Ashutosh Sharma will forever remain indebted to his former franchise Punjab Kings' skipper Shikhar Dhawan, whose "life lessons" will stay with him 'forever". The 26-year-old played a sensational unbeaten innings of 66 off 31 balls, smashing five fours and five sixes to steer Delhi Capitals in a thrilling chase of 210 against Lucknow Super Giants despite being 65/5 at one stage.

"He (Dhawan) was very happy with my knock. He always tells me to stay down to earth and humble. He hasn't taught me much about skills, but his lessons on life, mindset, and approach to the game have changed my life
Mahela Jayawardene was delighted with Vignesh Puthur's instant success but the Mumbai Indians head coach said the left-arm wrist spinner need to keep his feet on the ground and start from ball one again in the next IPL match against Gujarat Titans here on Saturday. Vignesh (3/32) scalped three wickets against Chennai Super Kings in his Indian Premier League debut a few days ago to hog the limelight.

It's a learning process. He needs to start from ball one again and he understands that and we're just building for that, he added. Jayawardene said Vignesh was always in the scheme of things once he
Gujarat Titans' assistant coach Parthiv Patel on Friday said the lack of "fear factor" in batters has resulted in raising the Power Play score "benchmark" in the Indian Premier League. Recalling that 45 was the ideal Power Play score for IPL teams during his playing days, the former India wicketkeeper-batter Patel said sidearm throw specialists have also helped the batters adjust to the pace. There is no doubt about that. That planning has gone (high). I mean, in the first year when I started opening, our thinking was (to score) 45 runs; if we get 45 for one, it will be a good power play (score), Patel told the media here ahead of GT's clash against Mumbai Indians on Saturday. Then it went on to become 50, (then) 55, (then) 60. Having said that, we still have to look at the conditions. If you're playing in Chennai, 150 was good enough. That's why you don't expect a team to score 70, 80 (in Power Plays)," he added. He said the desired mark in Power Plays has now been moved up. But
