Jack and Max get together for this week’s IPL special. Things are starting to heat up in the tournament, so there is plenty to get stuck into. To begin with, we need to talk about KXIP, they have come from nowhere to being one of the favourites to make the play-offs. What is behind their resurgence? On the other hand KKR turned in the worst performance of the season against RCB. What’s going wrong there, can Narine save them? The preview section of the show is also packed. This weekend there are crucial games between Sunrisers and Kings XI. The loser of that game will probably be eliminated.
