From superstar Virat Kohli to finisher Dinesh Karthik: Top ten run-getters in IPL

Mumbai Indians (MI) have been handed a huge blow in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as star batter Suryakumar Yadav has been ruled out of the remainder of the season due to an injury. MI confirmed Suryakumar's ouster from the tournament ahead of their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Monday (May 09).

Suryakumar was hit on his left forearm while batting during Mumbai Indians' clash against Gujarat Titans last week. He didn't come out to field in the game as his injury worsened. MI on Monday informed that the scans have shown a muscle strain and the star batter has been advised to rest by the BCCI medical team which rules him out of the season.

“Suryakumar Yadav has sustained a muscle strain on the left forearm, and has been ruled out for the season. He has been advised rest, in consultation with the BCCI medical team," Mumbai Indians said in a statement.

Suryakumar had arrived late in the tournament this year as he was recovering from a hairline fracture and had undergone his rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. He missed the first two games of the season before returning to the playing XI.

In just 8 games that he has played this season, Suryakumar has been one of MI's best batters with 303 runs at an average of over 43 and a strike rate of over 145. However, despite his heroics, MI have struggled massively this season and are already out of the race for the playoffs.

Mumbai Indians star Suryakumar Yadav ruled out of IPL 2022 due to injury

On Sunday evening (May 09), the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) locked horns with the Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 55 of IPL 2022, at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai. In what was a crucial game for both sides in a bid to stay alive in the playoffs race, Dhoni &amp; Co. demolished DC by 91 runs courtesy of Devon Conway's 87, the captain's finishing touch with the bat and Moeen Ali's 3 for 13.

Conway, who was playing only his fourth game of the season, continued his merry run ever since he was included back into the playing XI after Dhoni's reappointment as the skipper. The left-hander timed his innings beautifully and stitched an impressive 110-run opening stand with Ruturaj Gaikwad (41). Conway, however, continued from his end to return with a 49-ball 87, laced with seven fours and five sixes at 177.55.

While his timing was immaculate, Conway stepped out of the crease on several occasions, against the spinners, and launched some big hits. Post his match-winning knock, the New Zealand opener credited Dhoni for his useful batting advice. "I have got to give credit to MS tonight," Conway told Star Sports. "In the last game (versus Royal Challengers Bangalore) I swept quite a lot, and I unfortunately got out playing the sweep. And he said to me, 'I think the guys are going to try to bowl fuller to you tonight. So maybe come out and try to hit them straight.' So he sort of gave me the guidelines to try to execute that. That's what I tried to do," he added.

IPL 2022: Devon Conway credits MS Dhoni for DC onslaught, reveals CSK skipper's helpful batting advice

IPL has been a huge hit over the years. The cash-rich league has become a big part of the cricketing calendar and every season is keenly awaited among the ardent cricket fans worldwide. There have been some big names who have led to IPL's resounding success over the years.

Along with the huge success, IPL has also seen some controversies unfold on the 22-yard cricket strip. There have been some heated exchanges among players from time to time. During IPL 2013, Virat Kohli -- the then Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper -- had got involved in an ugly altercation with former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Gautam Gambhir when both sides had met at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on April 11.

Riding on Gambhir's 46-ball 59, KKR set up a decent 155-run target on board for Kohli &amp; Co. In reply, Chris Gayle's 85 off&nbsp;50 balls and Kohli's 35 helped the hosts beat KKR by eight wickets with 15 balls to spare. However, Kohli was sledged after his dismissal, by L Balaji, and soon got involved in a heated exchange with Gambhir as the umpire and KKR players had to step in and interrupt. The altercation made headlines for the entire season.

Then KKR all-rounder Rajat Bhatia had also opened up on the altercation in 2020. "That is something which happened when two aggressive captains played and they always want to give their best and win for their respective teams. Even if they had any kind of collision in that match, it was just a part of the game,” Bhatia told Asianet Newsable.

“Later, I have never seen them (Gambhir and Kohli) fighting. In the heat of the moment, so many things happen. But, it shouldn’t be happening for the worse. And on that day, it was not,” he further added.

In a YouTube video with Jatin Sapru, Gambhir also recently opined on the whole&nbsp;incident. Recalling whatever happened&nbsp;nine years back, he said that it was nothing&nbsp;personal.&nbsp;

"That's why there was nothing personal (then) and there never will be personal against Virat. I say it again and again that what he's achieved, I am not surprised. That's the kind of player he was when we saw him early but what he's transformed into, I think from a fitness point of view and the way he's worked on his skills is tremendous", Gambhir said on the YouTube channel.&nbsp;

At present, Kohli remains involved with the RCB in IPL 2022. Meanwhile, former KKR captain Gambhir is now the team mentor of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

Mumbai Indians (MI) became the first team to be knocked out of the race for playoffs in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 last week after Rajasthan Royals defeated Punjab Kings. MI have managed only two wins in ten matches in what has been a disastrous campaign for them in IPL 2022.&nbsp;

The five-time champions went on a record-breaking losing streak of 8 matches at the start of the season before winning their last two games in a row to regain some lost momentum. While the Rohit Sharma-led side will now be playing for pride, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have everything to play for as they desperately aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive.

Mumbai Indians will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Monday (May 09). It is a must-win game for KKR, who are just one spot above Mumbai Indians on the points table with 8 points from eleven matches so far this season. KKR will be hoping MI don't spoil their party after bowing out of the tournament.

Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPL 2022: Head-to-head, stats, trivia and predicted playing XIs

Umran Malik has been one of the finds of IPL 2022 for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The 22-year-old pacer has taken the season by a storm with his raw pace. He had started the season on an emphatic note and showcased great improvement as the tournament progressed. Umran was consistently clocking over 150 kmph and was rattling batters with his pace.

However, his form has dipped in the last few matches as he has failed to pick up wickets and has been taken to the cleaners. Ahead of his side's clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Sunday (May 08), Umran was wicket-less and had conceded as many as 100 runs in just two matches.&nbsp;

He was expected to bounce back and deliver against RCB but his woeful run continued as the youngster ended up conceding 25 runs in just two overs. He was not allowed to complete his quota of 4 overs as RCB went on to post a strong total of 192 runs on the board in 20 overs.

SRH failed to chase down the target and were bundled out for 125 runs as they lost the game by 67 runs to suffer their fourth defeat in a row. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has issued a warning to Umran following his poor show against RCB and advised him to also focus on the right areas to bowl and not just use his pace.

When asked what should Umran do to get more control on his bowling, Shastri said getting the ball in the right areas and using variations to surprise the batters will help the young pacer improve.&nbsp;

"When someone tells him on his face it's all good to have 156, it's exciting, it's brilliant, we all love it, you have a great future, you're going to play for India very soon. But if you don't get it right that 156 will go for 256 off the bat. And that is exactly what is happening," said Shastri.

"The pace is good, but you got to get it in your mind that you have to get it in the right areas. Otherwise, just hold yourself back and use that space sparingly, to surprise the batter. Those kinds of thoughts should go through your mind," Shastri advised the youngster.

"If you don't get it right, you are going to fetch and fetch big time. It goes off the bat at 250 to 300 knots!" he added warning Umran.

Umran has now gone wicket-less in three matches for SRH this season and has so far picked up 15 wickets in 11 games for the team. While he has averaged 24.26, his economy&nbsp;rate is poor at 9.10. The youngster is still a work in progress and has a long way to go to realise his full potential with the ball.

'156 will go for 256 off the bat': Ravi Shastri issues warning to Umran Malik as RCB thrash SRH in IPL 2022

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) demolished the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 55 of the IPL 2022 edition, on Sunday evening (May 09). Playing at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai, the MS Dhoni-led four-time winners and defending champions Chennai thrashed Delhi by a whopping 91-run margin to attain two valuable points and remain alive in the playoffs race.

Being asked to bat first, CSK rode on Devon Conway's 87, Ruturaj Gaikwad's 41, Shivam Dube's 32 and Dhoni's 8-ball 21* to post 208-6. In reply, Delhi slipped from 72-2 to 99-8 as they were dismissed for 117 in 17.4 overs. During the 17th over of the run-chase, when CSK were firmly in control and on the brink of a big win, tail-ender Anrich Nortje hit a delivery off Maheesh Theeshana, which went towards the cover, with all-rounder Dwayne Bravo stationed there.

As Bravo made a decent effort to dive and stop the ball, skipper Dhoni -- a very close friend of Bravo -- made a hilarious remark which was caught on the stump mic. Dhoni appreciated Bravo's effort and said, "Well done old man."

Talking about Bravo's effort in CSK's huge victory over Pant &amp; Co., the all-rounder was 1 not out and returned with 2 for 24. Courtesy of this performance, CSK remain alive in the playoffs race but have very slim chance of going ahead. They have three more games to go and have to win all of them at any cost.

During the 17th over of the run-chase, when CSK were firmly in control and on the brink of a big win, tail-ender Anrich Nortje hit a delivery off Maheesh Theeshana, which went towards the cover, with all-rounder Dwayne Bravo stationed there. As Bravo made a decent effort to dive and stop the ball, skipper Dhoni -- a very close friend of Bravo -- made a hilarious remark which was caught on the stump mic. Dhoni appreciated Bravo's effort and said, "Well done old man." ALSO READ | Will MS Dhoni play another IPL season? Shoaib Akhtar opens up on CSK skipper's future Talking about Bravo's effort in CSK's huge victory over Pant & Co., the all-rounder was 1 not out and returned with 2 for 24. Courtesy of this performance, CSK remain alive in the playoffs race but have very slim chance of going ahead. They have three more games to go and have to win all of them at any cost.

'Well done old man': MS Dhoni hilariously trolls Dwayne Bravo after his fielding effort during CSK vs DC tie

Match 56 of the IPL 2022 edition will see the two bottom-ranked sides face each other at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai on Monday evening (May 10). Both sides have had a tough ride in the 15th season and, hence, occupy the last two spots in the points table.&nbsp;

Talking about the MI franchise, they became the first team to be out of competition from the playoffs race when Rajasthan Royals (RR) beat Punjab Kings (PBKS), on Saturday (May 07), in match 52 of the 15th season. With nothing to lose and an eye on the future, the Rohit Sharma-led franchise will aim to now play spoilsport to KKR's chances of advancing ahead, who have been a pale shadow of themselves this season.&nbsp;

MI are coming into this fixture on the back of two successive wins, after eight failures on the trot. Beating RR and Gujarat Titans (GT), they will be confident to dent KKR's chances, against whom they enjoy a superior head-to-head record (22-8).&nbsp;

KKR, on the other hand, are coming into this fixture following a whopping 75-run margin defeat at the hands of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Chasing a competitive 177, KKR folded for 101 as their big guns have continued to disappoint with the bat. The bowling department&nbsp;has fared&nbsp;better for the Kolkata franchise but the onus remains on Umesh Yadav (who missed the last match), Tim Southee and Sunil Narine. They don't have a fixed fifth-bowling option, which has been a cause of concern for the two-time winners.

Match prediction for KKR vs MI clash:&nbsp;While KKR are far behind MI in head-to-head, they beat them in the earlier fixture this season. Pat Cummins, Venky Iyer were the star performers and it will be interesting to see if both the benched players will find a place in the playing XI.&nbsp;

Both sides might still prefer to chase despite Delhi Capitals (DC) folding for 117 in pursuit of 209 set by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) last evening. Will MI make it three wins in a row?

MI vs KKR, IPL 2022 prediction today: Who will win Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders match?

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) thrashed Delhi Capitals (DC) by 91 runs to earn a resounding win in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday (May 08). Devon Conway and Moeen Ali starred with the bat and the ball respectively as CSK bagged their fourth win of the season to keep their playoffs hopes alive.

CSK had lost as many as six out of their first eight games in IPL 2022 getting off to a disastrous start before all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja decided to step down from captaincy and hand back the reins to MS Dhoni. Dhoni has since guided the defending champions to two wins in three games and has been marshalling his troops to perfection once again.

However, CSK's chances of making it to the playoffs still hang by a thread as they only have eight points in eleven games so far this season. They have three matches remaining in the competition and can reach a maximum of 14 points if they manage to win all three games. However, 14 points might not be enough to see them qualify for the top four.

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals both have 14 points each so far in the tournament and if both teams manage to win one game each, CSK will be knocked out of the tournament. Following their dominant win over DC on Sunday, CSK skipper Dhoni was asked about his team's chances of making it to the playoffs this season.

Dhoni, who is one of the most successful captains in the history of IPL, gave a cheeky response and said he is not a big fan of maths since his school days. Dhoni said he would like CSK to take one game at a time and advised the players to enjoy themselves rather than worrying about the permutation and combination.

"One (game) at a time is good enough. I am not a big fan of maths. Even in school, I wasn't good at maths. You write your own fortune," said the CSK skipper.

"What is important is to always be at your best. No point thinking as to this team needs to beat some other team, run rate ... it just adds pressure. Just turn up for your game, plan well, execute your plans, look to win the game and enjoy the rest of the IPL matches. You don't want to take pressure. Two other franchises are playing and you are under pressure. Enjoy the IPL; it's good. If it happens, it happens," he added.

Dhoni also stated that it won't be the end of the world for CSK if they fail to qualify for the playoffs this season and that the four-time champions should rather look at finalising the combinations while keeping the next season in mind. Dhoni believes the remaining three matches in IPL 2022 can be an opportunity for CSK to identify players for next season.

"What's more important is to make the most of the three games. See what are the combinations that really work, who can feature at what positions. Start planning for next year. If you qualify for the playoffs, very good. But if not, not the end of the world," said the CSK skipper.

CSK will face Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals in their remaining three matches of the season.

'Not a big fan of maths': MS Dhoni gives cheeky response on CSK's chances of qualifying for IPL 2022 playoffs

MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Delhi Capitals (DC) by a whopping 91-run margin in match 55 of IPL 2022 edition, on Sunday evening (May 08), at the DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai. With this big victory, the four-time winners and defending champions Chennai remain alive in the playoffs race, however, they have a very slim chance of moving forward.

While Dhoni had relinquished CSK captaincy at the beginning of the season, handing it to all-rounder Ravindra Jadjea, he was requested to lead again after the latter resigned following Yellow Army's eight encounters this season. Recently, the 40-year-old Dhoni was asked about his IPL future by Danny Morrison. To this, he dodged the question by saying, "You will definitely see me in the yellow jersey.&nbsp;Whether it is this yellow jersey or some other yellow jersey, you will have to wait and watch."

Thus, Dhoni continues to keep mum on his IPL future. While many had thought this would be his last season after he gave up captaincy, now people remain perplexed and clueless regarding the superstar cricketer's IPL future.

In this regard, Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar told Sportskeeda, "He is MS Dhoni. Can’t really predict what he does. He can do any odd stuff. He is known for doing that. He’s a great guy. We all love him and respect him. Personally, though, I reckon he will play another season before he calls it a day. Or again, he might be part of the management."

Akhtar also added that franchises need to now have an eye on the future which comprise of many players on the last lap of their respective careers. "Franchises need to start looking beyond players like Dhoni and Kohli. Of course, there is the star factor and emotional bonding with the two big names. But this is a cruel world. Teams need to look ahead and explore options," he added.

IPL 2022: Updated points table after Lucknow Super Giants beat Kolkata Knight Riders

Quinton de Kock laid the platform with a commanding fifty and his pacers then terrorised Kolkata Knight Riders to record a crushing 75-run victory for Lucknow Super Giants which put them on top of the table with an IPL play-off berth being a formality now.

For last year's runners-up KKR, eight points from 11 games with a deflating negative run-rate now puts them closer to the exit door with lacklustre performance and unimaginative captaincy combining for what has turned out to be a disastrous season so far.

Invited to bat, De Kock slammed a 29-ball-50 but Lucknow almost frittered away a solid start before some lusty hitting in a 30-run penultimate over off Shivam Mavi took them to 176 for 7.

The LSG bowlers then raised to the occasion to bundle out KKR for 101 in 14.3 overs, despite the heroics of Andre Russell (45 off 19 balls) to gather two crucial points and take their overall total to 16 points in the IPL standing.

KKR remained at the 8th spot after suffering their 7th loss in 11 games.

Defending 177, LSG left KKR tottering at 25 for four with four bowlers picking up their first wickets.

While Mohsin produced a wicket-maiden to get rid of Baba Indrajith, Chameera sent back Shreyas Iyer after rattling him with a short and quick delivery.

It has now been an all too familiar script for KKR skipper whose discomfort while facing quick bouncers is well-documented and national coach Rahul Dravid would only be worried with this glaring technical deficiency.

Aaron Finch too perished as his miscued pull was poached by de Kock as KKR slipped to 23 for 3 in the first six overs.

Nitish Rana was then cleaned up by Avesh Khan with a yorker as KKR looked down the barrels.

Russell then used his brute force to hit Holder all across the park. One was whacked at midwicket for a maximum, the second one was slapped to deep, while a flat-batted pull earned him another six and the last one was a four over short third.

After amassing 25 off the Holder over, Russell produced another maximum off Ravi Bishnoi as KKR reached 64 for 4 in 10 overs.

He and Sunil Narine (22 off 12) produced a small partnership but once Russell was out to Avesh Khan in the 13th over, it became a downward slide for KKR as they folded in 14.3 overs.

Avesh and Holder returned with three wickets each.

Earlier, De Kock, who was involved in a terrible mix up with skipper KL Rahul, who got a 'Diamond Duck' (out for 0 without facing a ball), redeemed himself with an innings studded with four boundaries and three maximums.

He added 71 with Deepak Hooda (41 off 27 balls) to give LSG a good start after being invited to bat. 
Hooda made up for the loss of Rahul's with his back to-back boundaries over extra cover off Shivam

Mavi (1/50 in 4 overs), while De Kock too joined in with a special treatment to Tim Southee, clobbering him for two fours and a six in the 3rd over.

Left-arm spinner Anukul Roy and pacer Harshit Rana were next in line as De Kock smashed the former for a four before lunching into the latter for a four and two sixes to take LSG to their best score in the powerplays this season, a 66 for one.

De Kock, however, couldn't stay much longer as he was holed out in deep only two balls after completing his fifty.

Hooda, who hit four boundariers and two sixes in his entertaining 27-ball knock tat took LSG past 100-run mark before falling to a Andre Russell delivery with his miscued pull ending in safe hands of skipper Shreyas Iyer.

Krunal Pandya then tried to keep the run-rate high and slammed two fours before ending at the hands of Aaron Finch at deep point.

The decision to promote Ayush Badoni (15 not out off 18) didn't bear result as the young Delhi batter was under pressue after a quiet over and couldn't find his rhythm with runs drying up between 12th to 16th over.

However, Marcus Stoinis (28 off 14 balls) changed things when he clobbered Mavi for three successive sixes before holing out. However, new man Jason Holder (13 off 4 balls) slammed the next two balls for two more maximums as the 19th over yielded 30 runs for LSG.

In the bowling front, KKR missed the experience of Umesh Yadav, who missed out due to a muscle pull, with Hooda and de Kock going hammer and tongs early on.

However, Andrew Russell (2/22) was rewarded for bowling back of length, while Sunil Narine (20/1) and Tim Southee (1/28) also kept things tight but the rest of bowlers bled plenty in their stipulated overs.

Hooda, who hit four boundariers and two sixes in his entertaining 27-ball knock tat took LSG past 100-run mark before falling to a Andre Russell delivery with his miscued pull ending in safe hands of skipper Shreyas Iyer. Krunal Pandya then tried to keep the run-rate high and slammed two fours before ending at the hands of Aaron Finch at deep point. Also read | IPL 2022: Chahal becomes second bowler after Malinga to achieve massive feat The decision to promote Ayush Badoni (15 not out off 18) didn't bear result as the young Delhi batter was under pressue after a quiet over and couldn't find his rhythm with runs drying up between 12th to 16th over. However, Marcus Stoinis (28 off 14 balls) changed things when he clobbered Mavi for three successive sixes before holing out. However, new man Jason Holder (13 off 4 balls) slammed the next two balls for two more maximums as the 19th over yielded 30 runs for LSG. In the bowling front, KKR missed the experience of Umesh Yadav, who missed out due to a muscle pull, with Hooda and de Kock going hammer and tongs early on. However, Andrew Russell (2/22) was rewarded for bowling back of length, while Sunil Narine (20/1) and Tim Southee (1/28) also kept things tight but the rest of bowlers bled plenty in their stipulated overs.

IPL 2022: Lucknow Super Giants inch towards playoffs with win over Kolkata Knight Riders

Devon Conway's blazing blade and Moeen Ali's effective off-breaks beautifully complemented each other as Chennai Super Kings outclassed Delhi Capitals in every department of the game, winning their IPL match by a comprehensive 91-run margin.

Put in to bat, Conway completed a hat-trick of half-centuries with a superb 87 off 49 balls to set up a winning score of 208 for 6 in 20 overs.

The scoreboard pressure was always mounting on Capitals as they finally managed 117 in 17.4 overs with Moeen (3/13 in 4 overs) taking wickets of Mitchell Marsh (25 off 20 balls) and skipper Rishabh Pant (21 off 11 balls) in quick succession to finish the contest.

Mukesh Choudhary (2/22 in 4 overs), Simarjeet Singh (2/27 in 4 overs) and Dwayne Bravo (2/24 in 2.3 overs) then completed the formalities as CSK are now up to eight points from 11 games and can earn a maximum of 14 points if they win their remaining three games, which unfortunately doesn't look like being enough for play-off qualification.

Delhi Capitals remain on fifth position with 10 points and will now need to win all three remaining games and also expect a few other results to favour them if they harbour any hopes of qualification.

What has been a major issue with DC's 2022 performance is lack of consistency. There are days when they are brilliant and then on other days less than ordinary with inept performances.

KS Bharat (8 off 5 balls) was playing his first game and can be excused but the likes of Mitchell Marsh and Rishabh Pant have hardly done anything of note during the season and even 209 isn't a chaseable total eight out of 10 times, there wasn't a semblance of fight.

Pant was dismissed while trying to play against the turn while Marsh was holed out in the deep. By the time Rovman Powell was gone, the match was as good as over.

In fact, the track that looked as flat as a highway suddenly became difficult for strokeplay in the second half.

But when Conway was batting, it seemed like a walk in the park for CSK.

He hit seven fours and five sixes and also added 110 for the opening wicket with Ruturaj Gaikwad (41 off 33 balls) to lay the foundation for a big score.

Conway added another 59 runs for the second wicket with Shivam Dube (32 off 19 balls) before MS Dhoni (21 no off 8 balls) added insult to DC's injuries at the fag end.

The South Africa-born New Zealander has been one of the key players for an ageing CSK side in transition and has responded nicely to captain Dhoni's call of being a like-for-like replacement of Faf du Plessis.

What makes Conway a standout performer among most overseas recruits is his mastery over spinners which is an absolute must to be a consistent success in IPL.

Whether CSK make it to play-off this time or not, Conway in all likelihood will be serving the franchise for the next five years at least.

Along with Gaikwad, Conway showed how aesthetically pleasing stroke-play can destroy the confidence of rival bowlers.

There weren't any lap-scoops, switch hits, reverse flicks but shots within the 'V' with immaculate use of feet wile negotiating the spinners. It did help that DY Patil Stadium track resembled a highway due to its flat nature.

Kuldeep Yadav's (3-0-43-0) length was completely in disarray as Conway repeatedly came down the ground to loft the deliveries with disdain.

IPL 2022: Devon Conway, Moeen Ali shine in big CSK victory over Delhi Capitals

Devon Conway has been enjoying a good run of form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and the Chennai Super Kings opener continued to impress as he scored a half century against Delhi Capitals on Sunday. This was the third consecutive fifty for the New Zealand international.

Conway ended his innings on 87 off 49 deliveries with the help of seven boundaries and five sixes.

Thanks to this half century, Conway became the third cricketer ever to score three back-to-back fifties for CSK after Faf du Plessis and opening partner Ruturaj Gaikwad. Gaikwad achieved the feat in 2020 while the current Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper du Plessis achieved it in 2021.

Conway, who was picked in the mega auction for INR 10 million, did not perform well towards the start of the tournament. But, in the last two matches, he has scored an unbeaten 85 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and he followed it up with a 56 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

IPL 2022: Devon Conway joins Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis in elite list with fifty for CSK against DC

Spinner Wanindu Hasaranga picked up a five-wicket haul after skipper Faf du Plessis' impactful half-century as Royal Challengers recorded a 67-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad to boost their play-off hopes in the IPL here on Sunday.

Opting to bat on a slow surface, du Plessis led from the front with a 50-ball 73 not out, while Dinesh Karthik (eight-ball 30 not out) provided the late flourish as RCB overcame an anxious start to post 192/3.

In response, Sunrisers Hyderabad were skittled out for 125 to crash to their fourth loss on the trot as Hasaranga stymied their chase with figures of 4-1-18-5.

The win also avenged their shocking nine-wicket loss to Hyderabad in the first leg at the Brabourne where Bangalore had collapsed to 68 allout.

Making amend for a sloppy outing on the field, Hasaranga cleverly used his wrong ones and derailed their chase in the middle overs with wickets of the hardhitting Nicholas Pooran and Jagadeesha Suchith in successive overs.

The Lankan then ended his spell in style with a double-wicket maiden, dismissing Shashank Singh and Umran Malik in successive deliveries to virtually seal it for Bangalore.

With this, he became the second bowler after Yuzvendra Chahal to get past the 20-wicket mark in the IPL. Hasaranga is now one wicket shy of current Purple Cap holder Chahal's tally of 22.

Hyderabad No 3 Rahul Tripathi made a fine 58 to keep them in the hunt but Josh Hazlewood (2/17) dismissed him and followed it up with the wicket of Kartik Tyagi next ball.

For Bangalore, it was their second win in a row, coming on the back of a hattrick of defeats as they firmed up their place inside top-four.

Likewise Bangalore, Hyderabad too had a jittery start and went on to lose two wickets in the first over in their tall chase of 193.

Like Kohli, Williamson also went for a golden duck in a rare instance -- only third in IPL -- that a wicket fell on the first ball of both the innings.

Earlier, Du Plessis slammed eight boundaries and two sixes en route to his third fifty this season and seized the initiative after he lost his opening partner Virat Kohli.

The South African veteran along with Rajat Patidar (48 in 38 balls; 4x4, 2x6) laid a solid foundation with a 105-run second wicket partnership off 73 balls.

But Hyderabad bowlers led by spinner Jagadeesha Suchith (2/30) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (0/34) slowed things a bit in the middle overs before Dinesh Karthik gave a last-over flourish (25 runs) to prop up the total.

Making full use of a reprieve by Rahul Tripathi in the third ball of the final over, the Indian experienced wicketkeeper-batter went on to make a quickfire eight-ball 30 not out.

He smashed four sixes, three of them coming in succession followed by a boundary in the last over against Afghanistan debutant Fazalhaq Farooqi, en route to his entertaining cameo.

Hyderabad had their solitary moment of glory, the very first ball of the game when Kohli (0) got out for a third golden duck this season, sixth overall in IPL. This was also his second golden duck against the same team season.

Enduring his worst-ever IPL -- 216 runs from 12 innings at 19.6 -- Kohli had one soft dismissal off a Suchith half volley drifting onto his pads, and the star batter managed to flick it straight to Williamson at short midwicket.

It was all about RCB thereafter as Du Plessis and the young Patidar seized the momentum with their counter-attacking approach.

Hyderabad young speed merchant Umran Malik bowled back of the length on what was a slow pitch and the batters had all the time on offer to take him to cleaners in his first over that yielded 20 runs.

Well-settled Patidar however missed his fifty by two runs becoming Suchith's second victim, miscuing one in the 13th over.

IPL 2022: Faf Du Plessis, Wanindu Hasaranga set up RCB's massive victory over SRH

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) superstar Virat Kohli's horrendous run with the willow continued in his side's clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday (May 08). Kohli was dismissed on a golden duck once again as he failed to open his account against the Kane Williamson-led side.

Kohli opened the innings with skipper Faf du Plessis after RCB won the toss and opted to bat first at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The batting maestro was sent packing on the very first ball he faced from spinner Jagadeesha Suchith after getting caught by Williamson.

It was Kohli's third duck in the ongoing IPL 2022 and second against SRH this season. A dejected Kohli was spotted being consoled by RCB batting coach Sanjay Bangar in the dressing room after yet another poor outing in the ongoing season. The video of Bangar consoling Kohli has gone viral on social media.

Kohli, who is RCB's most expensive player, has managed just 216 runs in 12 matches this season at a shambolic average of just over 19 and a strike rate of 111.34, which is below-par by his standards. Kohli had given up RCB's captaincy ahead of the start of the season and was expected to bat freely without the burden of leading the side.

WATCH: RCB batting coach Sanjay Bangar consoles Virat Kohli after golden duck vs SRH, video goes viral

Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw will be missing the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 encounter against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday after he was hospitalised with intense fever.

Shaw posted a picture of himself in the hospital on Instagram with the caption – "Admitted in hospital and recovering from fever. Thank you all for your good wishes. Will be back in action soon”.

Shah did not take part in their previous IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and according to the ESPNCricinfo report, the intense fever was the reason why he was removed from the DC bio-bubble.

IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw admitted to hospital with intense fever ahead of CSK clash

Dinesh Karthik has cemented his position as the finisher for Royal Challengers Bangalore in this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and the veteran wicketkeeper batsman was once again at his destructive best as he slammed 30 off just 8 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday.

Karthik did miss a couple of deliveries at the start of his innings and his trademark stroke play was in full display as he launched Kartik Tyagi for a mammoth six over mid-wicket on the final ball of the 19th over.

However, the best part of his quickfire innings came against Fazalhaq Farooqi.

The left-arm pacer from Afghanistan was taken to the cleaners in the final over of the RCB innings as Karthik ended up scoring 22 runs in the final four deliveries. On the third ball of the over, Karthik slammed it straight to Rahul Tripathi at mid-wicket but the ball bounced out of his hands and dropped right on the advertisement covers to hand Karthik the first six of the over.

The next ball was a fullish length delivery and Karthik rocked back into the crease to loft it into the stands for another boundary. The penultimate delivery was met with a very similar fate as Karthik looked in fine touch and once again, the ball was deposited straight into the mid-wicket boundary.

IPL 2022: 22 runs in 4 balls! Dinesh Karthik plays a blinder for RCB against SRH - WATCH

Virat Kohli has had a forgetful campaign in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as he continues to struggle with the willow. The former RCB captain has been far from his best with the bat and has managed just one half-century so far this season. Expectations were high from Kohli ahead of the start of the season, however, he has failed to deliver despite being promoted as an opener in the batting line-up.

With no captaincy burden on his shoulders, Kohli would have hoped to pile on runs for RCB this season. However, he has a string of low-key scores in RCB's last few matches and has failed to get his team off to good starts at the top. He has so far scored only 216 runs in 11 matches this season at an average of 21.60 and a poor strike rate of just over 111.

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar recently gave his take on Kohli's lean patch this season and said the RCB stalwart seems under pressure and is finding new ways to get out in IPL 2022. However, Akhtar backed Kohli to bounce back and urged him to just look at enjoying his game.

“Kohli is a great player. He has got nothing to prove. But he is finding new ways to get out because he is under pressure. He is trying too hard. He just needs to go out there and enjoy the game. Legends like Virat Kohli know how to make a comeback. But the world is pushing him down to his knees,” Akhtar was quoted as&nbsp;saying by&nbsp;Sportskeeda.

On Sunday (May 08), Kohli's disastrous run with the willow continued as RCB locked horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The batting maestro, who is the leading run-getter of all time in IPL history, was sent back on a Golden Duck on the very first ball of the match.

Kohli was caught by SRH skipper Kane Williamson off the bowling of Jagadeesha Suchith without managing to open his account once again this season. However, RCB staged a brilliant recovery after Kohli's cheap dismissal as skipper Faf du Plessis (73) combined with the likes of Rajat Patidar (48), Glenn Maxwell (33) and Dinesh Karthik (30) to help the team post 192 runs on the board in 20 overs.

IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals squad in isolation after another COVID-19 case detected in their camp - Report

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be aiming to return to winning ways when they lock horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match no. 52 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday (May 07). RR had started the season on a superb note and entered the top four with a hat-trick of wins before faltering to two consecutive defeats in their last two games.

The Sanju Samson-led suffered a five-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians, handing them their first win of the season before going down against Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets in their last outing. They will be desperate to bring an end to the losing streak and grab another two points to move up on the points table.

RR have ridden on the individual brilliance of the likes of Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal so far this season. However, the duo's failures in the last two games resulted in crushing defeats for Samson &amp; Co., who will be hoping others can also contribute and propel them to a much-needed victory on Saturday.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings have been far from consistent this season. With five wins and as mah defeats in their first ten matches, they are well in contention to qualify for the playoffs. However, Mayank Agarwal &amp; Co. are yet to win two matches on the trot this season and will be looking to do that against RR on Saturday.

Punjab Kings stunned table-toppers Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets in their last game and have momentum going their way as the season moves towards its business end. While Kagiso Rabada has been brilliant with the ball, the likes of Liam Livingstone, Shikhar Dhawan and Bhanuka Rajapaksa have carried Punjab's batting this season.

Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals (PBKS vs RR), IPL 2022 today match prediction:

Rajasthan Royals' season has so far been heavily dependent on the forms of their stars Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal with the bat and ball respectively. Their middle-order hasn't been tested much while pacers have struggled to take wickets regularly. If Punjab Kings can exploit the galring weaknesses in RR line-up, they will come out on top against Samson &amp; Co. at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.

If Punjab Kings can exploit the galring weaknesses in RR line-up, they will come out on top against Samson & Co. at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.

PBKS vs RR, IPL 2022 today match prediction: Who will win Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals clash?

Jos Buttler has been the star for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as the England international added another major accolade to his already illustrious career.

IPL 2022: Jos Buttler becomes first Rajasthan Royals batsman to reach impressive milestone

Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six wickets on Saturday to confirm Mumbai Indians' (MI) exit from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Rohit Sharma-led MI have become the first team to be knocked out of the IPL this season after a disastrous start to their campaign.

MI lost a record eight matches in a row at the start of the season - most by any team in the history of the competition which was enough to derail their campaign as they find themselves out of the race for a spot in the top four. The five-time champions still have four games in hand but cannot make it to the playoffs in any case.

Rajasthan Royals' win over Punjab Kings on Saturday means the Sanju Samson-led side now has 14 points from eleven games this season. RR are the third team after table-toppers Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants to reach the tally of 14 points which confirms MI's exit as even if Rohit &amp; Co. manage to win their remaining four matches, they can only acquire a maximum of 12 points.

12 points won't be enough for Mumbai Indians to finish in&nbsp;the top four as their campaign in the league comes to a disappointing end with eight losses and just two wins in ten matches so far. The five-time champions have now missed out on a spot in the top four for two seasons in a row.

Mumbai Indians' auction strategy came back to haunt them this season as the likes of Tymal Mills, Tim David and Ishan Kishan all failed to perform up to the expectations. Kishan had a great start to the season but runs dried up as the tournament progressed.

MI's bowling attack was found wanted as Jasprit Bumrah lacked a partner in the pace attack with the like of Mills, Daniel Sams and Unadkat failing to deliver. While Sams seems to have found some much-needed confidence now, it is too late for MI to save their season.

The poor form of skipper Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Kieron Pollard also played a huge role in MI's downfall as the two stalwarts failed to perform consistently with the bat. Mumbai Indians have four games remaining in the season and will hope to finish the season on a high with some wins behind their back.

IPL 2022: Rajasthan Royals register comprehensive victory against Punjab Kings

Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal marked his return to Rajasthan Royals` playing eleven with a scintillating 68 while Shimron Hetmyer exhibited his finishing exploits in an unbeaten 31 to help the side defeat Punjab Kings by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.

After Jonny Bairstow`s 58 and Jitesh Sharma`s unbeaten 38 took Punjab to 189/5, Jaiswal shined in his comeback match of the tournament. Despite Devdutt Padikkal struggling to get going, Hetmyer ensured that Rajasthan chased down the total to successfully break their two-match losing streak and keep themselves in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs.

Jaiswal began by slamming two fours through cuts in the off-side and a glorious picked-up six over deep square leg. Jos Buttler joined the attacking party in the fourth over, launching Kagiso Rabada for a six over deep midwicket. He followed it up with three fours -- carving one through extra cover, a lap-pull over short fine leg while in air and smoked through cover. But Rabada had the last laugh, having an over-improvising Buttler caught at short third man.

Sanju Samson took over the attacking mantle after Buttler`s fall, finding luck in getting fours through edges twice while nailing other boundaries with sheer timing through point and cover. But his stay at the crease ended when he miscued to long-off off Rishi Dhawan.

Jaiswal, meanwhile, continued with his charge, heaving a four over Sandeep Sharma`s head and produced a stunning inside-out lofted six over extra cover off Rahul Chahar. Sharma came under from Jaiswal again when he carted back-to-back fours -- slapping over long-off and playing a silken late cut through third man.

Jaiswal reached his maiden fifty of the tournament in 33 balls. He then followed it up with three fours off Dhawan in the 13th over -- a smack over long-on, scoop flying over short third man and nailing drive past cover. After taking another four through reverse sweep off Chahar, Jaiswal tried to take over Arshdeep Singh but holed out to long-off, breaking the 56-run stand.

With 47 runs needed off the last five overs, Shimron Hetmyer clipped Rabada through fine leg and cracked successive boundaries in the arc between mid-wicket and long-on. Hetmyer and Padikkal took four and six respectively off Rabada to make the equation really easy for Rajasthan.

Arshdeep nailed his yorkers in a top-class 19th over and got Padikkal out with a low full toss chipped to cover. Hetmyer dispatched Chahar for a six over wide long-on and finished off the chase with a single in the same region to seal Rajasthan`s first win of the tournament in a chase.

Lucknow Super Giants will be looking to claim the top spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 points table while it is a battle of redemption for Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday.

Head-to-head

This will be the first encounter between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Stats

Trivia

LSG skipper KL Rahul has been enjoying a brilliant run of form in this year’s competition and with two centuries, he is second in the top-scorers list. Against KKR, he will have the chance to add a brilliant feat to his name as he is 49 runs away from getting 500 runs for the 5th consecutive season.

On the other hand, the opening partnership has been a serious point of concern for KKR as the Shreyas Iyer-led side has not registered a single 50-plus opening stand this year.

Lucknow Super Giants: Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul, Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, Jason Holder, Dushmatha Chameera, Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi

Trivia LSG skipper KL Rahul has been enjoying a brilliant run of form in this year’s competition and with two centuries, he is second in the top-scorers list. Against KKR, he will have the chance to add a brilliant feat to his name as he is 49 runs away from getting 500 runs for the 5th consecutive season. On the other hand, the opening partnership has been a serious point of concern for KKR as the Shreyas Iyer-led side has not registered a single 50-plus opening stand this year.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPL 2022: Head-to-head, stats, trivia and predicted XIs

Mumbai Indians' (MI) struggles have been well documented in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. The five-time champions have managed just two wins in ten matches so far this season and are currently lying at the bottom of the table with their playoffs hopes already quashed.

While the form of their openers and their struggling bowling attack have been among the biggest concerns for MI this season, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. have also suffered due to the woeful form of star all-rounder Kieron Pollard. Pollard has been abysmal with both the bat and the ball failing to make an impact for his team.

The West Indies all-rounder, who has been one of MI's longest servants and has only played for the five-time champions in his IPL career so far, has not been among the runs and has bowled occasionally. In MI's last game against Gujarat Titans on Friday, Pollard managed only 4 runs off 14 balls after coming out to bat at number 5.

If not for Tim David's quickfire 44 off 21 balls, Pollard's inability to rotate the strike could have cost MI the game. David's cameo helped MI post 177 runs on the board in 20 overs and win the game by 5 runs to bag their second win of the season. Amid Pollard's poor run, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has made a bold claim on the all-rounder's future in the remainder of the season.

Chopra believes Pollard's IPL 2022 campaign is now over and that the West Indies all-rounder will not play again for Mumbai Indians this season. Chopra said Pollard can make way for young Dewald Brevis, who had impressed for MI in his first few games this season.

"Tilak Varma got run out but before that Kieron Pollard got out. That's an interesting one, I feel Kieron Pollard will not play any further this year, that's it, they won't play him anymore because Dewald Brevis is sitting outside and Tim David is doing well," Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel.

"Don't know why they didn't play a punt on Tim David earlier. They had kept this six-hitting machine sitting outside for a long time. Now they have remembered that they should play him and he has not disappointed them even once since they have played him, match-winning knocks coming at the end," he added.

In ten matches so far in IPL 2022, Pollard has only managed 129 runs at an abysmal average of 14.33 and a strike rate of just 109.32. With Mumbai Indians already out of the race for the playoffs, it remains to be seen if the five-time chamions will drop the West Indies stalwart to give a chance to others in the squad.
