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."

CSK's&nbsp;Suresh&nbsp;Raina&nbsp;who did not play the 13th edition of the IPL&nbsp;due to personal reasons&nbsp;made a dashing comeback in this year's competition. The batsman proved his mettle in the first CSK&nbsp;match itself when he scored a&nbsp;quick half-century against Delhi on Saturday evening. Raina's&nbsp;36-ball-54 run helped a drowning&nbsp;CSK&nbsp;post a decent target of 188 runs. Raina&nbsp;who missed the entire IPL&nbsp;13, which was also&nbsp;CSK's&nbsp;worst performance, still stands as the 2nd most successful batsman in the tournament's history with&nbsp;5,442 runs in 194 matches after Virat&nbsp;Kohli.&nbsp;

Delhi Capitals'&nbsp;Rishabh&nbsp;Pant who debuted as side's&nbsp; skipper in Saturday's IPL match&nbsp;was more than happy to not only win in the match but also to have done it against his 'go-to-man' MS Dhoni.&nbsp; The young skipper's team recorded an easy 7-wicket win against Chennai&nbsp;Super Kings in the 2nd match of the 14th edition of the cash-rich league.

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;

Delhi Capitals thrashed CSK by 7 wickets to register their 3rd consecutive win over MS Dhoni's men.

Suresh Raina proved that he has still got it as he returned with a bang. Mr. IPL smashed a half-century, but it was Sam Curran's fiery 15-ball-34 that helped CSK finish at 188/7. 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. Delhi won with 8 balls to spare and registered&nbsp;their 3rd consecutive win over CSK.

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;

Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Rohit Sharma's men by 2 wickets and kicked off their campaign with a bang. Put into bat, Mumbai Indians were restricted to 159/9. 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.
