Indian Premier League #IPL Cricket

[HelliumZ]

MI vs KKR coming up. I feel that this one will go to Kolkata who made a great comeback in the last match while Mumbai are playing like crap in literally every department since they are overdependent on players like Tilak and Sky.

Bumrah's absence can be felt very clearly. Spin kings like Varun and Narine are the key players for Kolkata. Let's see how it goes.

There is definitely a good combination between the batsmen and bowlers of Kolkata Knight Riders but the performance of the batsmen in the Mumbai Indians squad is not going well at all. Mumbai Indians lost both matches, lost to Chennai Super Kings in the first match to score just 155 runs but again scored 160 runs against the Gujarat Titans. Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the points table after losing two matches in two consecutive matches due to poor performance in both batting and bowling.

Certainly Kolkata Knight Riders team has a lot of good bowlers and batsmen. The team is quite strong in both batting and bowling. Especially Quinton de Kock in Kolkata team is a very reliable batsman. If he can be set on the pitch, then the team's collection will definitely increase. If all-rounder Sunil Narine starts a devastating batting, then it will create a big disaster in that match. Rinku Singh and Andre Russell can shine. That is why Kolkata is definitely a strong team. Considering Kolkata's squad, Mumbai Indians are quite weak. The team is not able to perform very well in this season. The team has suffered big defeats in two consecutive matches. In today's match, the team won the toss and decided to bowl. If Kolkata can set a big target, then it will be difficult for Mumbai Indians to win the match.

Bumrah is key but it's not like they don't have good bowlers in their rank, they have Bault, Satner, Mujeeb (0ut of color) and fair amount of good local bowlers, including Pandaya.

It's just their batting line up looks weak and big guns are not clicking, that should be their biggest worry and not absence of bumrah.

Problem is that most of their bowlers are out of form while Santner and Pandya are the only ones who seem like they are in form. Rohit is doing his usual thing where he clicks once every eclipse while their impact player has made zero impact so far.

Bumrah won't return anytime soon due to his injury, but he will improve the overall morale in the team whenever he returns.

I am deeply disappointed with the performance of the Kolkata Knight Riders in this match. They have already lost four wickets for 41 runs. Both the openers were out when the score was only two and then the captain Ajinkya Rahane also out by Ashwani Kumar, making only 11 runs. Angkrish Raghuvanshi looking good but don't know how long can he stay on the wicket.

The former champion Kolkata Knight Riders isn't having the best start in this IPL season. They lost to RCB in the first match but then got a win against the Rajasthan Royals. I think today again they may face another loss.

Bowlers doing their job tonight and so far every bowler chipped in, early movement was there for seam but you need to ball good as well so props to them.

They should aim to wrap up this quickly and may be look to improve their NRR, which is necessary as tourney progress.

Well, if score is low tonight then maybe Rohit might click and his 20-30 would look good, he forgot how to play big innings anyway.

Mumbai Indians were able to completely upset Kolkata Knight Riders in today's match. Ashwani Kumar is performing brilliantly in today's debut match, as a result, Mumbai Indians are performing incredibly well in today's match in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Kolkata Knight Riders, who lost 7 wickets for 80 runs, can score at most 120 runs in today's match, so it will not be difficult to chase down this small number of runs in today's match.

Mumbai Indians did not give any chance to Kolkata Knight Riders in today's match. The team has not won in the last two matches, they will probably ensure victory in today's match. It will definitely not be easy for Kolkata to win the match with such a low score. If two batsmen in the Mumbai Indians team can keep wickets and play, then it will not be difficult to win this match. Although in T20 matches, even low scores are often faced with a highly competitive battle. In the meantime, all the batsmen of Kolkata Knight Riders have been defeated. Ashwani Kumar has been able to completely upset Kolkata Knight Riders with his bowling performance. It will be almost impossible for Kolkata Knight Riders to win today's match.

[Webetcoins]

Ashwani Kumai create history at Wankhede Mumbai after taking wicket on first ball of his debut for Mumbai Indians against Kolkata Knight Riders with now he is also first bowler in IPL history who took 4 wickets on debut match as well.



Ashwani Kumar took 4 for 24 in 3 overs which is dream start of this new bowling sensation with they dismantle Kolkata Knight Riders on 116 in just 16.2 overs which is also worst for the visitors which are looking not good in this season after having poor start of their campaign. Now this could be big opportunity for Mumbai Indians to have first won of season and also set their NRR good which is lowest after having 2 defeats into their first 2 games of this season their chase is going to start in few minutes.

Kolkata Knight Riders disappointed in batting performance in this match all out at just 116 runs. From Kolkata Knight Riders Angkrish Raghuvanshi played some responsible innings of 26 runs from just 16 balls and The rest of Bastman haven't played a responsible inning. The bowling performance of Mumbai Indians is amazing to watch especially Ashwani Kumar picked 4 important wickets by just giving only 24 runs and Deepak Chahar also bowled an amazing spell picking 2 wickets by giving only 19 runs and limiting Kolkata Knight Riders under a low 120 runs. Mumbai Indians disappointed start of sessions after losing first two matches. It was very important for them to win this match and their bowlers have performed very well in this match. Every bowler took wickets and bowled out Kolkata Raiders on a low score. I hope that Mumbai Indian will easily chase this target and register their first win in this Indian Premier League session.

The performance of Mumbai's bowlers surprised us all today. The team performed brilliantly. None of the Kolkata batsmen could stay at the crease for long today. Ashwani Kumar took four very important wickets today. The highest score of Kolkata's squad is Angkrish Raghuvanshi 26 runs. Kolkata's innings stopped at just 116. Winning such a small target is impossible. I guess Mumbai will reach the target of victory today within 13 overs. Despite losing the first two matches, Mumbai Indians showed a wonderful comeback today. On the other hand, the performance of Kolkata's players is erratic

Another newbie did the job for MI today, they are the best in bringing the unknown talents. Pandaya didn't like others achieving milestones instead of giving Ashwani Kumar another over and get a 5 fer he picked other bowlers.

MI is looking to finish the game in the 11 or 12 overs that will boost them from bottom of the table.

Again Rohi failed apart from that six in the free hit.

Maybe your guess will be right. Mumbai will probably win this match in 13 overs. Mumbai Indians have managed to score 70 runs in 8 overs and have lost only one wicket. Ryan Rickelton is batting well today. Ryan Rickelton is unbeaten on 43 runs from 28 balls. Except Varun Chakravarthy, no other bowler has bowled so controlledly. Harshit Rana has given 28 runs in 2 overs. However, it is impossible to win by giving a target of only 117 runs. If they can score 160+, the match would have been very competitive. Mumbai is currently at the last position in the table. However, if they can continue their performance like today, Mumbai will be able to climb up the table quickly.

Milestone of teammate and hardik don't go well together lol. Even if it was unintentional, everyone read as some evil move haha. Such incident create lot of organic discussion on the interweb and tbh it's fun.

Said it many times, their scouts team is good and known for bringing unknown talent, good thing is it's rubbing off on other franchises as well, which is incredible.

Rohit is looking death weight tbh but guy need a 1 good innings with the bat and his PR will do the rest.

Indeed, it was a surprising performance by Mumbai Indians today. They lost the first two matches that they played against Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. Everyone including the bookies were expecting the same poor performance from them today but they come out strongly and won a very important match. Three consecutive loss would be very bad for them but thankfully they were able to win one today. Not only they bowled well but they batted with confidence too. Ryan Rickelton made 62 runs and remained not out. I hope the Mumbai Indians to continue with the same form in the upcoming matches.

[Out of mind]

Today's match was really unbelievable, I thought maybe Kolkata Knight Riders would win the match today, but their game was very bad. This is the first time Kolkata Knight Riders have given such a low target in IPL, this is one of the worst batting performances this year. Targeting only 116 runs, KKR's performance today was not good at all, their batting was the worst, as a result they could not increase the runs. However, Mumbai Indians' bowling was amazing and they also performed well in batting, they were able to meet the target of only 116 runs very easily. Mumbai Indians won today's match by 8 wickets, they won their first match of this year's IPL by defeating Kolkata Knight Riders.

He is still a deadly batter in my opinion but he has technical flaws that everyone is exploiting these days, even after coming from good champions trophy he is struggling. And today was the perfect day for him, just run a ball and with few boundaries here and there he could have scored 40 or 50 but he didn't.

IPL is more than a cricket now, so teams won't take chances with something that can affect their stardom.

The score by KKR was the lowest till date for this IPL. Their batting was a disaster. Bowling from Ashwini Kumar was particularly impressive. Two of those wickets were bold. MI didn't missed the chance and chased the small target of 117 rapidly.
The result of MI and KKR match means now every team has won at least one match in IPL on the first three matches played. i.e. every team has atleast 1 win and no more than 2 loses. This signifies how competitive the teams are and each of them are capable of winning the trophy. KKR with the least Net run rate occupies the bottom of the table for the time.

Totally unpredictable and today Kolkata Knight Riders squad was disappointed me and their fans. Mumbai India squad did a strong come back in the competition and this was the their first victory in Indian Premium league competition. Kolkata Knight Riders squad was begun match first with the batting inning and their batters managed to collect 116 scores just in first inning and posted to Mumbai India squad. This showed that Mumbai India squad really displayed significant performance and restricted them to low quality scores. Ashwani Kumar picked up 4 crucial wickets of Kolkata Knight Riders Rinku Singh, Ajinkya Rahane, Quinton de Kock and Andre Russell. All are main members of Kolkata Knight Riders squad and all wickets dropped out by Ashwani Kumar Bowler. With the support of Ryan Rickelton batters Mumbai Indian squad simply achieved a victory and he collected 62 scores.

If we talk about the point table of Indian Premier League a total of 10 teams are participating in this series. Royal Challengers Bengaluru is at first position with 4 points by winning both the games they have played. Delhi Capitals is on the second spot with 4 points but net run rate is lower than RCB. Lucknow Super Giants secured the 3rd spot with 2 points because they have lost one game. Gujarat Titans are on the 4th position with 2 points. Punjab Kings are at 5th spot with Net run rate of 0.5 and 2 points. Mumbai Indians have played 3 games but unfortunately lost 2 of them, thus they have 2 points. Chennai Super Kings have 2 points at 7th spot with net run rate of -0.7. Sunrisers Hyderabad have 2 points after losing 2 games out of 3. Rajasthan Royals are at 9th spot with 2 points. The team at the last is Kolkata Knight Riders with 2 points after winning 1 game out of 3.

A performance like this from the defending champions really disappoints us. Kolkata were an unbeaten team last season but this season they have not started the season well so far. Basically Kolkata Knight Riders have sold some key players from last season team due to which we have not seen such good team performance from Kolkata Knight Riders till now. Kolkata Knight Riders have kept two of those preferred cricketers in the team as auto choices but these players are not able to contribute in batting and bowling. These two Caribbean stars have played for Kolkata Knight Riders for a long time now I think Kolkata Knight Riders should think about them and replace them with two good foreign cricketers. 

Shah Rukh Khan's team will not be able to go far in this IPL if Kolkata Knight Riders do not improve their performance very soon like they did against Mumbai Indians.
