78 . 3

10 overs to go

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni is again pushing himself down the order here , he should have come out at least at number 4

Dhoni is again pushing himself down the order here , he should have come out at least at number 4

Reckon he realizes that he's finished as a batsman, he'll be a complete liability the higher he bats. At this stage, he's no more than a specialist captain.

 

[Justcrazy]

98. 3

11 overs

Chennai would be targeted at least 175 here

If he cannot bat , he should not be in the team. Before being a captain you are a player , so you need to contribute , not keep hiding behind.

Dhoni is only acting as a cheerleader nowadays, almost as Shahid afridi was, name puts bums on seats and more viewership so chennai will persist with him.

 

[Justcrazy]

35 runs partnership in 3 overs , good batting by these two

 

[Justcrazy]

120 with 7 overs to go.

Chennai in strong position.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai has the best depth in terms of batting , with Chahar coming at 11 , that is massive depth

 

[silentkiller187]

MSD time?

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni coming at number 7

 

[Devadwal]

Despite wicket faling at regular intervals CSK run rate is pretty good .all batsman playing good Cameo

 

[Devadwal]

CSK batting is very deep ,they lost 5 wickets still Curran & Bravo yet to bat

 

[CanadianG00se]

Seeing CSK struggle like this gives me immense joy. Grandpa XI is struggling to even rotate strike. CSK will finish at the bottom of the table this season.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni is a liablity here with the bat , sad to see Dhoni messing his legacy

 

[Justcrazy]

Forecaster had CSK getting 184 two overs ago, now it says 170

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni 18 from 17 balls , simply killed momentum.

 

[Justcrazy]

158

12 balls to go , Chennai need to get 180 plus here

 

[Smbhayi]

I do like Bravo's inside out shot!

 

[Justcrazy]

Bravo hitting some lusty blows here

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai has the bowling to defend this target , if they get Butler early

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXX

Barvo finishes with a bang here

189 is the target

 

[Justcrazy]

Butler needs to bat deep here , take his time.

 

[Last Monetarist]

RR steady but not spectacular thus far. 2/45 in the powerplay. It will need Buttler to make a significant score for them to have a realistic chance here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Royals need 129 runs in 72 balls. RRR: 10.75

Butler needs to stay till 15th over here

 

[Justcrazy]

Dube needs to make sure he is not a liablity here

 

[Justcrazy]

108 off last 10 overs required !

 

[Justcrazy]

At some point Rajasthan would need to get some big overs

 

[Rana]

So if Moeen Ali is garbage (according to a couple of posters)

Then so is IPL?

 

[Justcrazy]

Moeen Ali has been great pick by CSK , worthy of every $$$

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni strives on pitches where spinners get grip , he becomes 5 times more effective as a captain .

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai is emerging as a strong contender for play offs here

 

[sindhiboy]

Moeen and Sam curran are something else in the ipl.
Atleast moeen is usually mediocre

 

[Saj]

Lovely spell from Moeen.

Rajasthan are so reliant on Buttler and Samson, the rest just seem to be making up the numbers.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is only formality here , Dhoni would be happy with CSK progress here

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai win by 45 runs , a big margin , that will improve there run rate as well.

 

[Saj]

RR hammered

NRR destroyed

How can the IPL continue with quarter million new Covid cases in India every day?

This is what we call a typical brain freeze!
