IPL 2022, PBKS vs RCB Highlights: Punjab Kings (PBKS) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by five wickets in their first match of the season.

Follow Highlights of the MI vs CSK Match Today at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. Both the units have new captains at the helm, but Virat Kohli will certainly be in the spotlight. In the previous five matches, Punjab have emerged victorious on 5 occasions, while RCB have won twice. This season, we might actually see the Kohli of 2016 where he got almost 1000 runs in the IPL season." Sandeep Sharma starts with a dot and follows it up with a slow ball, pitch slightly short, enough for Faf to flick it over the 30-yard circle. Du Plessis plays the ball straight to Shahrukh Khan at mid-wicket, who fails to get hold off the ball as it hits his hands and bounces on the ground. The openers have added 41 runs as Odean Smith concedes 10 runs in his second over. Meanwhile, Kohli, who has got the best seat in the house celebrates it with a fist-pump on the air. Dhawan joins the action and hits David Willey for two fours after he was hit for a six by Mayank. Meanwhile, there was a stumping opportunity too but the extra bounce made it difficult for Dinesh Karthik to hold it clean, as it hits his gloves and the helmet before bouncing on the ground. Bhanuka Rajapaksa does the most damage, hits the bowler for a six and four, while Dhawan also smoked one in the first ball of the over. Harshal had got 19 wickets at the death last season and he was on the brink of adding one more! The pressure of the situation is surely getting to Smith, who had already committed himself for a single.

Lalit Yadav smashed 48 not out off 38 balls down the order as Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians by four wickets in their IPL 2022 opener at Brabourne.

Rohit, the most successful IPL captain in terms of trophies, has suffered defeats in every opener while leading the Mumbai outfit. Prithvi Shaw notched up 38 off 24 deliveries in his attempt to keep Delhi alive in the run-chase but the side eventually slumped to 104 for six following his exit. Delhi Capitals pair of Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel eclipsed Ishan Kishan's batting show to defeat five-time champions Mumbai Indians by four wickets in their IPL 2022 opener at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Early blows in the powerplay left the Delhi outfit tottering at 32 for three.

Cricket can be cruel at times. Given that Smith and Shahrukh Khan were Punjab Kings' last big-hitting pair, the former's wicket in the 17th over probably would ...

A new acquisition for Punjab, Chahar cleaned up Rawat in his first over, the ball dipping and skidding off the pitch. With the second wrist-spinner’s slot still vacant in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year, this IPL is the testing ground for the aspirants. The classy duo never looked back, du Plessis steadily upping the ante and his partner playing around him. Kohli, the leading man in the partnership until then, readily decided to play second fiddle. Without the 118-run (61 balls) second-wicket partnership between the two, Karthik wouldn’t have had the platform for his merry hitting at the death. The big outfield at DY Patil Stadium allowed the batsmen to run twos and Kohli pushed his partner to convert a lot of singles into braces. After seven overs, RCB were 50/1. The South African had had a reprieve on seven, Shahrukh dropping him at mid-wicket off Smith. He was struggling to find the boundaries, while Rahul Chahar was getting into the groove. Somewhere in between, it puts Virat Kohli’s numbers – 41 not out off 29 deliveries, with a four and a couple of sixes. From a gung-ho 71-run opening partnership between Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan to Rajapaksa’s middle-overs pyrotechnics and cool finishing from Shahrukh and Smith, Punjab’s resolve shone through, which trumped a classy RCB partnership between Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. Punjab won by five wickets with six balls remaining. Livingstone, for whom Punjab had broken the bank at the auction, was still at the crease, as was Shahrukh. But Punjab were up against scoreboard pressure. Given that Smith and Shahrukh Khan were Punjab Kings’ last big-hitting pair, the former’s wicket in the 17th over probably would have sealed the deal for Royal Challengers Bangalore. They lost the game instead, failing to defend 205. Smith went on to score a match-winning 25 not out off eight balls.

Shoaib Akhtar reacted to MS Dhoni quitting Chennai Super Kings captaincy. · Dhoni handed over the baton to Ravindra Jadeja on Thursday.

But Dhoni is one of the minds in cricket that you can always count on,” he added. He is still the best player in the IPL. I think he must have been mentally tired. Akhtar also reckoned that Jadeja is a good choice to lead the Super Kings in the cash-rich league.

Former Australian player Shane Watson named three IPL teams that will find great success this year in the IPL 2022 season.

“Here are my predictions for a few of the best teams that I think are going to perform very well during this IPL. No.1 I am here with Delhi Capitals and they bought incredibly well during the auction. “Dinesh Karthik they bought, but for me the couple of overseas players they have bought very very well. Apart from naming Delhi Capitals, Watson named two other teams for whom he represented in the IPL.

Khan muscles it past the bowler and to long off for a boundary. The equation pretty much in control now for Punjab. Harshal Patel to bowl the penultimate over of the match. Smith rides the bounce and tonks it well over long off for a maximum. Liam Livingstone hit a couple of big sixes and then at the death, Shahrukh Khan just stayed at the crease and allowed Odean Smith to pummel the bowlers and seal the win. Khan waits,waits and waits as he thumps it over long off for a biggie. Mayank fell but then came in a surprise package in the form of Bhanuka Rajapaksa who took the game by the scruff of the neck and didn't allow the opposition bowlers to settle. Tells every game is a batter's game but their bowlers did well to keep them near 200 but in the middle-overs, they gave away around 130 runs and he is sure, the bowlers will do better. Adds Punjab had a good Powerplay and the ball skidded in the middle phase. He adds that it was a good wicket overall and eased out as the game went on and they took a few risks that came off. Shades of David Miller's heroics against Bangalore in 2013 but this time it has been a team effort from Punjab. They have truly deserved the win and after having all the depth in the bowling department, it's the same old story for Bangalore, they just can't defend scores. What a remarkable chase this has been from Punjab and they have chased down a score of 200 plus with an over to spare! Adds he did not have the best time with the ball but he did well to get his team home with the bat.

But the BCCI and other Boards can come to an understanding to ensure the seamless conduct of IPL and international cricket, an arrangement that can benefit everyone. If the IPL ceases to exist today, it will have a major impact on the earnings of several players from India, England and Australia, but their respective cricket boards are rich enough to secure their employees’ financial futures. Further, it is worth remembering that these players didn’t defy their board, they were given NOCs by Cricket South Africa to take part in the IPL. New Zealand have managed it the best but Australia and South Africa haven’t been too hostile either despite a few murmurs, largely to play to the gallery. Unlike people who hold white-collar jobs, even the most successful sportsperson’s career is a lot shorter and if they have avenues to make extra money through legal means, why deny them that opportunity? Coming back to the South Africans, too much is being made of the players “choosing” club over country. As fate would have it, Covid struck the Indian camp and the fifth Test in Manchester had to be postponed. After all, out of the 18 players England used in their 4-1 hammering by Australia, only four - Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Dawid Malan - were part of the last IPL. Pertinently, all of them pulled out of the second leg held in the UAE in September-October. This is not limited to South Africa. From West Indies to Australia and from India to New Zealand, cricketers are painted as greedy lot who are ready to sacrifice the interests of their country to earn quick megabucks. It’s worth recalling the duplicity of some former England players insofar as talk about preserving the primacy of Test cricket is concerned. Immediately after their Ashes humiliation at the start of the year, many former England players and a few English Board officials apportioned blame on the IPL. The argument, however, flew in the face of the detractors. Not even one year since its inception in 2008 has the Indian Premier League gone without its share of motivated criticism and complaints born more out of envy than genuine reasoning.

They also have a poor record at the Wankhede. In 11 games so far at the venue, KKR have managed to notch up just one win. He scored 357 runs from 15 innings for CSK in the IPL last year, and also plucked six wickets from 15 games with his off-spin. CSK opener Ruturaj Gaikwad took home the Orange Cap as he scored 635 runs in 16 games last season. Both players were retained by KKR along with Varun Chakravarthy and Venkatesh Iyer. KKR now also have to experienced faces – Ajinkya Rahane and Umesh Yadav. Jadeja is the third player after Dhoni and former CSK batter Suresh Raina to lead the Yellow Unit. Rayudu hits his 150th six in the IPL and shows a glimpse of his glorious timing. Rayudu was too eager for a single but Shreyas picked it up quickly and threw it to Narine, who did the rest. Chakaravarthy has dismissed Dhoni thrice so far in the IPL in a space of 12 deliveries. 131 for five isn't a hefty total but the ball is gripping and Chennai will eye early wickets to put some pressure on the opposition. What a start to the IPL 2022! With the win, Kolkata also improve their head-to-head stats and dismal win record at the Wankhede.

Kohli returned to his familiar position at the top of the order for RCB last season for the first time since his phenomenal 2016 | Cricket.

Kohli returned to his familiar position at the top of the order for RCB last season for the first time since his phenomenal 2016. “It is because then he will be under the pressure to score boundaries in the powerplay if he opens and that will make him vulnerable to dismissal and if Kohli gets out early in the innings, it naturally boosts the confidence of the opposition team. Speaking to Cricbuzz on Kohli's batting position in RCB, Sehwag admitted that he sees no top-level player to open the innings alongside new captain Faf du Plessis and hence Kohli is a popular choice for the position. Like when Sachin Tendulkar used to come and bat for India. If he used to get out in the powerplay then the opposition team would get on top. But I'm a big fan if Kohli plays at No.3,” he said. - Kohli returned to his familiar position at the top of the order for RCB last season for the first time since his phenomenal 2016
