Well, in all fairness, they have gotten through on many a occasion on account of last minute helter skelter running by others.
MI has won, they are a decent team, but they arent the best when it comes to consistency.

Don't know which MI you are following but I think they are one of the most consistent sides in IPL and probably the best T20 side in the world in the last 5 years. Yes they do start slow but with MI it is completely about momentum they build up. Teams start worrying them when they are on a run.

Bhuvi's selection in the upcoming WT20 squad is Highly questionable.
He is someone who doesn't go for much runs but does not take wickets either. (More economical)
A wicket here & there with the new ball and has not looked good in death bowling at all this season.
Shami is hot & cold bowler , so pressure on Bumrah to deliver.
Siraj, Thakur & Chahar are better options and more suited in the Shortest format.

I doubt whether he is a limited overs specialist. He doesn't look as threatening as he looks in the longer format of the game.
You think World Cup team should have been selected on the basis of few IPL performances?

Absolutely because its a world T20.
And all the Indian players - capped & uncapped, domestic or international star plays majority of chunk in the T20 format only in the IPL - the best way to test the mettle & decide the calibre of player.
There is Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament but unfortunately its quality is nowhere near the IPL & performers like Pandya Bros, Hooda and more recently Abdul Samad got elevated in the IPL from the Syed Mushtaq Ali.

He is and has done well for India in the T20I played so far.
Has this knack of getting in the middle overs with those slower deliveries & knuckle ball.
People undermine his role & he is treated much of troll despite doing well not only in social media but also by the clowns known as cricket expert.
(Edit: It seems like many got it wrong and the umpires were right, on the no ball thing; it is a no ball only if the ball lands ahead of the stumps but in this case, the ball slipped and landed behind the stumps. Weird laws. Why is there a no ball for a really wide delivery? What next? Free hit on regular wide deliveries? This constant love for big hits is so annoying)
As usual, CSK mess up another game! Are they under instructions to make the top 2 fight very interesting? This game was ours to take!! Anyways.....
This is Delhi's title to take! They have the batsmen and bowlers for every pitch, every condition.. The commentators dissed the move to send Ashwin above Heytmer and Axar, but clearly the DC mgmt knew that a big hitter was required in the last few overs as they predicted the game to get tight there and also did a "Heytmer vs Bravo" matchup that clicked perfect for them! It was not a good call to have Bravo enter the game in the 18th over and CSK paid the price. Bravo looked scratchy right when we couldn't afford that scratchiness.

Hmm..wasn't it mobile only from the start? It was, at least for me, when I purchased the pack on the day the IPL began.

Luckily got this on right time to enjoy IPL 2021, ICC WT20, vivo PKL 8, IPL 2022 Mega Auction and hopefully IPL 2022.
Will see if needed next year

Its a good deal IMO because it all unlocks all the content of Disney , HBO & other content to watch on single mobile device at a time.
Unlike before where you can only watch sports & Other Contents only in dubbed language.

I don't know about other countries but in India we need subscriptions of various apps to watch Live TV or any show on any device doesn't matter its a PC, smart TV, android device or even a Web browser.
Big news - MS Dhoni confirms on India Cements private YouTube event (with fans) that he is likely to be retained by CSK for IPL 2022 and that he wants to sign off with some games in Chennai and he wants the fans to come to Chepauk and watch him play one final time and bid him farewell!
Big impact on the dynamics of CSK's mega auction strategy. It is obvious he has to be retained for this to happen (other teams will still go crazy behind MS Dhoni despite his batting form, as his leadership acumen and his mere presence is pure gold). And if he's retained and the no of retentions are not that big, CSK could be forced to lose one of Ruturaj or Jadeja. Well..... happy as a fan that we'll continue to see him, but from an overall team fan perspective, I am cautiously skeptical as to how this will pan out. I think Dhoni will retire mid-cycle (like Watson) and CSK will draft in a replacement in a small auction. But small auctions are tougher to fill gigantic sized boots of an MS Dhoni! Interesting times ahead....
