Gosh Krunal just get out and let Pollard hit it out :facepalm:

D Bravo is such an amazing bowler with all those slower balls and yorkers.
 
Brilliant comeback from Bravo. Bringing all his experience into place. He might be past his prime, but still one of the best T20 players around.

Tahir is fine. Always need a leggie in LO. I don't understand why Billings was selected at all when Rayaudu can keep and bat and there is enough top order players .

Faf could have played if you wanted an extra batsmen. Bravo is past his best. Should have signed a younger all rounder. More than enough talent for T20 cricket than sticking with Bravo.

Well I would have played Karn Sharma instead who's also a leggie and played Faf up top as an opener (who's still a class bat across all formats). I think Bravo has still got it, but is past his best. Could have signed younger options was the story of the auction for CSK.

Mark Wood has had a complete stinker.
 
165 :facepalm: with 6 wickets still remaining. WTH, Pandya bros just cost MI this match.

Man i couldnt care if Bravo plays for Windies or not, but tonight he made mockery out of Pandya bros. They both are glorified hacks with the bat

Krunal was ok.. this guy Hardik. Not sure what he has been doing. We don’t need him rest of the season. Already lost this game.

He is definition of what mediocrity means. Hack with the bat, and dont even get me started on his bowling :facepalm: We should’ve retained Butler instead of K Pandya.

Hardik should be benched, but i doubt he would. He is somehow become face of MI with doing absolute Zilch. He is one lucky player, he is being treated as superstar with such mediocre record :facepalm: Nitish Rana was much better player than this Hack for us last season.
 
Bravo made a fool of Yuvraj singh in his peak in the last over as well. Credit to Bravo. Doesn't make Yuvi a less of a batsman. He is a well known pro death bowler.

Do you even watch IPL? Krunal was brilliant with the ball and bat throughout the last season and also played a crucial role in the final. Buttler was poor despite playing at the top and had to be dropped finally at the end for Simmons. Don't post just for the sake of it.

He compensated against Mark wood. That is how T20 goes. You don't hit every bowler. Some bowlers can have a good day just like some batsmen can have a good day.

You also DONT play 3 Dot Balls in final overs of the game when your team have big hitter coming after you. IF he couldn’t hit it then get out and let someone else take it. Its not that MI were collapsing and were running out of batsmen. But still i cant get it, 3 dot balls in an over SMH
 
Jusr like the last season, Hardik will be a flow show this season too and his brother will steal the lime light only to get sidelined for internationals later in the year. But Mr Swag will continue concentrating on his hair styles and fancy endorsements and forget Cricket but will still find a place in Internationals because he's the next Kapil Dev.

This.

I dont get it what has H Pandya seriously achieved anything to be superstar :facepalm:


Now we come to a point where a mediocre players are being treated as some next big thing.

@Bhaagvirubhaag was right all along about him. Medicore at best.

Even he was better than Buttler. These English players contribute zilch to the IPL. IPL better get more domestic Australian players rather than English internationals.

Are U talking about IPL? I dint follow IPL that much . Wasn't he one of best performer against Aus in ODI series? Champions trophy ?
 
CSK fav to win from here. Unless Dhoni comes up plays his familiar tuck tuck knock, match is over for us.
 
Not sure what was MI's strategy here at Wankhade - 165 for 4 down is like scoring 243-4 in a 50 over game. MSD is again at his best of chocking teams to under per scores with wickets at hand. Don't think with Mumbai dew and that target, Mustafiz is going to much. MI is short in bowling here - Bumrah and Mustafiz's 8 overs are not enough for that target.

I mean in General. Yes he comes up with brilliance here and there but far too inconsistent to be considered future.

In IPL he is let says 12th man for the opposition :smith
 
I must say Bumrah have really learned alot under Shane Bond. Really transformed him into Worldclass bowler.

Wish we could’ve Shane Bond as our bowling coach for team India as well.
 
This Markhande kids looks good find for MI and possibly India as well.

very similar to Chahal
 
Now it’s even Steven. My man dhoni is here. Want him to play at least 5 dot before his first single.
 
Markande looks very good find i guess he should have similar debut year as Rashid Khan had year ago.

Dhoni is a key man, if gets in the groove he can smack some outta the park. Jadhav on the other hand needs to bat as long as possible for us to have a chance hehe

If Indian batsmen can't pick the spin means the guy is good. Maybe he is quite new that's why but he looks impressive to me at first sight.

While he plays spin generally well , Jadhav just doesn't pick wrist spinners well.

If he can turn he will keep picking wickets. It will depend how economical he can be upon his experience and his skills. But These days leggies work too good in LOIs
