After a horrible IPL season last year with Delhi Capitals, Prithvi&nbsp;Shaw's career took a nose dive after he was dropped from India's Test team in Australia. While most wrote him off, Shaw fought back hard and smashed an incredible 827 runs in a single edition of the Vijay&nbsp;Hazare&nbsp;Trophy. The Mumbai&nbsp;lad carried that form to IPL&nbsp;and decimated the Chennai Super Kings with a stunning 72 off 38 balls laced with 9 fours and 3 sixes. Shaw explained how he got back in rhythm and scoring runs. He said, "I just wanted to minimize all the mistakes I was making, and I worked hard. I practised for two weeks with Strength &amp; Conditioning Coach Rajinikanth Sivagnanam sir&nbsp;and Pravin Amre sir before the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Then I just played my natural game with a few changes in the Vijay Hazare Trophy."

After Chennai Super Kings registered a 7 wicket loss in their first match of the 2021 IPL season against Delhi Capitals, skipper MS Dhoni&nbsp;criticised the shortcomings of the team's bowling side. Calling out the execution by the CSK&nbsp;bowlers, Dhoni&nbsp;said, 'We could have done slightly better, If the batters are hitting you over your field and whatever plans you have set. I feel that's fair enough but there were quite a few deliveries where you are not really looking to bowl.' Dwayne Bravo was the only player to make things a little easy for the yellow army. Apart from that Sam Curran, Moeen Ali Deepak Chahar&nbsp;proved very expensive for the team. Shardul&nbsp;Thakur&nbsp;alone gave away over 50 runs in 3.4 overs.&nbsp;

Super Sunday in IPL&nbsp;2021 will see Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders take on the Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad in Chennai. The 2016 winners will be hoping for a strong start to the series after they reached the playoffs last season and finished 3rd. Interestingly, the Sunrisers&nbsp;are one of the most consistent teams in IPL&nbsp;having reached the playoffs in 6 of the 8 seasons they've&nbsp;been part of the IPL.&nbsp;The Knight Riders on the other hand are two-time IPL&nbsp;champions but somewhere lost their way in the last two seasons and missed the playoffs berth. With Eoin&nbsp;Morgan getting the charge for the entire season, much is expected from the English captain as the KKR&nbsp;top-order looks unconvincing on paper. The two teams have played each other 19 times in IPL&nbsp;with KKR&nbsp;having an upper hand with 12 wins.&nbsp;

Chasing which, Delhi openers went berserk. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan toyed with Chennai bowlers and smashed a half-century each. Though both departed but the job was already done.

In 13 matches for Kings XI Punjab last season, Glenn Maxwell flopped miserably. He scored just 108 runs with no fifties, no sixes, a boring average of 15 and a strike rate of just over 100. Royal Challengers Bangalore showed faith in the Australian after Kings XI Punjab offloaded him before the auction. To adjust the 32-year-old, Captain Virat&nbsp;Kohli made changes to the batting order and pushed AB de Villiers&nbsp;down to free up some space for the destructive Australian smasher. The gamble paid off as Maxwell came out all guns blazing and smashed&nbsp;39 runs off 28 balls laced with 3 fours and 2 sixes. The innings might have been cut short early, but Maxwell reminded his fans that he is in top form, making the RCB&nbsp;management quite happy after splurging Rs 14.25 crore&nbsp;on him.&nbsp;

Harshal Patel bamboozled them with 5/27, first player to take a 5-wicket-haul vs MI. Chasing which,&nbsp;RCB had a decent start but were reduced to 122/6. AB de Villiers then did what he does best and&nbsp;courtesy his 27-ball-48, RCB crossed the finish line on the last ball.
