Rabada
Nortje
Ferguson
Cummins

Some serious pace out there.

 

[Rana]

DC not wasting the overs of Rabada and Nortje on Gill and Rana lol

 

[Rajdeep]

DC not wasting the overs of Rabada and Nortje on Gill and Rana lol

LOL....spoke too soon I guess :

 

[Rajdeep]

Shubhman Gill's poor run of form continues. Need to go back to domestic and should be no where near Indian team for now.

 

[Rana]

LOL....spoke too soon I guess :

By wasting I meant they are keeping them for the better and more important batsmen

 

[Rana]

Attack Tushar whilst you can!

 

[Ab Fan]

Shubhman Gill's poor run of form continues. Need to go back to domestic and should be no where near Indian team for now.

Neither should Shaw, Pant or Sanju be? Isn't it?

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Shubhman Gill's poor run of form continues. Need to go back to domestic and should be no where near Indian team for now.

More than 300 runs already, in top 10 run getters. will end up with 400+ runs in thi IPL season. That's not really 'poor run of form'.

He should be a permanent member of our Test and LOI teams. T20s, may not play yet but has done everything needed to get a run in Tests and ODIs

 

[Rana]

Sher!

Nortje is a monster! Bring on the overseas batsmen please

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Shubhman Gill's poor run of form continues. Need to go back to domestic and should be no where near Indian team for now.

He isn't a t20 batsman as of now, he should surely be a part of our test squad.
Can't judge a batsman by one ipl season

 

[Ab Fan]

Narine is a spin basher. Bring back Rabada.

 

[zain7077]

lol and a certain batsman was claiming that gill is already better than any other batsmen in Asia apart from rohit and virat

 

[Rana]

How was Tushar preferred to the left handed pace bowler in DC?

This guy is horrendous!

 

[Ab Fan]

KKR well back in the game. Bring back #Rabada.

 

[King_Kohli]

Narine and Rana steady the KKR innings with a brilliant 60*-run partnership.

 

[King_Kohli]

Last 5 overs: 62 runs

Sunil Narine v Ravi Ashwin in T20 Cricket:

15 balls
40 runs
0 wickets
Run Rate: 16.00

 

[King_Kohli]

Shubhman Gill's poor run of form continues. Need to go back to domestic and should be no where near Indian team for now.

He should select for Aus test series.

 

[King_Kohli]

Nitish Rana: 50(35)

 

[Ab Fan]

Narine has brought KKR back in contention now. Truly an IPL legend.

 

[Ab Fan]

With Morgan still to bat, even 200 is possible here.

 

[King_Kohli]

100 partnership for Rana and Narine off just 47 balls..

 

[Mesozoic]

What the hell is Iyer thinking not giving the ball to Axar even when Ashwin is getting carted all around ?

 

[Ab Fan]

Iyer missed the trick. He should have given one over to Rabada there. Narine can smash spinners for fun. With Morgan left, I wont be surprised with a 200 total from here.

 

[King_Kohli]

Ashwin to Narine in IPL
21 balls
60 runs
No dismissals
SR 285.71

 

[King_Kohli]

64 (32).. great innings from Sunil Narine...

 

[Ab Fan]

And Rabada gets Narine finally.

 

[King_Kohli]

WTH? Iyer now wants Stoinis to bowl 20th?

 

[King_Kohli]

Rabada to Morgan in IPL 2020
12 balls
43 runs
SR 358.33
2 X 4s; 5 X 6s

 

[Rana]

This is what happens when your strike pacers are not being supported with anyone half decent!

Stoinis is as useless a bowler as Neesham, Pandya, Stokes and a few other pretenders in this format.

Ashwin bowling leg spins because he is clueless

Deshpande still getting banged since the last game!

 

[Ab Fan]

Lol, Rahane

Pat Cummins strike.

 

[King_Kohli]

Cummins proving his worth.

 

[King_Kohli]

Rahane 0, Dhawan 6, Cummins - 2 for 5

 

[Ab Fan]

Some players play 360° with right balance, poise and shape. Pant is not one of them.

 

[Saj]

I watch Stoinis and most of the time wonder what the fuss is about.

 

[King_Kohli]

Some players play 360° with right balance, poise and shape. Pant is not one of them.

No one better than ABD.
1 to10 ABD.

Next comes to Buttler and KL.

 

[Rajdeep]

I watch Stoinis and most of the time wonder what the fuss is about.

Good lower order striker in t20 cricket...thats all. His Bowling is rubbish though.

 

[Smbhayi]

Narine's new action look suspicious..

 

[sindhiboy]

Cummins finally back to form

 

[King_Kohli]

Narine's new action look suspicious..

Old action better than this.

 

[King_Kohli]

Lowest strike rate in #IPL2020 (150+ balls faced):

110.50 - Finch
111.84 - Gill
118.68* - PANT
122.92 - Rayudu
124.07 - Warner

 

[King_Kohli]

In #IPL2020
Batsmen with most...
Dots: 126 - KL Rahul
1s: 173 - KL Rahul
2s: 43 - Virat Kohli
3s: 3 - Jonny Bairstow
4s: 51 - Shikhar Dhawan
5s: 1 - Ben Stokes/Quinton de Kock

[Rana]

Useless innings by Pant. Was better off getting out early!

 

[tyron_woodley]

useless pannauti panvati motu sand pant midget.

 

[tyron_woodley]

lol at shreyas gasping for air. he is tired already. none of these idiots can clear the boundary without getting tired rofl. shame on you guys.

 

[King_Kohli]

Varun Chakravarthy
2.1 overs - 10 runs - 4 wickets.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Varun Chakravarthy
2.1 overs - 10 runs - 4 wickets.

is varun good or ? every time i have seen him bowl, he has done well. he has only played 1 first class game.
he has good list A stats. his t20 stats dont seem impressive but he has done well in IPL so far.

 

[King_Kohli]

5 wickets for Chakravarthy

 

[King_Kohli]

is varun good or ? every time i have seen him bowl, he has done well. he has only played 1 first class game.
he has good list A stats. his t20 stats dont seem impressive but he has done well in IPL so far.

He is good bowler.
Neither off spinner nor leg spinner.

Mysterious bowler.

is varun good or ? every time i have seen him bowl, he has done well. he has only played 1 first class game.

I followed Varun chakarvarty in TNPL 2018 ( state T20 ). He was two level above in that tournament with overall economy of about 3.7 in that tournament with Narine like action.

Now having a very decent IPL 2020 as well. Maybe not an Indian team material as yet but all set for a solid IPL career.
