That's a wrap - The weekend comes to a close. Hope you all had a lot of fun. But IPL never stops. Monday, 20th April sees the clash between the western neighbours. Gujarat Titans are set to host Mumbai Indians at the gigantic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But our buildup begins well in advance. Until then, cheers!
A quick recap of the double header - What an entertaining day it was! A proper Sunday treat. The day began at Eden Gardens with Kolkata Knight Riders getting a very narrow win against Rajasthan Royals, their first of the season. They almost botched up an under-par target, but Rinku Singh took them home with a responsible knock. Come the evening game, Punjab Kings again shattered the mathematical possibilities by smashing 254 runs on the back of ruthless ball-hitting and in the defence, they were just as clinical. They look like a team playing on a different stratosphere and maintain their unbeaten run. Lucknow Super Giants were left staring at the ceiling as they have a lot of soul-searching to do in all departments.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Priyansh Arya receives the award for his swashbuckling 93 off just 37 balls, at a staggering strike rate of 251.35. On what stood out in his innings, he tells that he was pleased to have continued batting deep after the Powerplay and kept contributing runs for the team. On his six-hitting training, he shares that he does not practice hitting sixes at all. Adds that he focuses purely on timing the ball as well as possible in the nets, and finds that approach pays off more when he gets out to bat. On his fitness routine, he says he has put in work over the last four to five months, following whatever schedule his coaches send him and crediting the routine for the improvements he has seen. On his partnership with Cooper Connolly and the lack of conversation between them at the crease, he explains that he believes too much talking while batting only clutters the mind with unnecessary thoughts, and that a quieter partnership allows both batters to play with more clarity. On his favourite shot of the night, he points out the slash over point, which went for a six.
The captain of the Punjab Kings - Shreyas Iyer says it was exceptional, with some of the shots being jaw-dropping, and adds that it takes a lot of courage and composure. He mentions that hitting fast bowlers off the back foot straight down the ground requires great bravery. He also feels that while things can slip at times, the way that the partnership was built, especially through the middle overs, was sensational. Iyer reveals he was chatting with Cooper Connolly and Priyansh Arya, jokingly asking them to compete for the most sixes, with his bat as the prize. Shreyas says that the team’s mantra is to let players be, trusting them to follow their own patterns without over-instruction. He mentions that Ricky Ponting delivers the motivation before the game, while he plays his part, and the players respond on the field. Iyer also points out that most of their bowlers are experienced, international players. Further says that the team has clear plans against opposition batters, and it ultimately comes down to execution. He stresses the importance of not getting complacent. On making this venue their fortress, he says absolutely. Adds that whenever they come here and look at the wicket, it gives them immense pleasure to be part of this setup. He mentions that last year they had to sit down and rethink their approach for this season, and wanted to prepare a surface that supports both their batters and bowlers.
... Time for the post-match Presentation ...
Up next for a quick interview - PBKS' Vijaykumar Vyshak, on being asked whether he has any premeditated plans while bowling, says that there is a lot of planning from the coaches and video analysis. He credits the people involved in that as well. He acknowledges the last couple of games did not go his way, but feels the support from the support staff made all the difference. On his recent form, he says the last two games did not go his way, but he drew cues from how Prince bowled and backed yorkers and slower deliveries as his primary weapons. He details that the video analyst specifically flagged that length balls are not a good option on this surface, which is why he went fuller and harder with the yorker. On his mindset, he says his approach stays the same regardless of the situation, whether he bowls one over or four, the goal is simply to win the match for his team.
The skipper of Lucknow Super Giants - Rishabh Pant says his left hand is getting better, but he took a blow on the right elbow, which is something he will need to keep an eye on. Rishabh tells that it is difficult to point out exactly where things went wrong. There are areas of concern, but also positives to take, and as a team, they need to do better. Pant mentions it was a pre-decided plan for Ayush Badoni to open, to allow him to bat freely. He says he believes in this team, and adds that when a team is playing well, like Punjab are, you have to give credit to them.
Mayhem in Mullanpur - Prabhsimran was gone off the third ball, with Shami drawing first blood. That was as good as it got for LSG all night. Priyansh Arya, carrying the rust of a mixed season, chose tonight to shed all of it in one go. Connolly walked in and matched him shot for shot, as the two youngsters fed off each other in a partnership that left the LSG bowlers shellshocked. They added 182 runs in just 80 balls before Arya fell agonisingly short of a hundred. Connolly was not too far behind either, but by then the damage was well and truly done. The carnage did not stop there. Stoinis, Wadhera and Shashank piled on in the back end, squeezing every last run out of a demoralised attack. In an evening where LSG's bowlers were put to the sword one after another, Prince Yadav was the solitary bright spot, finishing with figures of 2/25.
A defensive bowling masterclass - What followed after the restrictions lifted was a masterclass from the Kings' bowlers. On a belter of a pitch, they identified the bigger boundary and built their defensive plan around it. The overs dried up, the boundaries stopped coming, and LSG found themselves stuck in a phase of the game where they needed runs the most and found them the least. The asking rate climbed in silence. That is the cruel arithmetic of a T20 chase. A few quiet overs do not just cost runs, they shoot up the asking rate as well. The likes of Chahal and Vyshak tightened up the screws with cunning variations and were spot on with execution. By the time LSG looked up, the game was already gone. PBKS had pulled so far ahead that they couldn't even see their opponents in the rearview mirror.
The openers set the base - The order of the day was aggression, and Marsh and Badoni took that brief and ran with it. The two openers put on a positive start, giving LSG the kind of foundation a chase of this magnitude demanded. Badoni was particularly fluent, keeping the scoreboard moving, but he fell on the last ball of the Powerplay, though, with LSG at 61/1, a moment that threatened to take the fizz out of the innings. Pant walked in and played with freedom from the very first ball, with Marsh motoring along well too. At the end of 8 overs, there was very little to separate the two teams, with the Powerplays also cancelling out each other.
Kings rule at home - Another game, another commanding win for Punjab Kings. They are making a habit of it, going past other teams like it's a normal routine. This makes five wins out of six games (one abandoned) for them, and they get to 11 points. The first team to do so and the only side yet to lose a single game this year. The only thing they would look to improve on is their fielding and catching efficiency, which has taken a considerable hit. Problems are rising for the Lucknow Super Giants on the other end. But to be fair to them, they did well in patches to get to 200, but still remained massively short of what they were after. Their bowling came under the scanner this evening, and with good reason.

Marco Jansen To Himmat Singh
A convincing 54-run win for the Punjab Kings. Jansen hurls it on a length, outside off. Himmat flat bats it back at the bowler. No time for Jansen to react as he sticks out his left hand. The ball deflects off his hand towards cover for a single.
Last ball coming up. Himmat Singh, LSG's Impact Sub, walks out to face that.

Marco Jansen To Aiden Markram OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, PBKS hold onto a catch, and once again, the camera pans to the PBKS dugout, where Ricky Ponting shows no emotion at all. Jansen continues to push it across the right-hander, on a length. Aiden moves across the sticks and looks to launch it down the ground. Skies it towards long off, where Marcus Stoinis settles under it and gets low to take the catch.

Marco Jansen To Aiden Markram
FOUR! The ball flies in the air as does the bat. On a good length, leaving the right-hander. Aiden Markram flashes and flashes hard at it. Aiden loses grip on the bat and it balloons behind the stumps. The ball flies wide of short third to his right for a boundary.

Marco Jansen To Mukul Choudhary
PUT DOWN! The drops are spreading quickly across the field. Cross-seam ball, on a length, outside off. Mukul Choudhary swings for the hills by shuffling across. Slices it off the outer half towards short third. Prabhsimran Singh, with the gloves, calls for the catch and moves across to his right. Yuzvendra Chahal is right under it but he moves away to avoid bumping into the keeper. Perhaps that played on the mind of Prabhsimran, who could not hold onto it.

Xavier Bartlett To Mukul Choudhary
IN THE AIR AND DROPPED AGAIN! Is it a doppelganger? No, it's Shashank for the third time. Wherever Shashank is going, the ball is following him, it seems. It's just not been a good outing for him in the field. Shreyas Iyer at long on sees the funny side of it. But the camera pans to the PBKS dugout, with Ponting with a blank face as the head coach just cannot believe it. Short and wide outside off, slower at 114.3 kph. Mukul decides to take it on, fetching it from well outside off and launching it aerially towards deep backward square leg. Shashank Singh comes in from the deep and makes a meal of it once again. The batters cross for two runs.

Arshdeep Singh To Aiden Markram
SIX! What happened there? Ricky Ponting in the dugout is not happy one bit. Total misjudgement from Shashank Singh. Second time tonight that Shashank has made an error in the field. Seam-up ball, angling away, full in length. Aiden carves it off the outer half and it is skied to deep cover. Singh gets around to his right but feels that the ball is going to sail over his head. He turns around and watches the ball land on the boundary cushions on the full. A hand of apology straight away from Shashank.

Just in! Arshdeep pushes it even wider from the right-hander and nearly a yorker. Choudhary reaches out but fails to connect. Mukul feels it should be a wide and takes the review. The replays show that Choudhary had moved across and the tramline moved with him. The ball is within the guideline and it is a fair delivery.

What are you appealing for, Vyshak? A comical appeal for LBW from the speedster on a Free Hit. Angled in, on middle and leg, very full, Aiden clears the front leg but is beaten on the inside edge. The ball raps him on the back leg before dribbling to short third.

Low full toss, on off. Aiden drops low and smears it to long on for one.
STRATEGIC BREAK! Punjab Kings, with all the spot-on execution in this middle over phase, will surely believe that this is their game to lose now. LSG kept losing wickets and to be fair to them, the mountain they are chasing just demanded to do that. However, the tinkering with the batting order hasn't worked well for the visitors. But they will still aim to get as close as possible until Markram is there in the middle. With 97 needed off 24 balls, Vijaykumar Vyshak (3-0-21-1) is back on.

SIX! All the way! On a back of a length, on middle. Markram clears the front leg and stands tall. Whips it flat to the left of deep mid-wicket for a six. LSG need many more of these. Realistically, the target looks far-fetched, so it is more about cutting down the margin of defeat.

OUT! CAUGHT EASILY! Jansen strikes and Pooran's lean run continues with the bat this season. Fuller, outside off. It is the deceptive knuckle ball from Jansen. Pooran clears his front leg and looks to go big down the ground, but fails to read the variation and mistimes it badly off the toe end. Iyer moves to his right at long on and takes a good running catch. LSG are 139/4, chasing 255.

Pooran goes down on a knee for the slog sweep, but tries to hit it too hard as he targets the longer boundary. Gets it high in the air towards Shashank at deep square leg. Shashank stabilises himself but misjudges the trajectory of the ball. Dives to his right at the last second but drops it. A single taken.

Arshdeep Singh To Rishabh Pant OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT BEHIND! Excellent execution again rewards the bowler. Wide yorker outside off. Pant shuffles across and bends, moving away from the off stump. Opens the face to slice it through third man but gets it off the outside edge and there is a deviation as well. The ball goes flat to the left of the keeper, offering a catching practice for Prabhsimran behind the stumps. Loud appeal and the finger goes up. Pant is unconvinced and calls for the review. UltraEdge shows a clear spike, but Pant walks back to his crease, believing it is the bat hitting the ground and not the outside edge. The third umpire spots the deflection, and the on-field decision stands.

A confident shout for LBW! Turned down by the umpire. Prabhsimran Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal are pretty convinced. Shreyas Iyer sends it upstairs. Where has this pitched? This is bowled quicker through the air, full and around leg from over the wicket. Nicholas Pooran gets down on a knee for the slog sweep but misses and gets hit on the crouched back thigh. No bat involved, but the Ball Tracking confirms that the ball has pitched outside the line.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Rishabh Pant
SIX! Nearly a perfect team effort in the deep. Full and flighted, just outside off. Pant drops to a knee and swings hard across the line for the slog sweep. Gets it high but not far enough. Arya charges to his right from deep mid-wicket and takes it near the ropes with his hands stretched forward. Realising that he is about to touch the ropes, he lobs the ball to the converging fielder from long on and Jansen takes it nicely. But the umpires want to have a look at the legality of the catch. The replays show that Arya's foot is grazing the boundary cushion while having the ball in hand. So it will be a six.
Another special effort from PBKS? Not quite. Priyansh Arya's feet are in contact with the boundary cushions when he has the ball in hand.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Mitchell Marsh OUT!
OUT! MISTIMED AND CAUGHT! Chahal fishes out the Bison and gets rewarded for exceptional execution. Chahal invites the batter by flighting the ball at 86.7 kph. Full and pitching outside off. Marsh sits down on a knee and goes for the slog sweep across the line. Gets it off the bottom of the bat. Ends up hitting it flat and straight to his Australian teammate Xavier Bartlett at long on. Marsh has a wry smile as he walks off. Lucknow Super Giants are 109/2, needing 146 more runs.
The physio is out for Rishabh Pant. The magic spray is being applied to the right elbow of the LSG skipper, not the one he took a blow to the other night against RCB. There is going to be a change of ball. Xavier Bartlett walks over to the umpires to check which ball is being picked. Another change of bat for Mitchell Marsh. Will this help Marsh get a move on, because the time is running out for LSG?

Good deception! Slows it up, does Vyshak, on a length outside off. Mitchell Marsh swings the bat to pull in January, but the ball arrives in December to beat him all ends up.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Rishabh Pant

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Rishabh Pant
WIDE! Short of a good length, down leg. Pant gets inside the line to pull it behind on the leg side, but misses.
Halfway done. Lucknow Super Giants are 102/1, needing 153 runs from 60 balls. The last couple of overs have been quiet, credit to the spot on defensive bowling on a belter of a pitch.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Rishabh Pant
Superb stuff from Vyshak. Mixed his pace, lines and lengths up all over and kept the batters guessing. He goes for just 8 runs and the required run rate has now climbed to 14.36. On the shorter side, on off. Pant shovels it to short fine leg and takes a quick single.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Mitchell Marsh
So far, so good from Vyshak. Vijaykumar gets it full enough to deny Marsh the leverage to get under it. Marsh can only hit this along the ground to long off and cross over.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Rishabh Pant
This is nice and tight, on top of off, on a back of a length. Rishabh is cramped for room and chops it through point for one.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Mitchell Marsh
Missed out! Vyshak looks for the yorker but gets it wrong. Marsh swings at it but mishits the low full toss to long off. Just a single.
Change of bat for Marsh. Looks like the previous one took a bad hit on the bottom. He gets it exchanged and is good to continue.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Mitchell Marsh
SIX! Marsh absolutely picked the bones out of it. Chahal offers flight, full and wide on off. Mitchell is made to reach out and he nails the slog sweep. Hits it flat and wide of deep mid-wicket for a six.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Rishabh Pant
Not in control but safe! Flat and this is shorter, on leg. Pant crouches for the half-pull but he fails to ride the bounce. It balloons off the glove and drops in front of short fine leg. They sneak in a quick single.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Rishabh Pant
Floated up by Chahal, full and on middle. Rishabh sinks to a knee and shapes up for the slog sweep. He is beaten in the air but goes through with the shot. Hits it between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg for a couple.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Rishabh Pant

Yuzvendra Chahal To Mitchell Marsh
Drops it short, on off, does not rise much. Marsh flat bats it down to long on for a single. Chahal got away with one here, as this was a half-tracker.
7 overs done, and only 1 run separates both teams at the moment. PBKS were 77/1 at the same stage. And here comes Yuzvendra Chahal into the attack, replacing Vijaykumar Vyshak.

Marco Jansen To Rishabh Pant
SIX MORE! This is even bigger! Jansen drags his length back a bit, on middle. A Rishabh Pant special as he charges down the track and goes through the line of the ball. The top hand comes off the bat handle, but it does not matter. Rishabh parks it towards the sight screen for half a dozen more.

Marco Jansen To Rishabh Pant
Pant is greeted with a bumper. Around the left shoulder, Rishabh swivels nicely and gets his hands high to control the pull down to deep fine leg. Pant is off the mark with a single.

Marco Jansen To Mitchell Marsh
Jansen steams in from around the wicket and tucks the Aussie up for room with a hard-length delivery. Marsh swings away for the pull and one hand comes off the bat handle. It goes behind square leg for a single.
STRATEGIC BREAK! Disappointment for Badoni, but after playing a breezy knock and giving LSG a positive start in a mountainous run chase. The pitch is a belter, no doubt about that, and Marsh has settled in nicely at the other end. LSG will need him to dig in and go deep from here if they want to take this close. It will be interesting to see how they go about it when the likes of Chahal come into the attack in that middle phase. No Markram yet, as Rishabh Pant, the skipper, walks in at number 3. He is in search of runs as well, and it's a perfect opportunity for the captain to lead from the front. Marco Jansen (1-0-10-0) to continue after the break.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Ayush Badoni OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Vijaykumar Vyshak ends the Powerplay for his side in the best possible fashion. Seam-up ball, on a length, outside off. Badoni stands with an open stance and swings hard at it. He loses his shape in the process and miscues it off the inner half. Spoons it to mid-wicket, where Xavier Bartlett takes a few steps to his left and completes the catch at shoulder height. At the end of 6 overs, LSG are 61/1, chasing 255.

Marsh sees it late, yanks his front leg out of the way and nutmegs himself, but somehow gets the bat down in time to squeeze it out. An inside edge is found and the ball races away to the deep fine leg fence.

A big, confident appeal for LBW, but the umpire reckons it is not straight enough and shakes his head. After a long discussion with the keeper and the bowler, Shreyas Iyer opts not to go for a review. A banana swing back into the batter, on a fuller length, possibly sliding down leg as well. Ayush Badoni plays all over it and seems to have got an inside edge back on the pads. And indeed, the UltraEdge later shows that the ball grazed the inside edge.
