[Ab Fan]

Good decision by RCB to go with Kane Williamson. He might be a good option on these flat belters.

 

[King_Kohli]

Jammieson
Siraj
Kane Richardson
Harshal Patel
Sundar
Chahal
Shhabaz

7 Bowling options

Think RCB short of one batsman.....

Should have included Daniel Christian.

 

[Rana]

Rajasthan Royals is such a cr@p franchise.

They will most likely come last this year

 

[Smbhayi]

That's a great review..

nice bit of premeditation from Virat

 

[Justcrazy]

43 . 4

RCB looking for their fourth straight win here

 

[Smbhayi]

Story of Sanju, some glorious shots then soft dismissal

 

[Justcrazy]

Good decision by RCB to go with Kane Williamson. He might be a good option on these flat belters.

Kane Williamson is in Hyderabad )

 

[Justcrazy]

Dube slogging a few lusty blows here , but I think its not going to be enough

 

[Ab Fan]

Kane Williamson is in Hyderabad )

Kane Richardson

 

[Justcrazy]

Dube has batted well here so far , but he needs to bat deep

 

[Smbhayi]

first time Dube crossing 30 runs in IPL..

 

[Saurav]

Story of Sanju, some glorious shots then soft dismissal

and then people claim he's not been given chances for India

huge talent but needs to be more consistent

 

[Justcrazy]

Very good partnership here 66 from 6 overs !

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

Tewati hammers that

 

[Justcrazy]

120 . 5

36 balls left , RR should be looking at 160 easily , if they keep cool.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four more

TT get to 133 here , 28 balls left

 

[Justcrazy]

149 . 6

14 balls to go

RR should look for 25 more runs here

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXXX

Morris sends that in the orbit

 

[Justcrazy]

Rewatia 40 from 22 , a very good cameo so far

 

[Justcrazy]

178 is the target

RR have done well without contributions from Sanju , Miller and Butler !

 

[Devadwal]

RR needs wicket otherwise match is gone

 

[Devadwal]

RCB & RR both are my favourite teams but here im supporting RR to win as they badly need a win

 

[Ab Fan]

No Unadkat today??

He has bowled well this year.

 

[Justcrazy]

RCB motoring along here

59 in power play

 

[Justcrazy]

RR need couple of quick wickets here to put some pressure on RCB

 

[Ab Fan]

What a knock from Paddikal! Some sensational hitting.

 

[King_Kohli]

DDP's putting on an absolute show now!

 

[jnaveen1980]

One of the best innings of this season. Padikkal. Probably top 3

 

[Devadwal]

Paddikal can get place in some of international team as a opener

 

[King_Kohli]

RR badly missing Archer and Stokes.

 

[rhony]

Padikkal looks a special talent. Some of the strokes were just incredible. Dhawan should start feeling nervous.

 

[Ab Fan]

Rajasthan Royals should change their name to Rubbish Rajasthan.

Paddikal has a vibe of Saeed Anwar.

 

[King_Kohli]

Paddikal has a vibe of Saeed Anwar.

His off side game improved a lot compare to last year.
Did you observe?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

His off side game improved a lot compare to last year.
Did you observe?

Good. Good. Another Bangalore boy in Indian cricket.

 

[King_Kohli]

6000 runs for KING.
Virat becomes the first batsman to reach 6000 IPL runs.

 

[Ab Fan]

His off side game improved a lot compare to last year.
Did you observe?

Yeah and improved his six hitting ability a lot too. Sheer elegance and timing.

 

[Ab Fan]

Gavaskar as usual ranting about centuries lol.

Nikhil claiming Keralite as Bangalore boy

He moved here when he was 11 and learnt all his cricket here.

 

[Justcrazy]

162 runs opening partnership! RCB simply kicking RR out of play offs with this massive win here

 

[Justcrazy]

Rajasthan has been hit hard with missing players , its very bad situation for them , if Joffra , Butler , Morris and Stokes were in this XI , they would have been very very strong team.

 

[Saj]

This is what you call an absolute hammering.

 

[King_Kohli]

What a knock from DDP.

 

[Justcrazy]

RCB won by 10 wickets (with 21 balls remaining)


Big Big win by RCB , they are unbeaten after 4 wins

 

[RohitD]

RR looks the weakest at the moment. Managed to win only one match so far against DC with stroke of luck.

 

[guna]

Paddikal has a vibe of Saeed Anwar.

He reminds me of Moeen Ali with the style of Saeed Anwar and the attacking mindset of Fakhar Zaman.

Still a long way to go before he plays for India. At the moment, Dhawan is making a strong claim for the opening spot in the T20 WC. He will be partnered by Rohit there.

Without Stokes and Archer they are just a mediocre team.

Nope.
Kohli already said he is going to open with Rohit leaving his spot to SKY.

Well he's never played for Kerala, Uthappa is more keralite than him... Will be proud of his Kerala route anyway...

 

[Smbhayi]

Nope.

If Dhawan has good IPL and selected for WT20 definitely he'll open with Rohit..

Gavaskar as usual ranting about centuries lol.

He was worried there weren't many centuries this year. He can sleep happily tonight.

 

[King_Kohli]

Dhawan always playing well in IPL.
He is very average T20 batsmen in international cricket.

 

[rhony]

Paddikal has a vibe of Saeed Anwar.

Not as "square leg flick sixers" as Saeed but he looks good all around the wicket. Great timing and seems to have time as all good batsmen do.

 

[rhony]

Chasing seems to be very easy. Maybe the T20WC should be played during the day time

[ex-q-zit]

Though RCB won comfortably today I still think we are a batsman short. Finn Allen needs to come in for ann allrounder or bowler. When playing against teams like CSK/DC/MI the extra batsman is very much needed. Having 8 bowling options is a waste as Shabaz is neither bowling nor batting.

 

[Rana]

Rajasthan Royals paid so much for Chris Morris and they couldn’t get a wicket in this match...

I believe that Shahabaz guy is an AR.. And from the xi he's listed as no. 3 bat.

I think brother [MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION] is a mallu himself

Maybe Nikhil brother can start a Malayali association of Bengaluru and claim cricketers like Padikkal and KL Rahul.

 

[RamLakhan]

RCB seems to be playing their best cricket this edition and looking favorites, but not sure if this tournament itself goes on till the end...

 

[Ab Fan]

I think they should stop the tournament and declare RCB as winners of 2021 IPL based on the current standings.

Mallu but raised in Bangalore , brother streety Also KL Rahul is originally from Mangalore/Udupi. He is not Mallu. I think you meant Karun Nair.
