IPL Match 48-Chennai Super Kings VS Kolkata Knight Riders

[SaiSrini]

@ Pranav: Not getting in here???:laugh SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, Dada's team is brutally smacked here!!!!

What a game, this is turning out to be a stunner! Raina is blasting it, Murali Vijay is giving him the top support he needs. Chennai bowled superbly to keep KKR to that kind of a total. This is almost turning out to be the most perfect game for Chennai in the tournament. I guess my bad feeling last night was completely unneeded.

SKR - :hpraise:hpraise:hpraise WHAT A PLAYER!!! Please keep improving upon your short ball problem. If you do that, you will be a beast of a player in international cricket. Yusuf Pathan, who cares, you are the man!

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

We will loose again today :laugh :laugh

 

[SaiSrini]

Murali Vijay - :hpraise:banana2:hpraise Boy, this IPL has completely transformed you! You have now made people sit up and take notice of you in a big way. Mind blowing!

If Chennai win this in the next 3 overs, their net run rate is going to shoot up like anything (already Delhi have made it bad for themselves by losing badly to Mumbai). If Chennai win here, they are No.3 (wait wait, we could just manage to topple Bangalore's net run rate and become NO.2 behind Mumbai).

 

[Varun]

Chennai wins. Amazing batting by Raina!! And Vijay too!

 

[Aussie Team]

200 Strike Rate from Raina!
Thats Excellent from a Batsman

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Hahaha ........... We lost :laugh Don't worry Punjab, we will take your position very soon

 

[SaiSrini]

Vijay and Raina plunder KKR and push them very close to elimination. Now KKR need to rely on other team's performance to make it to the semifinals. What a match! We rock!

Want to see what CSK's net run rate would be. Have they upstaged Bangalore +0.343? Hope so. The NRR will be very crucial because if teams are tied on 7 points, it will decide the semifinalist.

 

[Varun]

Chennai are on second position now!

 

[Gaurav_7]

CSK is at 2nd spot now. Though I wanted KKR to win today, but well played CSK!

 

[deathrevenge9]

So,can KKR make it to the semi's now??

 

[King Cricket]

Now KKR need to rely on other team's performance to make it to the semifinals.

You still think we are gonna make it to the semi-finals? Even if we do win our remaining matches and even if the teams who are currently in the race for the semis perform badly in their next two games, we won't proceed to the next stage, courtsey our horrible run rate. It's probably the worst of all the eight sides. We're out of the tournament. That's the bitter truth.

 

[SaiSrini]

Yes, we did it! We are No.2 right now because of this mammoth win! All teams have exactly played 12 games till now, and the fact that we are No.2 after equal games feels so good. If Chennai win one more game, they should be through because their net run rate is quite high. But I would feel very happy if they beat Delhi in the next game (which is a home game again).

Not worst. KKR have done far far better than last time around in South Africa. But their problem has been big inconsistency. Once they play like tigers, next they play like puppies. They are almost like how Pakistan often does.

Ishant will be laughing at the moment

 

[Gurjot95]

KKR is the most overrated team for all the IPL's. That's also a truth.

KKR is the most overrated team for all the IPL's. That's also a truth.

They are not overrated. Look at their squad. It is just they have performed well below their potential. Also, changing the playing XI almost every match doesn't help.
