Always a privilege to watch the El-Classico of IPL.

Should be another cracker of a game. Heart says Mumbai but head says CSK.
 
Wish Mumbai but CSK appears to be a different team from last two years. Gaikwad is the one to get early for MI bowlers
 
CSK need to do this. Can't have MI winning the IPL every year. We need to end their dominance!

MI was suffering previously due to slow chennai pitch. Even then they manage to win a few.
Their fortunes are changing now that they are out of Chennai and I expect them to start belting out big scores again.
 
The game, the El-Classico of IPL.

Though the hype is less this time due to obvious reasons but to all who says IPL is only about money and there are no rivalries should follow this game. Mad following for this clash year after year.

Pandya and Pollard have not had great seasons and Mumbai are still in the mix. Just shows how strong they are.

What Rohit Sharma said before the contest

Here is what MI captain Rohit Sharma had to say before the match against Chennai Super Kings:

"Playing the conditions well is important, we didn't adapt well in Chennai, but we knew once that leg ended, we were going to play on good pitches. These conditions [in Delhi] allowed our batters to come out and play the game they knew well. We have had a lot of discussions, we play in a certain manner and we want to adapt to that. It allows them to be fearless, a few guys can anchor the innings and play around the hitters." - Rohit Sharma

What MS Dhoni said before the contest

Here is what MS Dhoni, CSK captain had to say before the match against Mumbai Indians:

"The players have taken more responsibility this year. You will be facing adverse things but ultimately it boils down to how each individual rises to the occasion and gives the extra 10 percent for the team. Last 8-10 years we've not changed a lot of players so they know our approach." - MS Dhoni

Out of all the games in the IPL this year, this has a big game feel about it. The real titans of the IPL.
 
Faf Du Plessis should open for SA at the T20 World Cup. He knows Indian conditions and has performed as an opener in these conditions.
 
Moen Ali seems to be playing with a freedom and enjoyment that we haven't seen at international level for a while.
 
Moeen Ali got starts in all games I believe but yet to utilize it.. CSK having batting depth won't mind that though..
 
Moeen should stay calm this over, no need to throw his wicket away, he can hit big against spinners..
 
Chahar has been impressive in the tournament so far. He also played in the T20s against England. Seems as though he is the favourite for the frontline spinner for the World T20 for India.

Moeen Ali has been excellent pick by CSK , he is contributing very well for them .

That's cos he has a clear role (go out and smash it) and fixed position (1 down) for Chennai which he doesn't get for England...
 
Faf Du Plessis is the most important batsmen for CSK. He holds things together and is also accelerating correctly. He is having an excellent season.
 
Moeen is the ultimate anti stat padder.

There's not a single ball he doesn't bat without intent. Both KL and Babar should sign up for Moeen's classes.

On point...man doesn't care for personal milestones which has sometimes been detrimental for his international career

Well he isn't better Buttler,Roy,Bairstow, and Malan is the number 1 T20 batter so not sure why England would bat him at 3.

Very unselfish batsmen plays for the team he’s batted as low as 7/8 for England and has been made the scapegoat numerous times but Chennai seem to have found a good role for him good to see him flourish
 
Moeen attiude is impressive. Consistently positive mindset. I think England is wasting him down the ordder.
 
Barring Dhoni, all the CSK players are consistent match winners on their day.

While some other unsuccessful team pays 10-15 Crores to couple of their players and rely on 2-3 players to win them all games.
 
No surprises, Faf always does well in IPL. In internationals when playing for South Africa is where he struggles and becomes a limited player.
 
This looks absolutely belter of wicket. Rayudu 42(17) is a proof of that.
 
Wow Raydu, he's killing Bumrah here, actually I believe he has a good record against bumrah.
 
This is some ridiculous hitting from Rayudu. This is Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah who he is depositing all round the ground.
 
MI batting has not been great in this tournament. Big test for them with this score.

I'm not saying he is a world class player . But he is better than some people on PP think.

He's actually a good player, was unnecessarily dropped from WC squad.. I mean he's the only man who performed consistently in middle order for India that time..
 
Jadeja is really a selfish batsman, 2nd time he's turning down double and he's continue to waste balls..

All that backing and then he was dropped before the WC lol. Horrible management.

Raydu actually smashed Bumrah around the park previous years as well..

Must be a belter that one too. Rayudu is good vs spinners and trundlers on flat wickets but that's about.

This may sound being biased but Manish Pandey is a technically more assured and complete batsman, especially against pace than Rayudu.
 
Mumbai missed the trick by not playing Ishan Kishan. He would have hit sixes for fun on this wicket.

Did you have him in your fantasy team or did you have some MI bowlers ?

Would've been gold if I had him, instead I've Raina in.. Had both Chahar and Boult as bowlers.. Team is packed with CSK players by the way.. Faf and Moeen is Captain and VC..

So you will get points for Faf and Moen.

That was a scintillating, a sensational, a sensational innings by Rayudu! Phew! Great hitting against two of the best bowlers in the world right now. Easily the best innings of this year's IPL. Wow!
