Meanwhile, following their loss versus Gujarat, RCB, who were at the top of the points table - are now at the third position. These are still early days in IPL, but - one thing has to be admitted - RCB look more focused this year and hungrier than before. 

RCB's New Star, Swastik Chikara

Chikara, who’s not even 20 - hails from Ghaziabad. The 19-year-old caught everyone’s attention last month when he scored the fastest fifty in the UP T20 League, blasting 85 runs off just 27 balls. Before RCB happened, he had carved out a name for himself in List A cricket, smashing 117 runs off 101 balls on his debut against Himachal Pradesh in November.
