Total home team domination in IPL 17
Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the perennial favorites, have set the tone. Their fortress at Chepauk has witnessed two back-to-back wins, both resounding and dominant. Against the Gujarat Titans, CSK flexed their muscles, posting a formidable 206/6 in 20 overs. The young sensation Shivam Dube capitalized on the flying start provided by Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra, taking the GT bowlers to the sword. The result? A convincing 63-run victory for the Yellow Brigade.
The Rajasthan Royals (RR), led by Sanju Samson, have also embraced their home advantage. Last season, they narrowly missed a playoff berth, finishing fifth. But this year, they’ve hit the ground running. With seven wins in their kitty, the Royals are determined to make their presence felt. Their fans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium have witnessed thrilling cricket, and the team’s blend of youth and experience has paid dividends.
The Punjab Kings (PBKS), despite their struggles in recent seasons, have found solace at home. Their record of seven wins and seven defeats last year was respectable, but they aim higher this time. With a revamped squad and renewed vigor, PBKS is eager to turn the tide. Can they maintain their home form and surge up the points table?
As the IPL unfolds, the home teams continue to defy the odds. The Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Gujarat Titans have also contributed to this remarkable streak. The roar of the crowd, the familiarity of the pitch, and the comfort of the dressing room—all play a part in this captivating narrative.
While the home teams bask in glory, the away sides are plotting their comeback. The Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants are yet to taste victory on foreign soil. Will they break the jinx and upset the home party?
