The KL Rahul -led Lucknow Super Giants' Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign ended on Wednesday as his team lost the Eliminator to Royal Challengers Bangalore.

He fell in the 19th over and then his team fell short by 14 runs. Sanjay Manjrekar , former Indian cricket team player, was not impressed about the speed with which batter scored.

"KL Rahul's innings is something that we've seen before when he was captaining Punjab Kings, for example, [and they] would fall short of a run-chase," Manjrekar told Cricinfo . "The scenario would be the same. You'll have KL Rahul batting right till the very end, they would have lost three or four wickets and … [Read more...] about IPL 2022 – Needs To Bat “Quicker Rather Than Longer”: Sanjay Manjrekar On KL Rahul’s Knock vs RCB In Eliminator | Cricket News

BAN vs SL, 2nd Test, Day 4 Report: Bangladesh Top Order Stumbles After Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal Hit Centuries | Cricket News
Sri Lankan seamers cut through the Bangladesh top order in the second innings after centuries from Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal gave the visitors a commanding lead in the second Test in Dhaka on Thursday. Bangladesh were a dangerous 34-4 at stumps on the fourth day and still need another 107 runs to ward off an innings defeat.

More than fitness, Bangladesh need to look at mental side of the game – Shakib
SRI LANKA TOUR OF BANGLADESH, 2022 by Atif Azam • Last updated on Share Tweet ''I think there is Mushfiq bhai and Liton in the middle and if they can bat like they did in the first innings we have a chance," Shakib © AFP Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is still hopeful of Bangladesh finding a way to steer themselves to safer waters in the second Test against Sri Lanka. The hosts found themselves in a precarious position at 34/4, still trailing by 107 at stumps on Day 4. Bangladesh's hopes of posting a draw now rest on the shoulders of first innings centurions - Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim. Shakib himself is slated to bat next at No.7.

Bangladesh stutter after SL take big lead
BAN V SL, 2022 by Cricbuzz Staff • Published on Share Tweet Sri Lanka reduced Bangladesh to 34 for 4 © AFP Bangladesh find themselves staring down the barrel on a day dominated by the Lankans through and through at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. A couple of wicketless sessions and then another top-order collapse with the bat has now meant that the onus has fallen back on Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das to bat out of their skins to save this Test, and thereby the series. The start of the third session brought some respite for the hosts with Dinesh Chandimal smashing a pretty full Ebadot Hossain delivery straight to extra cover, to end a 199-run stand with Angelo Mathews. The tail didn't wag long either, with the last four wickets falling for a mere 24 runs, leaving Mathews stranded at the other end. Nevertheless, the damage was done, with a massive 141-run lead in their kitty. Shakib Al Hasan was the only … [Read more...] about Bangladesh stutter after SL take big lead

Galloping RCB train eyes on summit clash
RR VS RCB by Bharath Ramaraj • Last updated on Share Tweet Can RCB fly into the final of IPL 2022? © BCCI When Rajat Patidar walked out to bat with a confident gait against Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bangalore had just lost Faf du Plessis to Mohsin Khan's brilliance.

Who is Rajat Patidar? Know all about RCB’s century-maker in the IPL 2022 Eliminator against LSG
A maiden IPL hundred was a just reward for his clean, non-muddled hitting for RCB on Wednesday night (May 25). His innings ensured that RCB reach a very challenging total against LSG and in a prime position to reach Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals. Fortune also favoured Patidar on this night as Deepak Hooda dropped him when he was 82 off Ravi Bishnoi and to make it worse, the ball rolled over the ropes for a four. Patidar meted out severe punishment for the young Bishnoi, whose leg-spin was dispatched for 3 sixes and 2 fours to rack in 26 runs in 5 overs as RCB recovered from a sluggish middle-over phase to race to a big total. So, who is Rajat Patidar? For beginners, he is a 28-year-old middle-order batsman from Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
