After having played 4 games each, the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Daredevils find themselves in a familiar part of the table once again. The silver lining, though, is that there is still a long way to go! It is not just the losses, but also the manner of losses that have been strikingly similar for the two franchises.

The Caribbean flamboyance can't be matched. For this fixture, we've got the likes of Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. All working in tandem. While it'll be a thrilling experience for the crowd, on the hind side though, the winner of KKR vs KXIP will decide who moves to the top of the table. KKR are currently 2nd on the table and KXIP after the introduction of Chris Gayle looks an arduous team to beat. The race to the top is on as the IPL brings to you yet another smashing game. The Eden Gardens will witness some explosive cricket. Will the Knights from Kolkata remain irremovable or the Kings of Punjab conquer the Eden?

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have slipped to the number 4 spot on the league table after getting beat by the KXIP. The 2016 champions won their first 3 games but were found wanting against Gayle's lethal onslaught. Bowling has been their major strength and against Punjab, the likes of Rashid Khan who seldom concedes runs was humbled by Chris Gayle's mighty hitting.

The RR vs MI game is a bottom half battle of the blues as Mumbai Indians travel to the Sawai Man Singh Stadium to take on Rajasthan Royals. Mumbai sit in 7th place with just 1 win from 4 games. However, it will be the Royals who will be more worried after losing their last two matches by big margins - 64 runs and 7 wickets. Mumbai, on the other hand, have the momentum having beaten RCB in their last encounter after losing 3 close games at the start of the tournament.

The IPL moves to the North after an enthralling weekend of cricketing action. Two teams who've been on either end of the league table are all set to lock horns. Delhi Daredevils are struggling at the bottom of the table with only 2 points in 5 games, while Kings XI have been in dreamland ever since the mighty Jamaican was included in their squad. They are placed 2nd on the table, only decimals away from the southern kings. Two new skippers, two brilliant students of the game and 2 massive points at stake. Moreso, for Kings XI who this year are certain to make it to the playoffs. It's DD vs KXIP, match number 22 at the Feroz Shah Kotla.

The last time Mumbai Indians lost their first three IPL games, they went on to win the league. However, this year the 3-time champions have had a bizarre run. They've lost 4 games out of 5 but, strangely enough, have a positive net run-rate. The men in blue are currently placed 7th as they take on SRH in the 23rd game of the Indian Premier League. SRH started off fluently but a hiccup seems to have distorted their path. They're now placed 4th on the league table. A win here will move them up one place or two based on the margin of victory. Can Mumbai do the unthinkable yet again or will Hyderabad pounce on Mumbai's finishing frailties? Here's our overview of MI vs SRH.

RCB vs CSK: There's always a scare that our desire for drama, an excess demand for redemptive narratives, leads us to neglect the remorselessly excellent. There isn't a sporting event that depicts drama more elaborately. IPL does that to an extreme normalcy. The stage is set, everything in readiness as RCB vs CSK will see two of India's greatest cricketers compete for a paltry 2 points.

Kings XI Punjab are one of the eight teams that were a part of the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League and are also one of the two teams that have not won the desired title. Their record over the years in the IPL hasn't been the greatest. The team from Punjab played the finals of the IPL only once, back in 2014. Kolkata Knight Riders got the better of them on that occasion and since then, they've finished last, twice(2015 & 2016) and 5th last year. Can the team from Punjab win the title this year? Let's glance at the Kings XI players from the 2018 IPL auctions and also at 5 key players for KXIP who can make a difference this year.

What happens when the 3-time champions take on what is probably the best bowling attack in the league? Well, a cracker of a game is assured. Mumbai Indians have this uncanny knack of starting slow and then kicking it off as the season progresses. They lost the first game to Bravo's brilliance and at Hyderabad, they'll have their work cut out. Hyderabad, on the other hand, produced a master class in their season opener. RR were outplayed in every department as the SRH drew a positive two off that game. So, it's Kane vs the Hitman. Sound's like a WrestleMania battle and probably is one battle of significant magnitude. For game 7 of the IPL, it's SRH vs MI.

TOP 10 FASTEST FIFTIES IN THE IPL: The Indian Premier League has been an absolute run fest. Mammoth scores have been put up by teams over the years, where the batsmen have thrown the kitchen sink to outmanoeuvre a side. There's no better sight in world cricket than to see the white kookaburra fly deep into the stands. When it comes off consistently batsmen end up scoring heaps of runs and at a canter. We here take a look at the top 10 fastest fifties in the IPL. Which one is your favourite?

A hundred in a T20 doesn't happen very often and to score the fastest hundred in the fastest format of the game, a batsman has to tonk the ball right from ball one. Numerous T20 leagues are being played around the world today and with the advent of outrageous strokes, a century in T20s wouldn't be as appalling. A total of 650 IPL games have been played so far and an individual score of 100 has been breached 47 times. Out of a possible 120 deliveries, the minimum balls required, that is, if a batsman hits a six every ball, would be 17 deliveries. How close have the batsmen come? Let's take a look at the 5 fastest hundreds in IPL.
