Mumbai Indians are the champions of IPL 2017

[Madplayer]

What has cursed RCB Team? This was supposed to be the highest profile team - Gayle, AB, Kohli, Head, Yadav, Watson, Rahul, Mills, Mline .........!!! The are certain to miss out now - 5 points of 9 game, including a lucky wash out SRH.

It seems RCB has turned into Delhi daredevils of the past. Massive names on paper but zero performance as a unit.

 

[MMHS]

It seems RCB has turned into Delhi daredevils of the past. Massive names on paper but zero performance as a unit.

As they say - bad days come together. Their owner is also facing tough times - may be that instability has disturbed the team; otherwise this is a brilliant T20 team, particularly for IPL, which is played on batting belters, in smallish grounds & fast out fields. On top of that, their home ground is M.Chinnaswamy...........

 

[bleaf27]

RCB has got star power but no team work - I wouldn't be surprised if Kohli's captaincy is to blame . Warner is doing an amazing job with his troops and so is Smith . Mumbai Indians is the perfect example of how winning franchises are made

What a game between Gujarat and Mumbai !
Super over

1 off 1 - i thought MI would easily win this but Gujarat looks determined to make into the playoffs now

Man! I jumped off my bed at final delivery.

 

[MMHS]

Super Over!!!!

 

[czar]

The ball couldn't have gone to a better fielder than Jaddu and he hits the bulls eye as expected

 

[czar]

Expect Gujarat to select Mc Cullum, Raina and Finch as batsmen

 

[aniket1911]

Krunal and butler should go down for MI.

 

[czar]

Faulkner to bowl for Gujrat, tight bowler

 

[bleaf27]

Man! I jumped off my bed at final delivery.

I was laughing at the field placements , there was one right in the bowlers crease

 

[czar]

Butler, Pandya, Pollard/Rana for me.

Bowler Malinga

 

[bleaf27]

Faulkner bowled brilliantly. Birthday boy

 

[aniket1911]

Pollard is poor choice IMO.
should have been butler with either krunal or parthiv.

 

[bleaf27]

Butler, Pandya, Pollard/Rana for me.

Bowler Malinga

Id put Sharma for Pandya

 

[czar]

Big Boy Pollard comes in

 

[aniket1911]

I was laughing at the field placements , there was one right in the bowlers crease

haha yeah! It was Macca. standing just at stumps.

 

[czar]

Boundary by Polly

 

[czar]

Sixer

 

[aniket1911]

Faulkner don't screw up man.

 

[aniket1911]

Polly gone!

 

[czar]

That was a low full toss

 

[czar]

Out

 

[aniket1911]

Another wicket. 12 runs to win.

 

[czar]

3 balls wasted by MI

 

[czar]

No ball

 

[bleaf27]

Damn Bumrah - perfect yorker and a no ball

 

[czar]

Now a wide

 

[czar]

Another dot

 

[bleaf27]

Bumrah bowling brilliantly

 

[czar]

Fumble by Parthiv, ball yet to hit the bat in this over.

 

[czar]

Still unable to hit the bat

 

[bleaf27]

Wow Bumrah you beauty ! What death bowling

 

[bleaf27]

Wow Bumrah blanking Mccullum and Finch

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Wow to bowl a no ball first up and then defend the super over vs BMac and Finch is quite something.

 

[bleaf27]

Bumrah bowled 8 balls in the last over - a super over including one free hit ball and was able to defend 11 runs against Finch and McCullum , cannot do better than this

[RamLakhan]

At least a competitive match by RCB to some extent (though no guarantee of win in this one as well!)

 

[RamLakhan]

Seems like Mumbai is trying too hard to gift a consolation win for RCB! Will RCB be able to accept it

 

[RamLakhan]

RCB are technically & completely ruled out of playoffs! There's no point in Virat Kohli (ABD and other big players) playing the remaining matches. If they still play it then its just for money. Hope at least the franchisee drops them for remaining matches to save the money & pay them only the base money! (Probably organizers will think that without them playing the TRPs for the matches is going to come down & hence force them to play!)

 

[big_gamer007]

Good stuff by Rohit finally hopefully he comes back in form before CT..

 

[mullahsahiban]

Guys did anyone watch RPS vs GL? OMG Ben Stokes just kicked some real good ***! Truely a Champions performance!!!!

 

[Zak_Fan]

I don't remember any IPL side having a worse tournament. RCB have been beyond pathetic this season.

 

[bleaf27]

RCB is done for the playoffs. It would have been good to see GL win today , that would have definitely bolstered their chances. I think 4th spot is between Pune and Punjab

You should see a single bowl, then you can say u've experienced it. It would be quite a good match today. Pune fighting for the last playoff spot

 

[bleaf27]

Pune peaking at the right time. If they continue the streak they'd finish at the top

 

[bleaf27]

So Pune is beasting right now - won 6 of its last 7 and now 3rd place in the Table ! Couple weeks ago it looked as if they wouldn't even make it to the playoffs.

So this is how the points table looks like - Kings 11 has 5 games in hand - If they go on a winning streak they have an outside chance to make it in. RCB and GL are dusted. If Sunrisers start to loose and Kings 11 catch a hot streak, that'd be awesome. MI and RPS trying hard to finish 1st for the playoffs

2017 Points Table

Team Pld Won Lost Tied N/R Net RR For Against Pts Form
1 MI 10 8 2 0 0 +0.427 1,661/192.1 1,642/199.5 16

[bleaf27]

Must Must win for Delhi - They still have 5 games to go - if they win all 5 - they'd end up with 16 points. Possibly an outside chance - GL is done for this IPL

 

[bleaf27]

Rishabh Pant and S Samson having a ball out there ! These kids are quite talented ! Would love to see them graduate onto the international team

 

[aniket1911]

Rishabh Pant and S Samson having a ball out there ! These kids are quite talented ! Would love to see them graduate onto the international team

Absolutely! who would have thought of this.

Samson and pant just turned the game on it's head. brilliant batting display.

 

[bleaf27]

When IPL had started , I was one of its biggest critics but looking back now I can see how IPL has immensely helped Indian cricket. Watching these youngsters play with such mature and positive mindset and freely under the mentorship of the likes of Sachin , Dravid , Jonty , Moody and international stars - you can see what kind of mindset these guys would have when they transition into international level.
Pant , Samson , Nair , Rana - watching these guys sharing the dugout with Dravid coaching em is amazing .

[Hasan123]

Steve Smith has led RPS really well. Stokes has proven to be a good signing. RPS peaking at the right time.

 

[bleaf27]

RPS winning this makes things interesting , SRH does not look comfortably in the playoffs now

 

[bleaf27]

For the 4th spot , Kings 11 and DD have 2 more games in hand compared to SRH .
DD has to win all its games If kings 11 win 3/4 left for them and SRH loses even 1 of its remaining 2 - then it gets tricky

 

[bleaf27]

See you next year DD - you blew it.
RCB /DD/ GL def out.
4th spot mash up between SRH and Kings 11
