How poor bowling from Lungu Ngidi! Jofra Archer hit 4 sixes at a row, a professional bowler like Ngidi has been ruined by a bowler. He could have bowl on the block and there's no way Archer could hit a six. My hope for the chase has been finished. Ngidi and Jofra has broken the hope.

Look at that boy Sanju samson, keep in mind that he doesn't make into Indian T-20 team regularly. Guess he need more consistency, at start i was more interested to see Yashasvi Jaiswal batting but Samson batting providing me some kind of relief and TBH looking at these guys batting like that i am feeling old af.

PS : i never rate Smith highly in shorter format as batsman but i love his captaincy.

Edit : Short boundaries so RR's fans don't get your hopes high lol

Edit 1 : 100 for Sanju, literally praying haha

Edit 2 : damn you Sanju...

Edit 3 : WTF Miller

Edit 4 : Okay fukers.......... no point for me in this game  

Edit 5 : If RR doesn't want to cross 200 mark in this ground then they deserve to lose.

Well looks like Jofra Archer heard you.   and now I think even though the ground is pretty small 215 is going to be a big psychological mark for any team to chase. If CSK is able to chase this match I would really be happy to lose my point   but yes imagine if there would have been someone like Stokes in the side instead of Tom Curran. Even 250 was easy on this pitch

Brilliant knock from Sanju but now match has turned into different direction. It's a battting picth and still possible to chase the probable score which can be around 200. I waited for odd increase for CSK and got 3.2 for CSK   Right after placing my bet, Samson got out, hehe.

Looks like you came out on time. After the innings of Jofra Archer I hope he has a similar day with the ball today.

How poor bowling from Lungu Ngidi! Jofra Archer hit 4 sixes at a row, a professional bowler like Ngidi has been ruined by a bowler. He could have bowl on the block and there's no way Archer could hit a six. My hope for the chase has been finished. Ngidi and Jofra has broken the hope.

Hahah half century for Ngidi today I think he is the new member of Ashok dinda club now along with Umesh Yadav.

Frankly speaking, I really doubt if CSK could chase the target tonight! CSK batting lineup has huge experience but little substance. The combine age of the CSK openers is 75 (36+35)!!

Apart from Faf Du Plessis, we cannot expect blazing performances from rest of the batting lineup in every game. All the rest are just 2-3 games wonders. Dhoni promoting Sam Curran above him in last game shows he's not fully confident to come and hit. He needs 20-25 balls to get adapted to this season which I think would bring CSK in danger tonight because target is big. However, I picked CSK for 'comfortable' win. Let see how it goes.

PS: I have decided to give sportbet.one a try. I will deposit on the platform tomorrow and make rest of my IPL bets there.

It's not just the openers. Look at their middle order. Faf du Plessis is 36, while Mahendra Singh Dhoni is 39. And after MSD, we have Kedar Jadhav who is 35 years old. Can they score runs quickly? IMO, they should send Ravindra Jadeja as no.3 and then Sam Curran as no.4. Else, the required run rate will climb to astronomical levels, and they will be unable to keep it up in the final overs.

[akhjob]

CSK need 57 of 17 runs. While Faf is making some effort to get boundaries MSD is going for singles and dots   I picked CSK to win this match but looks like I'm not going to get any points. The only point I got is from yesterday's default pick   So far it's been a disappointment

Wtf is Dhoni doing 

As I said: "He needs 20-25 balls to get adapted to this season which I think would bring CSK in danger tonight because target is big."

The same thing happened. He literally wasted 13 balls before scoring his first big! Imagine if he hit at least 4 sixes among these 13 balls then he could easily led CSK to the win! He should stop hesitating and bat at 4th or 5th spot. Promoting players like Curran could help in winning a game or two but for long run, he has to step up as a leader in batting department. Faf Du Plessis can't alone take the baton for the entire IPL.

Edit: Wtf is Dhoni doing   Hattrick sixes, I think Dhoni wantonly lost tthis game

Well I was sure of getting the win point but wasn't sure of getting the margin point but Faf and Dhoni have ensured that I get the margin point too.   Dhoni could have taken the match to their side if he had taken some less time to settle in. I don't know why he has made a habit of coming on number 7. Either he is not too confident about himself or he is over confident about rest of the team. He should have atleast played ahead of Kedhar Jadhav. But primarily that quicky from Jofra Archer at the end has made all the difference in this match. on the CSK side absolutely Dhoni himself is responsible for this loss.

Only a couple of sixes in those 13 balls would have done things for CSK. Curran was still a good option to promote but Gaikwad and Jadhav?? If Dhoni knew he needs some time to set in then he should have come at number 5.

[Pffrt]

It's the last over which made the difference. There were some wrong decision from Dhoni too. Sam Curran was sent in a wrong place while CSK need a dependable batsman in that position. MSD could be the player, well CSK badly missed Rayudu tonight. Kedhar Jadhav would also be better positioned at the place of Sam Curran.
CSK need a bit change in their bowling attack I think. None was so good so far in the two matches.

I'm officially a "Panoti" in this IPL. Lol, in last 4matches every team lost which I have selected. Ha ha. Is there any price for becoming last?  lol

[Haunebu]

Archer is basically the hero that RR needed. 27 freaking runs in 2 balls. They went from 183 to 217. Observed many people blaming MSD which I find silly to be honest. He isn't in his prime form anymore people. Check this article out.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/sportscafe.in/cricket/articles/2020/sep/23/ipl-2020-had-we-not-bowled-no-balls-we-wouldve-been-chasing-200-insists-ms-dhoni/amp

I blame Ngidi for leaking runs and Vijay for playing slowly during the power-play. Looks like Vishnu continues to top the leaderboard thanks to WP and MP.

Actually blames on him came after he had hit three sixes in the last over. The fact that he played pretty calmly in start of his innings and even in the 19th Over and strangely starts hitting sixes in the 20th over is the reason why people are blaming him but yes there could be another link to this that in the last over bowler might be bowling some loose balls himself knowing the fact that they have already won the match. But yes he can't be solely blamed for the defeat. You can't forget Ngidi's half century which helped RR win

By the way @Haunebu did you reported a post of mine? why was my post on this thread deleted?

This Sharjah ground seems graveyard for bowlers and indeed Last over firework saved the day for RR, it was brutal from the bowler's perspective.  

Curran brothers are good all-rounders but yeah Ben stokes might replace Tom Curran as soon as he's available still no news on Stokes tho. Another name is Buttler, he's still in the quarantine. Till then they are going to stick with the Tom Curran and David Millar.

Edit : @Everyone you guys betting on "Outrights" market? My first choice is KKR but didn't finalized yet.

Lol at last I'm becoming useful here I am going with KKR today. So you should know which team you have to select now ha ha. Let's see if I can break that  losing circle. Best of luck.

I disagree. Do you think MSD is some kind of super-hero who could save CSK from an almost impossible position? Also, which bowler would plan on bowling poorly just because they secured their win? Stupid statement.

When MSD did hit those sixes, did you see how far the ball went each time? The blame falls on players like Ngidi, Vijay etc as I mentioned earlier. Also, why on earth did you suddenly think that I reported your post?

Kolkata Knight Riders playing their first match today, but I have made a bet in favor of the Mumbai Indians. I want to see Sunil Narine in action, after his recent outings in CPL. And also, I heard that Kamlesh Nagarkoti will be playing today for KKR. I last saw him in action almost 3 years ago, when he was representing the Indian U-19 team in New Zealand (the 2018 U-19 World Cup). It's nice to have him back, and I hope he hasn't lost any of his pace and bounce.

Well this is going to be a tough choice for RR. David miller and buttler both are great batsmen. It's just that Miller is not in a good touch moreover it would depend on the requirements of the team. I feel they have a good top order so adding Buttler won't make a difference but he is such a good player that keeping him out just doesn't looks justified. It would be interesting to see which 4 players RR choose.

Oh that's fine nevermind. I thought I had written something wrong

[glowing10]

Why Sanju is not given much chance in team India, just saw highlights of yesterday match and the way he has hit those sixes and batted surely has got a good hitting capacity. He had caught a tough catch while keeping it as well. He can be a good option for keeping and can also bat well in team India. Did not expected their win but they really played well to register win.

Right now Rishabh Pant has cemented the position of wicket keeper batsman in the Indian T20 and ODI squads. Samson has got a good start to this IPL. If he performs like this for the remaining matches, then it will be very difficult for the selectors to ignore him. The problem is that there is fierce competition for the wicketkeeper slot. Apart from Pant and Samson, there are others such as Ishan Kishan and Ankush Bains.

They could try Steve smith down the order may be 2nd down after Sanju Samson, reason for this is Smith is not as explosive as Buttler. Sharjah ground was small so he got away with it and its just the first game. I think franchise first choice is Buttler instead of Millar, they should rotate them constantly according to games and just to manage their workload. For big games Buttler, Smith, Ben stokes and Archer seems good combination.

He does have capability of hitting big sixes, no matter how big ground is but the only problem is his consistency.
