Languishing at the bottom of the table and coming off the lowest ever IPL total in history – two records the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) would not be very proud of.

Having had a dream test tour of India as a batsman, Steve Smith is set to become the first person to replace MS Dhoni as full-time captain of an IPL team in ten seasons.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced the dates for the 2017 edition of the Indian Premier League tournament.

On February 20, 2017, people from all over the world were glued to their screens to find out the results of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction.

Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Umesh Yadav and Andre Russell – four big names that are going to be missing from a contest between two of the better balanced sides of the tournament. While Russell is serving a doping ban, the other three are recovering from injuries.

After their opening match in which captain Zaheer Khan believed they did most things right, the Delhi Daredevils followed up with an absolute annihilation of the Rising Pune Supergiant in their second game of the season.

Dealt with a major blow in the form of injury to Chris Lynn, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) face a tough task against a rejuvenated and in form Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). The challenge for Punjab will be to carry on their winning streak away from home as both their wins have come at the Holkar stadium in Indore.

For recording scores of 104 and 65 for his franchise Kings XI Punjab in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League, South Africa batsman Hashim Amla is the Cricket World Player of the Week.

Two teams that have been heavily affected by injuries are all set to take on each other at a venue which has never been a happy hunting ground for bowlers. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be looking to bounce back from their loss in their first game which saw them concede 207 runs.

A new captain, a new home venue and hopefully a change in fortunes. That is what the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) will be hoping when they take on the Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) in the first day game of the season.

Two teams languishing at the bottom of the table will be looking to get back to winning ways as they are bolstered by the return of key players. Steve Smith is all set to come back for the Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) while Ravindra Jadeja returns for the Gujarat Lions (GL).

Last match they saw their superhero return to action. For this match, their captain fantastic returns. That gives the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans every reason to believe that their actual IPL season kick starts today.

The 2017 IPL will probably be remembered for the what the Key Players achieved or failed to achieve during the most famous T20 tournament in the World.

As match previews go, the first game of any tournament is notoriously difficult to predict and the opening one of the 2017 Indian Premier League is no exception.
