**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 03:27

Only interested in seeing how Gill, Mavi and Shaw does.

Shaw will not get a chance unfortunately.

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 03:29

DD must drop Vijay Shankar and play a proper batsman in his place.

They should give Prithvi Shaw a chance.

**IndianFan2018** · 16th April 2018, 04:20

GG vs KKR interesting contest

**Sami92** · 16th April 2018, 12:20

KKR must play Tom Curran over Mitchell Johnson. Johnson isn't bowling as well as he would have liked to warrant selection as a pace spearhead in KKR. Curran is in the groove playing international cricket and hungry for wickets.

KKR XI:
1 LYNN
2 NARINE
3 Uthappa
4 Rana
5 Karthik
6 RUSSELL
7 Gill
8 T CURRAN
9 Mavi
10 Chawla
11 Kuldeep

DD should drop Shankar from the lineup. I would play Jayant in place of Nadeem as Jayant can bat as well.

DD XI:
1 ROY
2 Gambhir
3 Pant
4 MAXWELL
5 Iyer
6 Shaw
7 MORRIS
8 Jayant
9 Tewatia
10 Shami
11 BOULT

Gill and Shaw are wasted at 7 and 6. They are yet to acquire requisite skills for those positions in T20.

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 14:21

Gill again playing at No.7.

What a joke. He is not a finisher.

**dauntless** · 16th April 2018, 14:33

Not interested in match but hopefully Jason Roy does well again.He is my favorite batsman after umar akmal

**UN talkz** · 16th April 2018, 14:35

Wth UMAR AKMAL

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 14:36

Lynn is a hack.

**UN talkz** · 16th April 2018, 14:41

Lynn-ul-Haq

**Protea Fan** · 16th April 2018, 14:44

Always love watching boult bowls.....such a great rhythm and action he has got

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 14:46

Boult is bowling beautifully again here. One of the best pacers going around.

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 14:48

Lynn can breathe easy now. He can smack a few of Shabaz Nadeem.

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 14:57

Nadeem is such a poor bowler. A total cannon fodder this guy is. Gives a lot of flight like its a Test match and gets smacked for sixes.

**WengerOut** · 16th April 2018, 15:02

Umm..no...he has always been decent in IPL. An economy of 7 is GOLD for a spinner especially on these roads.

**King Kong** · 16th April 2018, 15:37

Nitish Rana is good talent. Not sure whether he can make it at the top level but a perfect player for IPL. Always maintains a good strike rate.

Sure is a joke. On a positive note, he can maybe improve his power game

Looks good. Stanlake made him look like a fool the other day. Don't know if he can't face good pace or if it was a one off.

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 15:47

Really poor bowling from DD.

Just serving pies to Russell and Rana.

Stanlake is an awkward bowler to face even for the best of batsmen at the start. He did play well against pace last season, now watch how Morris is being taken to cleaners by him.

**rhony** · 16th April 2018, 15:53

Looks like SHami didn't read the memo about not bowling full length to Russell

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 15:57

Shami getting destroyed by Russell. All length balls or slower balls.

Where are the Yorkers Shami? I know he bowls them well. Looks like his brain is not working.

**Hasan123** · 16th April 2018, 16:12

No score is safe with DK captaincy.

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 16:14

Chawla looks like a RoshoGolla himself.

**Tyler Durden** · 16th April 2018, 16:15

India's next Kohli is gone for a poor shot again. This kid has to understand that it's not some U 19 game against Pakistan lil boys.

**WengerOut** · 16th April 2018, 16:17

KKR shud stop this Narine crap . Move Uthappa and Rana one place up each. And accomodate Gill in place of current position of Rana.

**Sam99** · 16th April 2018, 16:18

Shami should just quit ipl and t20 format. Should work hard for test cricket and also 2019 world cup. He is destroying his little legacy he has in test and odi format.

What is he supposed to do? He came in 18th over with less than 12 balls to go. He had to throw his bat at every ball.

Promote Gill up the order and he will shine. He is not a power hitter at this point of his career. Does not seem to have enough muscle to clear the boundary against big boys.

I will still take someone like Samson over MS "Over the Hill" Dhoni.

Dont bother dude. He still thinks Dhoni is a cricketer

Many legends have thrown their wicket with poor shot after becoming legends. Gill is a kid only now.

He can take his time to establish himself in international arena. There is no hurry as such.

Mate! You lost this argument the moment you brought up Samson vs Dhoni when the post was about Gill. If you had to really argue about Dhoni, I would have respected your counter post if you had posted it under relevant Dhoni's thread. why bring that topic here?

Yes! That's because I have better Cricketing knowledge than you!

Mate, you're wrong again !! You're Dhoni fan not cricket.

**King Kong** · 16th April 2018, 16:26

Seems like the trend is changing now. Lose the toss - win the game.

If I'm a Dhoni's fan, am I not supposed to talk about Gill? What logic is this?

Who told that you can't?

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 16:35

Chawla gets Roy.

Lot resides on Pant and his hacking abilities now.

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 16:39

two down

**rhony** · 16th April 2018, 16:40

Shooper Star Iyer clueless again

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 16:42

If Kolkata had either Yusuf or manish Pandey they would have been much more strong side.

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 16:42

15 / 2

2 overs

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 16:43

Lets see what Pant is made of.

Lots of overs to play and lots of runs to score.

**rhony** · 16th April 2018, 16:46

Impressed with this kid Mavi. Touching 145 and smooth repeatable action.

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 16:49

Wish Nagarkoti was also bowling today.

Mavi is sharp. Bowling 140+ with ease.

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 16:52

His run up is easy and bowls relaxedly. Yet the speed gun shows 140+.

Nagarkoti looks like an athlete. Sprite on his feet and skinny. If nagarkoti was bowling today, it would have given is a good idea of both youngsters pace.

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 16:54

KKR only weakness is little fragile middle order, otherwise a well balanced team , maybe try opening with Gill and narine , give them license to go after bowlers . Even small cameos will be effective. Then Lynn , Uthappa and Kartik at 3 , 4 and 5 would be more compact

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 16:56

38 . 3

4 overs

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:00

45 / 3

5 overs

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:02

One over of Power Play left

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 17:02

Good bowling by Mavi so far.

**big_gamer007** · 16th April 2018, 17:04

Mavi is a good bowler hopefully can only improve from here..

Seems like we are back to our losing ways after a fluke win..

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:06

56. 3

6 overs

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:07

Pant looking dangerous here

**Send1983** · 16th April 2018, 17:09

Pant is really good. amazing player.

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:09

132 from 13 overs required

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:14

Pant

**WengerOut** · 16th April 2018, 17:15

Attendance: 51693

Finally common sense prevail
No watching how is mavi bowling?

India will be team to beat if they have exciting young express bowler and seems like nogarkoti or mavi can be the man

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:17

Delhi still in the game.

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:19

4 overs from Kuldeep would be critical here

**WengerOut** · 16th April 2018, 17:20

What a way to get out !! Seems like long hops are the fashion this year. Kohli ,ABD and now Pant

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:21

Kuldeep strikes

**gani999** · 16th April 2018, 17:23

So if the performance in the IPL is anything to go by, we have excellent middle order batsmen in Pant, Samson, Ishan Krishan and potentially, Deepak Hooda.

Can we now kiss a final goodbye to Raina and Jadhav?

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:25

Good hit

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:27

5 down

**troodon** · 16th April 2018, 17:27

Pant throws it away yet again. He needs to learn from Samson who can score big 50's.

As of now, Pant huffs and puffs his way to 30's and 40's at 150 S/R. Not bad, but if he wants to make it big, he needs to do a bit more than that.

Pant and Ishan Kishan are in the same boat. Aggressive talented batsmen, but neither have a good head on their shoulders. They can only play in top gear or get out.

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:30

99 / 5

10 overs

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:32

Maxi Power

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:33

maxwell plays one shot two many.

**WengerOut** · 16th April 2018, 17:33

Another long Hop. Another dismissal. Whats happening !!

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:37

narine strikes

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:39

Its all over for Delhi now.

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:40

wickets falling like nine pins.

**Justcrazy** · 16th April 2018, 17:43

Delhi had lots of overs , they played a lot of rash shots.

**JattMaula** · 16th April 2018, 17:49

Delhi back to their aukaat.
