RR 9/0 (1) CRR: 9
Rajasthan Royals opt to bat

 

[Rajdeep]

Steve Smith gone for nothing score again. Is he on a downward curve as well like Kohli or what?

 

[Rajdeep]

Now Butler gone...excellent 1st ball from Saini.

 

[Smbhayi]

So Sanju was out due to soft signal is out.. great..

 

[Rana]

RR batsmen missing the 30 yard inner circle boundaries of Sharjah

 

[Mesozoic]

RR are gonna finish second last after CSK.

They're basically Butler, Archer or bust.

Babar’s time has arrived.

 

[JattMaula]

So Sanju was out due to soft signal is out.. great..

Finger underneath the ball. It was out all day.

And this type of soft dismissals when the team needed him to bat on after losing openers early is why Sanju is an unreliable bat.

What is Utthappa doing in middle order? His time is over. Shift smith to 4 and bring Jaiswal back to open or even Vohra if jaiswal is too green.

Similar to yesterday SRH position.
Two youngsters in crease in middle.

Stokes joined, he will play after 1 week.

 

[King_Kohli]

Washington Sundar completes with 0/20 4 overs.. Very economical

Well 3rd umpire gives that out due to soft signal is out.. otherwise he'd give benifit of doubt to batsman.. and I'm not only talking about this one.. both soft call and umpires call should taken out of the equation..

 

[King_Kohli]

Yuzvendra Chahal - 4-0-24-3. Another fine spell from the leggie.

 

[Rajdeep]

What a legend Tewatia is. Biggest find on this year's IPL.

 

[King_Kohli]

155 Target

 

[Rana]

Decent score for the Shaky RCB batters to chase

What a legend Tewatia is. Biggest find on this year's IPL.

so many talents. I don't even know who we will pick to be honest.

I want to see saini in tests. He can actually bat too.

as for batting, tewatia, priyam Garg, jaiswal, paddikal....and a few others. ridiculously good talents.

not to mention Shaw etc. gill needs to work on facing express pace. he struggles there. Maybe a bit more practice will help.

Then we have nagarkoti and mavi who are getting better slowly.

Saini can't bat. Though he can hold a bat unlike Chahal or Bumrah.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Saini can't bat. Though he can hold a bat unlike Chahal or Bumrah.

he can bat in odi's. he is decent. He can add and clear boundaries. He has good power and hand eye coordination for a bowler.

He will be an excellent support bowler in tests. Not sure if he can lead though.

 

[Smbhayi]

Tewatia as of now very good leg side (midwicket) slogger.. he'll miss most of the deliveries if it's wide of the off stump..

 

[King_Kohli]

Devdutt Padikkal

 

[MenInG]

RR 154/6 (20)
RCB 71/1 (8.4) CRR: 8.19 REQ: 7.41
Royal Challengers Bangalore need 84 runs in 68 balls

 

[MMHS]

This Paddikal kid looks like a T20 specialist- his stats are upside down - almost unreal in T20, very good in List A, poor in FC cricket.

 

[King_Kohli]

20 year old boy,Season debutant.
3 fifties in 4 matches.

Devdutt Padikkal
First player to hit three 50+ scores in first four matches in IPL

His scores so far:
56(42) v SRH Dubai
1(2) v KXIP Dubai
54(40) v MI Dubai
53(34)* v RR Abu Dhabi

last year was kind of break out for him.. in Ranji as well he was decent.
Looks good. Needs couple of more seasons like this and he will replace Dhawan.

He is not ready yet, can't play express fast

 

[Rana]

Tewatia is the most one dimensional ‘find’ of the tournament

His batting is very much leg side concentrated
His leg spin naturally drifts down towards leg nearly every ball.

Not an international cricketer IMO

 

[King_Kohli]

I am damnn happy after long time.
Nice to see Virat is back in touch.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

He is not ready yet, can't play express fast

also he looks tired now. I guess UAE heat is kind of new and endurance test for him. But he is along with best in the business to learn about that.
Offcourse he will not be selected based on IPL performances. He needs couple of good seasons in domestic.
But talent is there and how he has got exposure. Lets see how he goes.

his leg side hoicks remind me a lot of Asif Ali.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Not an international cricketer IMO

Absolutely. Just a bits and pieces cricketer even for this format.

 

[JattMaula]

Tewatiya is one of those players who are good enough for a specific role for a domestic team but nowhere near the international level.

 

[JattMaula]

He is not ready yet, can't play express fast

And quality swing. He will face plenty of medium pace swing in ranji. Upto him to step up if wants to play at the highest level.

Natarajan is not youngsta beauty but he may still get higher honour. We don't have many decent left arm pacers.
