Hmm.. that's very courageous. KXIP lost 5 matches in a row and you have placed your bet on them. Anyway.. it's T20 cricket. So much unpredictability is there. I have gone with the RCB, but still there are two factors that may favor you. The first one is that RCB itself is a very unpredictable team. There is no consistency in their performance. And secondly, this match takes place in Sharjah, and the boundaries are very short there. And also, toss is going to play a very crucial role today as well.

To be honest I also supporting RCB today. But I will enjoy today's match very much that others. Basically, I am very curious to see Chris Gayle's performance today. Also, I will enjoy Virat Kohli AB de Villiers playing. In one word most of my favorite players are playing.  I will be very happy if RCB can score 190-200  .

After 4.2 overs KXIP made 40-0 but i really astonished that Chris Gayle is not opening for the 3rd time in his whole IPL career.RCB needs wicket to take control in this match or KXIP can easily win the match.

Haha, I was waiting for AB, First I thought maybe he will come after 2 wickets mean after Kohli. But see other one to come battting. again thought maybe this time, again NO AB. then see he come to bat in at 6. This wait and expectation turned into sad when I see AB go back with only 2 runs.

Again I am waiting for Gayle.... Maybe will not see him to batting in this match  

edit: atleast Gayle come after one wicket gone. let's see

Outstanding Chris Gayle and K.L Rahul. Finally seeing him on the pitch again. KXIP it's too late now bring back Chris Gayle, they should do it before. The fans have waited for a long time to see the real entertainer of cricket and he has satisfied us all today. Congratulations KXIP as to be winning side by 8 wickets.

The reason Kohli said about sending Washington Sundar and Shivam Dube ahead of AB de Villiers is to keep the left right combination which was dumb as AB de Villiers could score much faster than any of these players in the team.

Chris Gayle played well but i do not think he is really fit and the ground was small and if he could perform the same in bigger grounds then he will be an asset but i think it is too late for them.

Having left-right combination is good, but that doesn't mean that you should send in lower order batsmen at no. 3 or no.4. Both Sundar and Dube struggled against the bowling and they chewed up a lot of balls, leaving Kohli frustrated at the other end. And I couldn't notice any impact of the left-right combo on the bowlers (Ravi Bishnoi/ Murugan Ashwin). They bowled very tidely, without any error.

Gayle played really well but still he is not completely fit on the field as far as I know that is the biggest concern why he didn't included early but now they have nothing to lose, just go with the best and willing to pull mountain out of something.

KKR won the toss and they decided to bat first, captaincy change for KKR Eoin Morgan toom the responsibility since DK wants to focus more on his batting and the mystery bowler Narine dropped here. MI made one change in their side Nathan Coulter Nile comes in the place of Pattinson.MI seems much stronger as always.

MI has always been the favorite to reach the finals alongside CSK, and with such poor performance of CSK, they have no opponent in this league. Delhi too seems in solid form with a lot of options around the team. It would probably be Delhi that would fight against Mumbai in finals. While kolkata would fight for at least the playoffs, they have had a good record of playing the playoff and I guess they would be successful to achieving the 3rd or 4th position this year too.
