They lost their first 2 games on similar fashion because of batting so they should fix this one, they need stability on middle order. Bowling seems okay so they could compromise with 1 foreign allrounder. Pick 3 pure foreign batsmen (Warner, Bairstow and Williamson) + 1 bowler (Rashid).

And may be pick Sidhart kaul if they think their bowling is weak because of 1 less bowling allrounder and let Shankar sit out for few game, he's failing on both department batting and bowling.

I am OK with the suggested changes, but it looks as if David Warner and the rest of the SRH management don't want to drop Jason Holder. And I can't blame them because he has bowled really well during the depth overs. And although he wasn't much impressive with the bat, he can be quite handy in crucial circumstances. BTW, what about replacing Williamson with Bairstow? I would say that the former is a much more useful batsmen when compared to Bairstow.
They still have 3 more game in Chennai and Chepuk pitch clearly indicating that its tough outing for batters so i think they should take this risk. Don't know but  Bairstow is excellent t-20 player and no team can't afford to keep such batsman out of the game.

It looks like some of us becoming panuti. Opt for strong team and they start losing their marbles and today DC struggled really bad. I don't remember when Unadkat bowled such a excellent 4 overs spell.

Guess now SRH should give some chance to Kane Williamson as their middle order looking shit so far. 3d dude Vijay Shankar disappointing everyone and Pandey ji not finishing game for his team despite his start.

Pandey is OK, but Vijay Shankar has been wasting his opportunities for some time now. Neither his batting, nor his bowling seems to be of any use for SRH. I would suggest bringing in Kane Williamson in place of Vijay Shankar. But now another question arises. Williamson being an overseas player can't directly replace Shankar. Another overseas player needs to be dropped. So who will be that? For the last game they went with Warner, Rashid, Holder and Bairstow. It is going to be an extremely tough decision.

In today's match. I want to bet for Delhi Capital. Because I like this team. I chose this team because they have a strong batting lineup. Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and Hetmayer, these player are like T20 specialist batsmen. I hope Delhi Capital will beat Rajasthan Royals today.

@Royse777 if possible then add "Pool Participants Only" in subject.
Just did. Thanks for this suggestion which never came in my mind LOL

So, two other guys just left me behind, and they are leading the pool. Yesterday the match was moving very fast. When Patel bowled the no ball, SRH were pretty sure that they had the match. But Patel held his nerves. A slow short ball, Rashid is not a specialist batsman, so he swung his bat, but it was too early ball just left him and in the keepers hand. The free hit was a wast and then in the next ball Rashid gone. 8 from 2 balls and no recognize batsman in the pitch.

Another close match, worth watching. It's good for me that I am not gambling in this season.

During the last over, SRH needed a total of 16 runs to win, and at this point Bhuvneshwar Kumar was at strike with Rashid Khan at the other end. Bhuvneshwar took a single to give the strike to Rashid. So the equation was 15 from 5. The next ball went for two runs. The equation again changed to 13 from 4. Now the turning point came. Harshal Patel bowled the no-ball, which was hit for a boundary by Rashid. At this point, SRH needed 8 runs from 4 balls, which I thought was perfectly achievable.

Should I day typical SRH? Last year, we had also seen the same case. It was an easy win but they ruined it. I got 2 point although I forgot to pick today.

Perhaps I can make a comeback during the remaining rounds. The first round was a disaster for me.
I haven’t done so good so far. But I'm still hopeful. You know there a re a huge long way still we have. Anything can happen by then. Look at the last year pool. All the winners weren’t in the top list in the beginning.

What is the possibility of someone predicting 6 out of 6 results correctly?
Totally possible. I got all the picks correct in one of the ending rounds in the last pool(10/10 or 11/11). It all comes down to luck basically.

LOL.. I was just joking.. anyway congratulations to RapTarX.

Perhaps I can make a comeback during the remaining rounds. The first round was a disaster for me. I don't have much hope for tomorrow's match as well (but the fact that Stokes is out of the IPL should give advantage to the Delhi Capitals). The second round will start from 16th April onward, and I am hopeful that I will be able to reverse the losing trend.

Bet on SRH and they screwed me over just like KKR screwed me over yesterday. MI and RCB narrowly won both their games and my favorites(KKR and SRH) handed the wins on a platter.

The no ball in the last over gave some hope but that batsman was too annoying that he could not hit the free ball and then in the next ball he did not cross the bat. This guy was a joke!
What the heck are you expecting from a bowler under such a pressure situation? The player that you are talking about is Rashid Khan who is a fantastic bowler. He played better than several batsmen in the team.

I have serious doubt that he is involved with some fixers.  Grin
Send some tip on my way.

Here is an insight for all of you. After the match start if you see that other guy had a pick and I had the opposite pick then you know for sure the result of the match. Use this tip and take revenge on the bookies LOL

Damn.. this IPL is turning out to be a horror fest for me. At the same time, I am not sure how Rapter got 6 out of 6 results correctly. I have serious doubt that he is involved with some fixers.  Grin What is the possibility of someone predicting 6 out of 6 results correctly? First round is about to end, and the last match of this round will be played tomorrow (Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals). I have opted for DC. Let's see how it goes.

WTF!
6/6! LOL
I am yet to earn my first point. I was hoping a point today but it seems I am very consistent in losing. Shall I say that I am number 1 in losing? 😉

Yesterday my team were winning easily but at the end they messed up and today we saw the same. The no ball in the last over gave some hope but that batsman was too annoying that he could not hit the free ball and then in the next ball he did not cross the bat. This guy was a joke!

They seems to fill the all rounder quota in every game. So far Jason Holder turning out to be good pick, he already got important wicket of Virat.

SRH's main concern should be their batting order and i hope they utilize Holder and Samad carefully when chasing. No bets today so i don't mind last ball finish again.  Grin

And Rashid got the Big fish AB.

Jason Holder was included in the place of Sandeep Sharma. That turned out to be a good move. And Shahbaz Nadeem (who came in for Mohammed Nabi) picked up the crucial wicket of Shahbaz Ahmed, so in a sense that change also worked. SRH should be pretty satisfied with their bowling effort. They kept RCB under 150. And once again, Rashid Khan conceded less than 5 runs per over. They looks very comfortable in the chase, with David Warner and Manish Pandey looking well set.
Rashid khan is beast. Batmen come and go but no one is able to decode him even likes of Kohli and Ab struggles against him.

Their bowlers always do excellent job in every season. Batters need to up their game as well considering chasing gets tough in the last 8-10 overs here in Chepuk, already saw 2-3 times.

So far so good.

Edit
Lol
Guess its not easy to chase here in Chennai, even 150-160 looks winning total.

  🤣? Mumbai Indians are going to lose today (hopefully), will that open my diary?
But but match isn’t finished yet. It seems MI is coming back into the match and it won't easier for KKR. MI still has chance to win the match.
Fun fact- Rohit is in bowling and he is injured before going for his first bowl.
With Zero point from 5 matches I am leading the bottom side of the pool, if anyone wants to share this spot with me then I will kick your ass 🤣

@all, did you have guys like me before to have no points after 5 matches in a raw?

Seriously, I gave my best on choosing the team but how come I become too much wrong in every single match LOL. Someone should start taking advantage of my picks. You know who will win after seeing my picks 😉

OK.. Royal Challengers Bangalore made just one change. Devdutt Padikkal is in for Rajat Patidar. On the other hand SRH has still not included Kane Williamson. Makes me wonder whether David Warner is having a personal enmity with Williamson. They made two changes - Mohammed Nabi and Sandeep Sharma are dropped and Jason Holder and Shahbaz Nadeem included in their place. Not very happy with the SRH changes. They should have included Williamson.

What do you guys think about today's matches? SRH won the toss and choose to bowl first. I bet on SRH's win today. I chose SRH because the SRH team seemed stable enough to me. They have some great batsmen like Warner, Pandya, Bairstow as well as great bowlers like Rashid Khan, Bhubaneswar Kumar. I think SRH will win.
