Well, Rohit Sharma got the most trophies in IPL even than Dhoni means he got something and today KKR lost the match which is at the hands until 17th over of the second innings. Russel shine with the ball but extremely poor with the bat, he was one of the most destructive IPL batsman but now he is one of the reason why KKR lost the match tonight.
KKR had a bad track record against Mumbai Indians and they lost 9 matches in the past 10 they played and i was expecting a change in that regard and when KKR bowled well and was able to restrict Mumbai Indians for 152 runs i thought they would win the match as KKR has the batting power to chase a score like that and since they could not chase a small total then there is no way they are going to defeat them in this season as well.

Now Mumbai Indians have made it 10 out of the last 11 matches between the two sides. Rather than the good bowling (initially from Rahul Chahar, and then from Bumrah and Boult), the real reason why KKR lost the match was due to poor batting from their middle order. Dinesh Karthik and Andre Russel were scoring at less than one run a ball, when the required run rate was close to 10 runs per over. All the hard work done by the top order was wasted by the middle and lower order.

This is the expectation of most of the cricket fans. Mumbai Indians have got a big fan followers, KKR too has good support as it is celebrity owned. In such a way more people will be watching this games. The 152 target looked like an easy score, but KKR weren't able to reach it with three wickets left whereas Mumbai Indians lost all their wickets in the 20 overs.

I made the post because I have seen Mumbai Indians losing close matches, because they chose the wrong bowler for the final over. But this time, everything went well for Mumbai Indians. They came from a situation where everyone had written them off. When you have two of the most experienced IPL batsmen at crease (Dinesh Karthik and Andre Russell) it is natural to assume that they would successfully chase the target without much wobble. But the Mumbai Indians bowlers had other plans. First it was Krunal Pandya who took the crucial wickets and then it was Bumrah and Boult who bowled the tight overs. And obviously the credit should go to Rohit Sharma as well, for the tactics today.

Despite having such a good batting line-up, the performance of Mumbai's batsmen is disappointing. However, KKR's bowlers bowled brilliantly. Russel has taken 5 wickets in 2 overs. Moreover, Cummins and Shakib bowled great. I hope KKR will easily win today's match.

If you have an ordinary captain, then you lose matches even with the best players. On the other hand, if you have an intelligent captain, then you can win matches with average players. The first scenario is applicable to teams such as Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals, while the latter scenario is applicable for teams such as Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings. Rohit Sharma's captaincy is not working for Mumbai Indians.

Today Mumbai Indians and KKR is battling it out and Mumbai Indians have a really good track record against KKR but i think they can change that in this match and start a new momentum  Grin.
That is a good prediction Kolkata Knight Riders bowled well and they were able to restrict Mumbai Indians for 152 runs and it is a good opportunity for Kolkata Knight Riders to win the match but Mumbai Indians have a really good bowling line up and i am expecting a good fight back from them till the end. The last 5 overs were a disaster for Mumbai Indians as they lost 7 wickets for 38 runs and Andre Russell put the dent by picking 5 wickets.

The way that the Mumbai Indians batted in the end was just pathetic. At one point, they were 115/3 (15 overs). In the next 5 overs they lost 7 wickets and could add only 37 runs. And this is the performance from a team which is widely regarded as having the strongest middle and lower order (Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard.etc). And I don't know what happened to Rohit Sharma. He was completely out of form.

So Mumbai Indians will be batting first. Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and asked their opponents to go first. Quinton de Kock is included in the playing XI for MI, replacing Chris Lynn. That was not a surprise, but I would say that it is harsh on Lynn. He performed exceptionally well during the last match (top-scored for MI with 49 runs from 35 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore) and gets dropped for this match. Life is tough, sometimes.
Quinton de Kock is back, which is much expected. Also it's unexpected Chiris Lynn is out of the team though he played good innings in previous match. Harsh on Chris Lynn, he deserves place in MI team. Lynn is a far better T20 player than Quinton. De Kock got out early, let's see how thing goes.
MI was looking for the right and left combination which makes the bowlers to keep their line hard so they will get more loose balls but unfortunately De Kock went back to the dressing room too early and MI batsmen are really struggling apart from Surya Kumar Yadav. MI lost all their wickets and scored only 152 after the first innings which means their poor form continues again this year as well like every other year at the beginning of the season.

Eoin Morgan shows why captaincy plays an important role in the cricket and he actually made everything tougher for MI with his different tactics from opening the bowling with spinners from both ends.

Today we have a high-voltage match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians. The point to remember here is that MI has win 9 out of the last 10 matches between the two teams. However, the morale in the Mumbai Indians camp may be low after their defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore, while the Kolkata Knight Riders won their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a quite convincing manner.


I still think MI are a much stronger team in this season of IPL. One match defeat doesn't destroy the morale of any team. KKR are a good side but MI are a much better team, if you compare them both. In today's match I think MI have much greater chance of winning it.
Don't forget the match is happening at Chennai not at Mumbai so their strong lineup may struggle as well and on the other side KKR has perfect bowling unit to tackle MI batsmen if the pitch starts assist the spin bowling. But there is no objection in the strong lineup available in MI because they have perfect players for each of the position so even if one batsman plays well the team will reach 170+ in any pitch condition.

There is no doubt that Mumbai Indians are the strongest team in this edition of the IPL. The other teams are far behind. However the way in which they lost the first match to RCB was unexpected. I agree that they have the best players and the right team balance. But captaincy is not up to the mark. They lost the match against RCB due to poor tactics in the end overs. Rohit is one of the best players in the IPL. But he is not the best captain. On the other hand, KKR probably has the best captain in this tournament (Eoin Morgan).

There is no point in scoring a century, when your team loses the match. And this has happened to Sanju Samson so often. He made a big blunder in the penultimate ball. He should have taken the single and given strike to Chris Morris. Getting a four of the final over is much more probable than hitting a six. And let's not forget the fact that Chris Morris is having a T20 strike rate of 150 plus, with a very decent batting average.
He is the captain and he was confident in winning the game with a six if not who would deny a single to put Chris Morris on strike and even Chris Morris was surprised that the skipper did not trust his batting capabilities and that was evident with the surprised reaction and then at that moment i knew he will mess up as you cannot be Dhoni like figure, take the single and if Chris Morris would have scored a boundary it was a victory.

He could have scored a boundary and then have the super over, after seeing the first innings score i knew it is going to be a difficult chase but the match was swinging both ways till the last over and Arshdeep Singh bowled a good line and length and he should have taken a single and given the strike to Chris Morris, first match as captain and he made some crucial mistakes but he will learn from it.

I was mad at Samson, because I made a bet in favor of Rajasthan Royals and I lost it. Arshdeep bowled well, but we should not forget Meredith who conceded just 8 runs in the 19th over. 21 runs were needed from 12 balls, which was achievable. But Meredith got the wicket of Lord Tewatia, and then apart from the six, bowled a really tight over. Jhye Richardson would be really disappointed. He conceded 55 runs of his 4 overs, which was incidentally his most expensive bowling performance in T20s to date.
