Virat's Shining Bangalore Overpowers Dhoni's Gloomy Chennai By 37 Runs

Just two wins of seven matches, this is certainly bizarre for the Chennai Super Kings' fans and for those who know the team's record. Chennai's awful expedition in the IPL 2020 remained intact in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore as well. Chasing an above par target of 170, CSK opening pair was dismissed early by Washington Sundar. Chennai could score just 26 runs in the powerplay, lowest this season. Later, Rayudu and debutant… read-more

Delhi's Young And Energetic Brigade Preys Bangalore's Seasoned Eleven

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s overreliance on its top-order has fetched another blow on what could be called as a fairer performance if compared to other seasons. In the 19th encounter of IPL-13, RCB fell on face to spin-attack of Delhi Capitals in the powerplay, and lost crucial wickets of Padikkal, Finch and AB de Villiers for just 43 runs. Though Kohli tried to revive things with Moeen Ali, but his solitary 43 could not do much. After … read-more

However, it were Chennai's opening-duo that stole the limelight. Chasing a decent target of 179 runs, CSK's opening pair - Shane Watson and Faf du Plesis - created the second-highest partnership of IPL history.

Delhi Capitals Make It 3 Of 4 After Scoring Highest Total Of IPL 2020

Sharjah stadium of the UAE could rightly be said as a run skyscraper amidst the cemetery of bowlers. The 16th game of IPL-13, between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals, witnessed yet another 400-plus-run match. Mounting over a decent start, Delhi’s top order went hammers and tongs after the Kolkata bowling line-up.

Young Guns Of Kolkata Knight Riders Paying Back Upon Faith

IPL, since its inception, has been touted as the platform for young players to sparkle. And if the young guns are supported by the franchise, they definitely shine. The same was witnessed in the latest encounter of IPL 2020. It were the young guns that helped Kolkata Knight Riders winning its second match in the IPL-13. KKR has bought the trio- Shivam Mavi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shubman Gill- in IPL 2018, and has retained them since then… read-more

Sundar's Bowling Shines In Match Dominated By Runs

Over 400 runs scored and still the winner decided by a super-over, what else could be impeccably described as a roller-coaster game. In the IPL match between Mumbai and Bangalore, run-guzzling bowlers of either side were hammered for above 8 runs on average. However, just in the same plot appears Washington Sundar who not only completed his quota, but also conceded just 12 runs in his 4 over. Besides, he took a key wicket of in-form MI… read-more

Nicholas Pooran's Fielding Steals Run-fed Sharjah Reality Show

Amid 449 runs and 29 humongous sixes in the ninth encounter of the IPL 2020, there came a moment when the slurry of sixes were just forgot for a while.

Toss Becomes Pickle As Dew Conditions Not Aligning With Results

In case of a dew forecast the equation for captains is quite clear, to prefer bowling after winning the toss. Not only this helps them to avoid the ball grip issue in night dew conditions that aids bowler, the outfield also becomes comparatively quicker, which assists batting second. However, this IPL 2020 has something else in the basket. Out of the 7 games played so far, all the sides winning the toss have chosen to ball owing to the wet… read-more

RCB Bowling Massacred After Virat Drops Rahul Twice

Seems like Royal Challengers Bangalore has carried forward its poor fielding performance from last year, and this time even Virat Kohli is not spared. In the sixth match of IPL 2020, RCB captain Virat Kohli displayed a rare poor fielding performance by him. Kohli, considered to be one of the best fielders, dropped catches of Punjab's KL Rahul, which turned out to be nightmare for RCB. Virat dropped Rahul twice- one on 83 runs and another on… read-more
