Gaikwad Back in Top Form
Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad returned to form with a century against Lucknow Super Giants. The knock, though in a losing effort, is a positive sign for CSK as Gaikwad shoulders the captaincy alongside his batting duties.

Patel Turns Season Around
Harshal Patel, despite a slow start, has become the third-highest wicket-taker in a struggling Punjab Kings team.
