Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[SaiSrini]

Its the 'Super' Derby today. Kings vs Giant(s)

Wile LSG seem strong on paper, am betting CSK to make a strong comeback today. Hope they rectify their mistakes from the 1st game and set foot positively.

Moeen Ali return should bring us the balance. I feel we need an extra bowler in Deepak’s absence. Moeen should come in for Conway and Pretorius or Jordan for Santner.

CSK unlocking Uthappa's full potential...

And they heard you!!

CSK are going hard at almost anything thrown at them today, never seen them play like this for ages!

They are going at almost 12 an over. Interestingly Cricinfo is forecasting just 194! @SaiSrini any chance for collapses?

I read your post highlighting the word 'collapses' and CSK 2nd wicket down...

Hope not! This is a batting beauty. 220 might be required to defend. With CSK’s inexperienced Indian bowlers, absolutely need 220

Edit: You jinxed Uthappa!

Chameera needs some break big time!

 

[SaiSrini]

CSK slowing down big time. Need 220 with the big hitting LSG lineup. This match is a ‘bowling machine’ game where it’s a game of who hits the most. Dew has been there from ball 1, so CSK won’t feel too negative about defending.

Good changes in batting order today. Jadeja is a 6 or below guy. Also good thing is, we have 2 death bowlers (Bravo and Pretorius) to defend. Fingers crossed

 

[Gaurav_7]

Yeah they need at least 40/50 runs from these 3 overs. The pitch is great and there is a lot of dew. 210 at least

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Just want Lucknow to lose.

Would be like a dream if somehow they manage to lose every single match.

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Jadeja is a 6 or below guy.

That's very unfair on him tbh. He plays the short ball really well and is a great threat when spinners are bowling. Also scores all around the ground. It's high time that we differentiate him with his previous version. He can bat at 5 IMO.

Doesn't make sense when a guy like Shivam Dube bats at 4! Jadeja is definitely better than him atleast.

KL Rahul is in a verge of making another Punjab Kings.

KL Rahul is in a verge of making another Punjab Kings.

He captained better tonight. Could have kept a slip for Bishnoi though out but what do I know?

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

The more I see KL, the more I hate him . He just has that Kamran Akmal type personality where hating him gets easier every match . I think the fact that this guy is going to be the future captain of the Indian side is what causes all the hatred from my side.

 

[Bevab]

I don’t quite understand bringing in Pretorius if he‘s supposed to be batting below Bravo who himself can barely bat these days.

Also is Theekshana so bad that he doesn’t play ahead of our Indian debutant?

Conway’s axing also seems a tad harsh although it probably is best for team balance if it means Uthappa opens with Mo at three.
