[AamchiMumbaikar]

Csk will win i guess. Jadeja and Raina are back. Shardul is now a regular in Indian xi.

Dc has few players missing. Rookie captain. Only individual brilliance can pull it for them.

 

[Devadwal]

Dc batting suit Wankhede Pitch

 

[Ab Fan]

DC will be missing Rabada, Nortje, Iyer and Axar.

 

[OldWarHorse]

DC will be missing Rabada, Nortje, Iyer and Axar.

Yeah their bowling looks quite weak for this game. Shouldnt have let go of Harshal and Sams both.

Will have to rely on Umesh today. This might just give Dhoni the ideal start to the season with the bat.

 

[Hasan123]

Seems like a good time to play DC with Axar,Rabada, and Norje out .

 

[Ab Fan]

Wrong emoji..

Dhoni vs Pant



)

 

[AMSS]

Barracking for DC like I never did for India.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

DC is quiet exciting bunch to watch. Pant, Hetmeyer, Shaw.. all of them can the game away in T20 in few overs.
Exciting match today. The Old Lions of Icy Stephen of CSK vs Ponting's Young Cubs.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

I just want Dhoni to score well in this match and then Pant to play an even better knock to win in it for DC. Passing of torch moment

 

[OldWarHorse]

Like Delhi's kit this year

 

[MenInG]

Pant: The wicket is slightly softer underneath. I'm going to be a mix of experience and youth. Good to have the first outing with Mahi bhai. Stoinis, Hetmyer, Woakes, and Tom Curran are our overseas players. We are not playing in Delhi, so we are fine.

Dhoni: We were also looking to bowl. It's cloudy, we may not get as much dew. It feels good to be back and we had some good time in terms of preparation. We'll also use some players who are in quarantine later. Faf, Moeen, Sam and Bravo are our overseas players.

 

[Devadwal]

Avesh Khan srtrke in his first over ,faf gone for duck

 

[Ab Fan]

Steve Smith not playing.

 

[Devadwal]

Woakes strike now, Gaikwad gone .what a start by DC
CSK 7/2 in 2.1 over

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Out !!!.. awful for CSK till now.

 

[Devadwal]

Steve Smith not playing.

He will play not many games

 

[Ab Fan]

2 down CSk, [MENTION=141114]Hasan123[/MENTION]

 

[Ab Fan]

He will play not many games

A player of Steve Smith calibre doesn't get to play in an IPL team tells us about the quality of IPL.

 

[Hasan123]

2 down CSk, [MENTION=141114]Hasan123[/MENTION]

Pathetic. And this not even DC best line up lol.

No Axar,Smith, Rabada,Norje,Iyer,and Ishant.

 

[Devadwal]

Avesh khan always get extra bounce .Raina & Ali not so great against short pitch bowling

 

[Hasan123]

Can’t even rotate strike.

 

[Devadwal]

Ashwin vs Ali

 

[Devadwal]

What a shot over extra Cover by Raina .he used to play such shot in past

 

[Hasan123]

Finally some intent.

 

[Hasan123]

This Tom Curran fellow needs hammering.

 

[Devadwal]

Ashwin change action in between delivery

 

[Devadwal]

CSK have lot of batting depths so they need to accelerate otherwise they will not score more than 155

 

[Devadwal]

This Tom Curran fellow needs hammering.

Tom Curran vs Sam Curran only possible in IPL

 

[Devadwal]

Ali smashing Ashwin. back to back 6

 

[Devadwal]

Ashwin get wicket of Ali .there was no need for such shots when you can hit clean six

 

[Devadwal]

Flat six over midwicket by Raina .CSK 66/3 in 9 over

 

[Bilal7]

Good innings from Moeen on his first time out. Hopefully Morgan is watching.

 

[Ab Fan]

Raina still has a lot in him.

 

[Devadwal]

Ashwin Is getting fainta

 

[Devadwal]

Ashwin 4 over 47 runs
Rest 7 over 34 runs

 

[OldWarHorse]

Pant's captaincy has been ordinary so far.

 

[Devadwal]

This is just poor bowling by Mishra .

 

[Ab Fan]

The greatest IPL batsman of all-time arrives after one year gap. Watch out for CSk this year.

 

[jiduguravindra]

The greatest IPL batsman of all-time arrives after one year gap. Watch out for CSk this year.

Wait pls... Need to see his game against pace. Poor capacity from pant not to bowl pace against raina

 

[Devadwal]

Lol DC bowling destroyed by Raina & Rayudu

 

[OldWarHorse]

Chennai will get around 220 here, way too much batting to come

 

[Devadwal]

Raina is back .50 in just 32 balls

 

[Ab Fan]

Wait pls... Need to see his game against pace. Poor capacity from pant not to bowl pace against raina

He has done it for 12 years now. Smashed a short bowl for SIX too. Certainly India's greatest IPL batsman.

 

[Devadwal]

Chennai will get around 220 here, way too much batting to come

200 max they can score

 

[Devadwal]

Jaddu ahead of Bravo ,Curran & Dhoni ?

 

[Mamoon]

Good innings from Moeen on his first time out. Hopefully Morgan is watching.

What would Morgan do by watching? He knows Moeen is not remotely comparable to any of the players that bat in the top 4-5 for England.

If he plays, it has to be in the lower-order.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Raina showing how Indian players of the past used to demolish spin.
The current generation is nowhere near in that regard

 

[jiduguravindra]

He has done it for 12 years now. Smashed a short bowl for SIX too. Certainly India's greatest IPL batsman.

Iam referring about express pace

 

[jiduguravindra]

What's jadeja complaining about, it's clearly his fault.

 

[Devadwal]

Raina unfortunately run out .But CSK still have lot of batting to come

 

[Devadwal]

Dhoni gone for duck

 

[Devadwal]

Curran vs Curran

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Dhoni gone for duck

He should seriously consider batting at no. 11 in this lineup

 

[Ab Fan]

Sam Curran is a very good cricketer and proving it again.

 

[Ab Fan]

Good signs for CSk that Thala got out on duck. They will get to 190 now.

 

[Rana]

Deepak Chahar
Sam Curran
Shardul Thakur

 

[Justcrazy]

Shaw has played a brutal knock here

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni is feeling the pressure here

 

[Hasan123]

Shaw looks in great form.

 

[Justcrazy]

Delhi ahead here , with all wickets in hand

 

[Justcrazy]

Delhi should look to keep required rate within 10 or near about , it will help them.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai need wicket here .

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

Shaw has smashed that away , he is playing his best knock of IPL right at start.

 

[Sunzi]

DC looking good here. Smoked by Shaw

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai bowling has been milked away by Delhi here , nothing working for them any more

 

[Devadwal]

100 runs opening partnership by Openers for DC .

 

[Justcrazy]

100 runs opening partnership here, Delhi motoring along.

 

[Devadwal]

Shaw should replace Dhawan in ODI

 

[Justcrazy]

I think this game is out of Chennai grips now.

 

[guna]

Shaw showing what he is made of. He was down the drains after the series in Australia. He has comeback pretty strong.

 

[Justcrazy]

Delhi getting boundaries at will here

 

[Bilal7]

Moeen is having a good game. Made two wicket-taking opportunities and has saved at least a couple of boundaries already.

I'm quite disappointed by the standards of the IPL, to be honest. Looks like any other T20 league whereas I was under the impression that it was vastly superior.

 

[Bilal7]

Why is Chennai stuck with old, retired or bench players like Rayudu, Raina and Dhoni while the other team has Dhawan, Pant and Shaw?

 

[Sunzi]

DC romping home here.

 

[Saj]

Looks like some knock by Shaw.

DC easing to victory.

 

[Sunzi]

Glimmer of hope. Shaw gone.

Surely too little to late

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Moeen bhai ripped apart by Shaw.

 

[OMB]

Why is Chennai stuck with old, retired or bench players like Rayudu, Raina and Dhoni while the other team has Dhawan, Pant and Shaw?

This is CSK problem. have to evolve

 

[Justcrazy]

Capitals need 50 runs in 36 balls. RRR: 8.33


Dhawan will have to bat through here
