Gaikwad reckons IPL 2022 pitches were bowler friendly

Ruturaj Gaikwad is turning out to be one of the rising stars in the present era. He hogged the limelight when he finished as the leading run scorer in the IPL 2021 season. The right-handed batter also went on to win the Orange Cap.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/ruturaj-gaikwad-15_06_2022.jpg">Ruturaj Gaikwad However, he failed to bring the best game out of himself in the IPL 2022 season. He struggled to find form in the first half of the season. Despite his string of low scores, he managed to turn things around by scoring 368 runs in 14 games. He registered his personal best score of 99 and ended up as the leading run-scorer for CSK in the last season. The 25-year-old has opened up that the pitches in IPL 2022 were bowler-friendly. The conditions were tailor-made for the bowlers as it helped them generate turn and swing. 

The Maharashtra-born further added that he was dismissed for good deliveries in a few matches where the balls went straight in the fielders. As a result, he departed for cheap scores.&nbsp;Needless to say, the opening batter further added that it is all part of the T20 game as there will be some bad days at the office. He also stressed the fact that it is more important to remain consistent mentally which is the ultimate key to success.<h2>It is all about trusting your process: Ruturaj Gaikwad</h2>“I think in the IPL in 2-3 games I got out to good balls where some dismissals you know good shots went into the fielder’s hand. I think that is part of T20 cricket, you won’t have your days every day, you will have off days. It is just a matter of staying consistent mentally and trusting your process,” said Gaikwad in a press conference.“In the IPL, the wickets were slightly I would say, bowler-friendly because there was not much, I would say flat wicket, two-paced wickets, the ball was turning, there was some swing and all," he further added.Gaikwad played exceptionally well during the third T20I against Proteas. He scored 57 off 35 balls with the help of seven boundaries and two sixes.

Lynn dominating Vitality T20 Blast 

Australian batsman Chris Lynn is one
of the most destructive batsmen in world cricket. However, the Australian
cricketer did not get a team in this year's edition of the Indian Premier
League (IPL). But forgetting this, he’s in the terrible form in the ongoing
vitality blast.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/lynn-10_06_2022.jpg">In the past, Lynn played in the
IPL for Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight
Riders. However, no franchise showed interest in buying him in this year’s IPL auction.
After the start of such a tournament, teams had opportunities to buy Lynn
because of the injury problems of the foreign cricketers, but no one reached
out to him.
The popular star of the franchise
league and T20 cricket seems to be responding to that negligence with magnificent
performances. He is playing devastating innings one after another for Northamptonshire.
The 32-year-old star has been
dismissed for zero in one match after batting in six matches so far. He has
scored two centuries and two half-centuries in the remaining five innings.
After an unbeaten innings of 83, 106 and 61, he played another unbeaten innings
of 113 on Thursday (June 9).
The right-handed batsman remained
unbeaten on 113 off just 57 balls against Worcestershire, hitting eight fours
and nine sixes. Without any doubt, he’s the highest run-scorer in the
tournament with 379 runs at an average of 94.75! Where the strike rate is 166.22.

Kiran More says, Hardik Pandya is now a four-dimensional player

Hardik Pandya has silenced the critics with his exploits in IPL 2022. He played 15 games and averaged 44.27 for 487 runs, including four half-centuries.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/hardik-pandya-03_06_2022.jpg"><a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/727/hardik-pandya">Hardik Pandya</a> was named Man of the Match in the 2022 IPL Finals for his all-around performance on the field. Pandya led his team to glory in an impressive racquet campaign. Not many gave them a chance to make it to the playoffs after the mega auction, let alone go all the way in this year's competition. After triumphing in his first IPL stint as captain, former Indian cricketer Kiran More has praised Hardik's fabulous performance at the 2022 IPL.The all-rounder hasn't had the best times in recent months. He carried injuries that limited his bowling time and was also dropped from the national team. But this season we saw a different Pandya as he moved up the batting order and played responsible shots for his team at crucial points in their campaign. The hard-hitting batter amassed 487 runs this season with four half-centuries to his name.Former Indian cricketer <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/8106/kiran-more">Kiran More</a> spoke about Hardik Pandya and explained why he believes Hardik Pandya is now a 4th dimensional cricketer. “The best moment for me in IPL 15 was the way the Gujarat Titans played cricket. It was outstanding. And especially when Hardik became captain and won the trophy, his personal performance was just as brilliant. Moving from Mumbai Indians to Gujarat Titans, it's not that easy to go and lead the new team and immediately win the championship," Kiran More said on the SG Podcast. 

Kiran More recalled Hardik Pandya's early days in the sport as he used to play in his academy. “To me, Hardik was a young kid who wanted to perform all the time. I now believe that he is a fourth dimensional player now. He used to be a three-dimensional player because he was a bowler, batsman, and fielder, but now he's also a captain. So you are proud to have such a talented cricketer in the national team," More added.

The thought of quitting ODI cricket came to my mind: Virender Sehwag recalls a moment when MS Dhoni dropped him from the side

Everyone knows that Virender Sehwag has been a nightmare for the opposition bowlers whenever he is present on the crease. The Indian stalwart didn't know the meaning of defence, as he is often known for his aggressive kind of play. The 43-year-old has represented India in 104 Tests and 251 ODIs where he amassed 8586 and 8273 runs respectively. Moreover, he has 23 hundred in the longest format and 15 hundred in the One-day format along with 32 and 38 fifties to his name. In T20Is, Virender Sehwag has played 19 games for his nation and has scored 394 runs with two fifties under his belt. Coming to IPL, the right-handed batter has played 104 games and stuck 2728 runs with two hundred and 16 fifties to his name. 

Decided what to do next: Virender Sehwag 

<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/virender-sehwag-01_03_2022.jpg">Virender-SehwagOnce a time back, there was a phase come in Virender Sehwag's career as MS Dhoni dropped him for a couple of games to give chance to the youngsters. In that case, in a recent interaction with Cricbuzz's 'Match Party' show, Virender Sehwag said, "In 2008 when we were in Australia, this question (of retirement) came to my mind. I made a comeback in the Test series and scored a 150. In the ODIs, I couldn’t score that much in three-four attempts. So MS Dhoni dropped me from the playing XI then the thought of quitting ODI cricket came to my mind. I thought I will continue playing only Test cricket." 

"Sachin Tendulkar stopped me at that time. He said 'this is a bad phase of your life. Just wait, go back home after this tour, think hard and then decide what to do next'. Luckily I didn't announce my retirement at that time," said Sehwag. 

"There are two types of players - Those who like challenges, they have fun in such situations and Virat is one of those. He listens to all the criticism, reacts on the field by scoring runs to prove them wrong. The other type are the ones who are unaffected by all the noise because at the end of the day they know what they need to do. I was that kind of player. I didn't care who criticised me. I wanted to play, score runs and go home," he concluded.

A FIR is registered against MS Dhoni and 7 others in Bihar; know what is the case is all about

The former Indian skipper MS Dhoni is one of the best captains in the history of cricket. Recently, an FIR was registered against MS Dhoni including 8 other people. The FIR has been registered at the Begusarai in Bihar on a cheque bounce issue. Considering the reports from DNA, the FIR was filed by SK Enterprises, as they found their cheque was bounced. They received the cheque from 'New Global Produce India Limited' and Dhoni also gets involved. He promoted the product on several occasions along with seven other persons. However, Judicial Magistrate Ajay Kumar Mishra will be handling this case and the next hearing was scheduled for June 28, Tuesday. Considering the other reports, New Global Produce India Limited has given an INR 30 lakh cheque to SK Enterprises and also get back their fertilizers from the company. 

He is keen to learn quickly: MS Dhoni 

<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/dhoni-and-jadeja-01_05_2022.jpg">MS Dhoni and Ravindra JadejaAfter playing their last match against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2022, MS Dhoni shared a few words in the post-match presentation, saying, "I think what we need to understand is that we were playing a batter light. So when we lost those wickets, Moeen had to curb himself a bit. Role and responsibility got swapped a bit when the wickets fell. If we had lost another wicket at that point, we wouldn't have even got anything to defend." 

"I'd say 10-15 runs short although the start is always crucial. If you don't start well, even 180 may not be enough. Overall, I'd say 15 runs short. I think the important factor is that he (Mukesh Choudhary) is keen to learn quickly and after every game, he wants to improve. That's what is needed for youngsters," he added. 

"Next season, it shouldn't be like they are starting from scratch. Our Malinga (Matheesha Pathirana) is difficult to pick, and he'll only surely contribute for us next year. We have done well in patches. Important thing is to do well as a team. Crucial thing is to make the most of an opportunity if you are a bowler or a batter. It's not a one-year tournament, you keep coming back year after year. Key is to keep going as a player for the next 10-12 years," he further added.

"Bishnoi will be a big star for India in upcoming years" - Rashid Khan makes a bold statement

The newly added franchise Gujarat Titans have won the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League with their skipper Hardik Pandya.

The Afghanistan spinner has applauded Ravi Bishnoi and also stated that he talked to him on several occasions this season. He featured in all 14 games for Lucknow Super Giants and scalped 13 wickets for his team. "Bishnoi is a young talent. I’ve talked to him quite a few times.

Moreover, he also shared a few words about the Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal who has been impressed with the ball for both Royal Challengers Bangalore and for the Indian team. "Definitely, the way he performed for RCB and India, he is the best spinner. He bowled the tough overs for India and RCB, which is very difficult. He has played most of the matches in Bangalore, which is a smaller ground, and he showed his skills brilliantly," said Rashid Khan.

I can bet that he will score 110 centuries: Shoaib Akhtar on Virat Kohli

Former Pakistan pace great Shoaib
Akhtar has urged everyone to give Virat Kohli the respect he deserves and also
gives a direct message to Kohli to not be afraid. The pacer also says that
Kohli will hit 110 centuries in his career.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/kohli-31_05_2022.jpg">The former India captain has been
in pretty poor form in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) for Royal
Challengers Bangalore. He scored just 341 runs in 16 matches at an average of
22.73. His strike-rate was not good too. The 33-year-old batsman has not been
in good form in the international cricket too as he has not scored any century
since November 2019 and is stuck at 70 centuries for a long time.
So, many former cricketers and fans
are giving much suggestions to the batsman, some are criticizing also. However,
the former speedster Shoaib Akhtar gives the support to Kohli and said, <blockquote>"You
say good things about Virat Kohli. Give him respect. Why do you not give Virat
Kohli respect? As a Pakistani I am saying, he is the greatest pl\ayer of all
time. I can bet that he will score 110 centuries.”</blockquote>
He also added, "Don't get
afraid and you have to play till the age of 45. The current situation is
preparing you to hit 110 centuries. People are writing you off, they are
tweeting against you. You put out a post on Diwali, you are criticised.&nbsp; They tweet about your wife, your kid. Nothing
can be worse than this. Nature is preparing you to score 110 tons. So, keep my
words in mind and start slogging it out from today itself."
Kohli has been rested for the upcoming T20I series of India
against South Africa. However, he’ll back for the Test against England in July.

Brett Lee compares Umran Malik to legendary Pakistani Pacer Waqar Younis

Malik has been praised by many legendary players and everyone wants to see the youngster play for India.Malik's hard work for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2022 IPL paid off well for him as he received his first national call-up for the upcoming home series against South Africa. Malik consistently clocked his deliveries at over 90 mph, making it difficult for opposing batters to attempt a big throw on his delivery.Brett Lee said: "I'm a big fan. I think Umran Malik has a lot of pace to burn. He's a competitor, a top guy, breaking in like a lot of fast bowlers in the past. Waqar Younis is the person that comes to mind.” 

The Jammu-born pacesetter has been included in India's T20I squad for the upcoming series against South Africa after impressing everyone in the recently concluded Indian Premier League when he represented Sunrisers Hyderabad.Last month, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan also compared him to Waqar Younis, saying: "The first time I saw him bowl was when I was playing for Jammu and Kashmir and mentoring them. Watching him bowl reminded me of the great Waqar Younis.” 

The lightning-fast bowler had a fantastic season, winning 22 wickets in 14 games with an average of 20.18. At 157 km/h against the Delhi Capitals, he became the fastest Indian bowler in IPL history.

IPL 2022: It was one of the most memorable seasons: David Miller

Gujarat Titans batsman David Miller claimed the 2022 IPL season will go down in history as one of his most memorable in the Indian Premier League and praised the spirit of the winning team. Gujarat made history when they won the coveted title in their first season, thanks in large part to Miller's contributions.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/david-miller-30_05_2022.jpg">Gujarat Titans batsman <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/167/david-miller">David Miller</a> said the 2022 IPL season had been one of his most memorable stints in the Indian Premier League and addressed morale in the winning camp. Miller played a key role in helping Gujarat's screenwriting story as they won the coveted crown in their first season. 

David Miller hit 481 runs in 16 games with a staggering batting average of 142.73 for the <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/team/123216/gujarat-titans">Gujarat Titans</a>. Miller has surpassed 350 runs in three consecutive seasons from 2013-2015, but he only managed to surpass the 200-run mark once in the next 6 years.Miller was bought by Gujarat Titans for Rs 3 crore but few expected the South African star to be one of the team's most valuable players. Miller thrived in his role as Gujarat's finisher, averaging nearly 70 runs per game."It was one of my most memorable seasons just in terms of the team. As I've said so many times, the team made so many contributions throughout the competition. 


 
“Obviously we're the underdogs throughout the competition and it's really nice to lift the trophy. Very, very memorable for me," Miller told Rashid Khan, speaking to the IPL website. 

Miller excelled against spin, and the left-hander lashed out at the Rajasthan Royals' spinners in Qualifier 1 and Sunday's final at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. 

In IPL 2022, Miller averaged 206 runs against spin and averaged over 100 against spinners. The South African batsman said he's tried hard to counter the spin in recent years and is happy it's paid off."I started working hard. I failed so many times, it's difficult to beat in the middle order, with the run rate and the fact that every situation is very different, and give me the best chance and keep calm. 

“But what I really enjoyed this season was playing spin. I've been working very hard against spin for the past 3-4 years. I never really thought I had a problem but I changed 1 or 2 things and it worked. Very pleased," Miller added. 

Miller went 32 of just 19 balls unbeaten on Sunday as Gujarat chased a paltry 131 goal in just 18.1 overs to beat Rajasthan and lift the 2022 IPL trophy.&nbsp;
