What a thrilling final match!!

No one expected CSK to win the 5th IPL trophy. The last two overs, I mean the last two balls were so intense. Sir Jadeja again proved why he is such an important player for the Indian team.

When the rain started I had a feeling that GT will easily win the finals. I never ever imagined that Jadeja will snatch that win from the hands of Hardik Pandya.

Sai Sudarshan another a 21 year old batter was the reason GT got those 214 runs. The highest ever target in IPL final history. Sad that his team was not able to capatalize his power hitting and agressive batting.

Thankfully this series was not official but introspection is required by the PCB. A few players from this team have good experience in playing in PSL with International players. They also did not perform well. I reckon Pakistan was over confident against Zimbabwe which led to such a pathetic performance.

I feel this topic is more suitable for the Indian local board. Now coming to your topic I think it is not just India but most countries have been against Disruptive Technologies. That is because none of them would like to move out of their comfort zone and work for the future. A few decades back who knew that Bitcoin and a few altcoins will change the world so much. Now after realising the fact they are either cashing it out or trying to stop its adoption.

The monsoon has not started yet in India and all ready rain is pouring in most cities across India. Unfortunately due to the untimely rain yesterday in Ahmedabad the match got cancelled.

I won't think it will be a big issue as the match will be played in the evening. Still, for some it would be if they are working till late hours or have evening shifts.

The same situation arises before MSD bid adieu to international cricket. His last match was cancelled due to the rain and reschedule on the next day. Do you think he might retire from IPL after today's match?

I don't think anyone here would object about it as DarkStar_ would not be active in the forum. You have been organizing and handling the raffle for quite sometime now. I have been part of quite a few raffle and I have not felt or read about any issues to date. I believe the funds would be safe and secure with you. Hoping for the next raffle to launch soon.

Does it matter? You choose an instant withdrawal but you will still comeback and again bet. This time you might lose everything or might again make some profits. Next time you might continue losing for a long strech. In the end the house always wins.

If you so impatient then you will face such issue on instant withdrawal too. There can be multiple reason for the delay on instant withdrawal. The occurrence of such an issue might happen once in a while. Therefore while gambling it is always advised to be calm and patient as it helps in making right decisions. 

Not expecting Shubhman Gill to repeat his performance in the finals today. If he does then he will be the second best on that table. As Virat in 2016 had 4 centuries and a total of 973 runs from 16 matches . Whereas Gill has 3 centuries from 16 matches and a total of 851 runs.  have no doubt that Gill is the second best batter for India at the moment after Virat Kohli.

Two of the best team will be playing against each other in the finals today. Both have their own pros and cons and my favourite to win is CSK. Which team is your favourite?

233 as a target is suppose to create psycological pressure and that's what happened yesterday. The next blow came with in form Kishan retired hurt, to find his replacement was a big task. Tilak Verma started creating havoc, then the partnership breaker Rashid Khan was called and as usual he delivered. Cameron Green got injured and all the pressure of scoring runs came on the shoulder of SKY.

GT won not because of their bowling but because of GIll. Thrid century in IPL and that to in a crucial match was beyond my imagination. This is going to be an era of Shubham Gill as I consider another Kohli in the making. We deserved win for GT and dominating comeback.

CSK can win this season, they have played well and they are in the finals because of MSD. GT is good team and they are being considered favourite because of thier overall performance this season. The next reason is that today's match is being played in GT's homeground. Hardik Pandya might not be in form at the moment but he has proven that he is a good captain as his team is the defending champion. Multiple factors like the ones that I wrote is the reason why everyone is favouring GT against MI.

The problem with GT now is that they look dependent on Shubhman Gills batting. They were earlier playing like a team but after consecutive centuries by Gill they went into the relax mode. On bowling they are very dependent on Rashid Khan's spin attack. Almost everytime when they are unable to break a partnership he is called and he does deliver.

MI at the moment is not dependent on anyone's individual performance. If one batter didn't bat well then the other would take the responsibility. On bowling they are still inconsistent but not as bad as they were in the early stages. At that time it looked as if they were missing Jasprit Bumrah.

I assume this big number is because of Gen Z. They are mostly college going kids and those who have started their jobs. They are the one who want to have a lot of money in a short span of time. I won't blame them of having such a mentality. The amount of competition these guys are facing is nothing compared to the millennials.

That is why they are investigating their pocket money and a part of salary in such cryptocurrency. We all know investing in Bitcoin or other hig value crypto will not help them in achieving their goal in a short term. Shit coins are the ones which might help them financially but they do come with a lot of risk. As they do not have any responsibility they are willing to take such risks.

I am expecting the Ahmedabad pitch to be batter friendly. If it is then MI have an upper edge. I won't comment on their bowling line up as it is still not the best. Considering their batting depth and the form each batter (except Rohit) is in now they are the favourite.

As GT is playing on their home ground and after the unfortunate loss against CSK, I am expecting the team to perform above average. We can expect a good T20 game today that is for sure.

Middle east is full of expat from the subcontinent. They want to cash the craze of cricket that these people have. That is the reason they are buying players to play for their team from the subcontinent. That allows these expats to relate themselves to the player. After football, cricket is the second most watched sports in the world. If ai am correct it is in the top 5 high revenue generating sports in the world.

He felt he is better than his brother and thought why not taken on the whole MI all by himself. Niether he is good spinner nor a good batter and a worst captain in my opinion.

KL Rahul sudden departure due to the injury a big blow for LSG. He was not in form but he knew how to captain this side. After his departure the management made a mockery of themselves by hiring this idiot as a captain.

What a disaster for LSG! I have never seen a batting line-up completely confused whether to take a run or not. MI were lucky to win the toss as the team batting first will have an upper edge. Akash Madhwal was the star of yesterday's match. I have never heard of this guy but for me he got best out of the slow pitch. Bye bye LSG! I hope you come back strong next season.

In the meantime Mota Bhai's visit to Siddhivinayak temple was quite fruitful. MI's hope of reaching the finals is still on. I hope the pitch of Ahemdabad would be better than the pitch of Chennai.

It is a matter of an individuals choice! The father thinks earning from gambling will only bring bad image of his family whereas the son doesn't believe in his ideology. It is quite common in many societies around the world  to consider Gambling as a bad influence to the family. There are religions that believe earnings from gambling to be bad. Therefore this news doesn't suprise me.

Any kind of addiction is bad both for your health and your finances. It not only affects you as a person but it also affects the family and friends. My understanding of addiction is that anything you do which is excessive and does fall under normality.

I do agree the only way to get over an addiction is keep your mind busy. That doesn't happen with everyone. That is why it is always advised to get professional help. Unless you have a stong will power and have the ability to constantly keep yourself busy.

Pandya, Miller and Tewatia were the biggest flop yesterday. Each of them contributed a single digit to the scoreboard. 172 was not that easy under those humid condition to chase. Pandya after winning the toss got overconfident and choose to bowl first. In my opinion they should have batted first and defended the target. They still have a another chance but if MI win today then I won't be surprised if GT loses the match against them.

I do not think using an AI for grammar and spell check will be an issue. After all Grammerly does the same thing and a lot of members use it. Since, Lemur Android browser does allow extension, why not install Grammerly and use it. It will be better than the AI as you do not need to go to the AI evrrytime you write a reply.

I was under the impression that online Gambling and Betting fall under this tax slab. This crazy! I can understand about Gambling and Betting but why normal online gaming industry. This tax slab doesn't make any sense to me. As per my understanding like cryptocurrency, online gaming is an emerging market for India. The government is trying to stop both industry from emerging. This proves how much these babus have an idea about technology.
