IPL 2022 | CSK vs DC| How to stop David Warner?

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be facing Delhi in the 55th match of IPL 2022. While CSK’s campaign for the season is virtually over, they will look to win their remaining games and walk out of the tournament with respect.

In their subsequent encounter against Delhi, the biggest obstacle for the Men in Yellow will be David Warner. The Australian southpaw has been an essential cog in Delhi’s batting. However, it is pretty evident that he will take the match away from the team if he gets settled.

Let us look at his performance in IPL 2022.

IPL 2022: In IPL 2022, Warner has scored 356 runs in 8 matches in the tournament so far. He averages 59.33 in the contest, and his strike rate is an impressive 156.83. Delhi will mainly depend on him for their batting efforts, and CSK needs to see his back as quickly as possible.

Moving further ahead, we will be looking at how he fares against the different types of bowling in the powerplays.

David Warner vs Different bowling types

Plan Against Warner: As the table suggests, Warner has no visible weakness against a particular type of bowling. So, the only way to stop him, in my opinion, is to suffocate him for runs.

The CSK bowlers should look to bowl at Warner’s body. Cramp him and don’t give him width, and the length has to be around the good length spot. Anything too short or too full or anything that provides him room will be murdered by the south-paw. 

So, a wicket-to-wicket line and bowling around the excellent length can keep him quiet for some time. If the runs dry up, he may look to do something out of the ordinary, and that may result in his wicket.

Another plan against Warner can be not providing him with enough pace. Being an Australian, he is a great player of pace bowling, and much unlike other Aussies, he is also a good player of spin. 

So, an ideal plan for him could be the pace bowlers not providing enough pace to work with. The main option for this task will be Dwaine Pretorius. If Warner is not dismissed early, Pretorius should be introduced into the attack and asked to bowl slower through the air.

Babar, Shaheen and Rizwan are better than Kohli, Bumrah and Pant, says Aqib Javed

Former fast bowler Aqib Javed has claimed that Pakistan stars Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammed Rizwan are better players than their respective Indian counterparts Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant. Javed said that although the aforementioned Indian players are extremely skilful, their Pakistani counterparts are doing much better at the international level currently which ultimately makes them better players. The comparison between Virat and Babar has been simmering for quite a while now. Talking about this comparison, Javed asserted that Kohli is already past his prime, whereas Babar’s stature as a cricketer is gradually increasing with each passing day. Therefore, the Lahore Qalandar’s head coach believes that the Pakistan captain is a superior batsman to the Indian legend at present. “Now I think Babar is ahead. Kohli had his peak but now he is going down. But Babar, on the other hand, is going up”, Javed said. Answering the question regarding the better bowler between Bumrah and Afridi, Javed said that the latter came into the scene when Bumrah already established himself as a fierysome fast bowler. But the former has proved himself an even better bowler on many occasions. “I now think that Shaheen is better than Bumrah because when Shaheen came into the international circuit Bumrah had already established himself and the critics used to say that Bumrah is doing well in Tests, T20Is, and so but now Shaheen has proved he is even better and has more capacity than Bumrah,” Javed was quoted by ARY News. Aqib Javed, who represented Pakistan in 185 international matches, also gave his opinion on the constant comparisons between Rizwan and Pant. The Punjab-born pacer said that although Pant is a ferocious hitter of the cricket ball, the art of taking responsibility with utmost perfection makes Rizwan a finer batsman. “Rizwan is better than Pant these days. There is no doubt that Pant is an extremely skilful player but the way Rizwan takes the responsibility, Pant is well behind him. It is often said that Pant is an aggressive player, but the aggressiveness doesn’t mean to hit a couple of big shots and got out but to stay at the crease, fight, and finish the game,” the 49-year-old concluded.
