Liam Livingstone has pulled out of the IPL, because of "bubble fatigue" He has toured South Africa & India with England this winter & played in Australia's Big Bash. His team Rajasthan Royals said they understand & respect his decision. & offer him support.

^ What the heck is “bubble fatigue” ? He’s been with more people in those bubbles than I’ve seen in 13 months! Oh wait he plays for Lancashire so I suppose he’s missing the rain.

^^ I think it becomes more of an issue when you don't make the starting XI that often.

Chennai beat Kolkata by 18 runs

Great knock by FAF, which deserved a century. Punjab Kings had to get off to a fast start, but looked out of it at 5-31 with only 4 balls left in the Powerplay. At that point only one man could rescue the lost cause, Dre Russ. with 54 from 22 balls, he found support from Dinesh Kartik, & when Russell was dismissed, they had taken the score to 112, Sam Curran celebrated his wicket, as he looked on course to take them over the line. With the run rate close to 15 run an over it looked like KKR had the game back in their hands, but Currans delight after Russell's wicket turned to despair as his 3rd over, the 16th of the innings, went for 30, as Cummins hit 4 sixes & a four, the game was back in the balance. Curran returned to bowl the 19th & when his 2nd ball went for six, it left 22 runs required from 1o balls, he then showed great resolve, with only 2 runs from the remaining 4 deliveries, including a run out, Cummins was running out of partners & was turning singles down, in order the keep the strike. That left 20 required from the last, the match ended with Prasidh run out off the first ball, as Cummins tried to retain the strike. Great game which had everything, including a couple of stunning catches from Morgan & Jadeja.
