Wow! What a few days this has been for the game of cricket and for IPL! What a roller coaster ride and what performances this year. This has to be one of the most gripping IPLs I have ever witnessed!
So the points table as of today.
Mumbai Indians
Delhi Capitals
Sunrisers Hyderabad
What a game today was! Sunrisers Hyderabad with their brilliant bowling have basically knocked Royal Challengers out of the IPL! Incredible performances from the Hyderabad players. I thought Saha miss would cost them dearly but apparently not! And guess what? No one's going to say it but I will because this platform supports free speech but ever since Jonny Bairstow was dropped by SRH, they started winning. I don't think they have lost a game since then!
Where do the teams stand?
Mumbai Indians still standing tall, still favorites IMO. Rohit's form is a huge concern but if he turns it around, they will walk away with the title. They are the team to beat this IPL and rightfully already in the finals.
Delhi Capitals had a great start to the season and started dropping towards the later half showing some signs of weakness. Still a formidable side and can beat anyone on their day but their batting is showing slight signs of concern. Shreyas Iyer has been a good captain all along!
Sunrisers Hyderabad are truly rising. Rising from their record low of #7 at one point in the tournament. They are a team on the charge but they have won so many matches in the past that just by sheer probability they will close to Delhi Capitals in the next game. I say this because they are not that strong a team to really even beat the odds.
Let's see how the tournament plays out. Hopefully the best team wins!
