Frankly speaking, I really doubt if CSK could chase the target tonight! CSK batting lineup has huge experience but little substance. The combine age of the CSK openers is 75 (36+35)!!

Apart from Faf Du Plessis, we cannot expect blazing performances from rest of the batting lineup in every game. All the rest are just 2-3 games wonders. Dhoni promoting Sam Curran above him in last game shows he's not fully confident to come and hit. He needs 20-25 balls to get adapted to this season which I think would bring CSK in danger tonight because target is big. However, I picked CSK for 'comfortable' win. Let see how it goes.

PS: I have decided to give sportbet.one a try. I will deposit on the platform tomorrow and make rest of my IPL bets there.

CSK need 57 of 17 runs. While Faf is making some effort to get boundaries MSD is going for singles and dots   I picked CSK to win this match but looks like I'm not going to get any points. The only point I got is from yesterday's default pick   So far it's been a disappointment


Did they add IPL matches yet? 2 days back when I checked they didn't support it.

Well I was sure of getting the win point but wasn't sure of getting the margin point but Faf and Dhoni have ensured that I get the margin point too.   Dhoni could have taken the match to their side if he had taken some less time to settle in. I don't know why he has made a habit of coming on number 7. Either he is not too confident about himself or he is over confident about rest of the team. He should have atleast played ahead of Kedhar Jadhav. But primarily that quicky from Jofra Archer at the end has made all the difference in this match. on the CSK side absolutely Dhoni himself is responsible for this loss.

Only a couple of sixes in those 13 balls would have done things for CSK. Curran was still a good option to promote but Gaikwad and Jadhav?? If Dhoni knew he needs some time to set in then he should have come at number 5.

I'm officially a "Panoti" in this IPL. Lol, in last 4matches every team lost which I have selected. Ha ha. Is there any price for becoming last?  lol

Actually blames on him came after he had hit three sixes in the last over. The fact that he played pretty calmly in start of his innings and even in the 19th Over and strangely starts hitting sixes in the 20th over is the reason why people are blaming him but yes there could be another link to this that in the last over bowler might be bowling some loose balls himself knowing the fact that they have already won the match. But yes he can't be solely blamed for the defeat. You can't forget Ngidi's half century which helped RR win

By the way @Haunebu did you reported a post of mine? why was my post on this thread deleted?

Haha Please tell me the team you are choosing tomorrow? that might help me making a decision

Lol at last I'm becoming useful here I am going with KKR today. So you should know which team you have to select now ha ha. Let's see if I can break that  losing circle. Best of luck.

Well this is going to be a tough choice for RR. David miller and buttler both are great batsmen. It's just that Miller is not in a good touch moreover it would depend on the requirements of the team. I feel they have a good top order so adding Buttler won't make a difference but he is such a good player that keeping him out just doesn't looks justified. It would be interesting to see which 4 players RR choose.
Oh that's fine nevermind. I thought I had written something wrong

Right now Rishabh Pant has cemented the position of wicket keeper batsman in the Indian T20 and ODI squads. Samson has got a good start to this IPL. If he performs like this for the remaining matches, then it will be very difficult for the selectors to ignore him. The problem is that there is fierce competition for the wicketkeeper slot. Apart from Pant and Samson, there are others such as Ishan Kishan and Ankush Bains.
