We are joined by Dan Weston (and a special extra guest) to round up the first week's goings on in the IPL. Two in two for RCB has got them going, but early favourites somehow managed to lose to Lucknow! Meanwhile Shreyas Iyer's PBKS looked the business, and Rajasthan are also two from two, just not the right way around.

Who excited us, who disappointed us, and what did we make of week 1?

The IPL is underway and we start our reviews with a look at the first three games. On Saturday, RCB swept aside the champions to make a statement, and on Sunday Ishan Kishan blitzed a century as Sunrisers put on another mammoth score. CSK rounded off the weekend with a fairly routine win over a Hardik Pandya-less Mumbai Indians, as Noor Ahmed starred with the ball!

On our next team preview we cover the play-off contenders from last year's Indian Premier League. Starting with RCB who feature the legend Virat Kohli in a new look side for the 2025 IPL. Will this finally be the year for Royal Challengers Bengaluru?

Rajasthan Royals are next. They made some big changes but retained Samason and Jaiswal, who are more than a match for anyone on their day.

Sunrisers Hyderabad were one of the funnest teams to watch in last year's IPL and it looks like the smashing will continue. They have only added to a team which featured Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen already.

And Kolkata Knight Riders, last years winners, will go again. They went big in the auction for Venky Iyer, will that pay off with another trophy for Dre Russ, Narine and the lads.
