After successively losing the toss RR's Skipper Samson finally won the toss and elected to bowl first. Kohli was looking ferocious against RR when he hit Boult for a six towards the deep square leg but was soon dismissed by his most prominent weakness which is the ball outside the off-stump which was a short ball that Kohli misjudged and was caught by Samson behind. But the fall of the wicket of Kohli was ineffectual against RCB as Patidar had his onslaught of runs and scored 58 off 42 and had a significant partnership with Du Plessis of 70 runs. Maxwell could have been the aggressor for RCB but was soon dismissed in the fine leg region by playing an unorthodox shot(his favourite).  Credits: https://img1.hscicdn.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_ds_square_w_800,...

  Faf's Army eliminated LSG from the playoffs as they defeated them by 14 runs. The promising and lethal Mohsin Khan earned the right to make LSG fans go ballistic as he dismissed Faf on duck but the wicket of Du Plessis was just the commencement of a fairy tale for a promising and youthful cricketer.  Credits: https://images.hindustantimes.com/img/2022/05/26/1600x900/patidar_1653539318394_1653539387127.PNG Patidar made a record in IPL by becoming the only uncapped player in the tournament to hit a century in playoffs. He had a formidable partnership with Virat Kohli which comprised hooks and drives towards the offside region. Patidar had unleashed his carnage of runs specifically on spinners Bishnoi and Krunal and had Bishnoi for 27 runs in an over and completed his century by hitting a six in the fine leg region. Kohli had a mediocre inning in which hit 25 off 24 balls and didn't look threatening throughout his whole innings. Maxwell and Lomror both failed to put up big...

DC startled everyone by making Sarfaraz open the innings for them and PBKS did not shy away from it as they opened their bowling attack with Livingstone who did not disappoint Mayank as he took the wicket of menacing Warner who was caught by Chahar on the point region. But the dismissal of Warner did not impact DC'S batting as Sarfaraz and Marsh both had unleashed the carnage of their runs and Sarfaraz did not want to stop until he was caught by Chahar in the long-off region. If Sarfaraz would have remained at t...

The hard-hitting Rajapaksa could not put up a big score today and was dismissed by his Sri Lankan counterpart Hasaranga.

It looked as if both Eng...

GT had won the toss and elected to bat first at a pitch which wasn't ideal for stroke playing and lofted shots. LSG's Debutant Karan Sharma had dropped the catch of Gill at the third man otherwise the result of the match would have been something else. The unpredictable 'anchor' or/and 'aggressor' Saha went for cheap. Wade finally returned to the Titans and looked promising as he hit Chameera for two successive fours but was caught behind while playing his trademark 'lap shot'.
