As IPL heads into mid season frenzy, Bits and Pieces turns its eyes to the most pressing matters around the greatest show on earth: The origins of Champak the dog, an RCA into RR's demise (not to be confused with RCA's RCA into RR's demise), a meditation on Ishan Kishan Walk-gate, a healthy debate on whether Suryakumar Yadav is in form or not, live images from the street in Chennai that may or may not be named after R Ashwin, and a blow by blow reconstruction of Josh Hazlewood's fantastic four-over spell against... some team... who remembers. Is he even playing this season?
