That is so in SOME cases this edition. However the batting has evolved. The power hitting and shot making is of the kind you haven't seen in cricket as recent as 7 years ago. Pointing made the point a few days ago that power dominated batting will win this year's IPL.

IPL has become fantasy cricket, a team made in excess of 262 run and still lose the match by 8 wickets, just crazy, 40 sixes in the match.

That was the best 6-and-out inning I've ever seen ... from Hope.

3.3
W Arora to Hope, OUT
Cleans him up with an absolute peach! Back of a length delivery that pitches on off and seems destined to come in. Until it doesn't. Nips away against the angle after hitting the seam and Hope is opened up like a deck chair. Tries to fence it away but sees the ball thud into the top of off stump. DC under early strife!

Shai Hope b Arora 6 (3b 0x4 1x6) SR: 200
3.2 6
Arora to Hope, SIX runs
Off the mark in style! Sharp bumper on middle and off. Hope gets into a tangle initially but keeps his eyes on the ball. Gets up and under, and hooks it over fine leg!

Seriously, that SIX was masterful.

That was a good decision to bring DreRuss into the attack for the last over. Now there just might be enough runs on the board to support another Narine ton.

Kings have won, CSK need to win pretty much all of their matches to ensure a spot in the next round.

That extra cover drive by young Jaiswal to get to his 50 was so Shiv-like.

10.1 4 Shahbaz Ahmed to Jaiswal, FOUR runs
Long-hop, well outside off. Jaiswal reaches out for it and muscles it past extra cover. The sweeper had no chance either. A 30-ball fifty for Jaiswal!
