Punjab must be doing something right in domectic level to produce such talent in t20 format. Salil Arora the recent one. #IPL

Not even once SRH looked like they were not in this chase. Chasing master class by Travis head, Abhisehk sharma & Klassen.

Power play has become the game changing phase much more than ever.

Why has shardul not bowled yet ? Never saw bumrah looking so off colour and out of options. What’s happening with MI ? If they lose this, it’s over for them and that too so early on in the tournament. MI fans, what’s your take ? #MI

Sunrisers looking dangerous. Klassen has shown a different side to his batting this season. With head also coming back to form. Thier batting is most dangerous. Looking good for qualification. #SRH
