[Hasan123]

Maxi gone.

 

[OMB]

maxwell departs for 39. hope for MI?

 

[WengerOut]

Guys, any guess about Bhag Viru Bhag's fake avataar here in the IPL thread?

 

[Hasan123]

Guys, any guess about Bhag Viru Bhag's fake avataar here in the IPL thread?

Relax. He is a good poster. The IPL is just not his cup of tea.

 

[Hasan123]

Annoying how the audio keeps dropping out.

 

[Hasan123]

AB struggling to time it right now.

 

[King_Kohli]

Done and dusted.

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol RCB..

 

[King_Kohli]

Guys, any guess about Bhag Viru Bhag's fake avataar here in the IPL thread?

Nope.
Who?

 

[Hasan123]

Typical RCB collapse.

 

[Hasan123]

Ridiculous from AB.

 

[King_Kohli]

44 runs in 28 balls

 

[Smbhayi]

4 & 6 by abd

 

[Justcrazy]

AB is likely to finish this here for RCB

 

[Smbhayi]

That was unnecessary by ABD..

 

[King_Kohli]

Can Harshal Patel bat?

 

[Sunzi]

RCB throwing this away.

Kohli started it. Skying one and missing a straightish pull before being trapped. Not sure why he was trying to force it.

Game was in their grasp when Kohli and Maxwell were keeping it ticking over.

AB's still there though - what a shot.

 

[Hasan123]

Should have been a wide. No touch on AB and down the legs side.

 

[Hasan123]

Can Harshal Patel bat?

Not much. There is still Jamieson anyway.

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol Swan mocking CSK to not picking 38 year old Dan Christian..

 

[King_Kohli]

Not much. There is still Jamieson anyway.

Can he bat?

 

[CanadianG00se]

Why is ABD batting so low?

 

[Hasan123]

Can he bat?

Yes he can and he can hit big.

 

[King_Kohli]

Lol Swan mocking CSK to not picking 38 year old Dan Christian..

Lol )

 

[Hasan123]

Why is ABD batting so low?

His strike rate is better when facing pace towards the end. Steuggles to start in the middle. Decent strategy as Maxwell can accelerate in the middle overs against spin.

 

[Smbhayi]

Should have bowled Bumrah there.. OK he's on.. Thought Boult was going to bowl..

 

[Justcrazy]

AB has things under control here , MI need a good over here to be back

 

[King_Kohli]

Yes he can and he can hit big.

lets see.

 

[Hasan123]

Christian gone.

 

[King_Kohli]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Smbhayi]

And Christian gone.. Choke mode is on..

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Bumrah bowls well

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol what's that Dravid's cred ad..

 

[Sunzi]

RCB peak-Pak'ing it!

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah looks in great form despite not playing for a while. RCB need to target someone . Doesn't look like Bumrah will give much away.

 

[Hasan123]

1 big over should be enough for RCB.

 

[King_Kohli]

Bumrah looks in great form despite not playing for a while. RCB need to target someone . Doesn't look like Bumrah will give much away.

Not easy to hit Bumrah.

 

[Hasan123]

Classic AB!

 

[OMB]

Its game on. one over this way or that can change

 

[Hasan123]

Not easy to hit Bumrah.

Yep. That's why AB will target Boult.

 

[Hasan123]

Boult is brilliant with the new ball in LO. But not convinced by him at the death. Doesn't have a yorker and doesn't bowl bouncers. Not sure why you would bowl him at the death.

 

[Saj]

de Villiers is great to watch.

Such a clean striker of the ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

AB is the key here

 

[Justcrazy]

20 from 13 balls , RCB should get it

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah needs to keep it around 6/7 runs for this over.

 

[Sunzi]

Classic stuff from ABD

 

[Hasan123]

AB

 

[Hasan123]

Great start to the over.

 

[King_Kohli]

Look at that guy, he is retired and not playing cricket regularly but still hammering all top quality international bowlers.

Abraham Benjamin de Villiers.

 

[King_Kohli]

AB Devilliers take break for 10 months and does everything for #RCB in 2 months - batting, keeping, fielding - if he was an average bowler as well, they could have bowled him as well.

 

[Smbhayi]

Super shot by ABD..

 

[Justcrazy]

AB even hammering bumrah

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah has no answer to the genius of AB.

RCB look well balanced with this line up. Can't trust their consistency. That's the issue .

 

[Smbhayi]

That was unnecessary..

 

[King_Kohli]

Sundar completely wasted power play, hope DDP will back for next game.

 

[Hasan123]

All the pressure is on Marco Jansen.

 

[King_Kohli]

Bumrah has no answer to the genius of AB.

RCB look well balanced with this line up. Can't trust their consistency. That's the issue .

Yeah, this line up is good.
DDP should open next match.

 

[Hasan123]

Lol AB must have confidence in Harshals batting!

 

[King_Kohli]

Marco Jansen is good prospects for SA.

 

[Smbhayi]

Why they ran that

 

[Hasan123]

Yeah, this line up is good.
DDP should open next match.

Yes I'm sure he will come in the next game in place of Shabaz.

 

[Justcrazy]

6 from 5

One hit away

 

[Devadwal]

Should have take 2

 

[OMB]

ABD back on strike

 

[Devadwal]

3 of 3 ..superover pls

 

[Shams123]

Ab needs to make an international comeback for sa. Badly want to see him representing sa in t20 wc 2021.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

AB usually starts a series brightly. We will have to keep a watch.

 

[OMB]

are we going to start IPL 2021 with a super over?

 

[Rana]

What a stupid second run

 

[Devadwal]

Omg it's heartbreaking .AB Run-out

 

[Smbhayi]

ChokeCB

 

[Hasan123]

AB gone.

 

[King_Kohli]

Super Over?

 

[Hasan123]

Lol Siraj and Chahal next 2. Could be a super over.

 

[King_Kohli]

ABD last 5 innings against MI

70*, 75, 55*, 15, 48

 

[Rana]

what is it with South Africans and closing out matches?

 

[OMB]

ABD balding but still scalding hot form

 

[Justcrazy]

2 from 2 balls

Can we have a super over here

 

[Devadwal]

2 of 2 ...what a start of IPL2021

 

[Sunzi]

Twist in the tail here.
