<h2>Amit Mishra has 3 Hat-Tricks in the IPL:&nbsp;</h2>



Amit Mishra is a legend of the IPL. This leg spinner had a lot to offer to any team which he represented. Amit has taken 3 hat-tricks in the IPL.

But keeping the ifs and buts aside, Mishra has taken 3 hat-tricks while playing for 3 different franchises. His first hat-trick came in the very first season when he was playing for the Delhi Daredevils against the Deccan Chargers.

The side has been let down at times by the bowling department while in the other circumstances the batters have been disappointing the management. Even in the previous match versus Delhi, the side could post a big total while batting first and the bowlers could resist the opposition betters as they let the games slip away from their grip. The team management will be hoping for a turn from here on.



Possible Playing XI: Aaron Finch, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Baba Indrajith (wk), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, Harshit Rana.

<h2>KKR vs RR: Probable Top Performers&nbsp;</h2>



Probable best batsman of the match - Jos Buttler



In spite of it being an of they for all the batters in the previous match, Buttler didn't fail to display his class with the bat. With a fighting half century, he displayed another moment of brilliance from his individual perspectives. The hard hitting opener has so far amassed close to 550 runs this season and is the sole owner of the orange cap by a great margin. Another top notch inning from Jos Buttler is all the team management will be hoping for tomorrow.



Probable best bowler of the match - Ravi Ashwin



In a match where the other bowlers for conceiting runs at a high rate Ashwin bowled an extremely economic spell conceding just 21 runs in his four overs. His highly tight line and length followed by the wicket-taking ability make him a dangerous option to face for the opposition batsman. The 35-year-old has been a key player in the bowling lineup for his side so far this season another high economics spell including wickets from the spinner will be needed by Rajasthan to achieve a win tomorrow for sure.

IPL 2022: KKR vs RR Dream11 Prediction: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Rajasthan Royals (RR) challenge in match number 47 of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium on May 2nd.



This article will take you through Tata IPL 2022: KKR vs RR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Tips, PlayingXI, Pitch Report, Match Preview etc.



<h2>IPL 2022: KKR vs RR Match Preview:</h2>



Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have made a mess of their campaign in the ongoing IPL 2022. They started off pretty well with three wins in the first four matches and were reckoned as the team to beat in the tournament. However, their downfall began after Delhi Capitals hammered them in a high scoring contest and exposed their batting unit.&nbsp;



KKR is on a five-match losing streak currently and would be hoping to bounce back with a win against Rajasthan Royals in its next assignment.&nbsp;



The two-time champions have a couple of issues that should be repaired if they want to remain in the race. The opening combination hasn?t worked for them, the middle order hasn?t been consistent either. Moreover, bowling has disappointed them to a large extent. Barring Umesh Yadav, no other bowler has fetched good results for the team.



On the other side, Rajasthan Royals have suffered a defeat against Mumbai Indians (MI) in their last match. Mumbai brought up their first win of the season defeating Rajasthan by five wickets in the DY Patil Stadium.&nbsp;



The only issue with RR is their awful luck during the flip of the coin. Skipper Sanju Samson has lost eight tosses in nine matches.

The Pitch in the last match is ideal for batting and also good for bowlers, especially spinners getting turns from the Pitch and taking multiple wickets in a match.

The wicket at Eden Gardens is known for being batting-friendly and has frequently led to high-scoring matches. The batters can take chances because the stadium is not particularly big.



Early on in the game, the surface helps batters more than bowlers, but later on, bowlers, especially spinners, gain from it as well. The medium-sized stadium Eden Gardens has a square boundary spanning 65 to 67 meters and a straight side from the wicket of 69 to 71 meters.

India keeper-batter Sanju Samson might be a surprise inclusion in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in India Today, it is learned that the right-hander is likely to be there as the backup keeper for Rishabh Pant in the team. 
The reports stated that Sanju Samson's inclusion in the Indian team will depend on how the BCCI treats Gautam Gambhir. It is learned that if the head coach has the same say in the selection matters that he had during the Australia tour, then the keeper-batter might be included in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
The India squad for the Australia tour was mostly picked on the recommendation of Gautam Gambhir. The head coach played a huge role in the selection of Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy. But the team failing badly there didn't go any good to the head coach. 
Some reports claimed that head coach Gautam Gambhir won't be having a say in selection matters. However, if that isn't the case, then the reports in India Today say that the head coach's favourite, Sanju Samson, will be picked for the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
 Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper in the team, and Sanju Samson will be serving as backup.
It is learned that Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper in the team, and Sanju Samson will be serving as backup. This will be a massive step for the Indian team going forward, as Samson has been in hot form in white-ball cricket, especially in T20 cricket. 
Sanju Samson has made a staggering return to the Indian T20I setup as he slammed three centuries in the two series that were played. The keeper-batter also has a great record in the ODIs as well as he has an average of over 56 in his short career and would want to cash on that as well. 
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to begin from 19th February. The Indian team for the tournament is all set to be announced soon, and it is learned that Rohit Sharma will be leading the team, which will see some of the expected names.

India keeper-batter Sanju Samson might be a surprise inclusion in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Sanju Samson to get nod ahead in Indian squad? Massive report comes on Gautam Gambhir's 'favourite'

Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar is all set to meet captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir along with the BCCI officials to do the post martom of of the team's poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India team faced a 3-1 thrashing at the hands of Australia in a five-match series. 
Ajit Agarkar will be meeting Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir on Sunday, the same day when the BCCI will be appointing Devajit Saikia as the new BCCI secretary. While this is one development, other claims the captain Rohit and Gambhir will be at the receiving end of some harsh questions by the BCCI.
The reports claimed that there will be informal and formal meetings among selectors and all the issues will be addressed. This will also include India's poor performances in the Tests last year. India faced a 3-0 whitewash at home against New Zealand and then suffered a loss to Australia. 
Another issue that will be addressed by the BCCI will be the poor form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both the stalwarts of the Indian team failed badly in the entire Test season, and hence, discussions related to their future will be taking place as well among the board members and head coach. 
<h2>Ravichandran Ashwin's announcement of retirement during mid-tour will also be discussed - Reports</h2>
It is also learned that Ravichandran Ashwin's announcement of retirement during mid-tour will also be discussed, along with the rumours of things not good in the dressing room will be addressed as well. The source close to the developments told Hindustan Times: 
"The Australian tour, which immediately followed the 0-3 rout at home to New Zealand, was expected to decide the fate of many senior players. The 3-1 loss shut the door on India’s WTC final hopes, which is seen as a big setback. 
" Off-spinner R Ashwin’s mid-tour retirement and return home, murmurs of team discontent on tour, Rohit’s free fall in form that resulted in his sitting out the final Test at Sydney and the prolonged lean run of Virat Kohli has left Indian cricket faced with several searching questions. 
"All these are likely to be addressed in a number of formal and informal meetings among selectors and the administrators in the coming days." 
It remains to be seen what conclusion will come out once the BCCI officials meet. The next Test match of India will be played in June when the team will tour England.

In what has been the latest development as per the reports in India Today, it is learned that there is no certainty over the place of KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Indian squad for the tournament is all set to be announced next week. 
The reports claimed that KL Rahul might not make it into the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because his batting has been under the radar, especially after the poor innings that he played in the final of the ICC World Cup 2023 against Australia, which the Indian team lost. 
KL Rahul was recently dropped from the Indian ODI XI during the series against Sri Lanka. As per the reports, it is learned that Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper-batter in the team, while Sanju Samson might get the nod as the second keeper in the team. 
<h2>Ravindra Jadeja hasn't impressed the BCCI selectors with his efforts with the bat and ball in the white-ball cricket. </h2>
On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja hasn't impressed the BCCI selectors with his efforts with the bat and ball in the white-ball cricket. Those in charge feel that Axar Patel is much more effective than Jadeja as the latter's batting hasn't been good since the last few times. 
Coming to Mohammed Shami, there is no clarity over the fitness of a fast bowler as of yet. However, if unfit, he won't be rushed into the team. He bowled 16 overs in the two games that be played in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 and if he is deemed fit, he might be there. 
Shami has been out of action for a while. If the fast bowler achieves full fitness and will be there for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He played a huge role for the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and would want to continue the same form in the upcoming tournament as well.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan and India will be playing their games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will play their first game against Bangladesh on 20th February.

In what has been the latest development as per the reports in India Today, it is learned that there is no certainty over the place of KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami likely to be dropped from India squad

Team India have had a hard time in the last few months. Especially in test cricket, where they were clear swept for the first time at home and then went on to lose the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as well. The poor form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli was also one of the reasons behind India's poor show.
This has raised questions over the test futures for both Virat and Rohit. Though India don't have any red-ball games until June, that is why a number of former cricketers and cricket pundits have asked these two Indian stalwarts to go and participate in the domestic circuit to get back to their best form.
Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri, who was part of India's BGT trophy win in 2018 and 2021, urged these stars to participate in domestic cricket to regain their form. Irfan Pathan and Sunil Gavaskar also shared their opinions and asked every Indian international star to feature in domestic cricket.
Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir also made a statement during the Sydney press conference about the importance of domestic cricket. Does playing at the domestic level help to regain form? But have you ever thought about when was the last time Rohit or Virat played in domestic cricket?
<h2>When was the last time Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma played domestic cricket?</h2>
Virat Kohli played ten tests in 2024 and scored 417 runs at an average of 24.52, which is half of his career average. His first test of 2025 saw him scoring 17 and 6 in two innings at the SCG. So, Virat is clearly struggling to manage the requirements of test cricket. But do you know it has been over a decade since he has played a domestic game?
The last domestic match for Virat Kohli was back in 2012 for his state team, Delhi. He played a Ranji Trophy match against Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad and scored 14 and 43 across two innings of that game. This was the end of his domestic red-ball career. Since then, he has not returned to Delhi again at the FC level.
If we look at Rohit Sharma, it has been over nine years now. The Test captain featured in his last domestic game back in 2016. It was during a Duleep Trophy match when he played for India Blue. He used to bat in the middle order back then and batted at No. 4 and 3 in two innings, scoring 30 and 32, respectively.
It has been a long time since these two batted at the domestic level. Though playing at the domestic level won't guarantee you gaining the form back, it can certainly help when you spend more time on the crease. Will we see Virat and Rohit playing domestic cricket? It is something that totally depends on both of them.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are struggling with their form. Hence, many former cricketers have advised them to play domestic cricket.
