Did anyone watch yesterday's DC vs LSG live? It was an absolute cinema of a match and highlights won't do it a justice. If you missed it, you missed out.

I watched the Lucknow Supergiant innings but couldn't watch the Delhi Capitals innings at the end. Later, when I saw the score, I was surprised to see that Delhi Capitals had won by one wicket.

Today we have GT vs PBKS, GT is looking better on paper compared to Punjab imo. Aside from Gill, Rashid they have now got Buttler, Phillips which should be strengthening their batting and fielding (cause Phillips) significantly.

There is plenty new domestic talent as well, but I don't have much idea about them. Hopefully, they'll surprise us with their performances.

I never imagined that Punjab Kings would play so well. Their score had increased so much that it would be difficult for any team to win that match but the opposite team almost complete that difficult task due to a small margin they could not take the victory. However, those who were Gujarat Titans supporters were optimistic that the team might be able to win. The fans of the opposing team Punjab Kings were also afraid that they might lose the match. All in all, it is sad that Gujarat Titans could not take the victory despite coming so far. There is really nothing to say here because everyone played well. Against such a big score, Gujarat has come so far, which is a good side for them.

Who can understand my pain? . I am such a noob.

RR does not feel same with Buttler being there, and I think disadvantage is obvious. Last season too they were smooth sailing at first but once Buttler left to prepare for T20WC (along with other Englishmen), they lost the momentum.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants - 7th Match

In today's match, I think the team that won the toss and fielded would have won. In this tournament, we have seen that victories can be achieved against big scores. Although this does not happen in all matches. If a team loses the match by a small margin against a big score, there is nothing that can be done. In the 7th match of the Indian Premier League 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants are competing very well. In today's match, I expected Sunrisers Hyderabad to win the second match but they failed there. Lucknow Super Giants' performance was amazing. Lucknow Super Giants won the match by a big margin. Both these teams have played 2 matches each, they have lost one and won the other.

Nicky P is mesmerizing, it would be thing to see how LSG manages when he doesn't score as much. On SRH, I think they are heavily dependent on their batting to put up mammoth totals and when it doesn't happen, it's lost game for them.

LSG has got domestic talent in bowling department yet they are doing extremely well.

Every time Royal Challengers Bengaluru due to various mistakes they are not able to reach their desired position in the end and even start with their downfall from the beginning. But this season the team is seen in a different form. Winning two consecutive matches has kept them at the top. Although their long-standing efforts have failed repeatedly, they want to succeed in this season. However, I was quite surprised to see the performance of Chennai Super Kings. The fall of wickets from the beginning and the increase in the recorded run rate had already given the message that they would not be able to win this match. Honestly, I don't expect such performance from Chennai Super Kings but many have been able to guess that they are the weak in this season.

Guess we won't be seeing — "Chepauk fortress" signs this season.

You are right, CSK is known to be powerful in IPL, but you look their team this time around and you don't get that vibe.

In match of CSK day of prior, MSD didn't come early despite RRR being high and he having better ability to bat compared to Ashwin, yesterday Hardik Pandya making 11(17) and in the end MI lost by 36 runs — Now, certainly these are quality players but you still wonder then what goes into their mind to play like this?

Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad - 10th Match

None of the four top order players could perform as expected. Due to which there was a possibility of a slight decrease in the run run but the rest of the batsmen were able to do that in the match. Aniket Verma is playing a big innings of 47 runs off 28 balls and Heinrich Klaasen is playing a big innings of 32 runs off 19 balls. Since these two wickets are still on the pitch, the pressure that the team was under at the beginning has definitely been lifted. For Delhi Capitals, the pressure will gradually increase. Almost every match in this tournament is high-scoring, which is why it will not be easy to predict the match. If Sunrisers Hyderabad score like 200 in today's match, then there can be a big competition in the match.

Lol, yesterday he came to bat early and yet played as if he didn't care to win the game, and in the end they lost by mere 6 runs. If you don't care to win matches, then sit out.

KKR has one of best batting line-up in this IPL season yet they were absolutely decimated yesterday. Also, overall KKR have been pretty mediocre this season tbh, one may wonder if Gambhir was really that great mentor last season that they performed extremely well back then and not without him this time around.

I didn't think mentors matter that much, but they may be important. Look at DC, they are doing good under KP as well.
