IPL 2022: Rishabh Pant handed hefty fine for slow over rate against Lucknow Super Giants

Quinton de Kock showed imperious form in his 80 off 52 balls as Lucknow Super Giants outplayed Delhi Capitals by six wickets for their third successive win in their debut IPL season here on Thursday.

Delhi Capitals lost their way after a sizzling knock from Prithvi Shaw (61 off 31) to end at 149 for 3 after Lucknow predictably decided to field first.

With the resources that Lucknow possess, 150 should have been a comfortable chase and the K L Rahul-led side made sure it was, getting home with two balls to spare on a tricky surface.

De Kock was at his destructive best as he shared a 73-run stand with his opening partner Rahul (24 off 25). The South African wicketkeeper-batter was particularly harsh on compatriot Anrich Nortje who was playing his first game since November.

The fit again pacer, playing his first IPL game in India, was smashed for three fours and a six by de Kock in an over leaking 19 runs. In what turned out to be a forgettable night for Nortje, the South African pacer had to be taken off the attack later after bowling two waist-high no balls.

After Rahul's fall, his team needed 76 off the last 10 overs. De Kock, who collected nine fours and two sixes, put the team on the cusp of victory with his second 50-plus score of the tournament.

With the pitch not the easiest one to bat on, Lucknow struggled to finish the game with even the in-form Deepak Hooda and experienced Krunal Pandya not finding the big hits. Lucknow eventually managed to get the job done with the young Ayush Badoni hitting the decisive four and a six off Shardul Thakur in the final over.

Earlier, Shaw's knock was all class before Lucknow bounced back in the game with an impressive bowling performance.

Young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi (2/22) was the standout performer for the new IPL entrants.

David Warner (4 off 12), returning to the franchise where he made his IPL debut back in 2009, struggled in his first innings of the season.

Off-spinner K Gowtham (1/23) was given the ball in the second over and Shaw did not let him settle, dispatching a full ball over cover for his first four of the innings.

Jason Holder was at the receiving end in the following over when Shaw pulled him for a six over mid-wicket. Then came the turn of pacer Avesh Khan who was hammered for three consecutive fours in the fourth over.

It seemed Shaw was batting on a different surface while the others struggled around him.

He used his quick hands to cut the ball and was equally quick to drive anything full over cover. It was a promising powerplay for Capitals who reached 52 for no loss in six overs.

However, Lucknow fought back after the powerplay with wickets of Shaw, Warner and Rovman Powell (3 off 10) in a space of 18 balls. Shaw was caught behind off Gowtham after he hit him for a straight six.

Warner fell to a poor shot off Bishnoi and Powell saw his stumps disturbed as he went for the slog-sweep off a googly from the young leg-spinner, leaving Capitals at 74 for three in the 11th over.

The onus was on skipper Rishabh Pant (39 not out off 36) to take the team to a respectable total and he did that in the company of Sarfaraz Khan (36 not out off 28) who was playing his debut game for the franchise.

Pant mainly targeted the straight boundaries and Sarfaraz, without taking much risks, showed skills that has fetched him a bagful of runs in domestic cricket.

Former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith said on Friday that he believes Rishabh Pant has the potential to become a superstar in the world of cricket and made it clear that even though there are a number of wicketkeeper batsmen performing well in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and on the domestic circuit, he does not believe that there is any threat to Pant’s place in the Indian cricket team.<o:p></o:p>

"I can't see Rishabh Pant missing out, despite the likes of Samson, DK and Kishan doing well. Ultimately, it will come down to combinations. Who gets picked will depend on the conditions and who they are coming up against... Pant has to be there. You can't leave out Pant. He is going to play all formats for India for a very long time. He's going to be a superstar," Smith told Cricket.com.

"Rishabh has got starts in every game, but everyone needs to be patient. The strike rate hasn't quite happened yet, but everyone needs to be patient. Today, DC needed to rebuild after losing a couple of wickets, but the strong finish never came." Smith pointed out that they needed to get to a total of 170-180.

Also read | IPL 2022: Rishabh Pant handed hefty fine for slow over rate against LSG The South Africa legend also praised Pant for his leadership skills as the skipper of Delhi Capitals but added that his batting can used even more by the teams if he is promoted up the order. "Rishabh has got starts in every game, but everyone needs to be patient. The strike rate hasn't quite happened yet, but everyone needs to be patient. Today, DC needed to rebuild after losing a couple of wickets, but the strong finish never came." Smith pointed out that they needed to get to a total of 170-180.

Get him up to No. 3 and take the pressure off him and give him more time. Maybe this way, he’ll be able to set the tone and not think too much. "

'He's going to be a superstar': Former South Africa skipper makes huge claim about India youngster

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ravindra Jadeja is set to achieve a major Indian Premier League (IPL) milestone -- play his 150th game in the lucrative tournament for the franchise -- when his side takes on SunRisers Hyderabad at the DY Patil Stadium here on Saturday. 
 
Only two CSK cricketers -- former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (217 matches) and Suresh Raina (200 matches) -- have accomplished the feat for the four-time IPL champions. 
 
Jadeja's stint with CSK started in 2012 and the all-rounder has grown from a talented player to a senior statesman during his decade-long stay.

Jadeja is the third-highest wicket-taker for CSK, having scalped 110 wickets in 149 matches. With the willow, the left-handed batter has amassed 1,523 runs for the Chennai team. 
 
He has played several glittering knocks from the time he announced his arrival in 2012, scoring a rollicking 48 off 29 balls in just his second match for CSK, against Deccan Chargers. That cameo helped Chennai win by 74 runs. 
 
Fast forward nine years to 2021, and CSK still look to Jadeja to come up with a special performance that will guide the team to victory.

Last year Jadeja blasted a 28-ball unbeaten 62 against the Royal Challengers Bangalore which helped the 'Men in Yellow'&nbsp;win by 69 runs. In that match, Jadeja took Harshal Patel for 36 runs in a single over. 
 
Jadeja's journey with the Super Kings took another significant step ahead of the IPL 2022 season when Dhoni handed over the captaincy to him.

Ahead of the landmark match, Jadeja said, "CSK is everything. It's a family. CSK is like my home now. I've been a part of the team for 10 years. I don't see myself playing for some other team from now."

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo will return for their Premier League clash with Everton after overcoming illness but defender Luke Shaw will be unavailable for up to three weeks, interim manager Ralf Rangnick said on Friday.

Ronaldo, United's top goalscorer this season with 12 league goals, will be back after missing their 1-1 draw with Leicester City last weekend while Shaw is set for a spell out due to follow-up treatment for a broken leg sustained in 2015.

"Cristiano is back again," Rangnick told reporters ahead of Saturday's game.

"Luke is still injured, we had to take him off at halftime (against Leicester), he's had his problems with his leg where he had the operation in 2015.

"The doctor told me they decided to remove two metal bolts in his leg and this will happen tomorrow and he will be out for the next two or three weeks.

"Edinson Cavani is still injured, Raphael Varane is injured and will miss out again tomorrow and the same is true for Scott McTominay, he's having problems with the sole of his foot."

Rangnick, whose side are seventh with 51 points from 30 games, said their mentality, attitude and physicality would play a crucial role against Everton who are a point and a place above the relegation zone.

"These factors will decide the game," Rangnick said. "We're aware of the importance of the game for both sides."

Rangnick's tenure is set to end after this season, with Ajax Amsterdam boss Erik ten Hag a candidate to take over, but the interim boss was not drawn into talk about his successor.

"I don't intend to speak about any possible new managers," Rangnick said.

"From what I know, all the managers with whom the club have so far spoken are top managers, top coaches.

"If this includes Erik ten Hag, then it's also true with him. That's all I can say at this stage."

Former Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra was all praise for Lucknow Super Giants’ tactic against Delhi Capitals as they pulled off a last-over victory on Thursday. Chopra hailed team mentor Gautam Gambhir and compared his brain to that of fictional cartoon character ‘Chacha Choudhary’.<o:p></o:p>

"Gautam Gambhir's brain is like Chacha Chaudhary, it runs very fast. He sends Krunal Pandya up the order at times and Badoni at other times, sometimes Hooda and here he dropped Pandey Ji (Manish Pandey). We had discussed this, that you should drop Pandey Ji and make your bowling stronger, play Krishnappa Gowtham because the opposing team has a lot of lefties," Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

IPL 2022: Former India opener heaps praises on Gautam Gambhir after LSG defeat DC

Barcelona were shaken up by Eintracht Frankfurt but took a first step in their bid to reach the Europa League last four as a second-half goal by Ferran Torres salvaged a 1-1 comeback away draw in their quarter-final first leg on Thursday.

Torres cancelled out Ansgar Knauff's first-half opener in a lively clash at the Waldstadion, which the hosts finished with 10 men having put the competition favourites on the back foot.

In the other last eight ties, West Ham United battled to a 1-1 home draw versus Olympique Lyonnais despite having Aaron Creswell sent off on the stroke of halftime.

Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring in the 52nd minute after a Jerome Boateng blunder, only for Tanguy Ndombele to level for the visitors after 66 minutes, tapping in from close range after Tete's strike was parried into his path by Alphonse Areola.

Rangers lost 1-0 at Braga, with the Portuguese side being rewarded for their domination five minutes before the break when Abel Ruiz found the net with a powerful shot.

In the early game, Atalanta and RB Leipzig drew 1-1 at the Red Bull Arena. 
Luis Muriel put the visitors ahead after 17 minutes with a fine curled shot, with both sides hitting the woodwork in the opening half.

Leipzig, who missed a penalty through Andre Silva just before the hour mark, levelled in the 59th when Davide Zappacosta deflected Angelino's cross into his own net.

EARLY PRESSURE

In Frankfurt, the hosts soaked up the pressure early on, hoping to hit Barca on the break, but were in danger after three minutes when Kevin Trapp tipped Torres's shot over the bar.

Trapp was at it again to deny Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but the game was to swing the German side's way.

Sergio Busquets appeared to bring down Rafael Santos Borre in the area before the break but referee Srdjan Jovanovic overturned his initial penalty call out after a VAR review.

Eintracht kept going, though, and were rewarded three minutes into the second half when Knauff found the back of the net with a floating shot from outside the box after a poor clearance by the Barca defence.

Oliver Glasner's team continued to play with a low block and were punished in the 66th minute as Torres beat Trapp with a low shot after a one-two with Frenkie De Jong, who had just come on.

Eintracht's hopes of a late winner were dashed in the 78th when Tuta got a second yellow card for a rough challenge on Pedri Gonzalez, leaving his team to finish the game a man short.

Punjab Kings opener Shikhar Dhawan is on the verge of two impressive milestones in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and he will take the chance to add both of them to his kitty during the encounter against Gujarat Titans on Friday.<o:p></o:p>

Dhawan is just three boundaries away from completing 1000 fours in T20 cricket – a feat not achieved by any Indian cricketer in the shortest format of the sport. Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Virat Kohli is a distant second in the list with 917 boundaries.

Dhawan already has the highest number of boundaries in IPL history with 664 fours to his name.<o:p></o:p>

Overall, he is fifth in the elite list and just two boundaries away from taking away the fourth spot from Aaron Finch. The list is topped by West Indies opener Chris Gayle (1132), England international Alex Hales (1054) and Australia and Delhi Capitals batsman David Warner with 1054 boundaries.

Dhawan had a couple of good seasons with Delhi Capitals but they parted ways ahead of the 2022 seasons. In the mega auction, he was picked up by Punjab Kings for INR 82.5 million. He has been a constant at the top of the innings for the franchise along with skipper Mayank Agarwal.<o:p></o:p>
