IPL 2022 | Buttler’s ton powers RR to 23-run win over MI
Jos Buttler smashed the first century of IPL 2022 to power Rajasthan Royals to 23-run win over five-time champions Mumbai Indians, who slumped to their second consecutive defeat, here on Saturday.

Besides Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer (35 off 14) looked in destructive form while skipper Sanju Samson (30 off 21) too got a start. Jasprit Bumrah (3/17) was the pick of the bowlers for MI.
Chasing the total, Tilak Verma smashed 61 off 33 balls, while opener Ishan Kishan made 54 off 43 balls but it was not enough to guide MI home as they finished at 170 for eight.
Yuzvendra Chahal once again shone bright with the ball picking up two wickets for 26 runs from his four overs.

IPL 2022 | Shubman Gill, Ferguson star in Gujarat Titans’ win
Shubman Gill’s sublime knock set it up with thae willow and Lockie Ferguson built on it with the ball as Gujarat Titans broke Delhi Capitals’ resistance in style in the Indian Premier League at the Maharashtra Cricket Association’s International Stadium on Saturday.
Riding on Gill’s 84 (46b, 6×4, 4×6), Titans, one of the two IPL entrants, recovered from a mini-stutter to put on 171 for six after being made to bat first. Ferguson’s (4/20) raw pace and precision with short-pitched bowling meant that despite a shorter boundary on one side, the Capitals fell short by 14 runs.
Ferguson’s double-wicket burst in the Powerplay meant the onus was on captain Rishabh Pant and Lalit Yadav. With Varun Aaron having left the field after bowling just one over, the duo was trying its best to stretch the game deep. However, Lalit was run out after being sent back by Pant in the 12th over.
Ferguson was then brought back on and he repeated the double-wicket act, accounting for Pant and Axar Patel in the 15th over with short balls.
Captain Hardik Pandya then saved the last remaining over by the fifth bowler for the last and the move worked as Rashid Khan got rid of Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Shami trapped Rovman Powell, the designated finisher to seal the deal for the Titans.
