IPL 2022 | CSK vs RCB | Match 22 Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be keen to maintain their winning streak in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 when they take on the defending champion Chennai Super Kings in the 22nd match of the tournament at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai, on April 11. 


After losing their opening clash against Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore went on to win their next three games and currently find themselves at the fourth spot of the points table with 6 points in their kitty. 


They are coming off a seven-wicket victory over the five-time champions Mumbai Indians and are currently on a three-match winning streak. 


Anuj Rawat's return in the form will be a massive boost for the men in red. Virat Kohli looked good with the bat, while Dinesh Karthik has stepped up and delivered whenever the team needed him the most. In addition, Glenn Maxwell's inclusion on the side has provided them with further stability. 


Their bowlers have been impressive as well, barring Mohammad Siraj, who looked off-colour in the last three matches he played for RCB. Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Akash Deep and David Willey have been their best bowlers so far. 


On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings is having a dismal season under their new captain Ravindra Jadeja. They have lost all the four matches they played in the tournament and are currently dwelling at the bottom of the points table. 


They lost their previous game against SunRisers Hyderabad by eight wickets as none of their bowlers could manage to keep the Hyderabad batters on their backfoot. Nothing has gone in the Super Kings' favour so far.


The orange cap holder of IPL 2021, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ambati Rayudu are yet to make noise with the bat. Moeen Ali and Dwayne Bravo also looked ordinary in the last few games. Dwaine Pretorius, who performed well with the ball for CSK, was dropped in their previous match against Hyderabad. 


However, they will be keen to get off the mark against a strong Royal Challengers Bangalore side led by Faf du Plessis. We are in for a cracking IPL 2022 game with two valuable points up for grabs.

Pitch Report 

The pitch at Dr DY Patil Stadium offers a balanced surface. The quick bowlers are expected to get the new ball to swing early on, keeping the batters on their toes. However, the batters need to set their eyes before going for big shots. The spinners will come into play as the game progresses. Both teams will look to bat first after winning the toss, with 160-170 being a good total at the venue.

SA vs BAN | South Africa becomes the 1st team to use COVID-19 substitutes in international cricket

In a first, the South African cricket team replaced Sarel Erwee and Wiaan Mulder with Khaya Zondo and Glenton Stuurman in their playing XI on Monday to become the first side to use COVID-19 substitutes in international cricket. It happened ahead of what turned out to be the final day of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh when two members of the Proteas' playing XI- Sarel Erwee and Wiaan Mulder- tested positive for COVID-19. Confirming the development, Cricket South Africa (CSA) released an official statement that read: "Khaya Zondo will make his Test debut on Day 4 of the 2nd #BetwayTest against Bangladesh after Sarel Erwee and Wiaan Mulder tested positive for Covid-19. The pair replaced with Zondo and Glenton Stuurman." Speaking on the development, CSA's chief medical officer Dr. Shuaib Manjira described it as an unfortunate but expected situation given the series was being played in a managed environment where the movement of players was allowed and not in a strict bio-bubble. "This is an unfortunate situation, but not unexpected after the decision was made to have this tour under the Managed Event Environment (MEE) protocol, rather than the strict Bio-safe Environment (BSE) Protocol as was previously the case," Manjira said. "This is in line with the country's policy in revoking the Disaster Management Act concerning the pandemic and the huge mental strain that a bubble environment induces," he added. Also, this is the first-ever instance of a side opting for Covid-19 substitutes in international cricket. The proliferation of COVID-19 in the South African camp and the subsequent Covid replacements did not have any bearing on the match as the Proteas thumped a hapless Bangladesh unit by a whopping 332 runs. Bangladesh's second innings proved to be an exact carbon copy of the Durban Test, where they were rolled over by the spin-duo of Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer. A similar sort of thing happened at Port Elizabeth on the 4th day as Maharaj once again claimed a seven-wicket-haul, with Harmer wiping out the rest. Maharaj finished with figures of 7/40 in 12 overs as Bangladesh were shot out for a mere 80 in just 23.3 overs. Thanks to a commanding win in PE, South Africa wrapped a successful summer of Test cricket, which saw them beat India 2-1 and Bangladesh 2-0 at home and eke out a draw 1-1 in New Zealand.

IPL 2022 | SRH vs GT | Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowls the most expensive 1st over in IPL history

Sunrisers Hyderabad's ace seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar created an unwanted record to his name on Monday night as he bowled the most expensive first over in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Deciding to bowl first in an all-important game against the Gujarat Titans (GT), the Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to the worst possible start as their marquee pacer Bhuvneshwar failed to control his line and length. Bhuvi conceded as many as 17 runs in the first over, which consisted of nine deliveries. He started with an outswinger to Matthew Wade, which proceeded to take the outside edge off the Australian wicketkeeper's bat to run away for a boundary. Bhuvi struggled to control his line against the left-handed Wade and was guilty of dishing it well down the leg-side, offering no chance to the wicketkeeper to collect the ball. As a result, the ball dribbled away for another boundary. He repeated the same against Shubman Gill on the next delivery, although it wasn't wide enough to evade the keeper. He tested Gill outside the off-stump, but just as it looked like the Indian international was getting back to his former self, the change in angle to the left and right-hander proved to be his undoing. As a result, the Uttar Pradesh cricketer dished out yet another leg-side wide to give five easy runs to the Gujarat Titans. He finally got his radar right in the last two deliveries of the over against Wade, eventually ending it with a couple of dot balls. Bhuvi ended up conceding 17 runs, which is now the record for most runs conceded by a bowler in the opening over of an IPL game. The right-arm swing bowler did redeem himself in his next over as he dismissed an in-form Shubman Gill for a 9-ball 7. But the wicket was mostly thanks to the fielding effort of Rahul Tripathi, who dived to his left to claim a stunning grab after Gill tried to punch a harmless half-volley past extra-cover. At the time of writing, the Titans had moved registered a total of 162 runs, with skipper Hardik Pandya top-scoring with a half-century.
