Week 1 Highlights
Punjab Kings — The Team to Beat
Under Shreyas Iyer's captaincy, PBKS have been clinical. Wins over GT and CSK show their all-round strength. Cooper Connolly has been the standout performer with the bat.
RCB Win Season Opener
Defending champions RCB started strong with Virat Kohli smashing an unbeaten 69 to chase down SRH's 202 at Chinnaswamy. Devdutt Padikkal also contributed 61.
SRH Demolish KKR
Sunrisers Hyderabad bounced back from their opening loss to RCB by thrashing KKR by 65 runs — the biggest margin of victory so far this season.
CSK Struggling
Chennai Super Kings have lost both their matches. Injury concerns with key bowlers and an aging squad are worrying signs for MS Dhoni's team.
