Description: Their 5-match winning run may have ended but Kings XI Punjab can still qualify for the playoffs but standing in their way is a high on confidence Chennai Super Kings.

WHAT-A-GAME, with so many momentum shifts throughout the last 20 overs, Lucknow Super Giants sealed the game by the narrowest margin, 2 runs, as they booked a place in playoffs by registering a win over Kolkata Knight Riders at DY Patil Stadium on Wednesday night.
Kolkata's majestic run-chase was a classic example of a T20 contest given they lost both the openers early. But Shreyas Iyer stitched a counter-attacking 50-run stand with Nitish Rana first. Then another fifty-run stand with Sam Billings in 24 balls kept Kolkata the mammoth chase on track. Kolkata lost momentum in the death overs. However, Rinku Singh and Sunil Narine kept KKR in the hunt with some big blows. With 21 needed off the last over, Rinku tonked a four, and two back-to-back sixes off the first three balls before a one-handed stunner from Evin Lewis ended the southpaw innings. Stoinis cleaned up Umesh Yadav off the last delivery thus winning the game for Lucknow.

The director of cricket at the National Cricket Academy, VVS Laxman, is likely to be India's head coach for the two-match T20I series against Ireland in June, according to media reports.
Laxman will be filling in Rahul Dravid given the latter would be with India's Test squad for the rescheduled fifth Test from last year and the limited-over series against England.
India's selection committee is likely to announce a separate squad for the South Africa home series and Ireland T20Is on May 22.
Meanwhile, the Indian Test squad is likely to leave for England on June 15.

"T20 is good for the game but not for ego", the former Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds had once said after failing to defend 17 runs inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League against Shane Warne.
The demise of Symonds shocked the cricketing world which was still mourning the death of legendary Shane Warne.
Here are some of Symonds' best moments while playing the game he loved the most.
2003 World Cup vs Pakistan
Andrew Symonds filled in the boots of Michael Bevan and took Australia out of shambles in their 2003 World Cup opener against Pakistan. From 146-5 in 30th over, Australia went to score 310-8, all because of Symonds' 143 not out off 125 balls.
Sydney Test: 2008 vs India
Though the match was first marred by Umpiring controversy, Symonds displayed his tremendous temperament and scored 162 not out against India in the Sydney Test. This time, Symonds took Australia out from 134-6 in the first innings and scalped two crucial wickets in the second innings. But his prolific innings was marred by the monkey gate scandal as Symonds alleged Harbhajan Singh for using a racial slur against him.
117 no vs RR in 2008 ipl
Two months after the monkey gate scandal, Andrew Symonds emerged as the most expensive foreign buy in the inaugural edition of IPL. While representing now-defunct Deccan Charges, Symonds steamrolled the Warne's Rajasthan Royals' bowlers and slammed 116 off 53 balls. But he failed to take his team home as he was not able to defend 17 runs in the last over against Warne who tonked his Australian counterpart for a Four and two sixes.

The defending champions Chennai super kings failed to make the playoffs of the 2022 season of IPL after losing their game to Mumbai Indians.
This is only the second time in IPL history that Chennai failed to qualify.
Here are the three reasons why Chennai failed to qualify for the playoffs
The leadership conundrum
MS Dhoni dropped a bombshell just one day ahead of IPL 2022 kick-off that he has handed over the CSK captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja. The team under Jadeja's leadership & failed to perform up to their mark. A few matches later, Jadeja handed back the captaincy duties to Dhoni.
Lack of wicket-takers in the powerplay
Chennai's costliest buy Deepak Chahar pulled his hamstring ahead of IPL 2022. To start with, he was ruled out for the first half of the tournament. During the rehab, he injured his back which ruled him out of the tournament. In absence of Chahar, Chennai failed to find a replacement for Chahar who could pick wickets in the powerplay. Mukesh Choudhary and Simarjeet Singh rose to the occasion in the latter half of the tournament but by that time it was too late for the four-time champions.
Ruturaj Gaikwad's poor form
Among the many mantras of Chennai's success in IPL, runs by the openers have been the most important one. However, Gaikwad's patchy form came as a major setback. Gaikwad who was the highest run-getter for CSK last season, got his mojo back in the second-half tournament which was again too late for the team.

Among the many mantras of Chennai's success in IPL, runs by the openers have been the most important one. However, Gaikwad's patchy form came as a major setback. Gaikwad who was the highest run-getter for CSK last season, got his mojo back in the second-half tournament which was again too late for the team.

The current KKR coach and New Zealand's legendary cricketer Brendon McCullum has been appointed as England's new head coach for Test matches on Thursday.
40-year-old McCullum will start his new role for the England cricket team against New Zealand in June if he would be able to obtain the necessary work visa.
In a press statement, McCullum said that Ben Stokes is the perfect character to inspire the change around him, and he is looking forward to working closely with him to build a formidable England Test team.
The former New Zealand captain has no coaching experience in the longest format of cricket. However, he led Kolkata Knight Riders to the final as a coach while won the Caribbean Premier League title for Trinbago Knight Riders in 2020.
McCullum had played 101 Tests for New Zealand and captained the Kiwis from 2012 to his international retirement in 2016.
McCullum has scored 6453 runs in 101 Tests with 302 being his highest individual score.

Their 5-match winning run may have ended but Kings XI Punjab can still qualify for the playoffs but standing in their way is a high on confidence Chennai Super Kings.

After KKR, will CSK spoil Punjab's party?

Their 5-match winning run may have ended but Kings XI Punjab can still qualify for the playoffs but standing in their way is a high on confidence Chennai Super Kings. After spoiling KKR's&nbsp;party in their last game, CSK&nbsp;may play spoil sport for Kings XI as well, as a loss here will knock out KL Rahul's&nbsp;men. Despite being out of the tournament, Super Kings would still want to finish on a high as another victory will take them to&nbsp;3 consecutive wins. History too favours CSK&nbsp;as they hold a 14-9 head-to-head advantage over Punjab. Moreover, Chennai thrashed Kings XI by 10 wickets in the previous game this season. Everything said and done, Punjab have no option left but to win their last game.&nbsp;

Kolkata Knight Riders' Rinku Singh was undoubtedly the star in KKR's match against Lucknow Super Giants. KKR were 5 wickets down when Singh came to bat and scored 40 runs in just 15 balls. However, Kolkata lost the game to Lucknow by 2 runs.
The story of Aligarh's batter is nothing less than an amazing inspirational story which involves rejection, dejection, injury and a brilliant comeback. 
The 24-year old southpaw considered getting a job as a sweeper in his early days but later found his interest in cricket. He was away from cricket for a long time and was ruled out of IPL 2021 due to a knee injury.

Talking about his injury, KKR's batter said that he wasn't happy staying away from cricket for so long and his father didn't eat for 2-3 days when he came to know about it. 
Rinku was bought by Punjab Kings in IPL 2017 and was bought by Kolkata in 2018. Despite his presence in IPL, the leading run scorer for Uttar Pradesh in the group stage of Ranji Trophy 2018-19, didn't get many chances to play in IPL.
Rinku further added that he was a bit sad but knew that he would recover quickly as he had a lot of self-belief.

Lucknow Super Giants have become the second team after Gujarat Titans to register a place in IPL 2022 playoffs after the KL Rahul-led side edged out Kolkata Knight Riders by a mere 2 runs in a last-ball thriller on Wednesday night (May 19). Lucknow are currently placed second on the IPL 2022 points table and they will keep the second spot if Rajasthan Royals, placed at the third spot on IPL 2022 leaderboard, lost their match against Chennai Super Kings on Friday (May 20) or win the match by just a small margin.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are at the 4th spot with one match in hand and a better net run rate than Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are placed at fifth. The fate of RCB will be decided on May 20, when they lock horns with Gujarat Titans in their last round-robin match. If they manage to win their last fixture then they will close the doors for Sunrisers Hyderabad, placed at 8th spot, and Punjab Kings, placed at 7th spot, for playoffs given the two sides are hoping to make it to the last four at 14 points. Delhi have to play Mumbai Indians in their last league match and a win could earn them a playoff spot with 16 points.
Moreover, Jos Buttler continues to be the leading run-scorer in IPL 2022 with 627 runs in 13 games and currently holding the orange cap. Yuzvendra Chahal has regained the purple cap from Wanindu Hasaranga after he got a wicket in the match against Lucknow Super Giants. Chahal now has 24 wickets in 13 games.
