Top Match Moments
Delhi Capitals gave fans a nail‑biter in Visakhapatnam, chasing down 210 runs with just one wicket to spare. Axar Patel’s first full‑time captaincy debut ended in triumph as Ashutosh Sharma’s unbeaten 66 sealed the win. The chase made it clear that high‑octane cricket is the new normal for the Capitals.
Sunrisers Hyderabad turned the powerplay into a fireworks show against Rajasthan Royals. Travis Head smashed a 105‑meter six off Jofra Archer and racked up 23 runs in a single over, making Archer’s spell the most expensive in IPL history. With Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma chipping in, SRH posted a massive 286/6, leaving the Royals scrambling.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians opened the season with a record partnership between Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton. The duo set the tone, but inconsistent performances from new signings like Jonny Bairstow mean the MI chase for playoff spots is far from over.

Outside the boundary, Gujarat Titans found themselves in the middle of a ₹450 crore chit‑fund investigation. Four players, including Shubman Gill, are linked as investors, and the CID has started questioning them. The case shows how financial scandals can spill over into cricket’s spotlight.
