Senior citizen and Panuti squad really looking good this year. Surprisingly Mumbai Indians looking out of touch, still no panic tho as plenty of games left for them but they really need to accelerate and get back to their A game. CSK and RCB form indicating that this year playoffs are going to be a cracker.

In the first few matches I think they (MI) were looking very good but then they lost their track. Not sure what is going wrong. The batsmen are not in run for them. Just woke up and after checking the scoreboard it seems today they will also have a hard test.

How many grounds we have for this IPL? I have noticed only two grounds so far which means the pitches are getting old and as we see the tournament progress the pitch is getting harder to bat.

I think more importantly the approach of CSK has been entirely different this season. Last season they were looking like an old and nonenergetic team who isn't here to fight.

And for this reason I was not much into them this year. If you notice then you will see I have not picked them in the first few matches LOL

Most of the players looked old and they were really unable to adjust to conditions. This time I think the team has a lot of energy which is the most important thing. There bowling which was the weak part even last year is somewhat doing okay this time. In a few matches, you see Chahar bowling good overs and in others, you see Thakur bowling good overs and Sam Curran is the trump card which they hold. Their spin department on other hand looks pretty good with Jadeja and Tahir. On paper team still looks old and orhtodox but somehow they are just hitting the right combination in each match.

At least half of the last year's squad for CSK was close to 40 years of age. This time they got rid of some of the players, such as Kedar Jadhav and Harbhajan Singh, and at the same time made slots available for some of the younger players such as Ruturaj Gaikwad. Although no one wants to admit, age plays a role in T20 cricket. You can't really expect a 40-year old batsmen to make a half century from 20 balls.

I was checking the score in superbru today knowing that I am going to bottom again but to my surprise I am actually leading in this round LOL. In the last round I was 2nd. It's the round which was a nightmare for me or I could challenge you all who are at the top 🤣

This time there are no rewards for round winners, but I am happy for your lead.

CSK was able to win today's match very easily. But I doubt if Chennai's two openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf Du Plessis lose form then what will be Chennai's overall performance. Chennai lost the first match of the season, and the two openers scored just five runs in that match. Du Plessis and Gaikwad have done well in all the other matches.

That was CSK's major issue during last season. They had Kedar Jadhav in the middle order and he used to waste a lot of balls. But this time they have Suresh Raina at that position and he seems to be in very good form. Right now Raina-Jadeja-Dhoni in the middle order looks quite strong. And then they have Sam Curran for power hitting in the final overs. And the addition of Moeen Ali has further strengthened the side. Even the bench strength looks impressive, with Robin Uthappa and Dwayne Bravo unable to find a slot in the playing XI.

Honestly speaking I never has taken this pool seriously, it was just for fun and right now I feel that the entry fee was worthy of the emotion I am having now LOL

Sorry not much to talk about the matches because I did not see many matches from this event. Just gambling and trusting my instinct 🤣

Which team did you pick today? I selected the CSK team for today's match. SRH has given a target of 172 runs. Good enough collection. SRH scored 135 runs in 18 overs. They have scored 36 runs in the last 12 balls. Williamson made 26 off 10 balls and Jadabh made 12 off 4 balls. CSK's batting lineup is good enough. I'm expecting big innings from Du Plessis.

For today's match I went with CSK, because they are like a team reborn (at least when compared to their performance during last season). But SRH is in a really good situation and they scored a lot of runs during the last 3-4 overs (especially the 19th over from Shardul Thakur, which went for 20 runs). So it looks like SRH may win today's match, unless some of the CSK batsmen deliver exceptional performances. CSK has started really well, and I have to say that both Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad are looking very confident.

Pant was a set batsman and he must have hit a six in the last over, he got three poor balls in the last over. 1st ball of the last over was a full toss, so does the last two. Sadly, he acted like he was a noob and new batsman in the pitch. The result could have been different.

Lol. I disagree. Delhi were reeling at 40 something for 3 and Pant was the one who stabilized the game for DC and stopped the domino effect. Hetmyer got lucky thanks to DDP dropping his catch which was moderately tough to be honest.

Put yourself in his shoes. Try scoring 14 from 6 balls under immense pressure. He played a captain's innings till the end and has managed to get DC to the 3rd position as a young captain.

Dude, what do you really expect? 12 runs was needed from the last three balls and one of the best RCB bowlers was bowling. Do you really think that it is that easy to score 12 from 3?

It will not be wrong if I say 14 from 6 balls, will it be Cheesy

I was referring to that. See, Pant first ball in the last over was a full toss which he managed get a single only and the 4 from the 5th ball, was an accident from Pant. In my opinion, Pant ruined the party for Delhi.

Well.. I understand the frustration. But I was point out the fact that it will be wrong to put all the blame on Pant, when the Delhi top order failed miserably. Delhi got to a decent total only because of Pant. It will be wrong to say that Pant couldn't get 14 from the last over, when the DC batsmen could only score 158 runs from the previous 19 overs. For me, it was a 50/50 scenario, and this time luck was not with Pant. He has been performing quite consistently since the start of the tournament, so I don't want everyone to blame him.

True. Can't blame Pant since he scored valuable runs when they looked like they were collapsing completely.

To Pant's credit, he still managed to score 10 runs. In such pressure situations, you need luck on your side as well. Unfortunately during yesterday's game, luck was not with the Delhi Capitals. At this point, let's not forget the fact that they are playing without two of their main players (Nortje and Iyer).

You won! It was too close. Pant was struggling to hit the balls harder than Hetmyer and RCB took a chance on him. It worked. Poor Pant was able to take 8 runs from the last 3 balls where they needed 10 runs to win.

Both Pant and Hetmyer were looking too exhausted after giving their THE BEST.

Barely won. Siraj almost messed up big time in the final over if the penultimate ball would have been a no ball. Also, Hetmyer would have been dismissed earlier if DDP didn't put down his catch.

Captaincy pressure clearly showing on Pant's batting. He's known for his aggressiveness but nowadays its missing whenever he comes to bat. Hetmeyer was striking really good, could have been different result if he was on the strike instead of Pant.

Bet on RCB against DC. ABD was amazing as usual. Looks like RCB need to bowl really well if they want to win this one since this seems like a batting pitch currently.

The KKR bowlers are in good form, but Pat Cummins is leaking too many runs towards the end of the innings. And as far as the batting is concerned, Shubman Gill failed once again. Now he has just one 30 plus score from 5 innings. Nitish Rana also seems to be in poor form.

You forgot Krishna. Both Krishna and Cummins got screwed by Jordan towards the end. Narine is bowling well, but he is batting poorly just like majority of the KKR batsmen. Tripathi seems like the only consistent batsman currently.

Today I have selected KKR. KKR decided to bowl after winning the toss. So far they seem to have succeeded. PBKS gave a target of 124 runs in 20 overs. KKR should win today's match very easily. If the batting disaster does not happen then KKR will win very easily.

Even with such a small target, KKR really struggled. Fortunately for them, Eoin Morgan got his first half-century of this edition of the IPL and in the end they managed to get full points for the game. The KKR bowlers are in good form, but Pat Cummins is leaking too many runs towards the end of the innings. And as far as the batting is concerned, Shubman Gill failed once again.

At first, I've selected KXI too but after the toss, I changed it quickly and gave KKR, Now I've noticed it remains unchanged due to my network problem, my bad luck. Sad

I have no regret LOL
Missed last three matches to pick a result and earned no point but no chance any more. I am happy that I found the right team for today's match. The way Punjab were batting it was like they had the team meeting of not scoring much run and test their bowling unit. The bowling unit failed 🤣
