Riding on Mitchell Marsh's all-round heroics, Delhi Capitals got their act together in the nick of time to upstage Rajasthan Royals by eight wickets and keep their IPL playoffs hopes alive here on Wednesday.

After their bowlers restricted RR to 160 for six, Marsh's 62-ball 89 and David Warner's unbeaten 52 off 41 balls helped the Capitals complete the task with 11 balls to spare for their sixth win of the season that saw the team suffer setbacks both on and off the field, including multiple COVID-19 cases in its camp.

With the ball, Marsh had picked up the two important wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal (19) and Ravichandran Ashwin (50). Then, he smashed seven sixes and five fours to emerge as the night's hero.

DC lost Srikar Bharat in only the second ball of their innings to Trent Boult, who conceded just one run in the first over. That was followed by a maiden over by Prasidh Krishna and then the Kiwi speedster bowled another economical over as DC struggled to force the pace early on, reaching five for one in three overs.

The introduction of Ashwin saw Marsh launching the off-spinner over long-off for a six. Marsh did the same to Prasidh, hitting him for a maximum over fine-leg to give the much-needed impetus to the DC innings.

There was more to come from the willow of Marsh as he smashed Kuldeep Sen for two sixes and a similar treatment was given to Ashwin as the ball, despite Jos Buttler's effort in the deep, sailed over long-on for a maximum, bringing up the Australian all-rounder's fifty.

By the time the 143-run stand was broken by Yuzvendra Chahal with the wicket of Marsh, the match was almost in DC's bag. Earlier, striking at better than most of the top batters, premier off-spinner Ashwin recorded his first half-century in T20 cricket. Ashwin made a 38-ball 50, while Devdutt Padikkal struck 48 in 30 deliveries after RR were asked to bat first.

The Capitals were off to fine start as left-arm pacer Chetan Sakariya (2/23), playing the must-win game in place of Khaleel Ahmed, dismissed RR's top batter Jos Buttler (7) cheaply in the third over. Looking to play it over the infield, Buttler hit a fairly full-length delivery straight to Shardul Thakur.

With Buttler gone early, DC were on top and looked to assert their dominance at the DY Patel Sports Complex. They gave very little away and kept RR to 43 for one in the six power play overs. This was after DC skipper Rishabh Pant decided against a review despite a strong appeal by Sakariya for a caught behind in the first over. Replays confirmed that Pant was right in not opting for a review.

Coming off his blazing half-century in the previous game, Yashasvi Jaiswal produced a lovely on-drive off Anrich Nortje (2/39) and then smashed the South African pacer for a six over third man. Jaiswal (19) impressed again, but not for long as Mitchell Marsh (2/25) cramped him up for room with a bouncer, paving the way for the left-handed Devdutt Padikkal to join Ashwin in the middle.

Looking confident after having hitting a few boundaries, including two maximums and a ramp shot over keeper Pant, Ashwin went along nicely and brought up his half-century in 38 balls. However, the premier off-spinner got out soon after reaching the landmark with Marsh coming back into the attack to give DC the breakthrough.

Meanwhile, Padikkal smashed Axar Patel for two sixes -- one over deep backyard point and another over long-on -- as RR looked to force the pace. Padikkal then scored two successive fours off Marsh, even as Nortje had RR skipper Sanju Samson (6) caught by Shardul Thakur at mid-wicket.

As the DC players rejoiced, Kuldeep Yadav was seen walking off the ground holding his left shoulder, having hurt himself while going for a catch in the previous over.

Riyan Parag hit Nortje for a massive six before Sakariya cut short his brief stay in the middle, and Padikkal too followed suit, thanks to brilliant catch running by substitute fielder Kamlesh Nagarkoti.

IPL 2022: Mitchell Marsh's all-round heroics power Delhi Capitals to crucial 8-wicket win over RR

RCB's collapse to LSG's surrender: Lowest team totals in IPL 2022 so far

In what comes as a huge blow for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. CSK on Wednesday (May 11) announced Jadeja will miss CSK's remaining three games in the season due to an injury.

The former CSK captain had injured himself&nbsp;while fielding during his side's clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and missed their last game against Delhi Capitals (DC) due to a rib&nbsp;injury. CSK will now miss the all-rounder's services at a crucial juncture in the tournament as they are still alive in the race for the playoffs this season.

Though Jadeja had not enjoyed the best of form for CSK this season, his absence is likely to hurt CSK a lot as he was a key member of the squad who could contribute well with both bat and the ball. Jadeja had started the season as CSK's captain but decided to step down from his post midway through the tournament.

He had taken over from MS Dhoni as the new captain just a couple of days ahead of the start of the tournament. However, Jadeja quit captaincy after CSK got off to a horrific start losing six out of their first eight matches. He handed back the reins to Dhoni, who has since led the defending champions to two wins in three games.

CSK have so far managed only four wins in eleven games this season but have an outside chance of making it to the playoffs if they can win their remaining three matches in a row. However, CSK's fate also lies in the hands of the other teams and they would hope for some favour from others.

Jadeja had scored 116 runs and taken 5 wickets for the four-time champions in ten matches this season. It remains to be seen how Dhoni &amp; Co. will cope with his absence in their remaining matches in IPL 2022.

Brendon McCullum has reportedly informed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) that he will be stepping down as the head coach of the franchise following the conclusion of the ongoing season. McCullum has emerged as one of the favourites to take over as the new head coach of the England Test team.

As per BBC and reports in the British media, McCullum is likely to replace Chris Silverwood as the new Test coach of England and an official announcement is expected this week. Silverwood was fired by England earlier this year after their humiliating 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Australia in the Ashes 2021-22.

As per a report in the Indian Express, McCullum recently informed about his plans during a team meeting and revealed he will be taking over as coach of the England national team.&nbsp;

“He informed us that he won’t be part of KKR going ahead as he will be taking up a job as England cricket team coach. He informed us during a team meeting a few days ago,” a KKR insider was quoted as saying by Indian Express.

McCullum, who retired from cricket all forms of cricket in 2019, had taken over as the head coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders in August 2019. He was also appointed as the head coach of Caribbean Premier League franchise Trinbago Knight Riders in the same year.

While he has coached teams in franchise cricket, McCullum is yet to coach an international team and will begin his coaching journey in international cricket with England. Under McCullum, KKR have failed to win the IPL title. They came close last season by reaching the final in IPL 2020 but lost against CSK to miss out on the trophy.

In the ongoing IPL 2022, KKR has struggled for consistency but have managed to remain alive in the race for playoffs with five wins in 12 matches in the competition so far. KKR have an outside chance of making it to the playoffs this season if they manage to win their remaining two games by a big margin.

McCullum, who captained New Zealand in all three formats and is regarded as one of the greatest Kiwi captains of all time, will have his first Test assignment as England coach against the Black Caps. England are scheduled to host New Zealand in a three-match Test series at home which will be the first big challenge for new captain Ben Stokes and coach McCullum.

In the two-day IPL 2022 mega auction, Ishan Kishan made heads turn when he was sold for a whopping INR 152.5 million (INR 15.25 crore). The young wicketkeeper-batter ended as the most expensive&nbsp;player in this year's mega auction.

Ever since he went for a huge sum, being bought back by the Mumbai Indians (MI), many had their eyes on the swashbuckling left-hander Kishan. So far, the keeper-batter has amassed&nbsp;321 runs in 11 matches, at an average of&nbsp;32.10 and has struck at 117.15. While he has three fifties under his belt, the 23-year-old hasn't lived upto expectations with some sluggish knocks and blowing hot and cold so far.

Many former cricketers have felt that Ishan has taken the pressure of the price tag which, in turn, has reflected in his sluggish performances. Recently, Ishan revealed his chat with Virat Kohli, his MI skipper Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya regarding his IPL auction price tag and how to deal with it.

"When I spoke to Rohit bhai, or even to Virat Kohli bhai during the game against RCB and Hardik bhai, everyone told me the same thing ‘you don’t have to think about the price tag’ because it’s not something I have asked for. The team had belief in me, so they did spend the money," Kishan said during a media interaction on the eve of Mumbai's meeting with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), on Thursday (May 12) at IPL 2022.

"Instead of thinking about the pressure of the price tag, it’s important to think about my game and being in the zone. So talking to the senior players really helped. They have played the game for so long and handled different situations. For them also, at some point, the auction price would have gone up. So I learned how they handled the situation then," the Mumbai Indians opener added.

IPL 2022: Ishan Kishan reveals chat with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma on dealing with price tag pressure

The 15th season of the IPL has seen plenty of young Indian stars light up the atmosphere with both bat and ball in hand. Here are some promising players for Team India in the future.

Top 5 young Indian finds in IPL 2022

Virat Kohli is an extremely popular cricketer worldwide. Despite debuting in 2008, he remains the poster boy of Indian cricket and is a darling of the masses. Recently, the 33-year-old revealed an incident where he went unnoticed and wasn't recognised among the crowd in a bakery in Bengaluru.

While Virat's popularity, especially in India, is second to none, he is a hearthrob of Bengaluru city due to his association with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) since IPL's inception, in 2008. Nonetheless, he recently went unrecognised in the city's popular bakery shop, post India's day-night Test versus Sri Lanka early this year.

“It was the third day when the test match got over,” Kohli said in a RCB video. "Anushka has almost literally grown up in Bangalore and literally almost so many friends and so many memories from here. She loves Thom's bakery. As soon as we got back to the hotel, I thought, you know what? Anushka loves the puffs there. That's her most favourite thing to eat in Bangalore,” Kohli continued.

“I walked into Thom's bakery and I told the security to sit in the car. I had a mask on and I had a cap on and it was the best possible way to experience some normalcy and I promise you nobody noticed me at all, it was such a liberating feeling,” Kohli said beaming with joy in the video.

“People were buying their stuff and I got there. I went to the counter and that's when I actually got nervous. I had my credit card, I did not have cash,” he further&nbsp;revealed.

“I gave the guy my credit card and I thought, this is it, now I am gone. I actually had my security’s number on my phone ready to dial if something happens,” Kohli explained why he had panicked in the final moments of the process.

“That's when I realised the fame of that bakery. The guy there was so busy with his work, he did not care whose credit card it was. He swiped it, I signed it, I gave him the receipt, he stamped it and he did not even read who's name was written on it. I was like, wow, this was amazing, nobody recognised me at all,” added the batting maestro.

Virat is currently involved in IPL 2022, where he continues to represent the RCB franchise. Despite his low returns with the bat, managing only 216 runs in 12 games so far, the Faf du Plessis-led franchise is on the brink of qualifying for the playoffs. At present, they have 14 points from a dozen encounters.

Virat Kohli had decided to step down as the captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) last year following the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the UAE. RCB went on to rope in former CSK star Faf du Plessis at the mega auction this year and appointed him as the new captain of the franchise ahead of the ongoing IPL 2022.

Du Plessis, who had a terrific season with the bat for CSK last year, was the second-highest run-getter in IPL 2021 behind only his opening partner Ruturaj Gaikwad. He played an instrumental role in helping CSK win their fourth IPL title last year and has been brilliant for RCB as their captain this year.

Du Plessis has been scoring runs consistently as an opener and has also guided RCB to seven wins in 12 matches so far to help them enter the top four. RCB have two matches remaining in the season and have a healthy chance of making it to the playoffs.

Kohli recently opened up on his equation with Du Plessis at the franchise and stated that he respected him as a captain. The former RCB skipper also went on to reveal how there have been instances when Du Plessis had refused a few suggestions from Kohli during matches.

"Me and Faf got along really well even before we played together this season. He was a captain of South Africa for a while. Faf is a guy who is very sure of himself and he has full authority," said Kohli in an interview shared on RCB's official social media handles.

"Sometimes I mention him things on field and he says 'No, I don't want to do that,' which I respect a lot because that obviously makes you gain respect for someone you are playing under," he added.

Du Plessis is the highest run-getter for RCB so far this season with 389 runs in 12 matches at an impressive average of 35.36 and a strike rate of over 132. He has been leading from the front as far as his form with the bat is concerned and has bailed his team out of trouble on a couple of ocassions.

Kohli, on the other hand, has struggled to score runs consistently this season and has been enduring a rough patch. With two games remaining in the competition, RCB need at least one win to stand a chance to make it to the playoffs.

'He has full authority': Virat Kohli opens up on his equation with Faf du Plessis after leaving RCB captaincy

Prior to the start of IPL 2022, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) announced a change in leadership as MS Dhoni made way for Ravindra Jadeja. Many had their eyes glued on Jadeja as the star CSK all-rounder had big shoes to fill in and deliver the goods for the four-time winners and the defending champions in the 15th season.

Nonetheless, Jadeja's captaincy stint for the Yellow Army was a forgettable affair, where he managed to lead the side to only two wins from eight encounters. With his own performances also not being upto the mark, with both bat and ball, the 33-year-old stepped down from the post and requested his predecessor Dhoni to once again take up the top job before Chennai's ninth game of the season (versus Sunrisers Hyderabad).

Speaking on&nbsp;ESPNcricinfo's T20 Time Out, India's former head coach Ravi Shastri opened up on Jadeja's CSK captaincy stint. While Shastri agreed that the change in captaincy led to CSK's downfall this season,&nbsp;he defended Jadeja and refrained from blaming him for CSK's woeful run. He said, "He [Jadeja] is not a natural captain. He hasn't captained at any level. So, to give him the responsibility I thought was a little hard on Jadeja. People might want to judge Jaddu, but it's not his fault. He hasn't captained anywhere. He looked a fish out of water, totally out of place and he's far better off playing as a player. Because he's one of the best around in the business, when it comes to allrounders."

"So let him just focus on his cricket. That [decision to give him the captaincy] cost CSK a few games early on. If you see the form they're in now, if they had this going early on, they'll be right up there in the mix, Shastri further added.

After relinquishing CSK captaincy, Jadeja looked in some control with the ball and bowled some tidy spells but failed to get going in the franchise's reverse fixture against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during a tricky run-chase. In the same encounter, he injured himself and is reportedly out of the remainder of IPL 2022.

Jadeja's numbers in IPL 2022 have also been below-par. He has only accounted for five scalps and struck at a woeful&nbsp;118.36. If his season has ended due to injury, it surely has been a forgettable one for the star cricketer.

'He looked a fish out of water' - Ravi Shastri defends Ravindra Jadeja's CSK captaincy stint

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) suffered a humiliating 62-run defeat against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Tuesday (May 10). It was a disappointing batting performance from LSG as they were bundled out for a paltry 82 in pursuit of a target of 145 runs at the MCA Stadium in Pune.

With the help of some brilliant bowling from Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan, Lucknow Super Giants had managed to stop Gujarat Titans on 144 runs in the first innings. KL Rahul &amp; Co. were favourites ahead of the start of their run-chase and were expected to seal a comfortable win.

However, their batting line-up suffered a terrible collapse. The likes of skipper Rahul (8), Quinton de Kock (11), Krunal Pandya (5), Ayush Badoni (8) and Marcus Stoinis (2) all failed to deliver. Deepak Hooda top-scored with 27 runs off 26 balls but his efforts were not enough to take LSG home as they recorded their lowest total this season.

Following the conclusion of the game, LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir gave a passionate speech in the dressing room. Gambhir had some strong words for the Lucknow players and said it felt like they gave up against Gujarat Titans. The former India opener said there was nothing wrong in losing but a lot wrong in giving up.

"There is nothing wrong in losing. It is absolutely fine. One team has to win one team has to lose. But there is a lot wrong in giving up. Today I thought that we gave up and were weak," Gambhir can be heard saying in a video shared by Lucknow Super Giants on Instagram.

"And honestly, there is no place for being weak in a tournament like the IPL or in sport. That is where the problem is. We have beaten sides in this competition but I felt today we lacked the game sense, which was more important," he added.

Lucknow Super Giants had headed into the clash against Gujarat Titans as the top-ranked side on the IPL 2022 points table and had the chance to become the first team to qualify for the playoffs this season. However, they failed to register a win against Hardik Pandya's men to slip to the second spot with 16 points from 12 matches so far.

LSG will be hoping to win their remaining two matches in the league stage and secure a spot in the top two to ensure they get two shots at qualifying for the final.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) suffered a humiliating 62-run defeat against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Tuesday (May 10). It was a disappointing batting performance from LSG as they were bundled out for a paltry 82 in pursuit of a target of 145 runs at the MCA Stadium in Pune.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) suffered a humiliating 62-run defeat against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Tuesday (May 10). It was a disappointing batting performance from LSG as they were bundled out for a paltry 82 in pursuit of a target of 145 runs at the MCA Stadium in Pune. With the help of some brilliant bowling from Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan, Lucknow Super Giants had managed to stop Gujarat Titans on 144 runs in the first innings. KL Rahul & Co. were favourites ahead of the start of their run-chase and were expected to seal a comfortable win. However, their batting line-up suffered a terrible collapse. The likes of skipper Rahul (8), Quinton de Kock (11), Krunal Pandya (5), Ayush Badoni (8) and Marcus Stoinis (2) all failed to deliver. Deepak Hooda top-scored with 27 runs off 26 balls but his efforts were not enough to take LSG home as they recorded their lowest total this season. Following the conclusion of the game, LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir gave a passionate speech in the dressing room. Gambhir had some strong words for the Lucknow players and said it felt like they gave up against Gujarat Titans. The former India opener said there was nothing wrong in losing but a lot wrong in giving up. Also Read: Huge blow for CSK as Ravindra Jadeja likely to be ruled out of remainder of IPL 2022 "There is nothing wrong in losing. It is absolutely fine. One team has to win one team has to lose. But there is a lot wrong in giving up. Today I thought that we gave up and were weak," Gambhir can be heard saying in a video shared by Lucknow Super Giants on Instagram. "And honestly, there is no place for being weak in a tournament like the IPL or in sport. That is where the problem is. We have beaten sides in this competition but I felt today we lacked the game sense, which was more important," he added.

'We gave up & were weak': Gautam Gambhir delivers strong speech in dressing room after LSG lose to GT

The cricketing fraternity has been shocked by Virat Kohli's run in IPL 2022. After he had relinquished Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) captaincy last year, many expected the 33-year-old right-hander to come out all guns blazing in IPL 2022 with no additional pressure on his shoulders.

However, Kohli has failed to get going and has managed only one fifty in 12 games so far. Moreover, he has amassed only 216 runs in a dozen encounters, at an average of&nbsp;19.64 and has struck at a woeful 111.34. Thus, many former cricketers such as Ravi Shastri, Kevin Pietersen, Rashid Latif, etc. have opined on Kohli's form.&nbsp;

In a video posted by RCB, the 33-year-old Kohli opened up on his woeful run. For the unversed, he has three golden ducks this season and, hence, stated&nbsp;that it is only after his second duck that he realised what it feels like to be 'helpless'.

"After the second duck, I realized what it feels like to be helpless. It has never happened with me in my career. That's why I was smiling because it has been so long and I have seen everything this game has to show," Kohli&nbsp;said.

On his critics and the outside noise regarding his form, Kohli stated, "They can't be in my shoes. They can't feel what I feel. They can't live my life. They can't live those moments. So you say how do you cut out the noise? You either mute the TV or don't play attention to what people are saying. I do both of these things."

I realized what it feels like to be helpless: Virat Kohli opens up on his poor run of form in IPL 2022

In what can be a huge blow for MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK), star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is likely to be ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The former CSK skipper had missed the side's last game against Delhi Capitals (DC) owing to an injury and is now reportedly set to miss the remaining matches.

Jadeja had injured his arm while fielding during the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore following which he had to sit out against Delhi Capitals. However, his absence was not felt much as CSK went on to thrash DC by 91 runs after posting a huge total of 208 runs on the board to keep their playoffs hopes alive.

Shivam Dube had come in as Jadeja's replacement in the game and played a good cameo of 32 off 19 balls laced with two sixes and two fours. As per a report in the Times of India, Jadeja can miss the remainder of the season as the CSK camp assessed his injury and it has not gotten better in the last couple of days.&nbsp;

It can be a huge blow to CSK as they still have an outside chance of making it to the top four. Despite not having played to the best of their potential this season, CSK have managed 8 points in 11 matches so far and can finish the season with a maximum of 14 points which might be enough for them to qualify depending on the results of other teams.

CSK had started the season under Jadeja's captaincy after Dhoni handed over the reins to the star all-rounder just before the start of the tournament. However, Jadeja handed over the baton back to Dhoni midway through the campaign and decided to quit captaincy.

Huge blow for CSK as Ravindra Jadeja likely to be ruled out of remainder of IPL 2022 - Report

The&nbsp;action will continue in IPL 2022 edition as the one-time winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) will lock horns with the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the&nbsp;Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai. The clash holds a lot of significance for both sides as the playoffs race has intensified in the last few games.

Talking about the Sanju Samson-led RR franchise, the 2008 winners are in a better position than their opposition. The Rajasthan unit come into this game on the back of an important six-wicket win over Punjab Kings (PBKS), where they chased for the first time this season. So far, they have accumulated 14 points and from 11 encounters and, hence, a win will take them closer to the playoffs.&nbsp;

On the other hand, DC have been plagued with several concerns this season. From players' unavailability, injury and Covid-19 concerns, many things have let down the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi unit. They are heading into this game on the back of a forgettable outing versus MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK), where they lost by a whopping 91-run margin. For the IPL 2020 runners-up, they cannot afford more slip-ups if they need to progress ahead into the tournament.

Match prediction for RR vs DC clash:&nbsp;In head-to-head, Rajasthan is slightly ahead (13-12). Since 2019, DC lead 6-3. While the third-placed RR will start as favourites given they have had more things working in their favour throughout the season, the fifth-ranked DC will be upbeat after a controversial end to the contest when both sides met earlier this season (where RR won by 15 runs). The venue has seen teams batting first winning the last two games with the wicket being two-paced. Will DC bounce back from their mistakes and win at the same venue where CSK demolished them? Form and consistency surely favours RR.

RR vs DC, IPL 2022 today match prediction: Who will win Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals clash?

Rashid Khan, at 23, is already one of the greats in white-ball formats. He has excelled in T20s with his wicket-taking abilities for Afghanistan and also while playing for several franchises in various leagues. During match 57 of IPL 2022, Rashid Khan created history by becoming only the third bowler to achieve 450 wickets in T20s.

Courtesy of Rashid's 4 for 24, his franchise Gujarat Titans (GT) beat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by a whopping 62-run margin in match 57 of IPL 15 on Tuesday evening (May 10) at the MCA Stadium, Pune. In defence of a moderate 144-4, Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat bowlers stood tall as Rashid wreaked havoc with the ball during&nbsp;Lucknow's run-chase whereas Sai Kishore's twin strikes also helped the new franchise to a win and become the first side in IPL 2022 to confirm a playoffs spot.&nbsp;

What's staggering is that Rashid is only 23 and, hence, is sure to add plenty more wickets to his tally in the coming years. With his memorable performance versus Lucknow, Rashid also achieved two more impressive feats.

After taking Gujarat into the playoffs, vice-captain Rashid said at the post-match presentation, "Those couple of games which did not go well was all about my line and length. That was something I was missing in those games. The pace I bowl and action I have, I cannot afford to lose my line and length, it was about focusing on hitting the right area. The wicket was helping today with bounce and turn, but overall it was about bowling in the right areas. They (the pacers) have given us a platform where we can come and put the pressure. In a chase like 140-145 you need to have a good powerplay and the seamers gave us that. This is a very crucial part of the competition, it is all about the process whether we win or lose, we should keep the same process. We have to get better day by day and have to keep doing good things. Now the focus should be on playing good cricket and enjoying ourselves. I think Holder's wicket was crucial at that time and I had planned it, to bowl the leggie from middle stump."

IPL 2022: Rashid Khan creates history, becomes 3rd bowler to achieve 450 T20 scalps as GT beat LSG

Gujarat Titans (GT) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) locked horns with each other in match 57&nbsp;of IPL 2022 edition, on Tuesday evening (May 10) at the MCA Stadium, Pune. In what was a battle between the top-two sides, the winner was set to become the first team in IPL 2022 to qualify for the playoffs. In a low-scoring affair, Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat beat KL Rahul's Lucknow by 62 runs, in defence of 144-4, to get to 18 points and make it to the playoffs.

Opting to bat first, Hardik &amp; Co. struggled for runs on a tricky surface as Shubman Gill's 49-ball 63 propelled Gujarat to 144-4, along with some contributions from David Miller and Rahul Tewatia. In reply, Rashid Khan's 4 for 24 and Sai Kishore's twin strikes dented Lucknow in pursuit of 145 as they were bundled out for a paltry 82 in 13.5 overs.

As it was a long-scoring affair, the batters didn't manage plenty of big hits. As many as only four sixes were hit in the match, with two successive ones from No. 11 Lucknow batter Avesh Khan (off Rashid). In this process, pacer Avesh also created a new IPL record for the No. 11 batter. He became the first-ever No. 11 batter to hit multiple sixes in an IPL innings.

While Lucknow struggled to confirm their place in the playoffs with a win over Gujarat, Avesh still had a decent outing with 4-0-26-2 and 12 runs off four deliveries, striking at 300. He will now be desperate to shine in Lucknow's remaining two fixtures and take them to the playoffs.

Gujarat Titans returned to winning ways after back-to-back losses and became the first team to seal their place in the play-offs by defeating Lucknow Super Giants by 62 runs in an Indian Premier League match here on Tuesday.

Even though LSG did a decent job with the ball to restrict GT to 144 for 4 after being asked to bowl, the KL Rahul-led side flopped with the bat as they were bowled out for 82 in 13.5 overs. Rashid Khan (4/24) starred with the ball for GT, while Yash Dayal (2/24) and R Sai Kishore (2/7) picked up two wickets each.

Earlier, opening batter Shubman Gill hit a fine half-century but LSG produced a disciplined bowling effort to restrict GT to a modest score. Gill remained not out on 63 off 49 balls with the help of seven fours but lacked support from the other end. He was left stranded as GT's next highest scorer was David Miller (26).

Avesh Khan (2/26) picked up two wickets for LSG, while Mohsin Khan (1/18) and Jason Holder (1/44) scalped one apiece.

GT sealed their play-off berth, reaching 18 points from 12 games. The defeat snapped LSG's five-match winning streak but they are still comfortably placed in the second spot with 16 points and need just a win to book their last-four berth.

LSG made a slow start to their chase and their problems were further compounded after they lost Quinton de Kock (11) and skipper KL Rahul (8) in consecutive overs to slump to 24 for 2 after four overs.

While Yash Dayal accounted for De Kock, Rahul top-edged a Mohammed Shami short delivery to Wriddhiman Saha behind the stumps. Debutant Karan Sharma didn't help his cause either, handing a catch to David Miller inside the circle to give Dayal his second scalp of the day.

Introduced into the attack in the eighth over, Rashid Khan struck with his third delivery, foxing Krunal Pandya with a googly and Saha was quick to whip off the bails. With wickets falling in quick succession from the start, LSG never got any momentum to their chase, reaching 58 for 4 at the halfway stage.

The ever-rising asking rate led to the downfall of Ayush Badoni (8), who was stumped by Saha off R Sai Kishore. 
LSG's scorecard cut a sorry figure as the likes of Marcus Stoinis (2) and Jason Holder (1) too failed to rise to the occasion.

Deepak Hooda top-scored for LSG with a struggling 26-ball 27. Earlier, GT's decision to bat first after winning the toss backfired big time as they lost Wriddhiman Saha (5) and Matthew Wade (10) cheaply with the scoreboard reading just 24 inside five overs.

With wickets tumbling from the other end, Gill went about his business cautiously and in the company of skipper Hardik Pandya shared 27 runs for the third wicket before the latter departed, edging one to Quinton de Kock behind the stumps to give Avesh his second wicket of the day.

Once Hardik departed, Gill took the onus on himself and upped the ante, first chopping Avesh to the square boundary and then reverse-swept Krunal Pandya to the third-man fence in the next over. But thereafter, both Gill and Miller failed to open their arms as Mohsin and Krunal bowled tight line and length to stem the run flow.

Miller finally broke the shackles in the third delivery of the 16th over with a huge six off Jason Holder over extra cover, in what was the first maximum of the innings. Miller, however, perished in the final ball of the over, caught by Ayush Badoni as he slashed one straight to deep third man.

Gill, on the other hand, went about his innings in a smooth fashion and brought up his fifty in 42 balls with a single off Dushmantha Chameera. Once he reached his fifty, Gill opened up and struck Chameera for back-to-back boundaries to pick up 14 runs from the 17th over.

Rahul Tewatia (22 not out off 16 balls) used the long handle to good effect in the final over, smashing Holder for three boundaries to take the score close to the 150-run mark.&nbsp;

IPL 2022: Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill star as Gujarat Titans beat LSG by 62 runs, qualify for playoffs

Gujarat Titans (GT) bounced back to winning ways after two back-to-back losses as they thrashed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 62 runs at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Tuesday (May 10). Gujarat Titans produced a clinical performance with the ball to bundle out LSG for a paltry 82 runs while defending a moderate total of 144 runs.

It was a superb show from the GT bowlers, who kept taking wickets at regular intervals to ensure LSG never looked in control of the run-chase. Young pacer Yash Dayal struck early in the Powerplay to get rid of Quinton de Kock (11) cheaply before LSG skipper KL Rahul was sent back by Mohammed Shami in the 5th over.

It was a Rashid Khan show post the departure of the LSG openers as the Afghanistan spinner ran through their batting line-up. Rashid recorded his best figures in IPL as he bagged a four wicket-haul while conceding only 24 runs off his 3.5 overs. Rashid picked up the important wickets of Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder and Avesh Khan to complete his four-wicket haul.

While Rashid was the star with the ball for Gujarat Titans on a sluggish track at the MCA Stadium, opener Shubman Gill top-scored with the bat. Gill played a brilliant knock of unbeaten 63 and stayed out in the middle from the start to end to ensure GT had a fighting total of 144 runs on the board.

IPL 2022 updated points table after Gujarat Titans thrash Lucknow Super Giants by 62 runs

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have enjoyed a terrific run so far in their debut campaign in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. LSG were one of the two teams who are drafted in the competition this year and have had a brilliant tournament under captain KL Rahul and mentor Gautam Gambhir.

LSG got off to a losing start in the tournament as they suffered a defeat in their opening game against Gujarat Titans. However, they were quick to stage a comeback and won 8 out of their next ten matches in the competition. With 8 wins in 11 games so far, LSG were placed at the top of the IPL 2022 points table heading into the game against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday (May 10).

Both the debutants LSG and Gujarat Titans have 16 points each in the tournament so far and the winner of Tuesday's contest between the two will become the first team to make it to the playoffs this season. Ahead of his side's clash against Gujarat Titans, Gambhir explained the reason behind his side's success in IPL 2022.

The former India opener credited work done at the auction as the major reason behind the team's stellar run stating how 50% of the job was done at the auction table. But Gambhir also explained it's not just about getting the players in but also their performances on the field matter.

"The auction is very important. 50% of the job is done on the auction table. It helps the management when you pick a good side. But as long as they don't perform on the field, it doesn't matter even if you pick the best possible players. The franchise is new but the players are not new. This is not an excuse as all the players are experienced," said Gambhir

Gambhir, who won two IPL titles as captain with his former IPL side Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) also gave an insight about the dressing room atmosphere at LSG and said there is no her worshipping in the squad. Gambhir added there is only one monster which is the franchise itself and not any player.

"It helps all players come in with a clean slate and without any baggage. There is no better opportunity than playing for a new franchise and leaving a legacy from the start. The biggest secret to our success is that we have just one monster, and that is the franchise, LSG. There is no hero worship," said Gambhir.

" In T20s and in the IPL, you can't brush things under the carpet. The day you start feeling that you are doing extremely well, your downfall starts. Still, a lot to improve" he added.

While skipper Rahul has been among the runs and has led from the front with the bat, the likes of Deepak Hooda, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan and Quinton de Kock have been among the top performers for LSG and have played a huge role in their success so far this season.

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has backed his former teammate and Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma to bounce back to form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Rohit has not been in the best of form for the five-time champions, who have struggled for consistency and are already out of the race for the playoffs this season with only two wins in eleven matches so far this season.

Mumbai Indians got off to a woeful start in the league as they lost their first eight matches in a row before managing to bring an end to their losing streak against Rajasthan Royals to bag their maiden win. They went on to defeat Gujarat Titans in their next game before slipping to another huge loss against Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game on Monday.

Rohit's poor run with the willow continued in his side's last clash against KKR as he was once again dismissed cheaply. The Hitman was adjudged out controversially in the game as he could manage only 2 runs off 6 balls. Rohit has endured a rough patch with the willow this season as he has managed to amass only 200 runs in 11 matches at a shambolic average of 18.18. The Hitman is yet to score a fifty in this edition of the tournament.

After Rohit's unlucky dismissal against KKR on Monday, Yuvraj took to Twitter to make a bold prediction regarding the MI star and said something big is coming from the Hitman's bat soon. "Hitman !!

The five-time champions had only managed two wins in their first ten games eventually bowing out of the tournament early. They have three games remaining in the season and will be looking to end the season on a high with some wins behind their back.

'Something big is coming': Yuvraj Singh makes bold prediction about Rohit Sharma amid poor run in IPL 2022

IPL 2022 edition is in its business end with the league stage about to get over soon. With the race for the playoffs intensifying with each passing day and game, the one-time runners-up Delhi Capitals (DC) need to pull up their socks as they have only five wins from 11 encounters and are occupying the fifth spot.&nbsp;

Ahead of their crucial tie versus Rajasthan Royals (RR), former New Zealand and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Daniel Vettori opined on DC captain Pant's patchy form with the willow. So far, the swashbuckling left-hander has amassed 281 runs in 11 matches, striking at a good&nbsp;152.71 but the 24-year-old hasn't played upto his potential and stayed in the middle for long to return with a match-winning knock. Thus, Vettori shared a piece of advice for Pant.

“I’d like to see him bat at three for Delhi Capitals, especially now when the heat is on, when they’ve got to win. Let him go and smack it," said Vettori&nbsp;on ESPNcricinfo. "Rishabh Pant is almost at his best when he’s reckless, and we’ve seen him play some exceptional innings when he just continues to take teams down time and time again," Vettori added.

Pant has played some good cameos but hasn't been a match-winner for the Delhi franchise with the willow in hand. Thus, it will be interesting to see if he promotes himself up the order to get more time in the middle and smack some big shots in the upcoming do-or-die encounters for DC.

IPL 2022: 'Rishabh Pant is at his best when....' - Former RCB captain shares piece of advice for DC skipper

Virat Kohli has endured a horrific run with the bat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was expected to set the stage on fire this season having left captaincy, however, his performances have been below-par for the Faf du Plessis-led side. Kohli has managed only one half-century and has three golden ducks in 12 matches so far this season.

Kohli has so far managed to notch up 216 runs in 12 matches at an average of 19.62 and a mediocre strike rate of 111.34. The batting maestro suffered yet another failure in RCB's last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday as he was once again dismissed on a duck. Regarded as one of the best batters in the world at present, Kohli has a forgetful IPL campaign so far this season.

Recently, former India head coach Ravi Shastri had advised Kohli to take a break from the game for his own good. Shastri, who worked with Kohli during his stint as the head coach of the Indian team, had suggested Kohli is 'overcooked' and desperately needs a break. After Kohli's dismissal against SRH on Sunday, a debate sparked in the commentary box whether the RCB star needed a break from the game.

It was then that commentator Harsha Bhogle brought up Shastri's comments about Kohli being overcooked and desperately needing a break. Former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was also in the commentary box went on to question Shastri's suggestion to Kohli and said if the former India head coach would suggest a beak to Rohit Sharma too.

Like Kohli, Rohit too hasn't enjoyed the best of form in IPL 2022 and has struggled to score runs consistently. the Mumbai Indians skipper is yet to notch up a fifty in the tournament and has only 200 runs to his name in 11 matches this season.

“Does he say the same about Rohit Sharma? I mean these guys are playing cricket all the time, of course, these tournaments, they come around so quickly, you get yourself into a mental space and Kohli has been brilliant at it for so many years, so animated, so passionate. To come off that though just for a moment and you are under pressure,” Hayden said talking about Shastri's suggestion to Kohli.

Bhogle was quick to clarify after Hayden's remarks that he brought up Shastri's comments only because he knew Kohli well having worked with him for a number of years as the head coach of the Indian team. Kohli was captain of the side during Shastri's stint as head coach from 2017 to 2021.

“The only reason I brought that up, Ravi and Virat have known each other so well over the last 3-4 years, have run a lot of campaigns together, been very good at Test cricket. He knows the inner mind,” said Bhogle.

Virat Kohli has endured a horrific run with the bat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was expected to set the stage on fire this season having left captaincy, however, his performances have been below-par for the Faf du Plessis-led side.

Virat Kohli has endured a horrific run with the bat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was expected to set the stage on fire this season having left captaincy, however, his performances have been below-par for the Faf du Plessis-led side. Kohli has managed only one half-century and has three golden ducks in 12 matches so far this season. Kohli has so far managed to notch up 216 runs in 12 matches at an average of 19.62 and a mediocre strike rate of 111.34. The batting maestro suffered yet another failure in RCB's last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday as he was once again dismissed on a duck. Regarded as one of the best batters in the world at present, Kohli has a forgetful IPL campaign so far this season. Recently, former India head coach Ravi Shastri had advised Kohli to take a break from the game for his own good. Shastri, who worked with Kohli during his stint as the head coach of the Indian team, had suggested Kohli is 'overcooked' and desperately needs a break.

'Does he say the same for Rohit Sharma?': Matthew Hayden on Ravi Shastri advising Virat Kohli to take a break

Match 57 of the IPL 2022 edition will see the table-toppers Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lock horns with the Gujarat Titans (GT) as the two newcomers will fight hard to confirm a playoffs berth with a win. A victory for any of the sides will take them to the last four on Tuesday evening (May 10).

Talking about the run of both sides, Lucknow and Gujarat both have been very impressive in their debut season. Both have eight wins and three losses from 11 games but Gujarat's two back-to-back defeats and Lucknow's healthy NRR, due to a whopping 75-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), sees the latter&nbsp;at the top spot.

The last time Gujarat and Lucknow locked horns with each other was in the first week of IPL 2022, at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. In a hard-fought contest, Rahul &amp; Co. posted 158-6, riding on fifties from Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni, but couldn't defend the total due to contributions from Matthew Wade, Hardik, David Miller and Rahul Tewatia and lose by five wickets. Md Shami returned with the Player-of-the-Match award for his 3 for 25. Early wickets for Gujarat made the difference in a tight contest.

Match prediction for Gujarat vs Lucknow: The surface at the MCA Stadium, Pune favours the batters on most occasions. While it has been deemed to be on the slower side, run-making hasn't been very difficult. From high-scorers to teams defending less than 150, everything has been witnessed here at the MCA Stadium. With teams batting first winning eight&nbsp;out of the 11 games this season, expect Lucknow and Gujarat to also follow the trend. Both sides are unbeaten at this venue so far in IPL 2022. Expect a mouth-watering 155-160-plus contest. While momentum is with the Lucknow franchise, will Gujarat end their two-match winless streak?

Gujarat Titans or Lucknow Super Giants? Harbhajan reveals which team will be the 1st to qualify for playoffs

KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will lock horns against Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans (GT) in a top of the table clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Tuesday (May 10). LSG surpassed Gujarat Titans to take the top spot on the points table with a huge win of 75 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their last game.

While Rahul &amp; Co. will be hoping to continue their winning run, Gujarat Titans will be aiming to bounce back after back-to-back defeats in their last two games. Gujarat Titans were enjoying a stellar run in the tournament and had lost just one out of their first nine matches this season.

However, a faltering middle-order and the failure of their bowling attack have seen them lose their last two matches on the trot. Both Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants currently have 16 points each and the winner of the game on Tuesday will become the first team to qualify for the playoffs this season.

Lucknow Super Giants had gotten off to a losing start this season and have struggled in a few matches but with a settled batting unit and an in-form pace attack, they are one of the favourites to become the first team to make it to the playoffs this year.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans, IPL 2022: Head-to-head, stats, trivia and predicted playing XIs

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) kept their playoffs hopes alive with a comfortable 52-run win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Monday (May 09). It was a brilliant all-round performance from the Shreyas Iyer-led side as they went on to successfully defend the total of 165 runs to bag their fifth win of the season and moved to the seventh spot on the points table.

While there were a number of talking points from the game with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins and Rinku Singh impressing for their respective teams, Iyer's startling revelation post the conclusion of the game took many by surprise. Following his side's victory, the KKR skipper was asked why KKR have been chopping and changing too much and don't yet have a settled playing XI this season.

On Monday, KKR had made as many as five changes in their playing XI against Mumbai Indians as the likes of openers Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane along with Cummins returned to the team. KKR's unstable combination has been one of the major reasons behind their inconsistent run this season as they lie in the bottom half of the points table in IPL 2022.

While many would expect the decisions pertaining to the frequent changes in the team are being taken by the captain and the coaches, that has not been the case at KKR. Iyer revealed franchise's CEO Venky Mysore has also been involved in team selections, an admission that left many in shock.

“It’s really difficult. I was also in that position once when I started playing IPl," Iyer said at the post-match presentation on Monday when asked how difficult was it to inform the players that they are not playing on a particular day. He then went on to reveal how KKR CEO is also involved in the selection process along with him and head coach Brendon McCullum.

"We discuss with the coaches, obviously CEO (Venky Mysore) is also involved in team selection. Especially, Baz (Brendon McCullum) goes to the players and tells them if they are not playing. All of them are very supportive of the decision-making. The way they turn up to the ground, support each and every individual in the playing eleven, it’s something to be proud of as a captain. I am really happy that we came today with good spirits and played with all the energy," said Iyer.

'CEO is involved in team selections': KKR captain Shreyas Iyer's revelation raises eyebrows

The race for the IPL 2022 playoffs is getting intense and a bit complicated with each passing day and match. With 56 matches done and dusted in the league stage, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and&nbsp;Gujarat Titans (GT) hold the top-two spots, respectively, and one of them are set to book a slot in the playoffs on Tuesday evening (May 10).

While Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) -- both tied on 14 points -- also&nbsp;look set to be the other two teams to enter the playoffs, one can expect some more twists and turns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Delhi Capitals (DC), Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all tied on 10 points. On the other hand, defending champions and four-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are also somehow alive in the competition with 8 points from 11 games. Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) are the only team confirmed to be out of the race.

As there is total chaos in the mid-table, here's how KKR and CSK -- who have lesser chances compared to the other teams stranded in the middle -- can qualify for the playoffs:

KKR's scenario:

With 5 wins in 12 matches, Shreyas Iyer &amp; Co.&nbsp;have 10 points. They are set to play two more matches in the league stage. The franchise can earn two more victories, at the maximum, to take their overall points tally to 14.&nbsp;

<section>
KKR's NRR&nbsp;is presently at -0.057. Since 4 teams are already of 14 points, the two-time winners need a miracle. They&nbsp;would hope for the above teams&nbsp;to lose all of their matches handsomely.&nbsp;Seems unlikely!

The Dhoni-led Yellow Army's case isn't much different. While CSK need to win all of their remaining three matches to remain alive, their NRR is better (+0.028) --&nbsp;following the big victory over DC --&nbsp;and gives them a better chance in comparison to KKR to progress ahead.

MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) locked horns with the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 55 of IPL 2022 edition on Sunday evening (May 08), at the DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai. Despite losing the toss, Chennai dominated the proceedings after their openers Ruturaj Gaikwad (41) and Devon Conway (87) set the tone for a big total courtesy of their impressive 110-run stand.

As a result, CSK posted a mammoth 208-6 and later defended the total by a whopping 91-run margin. While CSK's slim chances of entering the playoffs remain alive, captain Dhoni achieved yet another illustrious feat in his T20 career. Courtesy of his rapid 8-ball 21 not out, the 40-year-old veteran keeper-batter became only the second T20 captain to enter the 6000-run club. Thus, he joined Virat Kohli in a special list with Rohit Sharma at the&nbsp;third spot.

CSK vs DC: MS Dhoni enters 6000-run club as T20 captain, joins Virat Kohli in elite list

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) kept their playoffs hopes alive in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 with a comprehensive 52-run win over Mumbai Indians (MI) at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Monday (May 09). KKR bowled well and produced a brilliant display on the field to successfully defend the total of 165 runs and bag their fifth win of the season.

Batting first, KKR got off to a good start as openers Venkatesh Iyer (43) and Ajinkya Rahane (25) posted a 60-run stand for the first wicket. Crucial knocks from Nitish Rana (43) and Rinku Singh (23) then propelled KKR to a fighting total of 165 runs on the board.

The pacers impressed with the ball as KKR got off to a flyer while defending the total. Tim Southee got rid of MI skipper Rohit Sharma cheaply on just 2 off 6 balls before Andre Russell removes Tilak Verma (6) and Ramandeep Singh (12) to pile on the pressure on the MI batting line-up.

Kishan held one end of the crease with a gritty 51 off 43 balls but failed to find support from the other end as the likes of Tim David (13) and Kieron Pollard (15) disappointed once again. MI were bundled out for a paltry 113 runs as they lost the game by 52 runs to suffer their 9th defeat of the season.

Updated IPL 2022 points table after Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians by 52 runs

Kolkata Knight Riders finally found the team balance they were looking for to outclass Mumbai Indians by 52 runs here on Monday and keep their slim IPL play-off hopes alive. Lead Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah picked up his maiden five-wicket haul in IPL history to restrict KKR to 165 for nine after fine knocks from Venkatesh Iyer (43 off 24) and Nitish Rana (43 off 24).

Barring a 43-ball 51 from Ishan Kishan, Mumbai batters struggled to get going in the chase as their innings ended at 113 all out in 17.3 overs. KKR finally played Tim Southee (1/10) and Pat Cummins (3/22) together and the move worked with the seasoned pacers sharing four wickets. Andre Russell too chipped in with couple of wickets.

Another big positive was the return to form of Venkatesh Iyer, who had to be dropped earlier in the competition due to his lean run after a sensational debut season in 2021. While MI were already out of the play-off race, KKR, who have five wins from 12 games, can still sneak into the top four with two games remaining.

Earlier, KKR openers Venkatesh and Ajinkya Rahane (25 off 24 balls) added 60 runs in just 5.4 overs after they were put into bat but the Shreyas Iyer-led side failed to capitalise on that promising start. Rana blazed his way to a 26-ball 43, with three boundaries and four sixes, but it was Bumrah (5/10), who took five wickets in two overs, to put the brakes on KKR, who suffered a middle-order collapse.

In the 15th over, Bumrah removed Russell (9) and Rana and then clinched three wickets -- Sheldon Jackson (5), Cummins (0) and Sunil Narine (0), in the 18th over, a maiden, to bring MI back into the game. Venkatesh smashed three boundaries and four sixes, but perished in the sixth over, giving a sitter to Daniel Sams at point, with spinner Kumar Kartikeya Singh (2/32) getting his first wicket.

Venkatesh was brutal on spinner Murugan Ashwin (1/35), hitting him for his first maximum, a pull shot and then hammered a boundary. The southpaw then walloped his second six over deep mid-wicket off Daniel Sams (1/26), as KKR raced to 26/0 after three overs. He then targeted Riley Meredith (0/35), hammering him for boundary and a six, a scoop shot, in the fifth over where KKR amassed 17 runs.

Mumbai bowlers conceded only 23 runs from overs 7-10. Kartikeya cleaned up Rahane, with a full delivery that turned in as the opener was beaten while attempting a reverse-sweep.

After Rahane's dismissal, Rana upped the ante and launched into Kartikeya, hitting him for two successive sixes, one over long-on. He then tore into Kieron Pollard, hammering two sixes and a boundary in the 13th over, where the side got 17 runs.

But then it was Bumrah, who wreaked havoc with the ball and firmly brought MI back into the contest.&nbsp;

Jasprit Bumrah bowls triple wicket-maiden over against KKR, bags fifer to record his best-ever figures in IPL

Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma's disappointing run with the bat continued in his side's clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2022 on Monday (May 09). Rohit was dismissed cheaply yet again as he was sent back on 2 after a controversial dismissal against KKR pacer Time Southee at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.

Rohit was dismissed on the last ball of the first over of the Mumbai Indians' innings. Southee bowled a short of length delivery to Rohit cramping him for room. The ball had hit Rohit's thigh pad before KKR wicket-keeper Sheldon Jackon took the catch. However, Jackson was convinced Rohit had edged the ball and asked KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer to go for a review after Rohit was deemed not out by the on-field umpire.

The replays showed there was an edge when the ball passed the bat. However, there was a clear technical glitch in the ultra edge as spikes were witnessed in the replay even before the ball passed close to the bat. Nonetheless, the third umpire was quick to make his decision and adjudged Rohit out.

Rohit was left dejected in the middle as he couldn't believe what had unfolded. The Mumbai Indians skipper was sure he had not edged the ball but he was deemed out and had to leave the ground. The controversial dismissal soon sparked massive outrage on social media as fans slammed the 3rd umpire for the decision.

After Rohit's early dismissal, Mumbai Indians' batting line-up faltered once again in the crucial 166-run chase. Wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan struck a gritty 51 off 43 balls but his efforts were not enough as MI's batting crumbled under pressure once again. Mumbai Indians were bundled out for a platry 113 runs to los the game by 52 runs.

Mumbai Indians have now lost as many as nine out of their eleven matches this season and are already out of the race to secure a spot in the playoffs.

Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma's disappointing run with the bat continued in his side's clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2022 on Monday (May 09).

Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma's disappointing run with the bat continued in his side's clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2022 on Monday (May 09). Rohit was dismissed cheaply yet again as he was sent back on 2 after a controversial dismissal against KKR pacer Time Southee at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. Rohit was dismissed on the last ball of the first over of the Mumbai Indians' innings. Southee bowled a short of length delivery to Rohit cramping him for room. The ball had hit Rohit's thigh pad before KKR wicket-keeper Sheldon Jackon took the catch. However, Jackson was convinced Rohit had edged the ball and asked KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer to go for a review after Rohit was deemed not out by the on-field umpire. The replays showed there was an edge when the ball passed the bat. However, there was a clear technical glitch in the ultra edge as spikes were witnessed in the replay even before the ball passed close to the bat. Nonetheless, the third umpire was quick to make his decision and adjudged Rohit out.
