It was a blockbuster Sunday in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians registered thrilling victories to turn the tide of the season. While PBKS stunned Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their den to chase down 201 runs off the last ball, the five-time champions also gunned down the fourth-highest successful chase ever in the history of IPL to beat the Rajasthan Royals.
These two wins have certainly shaken up the points table with the Punjab Kings reaching 10 points while MI also have 8 points now after nine matches. The Shikhar Dhawan-led side is now at the fifth place while CSK remain at the fourth position despite the loss. MI were at the ninth position before yesterday’s match but are now in the 7th place after the crucial win. GT, LSG, RR and CSK are the top four teams at the moment but there is not much to differentiate between other teams too.
