Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to unleash their brute batting power on struggling Royal Challengers Bengaluru when the two teams face off in their return-leg fixture of the IPL in Hyderabad on Thursday.
When he received his maiden call-up to India's T20I squad for the tour of Zimbabwe, 21-year-old Andhra all-rounder Nitish Reddy felt he has achieved only 50 percent of his goal to make his "Nanna" proud.
He now has the most sixes in an IPL season -- 39 maximums -- bettering Virat Kohli's tally of 38 in 2016. The 23 year old's smoking innings came at a strike rate of over 210! With 467 runs from 13 innings and 3 50s, Abhishek is not done yet and ready to give bowlers nightmares in the play-offs.
Punjab Kings fast bowler Kagiso Rabada etched his name in the IPL record books as he became the fastest to pick 100 wickets in the T20 league in terms of matches played.
Despite a laboured run-up and a not so technically sound bowling action, Arjun stuck to the basics, bowled the right lengths, not allowing the batters freedom to take him on.
It's a pity that all the cricketing brains in the dugout -- Brian Lara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Kumar Sangakkara and Dale Steyn in coaching roles -- cannot convert performances out in the middle.

He finished with 4-0-34-3, a testament to his ability to exploit early wickets and dismantle batting line-ups with his raw pace. This performance served as a stark reminder of why he was the most sought-after bowler at the IPL auction.
Virat Kohli has got back his "power game" and things have started falling in place for him ahead of the T20 World Cup, said former India Test cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar.

India has plenty of options at the top of the order and someone has to 'sacrifice' the opener's slot for KL Rahul, who performs his best when he takes the first strike, reckons former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar.
