[OMB]

Kohli vs Morgan - both of them lead their sides in recently concluded T20I series.

Waiting to see what can KKR do against the in-form RCB? My prediction : RCB winning this though historically KR have dominated.

 

[OMB]

RCB win the toss and choose to bat first

 

[OMB]

Playing XI

KKR: Nitish Rana, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan (capt), Shakib Al Hasan, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Harbhajan Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Varun Chakravarthy

RCB: Virat Kohli (capt), Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Washington Sundar, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

 

[King_Kohli]

Virat Kohli - It's unbelievable to win the toss against Morgan, now it's 7-1.

 

[King_Kohli]

RCB playing with only 3 OS players.

 

[Devadwal]

Bajji bowling still usefull

 

[OMB]

Some transfer of luck

 

[OMB]

Minor collapse happening RCB ?

 

[OMB]

Brilliant Varun. 1 over and 2 wickets already

 

[Majestic]

Maxwell with clear intentions this year.

 

[OMB]

Maxwell and Padikkal fixing it though Padikkal is a bit slow. Varun is back

 

[Hasan123]

Wonder if Australia will be looking to use Maxwell at 4 in T20s. Seems to be thriving there so far.

 

[Hasan123]

50 for Maxwell.

 

[Hasan123]

Excellent knock from Maxwell so far.

 

[OMB]

yes he saved the day for RCB. has hattrick of 50's now.
expect some big hits soon and KKR really need to dislodge him or they could be staring at a score of 200+

 

[Hasan123]

Great position for RCB . AB still to come.

 

[Hasan123]

Paddikal gone. AB time!

 

[OMB]

Padikkal wasting good opportunities like these. Will find it tough next year

 

[Majestic]

Maxwell and AB together .

Not good signs for KKR now.

 

[OMB]

RCB really going strong. 145/3 off 16 ov.

 

[OMB]

no sixes from AB yet?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Outrageous batting by ABDV. True 360 degree player

 

[OMB]

ABDV you beauty, what a crazy batting feast this is

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maxie/AB show.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last 5 overs 70 runs. AB scored 55 of them.

 

[Hasan123]

What an innings from AB. Literally unstoppable in full flow.

 

[King_Kohli]

Abraham Benjamin De Villiers

 

[sindhiboy]

The best t20 innings this year.
Unreal batsman. This chepauk pitch is actually slow and has been difficult for batting

It's actually unfair that rcb have the best t20 batsmen playing together

 

[King_Kohli]

ABD is like an old wine. Getting better year by year. What a dominating innings from this superman.

 

[King_Kohli]

Cricketers will come and go. But I don’t think they’ll ever be another ABD!
One in a lifetime player.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gill is on a roll here

 

[Sunzi]

Good catch because Gill was destroying this railu katta

 

[King_Kohli]

Excellent start from KKR.

 

[Sunzi]

Cracker from Chapatti.

 

[Rajdeep]

Jamieson got smashed in that over

 

[King_Kohli]

Still KKR can win this match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This pitch is not helpful for batsmen as ABDV made us believe. It was just AB being AB.

 

[King_Kohli]

Harshal Patel.

All of suddenly he became a good bowler.
how come?

 

[King_Kohli]

Kolkata Knight Riders need 84 runs in 30 balls.

 

[Majestic]

This is not a 200 run wicket.

 

[King_Kohli]

Russel on fire.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Why bowl a spinner at this time when you have siraj, kyle and harshal to bowl?

 

[King_Kohli]

Kolkata Knight Riders need 60 runs in 19 balls.

 

[King_Kohli]

Why bowl a spinner at this time when you have siraj, kyle and harshal to bowl?

Not at all required.

 

[Rajdeep]

Harshal Patel.

All of suddenly he became a good bowler.
how come?

Harshal Patel, Varun Chakravarty and Rahul Chahar - 3 take out players from this IPL who can get selected in T20 WC

 

[Rajdeep]

Shakib out after playing playing a poor innings....KKR would be happy that he is out.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Not at all required.

I guess its because that in 2019 Dre Russ took siraj apart. But then Siraj is a much improved bowler now.

 

[Majestic]

This Jamieson guy will be smashed to cleaners in Wankhede and other venues.

 

[Rajdeep]

Top class bowling from Siraj

 

[King_Kohli]

Harshal Patel, Varun Chakravarty and Rahul Chahar - 3 take out players from this IPL who can get selected in T20 WC

Nattu vs Harshal
Who you think will do better?

 

[Rajdeep]

Nattu vs Harshal
Who you think will do better?

On form, I would take Harshal.

 

[King_Kohli]

Purple cap holder Harshal .. rocks

 

[Majestic]

Lol Russell..You're no ABDV, go and play these shots in Chinaswamy or Wankhede.

)

 

[Rajdeep]

Lol Russell..You're no ABDV, go and play these shots in Chinaswamy.

)

Top class bowling from Siraj too...not sure Drerus could have done much there.

 

[King_Kohli]

I guess its because that in 2019 Dre Russ took siraj apart. But then Siraj is a much improved bowler now.

0,0,0,0,0,1 by Siraj in the 19th over against Andre Russell. This is the redemption of Siraj the T20 bowler.

Finally RCB found good death overs bowlers after so many horrible seasons but Unfortunately we are going to mega auction next year, we will miss many of them

 

[King_Kohli]

In the IPL history:

Yesterday:
SRH for the first time in history lost their first 3 games of the season.

Today:
RCB for the first time in history won their first 3 games of the season.

 

[ex-q-zit]

RCB now has both the orange and purple caps so no wonder they are on top of the table. As a RCB supporter I cant remember a more well balanced team ever.

For Wankhade I would like Finn Allen to replace Patidar as it would strengthen the top 3 and gives more muscle to the batting.

Agree.
Today we played with only 3 OS players.

 

[Saj]

There seems to be quite a few very average local players in this year's IPL tournament?

 

[OMB]

Patidar didn't capitalize well. Not a bad player so hope he gets one more chance.
