Finally Smith got a chance and dropped KL Rahul catch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mayank smacked Rabada for 3 sixes in one over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

sorry Mayank 2 sixes. KL Rahul 1 six

 

[King_Kohli]

Lol.. Rabada.
Rabada sent back to Johannesburg by Mayank.

 

[King_Kohli]

Good going birthday boy KL Rahul.

 

[King_Kohli]

Mayank Agarwal 50 in just 25 balls.

 

[Mean&Green]

And than you lot have the audacity to compare kl Rahul to.

Babar Azam like seriously. Kl Rahul is an extremely poor batsman who plays for his fifty and operates at a strike rate of 110-120 and than gets out like a couple balls later like he did today and didn’t cause any damage to the opposition at the end despite scoring 61. He was clearly looking to play for his fifty and slowed down like he always does on top of that when he again tried to up his strike rate after achieving his personal milestone he got out like always and ended a very poor knock at the end. I wish he plays for india more he will help the opposition more than helping India.

 

[sindhiboy]

Was this a babar azam type innings from Rahul?

 

[Smbhayi]

Still can't understand why SRH drop Hooda?

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab closing on 200 here

 

[Justcrazy]

Still can't understand why SRH drop Hooda?

Just the way KKR let go Suryakumar , sheer stupidity

 

[Justcrazy]

183 runs

4 balls to go , good total in making here

 

[Justcrazy]

196 is the target !

 

[King_Kohli]

Still can't understand why SRH drop Hooda?

They dropped Dhawan too.

 

[King_Kohli]

Orange cap Namde.

 

[sindhiboy]

Still can't understand why SRH drop Hooda?

They wasted years of his career. They Thought he was a bowling all rounder

He barely got to bat at all with srh.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhawan needs to give strong start

 

[Justcrazy]

Delhi need strong start here

 

[Justcrazy]

43 in 4 overs , explosive start here by delhi

 

[Justcrazy]

Capitals need 128 runs in 78 balls. RRR: 9.84

Delhi doing well here

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhawan looking in splendid form , effortless battting

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

Dhawan sends that to orbit.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Smith gone

 

[Rajdeep]

Steve Smith should not play IPL. Sad to see a champion like him playing such ugly shots which clearly not his game.

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab need to get Dhawan out here , to make the game interesting

 

[silentkiller187]

Steve Smith should not play IPL. Sad to see a champion like him playing such ugly shots which clearly not his game.

Pays his bills I doubt he will be too fussed warming the bench for a month or so, have a game here and there, his experience will be more valuable during practise etc

 

[Justcrazy]

Delhi cruising along here , Punjab need to revisit there strategy table here and come up with a different plan

 

[Justcrazy]

Four Four Four

Dhawan in beat mode here

 

[silentkiller187]

Don’t see what Riley Meredith brings that a local bowler cant

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

Pant sends that to orbit , Delhi dominating here

 

[Rajdeep]

Dhawan goes for 92

 

[shah_1]

KL Rahul is the best when it comes to stat padding. No impact

 

[shah_1]

Steve Smith should not play IPL. Sad to see a champion like him playing such ugly shots which clearly not his game.

He is simply not a T20 batsman

 

[Justcrazy]

Capitals need 22 runs in 21 balls. RRR: 6.28


Easy for Delhi

 

[silentkiller187]

Bishabh pants should see it home from here

 

[silentkiller187]

Gone on the 5th juggle

 

[Saurav]

Jhye and Riley are both so overrated in this format

 

[rhony]

Rahul and Manish Pandey are old foxes that have realized one or two world cup spots are up for grabs. The only way to grab them is score some 50s and statpad a bit.

 

[rhony]

60 in 50 balls is a crime on a 220+ pitch

 

[Justcrazy]

Capitals won by 6 wickets (with 10 balls remaining)

Well Done Delhi

 

[Hasan123]

Punjab Kings batting is really strong. But their bowling is all over the place. Merdith and Shami look badly out of sorts. Arshdeep looks the most impressive Punjab bowler.

 

[DHONI183]

Well, anything below 220 is just not defend-able on that Mumbai pitch. It may sound very harsh on my part, but KL Rahul´s innings hampered Punjab´s chances of getting to that suitable score of 210-plus. It was a slow innings, given the pitch and the ideal conditions for batting. Losing such a match on his birthday must´ve been hard for Rahul as captain.

Well played, Delhi! Superb batting by Dhawan! What a joy he´s to watch when he´s on song!

 

[Saj]

KL Rahul playing the anchor role when you have Pooran and Gayle. What a waste.

61 off 51 balls on that track was pathetic.

 

[Saj]

Dhawan once again showing what a class act he is.

So many hitting areas - a bowler's nightmare.
