Veteran Indian quick Bhuvneshwar achieved this milestone while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad during the IPL 2022 match against Punjab Kings here at Dr DY Patil Stadium.
Punjab will be without their skipper Mayank Agarwal, who has injured his toe while training on Saturday. Prabhsimran Singh replaced him in the playing eleven.
Kathik, who has been playing the role of a finisher for RCB, has had the highest strike rate among the leading run-getters in the tournament scoring 197 runs in six innings at 209.57.
KKR vs RR: KKR were beaten by Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad by 44 runs and seven wickets respectively in their last two matches. They had earlier lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Dinesh Karthik smashed an unbeaten 66 while all-rounder Glenn Maxwell played a sublime knock of 55 to guide Royal Challengers Bangalore to a defendable target of 189/5.
It was Gujarat’s fourth win of the IPL 2022 season and they climbed to the top of the points table with eight points.
This is not the first time that MI have had a losing streak of five matches but this is probably the first time that it seems that the team’s think-tank do not have an idea of how to stem the rot that has set in.
The 31-year-old from Gujarat, who had taken 32 wickets in the 2021 edition, has emerged as one of the best T20 bowlers with his variations, which include off-cutters and slower ones, bowled with variable arm speed.
The MI captain has failed to capitalise on the starts, managing just 108 runs at an average of 21.60 this season.
The Chennai Super Kings all-rounder paved the way for his team’s first win of the season with an unbeaten 95 against RCB on Tuesday night.
The all-rounder further added, “The team is moving in the right direction and our Head Coach Ricky Ponting has always told us to play our natural game no matter what the situation is. He backs us so we always try to give our best.”
Samson conceded that RR were trying out different strategies in the current edition of the IPL.
While Bangladesh’s Mustafizur Rahman returned an economical spell, Khaleel Ahmed devastated the KKR top order with his 3/25 in four overs as DC notched their second win in four games.
CSK now has to win at least eight out of their remaining 10 games in order to reach the magic figure of 16 points which during past few years is the cut-off for play-off qualifications.
The Punjab side made a brilliant comeback at the death and they were on the verge of a victory only to be denied by Tewatia in a dramatic fashion.
Liam Livingstone was the player who gained the most fantasy points during the previous game. Captain Mayank Agarwal will take the helm of the Punjab Kings in the next season.
Mumbai, the five-time IPL champions, have endured a disastrous start to the tournament, losing all three matches and are placed ninth on the points table with a net run rate (NRR) of -1.362.
Badoni finished the last-over thriller against Delhi Capitals with a six as Lucknow Super Giants clinched another win in the IPL.
Opener Prithvi Shaw blasted a 34-ball 61 and helped his team dominate the powerplay overs but Delhi Capitals lost their way after he was out, and despite fine rearguard efforts by skipper Rishabh Pant.
Five-time champions MI has endured a disappointing start to the season, losing their first three matches against Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders.
Senior MI pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been let off with a reprimand for breaching the code of conduct during the same game, which KKR won by five wickets here on Wednesday.
Cummins walked out to bat when KKR were on 101 for 5 in 13.1 overs, still needing 61 off 41 balls.
Besides that, the Delhi Capitals would lose the actual final in 2020 to the Mumbai Indians. Before that and during their 2019 campaign, the team finished third in the regular season only to suffer the same disappointing fate in the play-offs.
The news comes as a big boost for Delhi, who are seeking to bounce back from the 14-run loss to Gujarat Titans at Pune on Saturday.
