Hello and welcome!

The Mohali stadium road would be buzzing by now, lined on either side by KXIP jersey sellers and face painters. Glad there's a broad footpath sandwiching the road on both sides, allowing a freeway for VIP vehicles trying to wade through the thousands of walkers. Sunrisers Hyderabad might not evoke the kind of crowd support - on the road or inside the stadium - like Mumbai or Delhi did but their playing jersey would contrast nicely to Punjab's red. How their game plans do is yet to be seen.

The middle-order meltdown against Mumbai Indians was an accident waiting to happen for SRH. How they respond in terms of team changes and performance on a much flatter deck will make for an interesting watch.
