Sam Ellard is joined by the former IPL batter Abhishek Jhunjhunwala to discuss the biggest stories from the Indian Premier League? Will Venkatesh Iyer's recall to the RCB side allow them to change the balance of the XI? How does Virat Kohli continue to perform at the top of his game for so long? Is his IPL record played down too much? What's gone so wrong for the Punjab Kings? What happens if they don't make the play-offs? Should the ECB have pulled Jofra Archer out of the IPL so he could play in the first Test against New Zealand? Is Jacob Bethell's form for RCB a concern for England fans ahead of the Test summer?
