    DC VS CSK | Player Ratings - Shikhar Dhawan half-century in vain as Delhi Capitals succumb to disappointing six-wicket loss

    Shikhar Dhawan scored a half-century and Axar Dhawan bowled with an economy rate of 4, but that was not enough for Delhi Capitals to get the better of Chennai Super Kings. The game should have been viewed in an introspective manner by the Delhi franchise for the change in fortune in the future.

    R Ashwin's Buttler-Mankad act was not instanteous, it was pre-planned and that is how it should be

    Opinions are divided and anger has been thrown at Ravichandran Ashwin for adopting a “controversial” way to dismiss Jos Buttler last night. While asking to take the moral high ground has been the major order so far, from the past incidents, it was clear that Ashwin would have done that anyway.

    IPL 2019 | Player Ratings - Rajasthan Royals players rated and slated from their unfortunate Punjab campaign

    All might come down to how unfortunate Jos Butter’s dismissal was, but as Kumar Sangakkara stated they still held a chance after that. It fell apart in the last few overs in a flash and unfortunately, Jos Buttler’s solid and composed innings will be talked about for other reasons than his batting.

    After Harbhajan Singh's solid performance yesterday, Yuvraj Singh turned the clock back in Mumbai today with a vintage performance, but Mumbai ended up being on the losing side. The lack of proper understanding the wicket cost the hosts the game even before the second innings started.
