David Warner and Rovman Powell played sensational knocks to help Delhi Capitals (DC) thrash Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 21 runs in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Thursday (May 05). Warner slammed an unbeaten 92 off just 58 balls while Powell played a quickfire knock of 35-ball 67 to help DC post a strong total of 207 runs on the board and register a comfortable win.

Asked to bat first at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, DC got off to a poor start as they lost opener Mandeep Singh on a duck before Mitchell Marsh was also sent packing cheaply on just 10 off 7 balls. However, Warner continued his terrific run with the willow on one end and combined with skipper Rishabh Pant (26) to add 48 runs for the third wicket.

After Pant's departure, Powell joined Warner in the middle and the duo took the SRH bowlers to the cleaners. In a clinical display of power-hitting, the duo went all guns blazing to help DC cross the 200-run mark. Warner was just 8 runs away from completing his century before the start of the 20th over during DC's innings.

However, Powell was on the strike at the start of the over. The West Indies all-rounder revealed he had asked Warner if he wanted him to take a single and give the Aussie star the strike to complete his hundred. Warner denied taking a single and urged Powell to go all out in the final over.

“At the start of the over, I asked, ‘do you want a single to try and get a hundred?’ He said, ‘Listen, that is not how the cricket is played. You should try to smack as far as you can,’ and I did that,” Powell told Star Sports after the game.

Warner could have easily taken the strike and tried to complete his century off the next five balls. However, he let Powell keep the strike. The West Indies all-rounder didn't disappoint and took 19 runs off the 20th over which was bowled by Umran Malik.

Khaleel Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers for Delhi Capitals as he picked up a three-wicket haul while Shardul Thakur bagged two wickets to help their team defend the total of 207 runs and bag their fifth win of the season. Delhi Capitals are currently placed fifth on the points table with five wins and as many losses in ten games.

IPL 2022: Powell reveals Warner's response when asked if he wanted a single to get to his 100 in 20th over

All eyes were on David Warner as the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) locked horns with the one-time winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match 50 of the IPL 2022 edition, on Thursday evening (May 05), at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.&nbsp;

Playing against his old franchise SRH, many thought that the Aussie opener would be&nbsp;desperate to make a big mark versus the Orange Army. In last year's edition, Warner was removed&nbsp;from SRH captaincy and later dropped&nbsp;from the playing XI&nbsp;before being released&nbsp;prior to IPL 2022 mega auction. The Aussie didn't disappoint as he led the charge with the willow after Kane Williamson-led SRH opted to bowl first on Thursday evening.&nbsp;

Losing opener Mandeep Singh and Mitchell Marsh early, Warner stitched a valuable third-wicket stand with captain Pant (26) before he and Rovman Powell (35-ball 67 not out) propelled DC to a mammoth 207/3 in 20 overs. While Powell made heads turn in the death overs, ending with a strike rate of 191.43 with 6 sixes and 3 fours, Warner top-scored with a majestic 92 not out (off 58 deliveries, striking at 158.62). He took his time, played his shots in all parts of the ground and brought on some cheeky strokes as well to remain not out and overtake Universe Boss Chris Gayle in an elite list.

With another fifty, Warner now has most half-centuries in T20 cricket. Here's the top-five:

David Warner 89*

Chris Gayle 88

Virat Kohli 77

Aaron Finch 70

Riding on Warner and Powell's strokeplay, DC will like to beat SRH and add two more vital points in their kitty.

DC vs SRH: David Warner's 92* takes him to an elite list, overtakes Chris Gayle to have most T20 fifties

Umran Malik has been a sensation in IPL 2022. On Thursday evening (May 05), when the Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) locked horns with the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, in match 50 of IPL 2022, the speedster created history by bettering his own record as he bowled the fastest delivery of the 15th season, clocking an unbelievable 157 kmph.&nbsp;

For the unversed, Umran had made heads turn when he bowled a searing yorker to MS Dhoni at 154 kmph in SRH's previous encounter versus the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), in Pune on May 1 (Sunday). While Umran has made a habit of clocking over 150 at regular intervals this season, he has also churned out 15 scalps in 10 games. However, he was punished severely by DC opener David Warner on Thursday evening, as the Aussie opener smashed 21 off his over in the powerplay.

Umran had already hit 154.8 kmph in match 50. However, he was breathing fire in the final over which was&nbsp;full of pace.&nbsp;He clocked 156 and 157 kmph in back-to-back deliveries and, thus, created history. Despite his unmatched pace, the 22-year-old young pacer returned wicketless, 4-0-52-0, as SRH bowlers were punished by the DC batters. Riding on David Warner's 92 not out and Rovman Powell's 67*, DC posted a mammoth 207-3 in 20 overs as SRH are in a spot of bother in the tall run-chase at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.

Umran, who was a net bowler for Team India in their 2021 T20 World Cup campaign, has been very successful in IPL 2022 under the guidance of Dale Steyn. He remains a regular for the Hyderabad franchise and will be desperate to take the one-time winners to the playoffs this season. He has already been hailed and heavily praised by many former cricketers who have also urged Indian selectors to rope him in India's squad for the forthcoming home T20Is versus South Africa.

DC vs SRH: UNBELIEVABLE! Umran Malik bowls fastest delivery of IPL 2022, clocks 157 kmph

Match 50 of IPL 2022 edition saw the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) lock horns with the Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Both sides were coming into this fixture on the back of a defeat each. However, DC emerged on top as SRH succumbed to their third straight defeat as the playoffs race heats up.

Opting to bowl first, SRH removed Mandeep Singh -- playing for an injured Prithvi Shaw -- and Mitchell Marsh in no time as Bhuvneshwar Kumar applied pressure with his tight bowling. Opener David Warner (92*), playing his first game versus SRH since being released by the Orange Army last year, led the charge. He initially stitched a handy partnership with skipper Rishabh Pant (26) before Rovman Powell (67 not out) joined him and the duo tormented the SRH bowlers in the death overs. As a result, DC posted a mammoth 207-3 in 20 overs.

Updated IPL 2022 points table after Delhi Capitals versus Sunrisers Hyderabad clash

The cricketing action will continue as IPL 2022 edition's match 50 will see the one-time winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) lock horns with the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) on Thursday evening (May 05), at the&nbsp;Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.

With each passing day, the playoffs race is heating up. Both SRH and DC are in contention for the playoffs. Nonetheless, they cannot afford to let loose as the bottom-lying teams have started to cause a few upsets. Talking about the SRH camp, they have won five encounters out of nine. On the other hand, the Delhi franchise have had a topsy-turvy ride from the beginning of the season and have four victories from an equal number of games. Thus, two points separate both teams at present.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Both sides are also coming into this fixture on the back of a defeat each. While Delhi's concerns have been their batting depth and too much dependence on Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed. Overall, they also need more consistency from their big guns such as Rishabh, Mitchell Marsh, Shardul Thakur, Mustafizur Rahman. SRH will also want more from their batters, as they have also been more reliant on Abhishek Sharma whereas skipper Kane has only one fifty this season. Rahul Tripathy, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran will be desperate to remain consistent as the tournament is in a very crunch phase.

DC vs SRH, IPL 2022 prediction today: Who will win Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match?

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bounced back to winning ways as MS Dhoni made his return as captain of the side against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday. Dhoni took over captaincy once again after Ravindra Jadeja decided to step down from his post following CSK's disastrous run in the tournament.

CSK rode on brilliant knocks from Ruturaj Gaikwad (99) and Devon Conway (85*) to post a strong total of 202 runs on the board and went on to defend the total successfully to bag their third win of the season. It was CSK's first win under Dhoni after his return as captain of the side this season.

The atmosphere was electric at the MCA Stadium in Pune as CSK fans thronged the stadium in huge numbers to see Dhoni return as skipper of the four-time champions. Dhoni had received a huge reception from the fans when he walked out to bat at number three after the dismissal of Gaikwad during CSK's innings.

The cheers didn't die down even when CSK were out on the field defending the 203-run target during SRH's run chase. SRH superstar Nicholas Pooran was left in awe of the unreal love that Dhoni gets from his fans across India. The West Indies batter said it was one of the moments he would never forget in his career.

Pooran shared a picture of him having a chat with Dhoni on Instagram after the game and wrote - "It’s absolutely electrifying when this guy is in the stadium, the love for him is unreal, Pune was on fire for him. Definitely one memory in my career I’ll always remember."

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bounced back to winning ways as MS Dhoni made his return as captain of the side against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bounced back to winning ways as MS Dhoni made his return as captain of the side against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday. Dhoni took over captaincy once again after Ravindra Jadeja decided to step down from his post following CSK's disastrous run in the tournament. CSK rode on brilliant knocks from Ruturaj Gaikwad (99) and Devon Conway (85*) to post a strong total of 202 runs on the board and went on to defend the total successfully to bag their third win of the season. It was CSK's first win under Dhoni after his return as captain of the side this season. The atmosphere was electric at the MCA Stadium in Pune as CSK fans thronged the stadium in huge numbers to see Dhoni return as skipper of the four-time champions. Dhoni had received a huge reception from the fans when he walked out to bat at number three after the dismissal of Gaikwad during CSK's innings. The cheers didn't die down even when CSK were out on the field defending the 203-run target during SRH's run chase. SRH superstar Nicholas Pooran was left in awe of the unreal love that Dhoni gets from his fans across India. The West Indies batter said it was one of the moments he would never forget in his career.

Definitely one memory in my career I’ll always remember."

'The love for him is unreal': SRH star pays tribute to CSK skipper MS Dhoni after chat with him in IPL 2022

From Umran Malik to Ayush Badoni: Young Indian stars who have taken IPL 2022 by storm

Umran Malik is India's latest pace sensation, who has taken the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 by storm with his exhilarating pace and sublime skills. Malik has been breathing fire with the ball for his franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad and has been troubling the opposition batters with his raw pace.

Fast bowlers are a rare commodity in Indian cricket and there haven't been many pacers in the country who have consistently managed to clock good speed. However, Malik, who is blessed with natural pace, has the ability to consistently bowl at around 150 kmph.

The youngster has been a revelation for SRH in IPL this year and is destined to go a long way in his cricketing career. He recently bagged his maiden IPL fifer against Gujarat Titans and has been the second-highest&nbsp;wicket-taker for SRH so far this season with 15 wickets in nine matches.

As Malik continues to terrorise batters with his pace, former Indian cricket team captain and batting legend Sunil Gavaskar recently came up with a hilarious piece of advice on how to tackle his speed. Gavaskar jokingly said the batters should look to go to the non-striker's end when facing Malik in the ongoing IPL 2022.

“Take a single and go to the non-striker’s end,” quipped Gavaskar on Star Sports when asked how batters should tackle Malik's brutal pace.

However, on a more serious note, Gavaskar later advised the batters to ensure they can hide their stumps and not give a sight of the stumps to Malik. “Don’t give him a sight of your stumps. Cover all three stumps so that when he runs in to bowl, he has got to see where is the off stump, where is the leg stump,” said the former India captain.

After a memorable fifer against Gujarat Titans, Malik endured a rough day with the ball in his side's clash against CSK on Sunday (May 01). The speedster was taken to the cleaners by CSK opener Ruturaj Gaikwad as he ended up conceding a whopping 48 runs in his four overs and went wicketless.

His performance against CSK was a reminder that Malik is still an unfinished product and there is a large scope of improvement for him as a fast bowler before he can become a world-beater. He will be hoping to improve his performance in his side's next game against Delhi Capitals on May 05.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings, IPL 2022: Head-to-head, stats, trivia and predicted XIs

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will have MS Dhoni back leading the side once again after the legendary&nbsp;wicket-keeper batter was reappointed as the captain of the side less than 48 hours before the team's must-win clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2022. Ravindra Jadeja stepped down from his post to hand over CSK captaincy back to Dhoni on Saturday (April 30).

Dhoni had passed on the baton to Jadeja ahead of the start of IPL 2022 earlier this year. However, the decision backfired as CSK endured a disappointing start to the season. The defending champions lost six out of their first eight matches to stand on the brink of an early exit from the tournament.

Dhoni has now returned at the helm but has his task cut out as CSK need to win their remaining six matches on the trot to stand a chance at making it to the playoffs. His first big test will be against SRH, who have been one of the in-form teams this season and were on a five-match winning streak which came to an end in their last outing against Gujarat Titans.

Both teams are heading into the clash on the back of defeats in their respective last matches. While CSK went down against Punjab Kings in their last game, SRH lost to table-toppers Gujarat Titans. Both teams will be hoping to return to winning ways when they come up against each other at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Sunday.

SRH will hope for a better show from their bowlers after their pace attack barring Umran Malik was taken to the cleaners by GT batters Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia in their last game. CSK have far more concerns in their line-up compared to SRH as their openers have struggled this season and the bowling attack has lacked an edge in the absence of Deepak Chahar.

IPL 2022: Sunrisers Hyderabad fast bowler Umran Malik enters history books with maiden five-wicket haul

Sensational batting by Rahul Tewatia (40 not out off 21) and Rashid Khan (31 not out off 11) in the slog overs overcame pacer Umran Malik`s maiden fifer (5/25) as Gujarat Titans beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets in a thrilling IPL 2022 match at the Wankhede Stadium, here on Wednesday.

Invited to bat first, brilliant fifties by Abhishek Sharma (65 off 42), Aiden Markram (56 off 40) and a late blitz by Shashank Singh (25 not out off 6) powered Sunrisers Hyderabad to 195/6 in 20 overs.

Chasing a big total, Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill gave Gujarat a flying start. Saha, in particular, was very aggressive and dealt in boundaries, to take his team 59/0 at the end the powerplay.

It was Umran Malik, who gave SRH their first breakthrough by removing Shubman Gill (22) in the fourth ball of the 8th over. In the very next ball, he hit Hardik Pandya on the shoulder with a thunderbolt. In his second over, Umran again troubled Hardik (10) and eventually dismissed the Gujarat skipper with a short ball.

Both sides didn`t want to give any inch to their opposition at the halfway stage, GT had reached 91 for 2 with Saha and David Miller at the crease. While Malik was hogging all the limelight with his sheer pace, Saha continued his good job with the bat for Gujarat as he brought up a 28-ball fifty.

Just when it looked like Saha and David had brought GT back into the game, Malik bagged his wicket by dismissing Saha. Saha (68 off 38) failed to dig out a yorker from Malik, leaving GT to 122/3, needing 74 more in 40. Umran completed his demolition job of the GT batting order in his final over when he blew away David Miller and Abhinav Manohar in back to back deliveries to record his first five-wicket haul in the IPL.

Gujarat were in a spot of bother at 140/5 after 16 overs with Tewatia and Rasid in the middle. The duo went on to crack a slew of shots to break open the game. With 35 needed off 12 balls, the left-handed Tewatia used the left-arm angle to his advantage by smacking T Natarajan for a boundary and six - slog-sweep over cow corner.

Gujarat needed 22 runs in the last over of the innings and Tewatia began on the right note by clubbing Marco Jansen over deep midwicket for another six but could eke out only a single off the next ball. Rashid then showcased his pyrotechnics and managed to smash three sixes in the four balls to take their team over the victory line.

Earlier, invited to bat first, Mohammed Shami drifted down the leg side to SRH opener Abhishek Sharma twice in the opening over of the innings to concede 11 runs. Left arm pacer Yash Dayal, who came to bowl next over, was struck for two fours by Abhishek as Hyderabad raced to 22/0 after the end of 2 overs.

However, Shami made a brilliant comeback by dismissing SRH skipper Kane Williamson (5) on an incoming delivery. Rahul Tripathi (16 off 10), who came to bat next, was dropped by Rashid Khan when he was on 0. The right-handed batter took advantage of that reprieve and smashed Shami for a six and two fours off successive deliveries before the veteran pacer trapped him in front of the stumps to leave SRH at 44/2 after 5 overs.

From there on, Abhishek and Aiden Markram did the rebuilding job for Hyderabad.Though they were not able to find regular boundaries, both Abhishek and Markram rotated the strike as much as possible and kept the SRH run-rate steady.

After spending enough time in the middle, Abhishek decided to free his arms and hit his former teammate Rashid Khan for two sixes in the 12th over and brought up his half-century off 33-balls. On the other hand, Markram was targeting the likes of Alzarri Joseph and Lockie Ferguson for boundaries at regular intervals.

With five overs to go and both batters set, SRH were cruising towards a big score but an off-cutter from Joseph got rid of Abhishek, who departed for 65 off 42, leaving SRH at 140/3 in 15.1 overs. Nicholas Pooran (3), the next batter couldn`t do much and was dismissed by Shami in his comeback spell.

Despite losing quick wickets from the other end, Markram continued his innings with the same force and reached his half-century. But he couldn`t give the finishing touch to SRH innings, getting out on a slow ball from Yash Dayal on the last delivery of the 18th over.

Gujarat Titans pulled things back by getting rid of Washington Sundar, who was run out at the non-striker`s end but the likes of Shashank and Marco Jansen had saved their best for the last over.

Getting his first proper chance to bat despite featuring in the eleven in the last few games, Shashank made the most of the opportunity and smashed three sixes off Ferguson while Jansen also hit a maximum as 25 came off the final over and SRH finished with 195/6 in 20 overs.

Mohammed Shami (3/39), Yash Dayal (1/24), Alzarri Joseph (1/35) were the wicket-takers for Gujarat.

Brief scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad -- 195/6 in 20 Overs (Abhishek Sharma 65, Aiden Markram 56; Mohammed Shami 3/39) lost to Gujarat Titans 199/5 in 20 Overs (Wriddhiman Saha 68, Rahul Tewatia 40 not out; Umran Malik 5/25) by 5 wickets

Umran completed his demolition job of the GT batting order in his final over when he blew away David Miller and Abhinav Manohar in back to back deliveries to record his first five-wicket haul in the IPL. Gujarat were in a spot of bother at 140/5 after 16 overs with Tewatia and Rasid in the middle. The duo went on to crack a slew of shots to break open the game. With 35 needed off 12 balls, the left-handed Tewatia used the left-arm angle to his advantage by smacking T Natarajan for a boundary and six - slog-sweep over cow corner. Gujarat needed 22 runs in the last over of the innings and Tewatia began on the right note by clubbing Marco Jansen over deep midwicket for another six but could eke out only a single off the next ball. Rashid then showcased his pyrotechnics and managed to smash three sixes in the four balls to take their team over the victory line. Earlier, invited to bat first, Mohammed Shami drifted down the leg side to SRH opener Abhishek Sharma twice in the opening over of the innings to concede 11 runs. Left arm pacer Yash Dayal, who came to bowl next over, was struck for two fours by Abhishek as Hyderabad raced to 22/0 after the end of 2 overs. Also Read: Updated IPL 2022 points table after Gujarat Titans beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in last-over thriller However, Shami made a brilliant comeback by dismissing SRH skipper Kane Williamson (5) on an incoming delivery. Rahul Tripathi (16 off 10), who came to bat next, was dropped by Rashid Khan when he was on 0. The right-handed batter took advantage of that reprieve and smashed Shami for a six and two fours off successive deliveries before the veteran pacer trapped him in front of the stumps to leave SRH at 44/2 after 5 overs. From there on, Abhishek and Aiden Markram did the rebuilding job for Hyderabad.Though they were not able to find regular boundaries, both Abhishek and Markram rotated the strike as much as possible and kept the SRH run-rate steady. After spending enough time in the middle, Abhishek decided to free his arms and hit his former teammate Rashid Khan for two sixes in the 12th over and brought up his half-century off 33-balls. On the other hand, Markram was targeting the likes of Alzarri Joseph and Lockie Ferguson for boundaries at regular intervals. With five overs to go and both batters set, SRH were cruising towards a big score but an off-cutter from Joseph got rid of Abhishek, who departed for 65 off 42, leaving SRH at 140/3 in 15.1 overs. Nicholas Pooran (3), the next batter couldn`t do much and was dismissed by Shami in his comeback spell. Despite losing quick wickets from the other end, Markram continued his innings with the same force and reached his half-century. But he couldn`t give the finishing touch to SRH innings, getting out on a slow ball from Yash Dayal on the last delivery of the 18th over. Gujarat Titans pulled things back by getting rid of Washington Sundar, who was run out at the non-striker`s end but the likes of Shashank and Marco Jansen had saved their best for the last over. Getting his first proper chance to bat despite featuring in the eleven in the last few games, Shashank made the most of the opportunity and smashed three sixes off Ferguson while Jansen also hit a maximum as 25 came off the final over and SRH finished with 195/6 in 20 overs. Mohammed Shami (3/39), Yash Dayal (1/24), Alzarri Joseph (1/35) were the wicket-takers for Gujarat. Brief scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad -- 195/6 in 20 Overs (Abhishek Sharma 65, Aiden Markram 56; Mohammed Shami 3/39) lost to Gujarat Titans 199/5 in 20 Overs (Wriddhiman Saha 68, Rahul Tewatia 40 not out; Umran Malik 5/25) by 5 wickets

Updated IPL 2022 points table after Gujarat Titans beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in last-over thriller

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik breathed fire with the ball in his side's clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday (April 27). The right-arm pacer, who is known for his raw pacer, terrorised Gujarat Titans batters with his scorching deliveries during their 196-run chase.

Malik drew the first blood for SRH by cleaning up Shubman Gill in his very first over before dismissing GT skipper Hardik Pandya, who was caught by Marco Jansen in his second over. The 22-year-old didn't stop there and continued to impress with his rapid pace as he troubled the GT batters.

The youngster from Jammu &amp; Kashmir, who has been deemed by many as the next big thing in Indian cricket, produced an absolutely stunning yorker in the 14th over to rattle Wriddhiman Saha's stumps. Saha was batting on 68 and was looking in great touch but Malik outdid him with his sensational pace.

It was a brilliant yorker from the youngster who clocked a stunning 153 kmph which rocked Saha's stumps to send him packing. It was a lightning-fast yorker and Saha was a tad bit slow in bringing his bat down as Malik bagged his third wicket in the game.

IPL 2022's match 40 will see the one-time winners Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on the high-flying Gujarat Titans (GT) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Wednesday evening (April 27). With the league stage in a very crunch phase, with all teams fighting it out to enter the playoffs (sans Mumbai Indians), both the in-form teams will be desperate to not lose momentum.

With this being another reverse fixture in the ongoing season, Hyderabad will have some momentum having beaten Gujarat with ease in their previous face-off (by eight wickets). In their only meeting so far, Kane Williamson-led SRH opted to bowl first at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai on April 11. Despite a fifty from Hardik Pandya and Anubhav Manohar's chancy 21-ball 35, SRH managed to restrict GT for 162-7. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan's two wickets each led the show for the 2016 champions.

Dhawan had amassed 5,998 runs at an average of&nbsp;34.67 and a strike rate of 126.65, along with two centuries, before the CSK encounter. He has represented a plethora of franchises such as Mumbai Indians, Delhi Daredevils,&nbsp;Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Deccan Chargers and Punjab.

Known as one of the legends of IPL, Dhawan will be desperate to lead the charge for Punjab in their eighth encounter of IPL 2022, where they are up against Ravindra Jadeja-led&nbsp;CSK on Monday evening. So far, he has scored 214 runs in seven innings at 30.57 in IPL 15. Meanwhile, PBKS have three wins from seven games in the ongoing season.

IPL has been a huge hit over the years. Some of the big names in IPL are MS Dhoni, Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Shikhar Dhawan, etc.

CSK vs PBKS: Shikhar Dhawan completes a special double ton, joins MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli in elite list

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have managed to spark a stunning turnaround in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 with five wins on the trot after losing their first two matches in a row. The Kane Williamson-led side got off to a shaky start in the tournament in what looked like a repeat of their disastrous campaign last year.

However, they staged an incredible comeback which started with a comprehensive win against Chennai Super Kings in their third game of the season. SRH have since remained unbeaten in the tournament and have now jumped to the second spot on the points table with ten points from seven matches so far this season.

In their last game against RCB, SRH bundled out Faf du Plessis &amp; Co. for a paltry 68 to thrash them by 9 wickets. RCB recorded the lowest ever total in the ongoing season after an exceptional bowling effort from SRH, who have managed to formulate a settled bowling attack despite releasing Rashid Khan earlier this year.

Many had criticised SRH for not retaining Rashid, who is one of the best T20 bowlers in the world at present and had been a prolific wicket-taker for the franchise since his IPL debut in 2017. However, SRH's current batting coach Brian Lara believes the franchise was right in letting the Afghanistan spinner go.

Lara said batters had started defending against Rashid and he was no more a wicket-taker which made the spinner less effective for SRH.&nbsp;"I have great respect for Rashid Khan but I believe we have the right combination. Rashid Khan was someone who opposition teams decided to defend against, he was not much of a wicket-taker," Lara said after SRH's win over RCB on Saturday.

"Yes (economy of) 5.5-6 runs per over is great, but I think when you have a guy like Washington Sundar spinning the ball into the left-handers in the first six overs, he is an asset. Suchith has come in as his replacement due to injury and he is an asset as well," Lara added.

After releasing Rashid, SRH went for Washington Sundar, Jagadeesha Suchith and Shreyas Gopal to bolster their spin attack ahead of IPL 2022. While Sundar impressed in the few matches he played for the franchise before getting injured, Suchith has been bowling well after finding a spot in the playing XI as Sundar's replacement.

Suchith picked up two wickets while conceding only 12 runs off his 3 overs against RCB in SRH's last outing and is cementing his spot in the side steadily. However, it's not the spinners who have impressed the most for SRH as pacers Umran Malik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan and Marco Jansen have been among the wickets consistently.

'He was not a wicket-taker': Brian Lara explains why releasing Rashid Khan was the right move from SRH

Virat Kohli's continued woeful form was a sign of things to come as Royal Challengers Bangalore were literally walloped by Sunrisers Hyderabad who cantered to an easy nine-wicket victory in Saturday's one-sided IPL match here.

Kohli was once again dismissed outside the off-stump off the very first delivery he faced as RCB were shot out for a meagre 68 in just 16.1 overs. This was the sixth-lowest total in the history of IPL.

The Sunrisers pace attack led by Marco Jansen (3/25 in 4 overs) and ably supported by Umran Malik (1/19 in 4 overs) and T Natarajan (3/10 in 3 overs) left the star-studded RCB line-up rattled with pace, swing and seam.

In reply, it took SRH only eight overs as Abhishek Sharma butchered an already deflated RCB attack to score 47 off 28 balls in the company of Kane Williamson (16 not out).

The win also took SRH to second place with 10 points while RCB, who are still placed third, will like to forget this game as a bad dream. But one would wonder if Kohli can do the same as it's only getting worse for one of the contemporary greats in world cricket.

The problems are very real and unfortunately, one doesn't see any corrective measures in his approach as same kind of technical mistakes are being repeated again and again.

Some years back, it was James Anderson and now it is a Dushmantha Chameera and Marco Jansen, who are exposing the big chink in Kohli's armour. There couldn't have been a quicker end to a contest as Jansen removed Faf du Plessis (5), Kohli (0) and Anuj Rawat (0) off second, third and final delivery of the second over to make it 8 for 3.

In case of Jansen, it was seam movement off the pitch with a few that were angled across, some that held its line while Natarajan got some movement in the air and Malik was unleashing his thunderbolts at upward of 150 clicks. 
In between, left-arm spinner Jagadeesha Suchith (2/12) was also unrelenting as RCB never got elbow room to get some momentum going their way.

It soon became 20 for 4 when Natarajan got Glenn Maxwell (12) caught brilliantly by skipper Kane Williamson at mid-off. The other player to reach double figure was Suyash Prabhudesai (15). But, it is Kohli's dismissal that would certainly deflate his legion of fans as his problems outside the off-stump seems to have resurfaced.

Jansen did pose problems for Kohli during the South Africa Test series few months back and again bowled the ideal Test match length, full and getting the ball to either shape in or hold its line.

In the last match against Lucknow, it was the backward point that was in operation and Kohli's propensity to jab at deliveries on off-stump channel with hard hands caused his undoing with Aiden Markram snapping it in second slip. 
There was not much resistance from the other batters and once Dinesh Karthik (7) was caught down leg-side off Suchith trying to sweep, it was all over for RCB.

Once it was 47 for 6 after nine overs, the lower order looked mortally scared facing the fast and furious Umran as it seemed as if the ball was hitting the bat rather than the other way round.

Natarajan also kept up the pressure, snuffing out the wickets as veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar wrapped up the innings.&nbsp;
