IPL

If these 2 great servants of Indian cricket don't manage to turn their form around during 2nd half of the IPL, should India pick a side for T20 internationals on the basis of reputation alone

Sunrisers Hyderabad has rebounded spectacularly well with 3 wins in a row, including the comfortable win today against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Kuldeep Yadav, who spent 7 years at Kolkata Knight Riders, returned to haunt his former side as his 4 wickets haul helped DC to a comfortable win over KKR

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) slumped to their 4th successive loss continuing their miserable start under new captain Ravindra Jadeja.

Needing 12 off the last 2 balls against Odean Smith, Tewatia managed to hit 2 maximums in a row over the deep mid-wicket region.

Shubman Gill's blistering 84 from 46 balls, and Lockie Ferguson's 4 for 28 ensured a comfortable victory in the end for Gujarat Titans

Rajasthan Royals kept up their excellent start to IPL with a second successive win to reach the top of the IPL table.

KKR ended up with a comfortable win over Punjab Kings thanks to the contributions from their star Jamaican Andre Russell and Indian international Umesh Yadav.

An Odean Smith cameo at the end turned out to be the difference as Punjab Kings chased down a mammoth target of 206 against RCB to start their IPL campaign with a win. Smith ended up with 25 off 8 balls as Punjab got home with an over to spare in the end.

Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav put together a stunning 75 runs partnership to deny Mumbai Indians a win in their opening encounter of the IPL.
