Kolkata Knight Riders: Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey, Suryakumar Yadav, Yusuf Pathan, Shakib Al Hasan, Andre Russell, Piyush Chawla, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Morne Morkel.
: Rohit Sharma, Aaaron Finch, Ambati Rayudu, Aditya Tare, Corey Anderson, Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Vinay Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Pragyan Ojha.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Mumbai's batting looks really poor - a top 6 which contains Tare and Rayudu. Then starting from 7 they have Harbhajan, Malinga, Vinay Kumar, Ohja and Bumrah.

 

[cricket.mad]

Finch is a walking wicket..mumbai have weakest batting lineup of all the teams..this time i am expecting to end with wooden spoon

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Tare bats like a tailender.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Tare bats like a tailender.

Dont understand the logic of his selection, if you Parthiv Patel in the dugout

 

[battler]

Mi - 37/3

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

You have*

 

[IgnitedMind]

Dont understand the logic of his selection, if you Parthiv Patel in the dugout

very true ! Parthiv guarantees a 20 ball stay and hits 35 runs more ofthen than not...

Tare and Rayudu in top 6 is a disaster....Mumbai batting is so weak !

 

[desi_launda]

As expected Mumbai again pathetic with the bat

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

very true ! Parthiv guarantees a 20 ball stay and hits 35 runs more ofthen than not...

Tare and Rayudu in top 6 is a disaster....Mumbai batting is so weak !

Bowling isn't good either as compared to other teams...Harbhajan , Malinga, Ojha, Vinay Kumar, Bumrah

[Enforcer]

Narine is bowling now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Most teams playing 5 specialist bowlers.

MI have always been a slow starters but this time they dont have enough firepower to up the game.

[desi_launda]

boring game..run rate under 6

 

[mithun_minhas]

Rohit is a tuk tuk player. He will only score if he stays past 14th over.

 

[desi_launda]

What exactly is the point of Chawla?

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Mumbai are a tuk tuk team.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chasing will not be easy on this surface

 

[KevinFern]

So what you all make of Narine's new bowling action? I don't see much difference in real time view

 

[Anchorman]

Narine looks bang average.

 

[Justcrazy]

80. 3

14 overs

 

[desi_launda]

Great innings by Rohit

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Narine looking average till now

 

[desi_launda]

by Rohit legend

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Well that over certainly helped the Mumbai cause.

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Rohit is treat to watch when he gets going...look at the kind of shots

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rohit Sharma. Wow.

There is hardly a better player to watch when in full flow than this man.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharma Carnage

 

[desi_launda]

Time for Corey to smack a few

Russel

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Brainless bowling by Yadav. Length balls.

Rohit when hitting is out of this world.

 

[mithun_minhas]

HTB Rohit in full flow.

 

[desi_launda]

HTB Rohit in full flow.

Come on .Eden Gardens is away venue for the Mumbaikar

 

[Justcrazy]

24 balls left , MI looking to slog

 

[mithun_minhas]

Brainless bowling by Yadav. Length balls.

Rohit when hitting is out of this world.

Makes me think that Umesh will never learn. School kid bowling.

 

[desi_launda]

Makes me think that Umesh will never learn. School kid bowling.

give him a break.Was great in the World Cup.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Makes me think that Umesh will never learn. School kid bowling.

Problem with him.

He has the tools to be awesome but doesn't have the brains.

Neither does Shami. Nor does Aaron.

Our last pace bowler who had brains was Zaheer.

Now we have Bhuvi. Hope he finds his zone in IPL and comes back.

 

[cricket.mad]

Rohit...what a hitter

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

give him a break.Was great in the World Cup.

Its not about performance. Its about the strategy.

If he tried something and still got whacked, I wouldn't blame him.

Yadav is our future and if he could develop some critical thinking, it would be awesome.

You don't have to go for 4 length balls on a row.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

So what you all make of Narine's new bowling action? I don't see much difference in real time view

To the naked eye it hasn't changed much however it appears he's bowling a bit slower which makes sense if he's not extending at the elbow as much.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharma is destroying KKR here

 

[Gabbar Singh]

What a wide lol

 

[Anchorman]

Zaheer was an extremely intelligent bowler.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharma closing on a hundred here

 

[Anchorman]

Corey looks poor.

 

[Anchorman]

Rohit all set to bag a century.

 

[Anchorman]

Russell is the kind of bowler Corey loves feasting on.

 

[cricket.mad]

Sharma is class..too much class

 

[Justcrazy]

Anderson

 

[mithun_minhas]

SRK hair style

 

[zabalestmsm]

Shoaib Akhtar's hindi commentary lol! Hyper active! Lol..

 

[zabalestmsm]

KKR's batting looks weak on paper! No big names!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Can Rohit get a hundred here??

 

[iHammad]

We are having separate match threads? Lol I thought my one thread was enough

 

[Anchorman]

Shoaib Akhtar's hindi commentary lol! Hyper active! Lol..

"Russell baray honge tou seekh jaien gey kaisi bowling karni hai."

"Russell bari mehrbani hogi aapki yorker kara dein."

 

[Anchorman]

Can Rohit get a hundred here??

Put the house on it.

 

[zabalestmsm]

"Russell baray honge tou seekh jaien gey kaisi bowling karni hai."

"Russell bari mehrbani hogi aapki yorker kara dein."

Lol...

 

[Arsal_AK]

Take a single Corey.

 

[iHammad]

Anyways, SRK on screen as they play Lungi Dance and Chammak Chalo, crowd goes wild

 

[Anchorman]

Bet*

 

[Arsal_AK]

No century.

 

[Anchorman]

For those wondering how Narine did, he conceded 28 runs in 4 overs, and didn't take any wickets. Looked about as threatening as a lamb.

 

[Justcrazy]

169 is Target

 

[Electron]

Akhtar has been such a great addition to Hindi commentary.

 

[iHammad]

Lol, Shane Warns and Michael Vaughan are doing anakysisbon sky sports for this

 

[desi_launda]

Akhtar has been such a great addition to Hindi commentary.

And Siddhu?

 

[cricket.mad]

For those wondering how Narine did, he conceded 28 runs in 4 overs, and didn't take any wickets. Looked about as threatening as a lamb.

Yup..narayan was not at all threatening..and i think he will be taken for cleaners as the tournament progresses..if this is what all he have to offer then take my word...before the end of tournament he will be out of the squad

 

[Abhilash93]

Morkel seems to have bowled well...missed it

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Yup..narayan was not at all threatening..and i think he will be taken for cleaners as the tournament progresses..if this is what all he have to offer then take my word...before the end of tournament he will be out of the squad

Narayan?

Krishnaswamy Narayan?
