IPL 2024 Week 1: Records galore, Heinrich Klaasen on fire & Rachin does it again

The Top Order Cricket Podcast

In this episode of the show, Raj and Baldy discuss the past few days of IPL action.

Recorded on 29 March 2024, we look back at the highlights from the first full week of the IPL, including:

• Sunrisers Hyderabad's record total, which kept pre-tournament favourites Mumbai winless from their first two games.
• Is 277 in 20 overs a good thing?
• Is it time to panic for Mumbai and Delhi fans?
• More Rachin Ravindra fireworks as CSK continue rolling against Gujarat
• Who are we concerned about already?
• Can anyone stop the CSK and RR juggernauts?
• And much more!
