Rayo Vallecano are finally in a position to dream of La Liga survival. Photograph: Javier Etxezarreta/EPA In the middle of Rayo Vallecano's dark days, when they'd been beaten 15 times in 20 games and the goals were flying in; when they'd let in five from Atlético Madrid, five from Málaga, five from Villarreal, four from Espanyol, four from Sevilla, four from Barcelona, three from Madrid, three from Osasuna, and three from Valladolid; when they plummeted to 19th and stayed there for 11 long weeks; when the only reason they didn't fall further was that Betis were even worse; when even a glimmer of hope, a 4-1 win over Málaga, immediately gave way to a six-goal hammering; and when relegation wasn't an "if" but a "when"; there was a phrase that got repeated over and over: Paco Jémez will die with his ideas. Paco Jémez, though, had other ideas. Not because Rayo's coach was going to back down on his principles - "any club that signs me knows what it's getting," he insisted - but because he didn't have any intention of dying at all. Even when Rayo were a disaster, Jémez had his defenders. Off the pitch, that is. Last season, only two teams in Europe had the ball more than Rayo did: Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Early this season, when Rayo played Barcelona, they had more possession than them, the first team to manage it in 316 games. They threw men into attack, they were fun to watch, and parading the touchline in a dizzying array of multicoloured elbow patches and waistcoats, pink shirts and purple ties, Jémez urged them forward, always. In a country that values the aesthetic, or in which some do, he was eulogised for the way his teams played de tú a tú: as equals. Rayo didn't simply defend - sometimes they didn't defend at all - but instead they went for it. And, mostly, they lost. Rayo took the ball off Barcelona and Jémez declared himself "very proud". But they were beaten 4-0. They went to the Camp Nou where they were praised by Barcelona's

After playing a blinder in the previous game against the KXIP, MS Dhoni will look to replicate his batting form, although, he'd like to see his team through this time. If it were not for a sore back, Dhoni would have easily finished the game for CSK. The men in yellow move to their new home, Pune, courtesy a few political reasons. However, Dhoni is familiar with the conditions at Pune and against a pale looking Rajasthan, he'll certainly fancy his chances. Match number 17 of the IPL, CSK vs RR will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.

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.

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.
