It's not often that despite a win, the heart goes out to the losing side, but that's exactly what happened on Monday night. Punjab Kings avoided a scare as they beat Rajasthan Royals by 4 runs, that after Sanju Samson's 119-run knock went in vain. Put into bat, Punjab were powered to 221/6, courtesy KL Rahul's 50-ball-91. Chasing which the Royals were reduced to 70/3 with Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler back in the hut. That's when Samson got going and became the first ever player to mash a century on captaincy debut in IPL. His 3rd IPL ton though couldn't take his side over the finish line as he was dismissed off the last ball.&nbsp;Samson's 119 is the highest score in a losing cause in IPL.

Like every season when they've won a title, Mumbai Indians lost their opening game of IPL but the defending champions will now be focused to return to winning

Like every season when they've won a title, Mumbai Indians lost their opening game of IPL&nbsp;but the defending champions will now be focused&nbsp;to return to winning ways. Opener and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock is expected to return for Mumbai&nbsp;which will provide a slightly more stable Playing XI. A loss in the first game hasn't affected Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;who will also be looking to score some big runs for his team. The Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders on the other hand finished with a win in their opening game but that wasn't convincing enough by any standards. The middle-order looked brittle in the first game and along with Andre Russell's form, the Knight Riders are yet to fire all cylinders so far. With Mumbai&nbsp;being their Achilles' heel, KKR&nbsp;will be hoping to improve their head to head record as they have won only 6 games from 27 outings.&nbsp;

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."

As Rahul&nbsp;Dravid's&nbsp;alter ego 'Indiranagar ka gunda' continues to trend on social media, some police departments have decided to jump on the meme&nbsp;bandwagon.&nbsp;
Well... when a 'gunda' is loose can the police be far behind?&nbsp;
Sending out a message against road rage, Surat&nbsp;Police posted that whether it is Surat&nbsp;aur&nbsp;Indiranagar, 'gundagardi' is not welcome. Hooliganism looks good only in movies, not on roads, it added.
Nagpur&nbsp;Police decided to take on the menace&nbsp;of honking and posted 'Be it in "indiranagar" or anywhere. Keep your calm, avoid unnecessary honking.'
Last but not the least, the Mumbai&nbsp;Police, which is known for its witty messaging, used the viral Dravid&nbsp;ad to stress on the importance of wearing a mask as protection against Covid-19.&nbsp;

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;
