Kolkata needs wickets to keep Chennai target under control.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz striking beautifully here.

 

[Justcrazy]

162 . 3

24 balls to go

KKR need damage control here , chasing 200 plus not going to be easy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Brewis is looking good , KKR will want him out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai looking good to cross 200 here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has found another youngster firing. Kartik Tyagi. Unlimited fast bowling talent coming through.

 

[Justcrazy]

O U T

Brewis gone , important wicket for KKR

 

[Justcrazy]

193 is the target for KKR , they need to chase this down , a loss here will shut them completely

 

[OldWarHorse]

Nice to see a reduction in dependency on overseas seamers this IPL

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR struggling again. Do not see them winning from here

KKR need 113 runs in 60 balls.

 

[Cric1234]

Cameron Green a million dollar flop this season.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR is likely to lose all their games. The management is simply pathetic.

 

[Justcrazy]

Cameron Green a million dollar flop this season.

He is way overrated in 20 20 , KKR could have purchased better domestic players with that money.

 

[Cric1234]

Who will win a match first Rahane or Rizwan.

Far too often IPL teams select players based on how good they think they are, as opposed to how good they actually are. Green could be a great player for Australia one day but he is not there yet. Especially not in white-ball.

Almost all Australian players either had a torrid World Cup campaign or are dealing with injuries but Indian franchises are obsessed with Australian players and continue selecting them based on their reputation. Eventhough you could get better, fitter T20 cricketers who maybe don't come with the same reputation but will definitely have cheaper price-tag.

And then senile grandpas like Gavaskar cry about the Australian players not being fit. Yeah they're not fit because they prioritize test cricket, grandpa. When you play a 5 test home season on those hard Australian pitches, it is bound to have some impact on your body at 36 years of age. If you know that there were concerns about their fitness then the blame lies on you as a franchise for selecting them, not the player who cannot control being injured.

Jassi stopped pushing hard in IPL long back after injury. INfact only in world cups he fires.

If this is true then he is one of the smartest cricketers in the world

 

[Hyder]

Iyer took kkr finals and was discarded next season and then he took Punjab in finals after ages.

Kkr let go the one of the best indian captain and white ball player for what? Rahane?

 

[jnaveen1980]

BCCI ideally would want MI to rest him. But since he is their star bowler bought multiple crores he has to participate. He does just enough. Even at his worst he manages to be economical. It is the freelancers like Boult are struggling far worse

Freelancers like Boult are finished and don't have much to lose. Bumrah has alot to lose. Anyway its the smart thing to do and if I was in his position I would do the same thing.

Ashok sharma
Gurnoor brar

Remember these names

@Bhaijaan

Remember the name omkar tarmale

 

[cricketjoshila]

No.
His fastest was 146 I think. One of effort ball.

Ashok Sharma 156k’s.

Sharma was154kph

 

[cricketjoshila]

Ipl is using a 40plus camera ai powered Hawkeye system for ball speed measurement, its extremely accurate

Not for Rahane, Shreyas & Starc were let go for Green & Venkatesh Iyer.

Venkatesh Iyer fopped last season with 23 crore & this year Green has flopped taking home 26 crore.

Can add Praful Hinge & Kartik Tyagi in the list.

I am so disheartened about Rishab Pant, he is frequently getting injured (including the accident). I wished he (and even Bumrah) to have born during our great Test Team of late 90s - early 00s (Sehwag, Dravid, Sachin, Ganguly, Laxman, Kumble..) He would have given such a crucial balance & killer instinct to that team (probably we would have won lots of overseas test matches & home domination coming early). He seems to have lost it in the IPL/Corporate/Glamor World and the fast demands!
