“(...) we have got the two best spinners in the IPL in terms of off-spin and leg-spin in (Yuzvendra) Chahal and (Ravichandran) Ashwin. A week into the IPL season and, according to the initial impressions of this new-look team, Sangakkara seems to have been proved right. After a resounding 61-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad to begin their campaign, they were relatively comfortable in their 23-run win over Mumbai Indians on Saturday. Between them, they picked up three for 56 in eight largely tight overs in the middle phase of the Mumbai innings. Brief scores: RR 193/8 in 20 ovs (Buttler 100; Bumrah 3/17) beat MI 170/8 in 20 ovs (Varma 61, Kishan 54; Chahal 2/26).
