Dharamsala, May 20 (Ians) Half-centuries from Yashwasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal followed by Shimron Hetmyers’ stunning 46-run knock powered Rajasthan Royals to a 4-wicket win over Punjab Kings (Pbks) in a do-or-die match in Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, here on Friday.
The Royals thus put themselves in contention for the Playoffs spots as they moved to fifth on the table with this four-wicket win while Punjab Kings are officially out of the race.
After a shaky start, Sam Curran’s unbeaten 49 off 31 and Shahrukh Khan’s quickfire 41 not out off 28 balls along with Jitesh Sharma’s 31-ball 44 guided Punjab Kings to 187/5 in 20 overs.
In reply, half-centuries from Padikkal (51 off 30) and Jaiswal (50 off 36) and Hetmyer’s remarkable knock of 46 in just 28 deliveries and got them close to the finish line. Then Dhruv Jurel sealed the deal with a six helping his side to seal a win with two remaining.

Kolkata, May 11 (Ians) Yuzvendra Chahal became the leading wicket-taker in history of the Ipl through a mesmerising 4/25 while Yashasvi Jaiswal made mockery of a two-paced pitch by smashing an unbeaten 47-ball 98, including the quickest-ever fifty of the tournament in 13 balls, as Rajasthan Royals thrashed Kolkata Knight Riders by nine wickets in an season 2023 match at Eden Gardens, here on Thursday.

Jaiswal was then sparkling in his strokeplay, combining bravado and fearless approach to hit 13 fours and five sixes at a strike-rate of 208.51.
The left-handed opener reaching fifty in 13 balls was like a video game in fast-forward mode, leaving the fans in awe of the ability to clear the infield and pick gaps with immaculate ease and precise footwork while taking down Kolkata’s bowlers in jaw-dropping fashion.

Bengaluru, April 23 (Ians) After Faf du Plessis (62) and Glenn Maxwell’s (77) 127-run stand, Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered a batting collapse as late strikes from Rajasthan Royal (Rr) restricted the hosts to 189/9 in 20 overs in an Ipl 2023 match here at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.
After losing two wickets early in the Power-play, Du Plessis and Maxwell held the fort and stitched a 127-run stand for the third wicket. After the duo was dismissed within two overs, Rcb lost the next five wickets in quick succession.
Put in to bat first, Rcb suffered two early blows in the form of Virat Kohli and Shahbaz Ahmed. Then, Faf du Plessis and Glen Maxwell got into the rebuilding act and took the Power-play score to 62/2.
Trent Boult started the attack brilliantly as he first trapped skipper Kohli for a first-ball duck. He then removed Shahbaz on the first of the third over, leaving...

Bengaluru, April 23 (Ians) Rajasthan Royals (Rr) won the toss and opted to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) in an Ipl 2023 match at M.A Chinnaswamy Stadium, here on Sunday.
While Rr stuck to the same playing XI, Rcb made one change as David Willey came in for Wayne Parnell.
“Looking at the conditions, our side and their side. So we’d prefer bowling. The dressing room is simple, honest and we need to respect the way we are playing. We are starting with the same XI, might add someone later on,” Rr skipper Sanju Samson said at the toss.
On the other hand, Rcb stand-in captain Virat Kohli said the regular skipper Faf du Plessis continues to play as an impact substitute.
“It was pretty easy to choose, we’d have batted first. This wicket looks dry and it will get drier and might break up first. I...

Jaipur, April 20 (Ians) Rajasthan Royals had an 87-run opening partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler but impressive performances by Lucknow Super Giants bowlers, led by Avesh Khan’s 3/25 and Marcus Stoinis’ 2/28 helped their team win by ten runs in an Ipl 2023 match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, here on Wednesday.
At the mid-stage of the game, Rajasthan kept Lucknow to 154/7 despite Kyle Mayers making 51 and it looked like a below-par total on a two-paced pitch.
Till the 11th over, Rajasthan didn’t lose any wicket and seemed to be cruising towards the target. But Stoinis taking out both openers got the match in Lucknow’s favour as Rajasthan lost four wickets for 32 runs from overs 12-17. Lucknow bowlers used conditions and big leg-side boundary to dry up runs as required run-rate climbed up, resulting in Rajasthan eventually ending at 144/6 in 20 overs.

Jaipur, April 19 (Ians) A neat bowling performance helped Rajasthan Royals restrict Lucknow Super Giants to 154/7 despite Kyle Mayers’ fighting fifty in Match 26 of Ipl 2023 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, here on Wednesday.
On a pitch which has not been easy for stroke-play, Lucknow did not lose a wicket in the powerplay but made only 37 runs.
From there, Rajasthan bowlers, led by Ravichandran Ashwin’s 2/23 and a terrific last over from Sandeep Sharma, kept things tight. Despite some big overs, Lucknow never got the desired finishing kick, with Mayers being the standout performer though he struggled to time the ball for a large part of his stay at the crease.
Pushed into batting first, Lucknow had a sedate powerplay. With a hint of assistance for Rajasthan bowlers, as Trent Boult bowled a maiden opening over, Kl Rahul and Kyle Mayers had to be circumspect though they took a boundary each off Sandeep in the second over.

Ahmedabad, April 17 (Ians) Rajasthan Royals pacer Trent Boult has said that “hunger from the batting unit” took the team to a thrilling win over the defending champion Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (Ipl) match.
Rr was struggling at 55-4 at the halfway stage in front of exceptional bowling from Gt’s new-ball bowlers. However, a splendid show from captain Sanju Samson (60) and a batting blitz at the death from hit-man Shimron Hetmyer (56*) helped Royals record a three-wicket win over Titans on Sunday.
“We got some very talented batters on our side and I think the real positive is seeing guys stand up at different times. Different guys standing up at different times has helped us win the game from different situations.

Ahmedabad, April 17 (Ians) Rajasthan Royals were literally in a no man’s land at 66/4 in 12 overs in pursuit of chasing down 178 against a Gujarat Titans bowling attack, who bowled 26 dot balls in the first six overs.
With 112 more runs off 48 balls, not many would have given them a chance for a victory. But captain Sanju Samson unleashed by taking 20 runs off Rashid Khan in the 13th over to eventually make 60 while Shimron Hetmyer smashed a whirlwind unbeaten 56 off just 26 balls to give Rajasthan an improbable three-wicket victory.
The stunning last-over heist also means Rajasthan retain their top spot on the points table with eight points. Samson and Hetmyer added a crucial stand of 59 runs off 27 balls, followed by the latter adding 47 runs off 20 deliveries with Dhruv Jurel to complete the chase with four balls to spare.
Mohammed Shami built pressure from the word go while troubling Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler.

Ahmedabad, April 16 (Ians) David Miller was dropped on six on his seventh ball as Adam Zampa made a mess of a regulation caught and bowled chance and he capitalised on it and went on to top-score with 46 off 30 balls and propelled Gujarat Titans to a competitive 177/7 against Rajasthan Royals in an Ipl 2023 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, here on Sunday.
Apart from Miller, Gujarat were also aided by 45 from Shubman Gill, 28 from Hardik Pandya and 27 from Abhinav Manohar at the back end of the innings. For Rajasthan, pacer Sandeep Sharma was pick of bowlers with 2/25, while Zampa, Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult took a wicket each.
Pushed into batting first, Gujarat weren’t allowed to break free by Rajasthan’s bowlers. Wriddhiman Saha gave a fat top-edge on a hoick and with wicketkeeper as well as two fielders converging, Trent Boult took a catch on rebound off keeper’s gloves.

Chennai, April 13 (Ians) Rajasthan Royals’ off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin lauded seamer Sandeep Sharma, saying he enjoyed the composure showed by him while defending 21 runs in the final over against Chennai Super Kings to seal a thrilling three-run win at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium.
Bowling the last over with 21 runs to defend, Sandeep began the over with two wides and M.S. Dhoni hitting a brace of excellent sixes. With seven runs needed off three balls, Sandeep bowled a wide length ball and then produced two yorkers that Dhoni and Jadeja could only take singles off, giving Rajasthan a nervy victory in breaching fortress Chepauk.
It is to be noted that Sandeep, a vastly experienced fast bowler, came into the Rajasthan team as a replacement player for injured Prasidh Krishna and was not originally picked by any of the ten teams in the player auction held last year.
“I really enjoy his commitment and attitude.

Chennai, April 13 (Ians) A brilliant all-round effort by Ravichandran Ashwin (30 runs & 2-25) and a fine half-century by Jos Buttler (52) helped Rajasthan Royals prevail over Chennai Super Kings by three runs in a thrilling Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 encounter here in which M.S Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja waged a valiant battle that went in vain.
Buttler had helped Rajasthan Royals recover from the shock of losing Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) and with help from Devdutt Padikkal (38), Ashwin (30) and Shimron Hetmyer (30 not out) helped them reach a competitive 175/8 in their 20 overs after they were asked to bat first by Csk.
Chasing a target of 176 on a slow turner and with dew coming down in copious amounts was expected to be easy for Chennai Super Kings in what was the 200th match for Dhoni as captain.

Abu Dhabi, Nov 9 (Ians) Delhi Capitals batsman Shikhar Dhawan has revealed that he thought he was caught plumb in front during his dismissal against SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) but later as he reached the boundary fence, he realised he should have reviewed the decision during Qualifier 2 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (Ipl).
On Sunday evening, Dhawan played a superb knock of 78 before he got out Lbw to a full-toss bowled by Srh medium pacer Sandeep Sharma in the 19th over while trying to go for a reverse ramp shot. Srh players appealed and got the decision in their favour. However, later the replays showed the impact of the ball was outside the off-stump.
Following the dismissal, former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh took to Twitter to troll the Delhi batsman. "Shikhar Dhawan man in form but naam to jatt ji hai... how bout Drs bro? As usual must have forgotten," tweeted Yuvraj.

Sharma provided the breakthrough in the form of Devdutt Padikkal who could make only five runs before dismissing Rcb captain Virat Kohli for the seventh time in the Ipl.

Sharjah, Oct 30 (Ians/GloFans) After two back to back defeats, the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) will be desperate for a win against SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) on Saturday in the Indian Premier League (Ipl). A win in this match will be enough for Rcb to secure a spot in the playoffs.
While Rcb sit at the second place with 14 points, Srh lie at the sixth spot with just 10 points. Srh need to win both their matches left and loads of luck to qualify for the playoffs.
The David Warner-led Srh will be high on confidence after their massive 88-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) on Tuesday. It was Srh's top-order that fired in unison to put up a huge total (219/2) on board before their bowlers set the Dubai International Cricket Stadium ablaze as they wrapped up Delhi for a paltry 131 runs.

New Delhi, Oct 29 (Ians) Speedster Dale Steyn's poor performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League where he has picked just one wicket in three matches and conceded 11.40 runs an over can be blamed on lack of cricket due to Covid-19 restrictions, believes former South Africa fast bowler Fanie de Villiers.
de Villiers, who played Test and Odi cricket for South Africa in the 1990s and is now a cricket commentator, believes that due to no cricket prior to the Ipl, Steyn hasn't been able to mobilise the finer motor on variations in bowling needed in limited-overs format like T20 cricket.
"The rules and regulations in South Africa during Covid-19 were so strict that you could not go out and practice even a bit. He is not young and has suffered from injury (in recent past), so he needed a bit of cricket before getting into Ipl. I'd...

Dubai, Oct 26 (Ians/GloFans) After two consecutive defeats, against Punjab and Kolkata respectively, Delhi Capitals (DC) will aim to put their campaign back on track when they face a struggling SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) here on Tuesday.
The last time the two sides squared-off in the season, the David Warner-led Srh came out victorious by 15 runs. However, Srh's campaign derailed afterwards while the Shreyas Iyer-led DC fired collectively to come close to qualifying for the playoffs. Another win would further strengthen DC's position at the top of the points table.
The DC top-order has succumbed under pressure in the recent past, except Shikhar Dhawan, but he too failed against Kolkata. The same was the issue with Ajinkya Rahane, who was promoted to open the innings in absence of Prithvi Shaw.
Iyer has been in good form but the lower middle-order, comprising Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer, has struggled after making a comeback.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 17 (Ians/GloFans) A change in Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) leadership failed to bring a change in luck as the two-time Indian Premier League (Ipl) champions endured an eight-wicket hammering against Mumbai Indians (Mi) on Friday. They will hope for a positive result on Sunday when they clash with SunRisers Hyderabad, who too are in a bad shape.
After some successive below-par performances, Kkr, placed fourth on the points table, had a change of captaincy. Under fire skipper Dinesh Karthik handed over the reins to Eoin Morgan, England's World Cup-winning captain, but there was no change in the result in the game against Mumbai Indians.
Kkr's main concern has been the inconsistency of its batsmen. Kkr boasts of promising players like Rahul Tripathi, Shubman Gill, Morgan and Russell. Despite the fact they all have failed to keep the momentum going.

Dubai, Oct 13 (Ians) Chennai Super Kings (Csk), who come into Tuesday's Ipl match against SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) on the back of two successive defeats, won by 20 runs for their third win of the 13th edition.
After scoring 167/6 wickets in their 20 overs, Csk restricted Srh to 147/8 wickets at the Dubai International Stadium.

Ravindra Jadeja (1/21) broke the stand, after it had produced 32 runs, by taking Bairstow's middle stump after which Priyam Garg put up 40 with Williamson for the fourth.
Shardul Thakur (1/10) and Dwayne Bravo (2/25) put the breaks on the Srh innings in the last two overs. Rashid Khan (14) was dismissed via hit-wicket off Shardul off the last ball of the penultimate over after which Bravo conceded just one run in the last.

du Plessis fell to Sandeep Sharma (2/19) for a first ball duck after waiting for two overs to get on strike. Curran became Sandeep's second wicket of the day after which Watson and Rayudu provided stability to Csk.
