Hello and welcome to today’s newsletter.

A certain Mr. Tendulkar made his debut for MI yesterday. It must be a record father-son duo working together for an IPL team. Certainly a proud moment for Tendulkar family.

In another match last night, Rajasthan did unthinkable and two men pulled off a greatest chase for them.

Last Matches Summary

Match 22 - Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders

This match will be remembered for V Iyer’s one man show in KKR inning. What a game he had, scored his maidan century, and only the second century for KKR franchise, after the first one McCullum scored in very first IPL match in 2008. 15 years gap in centuries for KKR team. Unfortunately Iyer did not end on winning side.

Rohit and Kishan started Mumbai chase in their trademark attacking style, and SKY continued the attack. It was a comfortable chase and good to see SKY back in form.

Brief Score: Mumbai Indians 186/5 (I Kishan 58, SKY 43; S Sharma 2/27) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 185/6 (V Iyer 104, A Russell 21; H Shokeen 2/34) by 5 wickets

Player of the Match: V Iyer

Match 23 - Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals

Second game was completely opposite of the first game. During first half of the chase, match looked completely out of Rajasthan’s hand, with very low win probability. But Samson and Hetmyer took the game on its head and turned it around completely. A chase and win like this would do wonders psychologically.

Gujrat had a nice start, everyone contributed to the score and managed a decent score on the board. They looked in control in defending this score but those two men had other ideas.

Brief Score: Rajasthan Royals 179/7 (S Samson 60, S Hetmyer 56*; M Shami 3/25) beat Gujarat Titans 177/7 (D Miller 46, S Gill 45; S Sharma 2/25) by 3 wickets

Player of the Match: S Hetmyer
