In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu review the recent IPL 2024 games between LSG and RCB, and KKR v Delhi Capitals.
Recorded on 4 April 2024, we start by discussing Kolkata's huge win against Delhi:
Are we about to live in a world where scores of 270 in a T20 become the norm?
Sunil Narine's boundary-fest at the top of the order
Angkrish Raghuvanshi's first IPL innings and the fearlessness of young players
Plus Andre Russell, Mitchell Starc, Rishabh Pant and more!
In the second half of the show we look back at the Lucknow Super Giants' comfortable win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
How fun is it to watch this Mayank Yadav story unfold?!
How much trouble are RCB in?
Will Cameron Green and Glenn Maxwell be able to produce the match-winning performances needed to stop this slide?
Plus Nicholas Pooran, Quinton de Kock, Reece Topley and other storylines from this fascinating game.
