IPL 2024 Power Rankings #2 - Royals unbeaten, inconsistent Sunrisers and the Mumbai freefall

The Top Order Cricket Podcast

Back by popular demand, the Binksy, Raj, Baldy and Stu gathered in the same room to run through the second instalment of the IPL 2024 Power Rankings.

We discuss all 10 teams and how they are travelling after the first 14 games of the tournament.

• Are the Rajasthan Royals the real deal?
• KKR are flying, but how worried should they be about the form of Mitchell Starc?
• CSK have looked superb, but what happened against Delhi? And is MS Dhoni wasted down the order?
• Gujarat bounced back after their loss to CSK, but do they have the batting firepower to keep them in the playoff picture?
• Delhi's batting order shuffle led to a win against CSK - is Rishabh Pant the key to unlocking their true potential?
• Sunrisers Hyderabad shattered records in game two, before crashing back down to earth. Which performance is the best indication of who they are as a team?
• LSG were at risk of going 0-2, until Mayank Yadav sparked them into life on debut.
• Virat Kohli has still got it, but what about RCB's other overseas players?
• Optimists might say the Punjab Kings should be unbeaten after 3 games - do the boys agree?
• And what's going on in Mumbai as the Wankhede Stadium fans boo Hardik Pandya?!
