Maruti Suzuki ASKcricinfo stat: What's David Warner's strike rate against Trent Boult (all T20s)?

Vikas: "Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Dinesh Karthik, KL Rahul... India has a long list of wicket keeper batsman now. And to think India had to ask Rahul Dravid to keep wickets so they can play extra batsman just 20 years back." -- That's the Dhoni effect for you. Inspired most of them, except DK, who started before MS!

9.23pm 222 for 2 on 22/4/22. What a show that was. 29 runs in their first 30 balls. And 193 runs off the next 90. Devdutt Padikkal, who made a scintillating half-century, says that 190 is about par for these conditions. Buttler, with his 65-ball 116, has claimed his stake on the orange cap even more. Samson's 19-ball 46 just the cherry on top. Capitals' bowling post-mortem will happen after the chase ends. 223 is definitely gettable at the Wankhede, but for that you need atleast one century partnership stand, no? Peter Della Penna will bring you the chase with Royals hunting for the two points that will take them to the top of the points table.

Parvesh Chopra: "Did anyone notice. 21 fours for 84 and 14 sixes for 84. Total 168 in boundaries. Wow!"

Thakur to Samson, SIX, Richie Benaud would be proud! 222 for 2! Full toss on his pads on leg stump. Samson nonchalantly flicks it behind square. And it flies over deep backward square leg! Highest total of IPL 2022 and the Wankhede is buzzzzzzing!

Thakur to Samson, FOUR, just one away from the season's highest team total! Bit of luck for Samson as Thakur induces an under-edge off the cut, but the ball flies through the grass to Kuldeep at short third man, and he fails to stop it with the dive. Bowler was not happy with the fielder!

Thakur to Hetmyer, 1 run, full toss, almost waist-high on middle stump. Smacked across the line to the sweeper fielder on the leg side

Deepankar DM: "Buttler's season so far has been quite like VK2016. (Well, if it's possible, it's actually been better at the halfway stage). He already has three hundreds and almost 500 runs halfway into the league stage. Phenomenal. Monumental. Credit to his partners as well , look at the number and proportion of balls he has faced in the games this season!!"

Thakur to Samson, 1 run, full just outside off. Drags a slog to deep midwicket

Abd: "@Nishant - Warner went up to Khaleel to console him"

Thakur to Samson, 1 wide, full outside off stump and angling away. But wide given! Tantalisingly close to the tramline
19.2

Thakur to Samson, FOUR, overpitched, fourth-stump line. Samson does not move, simply swings his arms, and muscles a shot straight past the non-striker for four to long off. Thakur was so close to the yorker, missed it by an inch or two

Nishant: "While Khaleel dropped a very simple catch, it was very disappointing to see none of DC players including captain Pant run up to Khaleel and console him. Only the previous over he got you the wicket of DDP. "

Thakur to Samson, 2 runs, full and wide outside off. Samson launches a lofted shot over cover but it's not got 100% connection. Up in the air but lands safely before the outfielder to get to it. Flat throw from the deep, and Thakur breaks the stumps, but Hetmyer - the non-striker - was in
19.1
1w
Thakur to Samson, 1 wide, full and wide from around the stumps. Slower ball too, Samson reaches out to play at it. Misses, and wide given

Shardul for his third over. There will be some questions surrounding Rishabh Pant's captaincy plans today though. Economy of 4.5, and he wont bowl out.

Mustafizur Rahman to Buttler, OUT, holes out to long on and an exhilarating innings comes to an end. A pat on the back from Samson as he walks back. Fizz went for the yorker. Buttler tried to hit it, and therefore ended up meeting it at a very low full toss height. Gets some connection, but doesn't have the distance. Warner at long on takes a simple one

JC Buttler c Warner b Mustafizur Rahman 116 (103m 65b 9x4 9x6) SR: 178.46

Fizz runs in but doesn't deliver the ball. A few boos around the ground, quite unnecessary from the crowd. He will reload.

Mustafizur Rahman to Buttler, 2 runs, hammered straight down the ground. Warner and Powell at long on and long off get together to stop the ball, and it's Powell who gets there first. Stuck his foot out, went down, and then collected it quickly to get the throw in. But the TV umpire is seeing if it's a clean collection from Powell.

Thakur 2-1-9-0 will not be able to bowl out

Mustafizur Rahman to Samson, 1 run, rolls his fingers over the ball. Full on off, and he drags a slog to deep midwicket. Team 200

Mustafizur Rahman to Buttler, SIX, long off to take the catch? Oh hell no! Fizz bowls an overpitched delivery outside off. Nearly a yorker. But Buttler swats it with a quick swing of the bat, and it's flown over the stretched hands of Powell at long off for six more

Mustafizur Rahman to Buttler, FOUR, low full toss around leg stump. Buttler shuffles across to the off side and sweeps the fast bowler behind square for four!

Fizz.

Ahmed to Samson, no run, omg! Khaleel drops a sitter. Tests Samson with the short ball, forces the error as he top-edges the shot. Khaleel runs forward to take the simple catch, but it pops out of his hand!

Ahmed to Samson, SIX, ridiculous! Full and wide. Samson tries to slap this through backward point. But it's flown off the bat, and it's a flat six over the boundary behind square! #Slashed

Ahmed to Samson, FOUR, elegance! Full outside off. Samson just throws his bat at it, and meets it so well. Lofted drive, flourish of the bat in his swing, and it very nearly goes for six at wide long off

1w
Ahmed to Samson, 1 wide, full and wide outside off. Samson tries chasing at it to try and play another ramp. But the ball is too wide outside the tram-lines for the umpire to even consider Samson's movements. Wide given

Aagam: "From Universe Boss to Jos the Boss, we all grew up."

Ahmed to Samson, SIX, going, going, gone! Nearly a waist-high full toss just outside off but Samson showed how much power he has by lifting it over Khaleel's head and sending it over wide long on!

Ahmed to Samson, FOUR, full and wide outside off. Stays on the back foot, and hammers a crunched shot through the covers! Long off runs to his left, but that's absolutely futile

Ahmed to Samson, no run, goes nowhere. Full on middle. Samson tries to play a cheeky ramp, but he ends up hitting the ball onto his helmet grille

Khaleel.
