I am too watching cricket today, it happen that a lot of foreign players play in Asian game of India. I tend to align with pink team as i know Smith and has no doubt on him.

Seems like you have not much idea about cricket :-)
However, I would like to welcome you here and I hope you will enjoy today's match.

Cheers :-)

IPL made even the baseball fans to watch it due to lot of excitement than the international matches.

Coming to the match and it was great know from Gayle,never expect this kind of know from veteran.But as I said RR is chasing well they are at 92 before completion of 10 overs.

Well RR lost an easy match which they were winning. It's the run out (was it really) of JC Buttler. There will be controversy for this out. Congrats to KXIP.

By the way, I ended up risking some money for RR but lost it. I am disappointed with this lose. At some stage they were offering my 180% return but I did not take that. I was thinking RR was going to win easily :-(

@Royse777 @JSRAW Thanks guys. Was a bit lucky with my guesses. I bet for RR and lost too thanks to an amazing comeback by Punjab. RR literally lost 6 wickets for 16 runs which is insane bowling towards the end.

There is nothing controversial about Buttler getting run out since he was out of the crease and Ashwin played it smartly. Kudos to Punjab for pulling of the win here.

It was in the rule but still not good to take wickets like that because where people see sport as bad thing.

RR lost match because of that 17th over where the match was in their hand of 39 needed in 24 balls but they keep losing their wickets from that will make them to be in loss.

Like how Gayle and other team players available for Kings XI punjab even RR also good all-rounders and indian players there. I truly expect that Ben strokes will play good match today but even he didn't perform well.
I was thinking that they will win this match unfortunately I didn't happen. Conclusion I love Ashwin and the team performance.

@Royse you should put money on players too. Gayle and Butler both did great in their respective innings. don't know why RR giving so much money to Jaydev Unadkat. guess RR just filling the quota.

There are three types of players on which IPL management puts huge money
1. World class players (Kohli , MSD , Gayle)
2. Experienced players
3. Young players whom they can retain for long time and then sell.

Ashwin yesterday performance is really appreciable. 20 runs in 4 over. At the beginning, I thought RR will win but none of their middle and lower middle order batsman couldn't perform well. Anyway, this was an interesting match. I didn't bet though.

I guess your reply is for bold part- context?

If your reply was for "bold part" then Yeah, you are right and its common sense as well IMHO. my point was that RR wasting money on Jaydev unnecessary only because

they want to fill the quota of one Indian fast bowler, they could get at least 3-4 Local fast bowler in his price range.

Unadkat is a good bowler, it makes sense why RR spent money on him. Bad luck is that he didn't perform well yesterday. Anyway, I think RR could buy a good spinner instead of him. They have enough fast bowler.

Last year he was picked by RR at almost $1.8 million dollars. this year little more than $1.2 Million dollars. I highly doubt that he deserves whooping million dollar deal.

He is okay bowler but not a million dollar arm IMHO. his last IPL performances was shitshow tbh in comparison of his paycheck.

The only time he performed exceptionally was during 2017 IPL

I agree. Unadkat does not deserve the paycheck due to his recent form. Some players just get lucky sometimes and are chosen over the multitude of talent available and Unadkat is simply one of those players.

I simply don't understand why RR picked him up for such a big amount after last years horrible performance.

Maybe I didn't notice or somehow missed him in last IPL season. But it happens as like Haunebu said. However, it's my bad that I didn't know that $1.2 was spent on him, sorry bud.

We can't do much about that except bitching lol hopefully he will give some nice performance in upcoming matches.

Chill bro happens sometimes and there is nothing wrong with it, it's hard to follow every player in 20-20 leagues.

Yes it was the reply for bold part-context .
What you say makes sense , instead of making the life of 1 Indian bowler they could have made lives of 4 players but the thing is now there will be more pressure on Jaydev and more responsibility because they have paid so much . That will make him put extra effort and work harder .

Anyone betting today. On sportsbet, now odd for Delhi is 2.10 and for Chennai, it's 1.77, it's quite confusing for me. Chennai is obviously a good pick but Delhi showed a great performance in their last match for which I'm quite confused to bet for Chennai. What do you think guys?

I can assure that you can bet on chennai since the toss already done but DL looks to bat first on turning pitch so CSK playing with same spin attack they can have better chance of winning.

I agree. I bet on Chennai and they are doing really well restricting Delhi to a modest total thanks to quality bowling by Bravo and the spinners. CSK all the way at the moment.

I have my chips on CSK too . When it comes to bowling , Imran is the holder of purple cap and 4 of 5 contenders right now are from CSK.  That tells you something isn't it?
The selection of CSK.  I am impressed by Chahar , good attitude .

Looks like we won our bets. CSK is doing everything right at present and they are the team to beat once again for nth time as expected. Delhi have improved a lot over time though and their current lineup is great.
