Thanks to a sitter dropped by Gony.
However credit to the man if Punjab manages to pull this one off.

Yuvraj would do well to come in as an opener. He is best against medium pacers, and once he gets his eye in can be devastating against the spinners as well.

How good was Raina! It was a desperate attempt from Dhoni, but by jove, his pot of luck has hardly run empty. Raina's 2 over spell for just 8 runs decided the match.

I didn't expect Kings XI to get this close but they did well. The overs from VRV cost them big time.
They need to replace him or something he didn't do anything in the matches he played this year.

arent the teams allowed only 4 foreigners. With Lee coming in to replace him someone would have to be dropped.
Thats a good win for CSK. Super move from Dhoni to bring in Raina. It was not luck. Raina has been bowling well in this tournament so far and has been quite economical whenever he has bowled. But it was still a surprise because he is still a part timer. But Dhoni put faith in him and he turned the match towards CSK with those two overs.
Yuvraj has form here, and CSK have their win. Cant get better for me! CSK back to the top. Two more games to win and we should ideally seal our semifinal spot. Super turnaround after a bad start

This Gony guy was a fluke in the last IPL. He looks terrible this year with his bowling, and his fielding is atrociously pathetic. Even Munaf Patel ranks better!

He didnt quite do it.... Well you can predict it with Yuvraj.

Problem with CSK is absence of one good fast bowler. They are very dependent on their batting powerhouse, which on a bad day may not click and they have hardly bowlers to back them. Jakati and Murali might be able to do some stuff, but their fast bowling is so suspect.

Tyagi has a lot of talent, he's tall and hits the decks hard. But we might need an Ntini. Since our batting has only been losing the 2 or 3 wickets each time we might as well use Ntini.
Yeah, I think we might want to use Ntini.
Also why did we drop Murali Vijay today and promote Badrinath to open the innings? What did Vijay do to get this? He scored 31 off 33 balls in the previous game at a good rate (more importantly, he let the other player go hammer tongs). We brought in George Bailey but he was just a spectator today (didnt bat, didnt bowl). We did a similar thing with Ashwin in one of the early matches. Its a waste of resources. And today, we spoiled Badri's flow by sending him to open.

an Experiment, at least it didn't hurt us too badly.
Although I agree, Badri should be a permanent slotting at 4.

? They only use one pitch .Hayden looked superb today and so did Yuvraj. Was a treat to watch them both.
Morkel is really being under used with his batting, bearly has had any time to bat. Their bowling certainly could be their down fall come the finals. With some of the other sides finding some serious form in the batting, CSK could struggle big time against them.
