointing, to say the least, while the bowling was hapless, as Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi made short work of the modest target.

The 16th game of IPL 2022 produced what was perhaps the game of the season so far, as Gujarat Titans pulled off a stunning victory against Punjab Kings. The dynamic Rahul Tewatia struck two sixes off the final two deliveries to ensure a fantastic victory for GT. Shubman Gill followed up his innings in the last game with yet another brilliant showing, scoring 96 in 59 deliveries to get his side very close to the finish line. Punjab were also quite good with the bat, but they will rue the fact that they lost far too many wickets while they were on top, which is…

KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants wrapped up a comfortable victory against the Delhi Capitals after restricting Rishabh Pant’s side to under 150 despite an excellent start from opener Prithvi Shaw, who scored a wonderful half-century in the powerplay. The Capitals did end up putting in a fighting performance with the ball, but Krunal Pandya and Ayush Badoni in the end struck boundaries at crucial junctures to give the Super Giants their third victory of the campaign after their defeat in their first game against the Gujarat Titans. Quinton de Kock was the star of the show with the bat, scoring a brilliant 80 to guide his side to victory…

Australian Test skipper Pat Cummins announced his arrival tremendously in IPL 2022, starring with ball, and especially with bat in hand, as he produced a remarkable high-impact knock to give the Kolkata Knight Riders an excellent win over the record title-holders Mumbai Indians, who have lost their third consecutive game of the season. Both sides struggled with the bat initially, as Mumbai posted 161 runs on the board after a horrific start. Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav played excellent knocks before the veteran Kieron Pollard played a fine cameo towards the end. But all their efforts were for nought, as Cummins came in at a crucial juncture for…

RCB pulled off a miraculous victory in their third game of the 2022 Indian Premier League, as they handed table-toppers RR their maiden defeat in the league this season. Dinesh Karthik was brilliant yet again and proved his worth with an unbeaten 23-ball 44 in a situation where the match seemed to be out of RCB’s reach. His innings turned out to be the difference between the two sides in the end, as the Bengaluru franchise wrapped up a four-wicket victory with five balls to spare. Rajasthan initially rode on Jos Buttler’s brilliance, with the Englishman amongst the runs yet again, scoring…

Indian Premier League newbies Lucknow Super Giants continued their winning form after clinching a roller-coaster encounter against 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad, who slumped to a second straight defeat. LSG skipper KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda did superbly with the bat after an initial collapse of sorts, while Avesh Khan and Krunal Pandya delivered two excellent spells to seal a hard-fought victory for the newbie franchise. The Sunrisers, who were also looking destined for victory at various points during the match, could not really capitalise on the openings they got against the Super Giants, eventually losing the fixture by a margin of just 12 runs.  Переглянути цей допис в Instagram Допис,…

Defending champions Chennai Super Kings’ nightmarish start to this season of the Indian Premier League continued as the Punjab Kings were back to winning ways, taking home the contest by a massive margin of 54 runs. Liam Livingstone was outstanding with both bat and ball, as his all-round effort sealed a clinical win for PBKS, who are looking to make a strong case for their maiden title this time around, with two wins in their first three games. Punjab’s batting order, which had failed them in their previous game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, delivered a commendable performance on Sunday, with a…

Jos Buttler, who averaged 75 against MI prior to this IPL 2022 game, lived up to the expectations and scored a magnificent century, to take his side to an excellent total in the first innings, which their bowling attack defended after a brief scare in the middle overs. The five-time Indian Premier League champions took on RR in the first game of Saturday’s double-header in at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Mumbai, who lost their second consecutive game, were without Suryakumar Yadav, who is yet to recover from a hairline fracture, with Anmolpreet Singh continuing to take his place at…
