IPL 2018 | April 10 | Day 4 | Discussion Thread

[MMHS]

MS has regressed alarmingly, shouldn't start T20I anymore ahead of Kartik.

 

[Justcrazy]

110 from 56 balls

 

[Send1983]

"Since IPL 2013, among the 45 players who have faced at least 250 balls in the middle overs (7-15), MS Dhoni is the only player to score at less than a run-a-ball with a strike-rate of 95.30 during this stage."

He is such a overrated player.

 

[Send1983]

Lol 5 of 10 balls

 

[jagatk]

KKR need to mankad Raina

 

[WengerOut]

He is such a overrated player.

Not until 3 years ago.

 

[Protea Fan]

Billings and bravo can kill the game in no time so the longer dhoni stays better for kkr

 

[Protea Fan]

Not until 3 years ago.

He was never a good player in T-20 internationals

 

[WengerOut]

He was never a good player in T-20 internationals

Was good in IPL

 

[Justcrazy]

103 . 3

12 overs

 

[jagatk]

KKR pls don't get Dhoni out

 

[troodon]

Dhoni winning it for kkr.

 

[Rishta Aunty]

Dhoni is finished. He is single-handedly losing this game for CSK. He should just retire and not destroy his legacy.

 

[Justcrazy]

112 . 3

13 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR need to be careful here , the match is still not over

 

[WengerOut]

Dhoni is finished. He is single-handedly losing this game for CSK. He should just retire and not destroy his legacy.

I think he is half way there

 

[Justcrazy]

Good hit

 

[Justcrazy]

75 from 36 balls.

 

[jagatk]

Need to get those Curran and Vinay overs now rather than bowling Russel or narine out.

 

[MMHS]

CSK might edge past this one - 6 overs from VK & TK left

 

[jagatk]

CSK might edge past this one - 6 overs from VK & TK left

Min 2 overs left. Don't need to bowl more than that of those 2.

 

[MMHS]

Min 2 overs left. Don't need to bowl more than that of those 2.

I know still 4 overs is a lot trouble ..... when you are going at 16 & 12 per over

 

[jagatk]

Really stupid fielding placements. You need to get your best fielders at mid on mid off.

 

[jagatk]

I know still 4 overs is a lot trouble ..... when you are going at 16 & 12 per over

Not 4 just 2 if they don't want chawla bowling out then 3.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR dropping catches here

 

[Protea Fan]

Know billings can be dangerous and curran can be dud ....... lol the same is happening

 

[MMHS]

I know still 4 overs is a lot trouble ..... when you are going at 16 & 12 per over

17 of the first one - at this rate Narine might not get his last over

 

[Rishta Aunty]

I think he is half way there

Which is sad. Sub-continental cricketers do this so often.

The worst thing about how Dhoni is playing is that not everyone is him at his prime. He might have been comfortable taking the game deep and then finishing it off, but the vast majority like to go hard earlier. He's making this worse for CSK, irrespective of whether they win or not.

 

[MMHS]

May be due to dew, but IPL's closing game (last overs) are not up to over all standard - every game even tail enders are slogging 30-40 in last few overs.

 

[Protea Fan]

Sumptuous from narine,splendid spell

 

[Justcrazy]

51 from 24 balls.

 

[jagatk]

Kuldeep really needs to get this next over Right. Anything less than 10-12 and Russel will win this for KKR.

 

[DeadBall]

Kuldeep really needs to get this next over Right. Anything less than 10-12 and Russel will win this for KKR.

Maybe Bravo with reply in kind with the treatment Russel handed him.

 

[jagatk]

Injuries hurting a bit. Imagine starc instead of Curran or Cummins instead of mccleneghan.

 

[MMHS]

Sumptuous from narine,splendid spell

To be honest, Narine is chucking bluntly. His quicker straight ones are comparable to those Ajmal bowled in 2014 WC (against WI)

 

[world cup captain]

Billings is going to have to farm the strike if CSK is going to win this. Otherwise, Dhoni is simply going to lose it for them.

 

[jagatk]

Stupid karthik should have dropped it.

 

[DeadBall]

Dhoni gone, CSK have a chance now.

 

[Ted123]

Match losing inning like always.

 

[jagatk]

Good over from chawla.

 

[babajee]

Match losing inning like always.

Dhoni is turning into Sachin.

 

[Sam99]

Narine to Dhoni in IPL Till date:
51 balls, 25 runs, no fours, no sixes, no dismissals, SR 49.01

Dhoni needs to rethink for worldcup 2019 and work on something new.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai Super Kings require another 41 runs with 6 wickets and 17 balls remaining

 

[troodon]

Amazing innings from the finisher. Scores 26(28) when the required rate is over 12.

This guy is supposed to win wc for India as a finisher.

 

[Savage]

Typical Dhoni

 

[world cup captain]

Was Billings injured or did he go unsold for PSL? He was on the squad for Islamabad last year.

 

[jagatk]

Csk's to lose now

 

[Hasan123]

Was Billings injured or did he go unsold for PSL? He was on the squad for Islamabad last year.

Our squad was strong he wasn't needed. He was avaliabe after England vs New Zealand LO series finished.

 

[Smbhayi]

Jadeja's batting deteriorated a lot. he's struggling for timing.

 

[Protea Fan]

India will be exposed badly if he will keep for upcoming wc

Their are atleast 5 or 6 better wicket keepers than him are their in the country

 

[Hasan123]

Well played by Billings so far. Hope he takes us home.

 

[jagatk]

Fans know that can the selectors see it.

 

[Ab Fan]

Why did they send Jadeja ahead of Bravo?

 

[Hasan123]

What an innings by Billings.

 

[jagatk]

Stupid blind umpires

 

[Justcrazy]

Big wicket , more importantly dot ball.

 

[Hasan123]

Why did they send Jadeja ahead of Bravo?

Lol probably for left/right combination. That's the only reason I can think off .

 

[Ab Fan]

Brilliant inning by Billings.

 

[Hasan123]

Come on Bravo take us home.

 

[Ab Fan]

Lol probably for left/right combination. That's the only reason I can think off .

Scoring runs fast is more important here or maintaining left-hand combination lol.

 

[Justcrazy]

19 from 8 balls.

 

[Hasan123]

17 off 6.

 

[jagatk]

Don't care who wins great match either way

 

[jagatk]

How big will those Curran balls in 20th over cost kkr

 

[Justcrazy]

17 from 6 balls.

 

[Hasan123]

Scoring runs fast is more important here or maintaining left-hand combination lol.

Agreed. Bizarre decision.

 

[Protea Fan]

Vinay kumar bowling so csk still has a chance

 

[Ab Fan]

Vinay kumar lol.

 

[jagatk]

**** me Vinay Kumar is going to finish it. How stupid is this

 

[Hasan123]

Bravo is a champion

 

[jagatk]

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different result.

 

[Hasan123]

KKR should ditch Vinay after this match.

 

[Hasan123]

CSK game from here.

 

[Protea Fan]

lol how this guy is world standard

a huge no ball followed by a half volley though bravo missed it

 

[jagatk]

Good thing that learning the Indian swear words.

 

[Justcrazy]

Six of no ball , poor bowling

 

[Justcrazy]

Vinay is useless bowler , leaks too many runs.

 

[Hasan123]

Embarrassing how this trundler is still selected.

 

[Ab Fan]

Jadeja should not take strike now.

 

[CanadianG00se]

Legendary Vinay Kumar winning it for CSK

I hope KKR management realizes how useless of a player he is and discard him forever. Why the heck they dont play Mavi/Nagarkoti for this useless trundler. They deserve to lose
