The festival of cricket, the TATA IPL 2022 has begun. The tournament has already given us many thrillers. We have seen explosive batting by Ishan Kishan,<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/royal-challengers-bangalore-names-faf-du-plessis-as-captain/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Faf Du Plessis</a>, and MS Dhoni as well. The bowlers too have done very well. The game on Wednesday was also very eventful and fun. The boys from Bengaluru took on the guys from Kolkata. The RCB team had an exceptional bowling performance from Akash Deep and Wanindu Hasaranga ads well. The Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 3 wickets and 4 balls to spare. Here is an in-depth look at the same. ?



<h2>RCB Playing XI:</h2>



Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, David Willey, Harshal Patel, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj



<h2>IPL 2022, KKR Playing XI:</h2>



Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer (c), Sam Billings, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy



<h2>IPL 2022, KKR VS RCB, KKR Batting Innings(1st):&nbsp;</h2>



The thriller contest began with<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/royal-challengers-bangalore-names-faf-du-plessis-as-captain/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> RCB?</a>winning the toss. Like every other team was doing this year, Faf chose to field first. This decision is taken considering the presence of dew in the stadium. The match took place at the DY Patil Stadium. Royal Challengers Bangalore were in a different mood. They dominated the first innings entirely. Akash Deep was clocking 145 kmph. He got rid of Venkatesh Iyer. Rahane too fell to Siraj. KKR was struggling at 44-3 when Rana got out. Each batter got out playing a loose shot. ?



Then began the Hasaranga and Harshal show! The duo of ballers picked 6 wickets in the middle overs and rattled the KKR batting. Wickets fell at regular intervals. Hasaranga completely out-foxed Sheldon Jackson and bowled through his gate. The lone warriors fo<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-kolkata-knight-riders-kkr-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">r KKR</a> were Andre Russell who got out at 25 of 18 balls and<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/india-vs-england-3rd-test-umesh-yadav-added-to-the-indian-squad-for-the-last-two-test-matches/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Umesh Yadav </a>who hit a few shots in the end. KKR ended with a mere 128 on board.?



<h2>Brief Scores:&nbsp;</h2>



Total: KKR, 128/10.&nbsp;



Andre Russell: 25 of 18 balls.&nbsp;

<h2>IPL 2022, KKR VS RCB, Royal Challengers Bangalore?Batting Innings(2nd Innings):?</h2>



Faf Du Plessis came out to bat alongside Anuj Rawat. Umesh Yadav was bowling his zing-fast pace. He took the wicket of Anuj Rawat as Rawat handed out a catch to Sheldon. Virat Kohli walked out to bat and smoked two crispy boundaries to Umesh. He was looking in good touch. Faf too was feeling himself. But a jaffa from Tim Southee got rid of him. RCB was struggling at 17-3 when Kohli too handed out a catch to Sheldon Jackson. ?



David Willey and Sherfane Rutherford then stitched a partnership. They moved the ball around to take the score to 62 before he fell. Shabaz Ahmed then walked in and handled the innings well. His innings gave momentum back to the RCB team. Sherfane Rutherford played a very mature inning of 28 of 40 balls. The game was at a crucial stage when 29 were required for the last 4 overs. Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy had spun a web around the RCB batters. The 19th over was given to Venky Iyer and there is where Shreyas made a mistake. That over could have been given to Dre Russ! ?



But in the end, Dinesh Karthik safely finished the game for the men in red. RCB takes two points out of 2 games. ?



<h2>Brief Scores:&nbsp;</h2>



Total: RCB, 132/7.&nbsp;

Andre Russell sustained shoulder injury during KKR vs RCB match, last night: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) premier all-rounder Andre Russell has now come under a serious fitness issue following his outing against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), last night.

Russell has been a vital cog in Kolkata?s squad since IPL 2014. The all-rounder plays a key role for KKR with both bat and ball owing to his sensational cricketing skills. However, over the years, the fitness concerns of Andre Russell have troubled KKR more often than not.



The Caribbean all-rounder was seen in pain and walking gingerly while bowling in the 13th over against RCB. Owing to his fitness issues, Shreyas Iyer held him until the final over of the match, which eventually KKR.



Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) head coach Brendon McCullum, in the post-match conference, gave a much-required update on Andre Russell?s uneasiness.



?Dre [Andre Russell]&nbsp; ran around the boundary, dived and stopped that boundary for us which was fantastic. Unfortunately, he just picked up a little bit of a bump, which meant his shoulders were little bit sore. But Dre being Dre, he still wanted to try and get the job done. He wasn?t quite able to but, look, those are the things which happen in low-scoring games,? he said in the post-match press conference.



Russell had a bit of a rough outing on the field with both bat and ball against RCB. The all-rounder conceded 36 runs in just 2.2 overs at an expensive economy of 15.40. Moreover, he was only able to score 24 runs from his 18 deliveries.

The said contest will be held in Kolkata's Eden Gardens at 7:30 PM IST.



KKR had an unfortunate start to their IPL 2023 run. They lost their opening match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) by seven runs in a DLS score. KKR's overall outing remained meek as none of their batters played a long impactful inning, although there were a couple of handy knocks from Venkatesh Iyer and Andre Russell.



On the other side, RCB blew Mumbai Indians (MI) away with their sensational batting display. The duo of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis took the game away from MI after the bowlers early assault. RCB bowlers restricted Mumbai Indians (MI) to a modest total, 171, in 20 overs. The batters then did the rest of the work to win the contest and bag two points.

India is all set to lock horns with England in the five-match T20I series. The first game of the series is all set to be played on Wednesday (23rd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. 
The India team is all set to be captained by Suryakumar Yadav and the squad is filled with plenty of youngsters. Thus the series provides a great opportunity for the young players to make their case strong and seal their place in the Indian XI for the T20 World Cup 2026. 
Openers: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson; Tilak Varma at No.3 
Coming to the Indian XI for the first T20I against England, it is expected that Sanju Samson will retain his place as an opener in the team. He has been in great form of late, as he slammed three centuries in 2024 while opening the innings. 
Abhishek Sharma is expected to partner with him at the top of the series. The left-hander hasn't been able to maintain the consistency, and there were reports that this will be the make-or-break series for him. At No.3, it is expected that Tilak Varma will be batting because of his heroics in South Africa. 
Tilak Varma asked for the No.3 role during the South Africa series and he delivered. He slammed two back-to-back centuries in the series. With the kind of batting that is displayed, it's fair to say that he will be retaining his place in the team for the first IND vs ENG T20I. 
Middle order: Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya; Finishers: Rinku Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy 
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav will be batting at No.4 and would want to get some runs under his belt, especially after his low scores in South Africa. Hardik Pandya will be back in action after having a solid  Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25 and will be important for his team with bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy will be the two finishers for the team. The left-hander will be crucial for the team as he has been carrying his golden form with the bat and would want to make an impact. On the other hand, the all-rounder has been put a big striker forward in international cricket and would want to replicate his efforts from Tests in Australia to T20Is. 
Spinners: Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy 
Axar Patel, who has been appointed as the vice-captain of the team, will be the spinner in the team. While Varun Chakaravarthy will be the second spinner. The mystery spinner has been sensational with the ball in the last two series and would be hoping to carry his good form. 
Pacers: Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh 
Mohammed Shami will be making his comeback for the team after a long injury break. Arshdeep Singh will be the second pacer in the team. 
Here's India playing XI for the first T20I against England prediction

The tensions between Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir are increasing day by day as the duo were involved in a massive argument. As per the reports in Dainik Jagran, it is learned that both weren't on the same page related to the selection for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
The India squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was announced on Saturday (18th January). The press conference of the skipper Rohit Sharma and selector Ajit Agarkar was scheduled to take place at 12:30 PM IST, but it took place two and a half hours later than the scheduled time as the media was asked to wait. 
However, it was revealed, as per the reports in Dainik Jagran, that the reason behind the delay was there was an argument between Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar over some of the players. The major talking point was the vice-captain of the team. 
Both Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar wanted Shubman Gill as the vice-captain while Gautam Gambhir wanted to give vice-captaincy to Hardik Pandya. However, the coach and captain were adamant about making Gill deputy, and hence, the decision was taken in favour of Gill. 
The other argument they had was between Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson. Gautam Gambhir was in favour of the latter while Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar wanted Rishabh Pant. They didn't listen to the coach, and hence, both Gill and Pant were picked in their roles on demand of skipper and selector. 
Apart from these selections, what was the surprise was India named just three pacers in the team. Mohammed Siraj was dropped while they went in with four seamers: Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav, who will be the wrist spinner.

Defending champions India started their ICC Women's T20 U19 World Cup 2025 campaign with a resounding victory over the West Indies at the picturesque Bayeumas Oval in Kuala Lumpur.

After winning the toss and opting to bowl under overcast conditions, India delivered a stellar all-round performance. Joshitha VJ set the tone with a fiery opening spell, trapping West Indies skipper Samara Ramnath LBW in her second over. She followed it up with a second wicket off the next delivery, dismissing Naijanni Cumberbatch for a duck. The spin duo of Aayushi Shukla and Parunika Sisodia then tightened the noose. Shukla claimed two wickets, while Sisodia finished with an impressive three-wicket haul.

Indian fielders added to the Windies' misery, executing three run-outs to clean up the tail. Apart from Asabi Callender and Kenika Cassar, no other batter offered significant resistance as the West Indies were bowled out for 44.

Chasing 45, India lost opener G Trisha on the second ball of the innings. However, Kamalini G and Sanika Chalke stabilized the innings, guiding India home in just 4.2 overs. With dark clouds looming and rain threatening, they raced against the weather and secured victory just as the rain began to fall.

India now tops Group A with two points and a commanding net run rate of +8.646. As clinical as it could get, India's title defence is up and running. Meanwhile, Samara Ramnath and her team will need to regroup ahead of their next match against Sri Lanka.

Player of the Match: Joshitha VJ, for her outstanding figures of 2 for 5 in 2 overs, said she focuses on generating swing with her pace and admires Bhuvneshwar Kumar. She credited her team for supporting her performance and expressed confidence in India's strong start to the tournament.
