I’m proud of the Kolkata Knight Riders team. No, SRK is not the reason. The outfit won its first IPL title in 5 attempts while its opponent for today – the Royal Challengers Bangalore – are the perennial underachievers, not going the distance. But there is something plaguing the defending champs – they ended up losing a close game to the Rajasthan Royals the other evening. They’ve got to re-group and take on a side fresh from a thumping win....

Tonight’s match sees India’s captain and vice-captain face off against each other as RCB take on MI at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Mumbai continued on the very familiar path of starting slowly in IPL as they were outclassed by Delhi in their opening fixture. RCB on the other hand had the worst possible start against the defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener. They were bundled out of a paltry total of 70 runs and would certainly look to bounce back from that disappointment....

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) had announced a deadline of 1st June for all the national players to report for the camp before the home Test series. However, with KKR qualifying for the final, Narine would have to miss the IPL final in order to make it back on the deadline.

The background David Warner was the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad until 2017 but after the infamous ball-tampering scandal, the BCCI barred him from playing in the 2018 season of IPL.
