Bumrah bouncer to Warner.

Bumrah bouncer to Warner.

Bumrah chilling in dugout whole match. Why spend yourself for nothing?

 

[Ab Fan]

SRH are the only team that can beat MI in a big match. Hence, MI should not rest Boom-Boom today otherwise they may have to suffer terribly.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Bumrah chilling in dugout whole match. Why spend yourself for nothing?

I don't mind us losing the Aussie test series but I just really want to see them bloodied up again especially Warner and Smith for cheating in the past. It can certainly happen.

 

[Rajdeep]

Last league match of IPL. Kinda feeling sad as have developed a habbit of catching up a game every afternoon.

Good thing is, there is another IPL in 5 months time

 

[King_Kohli]

I prefer KKR over SRH.

 

[Hasan123]

I would prefer for SRH to qualify but I think MI will win as they are a better team and will want to keep the momentum up.

 

[MenInG]

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Quinton de Kock(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Ishan Kishan, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Rahul Chahar, James Pattinson, Dhawal Kulkarni

Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Ab Fan]

So, Rohit Sharma is fit and playing but why is he not selected for Australia tour??

 

[Rana]

So, Rohit Sharma is fit and playing but why is he not selected for Australia tour??

He’s forcing himself through

 

[JattMaula]

So, Rohit Sharma is fit and playing but why is he not selected for Australia tour??

Daal Mein Kuch kaala Hai!

Either rohit is not fit and is rushing himself or team was selected without proper fitness test and/or expert consultation.

 

[silentkiller187]

So, Rohit Sharma is fit and playing but why is he not selected for Australia tour??

Because Kohli has no say in the Mumbai indians team selection

 

[Ab Fan]

Daal me kuch kaala nahi, lagta hai poori daal kaali hai!

I guess we will get our answers whether he is fit or forcing himself through after today's match.

But the conflict point remains the same that if as per today's date, he is fit enough to play for MI, 3 weeks later he must be fit enough to play for India and in case he will not then he shouldn't be playing the IPL.

Even if not 3 weeks as per Indian cricket team fitness standards, if he is fit after 6 weeks, he should have still be in the squad.

 

[King_Kohli]

Dhawal Kulkarni is in the MI team today.
DID YOU KNOW: Dhawal Kulkarni played in MI’s first ever IPL match in 2008
- Dhawal Kulkarni is the only pacer to take a wicket in every single IPL edition so far. If he can take one today the record will hold.

 

[King_Kohli]

Rohit vs Sandeep (IPL):
Seven innings
35 runs
Three dismissals
SR 92.11

Sandeep Sharma to Rohit, out Caught by Warner! Immature stuff by Sharma!

 

[Ab Fan]

Because Kohli has no say in the Mumbai indians team selection

So, if Kohli has set certain fitness standards and Rohit is not qualifying for that, then former has this much say that he will adjuge Rohit as "injured" for a tour which will end 3 months later. I see a conversation gap there.

That's really a big call.

 

[King_Kohli]

In IPL
Sandeep Sharma = Bumrah

Stats are similar.

if only politics was that straightforward my friend.

 

[King_Kohli]

Most wickets in Powerplay in IPL 2020:
12 Trent Boult
10 Jofra Archer
9 Sandeep Sharma
8 Pat Cummins

 

[King_Kohli]

Most wickets Picked in Powerplay
Sandeep Sharma - 53*
Zaheer Khan - 52
Bhuvneshwar - 48

 

[Ab Fan]

SKY should play ahead of Iyer in T20s in Indian team.

 

[King_Kohli]

Surya kumar catch dropped.

 

[King_Kohli]

No turn, pitch is flat.

 

[Ab Fan]

MI bowling is weak today, this is a great chance for SRH to maximize their chance.

 

[King_Kohli]

This is the first time this season MI have lost their fifth wicket inside 100 runs

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Ishan Kishan is a better batsman than Rishab Pant. Kishan deserves a chance at least in T20's.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sun Risers have bowled well here

 

[Justcrazy]

Pollard can make a difference of 20 runs if he stays on here

 

[Ab Fan]

SRH are winning this. Will be an easy chase in 2nd inning against a MI attack without Bumrah- Boult.

 

[Justcrazy]

MI seven down for 116

16 balls to go.

Pollard can get them to 150 from here

 

[King_Kohli]

Ishan Kishan is a better batsman than Rishab Pant. Kishan deserves a chance at least in T20's.

They should have picked him instead of Dhawan.

 

[King_Kohli]

Sandeep Sharma took the wicket of Rohit, De kock, Ishan - three from top 4 in the virtual quarter final for SRH. One of the consistent ever in IPL history.

 

[RamLakhan]

Bye bye KKR (And also RCB later against this Red Hot SRH - they may reach finals as well!)

 

[King_Kohli]

Lol
NataRajan getting belt treatment

 

[Justcrazy]

41 from 24 balls

Pollard

 

[Justcrazy]

150 runs is the target for Sun Risers

 

[RamLakhan]

One thing is sure, SRH do not have any choking instinct, they usually lose a match only based on their inabilities... So they will start favorites for this chase and also one of the favorites to win the title...

 

[Justcrazy]

Saha and warner to start the proceedings for Risers here

 

[Ab Fan]

RCB has 0% chance of winning vs SRH in a big match must-win game.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers need 94 runs in 84 balls. RRR: 6.71

They are motoring along here

 

[Justcrazy]

Saha has improved his batting a lot. He is striking at a solid pace , KKR should have looked to get him.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers need 65 runs in 63 balls. RRR: 6.19

 

[Rana]

RCB has 0% chance of winning vs SRH in a big match must-win game.

RCB had no chance anyways mate.

 

[Rana]

Do i sense KKR are out now?

 

[Ab Fan]

RCB had no chance anyways mate.

3-4% chance vs KKR but 0% vs SRH.

Yes, KKR are out.

 

[King_Kohli]

SRH won by 10 wickets.. chased down 150 in 17.1 overs without any loss.
RCB will play eliminator against SRH..

God bless you @RCBTweets

 

[gani999]

Well done SRH. In the playoffs for a fifth year in a row.

SRH is vastly underrated by IPL fans. They're miles ahead of the overhyped KKR and KXIP.

 

[Smbhayi]

In IPL
Sandeep Sharma = Bumrah

Stats are similar.

He's a very good new ball bowler.. has been excellent for SRH for over the years..

 

[King_Kohli]

He's a very good new ball bowler.. has been excellent for SRH for over the years..

Many big players struggled against him.

Bumrah: 90 games, 105 wickets
Sandeep: 90 games, 108 wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers won by 10 wickets

 

[MenInG]

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent win for SRH. They are the underdogs for the play offs but they have momentum and can't be ruled out.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Lol what's funny is sunrisers are missing their best bowler aka Bhuvi Kumar who is world class bowler in tests and T20.

Sunrisers are a very underrated strong side.

 

[Ab Fan]

Sunrisers went to finals in 2018 season without Warner. Kane Williamson was leading that team, this is a very underrated side. They have a great ability to defend even lower totals and over last 4-5 years has been the best bowling unit in IPL.

 

[MP2011]

They have a great ability to defend even lower totals and over last 4-5 years has been the best bowling unit in IPL.

A lot of that got to do with Rashid Khan. I would never understand why batsmen find him hard to read. He bowls just gun barrel straight most of the times!

 

[RamLakhan]

It is better RCB just withdraws the playoffs!

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Lol what's funny is sunrisers are missing their best bowler aka Bhuvi Kumar who is world class bowler in tests and T20.

Sunrisers are a very underrated strong side.

Bhuvi WAS a great T20 bowler till 2017. Lost it after his injuries. On current form, Sandeep Sharma is better, a very consistent IPL performer. Blessing in disguise for SRH
