Rohit&nbsp;Sharma carried on and scored a swift half century and is unbeaten on 57. He though lost Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;towards the end of the day as he fell for 27. Though India ended day 1 at 99/3, they trail England by just 13 runs.

After a demoralising defeat in the first outing,&nbsp;Chennai Super Kings will look to bring their campaign on track as they take on a motivated Punjab Kings in Mumbai on Friday.

Punjab too are sailing in a similar boat. Despite posting 221 against Rajasthan, they won the game just by 4 runs. Moreover, CSK enjoy a 15-9 head-to-head record vs Punjab and even beat them the last time these 2 sides locked horns.&nbsp;

Mumbai Indians' skipper Rohit Sharma whose team is all set to face Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday evening, feels that he needs to a lot of maintenance

Mumbai&nbsp;Indians' skipper Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;feels that he needs to a lot of maintenance work on himself.

His injury forced him to miss some parts of IPL&nbsp;and some matches of the Australian tour. The skipper said that there's a lot of maintenance&nbsp;work that he has to keep doing just to maintain his lower body and hamstring.&nbsp;

Despite playing his debut match, Chetan Sakariya proved to Rajasthan Royals how clinical he would be especially in Jofra Archer's absence

It was his&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;debut but&nbsp;Chetan&nbsp;Sakariya&nbsp;played like a veteran for&nbsp;Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals in their first game vs Punjab Kings. The 23-year-old who knocked out 3 important wickets for his side, has a tragic&nbsp;story of successfully making it through the troubled waters.&nbsp; In his interview with ESPNcricinfo, Sakariya, the left-arm swing bowler who hails from&nbsp;Rajkot, revealed&nbsp;that he lost his younger brother 2 weeks before getting picked in the 2021&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;auctions.&nbsp; Sakariya&nbsp;who was picked by Rajasthan&nbsp;for 1.2 cr comes from a humble background. Even before chances came to him, the self-taught&nbsp;Gujarat&nbsp;boy has been&nbsp;the lone breadwinner of his family as his father was forced to shut down his tempo business due to ill health. Due to his poor financial condition, Sakariya told ESPNcricinfo that he did not even have enough money to buy boots for himself. However, Sheldon Jackson came to his rescue as he gifted him his first pair of boots after he had dismissed him in the nets.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; IPL&nbsp;gave a platform to the young talent, who&nbsp;got&nbsp;noticed after he picked 12 wickets in 5 Syed Mushtaq&nbsp;Ali T20 matches at an economy of 4.90.

Although&nbsp;Sanju&nbsp;Samson's scintillating ton could not help Rajasthan Royals as they lost their first match of the season vs Punjab Kings, the debutant&nbsp;captain still feels that the second part of his innings was the best he ever played. The 26-year-old scored a sparkling 119 in 63 balls while chasing a daunting target of 222 set by Punjab, who won the 4th IPL match by mere 4 runs. Samson who hit 12 fours and 7 sixes said that he was not timing his shots well in the first half, but by the second half, he was into his rhythm as he started to play his shots. Though Samson's dismissal came in a heartbreaking manner in the final over, he said that he could not have done better than that and that his team played well.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Axar Patel took a 5-wicket-haul as England were bowled out for 112 in their 1st innings. The 4-match Test series is locked at 1-1.
