  2. KL Rahul (91*) becomes the first batsman to score four 50 sin this IPL. He also takes the Orange cap from Shikhar Dhawan. The cap has been swapped among three players already this week (Dhawan – du Plessis– Rahul). This is also the second instance he has exactly scored 91 in this IPL.
  3. Nicolas Pooran scored his fifth duck in his IPL career and his fourth in this IPL alone. He joins in an unwanted list with Sunil Narine (of Kolkata Knight Riders) of batsman to have scored three or more ducks in this IPL.
  4. Deepak Hooda ever since he scored the fastest fifty early in this IPL edition (now second fastest) has scored just 51 runs in his following 5 innings.
  5. Harshal Patel’s wicket taking streak comes to a halt after 5 consecutive games. Now wait and watch game on who can take the lead from him for the Purple cap.
