At the halfway stage of the IPL season, there are five key talking points

The IPL is approaching the midway point of the season, with teams striving to secure a position in the top four of the T20 tournament.

Opener Travis Head has been instrumental in the Sunrisers Hyderabad's success, with his explosive starts contributing to two record IPL totals of 277 and 287 this season.

Head has achieved a strike rate of 216 in six matches.

At the weekend, he achieved a 32-ball 89 to guide Hyderabad to 266-7 against Delhi Capitals. He commented that it was good to be “on a roll”.
