Moments That Turned The Tables
The small moments in life provide the biggest joy.
This common saying applies to the IPL and cricket in general as well.
The small moments, running the twos and threes, the catches, diving saves, and the direct hits, these narrow margins tilt the games.

Recap
In the first week of IPL 2020, we witnessed several close games, Tewatia’s magic, and the Indian youngsters on the show. Some said this is the closest IPL ever?
What followed in the next couple of weeks was a thoroughly one-sided tournament.
It seemed that Delhi Capitals were running away with from the rest of the table, and Mumbai Indians were back at their best. RCB were playing….consistently well and even an underperforming KKR were snatching victories out of jaws of defeat.
Where are we now? Two days to go in the league stague, and the points table look something like this. Mumbai Indians are the only team to seal qualification, while CSK are the only team officially out…barely.
On the other hand, RCB at #2 can still fail to make it and KKR at #7 are still alive.
