The brilliance of captain Rohit Sharma has not been able to find a victory for the MI team in the IPL 2022. With no wins in three league matches and a bad net run rate, they are at the second-last position in the points table and it will take a lot of effort from them to come back to winning ways. They featured in two matches in week two of this edition.

In the first fixture, they locked horns with RR, who smashed them to score 193 runs on the board. The likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Tymal Mills scalped three wickets each for the team. In the batting department, the half-centuries from Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma could not seal the game for them, as other batters failed to contribute in a fine manner.

In the second league match, they faced KKR and had a strong finish to their innings by posting 161 on the board with Suryakumar Yadav scoring a fifty. Although they kept it tight and kept picking wickets before <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/pat-cummins-was-getting-bowled-every-now-and-then-in-nets-before-mi-clash-shreyas-iyer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pat Cummins</strong> </a>blew them with his 56 off 15 and MI lost their third league game of this season

The Ravindra Jadeja-led franchise has not been up to the mark with their performances in the tournament. They have lost all their three league matches, which has happened for the first time in history. In week two, they featured in a single fixture against PBKS.

The bowlers were quite average to pave a way for the opposition to post a menacing total of 180 on the board. Among the bowlers, Chris Jordan and Dwaine Pretorius picked up two wickets each while the likes of Mukesh Choudhary and Dwayne Bravo proved to be costly for the team.

In response, the CSK team lost five wickets under eight overs, which put all the pressure on Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni. Although the duo stitched a partnership of 62 runs, it was not enough for the team to avoid a loss in the game.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad team is at the eighth position on this ranking due to their better performances, as compared to the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-3-players-to-avoid-in-fantasy-teams-for-csk-vs-srh-game/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>CSK</strong> </a>and MI team. In week two, they featured in a single fixture against LSG, and did put up a fight, but could not translate to a win.

The LSG team posted a score of 169 runs, with Washington Sundar, Romario Shepherd, and Natarajan picking up two wickets each, while Bhuvneshwar returned with an economical figure and Umran Malik leaked runs at an economy of 13.

In the batting department, Rahul Tripathi and Nicholas Pooran played well with the contribution of 44 and 34 respectively, but others could not do their bit to help the team in crossing the line.

One of the finest sides in the last three editions of the tournament has not started on a good note in the initial two weeks of the tournament. After a terrific win in their first league match against MI in week one, they lost both their fixtures in week two.

In the first game, they gave away 171 runs against<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/pbks-vs-gt-debutant-sai-sudharsan-keeps-players-waiting-on-ground-amid-toilet-break/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> GT</strong></a>, with Mustafizur Rahman and Khaleel Ahmed as the successful bowlers. But in response, the team could not chase down the total and fell short by 14 runs. The biggest contributor to the team was Rishabh Pant with 43 runs.

In the second league match against LSG, the DC team could post a total of only 149 runs on the board, with Prithvi Shaw hitting 61 off 34 balls. But, the bowlers could not fare well and the opposition chased down the score in the last over.

One of the best bowling sides in the IPL 2022 featured in two fixtures in the previous week. At present, they are in the fourth position in the points table with two wins in three league matches and have more positives than negatives to take home.

In the first fixture, they scored a big total of 193 runs on the board, on the back of a century from Jos Buttler where Navdeep Saini and Yuzvendra Chahal took two wickets each to help the team in defending down the score.

In the second fixture of the previous week, they lost to the RCB team by failing to protect their total of 169 runs, which was just above par on the venue. In the batting department, Buttler again delivered with 70, while Hetmyer and Padikkal contributed around 40 runs each while <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/was-tied-gagged-and-forgotten-the-whole-night-yuzvendra-chahals-old-podcast-resurfaces-after-drunk-cricketer-claim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Yuzvendra Chahal</strong> </a>and Trent Boult could only prove to be effective with the ball for the team.

The Royal Challengers are at 5th position in this ranking as well as on the IPL 2022 points table. They featured in a single fixture in the previous week of the tournament and were impressive in their performances.

In a fixture against RR, they were average with their bowling performances to give away 169 runs. The wicket-takers for the team were David Willey, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Harshal Patel. While Mohammed Siraj and Akashdeep went wicket-less.

In the chase, the team got off a stable start with around 50 runs partnership in the power-play overs. But as the fielding restrictions eased, the top four batters, Faf du Plessis, Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, and David Willey fell in quick succession. But the innings from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/surely-hes-in-the-mix-ravi-shastri-explains-why-dinesh-karthik-can-find-a-place-in-indias-t20-wc-squad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dinesh Karthik</strong> </a>and Shahbaz Ahmed helped the team to win the match easily.

This week, they featured in two fixtures and displayed a terrific batting performance, but their bowlers were inconsistent with their efforts.

In the first fixture of the previous week against CSK, PBKS posted a total of 180 runs on the board, with Livingstone, who hit 60 off 32 balls and also took two wickets. While Vaibhav Arora and Rahul Chahar were the other key performers with the ball.

In the second league match against GT, they posted a total of 189, with Livingstone again emerging as the top-scorer with 64 off 27 balls. But, the bowlers could not keep the opposition under control and failed to defend the total.

The team with the presence of experienced international players with proven performances in the T20 format has started their 2022 season with three wins in three league matches. In week two of the tournament, they featured in two matches.

In their first league fixture against DC, they posted a total of 171, with the top contribution of 84 from Shubman Gill. Later, Ferguson picked up four wickets, and Shami returned with two dismissals to set up a 14-run victory for the team.

In the second league game against PBKS, the team was average with their bowling performance giving away 190 runs on the board. Then the batting unit led by Gill&#8217;s 96, and heroics from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/pbks-vs-gt-rahul-tewatia-smashes-2-sixes-off-last-2-balls-to-seal-thrilling-victory-for-gujarat-titans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rahul Tweatia</strong></a> helped them to chase down the total on the last ball of the match.

After the completion of two weeks, the KKR team emerged as the best team in the tournament and beat the likes of GT and LSG in terms of net run rate. After a disappointing loss against RCB, they learned fine lessons and have had two wins on the trot.

In week Two, they faced the Mumbai Indians team. Although their bowling performances were fine until 15 overs, somehow they leaked runs in the death overs, which helped the opposition to post a total of 161 runs on the board. The likes of Pat Cummins, Umesh Yadav, and Varun Chakravarthy were the wicket-takers for the team.

In response, KKR got off to a shaky start, but Venkatesh Iyer&#8217;s innings helped them to gain stable ground. Just when things were looking bleak after the wicket of Russell in the 14th over, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/seen-dre-russ-do-that-but-pat-its-unbelievable-coach-brendon-mccullum-praises-pat-cummins-after-record-knock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pat Cummins</strong></a> came to the crease and smashed 56 off 15 to help the team in securing their third victory of this season.

After a loss in their first league match against GT, the LSG team has made a terrific comeback in the tournament by winning their last three league matches. They displayed the proficiency to win the matches by batting first or chasing down the totals.

In the first fixture of week Two, they faced SRH and posted a total of 169 runs on the board, with the half-centuries from KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda. The likes of Avesh Khan, Jason Holder, and Krunal Pandya were terrific with their efforts to contain the opposition and help the team to win by 12 runs.

In the second league match of the previous week, LSG restricted the Delhi Capitals (DC) to 149, with Ravi Bishoi and Gowtham being the successful bowlers. In the second innings, the wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock scored 80 off 52, and the cool finish from Pandya and Badoni sealed the game for the team.

<p>After the completion of two weeks, the KKR team emerged as the best team in the tournament and beat the likes of GT and LSG in terms of net run rate. After a disappointing loss against RCB, they learned fine lessons and have had two wins on the trot.</p>
<p>In week Two, they faced the Mumbai Indians team. Although their bowling performances were fine until 15 overs, somehow they leaked runs in the death overs, which helped the opposition to post a total of 161 runs on the board. The likes of Pat Cummins, Umesh Yadav, and Varun Chakravarthy were the wicket-takers for the team.</p>
<p>In response, KKR got off to a shaky start, but Venkatesh Iyer’s innings helped them to gain stable ground. Just when things were looking bleak after the wicket of Russell in the 14th over, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/seen-dre-russ-do-that-but-pat-its-unbelievable-coach-brendon-mccullum-praises-pat-cummins-after-record-knock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pat Cummins</strong></a> came to the crease and smashed 56 off 15 to help the team in securing their third victory of this season.</p>

<p>After a loss in their first league match against GT, the LSG team has made a terrific comeback in the tournament by winning their last three league matches. They displayed the proficiency to win the matches by batting first or chasing down the totals.</p>
<p>In the first fixture of week Two, they faced SRH and posted a total of 169 runs on the board, with the half-centuries from KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda. The likes of Avesh Khan, Jason Holder, and Krunal Pandya were terrific with their efforts to contain the opposition and help the team to win by 12 runs.</p>
<p>In the second league match of the previous week, LSG restricted the Delhi Capitals (DC) to 149, with Ravi Bishoi and Gowtham being the successful bowlers. In the second innings, the wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock scored 80 off 52, and the cool finish from Pandya and Badoni sealed the game for the team.</p>

<p>The Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants finished at first and third position respectively with three wins in four fixtures. The teams of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Mumbai Indians (MI), and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are yet to open their account in the tournament and are languishing at the bottom of the points table.</p>

<h3>10. Mumbai Indians- 5/10</h3>
<figure id="attachment_624089" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-624089" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-624089" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Mumbai-Indians-2.jpg" alt="Mumbai Indians" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-624089" class="wp-caption-text">Mumbai Indians (Photo Source: rohitsharma45/Instagram)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The brilliance of captain Rohit Sharma has not been able to find a victory for the MI team in the IPL 2022. With no wins in three league matches and a bad net run rate, they are at the second-last position in the points table and it will take a lot of effort from them to come back to winning ways. They featured in two matches in week two of this edition.</p>
<p>In the first fixture, they locked horns with RR, who smashed them to score 193 runs on the board. The likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Tymal Mills scalped three wickets each for the team. In the batting department, the half-centuries from Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma could not seal the game for them, as other batters failed to contribute in a fine manner.</p>
<p>In the second league match, they faced KKR and had a strong finish to their innings by posting 161 on the board with Suryakumar Yadav scoring a fifty. Although they kept it tight and kept picking wickets before <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/pat-cummins-was-getting-bowled-every-now-and-then-in-nets-before-mi-clash-shreyas-iyer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pat Cummins</strong> </a>blew them with his 56 off 15 and MI lost their third league game of this season</p>

<p>The Ravindra Jadeja-led franchise has not been up to the mark with their performances in the tournament. They have lost all their three league matches, which has happened for the first time in history. In week two, they featured in a single fixture against PBKS.</p>
<p>The bowlers were quite average to pave a way for the opposition to post a menacing total of 180 on the board. Among the bowlers, Chris Jordan and Dwaine Pretorius picked up two wickets each while the likes of Mukesh Choudhary and Dwayne Bravo proved to be costly for the team.</p>
<p>In response, the CSK team lost five wickets under eight overs, which put all the pressure on Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni. Although the duo stitched a partnership of 62 runs, it was not enough for the team to avoid a loss in the game.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>8. Sunrisers Hyderabad- 6/10</h3>
<figure id="attachment_623060" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-623060" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-623060" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Sunrisers-Hyderabad-1.jpg" alt="Sunrisers Hyderabad" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-623060" class="wp-caption-text">Sunrisers Hyderabad. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The Sunrisers Hyderabad team is at the eighth position on this ranking due to their better performances, as compared to the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-3-players-to-avoid-in-fantasy-teams-for-csk-vs-srh-game/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>CSK</strong> </a>and MI team. In week two, they featured in a single fixture against LSG, and did put up a fight, but could not translate to a win.</p>
<p>The LSG team posted a score of 169 runs, with Washington Sundar, Romario Shepherd, and Natarajan picking up two wickets each, while Bhuvneshwar returned with an economical figure and Umran Malik leaked runs at an economy of 13.</p>
<p>In the batting department, Rahul Tripathi and Nicholas Pooran played well with the contribution of 44 and 34 respectively, but others could not do their bit to help the team in crossing the line.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>7. Delhi Capitals- 6.5/10</h3>

<p>One of the finest sides in the last three editions of the tournament has not started on a good note in the initial two weeks of the tournament. After a terrific win in their first league match against MI in week one, they lost both their fixtures in week two.</p>
<p>In the first game, they gave away 171 runs against<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/pbks-vs-gt-debutant-sai-sudharsan-keeps-players-waiting-on-ground-amid-toilet-break/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> GT</strong></a>, with Mustafizur Rahman and Khaleel Ahmed as the successful bowlers. But in response, the team could not chase down the total and fell short by 14 runs. The biggest contributor to the team was Rishabh Pant with 43 runs.</p>
<p>In the second league match against LSG, the DC team could post a total of only 149 runs on the board, with Prithvi Shaw hitting 61 off 34 balls. But, the bowlers could not fare well and the opposition chased down the score in the last over.</p>

<p>One of the best bowling sides in the IPL 2022 featured in two fixtures in the previous week. At present, they are in the fourth position in the points table with two wins in three league matches and have more positives than negatives to take home.</p>
<p>In the first fixture, they scored a big total of 193 runs on the board, on the back of a century from Jos Buttler where Navdeep Saini and Yuzvendra Chahal took two wickets each to help the team in defending down the score.</p>
<p>In the second fixture of the previous week, they lost to the RCB team by failing to protect their total of 169 runs, which was just above par on the venue. In the batting department, Buttler again delivered with 70, while Hetmyer and Padikkal contributed around 40 runs each while <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/was-tied-gagged-and-forgotten-the-whole-night-yuzvendra-chahals-old-podcast-resurfaces-after-drunk-cricketer-claim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Yuzvendra Chahal</strong> </a>and Trent Boult could only prove to be effective with the ball for the team.</p>

<p>The Royal Challengers are at 5th position in this ranking as well as on the IPL 2022 points table. They featured in a single fixture in the previous week of the tournament and were impressive in their performances.</p>
<p>In a fixture against RR, they were average with their bowling performances to give away 169 runs. The wicket-takers for the team were David Willey, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Harshal Patel. While Mohammed Siraj and Akashdeep went wicket-less.</p>
<p>In the chase, the team got off a stable start with around 50 runs partnership in the power-play overs. But as the fielding restrictions eased, the top four batters, Faf du Plessis, Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, and David Willey fell in quick succession. But the innings from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/surely-hes-in-the-mix-ravi-shastri-explains-why-dinesh-karthik-can-find-a-place-in-indias-t20-wc-squad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dinesh Karthik</strong> </a>and Shahbaz Ahmed helped the team to win the match easily.</p>
