I don't know what is happening with KXIP. They have a good team with some skillful batsman. Even then today they have scored only 132 runs.
SRH played well today. J. Bairstow is on form now. SRH will win more matches if he gives us such a great innings like today.
The IPL is so unpredictable this season. All teams are good. All teams have some good players. But to win a match, it is important to have a bond between the players. Which is not the case with most team players. So, despite having good players, they are not able to achieve the expected results.

KXIP 132 and all out, and SRH won by 69 runs. I thought KXIP chasing today big ran match after watching Pooran such big shots. However, winning circumstance changed drastically. BTW! SRH made a flying start today! Jonny Bairstow looks like a Monster innings today. Truly He is a classy Opener. Just 3 runs short before celebrating century, he had deserved that.
In middle Nicholas Pooran make a good fifty in only 17 balls which is called Madian Fifty. Still pooran is playing well and scored 77 runs in 32 balls. But they already lost 5 wickets. So it is quite impossible to keep growing by Pooran alone.
I was backing SRH to win because they put up a good total on board but Nicholas Pooran played a good innings but when you start loose wickets on the other end it is difficult and Maxwell is struggling in these pitches and if he could play a supporting role they could have taken the score closer but they are all out for 132 runs. Rashid Khan is the best T20 bowler ever, he is really economical and all the players are finding it difficult to score against him.

By the way 3 wickets already down for KXIP and from now on it looks impossible, bad form and losing streak still continues for them.
wickets are still losing by KXIP. In middle Nicholas Pooran make a good fifty in only 17 balls which is called Madian Fifty. Still pooran is playing well and scored 77 runs in 32 balls. But they already lost 5 wickets. So it is quite impossible to keep growing by Pooran alone. And this is the normal in this IPL that if one do a good total in the first innings other team can not chase it. >another wicket gone. it's Mujeeb. Are you guys watching today's match between KXIP and SRH? SRH is batting superbly. It's now 159 runs in 14.4 balls and even they did not lost any wicket yet. So we can expect the total will cross 200 runs easily. what do you think, can KXIP chassed the total will be?
I was expecting them to make a total of around 230-240 at this point. But then Warner and Bairstow fell to Bishnoi in the same over (16th) and the no.3 and no.4 batsmen were unable to keep the scoreboard ticking. Promoting inexperienced Abdul Samad to the third slot failed big time. Do Warner really think that Samad is better than Williamson? Despite Pooran dropping him once, he could only make a single digit score.
BTW... very bad start for KXIP. Mayank Agarwal run out, thanks to poor support from KL Rahul.
I had my last pick at the sunrisers in the BCT pool. AT 14 overs, it looked like the win was sealed as they had 150 plus without any loss of wickets. They managed 201 against an expected 220-230. Though with their top order, including Rahul out of the way, i suppose this is a closed case now. Hope though that they give a decent fight. I want this to be a narrow one so I win this round, yayy..

Right now Bairisttow 97 and Warner 52 and SRH 160 in 15 overs without any wicket is really healthy work done by these two and they can touch 220 to 230 very easily because now both in good touch and bowlers losing their grip on ball which is very poor from KXIP.
Edit: after timeout first ball and Warner gone 160/1 in 15.1 overs.
Edit: 15.4 overs 160/2 now Bairistow gone very good bowling by Bishoni.
Edit: 16.1 overs 161/3 what a change of fortune after this timeout now look like 200 is not coming.
This is actually how the game works. Anyrhing change can possible in any time. This innings is a big example of it. We don't think before when the first two wicket was playing well. And suddenly after time out they lost 4 wickets in a short period. After passing hard time for a over Abhishek Sharma and Williamson played well and help to reach atleast 200 up. Edit: after timeout first ball and Warner gone 160/1 in 15.1 overs.
Edit: 15.4 overs 160/2 now Bairistow gone very good bowling by Bishoni.

Though KXIP batting line is strong but I think this 200 runs will be tough to chassed for them.

You cannot blame one player for the loss. The whole team was struggling against KKR from the beginning. Only in the end when Jadeja started hitting everyone thought CSK still can win but it was too late. The openers and the middle order of CSK are struggling from day one and not to forget pathetic fielding.
In this case, the blame must be on Jadhav and Dhoni. Because at the end of the 16th over, CSK needed 44 runs from 4 overs, with 7 wickets in hand. Sam Curran was batting along with MS Dhoni. Less than 2 runs per ball was required, when on average most of the teams were scoring around 2.5 runs per ball during overs 16-20.
When Kedar Jadhav came to bat, 39 runs were needed from 21 balls. Still it was very easy, as they had 6 wickets in hand. Now out of the 21 balls available, Jadhav took 12 balls, and scored just 7 runs. The other batsmen just got 9 balls to themselves (and made 21 runs). If Jadhav is not to be blamed, then who should we blame?

From the beggining csk was batting well. And Shane Watson played well yesterday and help to give a chance of win the match. And Yes I agreed with it that the 16-20 overs batting line was very poor. So if anybody blame jadhav it will not be totally wrong IMO. When Kedar Jadhav came to bat, 39 runs were needed from 21 balls. Still it was very easy, as they had 6 wickets in hand.

Yeah, age is not the factor for their lose. They lost the game because of their own mistakes. 167 is not a big target. I think bonding between them is not good. And there are no regular performers in their team. So, they are not getting the expected results even such a good team.
If Kedar Jadhav had given strike to Jadeja, then CSK would have won easily. Jadeja made 21 from 8 balls, while Jadhav made just 7 from 12 balls. If Jadeja had the opportunity to play 3-4 additional deliveries, then he could have handed out a victory to CSK. Jadhav was just blocking the balls, without attempting to make runs. And in the end this attitude cost the CSK two valuable points.

Though KKR was won the match . But their batting was poor in last night .Looking at the forst 10 over ithought they might scpore than 185 today . But i'm disappointed . No one was able to run except Tripathi .
But i don't agree with you that KKR is a solid bowling team . Their bowlers are playing well . MI's bowling action is much better than KKR . They have Boult , Bumrah , Pattinson ,Chahar and Pollard. Everyone is good bowler.
For KKR they have Pat Cummins who is bowling fast and on his day he could trouble any batsman and Varun Chakravarthy is bowling well and then the young players and they are filling up with some useful overs and Sunil Narine is not in great form but still he could pick some wickets here and there and that bowling line up was more than enough to strangle CSK Though KKR was won the match . But their batting was poor in last night .Looking at the forst 10 over ithought they might scpore than 185 today . But i'm disappointed . No one was able to run except Tripathi .

.The problem with IPL is that every team has the best team on papers but we lack those in performance, fielding was not up to the standard yesterday for CSK as they dropped some tough chances, bowlers need to avoid bowling no balls and every chance should be taken to win matches.

I will bet on KKR . The main reason is KKR is more stable than CSK. I expected a good innings from S. Gill , A. Russel and E. Morgan . I think this 3 is the best on their position . N. Rana and D. Karthik also good player . On the other hand CSK is a good team also. But they have not any players who are playing well on a regular basis except du Plessis. That's why i bet on KKR today
Right now Kolkata Knight Riders is scoring at a healthy pace and anything above 170 could be a big challenge for CSK to chase and with Russel and Morgan yet to come they could very well score above that and KKR could win the match because they have a solid bowling team that include Pat Cummins and some young bowlers.Though KKR was won the match. But their batting was poor in last night. Looking at the first 10 over I thought they might score than 185 today. But I’m disappointed. No one was able to run except Tripathi.

Still feeling hard time to assist the right combination in my opinion because they are very close to win but getting missed it due to silly mistakes.Age is not really a factor for their lose only the wrong shot selection from the individual costs them a lot.

CSK wins the cap for the most inconsistent team in this IPL 
.
.I would disagree. CSK is one of the most consistent teams in this edition of the IPL. They have lost 4 of their last 5 matches. The sole victory (against KXIP was made possible by individual performances from Watson and du Plessis rather than any team effort). Anyway, this was expected even before the start of the tournament. What do you really expect from a team, where the majority of the players are in 35-40 age group? It won't work in T20 format.
True that! Disappointed with Dhoni too as I expected him to show his good form but he was also disappointing. Losing by 10 runs having wickets in hand doesn't even make sense. This time their performance has been the worst comparing the earlier seasons.
Dhoni is 39 years old and he cannot win the matches single handedly at this age and he is not having much experience in this ground even as an international cricket player, so you need to understand the difference in situation. They promoted Sam in this match but did not find any spectacular innings like everyone expected and in the end it was a big chase for them. CSK wins the cap for the most inconsistent team in this IPL
