In this episode of the show, Baldy, Binksy, Raj and Stu look back at another week that was in IPL 2024.
Recorded on 15 April, we review all 10 teams, awarding the turquoise cap and handing out the power rankings along the way.
- Is the biggest threat to the Rajasthan Royals actually the Rajasthan Royals?
- Will the Kolkata Knight Riders ever slow down?
- Can the Chennai Super Kings get even more from MS Dhoni?
- Are the Sunrisers Hyderabad batters struggling?
- Can Shubman Gill carry the Gujarat Titans to the playoffs?
- Are the Lucknow Super Giants slumping?
- Why is the Mumbai Indians' bowling so bad when Jasprit Bumrah is so good?
- Are the Delhi Capitals the scariest team in the bottom half of the ladder?
- Will a Punjab Kings game ever finish outside of the final over?
- Has Faf du Plessis given up on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowling attack?
- And much more!

Surprised by Daryll Mitchell's form, but it would only be fitting if he suddenly came good in the playoffs in typical CSK fashion.

Yeah I wouldn’t say he’s been bad but he hasn’t really popped as yet. He often hasn’t had much to do with Dube or Gaikwad or Rachin doing the heavy lifting. Just little innings here and there. Hopefully it’ll happen for him soon as he’s very fun to watch when he gets going.

@@thetoporderpodcastI would disagree and say he has had a lot of work to do in which he failed mostly. Scoring around a SR of 100-120 in death overs is criminal when rizwi, jadeja and Dhoni are on the bench. Either he has to be benched or moved up the order, 5 doesn’t seem like a good position for him as of now

Yes we don’t always get it right but that game played out very close to how we predicted (although 549 total runs was still a surprise!!!)

What a week for CSK - that first MS Dhoni six must have been a contender for the turquoise cap as well!

You feel confident about Mumbai? A bit of ground to make up on the current top 4, although obviously a powerful batting lineup.

Well SRH Batters Have Smashed RCB after your recording

Yes we don’t get all our predictions right but we did okay with that game. Smashed is an understatement!

Thanks for confirming. Hopefully for RR he’ll be available again soon because he’s been a lot of fun to watch so far.

@@thetoporderpodcast Yes. During KKR Innings Sangakkara told the host that Burger and Sandeep will be available for the next match. It's a long tournament and seeing their play off spot they may be want to keep them for those crucial games. Boult and Buttler may leave earlier for the WC
