Hello and welcome to today’s newsletter. Happy Sunday.

Sunday means double the ‘Dhamaal’ today.

Last night we witnessed fastest fifty of this season by Ajinkya Rahane for CSK. Who would have thought Rahane will come out all gun blazing in an IPL match, score the fastest fifty and provide such an entertainment.

Last Matches Summary

Match 11 - Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals

It feels like business as usual for RR, another day and another high scoring dominant game. Jaiswal and Buttler continued as usual and Hetmyer finished the innings in style.

DC were poor in chase, and Boult and Chahal shone with the ball and did the damage.

Brief Score: Rajasthan Royals 199/4 (Jos Buttler 79, Yashasvi Jaiswal 60; Mukesh Kumar 2/36) beat Delhi Capitals 142/9 (David Warner 65, Lalit Yadav 38; Trent Boult 3/29, Yuzi Chahal 3/27) by 57 runs

Impact Player: Murugan Ashwin replaced Jos Buttler (RR) and Prithvi Shah replaced Khaleel Ahmed (DC)

Player of the Match: Yashasvi Jaiswal

Match 12 - Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings

Mumbai Indians had an average day with bat, and put up a below average score on the board, all credit to Ravindra Jadeja for tight bowling and picking up 3 wickets.

In chase, Ajinkya Rahane came out with a purpose and showed he is not just a test player. He played magnificent and picked up fastest fifty of this season. CSK chased down the score comfortably.

Brief Score: Chennai Super Kings 159/3 (Ajinkya Rahane 61, Ruturaj Gaikwad 40; Kumar Kartikeya 1/24) beat Mumbai Indians 157/8 (Ishan Kishan 32, Tim David 31; Ravindra Jadeja 3/20) by 7 wickets

Impact Player: Kumar Kartikeya replaced Tim David (MI) and Ambati Rayadu replaced Deepak Chahar (CSK)

Player of the Match: Ravindra Jadeja
