<p>Pat Cummins has equaled the record for the fastest 50 in the IPL! He sealed the game for KKR with a 14-ball 50! The TATA IPL 2022 saw the Mumbai Indians take on the Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday evening. The Knight Riders had previously won 2 of the 3 games they played. Mumbai on the other hand was looking for the first victory of the tournament. The Mumbai Indians are slow starters as known by everyone but a loss in all the first 3 games would have hurt them. Pat Cummins won the game for Kolkata Knight Riders by scoring a fifty in 14 balls only. IPL 2022 has seen several young players emerge and this game also had a few. Here is an in-depth look at the game:?</p>



<h2>IPL 2022, MI VS KKR, Mumbai Indians Playing 11:&nbsp;</h2>

<h2>IPL 2022, MI VS KKR, Kolkata Knight Riders? Playing 11:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Ajinkya Rahane,?Venkatesh Iyer,?Shreyas Iyer (c),?Sam Billings (wk),?Nitish Rana,?Andre Russell,?Sunil Narine,?Pat Cummins,?Umesh Yadav,?Rasikh Salam,?Varun Chakravarthy.?</p>



<h2>IPL 2022, MI VS KKR, Mumbai Indians? Batting Innings:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The toss was won by Shreyas Iyer and Iyer chose to bowl. Rohit was satisfied as he had planned to bat first. Both captains got what their team wanted. &nbsp;</p>



<p>The <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-mumbai-indians-mi-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mumbai Indians? </a>batting innings didn?t have the best of starts. Rohit Sharma who generally loves batting against KKR was out for 3 of 12 balls. Umesh Yadav bowled very very well for the Knight Riders. It is a pity that this workhorse was picked for only 1 Crore at the Auction table. Umesh got Rohit out on a short-ball. The innings further were handled by Ishan Kishan and Dewald Brevis. They took the team through the first 6 overs of powerplay. The scoreboard at that time?was 35-1. ?</p>



<p>Dewald Brevis had come in place of Tim David and he was justifying his place. Dewald played aggressive shots whenever he got the opportunity. He was stumped by Sam Billings off Varun Chakravarthy for 29 runs. Ishan Kishan too faltered and fell for 14 runs of 21 balls. His approach was very conservative. The next to come in was Surya! Surya was bought into the team in place of Anmolpreet. SKY batted very well. ?</p>



<p>SKY batted along with young sensation <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/tata-ipl-2022-x-factor-players-in-every-ipl-2022-team/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tilak Varma t</a>o take the team out of a period of crisis. Tilak Varma showed maturity. He was anchoring the innings while Surya was showing why he adds value to the Mumbai team. The duo complimented each other very well. The partnership was 83 runs. Every loose ball perished for a boundary. SKY showed his 360-degree game. Pollard walked in late to score 22 runs off 5 balls and took Mumbai to a respectable total of 161/4.?</p>



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



<ul><li>Suryakumar Yadav: 52 off 36 balls.?</li><li>N Tilak Varma: 38 runs of 27 balls.?</li><li>Pat Cummins: 2/49?</li></ul>



<h2>IPL 2022, MI VS KKR, Kolkata Knight Riders' Batting Innings (Run-Chase):?</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-kolkata-knight-riders-kkr-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kolkata Knight Riders?</a> innings also began with a wicket. Their experienced batter, Ajinkya Rahane was out to a short-ball as he handed out a catch in the deep. Venky Iyer however was like a solid rock. The next to walk in was Shreyas Iyer, but he too didn?t trouble the scorers much as he was out on the last ball of the powerplay. The scoreboard read 35-2. ?</p>



<p>Mumbai Indians then turned on a more aggressive gear. They were taking wickets at constant intervals. The only person to stand was Venky Iyer. Nitish Rana was also out for 8 runs. Andre walked in next. Dre Russ hit one maximum and was out to a short-ball from Tymal Mills. KKR were at 69-4. Venky took the charge and got the team in a formidable position. Every loose ball was punished by him and Pat Cummins decided to support Venky. Iyer got to his fifty. And the equation was 32?runs of the last 5 overs. ?</p>



<p>Daniel Sams came into the attack in the 16<sup>th</sup> over. Pat Cummins was in beast mode by then. He took Sams to the cleaners. The over went like 6,4,6,6, N2, 4,6. A total of 35 runs were smashed in the over of Daniel Sams. Pat Cummins's score matched the record for the fastest ever 50 in the IPL. The record was held by KL Rahul. ?</p>



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



<ul><li>KKR win by 5 wickets and 4 overs to spare.?</li><li>Pat Cummins: 56 runs of 15 balls.?</li><li>Venkatesh Iyer: 50 of 41 balls.?</li><li>Murugan Ashwin: 2/25.?</li></ul>

<p>Bullying is one thing that each of us stands against.?We might have mistakenly done something like that in past but each of us grows up to be a responsible and more sensible individual. But at times even professional cricketers find it difficult to get rid of these demons. While speaking to<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/i-couldnt-sleep-for-8-9-days-says-ravichandran-ashwin-on-leaving-ipl-midway/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Ravichandran Ashwin</a> on the Rajasthan Royals? podcast during IPL 2022, Yuzvendra Chahal recalled an incident of ragging by one of the senior overseas players. Here is an in-depth look at what Yuzvendra Chahal had to say:?</p>



<h2>IPL 2022, Was Tied, Gagged and Forgotten the Whole Night by Andrew Symonds and James Franklin:&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Yuzvendra Chahal is playing for<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-rajasthan-royals-rr-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Rajasthan Royals </a>in IPL 2022. Yuzvendra Chahal recalled one of his most horrifying experiences at the Mumbai Indians? camp in 2011. It was an incident of ragging at the hands of Andrew Symonds and James Franklin. Both the players from Australia and New Zealand were an integral part of the Mumbai Indians alongside Yuzi in the 2011 Champions League T20 Tournament.?</p>



<p>?They partied a lot and drank a lot of ?juice?. After that, they tied my hands and legs and said now you have to open it up. They were in so much masti that they even taped my mouth. They partied more and forgot about me. I was kept in the same position for the entire night. The cleaner came in the next morning and freed me. ?Yuzi added. In conclusion, he said, ?The cleaner asked me from how long I was like that, and I answered saying from the night itself. They did not apologize to me but informally said that it happens at times because of the ?juice? and when they party a lot?.?</p>



<p>Many netizens got offended by the kind of experience that young Indian players have to go through for playing in the greatest T20 League. Yuzi also recalled another Incident.?</p>

<h2>One of the "Drunk" Players Hung me from the 15<sup>th</sup> Floor of the Balcony:?</h2>



<p>?I never told this story, from today, everyone will know. I never shared this. This dates back to 2013 when I was with <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-mumbai-indians-mi-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mumbai Indians</a>, we had a match in Bangalore. There was a get-together after that. So, there was a very drunk player, I won?t say his name. He was very drunk, he was looking at me for a long time and he just called me and he took me outside and he hung me on the balcony,?, Yuzi said in the podcast shared by Rajasthan and hosted by Ravichandran Ashwin.?</p>



<p><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/yuzvendra-chahal-disappointed-with-rcb-says-they-didnt-ask-whether-i-wanted-to-be-retained/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yuzvendra Chahal </a>further added, ?And my hands were around him, like this (behind the neck). Had I lost my grip, I was on the 15th floor. Suddenly many people who were there came and they handled it. I kind of fainted, they gave me water. Then I realized how responsible we need to be when we go anywhere. So, this was one incident where I felt I made a narrow escape. Had there been the slightest of mistakes, I would?ve fallen."</p>

IPL 2022: A ?Drunk? MI Player Hung Me From the 15th Floor of Balcony. Was Tied and Gagged. Says Yuzvendra Chahal.&nbsp;

<p>Deepak Chahar, the ace-bowler of the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-chennai-super-kings-csk-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chennai Super Kings</a> has been ruled out from the TATA IPL 2022 Season. This comes as a major setback for the Chennai Super Kings. The CSK management had spent a whopping 15 Crores to recruit Chahar in their line-up. This update has left the Chennai management in splits as most of their campaign was dependent on the swing-king from Rajasthan. Here is an in-depth look:?</p>



<h2>Deepak Chahar Ruled out of TATA IPL 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>On Friday, Deepak Chahar the ace-bowler of the Chennai Super Kings who was awaited was ruled out of the tournament. The Chennai Super Kings had spent a lot on Deepak Chahar in the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-mega-auction-click-here-for-live-updates-sold-players-teams-news/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TATA IPL 2022 Auction</a>. They had spent a jaw-dropping 15 Crores, and this made him the most expensive Indian bowler in the history of the IPL. The void of Deepak Chahar is very big and some of the players will have to step up to fill this gap. It is a back injury that has left the pacer from Rajasthan out of the league. ?</p>



<p>The input that Deepak has to give to the team is unmatched. Deepak Chahar also has a lot to offer with the bat. Chahar gives 3 effective overs in the powerplay and one in the middle or at the death. The CSK management specifically planned their team around Chahar. Chahar has previously struggled with his hamstring muscles but it is a back injury that has left him out of contention. ?</p>



<h2>Deepak Chahar Replacement:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Chennai Super Kings are yet to announce a replacement for Deepak Chahar. However, Chennai does have a few options left to choose from. They can bring in Ishant Sharma who brings along with him a lot of experience. Dhawal Kulkarni can also be roped in. Mohit Sharma and Ishwar Pandey can also be bought in as replacements.?</p>



<p>Deepak Chahar?s stats in the IPL are as follows:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<br><strong></strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Innings</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Overs</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Maidens</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Runs</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Wickets</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Best</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>3 Wickets</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>5-WIckets</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Average</strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Economy</strong>&nbsp;<strong></strong>&nbsp;</td><td><strong>Strike Rate</strong>&nbsp;<strong></strong>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><strong>ODI</strong>&nbsp;</td><td>7&nbsp;</td><td>52&nbsp;</td><td>4&nbsp;</td><td>313&nbsp;</td><td>10&nbsp;</td><td>2/37 v SL&nbsp;</td><td>0&nbsp;</td><td>0&nbsp;</td><td>31.30&nbsp;</td><td>6.01&nbsp;</td><td>31.20&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><strong>T20I</strong>&nbsp;</td><td>20&nbsp;</td><td>70&nbsp;</td><td>1&nbsp;</td><td>579&nbsp;</td><td>26&nbsp;</td><td>6/7 v BAN&nbsp;</td><td>1&nbsp;</td><td>1&nbsp;</td><td>22.26&nbsp;</td><td>8.27&nbsp;</td><td>16.15&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><strong>IPL</strong>&nbsp;</td><td>63&nbsp;</td><td>220.4&nbsp;</td><td>6&nbsp;</td><td>1722&nbsp;</td><td>59&nbsp;</td><td>4/13 v PBKS&nbsp;</td><td>3&nbsp;</td><td>0&nbsp;</td><td>29.18&nbsp;</td><td>7.80&nbsp;</td><td>22.44&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

TATA IPL 2022: Deepak Chahar Ruled out of TATA IPL 2022.&nbsp;

tata-ipl-2022-deepak-chahar-ruled-out-of-tata-ipl-2022

<p>The BCCI has had grand success in conducting the entire IPL 2022 season in India. The plan of holding the tournament on the 4 grounds near and around <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-3-positives-for-the-mumbai-indians-from-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mumbai</a> was successfully pulled off. The tournament is a great success with only a quarter of it left. Every game in this festival of cricket has been a nail-biting encounter. Apart from the 3 most successful teams in the IPL, every other team stands a good chance to win IPL 2022. But as a fan how can the BCCI help to improve its stadium experience? At times the ticket prices sky-rocket as high as 4000! So, how should BCCI justify this??</p>



<h2>Better Washrooms and Better Crowd Management:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The very first problem that a fan faces after buying tickets to see a game is that the queue for entering the stadium is huge. So, before even reaching his seat, the person is already drained off. Better crowd management and faster methods of safety checking and frisking can help. We can have metal detectors to fasten the process. A manual check of each person is a tedious task and eventually leads to queues. For entering the Brabourne Stadium, the queue at times starts from the Marine Lines? Railway Station Bridge. ?</p>



<p>The next problem is that the stadium washrooms are very unclean. The <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/bcci-likely-to-omit-bio-bubbles-for-indias-home-series-against-south-africa-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BCCI c</a>annot contribute to this but it is the task of the state cricket association to manage these things. If a fan spends 4000 rupees to see a game for 3 to 4 hours, it is natural to use the washroom at least once. But the cleanliness level is very very poor. ?</p>



<h2>Basic Food Arrangements and Water at Affordable Prices:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>For a sip of water, you have to pay 20 Rupees at the Wankhede and DY Patil Stadium. Water is the basic need of a person. For an individual that spends 4000 to 5000 rupees and hits the hot and humid climate of Mumbai, water is essential. If the on-filed players take a sip of pickle juice due to dehydration, even the fans need to stay hydrated. The conditions with regards to water are genuinely undermining and a common man can never afford to watch his favorite player play. Food prices are also over the top. A burger that gets sold for rupees 50 outside is sold at 200 inside the stadium.?</p>



<h2>Allowing Banners and Flags in IPL 2022:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/cricket-jd1-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-89158" /><figcaption>The DY Patil Stadium and Wankhede Stadium do not allow banners and flags to be carried in. IMG SRC: India.com</figcaption></figure>



<p>The DY Patil Stadium and the Wankhede Stadium do not allow Banners and Flags. Clear instructions have been given outside the stadium stating ?No flags allowed?. Some fans, however, manage to sneak in a few flags but in the case of banners, it?s a strict no! So, what is the whole point of coming to see your favorite player if you can?t hold a banner with your message on it? People certainly want to tell Virat Kohli that he is a king, by holding a poster saying, ?King Kohli?. To show your support and to express your love, flags and banners are the only way! With the cricket associations not allowing that, the stadium experience of an honest fan gets completely ruined. ?</p>



<h2>A Well-Developed Parking Arrangement will help in IPL 2022:</h2>



<p>At times fans commute by their personal vehicles to the stadiums. In this case, there are two problems. The fans are often concerned regarding the parking space which they need for their vehicle. Every person is concerned regarding his vehicle, obviously because the vehicle costs 7 to 8 lakhs and we need to maintain it too. The second issue is that if the parking is existing, the crowd of the vehicles or the traffic is not well-managed. So, the fans who are expected to reach the game at 3:30 pm or at 7:30 pm reach the venue when the first inning is almost over. This totally disappoints the fans. </p>

IPL 2022: Improvements in the Stadium Experience in India.&nbsp;

ipl-2022-improvements-in-the-stadium-experience-in-india

<p>IPL 2022 season has begun. More than 3 quarters of the season is almost done. The latest concern regarding the league is the reduced viewership of the league. With the IPL Broadcasting Rights going up for auction in the upcoming month, this has raised a few eyebrows as the estimated 30,000 crores look like an over-estimation. The league has seen a 24% drop in viewership. So, what are the possible reasons for this drop? Here?s an in-depth analysis:?</p>



<h2>Most Successful Teams Not Performing Well in IPL 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>A huge number of fans come from the teams such as the Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Both these teams by far have created a legacy of themselves. The fans just want to see these teams do well. It has become a habit for the users to log on to their TV screen and see<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ravindra-jadeja-hands-over-csk-captaincy-back-to-ms-dhoni/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> MS Dhoni </a>and<em><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/rohit-sharma-is-the-man-behind-kuldeep-yadavs-resurgence-in-the-ipl-2022-says-his-childhood-coach/"> Rohit Sharma </a></em>bash the bowlers. However, this season has had a different story. Both Mumbai and Chennai are struggling big time. Mumbai Indians are in hot waters as the franchise is already out of contention for the title. The same applies to the Super Kings. The <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-3-positives-for-the-mumbai-indians-from-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mumbai Indians </a>have a cumulative fan base of over a billion on their media handles. Imagine losing out on a certain portion of that number!?</p>



<h2>Loss of Players with a Big Brand and Face Value:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>This season is missing out on a few Superstars of the IPL. If you see the RCB batting lineup, you want to see ABD on that list, isn?t it? But that wasn?t the case this year as AB De Villiers announced his retirement from all forms of cricket earlier this year. India?s love for ABD is unmatched and his absence has left many fans dejected as well. ?The other Superstar is China Thala Suresh Raina. The locals from Kanpur and<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-lucknow-super-giants-squad-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Lucknow </a>were supporting Chennai just due to the presence of Mr. IPL. With his departure from the league, a certain section of fans isn?t?seeing Star TV Network every evening at 7:30 pm. ?</p>



<p>Christopher Henry Gayle, the biggest entertainer of the IPL is also not featuring this season. Gayle has an amazing stint with RCB and also with the Punjab Kings. His fan-following in Bangalore is unmatched. There was a time in the IPL, when people just wanted to watch the Universe Boss do what he does best, SMASH! Ben Stokes, Mitchell Starc, Pollard?s poor form, Andre Russell?s poor form in IPL 2022, and Virat and Rohit?s dry runs can all cumulatively add to a reduced viewership. ?</p>



<h2>Length of IPL 2022 and New Teams:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>With two new teams in the mix, it was expected to be an even bigger and larger-than-life experience. But a certain section of people felt that the extended season is getting boring. When the IPL was first staged, people were awaiting a package full of action, thrill, and entertainment in a period of 1 and half months. But the tournament this season goes up to 2 months increasing the length to an unwanted time. With the new teams, the players are also expected to be sub-standard. ?</p>



<p>With 8 teams in the mix like in IPL 2021, only the best 56 players (7 Indians * 8 teams) would showcase their talent. Now the number has risen to 70! I do agree that India has a lot of talent and 70 players can be managed but we need to also consider the standard set by the previous tournaments. A similar problem is faced by ISL and the Pro Kabaddi League. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Over-Packaging and Over-Branding by the Broadcaster:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The current broadcaster considers the IPL as his marquee product. And at times the marketing becomes too much. This season the previews and the highlights packaging started 2 months before the actual tournament. The hype created was so much that the league failed to match it! And eventually, IPL 2022 became overhyped! The fact that it will be a ?10-Team Tournament?, it is the ?World?s Toughest T20 League? was over bombarded the audience. Even limited branding with creative content could have done wonders to the league. ??</p>



<p>In conclusion, I would say that the BCCI is a smart organization. It has the right people to deal with such situations. Great minds like Dada, Jay Shah, and Pragyan Ojha are all geniuses when it comes to the game. We as the fan community have faith in the BCCI and believe that this loophole will be filled at the earliest. ?</p>

IPL 2022: Big Concern. Why is the League Losing Viewership?&nbsp;

ipl-2022-big-concern-why-is-the-league-losing-viewership

<p>IPL 2022 season is almost coming to an end. Today evening we will see an encounter between two of the most successful teams in the IPL. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will be taking on the Mumbai Indians. These are two teams that do not belong to the same pool. Hyderabad hasn?t played Mumbai earlier this season. This will be the first encounter between both teams. Hyderabad will be keen on getting a victory as they need to get their campaign back on track and need to qualify for the playoffs. They have been on a 4-match losing streak. ?</p>



<p>On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians will be looking to try out a few more options. Kieron Pollard might be given game time to find his form back. Tristan Stubbs might get one more game. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma will be looking to go all-guns-blazing. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>IPL 2022: MI VS SRH Match Details:&nbsp;</h2>



<ul><li>Venue: Wankhede Stadium&nbsp;</li><li>Match 65, MI vs CSK.&nbsp;</li><li>Date &amp; Time: May 17, 7:30 PM&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2>IPL 2022, Mumbai Indians: Analysis?</h2>



<p>The Mumbai Indians have already had a dreadful campaign. The only silver line for this team is the arrival of a few young superstars. Tilak Varma has been mighty impressed with the bat and so has <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ajinkya-rahane-ruled-out-of-the-ipl-2022-doubtful-for-the-england-tour/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dewald Brevis</a>. They are not playing Brevis much as they want to keep him unexposed. Kumar Kartikeya Singh has also impressed with his spin bowling abilities. Riley Meredith is another bowler who has given value for money. ?</p>



<p>The problem this season with the Mumbai Indians was the experienced players being out of form. The presence of an in-form Kieron Pollard wasn?t to be seen. Polly is having a tough phase in his career but one can never forget him as he is the face of the<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-3-positives-for-the-mumbai-indians-from-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Mumbai Indians. </a>Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are also looking out of touch. Rohit did show some signs of form but the vintage Ro-Hitman wasn?t visible. The team however is coming off after a thumping victory over the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-match-59-csk-vs-mi-match-prediction-who-will-win-todays-ipl-match-between-chennai-and-mumbai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chennai Super Kings</a> and will be keen to keep the momentum going. ?</p>



<h3>Mumbai Indians Expected Playing XI:?</h3>



<p>Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/india-vs-sa-2022-arshdeep-singh-tilak-varma-and-umran-malik-likely-to-get-a-chance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tilak Varma</a>, Tristan Stubbs, Tim David, Ramandeep Singh, Hrithik Shokeen, Daniel Sams, Jasprit Bumrah, Kumar Kartikeya, Riley Meredith. ?</p>



<h2>IPL 2022, Sunrisers Hyderabad: Analysis?</h2>



<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad is in a state of a dilemma with the form of Kane Williamson. He has had a pretty average season. He has had a season poorer than David Warner has last season. But the flip side of the coin is that the SRH management has to back him because they do not have any other suitable leadership candidate on the team. They have Glenn Phillips on the sidelines but his services can alone be availed by dropping Kane. The batting in the middle-order has been decent but it majorly revolves around Rahul Tripathi. Pooran has to step up big time. ?</p>



<p>With regards to their bowling, the team looks sorted. <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/india-vs-sa-2022-arshdeep-singh-tilak-varma-and-umran-malik-likely-to-get-a-chance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Umran Malik </a>will be keen on clocking the unreal pace he does, once more. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan have also got the job done when it matters the most. Their bowling is not the concern. Their inability to chase scores bigger than 170 is costing them the games. They are failing to capitalize during the crunch situations. The silver line for them is the presence of <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/abhishek-sharma/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Abhishek Sharma</a> and the kind of form he is in. Washington Sundar is back and that will give them a big boost. ?</p>



<h3>Sunrisers Hyderabad Expected Playing XI:?</h3>



<p>Rahul Tripathi, Abhishek Sharma, Glenn Phillips, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Washington Sundar, Shashank Singh, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar(C), Umran Malik, T Natarajan. &nbsp;</p>



<p>IPL 2022: MI VS SRH Probable Top Performers:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Probable Best Batter of the Match: Rohit Sharma.&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Rohit Sharma is not in the prime of form but I have a gut feeling that the law of averages will come into play. The game is at the Wankhede which is a stadium that Rohit knows very well. Rohit has not been in the finest of touch but the Wankhede pitch has some bounce and pace on offer. It is a batter?s paradise. Sunrisers Hyderabad will be looking to implement the strategy of playing the spinner in the powerplay overs. Washington Sundar and Aiden Markram might be the ones bowling to Rohit Sharma in the initial part of the innings. ?</p>



<p>Rohit is now leading the Mumbai Indians that have nothing to lose. It is a team that has already been knocked out and will be looking to spoil the party of the others. A fearless lion is the most dreaded one and that is the case with Rohit Sharma. He will be looking to go all-guns-blazing in today?s game. Vintage Rohit is expected to make a comeback. ?</p>



<h2>Probable Best Bowler of the Match: T Natarajan.&nbsp;</h2>



<p>T Natarajan and Umran Malik have taken responsibility and have carried the bowling of the Sunrisers on their shoulders. Both of them have scalped 18 wickets in the league this season. T Natarajan has the knack for picking wickets. He is exceptional in the death overs. From playing night games for 300 rupees to playing in the IPL, he has come a long way. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Natarajan has been associated with the Sunrisers since 2019 and has become the new face of their bowling unit. Ravi Shastri in a recent interview said, ?He was missed by Team India at the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, had he been available and injury-free the outcome could have been different.? Now that speaks volumes of the belief that the team management has in him. ?</p>

<h2>IPL 2022: CSK vs MI: Winning Prediction&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Mumbai Indians to win the game. &nbsp;</p>



<p>The Mumbai Indians last season as well became a very dominant team when their chances for the playoffs were narrowed down to zero. Last season their last game was against the Sunrisers and the Mumbai team scored 235 runs. The men in blue will walk in fearlessly and are expected to dominate the game. Their batters are going to be the key. ?</p>

<p>The TATA IPL 2022 season has come to a closure. We only have two games left in store for us. The tournament made sure that the cricket community gets the excitement of a lifetime. Credits to the BCCI for organizing the tournament under such nonideal circumstances. The goal of the tournament is to promote young talent and give them an opportunity. Indians have specifically improved in this section. So, here?s a look at the top 5 Indian bowlers of the tournament. Here I am not considering the number of wickets but the impact of the player:&nbsp;</p>



<p>**Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar haven?t been considered as it is pretty much sure that they have dominated the IPL every season. They are&nbsp;in a league of their&nbsp;own. **&nbsp;</p>



<h2>1) Mohammed Shami:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/mohammad-shami-min-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="Mohammed Shami" class="wp-image-90121"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: NDTV SPORTS</figcaption></figure>



<p>Mohammed Shami has been very impressive this season. He is the leader of the pack for the Gujarat Titans. There were games throughout the season where Mohammed Shami decided the fate of the game in the very first over. Every aspiring bowler has always been fond of the seam position that Mohammed manages to keep while bowling. His rhythm is something that makes sure his line and length remain consistent. After having a poor ICC T20 World Cup 2021, he was dropped from the national team. His current performances however make a very strong case for him. He also brings along with him a truck-load of experience. His stats for IPL 2022 are as follows:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Statistic&nbsp;</td><td>Value&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>15&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Wickets&nbsp;</td><td>19&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Economy&nbsp;</td><td>7.98&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Overs Bowled&nbsp;</td><td>57&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>23.95&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>







<h2>2) Mohsin Khan has impressed in TATA IPL 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/Mohsin-Khan-min-1024x683.jpg" alt="Mohsin Khan TATA IPL 2022
" class="wp-image-90123"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: CricketAddictor</figcaption></figure>



<p>When we talk about Indian left-arm pacers, we generally speak of Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra. In recent times India has tried T Natarajan and Khaleel Ahmed but the arrival of Mohsin Khan has given us a lot of hope. The tall bowler from Uttar Pradesh was associated with the Mumbai Indians for many seasons and last year moved to the Lucknow Super Giants. Ever since he got an opportunity, he has been very impressive. He has been clocking 140-145 kmph consistently. He also has a bag full of variations which makes him a complete T20 bowler. With the Indian team constantly looking for a good left-arm pacer, Mohsin can bring that added dimension. Here is a look at his stats from IPL 2022:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Statistic&nbsp;</td><td>Value&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>9&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Wickets&nbsp;</td><td>14&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Economy&nbsp;</td><td>5.97&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Overs Bowled&nbsp;</td><td>33&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>14.07&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>







<h2>3) Arshdeep Singh has been impressive for the Punjab Kings in TATA IPL 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/arshdeep-min.webp" alt="Arshdeep Singh TATA IPL 2022" class="wp-image-90124"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: InsideSports.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Arshdeep Singh, the ?Slim-Sardar? from the Punjab Kings has won a lot of hearts. He was the bowler to bowl the greatest number of yorkers this season. He bowled more yorkers than Jasprit Bumrah, Kagiso Rabada, and T Natarajan. This speaks volumes of the talent that this young man has. Arshdeep didn?t rise in the tally of wickets but has had an economy of below 7 in the death overs. His pace is hovering around 135 which looks decent concerning the international standard. His top variations are the slower ball, the slower-one yorker, the wide yorker which is bowled outside off stump, and the cutter. If we talk about value for money, the Punjab Kings made a steal when they retained him for 4 Crores as an uncapped player. Here is a look at his stats for IPL 2022:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Statistic&nbsp;</td><td>Value&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>14&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Wickets&nbsp;</td><td>10&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Economy&nbsp;</td><td>7.7&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Overs Bowled&nbsp;</td><td>50&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>38.5&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>







<h2>4) Yuzvendra Chahal played for Rajasthan Royals in TATA IPL 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Yuzvendra Chahal has made a strong case for himself to become the highest wicket-taker in the IPL. Every season Chahal walks in and takes 20+ wickets like it's a cakewalk. He may come in front of the camera as a hilarious character but this mastermind is a true wizard. He is very thoughtful. He is a thinking bowler. What works well for him is his daring nature. He is not afraid of flighting the ball. He isn?t scared of going for runs as his skipper has given him that assurance. With every performance of his, he is making sure that the selectors regret not picking him for the national team at the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He along with Ravichandran Ashwin carried the convoy of the Rajasthan bowling. Here is a look at his stats for IPL 2022:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Statistic&nbsp;</td><td>Value&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>15&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Wickets&nbsp;</td><td>26&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Economy&nbsp;</td><td>7.7&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Overs Bowled&nbsp;</td><td>60&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>17.77&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>Honorable Mention:&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>1) Harshal Patel.?</li><li>2) Umesh Yadav.?</li><li>3) Umran Malik.?</li></ul>







<h2>5) Kuldeep Yadav:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/Kuldeep-Yadav-min-1024x569.jpg" alt="Kuldeep Yadav" class="wp-image-90125"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Indian Express.</figcaption></figure>



<p>If any player has made a very strong comeback to the cricketing circuit this IPL, it is Kuldeep Yadav. The kind of backing that Rishabh Pant has given him. The ?chinaman? has made sure that Kolkata Knight Riders regret not retaining him. In the two games that Kuldeep played against KKR, he bagged 8 wickets. Now that?s sweet revenge, isn't it? Kuldeep is similar to Chahal. Even he isn?t afraid to give the ball some air. He wants the ball to hit the deck as softly as possible so that he can get a maximum turn. A wise man once quote, ?Form is temporary and class is permanent.? This has been the exact case with Kuldeep. His current form makes him a good contender for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. Here is a look at his stats for IPL 2022:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Statistic&nbsp;</td><td>Value&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>14&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Wickets&nbsp;</td><td>21&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Economy&nbsp;</td><td>8.44&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Overs Bowled&nbsp;</td><td>49.4&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>19.95&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

TATA IPL 2022: Top 5 Indian Bowlers of the Tournament.&nbsp;

tata-ipl-2022-top-5-indian-bowlers-of-the-tournament

<p dir="ltr"><span>The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</span></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>1: Rohit Sharma (C)</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679065b3730c0.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="493"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Rohit Sharma - The Indian skipper at the top (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian captain and opener Rohit Sharma will be a part of the India-Pakistan combine playing XI. The right-handed batter has exceptional records and stats in ICC tournaments for the Indian Cricket Team.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Rohit Sharma has scored a total of 10,866 runs with an average of 49.16, including 31 centuries and 57 fifties in ODIs. Sharma has this ability to score quick runs and introduce the x-factor of the game for his side. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>2: Babar Azam</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Former Pakistan captain and top-order batter Babar Azam would also be a part of the combined ODI playing XI. Though he has been scorched off form recently and has faced sheer criticism, however, the players great antics cannot be overlooked owing to his sudden dip in form. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Babar Azam has managed to score 5,957 runs with an average of 56,73, including 19 centuries and 34 fifties.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>3: Virat Kohli</span></h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer"><strong>Shreyas Iyer </strong></a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.</span></p>

<p><span>New Pakistan skipper - Mohammad Rizwan (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan fins his name in this combined playing XI for India and Pakistan. The currently named skipper of the Pakistan limited-overs side, has produced results after his immediate effect.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Mohammad Rizwan has scored a total of 2,352 runs with an average of 41.26, including 3 centuries and 15 fifties, however, he is one of the most standout players for Pakistan in the middle-order. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>6: Hardik Pandya</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian all-rounder <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardik_Pandya"><strong>Hardik Pandya</strong></a> has been the asset for the Indian side, winning matches on several occasions.

<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>7: Shadab Khan</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Shadab Khan, the Leg-spin bowling all-rounder has been a crucial player for the Pakistan cricket team in recent times.Though Shadab Khan has not featured much for Pakistan in recent times, his services have been relished by the nation when it comes to limited-overs cricket. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shadab Khan has 855 runs and 85 wickets for the Pakistan side to his name.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>8: Kuldeep Yadav</span></h3>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm Chinaman bowler, has had an immense impact on India’s performances under sub-continent conditions. He is known for his standout services in the ODI format and hence features as the only main spin bowling option in the 11.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Kuldeep Yadav has taken 172 wickets for the Indian side with an economy of just 4.99.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Shaheen Shah Afridi has seemingly restored his form after his work stress was reduced, as the pacer has this supreme ability to swing the new ball on both sides. For Pakistan, Shaheen has been a proven matchwinner in several high-profile games in ICC tournaments.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>10: Jasprit Bumrah</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.</span></p>

<p><strong>Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: </strong>The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a fascinating position ahead of the IPL 2025 season. The team is primed for success with a revamped squad and a renewed focus. However, one crucial question looms large: who should lead the team? The experienced KL Rahul, or the dependable all-rounder Axar Patel? Let’s break down the dynamics and possibilities that each captaincy option offers.</p>
<h2><strong>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</strong></h2>
<p>KL Rahul comes to Delhi with a rich IPL pedigree. Over the years, he has proven himself as a prolific run-scorer, amassing over 4,600 runs at a phenomenal average of 45-plus. His experience as captain of the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants has shown his ability to guide a team to playoff stages, which he achieved twice with LSG. Rahul’s batting consistency and calm demeanor make him an attractive choice to lead DC.</p>
<p>However, Rahul’s captaincy style has been criticized for being conservative, particularly regarding his strike rate and decision-making in crunch moments. This could be a concern for a team like the Delhi Capitals, which boasts explosive batting talent and needs a captain capable of effectively utilizing this firepower.</p>
<h2><strong>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</strong></h2>
<p>On the other hand, Axar Patel represents a new-age leader with a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations. Axar has been DC's vice-captain and even stepped in as captain for a game in IPL 2024. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key player, and his recent appointment as India’s T20 vice-captain adds to his leadership credentials.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Axar’s performances last season were nothing short of stellar, with 235 runs at a healthy strike rate and 11 wickets at an economy of 7.66. His all-around prowess, coupled with his understanding of the DC squad, makes him a strong contender for the captaincy.</p>
<p>Choosing between Rahul and Axar is essentially a choice between two distinct leadership styles. Rahul brings stability and experience, having captained for multiple IPL seasons. His presence can calm nerves during tense moments, which is invaluable for a team aiming for the playoffs. Axar, however, offers a dynamic and aggressive approach, potentially aligning better with DC’s young and energetic squad.</p>
<h2><strong>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</strong></h2>
<p>Delhi’s 2025 squad is packed with talent across the board. In the batting department, players like Harry Brook, Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk add explosive options, while KL Rahul himself remains a cornerstone at number three. The pace unit, led by Mitchell Starc and supported by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, is formidable. However, the reliance on Axar and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department highlights a potential area of concern.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Delhi Capitals Squad: Harry Brook, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis, Mukesh Kumar, Darshan Nalkande, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Ajay Mandal, Manwanth Kumar, Trupurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari. DC retentions: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel.</p>
<h2><strong>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</strong></h2>
<p>Under Rahul, DC might adopt a more methodical approach, relying on his ability to anchor innings and guide young players like Abishek Porel and Fraser-McGurk. Axar’s leadership could inject a more fearless and intuitive style, encouraging aggressive cricket and leveraging DC’s bench strength, including veterans like Faf du Plessis.</p>
<p>One key consideration is how the captaincy might affect their individual performances. While Rahul’s form as an opener has been a consistent asset, Axar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball is crucial to DC’s balance. Assigning the captaincy to Axar could be a gamble, but it might pay off if it inspires the team to rally around a fresh vision.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the choice of captain will reflect DC’s strategic priorities. If the franchise prioritizes experience and a steady hand, KL Rahul is the natural choice. However, if they aim for a bold and innovative approach, Axar Patel might be the leader to take them to new heights.</p>
<p><strong>Either way, the Delhi Capitals possess the ingredients for a successful campaign, and the captaincy debate only adds to the intrigue surrounding their 2025 IPL journey. They are one of the strong contenders for the trophy this year.</strong></p>
<p></p>

KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?

Delhi Capitals faces a tough captaincy choice for IPL 2025: experienced KL Rahul or dynamic Axar Patel. Both offer distinct leadership styles, which will shape DC's approach with their star-studded squad and bold ambitions.

Delhi Capitals must choose between KL Rahul’s steady leadership or Axar Patel’s dynamic approach to maximize their IPL 2025 potential.

Can Delhi Capitals win IPL 2025? KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?
