That is why pant is trying to prove himself as opener.

Pant can kiss his T20 career good bye. He has never showed he is a consistent T20 batter. Too many players performing much better than him. He can stick to Tests.

[OldWarHorse]

This has been a good one, great atmosphere and some quality bowling.

 

[Josh]

Top match this one and fantastic lines in final over by Tushar Deshpande. Top catch by Jofra at the boundary.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Sensational bowling from Deshpande.

 

[Devadwal]

Tushar Deshpandeeee.. love you brother

Back RR when GT needed 15 from 2 over with 6 odd.

50k*5= 250k

 

[Devadwal]

Surprised to see the old warrior Shami bowling a spell of 3-0-7-2 on this deck & picking wickets of Sharma & Head .
26/3 in 7

recovery 120/4 in 15.1

recovery 120/4 in 15.1

Target 157 - should be a fairly straight forward chase .

Way under par for hyderbad stadium

Way under par for hyderbad stadium

Should have seen the Shami show - 4 overs , 2 for 9 on this bloody deck !!!

 

[Cricfan8920]

Pant in limited overs

 

[BDfanforever]

Shami has his confidence back with the new hairdo. Second best IND bowler after Bumrah, followed by Siraj.

RCB look like the team to beat this season

Jacob Duffy could be a difference maker, especially at M. Chinnaswamy

 

[OldWarHorse]

Feels like RCB are going in with a few too many batters, do they really need David, Jitesh, Krunal and Romario all playing together? Leaves them a bowler short even with an impact player substitution

 

[OldWarHorse]

6 sixes in last 9 deliveries

 

[RamLakhan]

This utility will be needed when they go outside Chinnaswamy... Krunal is a good spinner outside Bangalore and Romario can also bowl well on slow pitches with long boundaries... They should stick to this combination! If Hazlewood is fit, they should definitely accomodate him along with Duffy... Then whom to live will be a question (I would remove Salt & play DDP as opener. Shift the batting order upper! This way we can remove one batsman & add one bowler)

 

[Cover Drive Six]

RCB and CSK are playing only one match this season. I tried my best to get a ticket for today’s match, but no luck. Ticket prices in the resale market are selling at 3x.

 

[OldWarHorse]

They really dont need Rutherford i feel, could do with another overseas pacer and get Venkatesh Iyer in instead

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai on the verge of losing another game

 

[Justcrazy]

Prashant Veer is striking well here 42 from 26 balls.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Has he justified his 14 crore price tag?
He looks like a good hitter.

Rutherford??

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Overton is trying to make up with the bat for what he conceded in bowling.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Rutherford??

Sorry i meant Shepherd

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Sorry i meant Shepherd

Yes, it’s very difficult to pick four overseas players for RCB once Hazlewood is back. Bethell is already sitting out, and even dropping Shepherd would be a difficult call.

 

[BDfanforever]

So, Jamie Overton is bowling around 145-151K speed in IPL. How did he get so fast in matter of months?

He was always quick. Here you can hear commie mentioning in BBL that he was touching 145.7k

 

[BDfanforever]

He was always decent, but no where as quick as Nortje, Archer, Wood, Malik, etc. Then again I only recall seeing him during IND tour of ENG Test.

In Tests bowlers cannot sustain pace. He had decent gas. In Tests bowlers bowl fast only when it is needed like Siraj bowled at147 k on last day of oval test. Othewise they hover around mid 130s.

With Hazelwood, they will get even more stronger. RCB at this point look likely to retain IPL title.

CSK are struggling, need person from your dp to make a comeback asap.
