Indian Premier League - General Discussion

Sai has completely destroyed Deshpande here.

 

[Aravind.]

Super proud of Sai, Chennai boy doing it against Srinimama team.

 

[Bevab]

How on earth could you bench this guy GT?

 

[Fenil]

Staggering innings from Sai Sudarshan. The Chennai boy gave a real stick to his home IPL franchise.

That said, great comeback by Pathirana. Takes some skill to bowl the ball he did to Sai amidst the onslaught.

 

[Fenil]

Excellent score but GT would be wary of the looooong batting lineup of CSK. Chahar bats @9 for them with Dhoni listed @8!

 

[LiveLoveABD]

I don't think CSK is out of it, but definitely 75-25 game now in favour of GT. No idea how MS didn't use Moeen Ali or even Dube.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Who will step up for CSK? Even the gods lined up with the Shahs and Modis to help GT win this game.. anyone??? Where are the CSK conspirators?

Rahane, Gaikwad, Dube are in good form. Conway, Jadeja, Ali and Dhoni can hit long.

Thala got his customary stumping and a catch, a six in the second innings will satisfy his fans probably even if CSK lose.

BTW lightning in the sky here.

Shah, Modi > Srinivasan

This is probably the biggest total in an IPL final, I don’t see how we chase this given how downbeat the team was throughout the first innings.

Srinivasan is the man of the past now.

Is this also a part of the mid innings madness show?

Unfortunately not.

It does look like we might see a bit of drizzle unless the wind sways the clouds away.

If the overs does curtail though, CSK would have an advantage as they would have lesser overs to keep hitting at a certain rate (it's tougher to keep hitting for longer time) plus spinners would have a hard time gripping the ball.

Let's hope raingods spare the city today and whichever team wins, wins without compromising the playing conditions.
