Going with Mumbai Indians for a narrow win today, they have some good momentum building after taking down CSK and SUN in their last two matches, and Joseph is currently ranked top in the tournament for best bowling figures, bowling average, and bowling economy.

That said I am worried about the strength of the Kings Xi bowlers though, Curran is performing well at the moment and there's a chance Viljoen could be back. Hoping that De Kock, Pandya, and Pollard can keep up a high strike rate against them without playing too risky.

Speaking of risky, I'm feeling like going with some longer odds today!  Wink

- Mumbai Indians Top Bowler: Alzarri Joseph (3.70)
- Team with top batter: Mumbai Indians (1.75)
- Kings Xi Punjab Total Runs after 10 overs: Under 76.5 (2.38)

Check out all our lines for today's game here for the best odds, low margins, and low min stakes starting at just 0.0000001 BTC!

Dhoni is 37 years old, right (38 in two months)? Being a keeper-batsman, I think he'll continue to play T20 cricket for another 4-5 years. And that is enough time for CSK to search and find new talent. 
Let's say 38 years and let's say he will play more 4 years meaning you are asking Dhoni to play cricket when he is 42!
Come on. I do not think he will go for this long journey.

Anyway, I am sure CSK will find replacements of all those legends they have.

@Sithara007 You might wanna try some old wine sometime Cheesy not only Harbhajan but majority player in CSK are old and their average age is above 30+ as a unit. so experience counts Cheesy
I think officially it's 31+ LOL
My concern is that how CSK will perform in the future once they will not have Dhoni and other legends who are playing now.

By the way, it was nice to see CSK to win yesterday.

They already have a good number of all rounders in their team:

Kedhar Jadhav: Good with the bat and ball
Ravindra Jadeja: Good with the bat and ball
Bravo: Pace bowler and batting

But Jadhav and Jadeja : Spin bowler and batting

So they can't replace the Bravo,they need someone who can bowl 4 overs at death and can knock 30+ runs at very good strike rate.On yesterday's match again it turns into low scoring pitch just because of the venue if it might played on different venue the scenario will be different with their bowlers.
I disagree. Bravo is a big asset for CSK and I won't deny that, but he has been out of form for quite sometime recently. Don't blame the performance of a team because of a venue which just sounds like an excuse.

Teams need to perform on any venue no matter what the conditions are. Also, Bravo did not perform well in other venues too this season.
I am not saying Jadeja and Jadhav didn't perform,but they are not pace bowlers so they can't be able to fill his place so Chennai need to pay with the options available for them.Bravo played decent this year getting wickets and also knocking the ball when needed what matters is he didn't get much chance to play with bat to prove that his capabilities are still better.
Lets just agree to disagree here.

If you are talking about pace bowlers, Deepak Chahar, Shardhul and the Australian are great bowlers and I don't think they need another pace bowler at present at least which was why I mentioned spin based all rounders.

A team which is having players such as Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine, Robin Uthappa and Andre Russell could score only 108 runs from their 20 overs in a T20 match. Who is going to believe this? And that too against a weak bowling attack, being led by the 38-year old Harbhajan Singh (who played his last match for India in 2016).
Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine aren't batsman, they played a good innings barely. I think you have least knowledge about cricket. Moreover, Chennai's bowling attack is one of the best including Chahar, Jadeja, Tahir. Those three are top performed bowlers. In addition, the captain is Dhoni. Maybe you don't know who Dhoni is and how much perfect captain he is. Someone earlier said, "Dhoni made a perfect team with average players while other captain like Virat couldn't make perfect team with top players."

This Chennai's pitch is very bad for 20-20 format. don't know what mumbo jumbo curators doing here. bottom line is this pitch turning majority of matches into the one-sided match.

@Sithara007 You might wanna try some old wine sometime Cheesy not only Harbhajan but majority player in CSK are old and their average age is above 30+ as a unit. so experience counts Cheesy

Bow to Andre Rusell. So far nicely played today too while all of the top and middle order batsman failed to score a good one. He is really playing incredible this series.

It was only Russell who helped the KKR to cross 100 runs and he was not out at 50 and KKR made 108 runs only. CSK now requires a very easy target of 16 runs in 24 balls and still have 7 wickets remaining with them.

You are underestimating CSK team . Dhoni captaincy really matters , he can win against any team with any old / new players in his team.
Look at RCB , they have high class batsmen too but still fail to score in most of the matches.

This is true though he was dropped early by Harbhajan which gave him a life and he took full advantage of it and played brilliantly. However, CSK was the better team at the end of the day and they sit comfortably on top.

I am very confident that they will be the first team to qualify for the playoffs.

Lets see what Russell does in this situation.
Not that much he can do because it's CSK, Dhoni is there. However, I didn't expect such match. Chahar is a charm. They just lost their 5th wickets, Kartik is gone. Cloudbet seems to be lost in huge bet today.

Karthik got over 17.5, but I don't think Tahir is going to finish as CSK's top bowler this game which might kill the multi  Sad

Virat just doesn't take the risk which Dhoni used to take and still takes by shuffling his bowlers and setting the field. He doesn't have patience and sometimes comes first in order, second then third but mostly doesn't get the number of runs expected from him. RCB have been bad in bowling and batting and they need someone like Gayle again to give them runs.

I will talk about his Red Ball captaincy mostly because I don't consider IPL's success-failure in the bigger picture due to various reasons. We already covered that In ODI, Dhoni got his back, we have seen many times when towards the inning Dhoni take charge of Field positions, and Virat covers Long On- Long Off.

Virat takes a risk in Red Ball cricket. There is a reason we saw a drastic change in Indian bowling line up. Before the Indian team mostly used to rely on Spinners but Kohli pushed his 4-5 fast bowlers strategy in Red Ball cricket, and we are getting the results. But on Batting strategy and Team selection, he failed miserably. Result; we lost against Proteas and English.

Now back to IPL. It's an entirely different set-up. Win and lose margin depends on many factors, captaincy is one of them but will point out only one which is very important and defines the team performance during the whole season.

Does Virat have any say during the IPL auction or not?

9 for 3. Great start to CSK and if more wickets fall, it will be like the first game of CSK where the score will be below 100. Still time left for them to bowl and after 10 overs if they lose more 3-4 wickets, the game has been won by CSK. Fingers crossed.
I guess so too , as I type this Robin is out too . Very poor from experienced player , I still expect DK to stick and play innings . Anything under 140 will be very hard for KKR to defend against CSK.

They have lost their 5th wicket for 44 in the first 10 overs itself. I feel the score would be below 100 but not 140 and if CSK don't lose their wickets, they can easily win the match. Their run rate is 5 so hoping for another 50-60 runs max which would make the score approx. 110 or less.

Wow that one came down to the wire in the end yesterday! KXIP deserved the win in the end, slightly disappointing performance from the SUN batsmen.

I've gone with a narrow win for the Superkings today, but with Karthik playing in front of local fans he might lift his game and inspire some of the others from KKR to do so too. Both teams have a solid bowling lineup too, hoping to see an entertaining battle of the spinners out there (I've got a feeling Tahir is going to go big today!)  Smiley

These are the lines I'm going with for today's game:

- Krishnakumar Dinesh Karthik total: Over 17.5 (1.92)
- Team w/ top batter: Chennai Super Kings (1.91)
- Super kings top bowler: Tahir (2.98)

I've just checked and we've got some of the best odds and the lowest margins on the IPL today, plus the lowest minimum stakes for bitcoin betting!

I chose to bet on CSK too, but I feel they can win comfortably against KKR. KKR already lost 4 wickets and I am feeling confident that I made the right decision currently. Lets see what Russell does in this situation.
