IPL 2022 | MI vs RR | Match 9 - Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

Onecricket

To continue their winning run in the tournament, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 9th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai.

Yet again, MI did not have a great start to their IPL 2022 campaign as they were outplayed by Delhi Capitals (DC) in their first game. The five-time champions carried on their unwanted record of losing their season opener. 

After putting to bat first, they posted 177 runs on the scoreboard, thanks to their openers Ishan Kishan (81 off 48) and Rohit Sharam (41 off 32). DC, in reply, chased down the score with ten balls to spare. 

Mumbai's bowling looked off-colour against DC's lower middle-order. Jasprit Bumrah, one of the most experienced Mumbai blokes, got bashed as he gave away 43 runs in 3.2 overs. Rohit Sharma's decision of giving the 18th over to Daniel Sams backfired as he got some serious beating by Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel. 

On the other hand, the Royals are coming off a substantial 61-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). They shined in all three departments against Kane Williamson and co. 

Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, and Jos Buttler performed well with the bat, while Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna excelled with the ball. 

Rajasthan Royals must be riding high on confidence after their massive win over SRH in their opening game. They must be looking to sustain the momentum against Mumbai Indians as well. 

Therefore, the five-time winners would need to put on a better show with the bat, especially considering how good Rajasthan's bowling and batting lineup is.

Pitch Report 

The Dr DY Patil Sports Academy pitch is a good one to bat on. The surface looked a bit dry in the last game and helped spinners in the later hours. We can expect the same for this game as well. Overall, a batting track will be on offer while the team winning the toss should look to field first.

Umar Gul named as bowling coach for Afghanistan cricket team

Former Pakistan fast bowler Umar Gul has been appointed as the new bowling coach of the Afghanistan cricket team. The world cup-winning ex-speedster will join the Afghanistan cricket team's camp in Abu Dhabi on the 4th of April. The 37-year old has signed a short term contract with the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) of three weeks, but it could be extended. Gul, during his illustrious international career, bagged 427 wickets in 237 games for Pakistan. The ex-Pakistan international possesses plenty of coaching experience at the domestic level as he was the bowling coach of Quetta Gladiators in Pakistan Super League (PSL) and Galle Gladiators in Lanka Premier League (LPL). "After coaching at PSL, KPL, LPL and domestic level, it is a pleasure to be associated with an international team. I will try my best to help the Afghan bowlers with my experience," Gul was quoted by Cricket Pakistan. Gul, considered one of the finest bowlers in T20 Cricket, will try and improve the pace bowling unit of the Afghanistan men's side. The Asian side possesses world-class spinners; however, they are devoid of some genuine fast bowlers, which has been a massive concern for them over the years. Former England batter, Graham Thorpe, was appointed as the head coach of the Afghanistan Cricket Team a few days back after the latter parted ways with England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) after the humiliating 4-nil Ashes defeat. Umar Gul will be seen in action alongside Thorpe, who will be looking to take Afghanistan Cricket forward. Afghanistan men's national team will be in action in a five-match T20I series against Ireland in August as part of preparations for the T20 World Cup in Australia.

IPL 2022 | Cummins joins KKR Camp for IPL 2022, likely to feature vs Mumbai Indians on April 6

Good News for KKR fans! Australian Test skipper Pat Cummins has joined the Kolkata Knight Riders after completing his mandatory quarantine. He will be available to play for the franchise from April 6 onwards. However, Cricket Australia's No Objection (NOC) Certificate restricts him to play before April 6 as the management locked its players until April 5 due to Australia's ongoing tour of Pakistan. Test skipper Pat Cummins, who captained Australia to a historic win in the Test series against Pakistan, returned home and caught up with his family before departing for India for a cash-rich tournament. However, few senior players in the squad made themselves unavailable for the white ball series vs Pakistan. Notably, Australian player Cummins was the most expensive player at the IPL 2020 Mega Auction. IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders signed him for a whopping Rs 15.50 crore. Kolkata retained him for the same amount in 2021 as well. He scored 229 runs and scalped 21 wickets for KKR across the two seasons. Despite his decent performances in IPL 2020 and 2021, KKR did not retain him ahead of the fifteenth edition of IPL but bought him back for INR 7.25 crore. However, Kolkata Knight Riders have played two games in IPL 2022 so far, registering a win vs CSK and a loss vs RCB. Hence, KKR will play against the Mumbai Indians on April 6 in Pune. It will be quite more interesting to see if Pat Cummins has a role to play in that match. KKR Squad: Kolkata Knight Riders Shreyas Iyer (captain), Pat Cummins, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, Venkatesh Iyer, Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana, Shivam Mavi, Sheldon Jackson, Ajinkya Rahane, Rinku Singh, Anukul Roy, Rasikh Dar, B Indrajith, Abhijeet Tomar, Pratham Singh, Ashok Sharma, Sam Billings, Aaron Finch, Ramesh Kumar, Mohammad Nabi, Umesh Yadav, Aman Khan, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, Venkatesh Iyer, Sunil Narine
