36 out of the 56 games of IPL 2020 are over. The race for the playoffs is getting tighter with 20 games left. Amazingly, all 8 teams still have a chance of finishing in the top 4. DC at the top are not assured while RR at the bottom are not out of it yet. This IPL has given us a little bit of everything.
4 Super Over games is something no IPL has ever seen and we saw that here. DC and KXIP played out the first while RCB and MI saw through the second. We then got 2 in one day in the games between KKR and SRH and KXIP and DC. The last encounter needed 2 Super Overs as one ended in a tied score.

An IPL record was set when RR chased down a target of 224 vs KXIP. That match was remembered for Rahul Tewatia’s 5 sixes in 1 Sheldon Cottrell over.

When MS Dhoni took the field vs MI in the opener, it was his return to cricket after 14 months. Fans had been waiting for this for some time. Sadly, Dhoni is yet to do anything outstanding with the bat so far in this edition and his leadership is also under the scanner. He has done a good job with the gloves though.

In addition to all these, we saw players being called out for their lockdown waists in the tournament opener, the fastest ball being bowled by Anrich Nortje and Sunil Narine’s bowling action coming under scrutiny before being cleared. IPL 2020 is certainly giving us everything.
