This is the game I was waiting for. Lets see who wins- Kohli's love for KL or KL's love for Bangalore? :))

CSK & SRH are RCB's biggest Nemeses in crucial games. I think Punjab also won both their games against RCB last edition! Even MI will blow away RCB in playoffs... RCB should hope that they somehow encounter teams like RR, Punjab, DC & KKR in the playoffs to have any chance!

Srh not gonna make in playoff this season :sree, neither RR or Punjab..
 
Why does Punjab not play both the leg spinners, Bishnoi and Murugwan together?
 
KL Rahul should give up captaincy. His pathetic slow starts are destroying Kings XI. He thinks he is playing with responsibility, but it looks selfish and has been the prime contributor for Kings pathetic show this IPL.
 
Stupidity on part of Gavaskar & Bhogle to involve in an Ad eating sandwich & speaking in front of mike & camera during this pandemic!
 
Fan poll confirms, de Villiers has greater legacy than Gayle in IPL. :)
 
Brilliant inning from KL Rahul. Harshal losing his Midas touch.

Punjab have got a good total.
 
This is a good score on this pitch. Pubjab Kings bowlers need to do the job now.
 
Harshal Patel has the worst match in the tournament - wicketless over 50 in 4 overs (may not be! It still has be the Jadeja Match!)
 
Great fight back. Destruction from Rahul with good hands from Harpreet and the Universe Boss.

Harshal getting some phainty. Enjoy watching Siraj bowl though.
 
Form is Temporay, Mediocrity is permanent.
------ Harshal Patel.

4-0-53-0 :mw
 
It would be best for the competition if Punjab win. Don't want the current top 4 running away with it. The current top 3 are only 3/4 wins away from guaranteeing themselves a play off place. Want it to be as close as possible for the play offs.
 
Shivam Mavi bowls 140-145kmph and he is a medium fast bowler.

Meridith bowls 140-145 kmph and he is a genuine fast bowler.

Harsha Bhogle is biased as hell.
 
Slow start from Kohli

14 off 14 so far.
 
Expecting a Maxwell special today Vs his previous team, Punjab.
 
Glenn maxwell back to his usual self poor foot movement.learning from kohli as well not walking after being clean bowled.
 
AB struggle when starting against spin. Would definitely keep Bishnoi and Harpreet.
 
Brar seems to be a genuine all rounder. One to keep an eye for the future. He can bat and he is bowling like a seasoned spinner. A better option than Krunal Pandya.
 
Bishnoi is better leggie than Chahal. He is a lighter version of Rashid Khan.
 
Selfish innings from Kohli some would say.
 
AB not looking convincing when starting against spin. Teams should definitely use that tactic against him.
 
Selfish innings from Kohli some would say.

He was trying to accelerate. It just wasn't happening. He did get out trying to play a big shot and not playing a defensive shot. Not everything is selfish.
 
Selfish innings from Kohli some would say.

He is not selfish. That is his natural style. He bats at 150 S/R or higher only once every few matches. I never rated Kohli as a great T20 player.

He was the player of the tournament in the last 2 T20 World Cups but he's not a great T20 player. :))
 
Harpreet Brar has done a Jadeja today.

Simple rule to beat RCB :-

Post 180+ runs, dry up runs when Kohli and no.3 is batting, bring on left arm spin Vs Maxi and AB and game over.

:))
 
Kohli does well vs quality pace because he can use the pace and find gaps. But against trundlers, he struggles.

In IPL, he gets a lot of trundlers so he loses shape early and hence strikes lower.He has a poor record Vs Dhawal Kulkarni in knockout games.

AB is struggling when starting against spin.
 
Punjab were beaten to a pulp by SRH but will beat RCB and beat MI comfortabley. They are a rollercoaster of a team!
 
RCB need to send AB at 3 in a 180+ chase otherwise they will continue losing 180+ chases by 80-100 runs margin.
 
RCB will loose by another big margin, Punjab now has beaten two very strong sides MI and RCB :14:

Doubt it will happen. AB was told before the tournament he will bat at 5. He seems happy there. Maybe worth dropping Kohli to 3 and playing Finn Allen.

Nothing is worth. It is an awful side and will remain so. Jamieson and Harshal both are now getting smashed, Maxi is non-reliable, Kohli bats like Pandey in IPL and AB struggles Vs spin. Watch them lose 4-5 games on trott and slide down from top 4 at the business end.

I can definitely see them going on a losing streak. Even though there bowling has done well so far, it can definitely he targeted. AB can't save them every time.

There is still hope for the other teams barring SRH to catch RCB.
