It feels like Samson's international career never going to kick in. After his first ton in the first game he again went into his shell and struggling with the consistency drama. It pains me to see such a talented batsman to struggle again n again. Poor guy need serious soul searching if he want to make name for himself in the cricketing world.
Samson is highly inconsistent. Although his fans would disagree with me, I think he has got enough chances at least when compared to someone like Devdutt Padikkal or Ishan Kishan. Now there is too much competition for the slot of wicketkeeper batsman and Samson has so far wasted whatever opportunity that was given to him. A lot will depend on how he performs during the remainder of the IPL.
In future selectors might play ping pong with the 3-4 individuals and they should as more guys ranking up quickly. As of now wicket keeper slot vacuum is already filled by Pant and in shorter format KL would be their second choice. Padikkal is keeper?

In this season MI is not looking hungry enough.
No I don't think Padikkal is a wicket keeper. I always thought he was an all-rounder?
I think KL Rahul is batting so good that he would fit anyway despite of using him as a wicket-keeper or not at least in the shorter formats. Ishan Kishan is inconsistent too but yeah a good talent. So there is going to be an abundance of wicket-keeping batsmen soon.
Lfc is the only one who correctly predicted Punjab scoring an easy win over MI which is an exceptional prediction since I didn't expect Punjab to bounce back like this. Will they start another winning streak like last season?
Bet on KKR against RR primarily due to their recent performance against CSK. Also, 2 exciting matches this Sunday people.
Ahh, they played like a great team today. In all three departments, they were spot on. It looked as if it's an entirely different team from the one that played the previous match. I think it was the start of the bowling attack which worked pretty nicely for Punjab. I Still think that Gayle and Rahul should open. Gayle is useless if he comes after 10 overs. But no one expected that Punjab could pull it off this easily. They have found the right combination for Chennai Stadium but I think it was their last match here now.
