The top-order batter was simply sensational in the IPL 2022 scoring 483 runs in 16 matches at an average of 34.5 and a strike rate of 132.3. Nine of his 13 wickets came in the slog overs (overs 17-20), the most by any bowler. This came after the Englishman excelled for his country in the T20 World Cup, where he led England to victory and was named player of the tournament. And he’s achieved all of that at a strike rate of 99 which happens to be the highest rate by any batter in the men’s format to have faced a minimum of 200 balls. In the latest edition of SA20, Salt was a pivotal piece in his team – the Pretoria Capitals – going all the way to the finals. Overall, he has scored 1900 runs in 74 games in the tournament at a decent average of 32.2. Salt’s strike rate of 153 in the tournament was the second-best among all batters (min.

They’ll be ably supported by Shimron Hetmyer, who was one of only two batters to score more than 200 runs at the death (overs 17-20) in the IPL last season. Any IPL side is only as good as its Indian core and the Royals are sorted with the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Devdutt Padikkal in the ranks. No one took more wickets in the powerplay in IPL 2022 than Shami (11) while Rashid has taken at least 17 wickets in every IPL season so far and has never conceded an economy rate higher than 6.74 in a single campaign.

For now, it is safe to assume that Bumrah will play no role this season. When captains choose to go for an Impact Player, the umpires are to make a cross signal with both hands over their heads.

However, the fall of wickets did not make Gaikwad change his game as he kept getting the boundaries. Gaikwad pulled IPL debutant Joshua Little on his very first ball to set the tone of his innings.

As the IPL strides other cricket adapts, rationalises or dies. How does Australia reckon with this rapidly changing landscape?

The men’s Test team is probably the best in the world and the women’s team are unstoppable everywhere. Because while it might be tough to watch the Kolkata Knight Riders this Saturday night, the LA Knight Riders will play at 11am AEST in the US this July. And for the IPL advocates, there’s a workaround for that problem of Australia’s sleepy timezone. Though unconfirmed, a two-tier competition looms in South Australian premier cricket, where players are said to have known they were playing for a spot in the top-tier competition, and teams flew in players from around the country in the final stretch to preserve their place. But many officials say that no one really understands the aims of IPL franchises. We’re not out of March, and the IPL is the ninth global T20 tournament to be staged in 2023, following the BBL, Super Smash, BPL, SA20, ILT20, Women’s T20 World Cup, PSL, and WPL. As the IPL strides, lots of other cricket adapts, or rationalises, or dies, depending on your appetite for euphemism. It would be equivalent to the Ashes starting in October here. Still on England, many Australians may not have noticed that it now reserves its peak professional cricket season for its franchise product, The Hundred. But that kind of content squeeze won’t happen in April and May. The TV and the papers might show us an Australian doing something. The world’s richest cricket tournament starts on Friday.

The opening batter has been performing exceptionally over the past few years and has scored over 400 runs in each edition of the IPL since 2016. One player who will be sorely missed is Englishman Jonny Bairstow, who failed to recover from an injury and will play no part in this season. He was bought for a whopping INR 18.5 crore by the franchise, making him the most expensive player in the history of the IPL. Over the years, there have been several teams which have had immense talent in their squad but have failed to deliver on the field and hence a title victory has eluded them. Curran was their marquee pick-up in the auction after he was awarded player of the tournament in the T20 World Cup 2022. The PBKS hierarchy has been trigger-happy and prone to multiple changes from game to game, which hasn’t helped the team’s consistency.

Day two of IPL 2023 is a double-header, with Punjab Kings hosting Kolkata Knight Riders in the first game at IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.

For Kolkata Knight Riders, we could see a new opening pair in Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz and N Jagadeesan whereas Venkatesh Iyer could take up the number three spot.
