Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen who had earlier criticised R Ashwin when he Mankaded Jos Buttler in the last edition of the Indian Premier League, has now come out in support of Ravichandran Ashwin on the Mankading issue. Pietersen admitted that he has had a change of heart and now agrees with Ashwin.
Here's a recap of last night's match between CSK and KKR
KXIP are currently parked at the bottom of the table whereas SRH are in sixth place. Given it is still the early stages of the tournament, both teams will be keen to boost their playoff chances with a win.

Mayank Agarwal (Kings XI Punjab)
Rahul's fellow Karnataka and India team-mate has been so good atop the order that he has kept veteran Chris Gayle out of the starting XI. Agarwal's partnership with Rahul has been a positive for KXIP and he too will look to be among the runs again.
KL Rahul (Kings XI Punjab)
The KXIP skipper has been in fine form all season thus far, leading from the front with the bat. Rahul's form has been one of the few bright spots of their season thus far and he will hope to inspire his side to a good start again.
Priyam Garg (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
India's skipper in the U-19 World Cup held earlier this year, Garg has added some much-needed bite to SRH's middle-order. The Hyderabad side have been overly reliant on their top order in the past but the youngster's ability to find the boundary on a regular basis towards the later part of the innings make him a dangerous prospect.
Rashid Khan (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
The Afghanistan superstar has started finding his groove again in recent matches and, much like his skipper, can be a match-winner in his own right. Not only is the leg-spinner economical - now at least in part due to the fact that batsmen prefer playing him out - but he also is regularly among the wickets.
Just three hours left for the match, so let's take a look at five players who can have maximum impact:
DAVID WARNER (SUNRISERS HYDERABAD)
The SRH captain showed some glimpses of getting back in among the runs during the side's previous match against Mumbai Indians when he scored 60 in what was ultimately a losing effort. Warner's explosiveness atop the order has the capability to single-handedly win matches for Hyderabad and so team management will be hoping the southpaw does get into a consistent rhythm in this match.

I would like to confirm the following and wish that our family's wish to allow us to mourn be respected. Thank you all for the love and support🙏 https://t.co/ciyEt8VYLT

SRH beat KXIP by 45 runs the last time these two teams clashed in an IPL encounter – in Hyderabad on the 29th of April, 2019. A 56-ball 81 from David Warner helped SRH post a mammoth 212 for 6. The Australian southpaw blasted 7 fours and 2 sixes. Saha, Pandey and Mohammad Nabi also chipped in with the bat. KL Rahul top-scored for KXIP with a 56-ball 79 but with not much support from others, the team fell short by 46 runs in the chase.
In the last meeting in the UAE: It was a Glenn Maxwell special when the two teams last met in the UAE – in Sharjah in April, 2014. The Australian powerhouse hammered 95 off just 43 deliveries to power KXIP to 193 for 6. Pujara and Sehwag also chipped in with 30s. SRH were never in the chase and were bowled out for 121 in the 20th over. Lakshmipathy Balaji was the pick of the KXIP bowlers returning with 4-13 in 4 overs.

Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming has revealed why Kedar Jadhav came in ahead of Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo in their run chase against KKR last night. Stephen Fleming said the CSK think tank thought since Kedar Jadhav is a middle-to-late batter for India so he could dominate spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy.

West Indies batting legend Brian Lara has said that MS Dhoni’s inability to finish matches for Chennai Super Kings is puzzling, and he also called for changes in their batting line-up for the remainder of the season Lara feels that Dhoni needs to maybe look at some other players for finisher's role.

Will Sunrisers Hyderabad add to KXIP's misery? Well, the stats heavily back the team from Hyderabad. So far these two teams have met 14 times in the IPL so far and the Hyderabad-based team currently leads the head-to-head 10-4. The last time they met, SRH won by 45 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Sunrisers set a target of 213 after David Warner top-scored with 82. In reply, despite KL Rahul’s 79, KXIP could only manage 167/8 in 20 overs.
'Rahul, naam toh suna hi hoga,' and after last night's performance you definitely must have heard Rahul Tripathi's name. Tripathi played a blazing knock of 81 off 51 balls to help set up Kolkata Knight Riders 10-run win over CSK and his efforts with the bat earned him a shout out from team owner Shah Rukh Khan as well. During the post-match presentation when Tripathi went receive his Man of the Match award Khan shouted, 'Rahul, naam toh suna hi hoga,' much to the delight of Tripathi.
Here's the video of SRK saying 'Rahul naam toh suna hoga'. Tripathi is blushing throughout. 💓 pic.twitter.com/2q0L1IIx52

In the match 22nd match of the IPL 2020, SRH will take on KXIP at Dubai International Stadium tonight. Again, it is going to be a hot and humid day with the sky expected to be mainly clear. The maximum temperature is likely to touch 37 degree Celsius, while the minimum will be around 28 degrees. There is almost no chance of precipitation. The playing conditions will be heavy owing to the humidity which could reach up to 50 per cent. At 21 kmph, the wind is likely to affect the game.
Despite the likes of KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal and Mohammad Shami finding themselves among top run-getters and wicket-takers list, KXIP have not been able to get the desired results as a team and have lost three matches in a row. SRH, on the other hand, are looking more and more shaky, owing partly to a spate of injuries to their first choice players namely Mitchell Marsh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and also to the patch forms of their two batting mainstays -- David Warner and Jonny Bairstow.

Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner historically has been immense against Kings XI Punjab. The explosive Australian opening batsman has scored a whopping 819 runs in just 17 innings with 10 half-centuries. With eight of them coming in each of his last eight outings against Punjab.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will clash with Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in match 22 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in Dubai on the 8th of October. It will be a clash between two sides which are languishing in the bottom-half of the points table -- SRH are sixth with two wins, while KXIP are last with just one win.
Kings XI Punjab
While their batting looks sorted with Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul at top of the order, it is their bowling that has been the weak link. Mohammed Shami has been excellent, but hasn't found the right kind of support from other bowlers. They would have to take some tough calls as far as the bowling is concerned. Mujeeb-ur-Rahman and Chris Jordan could find a place in the XI. Also they must be eager to try out Ishan Porel.
