IPL Apr 8 - Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders

[SaiSrini]

Good of Dhoni to come in early and get himself set on the crease. With Anirudhaa batting well at the other end, Dhoni should get enough time to get his flow going and launch into orbit later

And MSD starts this IPL with "Well of course"

----------

Jeez, Randiv in the XI. CSK gonna lose this.

----------

And Kolkata is playing just two foreign players, wow. I think it's the first match where a team isn't using all 4 slots of the overseas guys, isn't it?

I remember DD played 3 overseas players in 1 match. (Can't remember the season)

53 needed from 5 overs for a 160 total. Dhoni and Anirudhaa need to get a move on here

Two super DLF Max'rs in that over by Dhoni and Anirudhaa.. Anirudhaa is turning out to be a revelation here. Our selector Kris Srikanth must be so happy

Thanks,but I need the YT link.
Bring back Modi!

Setback for Chennai with MSD's loss. 160 looks impossible here unless Morkel unleashes his special rockets out of the ground. 150 wont be bad though.

KKR have bowled really well in the last few overs (apart from that over where we got two sixes)

 

[Sartaj]

Nice,KKR should pick up an easy win today.

Not too sure. Dhoni is known to be the captain of teams that defend scores that are considered below par.

Last 2 balls were outstanding for Albie Morkel. Best 6 of the match came on the last ball of the inning.

Its a defendable target for sure. Hoping for a close match.

Good finish for CSK but 154 seems gettable. Gambhir, Kallis, Morgan..plenty of batting.

 

[SaiSrini]

Brilliant end to the innings from the Chennai lions! Morkel hits a 4 and a 6 off the last two balls to get us to 153 which I would take happily after having been thinking of settling for a low 140 total. With the pitch getting slower and tougher to score, KKR have a challenge on hand.

Waiting for some Ashwin magic.

Good finish for CSK but 154 seems gettable. Gambhir, Kallis, Morgan..plenty of batting.

and don't forget BIG Yousuf Pathan. He can change the game one-handedly. Ashwin-Jakati combo might hurt KKR though.

 

[SaiSrini]

Time for Ashwin to show Dhoni who is the more attacking spinner in the shorter format of cricket. Hope Southee hits the ground running. Good thing is, we have 6 specialist bowlers who can bowl (without relying on Raina). Backing us to win here!
