Hello and welcome to today’s newsletter.

South African players are back from their national duty and franchises now have full squad to pick teams from. This would give breather to SRH (who have been missing their captain Markram) and LSG (who have been missing Quinton de Kock).

Last Matches Summary

Match 9 - Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

What a turnaround for KKR, from 89 for 5, everyone had given up except Shardul Thakur, who had other ideas and his partnership with Rinku Singh got KKR to a respectable score.

RCB started well but then KKR spinners took over and RCB collapsed like a house of cards.

Brief Score: Kolkata Knight Riders (Shardul Thakur 68, Rahmanullah Gurbaz 57; David Willey 2/16) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (Faf du Plessis 23, Virat Kohli 21; Varun Chakravarthy 4/15) by 81 runs

Impact Player: Suyash Sharma replaced Venkatesh Iyer (KKR) and Anuj Rawat replaced Mohammed Siraj (RCB)

Player of the Match: Shardul Thakur
