[JaDed]

Lets see how the Flat Bully performs on his fav ground,he seems to look disinterested in playing cricket nowadays not sure what's wrong.

 

[carrom_ball]

Hate both teams, hate SRK even more, so my support will be with MI

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

KKR all the way.

Hated MI from its inception.

 

[carrom_ball]

The practice kit of MI is so much better than their main kit, when will the team owners hire someone competent to pick the right jerseys

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Supporting MI today. Cant stand Gautam Gambhir and I will never support KKR until they do justice to Kuldeep Yadav and give him a game.

KKR needs to select shakib. Otherwise they have no chance of winning against MI.

What is this?

A Kolkata fellow not supporting KKR.

Gambhir is a tool but KKR is an awesome side.

Its the most balanced side in IPL.

 

[Sandeep]

I hate both the teams. But will support KKR for Uthappa!

 

[street cricketer]

Never knew MI and KKR had this many haters. Thought we were leading the charts

Except Bangaloreans who have this "imaginary" rivalry with us no one really hates CSK,its second team for everyone in Bihar,Jharkhand.

 

[JaDed]

Southee brought in.bowling decent for now,some movement.

 

[JaDed]

In last 13 games at home it seems KKR has been defeated only once.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandey , Russel , Yusuf all three wasted down the order

 

[Justcrazy]

19 after 3 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Uttappa gone

Yup. I have seen many Delhiites and even Pakistanis living in the gulf supporting CSK. I said that because one used to hear a lot of "CSK quota" comments in the past whenever Dhoni selected Ashwin and Jadeja for the Indian team..

 

[Justcrazy]

Gambhir looking good

38 / 1 after 5

Overall mass at national level - not many haters.

Online - LOTS of haters.

CSK is one of the most hated teams.

It hurts to see MI owning us the last few years.

They should be pounded and put in their place.

For some reason, I don't feel bad when KKR beats us.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR are wasting there big hitters down the order , poor strategy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandey hammers pandya

Haters are usually good means we are doing well,I don't care about MI and KKR but MI defn is not a great team they are somehow doing well -Pandya is going to be carted this season imo and probably fade away.

Also the haters were mostly coz the boss

We used to have big banters with Bangalore fellas.

Always they talk a big game and then go missing when its time for action.

Something like this. Mallya you beauty. )

[street cricketer]

This is exactly why Gambhir shouldn't be anywhere near the Indian team.

 

[carrom_ball]

What happened?

 

[carrom_ball]

Manish Pandey (virat kohli 2.0) batting well, we'll soon have two kohlis in our team

 

[street cricketer]

What happened?

Wasted many balls and after a long time, he has hit a six now..

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Manish Pandey (virat kohli 2.0) batting well, we'll soon have two kohlis in our team

He is clutch but doesn't have the game awareness of Kohli.

 

[street cricketer]

We should fast track Sarfaraz into the team as well. Then we will have a Kohli, a mini Kohli and a junior Kohli

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR should target at least 180 from here

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ricky Ponting on air says Simmons is ruled out of the tournament and Martin Guptill has been called in as a replacement.

Oh god...these Mumbai Indians always get a very aggressive opener in between the tournament and get stronger.

Dwayne Smith
Lendl Simmons
Martin Guptill

 

[Justcrazy]

for gambhir

 

[Justcrazy]

118 / 1

7 overs left.

KKR need to get another 80 runs from here

 

[anuk]

Pandey reminds me of that Tamil nadu FC player who played for decades but only got a few games for india. He also played for csk I think.

How convenient! The very reason I hate Mumbai Indians after Sachin's exit.. They think they can get away from anything..

Expect Guptill to fail, Mumbai to trade him to Punjab/Gujarat and he will blaze away next season )

Badrinath?

 

[anuk]

Badrinath?

Yup him.

 

[Sandeep]

Yup him.

Badri was more a classical orthodox player. Nothing like Pandey..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandey gone

 

[JattMaula]

IPL fans hate MI like international fans hate BCCI or team india.

Everything just works for them. Even injury to a main player brings even better player in who mysteriously wasn't picked in auction.

 

[Indian_Supporter]

There is an earthquake in Kolkata today. How are they playing?

Russell is looking good , KKR need to go hard now , plenty of wickets in hand

 

[aniket1911]

Nobody hits flat sixes as often as Russell.
Shear power !
strong stout player and efficacious in bringing impetus to KKR batting fire-power.

They are playing well. I think they will score 200+.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gambhir is killing the momentum here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Russell

 

[Justcrazy]

Russell gone

 

[Justcrazy]

170 / 3

18 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Gambhir gone . MI pulling things back here

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR would be disappointed , last couple of overs were slow.

 

[Justcrazy]

188 is the target

 

[IslamabadUnited]

188 target!

 

[Justcrazy]

Russell starting the proceedings

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharama !!!

 

[IslamabadUnited]

Man Brad Hogg is something,this is mind blowing stuff he is just 2 years younger than Waqar.

 

[JaDed]

Two players i despise at the crease right now,incidentally both play for MI

correction a year elder to Waqar

 

[JaDed]

Dada not able to take the match lol ,Kuldeep Yadav comes in lets see.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Look at Hogg go at the age of 45. He's sprinting around the park like a 25 year old!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Don't understand Mumbai sending up Pandya at 3 again.

Buttler, Pollard and Rayuddu as 3, 4 and 5 was better having Pandya at 6.

 

[JaDed]

Spin has stopped MI's RR

 

[JaDed]

Gambhir about to explode lol.

 

[street cricketer]

Nice way to up the run rate by Sharma..

 

[JaDed]

Pandya as usual rubbish!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another waste of the No.3 spot by Mumbai

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mumbai we all are confused LOL!

 

[JaDed]

Remember MI doing a similar mistake against CSK long ago in some final -keeping Pollard till end and the match was over lol.

Heard from some indian fellow that he is super star in IPL so may be that's why
