Their team bonding, captaincy, vacuum, losing-winning etc were not the point of my post tho.

My motive was to point out the Sanju's consistency with the bat and his spot in the T-20 WC squad. Considering what's happening with the Mumbai Indian (Ishan +Sky poor form)

Be careful when you associate the word "consistency" with Sanju Samson. I agree that he has scored runs recently. But from what I have observed in the past, his good patch lasts only for 4-5 matches and after that he will suffer from a lack of form for the next 4-5 matches. The again his good patch will reappear. This is a never-ending cycle for Samson. And regarding Mumbai Indians, it is not right to blame everything on Ishan and SKY. What about the Pandya sisters? They are also not contributing anything to the team.
I'm looking at everything in context of T-20 WC, that's where form comes into play. Krunal Pandya is not part of the WC squad so i don't really care about his performance for his franchise. Hardik's Form with the bat is one of the major concern and he's not bowling at all, which indicate that he's not fit to ball or team (MI) is not showing enough confidence on his bowling but we have Shardul Thakur in reserve for that, if Hardik continues to fail. Thakur is not explosive batsman as Hardik but he seems better 3rd seamer for the team (Bowling allrounder).

@JSRAW Hardik is fit and they’re trying to keep him in better shape for the T20 World Cup, and that makes sense because he’s a valuable player for the Indian team. Also your analysis of Sanju Samson is spot on, and I don’t believe he’ll be called for the World Cup unless someone gets injured.

Our thick boy Sanju leading the table with 1 ton + 2 50's and averaging 54, strike rate is also very impressive in this season. Lots of debate on his consistency for a quite some time, ofc for a right reason because he wasted many chances to prove himself. But i'm sure selectors and Virat are also noticing his recent numbers, if by any chance he manage to get Orange Cap then it would be tough to ignore him for T-20 WC Squad. Wild Card Entry looks possible to me.

The problem is that most of the time Samson scores a half century, his team ends up on the losing side. His captaincy is very poor. Last year, Steve Smith's captaincy worked well for RR, but poor form with the bat meant that he was kicked out of the squad. Samson has so far failed to fill the vacuum. RR currently has very weak team bonding and this is evident from their poor performance despite the presence of so many good players. And on top of that, the pullout of English players had a serious impact on them. No other franchise was affected due to the pullout more than RR.

Today we have an interesting match between KKR and DC. While on paper DC is a better team than KKR but recent matches prove that KKR can give them a good fight. On the point table, DC is ranked second and KKR fourth. It seems few wins have pushed KKR to the top spot. In my opinion, I will put my money still on DC because I think they will be able to defeat KKR without any issue.

DC is more likely to win today's match, because KKR is weakened by the absence of Pat Cummins. On the other hand, although Marcus Stoinis is injured, it hasn't had an impact on the fortunes of DC. For DC, now all of their top-order and middle order batsmen seems to be in good form (Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw). I would like to see Steve Smith playing a few games for DC, but right now the others are playing so well that it is difficult to find a spot for him in the playing XI.

A good match where RR scored 164 and SRH were able to get that score in just 18.3 overs. Jason Roy from SRH scored 60 runs and was awarded player of the match. From RR Sanju Samson was the highest scorer. Overall it was the batsmen who won the match for SRH.
Finally a match where the Sunrisers Hyderabad top order clicked and they were able to win the match. Rajasthan Royals was able to put a good score on the board and Sanju Samson played yet another great innings as a captain but the last over Sunrisers Hyderabad bowled was a good one, if not they would have scored more than the total they set.

Today we have Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals. Will be interesting to see whether SRH will be able to put up a fight. And RR will be charged up, after their magnificent last-ball victory against Punjab Kings (thanks to Kartik Tyagi). SRH just have 2 point so far, and they are in for their worst season. RR is not in a much better position, as they are placed at 6th position with 8 points. They need to win at least 4 of their remaining 5 matches to qualify for the playoff stage. Right now, four teams have 8 points each - RR, KKR, Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians.
Batting Department Sunrise Hyderabad Rajasthan Royals Both the teams are quite good. In this case, some players of Sunrise Hyderabad have done a great job in this match. Jason Roy Its great innings of 60 runs has played an important role in changing the fate of the match.
Both teams have some class players those have ability to change match situation very quickly specially SRH is really better team, but sadly they fail to give any impression after restart of this IPL UAE conditions may be taken time as in first three matches they were completely outclass and now when they already out of play-offs they're done very good job Rajasthan Royals have some chances but now its very crucial time for all teams they need to lead from front if they want place in next round.

Right now, SRH is approaching 50 runs without a wicket which means they might have found a solution for their opening pairs by resting Warner and giving a chance to Jason Roy.
Today we have flawless batting from SRH batting line-up Roy Saha and Williamson all done their job for win cause even it is not going to help them but still its very good fight back, and they are doing good job for stopping Rajasthan Royals for play-offs race as today's lost is really going to hurt them now they need some very good form in next few matches as still 3 more teams are fighting hard for play-offs race just 2 teams are ready for top spots but other 5 have equal chance for touch remaining spots hopefully we will have some very entertaining end of this season with some good and exciting matches.

After winning the toss and electing to bat it is good score from them but in last few overs SRH done very good job and contain them which was good because as they were playing I was feeling they can touch around 185 to 190 but B Kumar and Kaul both was really on good spirit even their performance is not good in this season 164/5 is still good score, and I am feeling SRH will face some serious trouble because their batting line-up is not doing good.

Right now, SRH is approaching 50 runs without a wicket which means they might have found a solution for their opening pairs by resting Warner and giving a chance to Jason Roy.

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
Both Chennai and Delhi are in great form now. Looking at the performances of all the teams so far, it seems that one of these two teams will win the trophy. But in IPL we see a lot of miracles. I will not be surprised if I see Kolkata win the title till the end. Because IPL matches are very unpredictable.
I would place Delhi Capitals ahead of CSK. At the third position I would put RCB and KKR at the 4th position. Other four franchises don't have a real chance. Delhi looks like the most balanced team right now. They have the best bowling and batting lineup and the optimal mix of Indian and overseas players. CSK is also looking good, but they are heavily dependent on the top order for batting. Their middle order is not that strong (apart from Jadeja). Dhoni is playing well, at least when compared to the 2020 season, but he is still far below his peak form.

I think Delhi is the most balanced team. Both their batter and bowler are in good form. And they dominate in almost every match. They have won two remarkable matches against RR and SRH in the previous two matches. Winning against a team without collapsing their batting lineup is a challenge for any team. On the other hand, KKR's performance seems to me the most unpredictable. If they play well in one match, they will perform poorly in the next match. There is no continuity.

Right now, it looks as if Chennai Super Kings has the maximum chances to win the trophy, followed by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. With limited number of matches remaining in this edition, I don't expect a major change for the other franchises.

Look like the UAE is not going good for them as here in last three matches they lost badly and now at bottom with SRH which is not good as already you mention they have some world-class players under their belt, but they all completely fail here which is big mystery.

After start of this new session CSK and Delhi Capitals both are enjoying with all wins but Mumbai Indians and SRH in complete dumb situation Punjab have first win under their belt after 2 loses, but Mumbai still need some magic.

Mumbai is in pathetic form for this season. SRH was never in the race, as their overseas players (Rashid, Williamson, Warner and Holder) are not in good form. They have a second string Indian lineup, so they were always heavily dependent on the overseas players. Right now, it looks as if Chennai Super Kings has the maximum chances to win the trophy, followed by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. With limited number of matches remaining in this edition, I don't expect a major change for the other franchises.

CSK won the match in the last ball and i watched the highlights and it was a good one and they are at the top of the points table and i am surprised to see that MI are struggling to win matches or even pose a challenge against RCB.
Today's match was just a disaster for Mumbai Indians. No one really expected RCB to win by such a big margin (54 runs). Mumbai Indians have some of the best T20 players in their squad - Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Kieron Pollard.etc. If you take the list of top-10 players in T20 cricket, all of these players will get included in that list. But they have performed horribly so far in this season (apart from Bumrah). Boult and Milne have been inconsistent, while Rohit and de Kock are getting no support from SKY and Ishan Kishan.
