Rajasthan Royals face tough challenge against in-form Chennai Super Kings
Mumbai Indians' match against Rising Pune Supergiants at the Maharashtra Cricket Stadium in Pune saw an unprecedented incident when two MI players were involved in a heated exchange. Tempers flared in the 11th over of Pune innings when Rayudu failed to stop a boundary despite putting a splendid dive near the boundary rope. A dejected Harbhajan could be seen abusing at his MI teammate. An angry Rayudu gave it back to Harbhajan. Soon, both the players started to walk towards each other. As the situation turned delicate with both players coming eye to eye, Harbhajan showed maturity to calm his teammate. However in Harbhajan's next over, the duo could be seen patching up with each other after the wicket of Supergiants batsman Peter Handscomb. This is not the first time, Harbhajan is involved in a heated altercation in the Indian Premier League.
