Indian Premier League - General Discussion

Oh Boyyyyyy! Umesh Yadav ! Although Disastrous start as a MI supporter after losing 3 games in a row.

Why should QDK be dropped? Can understand for Baz but why QDK? RCB seem to be doing well doing well but are unlucky. They should primarily focus on making small changes like getting Kohli to open and ABD one drop. de Grandhomme in place on Baz will give them some solidity down the order too. Think their biggest regret this season will be not pushing for Rahul hard enough.

Yes, Baz should be dropped. Main reason why myself and LLA want QDK to be dropped is to strengthen the bowling. Having Colin, Woakes and Southee will give us a boost. And we have Parthiv and Vohra to open the batting. They may not be as good as QDK but we have options for openers. By dropping QDK, we can add another overseas bowler.

I hope Sarfaraz Khan plays well today and realize this is a big opportunity that the RCB has given him and just not throw it away like he did in the prev. two games.

Same here. He needs to grab this opportunity well and utilize it. He showed good signs in U19 and the first ipl season. He missed the last season and this will surely be his last chance. Hope he performs well.

And what a start by Umesh !

Nasser Hussain wanted Rohit to bat not less than no.3 and face the new ball challenge .... well he got his wish now with Umesh striking 2 in 2 Rohit is up there batting at no.4.

I have a very bad feeling about Siraj - the perennial run leaker

 

[zwarrior]

Rohit is in the 'zone' today.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

True that!

 

[zwarrior]

Why not give another over to Yadav? Everyone are going for runs whereas Yadav was bowling so well. Bad captaincy. They have already neutralized the 2 early wickets.

Fact: The likes of Pollard, Rohit gain back their form when they face RCB every year. Lol

It amazes me how bad a captain Kohli is.. amazes me.

Slow over rate by RCB ?100 minutes already and the innings hasn't been completed yet with two overs still to go + a lot of field changes and a hell lot of advices from dugout.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Well played Rohit Sharma, deserved that 100.

 

[zwarrior]

We are hopeless.

 

[Gaurav_7]

What a stupid attitude Kohli has seriously! Such a disgrace as a captain.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Lol! Kohli still crying about that wrong review.
He has been failing too long as a RCB captain , isn't he? This is his sixth season as full time captain and RCB managed to reach the playoffs only twice and apart from it they were languished at the bottoms for the rest

Meanwhile a great comeback by MI with Rohit leading from the front and great opportunity to get off the mark in the tournament unless AB produces a freak of a innings or Kohli chasing the targets Luke he always does.

Nope. There wasn't a single instance where bowlers went into discussion with other players or with Virat. And no delay with the bowling too. There was couple of interruption due to quick physio for Rohit, Ball change or something...[DOUBLEPOST=1523982506][/DOUBLEPOST]Kohli has been a pathetic captain so far. The field placements and not making any changes to the field even after knowing the strong points of batsmen, that simply pathetic.[DOUBLEPOST=1523982579][/DOUBLEPOST]I don't see RCB chase this unless there is something special from Kohli or ABD. ABD has some issues with facing Krunal.
