Bumrah is another bowler with a totally bizarre but somehow effective action. Horrible to watch.

KKR put a decent score on the board but their bowlers are taking a pasting

First home game for KKR and the daughter today against her ‘home’ team of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bigger ground for this one too with 68000 capacity whereas Mumbai was only 33000 but as I like to tell her, it’s still less than the Pricipality where I’ve performed 😂. After watching on Sunday the wife has decided she likes T20 cricket and is looking forward to watching!

KKR got taken apart in the powerplay, going for 14 an over with Head and Abhishek but responded well. Chasing 227 for the win so still challenging but hopefully will make for an interesting chase.

IPL bowler's graveyard!

They’re making hard work of the chase despite taking 25 off the first over. Allen hit 28 off 7 balls. Some comedy fielding in the 9th over helped a bit but they need to start hitting more boundaries

Bad start again for KKR today. Bartlett’s first over for Punjab was one of the best I’ve seen in T20 cricket and showed you can still have success bowling with traditional line and length as a seamer in this form. Took two wickets caught behind, conceded a boundary to an edge that would have gone straight to the hands of the slip / short third man the previous ball before he was moved and had the KKR batsmen play and miss most of the others. Fortunately for KKR the rain has come and they’ll probably be hoping it stays!
