IPL 2018 | April 25 | Day 19 | Discussion Thread

Played Rayudu.

Never rated him but he was impressive tonight.
 
This guy Kohli is truly becoming Bhuban - he has to win it by himself, or not. He can't get it done by his players. Couldn't defend 134 in 11 overs with 4 down!!!!!!

He can’t do a zilch against international class bowlers in t20’s..he will be pure waste of space

How can you defend Anderson bowling 4 and Sundar 1? He had 2 bowlers bowling for 3/49 of 8; and still couldn't defend 156 of 12!!! Hardly any Indian team ever will have the luxury of 5, or even 4 top performing bowlers - it's always been couple of strikers at most 3, and then score board pressure - today he had the strike, he had the asking up and he had 205 on score board ...... and ended up with Anderson & Siraj bowling the last overs!!!!!
 
Harsha Bhogle rightfully addressing MSD as "master of heartbeat".

Anderson bowling at the end was a mistake.

Who would you have preferred instead of Anderson to bowl the last over?
 
MSD seems to be in good nick. The Punjab game was very close as well
 
Kohli is a terrible tactician. A lot to learn before the WC 2019.
 
Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore - looks like Indian top 3 cities are not going to make it this time. RCB is the real surprise - they added Sunder as well this year and that batting ....... Delhi is cursed, somehow they find a way not to make it; while MI still might pull it off - it can't go worse from last game.
 
Look like Anderson won't get anymore games in this season, he wasn't firing at all.
 
Virat should look at gambhir and step down as captain asap. One of the worst captain i have seen till date.
 
RCB needs an inspirational captain if they have to win the IPL otherwise will remain as specialists in terms entertainment only.
 
Rayudu hit 8 sixes in this match .... never thought I would see a day like this. Great win by CSK and very well played MSD.
 
Heartbroken Kohli calling what his bowlers did a ‘criminal offence’. It was actually. He persisted with pace to get him wickets or to at least bowl a defensive line and they didn’t deliver.

I think Corey Anderson was given the ball because of his experience. But he couldn’t hit the right length. Don’t know why he asked Negi to bowl though.

I won't have come into a situation where, I had to choose between a part-timer, a loose cannon and a rookie to bowl the last 2/3 overs.

74/4 went high in Kohli's head - he was preparing for his podium speech. In T20, you are never out of a game, unless absolute one sider - I can tell that on identical situation, MS would have finished his odd overs quickly and played a cat & mouse game with chasing side, who are under much more stress with 4 down and a asking of 12 for 11 overs (he knew who is odd for the game, not necessarily it has to be best 2 bowlers on paper).

he has a h*** of heart TBH, too many tight finishes in his career.

He is past his peak and might still continue to lose matches in international arena where bowling class will be of higher level.

However, he has nerves of steel and is a master in crunch situation. Hence, in tight chases, he will always be a big fear for opposition irrespective of the fact that he may be done as a batsmen.
 
Dumb captain kohli and dumber vettori still hurting rcb and fans with their pathetic choices.
Corey Anderson is a part timer and here he is playing the role of death bowler.

Losing coulter nile before ipl was a big blow for rcb but they had a choice to pick quality death bowler like tom curran or brilliant power play bowler willey but they choose poor Corey Anderson.
 
Anderson lost the game for rcb...killed the momentum in batting by consuming maiden over..abd gone for that risky shot only because of the previous over which was maiden...Nd his bowling was utter rubbish in the death overs..and umesh drop catch didn’t help either..
 
Dhoni played a rare Gem. Good innings from him today.

RCB needs to do something about their bowling lineup.
 
Kohli is such a dumb captain. He is so worried about Umesh’s bowling in death overs, why was he so brave in giving Anderson bowling in death overs. Seriously.. dumbest captain I have seen. Wash8ngton bowled only one over when chahAl was threatening on the other end. I have no issues today as I was support8ng CSK. But I didn’t want Dhoni to play this inn8ngs and take up Indian teams wk position for next 2 yrs. now he is set until WC. There goes out WC.

There is a clear change in his attitude now. Now he is ok to hit out and get out in the beginning itself. Earlier he was leaving it too late.

peoples complains about India's middle order, and peoples complains about Dhoni. Dhoni's finishing ability was in question, not his batting or his keeping. India don't have no. 4 ATM and Dhoni can bat there. and I'd have a better WK than a avg WK batsman.

Ground was small. He can back himself here. On larger grounds, he will get caught at long on, extra cover etc.
 
Another Great Match.Rayadu has been best batsmen for csk.Dhoni played another quality knock.

Hopefully Rcb wins next match and stay in competition.
